Book excerpt: Although often held in contempt, dismissed with obloquy, or simply ignored, cannot the Middle Ages be regarded as more than the traditional delayer of the Renaissance and the Reformation? John Morrall, while not denying the essential differences between that age and ours, shows that the dichotomy between medieval and modern is not so self-evident. Tracing the rise, development and the eventual decline of the medieval period, the author illustrates how the attempt to implement ideals of human relationships through socially viable institutions was as strong in the days of early Christianity as it is today. He analyses the roles played by the Church, feudalism, universities, guilds and communes, and particularly by the political parties, in protecting the personalist ideal. However, by the fifteenth century, failure to preserve the ideal provoked wide-scale disillusionment with these institutions, and the eventual collapse of medieval society. The same problem of reconciling the 'individual' with the 'community' faces us today. A sympathetic understanding of medieval man's tragedy could well prove an invaluable lesson to us. -- from book cover.
Book Synopsis The Bayeux Tapestry by : John F. Szabo
Download or read book The Bayeux Tapestry written by John F. Szabo and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commanding its own museum and over 200 years of examination, observation and scholarship, the monumental embroidery, known popularly as the Bayeux Tapestry and documenting William the Conqueror’s invasion of England in October 1066, is perhaps the most important surviving artifact of the Middle Ages. This magnificent textile, both celebrated and panned, is both enigmatic artwork and confounding historical record. With over 1780 entries, Szabo and Kuefler offer the largest and most heavily annotated bibliography on the Tapestry ever written. Notably, the Bayeux Tapestry has produced some of the most compelling questions of the medieval period: Who commissioned it and for what purpose? What was the intended venue for its display? Who was the designer and who executed the enormous task of its manufacture? How does it inform our understanding of eleventh-century life? And who was the mysterious Aelfgyva, depicted in the Tapestry’s main register? This book is an effort to capture and describe the scholarship that attempts to answer these questions. But the bibliography also reflects the popularity of the Tapestry in literature covering a surprisingly broad array of subjects. The inclusion of this material will assist future scholars who may study references to the work in contemporary non-fiction and popular works as well as use of the Bayeux Tapestry as a primary and secondary source in the classroom. The monographs, articles and other works cited in this bibliography reflect dozens of research areas. Major themes are: the Tapestry as a source of information for eleventh-century material culture, its role in telling the story of the Battle of Hastings and events leading up to the invasion, patronage of the Tapestry, biographical detail on known historical figures in the Tapestry, arms and armor, medieval warfare strategy and techniques, opus anglicanum (the Anglo-Saxon needlework tradition), preservation and display of the artifact, the Tapestry’s place in medieval art, the embroidery’s depiction of medieval and Romanesque architecture, and the life of the Bayeux Tapestry itself.

Book Synopsis Freedom's Progress? by : Gerard Casey
Download or read book Freedom's Progress? written by Gerard Casey and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 969 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Freedom's Progress?, Gerard Casey argues that the progress of freedom has largely consisted in an intermittent and imperfect transition from tribalism to individualism, from the primacy of the collective to the fragile centrality of the individual person and of freedom. Such a transition is, he argues, neither automatic nor complete, nor are relapses to tribalism impossible. The reason for the fragility of freedom is simple: the importance of individual freedom is simply not obvious to everyone. Most people want security in this world, not liberty. 'Libertarians,' writes Max Eastman, 'used to tell us that "the love of freedom is the strongest of political motives," but recent events have taught us the extravagance of this opinion. The "herd-instinct" and the yearning for paternal authority are often as strong. Indeed the tendency of men to gang up under a leader and submit to his will is of all political traits the best attested by history.' The charm of the collective exercises a perennial magnetic attraction for the human spirit. In the 20th century, Fascism, Bolshevism and National Socialism were, Casey argues, each of them a return to tribalism in one form or another and many aspects of our current Western welfare states continue to embody tribalist impulses. Thinkers you would expect to feature in a history of political thought feature in this book - Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Locke, Mill and Marx - but you will also find thinkers treated in Freedom's Progress? who don't usually show up in standard accounts - Johannes Althusius, Immanuel Kant, William Godwin, Max Stirner, Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, Pyotr Kropotkin, Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker and Auberon Herbert. Freedom's Progress? also contains discussions of the broader social and cultural contexts in which politics takes its place, with chapters on slavery, Christianity, the universities, cities, Feudalism, law, kingship, the Reformation, the English Revolution and what Casey calls Twentieth Century Tribalisms - Bolshevism, Fascism and National Socialism and an extensive chapter on human prehistory.

Book Synopsis Rhetoric and Philosophy in Hobbes' Leviathan by : Raia Prokhovnik
Download or read book Rhetoric and Philosophy in Hobbes' Leviathan written by Raia Prokhovnik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1991. This book explicitly examines rhetoric as the art of persuasion in the practical world, and as in the expression of thinking in the language a speaker uses. It presents Leviathan in terms of the philosophical character of the work considered through Hobbes’ use of language to express and organise his thought. Throughout, the nature of the relationship between rhetoric and philosophy is discussed and the problems of language in philosophical understanding. The book is concerned with Hobbes’ political philosophy and his views on figurative language, interest in literary theory and particularly his allegory. A special feature is the chapter on engraved title pages in Leviathan and other texts of the era.
