Download or read book The Fellowship of the Beatific Vision written by Norm Klassen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer asks a basic human question: How do we overcome tyranny? His answer goes to the heart of a revolutionary way of thinking about the very end of human existence and the nature of created being. His answer, declared performatively over the course of a symbolic pilgrimage, urges the view that humanity has an intrinsic need of grace in order to be itself. In portraying this outlook, Chaucer contributes to what has been called the "palaeo-Christian" understanding of creaturely freedom. Paradoxically, genuine freedom grows out of the dependency of all things upon God. In imaginatively inhabiting this view of reality, Chaucer aligns himself with that other great poet-theologian of the Middle Ages, Dante. Both are true Christian humanists. They recognize in art a fragile opportunity: not to reduce reality to a set of dogmatic propositions but to participate in an ever-deepening mystery. Chaucer effectively calls all would-be members of the pilgrim fellowship that is the church to behave as artists, interpretively responding to God in the finitude of their existence together.

Download or read book Intellectuals in the Society of Spectacle written by Christopher Britt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals the sense in which our postmodern societies are characterized by the obscene absence of the intellectual. The modern intellectual--who had once been associated with humanism and enlightenment—has in our day been replaced by media stars, talking heads, and technical experts. At issue is the ongoing crisis of democracy, under the aegis of the société du spectacle and its vast networks of politically-induced idiocy, industrially-produced biocide, and militarily-provoked genocide. Spectacle fills the resulting moral and intellectual vacuum with electronic technologies of control, punishment, and destruction. This postmodern tyranny reduces intelligence to mechanistic, positivist, and grammatological models of inquiry, while increasing the segmentation, fragmentation, and dissolution of human existence. The apotheosis of the spectacle explains the intellectual void that lies at the heart of our postmodern decadence; it also accounts for the need to recuperate the humanist values of enlightenment promoted by the modern intellectual tradition.

Download or read book The Causes of Tyranny as a Guide to Political Reform: St. Thomas More's HISTORY OF KING RICHARD III OF ENGLAND written by Carle T. Mock and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Thomas Moore, lord chancellor of England played an important role in Richard the III, King of England who ran a tyrannicall government. Thomas More lived as a poet, scholar, statesman, family man, educational reformer, philosopher, historian, and saint who wrote regarding humanism. Thomas More argues that tyranny can and should be opposed by all good men -- both by means of political reform and by education -- but that these efforts will not always be succesful, and that the lack of permanent solution to political problems is in fact a great gift of Divine Providence that gives meaning to human life by simultaneously allowing both freedom and the possibility of justice. In the conclusion of this dissertation, Carle T. Mock wrote that Thomas More skillfully guide readers to a mean between two inappropriate extremes. On the one hand this work opposes tyrany by vividly illustrating it evil and by rejecting the philosophical or spiritual complacency which would accept any ruler of any type of government, no matter how bad, as the will of God or the result of fate.

Download or read book Tyranny in Jacobean Roman Tragedies (1603--1611) written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation defends the theory that Jacobean Roman tyrant-tragedies are inherently anti-tyrannical and anti-absolutist. As such, they contest the absolutist discourses of James I, which claim that legitimate kings rule by divine right and cannot be deposed of as tyrants. What makes these tyrant-tragedies anti-absolutist is that they defend the humanist critique of tyranny, which distinguishes kings from tyrants on the basis of their ethical differences. In this respect, not only do these plays show the convergence of the Senecan critique of tyranny and humanism but also the conflict between James I's discourse of absolutism and humanism. To this end, I analyze four Roman tragedies, written between 1603 and 1611: the anonymous Tragedy of Tiberius, Shakespeare's Coriolanus, and Ben Jonson's Sejanus: His Fall and Catiline . I undertake a reading of these plays from the perspective of Neostoic Taciteanism and humanism to show how these plays contested James I's discourse of absolutism.

Download or read book The Crisis of the Early Italian Renaissance written by Hans Baron and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1966-03-21 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans Baron was one of the many great German émigré scholars whose work Princeton brought into the Anglo-American world. His Crisis of the Early Italian Renaissance has provoked more discussion and inspired more research than any other twentieth-century study of the Italian Renaissance. Baron's book was the first historical synthesis of politics and humanism at that momentous critical juncture when Italy passed from medievalism to the thought of the Renaissance. Baron, unlike his peers, married culture and politics; he contended that to truly understand the Renaissance one must understand the rise of humanism within the political context of the day. This marked a significant departure for the field and one that changed the direction of Renaissance studies. Moreover, Baron's book was one of the first major attempts of any sort to ground intellectual history in a fully realized historical context and thus stands at the very origins of the interdisciplinary approach that is now the core of Renaissance studies. Baron's analysis of the forces that changed life and thought in fifteenth-century Italy was widely reviewed domestically and internationally, and scholars quickly noted that the book "will henceforth be the starting point for any general discussion of the early Renaissance." The Times Literary Supplement called it "a model of the kind of intensive study on which all understanding of cultural process must rest." First published in 1955 in two volumes, the work was reissued in a one-volume Princeton edition in 1966.

Download or read book Tyranny Through Public Education - Revised Edition written by William F. Jr Cox and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the inherently flawed nature of America's public school system as currently structured. Contemporary recommendations for correcting the system invariably treat symptoms rather than the inherent problem of government control over parental and religious rights. The book documents that: education is a religious endeavor and that freedom of religion is guaranteed in the United States, parents have an inalienable right to raise their children free from government constraints on education, civil government is to protect and not deprive citizens of their inalienable rights, the educational history of our country affirms that education has always had a religious function, recent interpretations of the First and Fourteenth Amendments are both misguided and opposite from their original meanings, federal control of education and education taxation is outside the legitimate authority of the U.S. Constitution, and government control of education at federal, state, and local levels is inherently tyrannical. Addressed in separate chapters, the above-mentioned issues, individually and collectively, build a compelling case for the disestablishment of government control and the return of parental control to education. To quote James Madison, government should relate to education in the same way as it does to religion-not to "intermeddle" with it.
