Book Synopsis Le Christianisme Ésotérique by : Annie Besant
Download or read book Le Christianisme Ésotérique written by Annie Besant and published by BnF collection ebooks. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Beaucoup – la plupart même, peut-être – des personnes qui liront le titre de cet ouvrage l’accuseront immédiatement d’impliquer une idée fausse et nieront qu’il existe rien de précieux ayant droit au nom de “Christianisme Ésotérique”. Suivant une opinion très répandue et, par suite, populaire, le Christianisme ne présente rien qui puisse être appelé “enseignement occulte” ; quant aux “Mystères”, les Grands comme les Mineurs, c’était une institution essentiellement païenne. Le nom même des “Mystères de Jésus”, si familier aux Chrétiens des premiers siècles, surprendrait fort leurs successeurs modernes, et l’opinion qui verrait dans ces Mystères une institution spéciale et définie provoquerait des sourires d’incrédulité. Que dis-je ! Il a été affirmé avec orgueil que le Christianisme n’avait pas de secrets – que ce qu’il avait à dire et à enseigner, il le disait et l’enseignait à tous. Ses vérités passent pour être d’une simplicité telle, que « le premier venu – même borné – les comprendra sans peine” et que “la simplicité de l’Évangile” est devenue une expression banale. Il est donc nécessaire de prouver clairement que – tout au moins dans l’Église primitive – le Christianisme ne le cédait en rien à d’autres grandes religions possédant un “côté caché” et qu’il gardait, comme un trésor inestimable, les secrets révélés à l’élite dans ses Mystères. » BnF collection ebooks a pour vocation de faire découvrir en version numérique des textes classiques essentiels dans leur édition la plus remarquable, des perles méconnues de la littérature ou des auteurs souvent injustement oubliés.

Download or read book Le Christianisme Ésoterique written by Annie Besant and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage, écrit à l'intention de ceux qui ne se satisfont pas des enseignements exotériques, a pour objet d'appeler l'attention sur les vérités profondes qui sont la base du Christianisme. Le désir généreux de partager avec tous ce qui est précieux, de répandre à pleines mains des vérités inestimables, de ne priver personne des lumières de la connaissance vraie, a eu pour résultat un zèle inconsidéré qui a vulgarisé le Christianisme et présenté ses enseignements sous une forme souvent rebutante pour le coeur et impossible à accepter par l'intelligence. Les doctrines chrétiennes sont exposées à la lumière des enseignements théosophiques, dans leurs vérités profondes, qui sont la base du christianisme.

Book Synopsis Philosophy in a Time of Terror by : Giovanna Borradori
Download or read book Philosophy in a Time of Terror written by Giovanna Borradori and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.
Download or read book Theosophy written by René Guénon and published by Sophia Perennis. This book was released on 2004 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late nineteenth century, the Theosophical Society has been a central force in the movement now known as the New Age. Just as the Communist Party was considered 'old hat' by peace activists in the '60s, so the Theosophical Society was looked upon by many in the 'spiritual revolution' of those years as cranky, uninteresting, and passé. But the Society, like the Party, was always there, and-despite its relatively few members-always better organized than anybody else. Since then, the Society's influence has certainly not waned. It plays an important role in today's global interfaith movement, and, since the flowering of the New Age in the '70s, has established increasingly intimate ties with the global elites. And its various spinoffs, such as Elizabeth Clare Prophet's Summit Lighthouse, and Benjamin Crème's continuing attempt to lead a 'World Teacher Maitreya' onto the global stage-just as the Society tried to do in the last century with Krishnamurti-continue to send waves through the sea of 'alternative' spiritualities. Guénon shows how our popular ideas of karma and reincarnation actually owe more to Theosophy than to Hinduism or Buddhism, provides a clear picture of the charlatanry that was sometimes a part of the Society's modus operandi, and gives the early history of the Society's bid for political power, particularly its role as an agent of British imperialism in India. It is fitting that this work should finally appear in English just at this moment, when the influence of pseudo-esoteric spiritualities on global politics is probably greater than ever before in Western history.

Book Synopsis Rebel and Saint by : Julia A. Clancy-Smith
Download or read book Rebel and Saint written by Julia A. Clancy-Smith and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Clancy-Smith's unprecedented study brings us a remarkable view of North African history from the perspective of the North Africans themselves. Focusing on the religious beliefs and political actions of Muslim elites and their followers in Algeria and Tunisia, she provides a richly detailed analysis of resistance and accommodation to colonial rule. Clancy-Smith demonstrates the continuities between the eras of Turkish and French rule as well as the importance of regional ties among elite families in defining Saharan political cultures. She rejects the position that Algerians and Tunisians were invariably victims of western colonial aggression, arguing instead that Muslim notables understood the outside world and were quite capable of manipulating the massive changes occurring around them. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Stravinsky written by Jonathan Cross and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-24 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stravinsky's work spanned the major part of the twentieth century and engaged with nearly all its principal compositional developments. This Companion reflects the breadth of Stravinsky's achievement and influence in essays by leading international scholars on a wide range of topics. It is divided into three parts dealing with the contexts within which Stravinsky worked (Russian, modernist and compositional), with his key compositions (Russian, neoclassical and serial), and with the reception of his ideas (through performance, analysis and criticism). The volume concludes with an interview with the leading Dutch composer Louis Andriessen and a major re-evaluation of 'Stravinsky and Us' by Richard Taruskin.
