Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liberty and Life Discourses Evolution has brought us to face such new views of life, and of our responsibility as the finality of the animal kingdom, and inheritors of an eternal evolution of organic and functional power, that we must recast our views of sin altogether. Henceforth, if I do not mistake the drift, sin will be held to be not a personal affront to a Creator, but a course of action that degrades ourselves in either body or mind, and that tends to degeneration. We are placed in charge of ourselves by the fact of self-consciousness; and the sum of all duty is so to use ourselves as to be in every function honest, wholesome and regenerative. Liberty is not a power to act as we choose, but to live in fullest accord with Him "in whom we live and move and have our being." This book is offered cordially to those who desire only that liberty which broadens and intensifies existence. It is in some sense supplementary to my book "Our Heredity from God;" and I am confident that readers of that volume will not misunderstand me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freedom and Liberty In July 1916 I published an essay under the title of 'Freedom'. Its aim was purely ethical; that is, to show that, for the purposes of human evolution, each of the two opposites, law, or organic control, and liberty, or life, was of equal importance: that there can be no continued growth of the race as a whole without an equal growth of each of these conflicting principles. Beyond this conclusion I was unable to go. I recognized that as a system my philosophy was incomplete. It failed to provide the single final end without which the deduction of ethical values is impossible. But, at the time, I had little hope of carrying the inquiry further, and I published the results, as far as they went, in a cheap form, to preserve them from oblivion. In my previous writings I had indicated that the universal final end of ethics must be found in religion, and there only.

Download or read book For Liberty and Equality written by Alexander Tsesis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Declaration of Independence is one of the most influential documents in modern history-the inspiration for what would become the most powerful democracy in the world. Indeed, at every stage of American history, the Declaration has been a touchstone for evaluating the legitimacy of legal, social, and political practices. Not only have civil rights activists drawn inspiration from its proclamation of inalienable rights, but individuals decrying a wide variety of governmental abuses have turned for support to the document's enumeration of British tyranny. In this sweeping synthesis of the Declaration's impact on American life, ranging from 1776 to the present, Alexander Tsesis offers a deeply researched narrative that highlights the many surprising ways in which this document has influenced American politics, law, and society. The drafting of the Bill of Rights, the Reconstruction Amendments, the New Deal, the Civil Rights movement-all are heavily indebted to the Declaration's principles of representative government. Tsesis demonstrates that from the founding on, the Declaration has played a central role in American political and social advocacy, congressional debates, and presidential decisions. He focuses on how successive generations internalized, adapted, and interpreted its meaning, but he also shines a light on the many American failures to live up to the ideals enshrined in the document. Based on extensive research from primary sources such as newspapers, diaries, letters, transcripts of speeches, and congressional records, For Liberty and Equality shows how our founding document shaped America through successive eras and why its influence has always been crucial to the nation and our way of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Value of the Intellectual Life: A Discourse The purpose of my discourse this morning is to interpret to you the legend of the stained glass window which has been placed in the north front of this church, in loving memory of John H. Smyth, and to draw from it the permanent lessons of truth and beauty which it seeks to convey to our souls. It is proper that I begin with some account of the man whom this beautiful work of Christian art commemorates. John H. Smyth was horn in 1830 in Dublin, Ireland, lie came of energetic and sturdy Scotch-Irish stock. In his infancy his parents emigrated to the New World. His education was gained in Quebec, and later at the Jesuit College in Montreal, where lie graduated as a student of the law. He shortly after removed to Milwaukee, where he was admitted to the bar. The talented young lawyer, full of energy and ambition, longed for a larger field for the development of his powers. Accordingly, in 1862 he came to San Francisco.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Counsel and Encouragement: Discourses on the Conduct of Life Editors have not felt at liberty to make the changes which he, probably, would have made in revising them for the press. This fact will account for the repetition of some words, and for some expressions, which it will be seen were used in his familiar talk with his people without any thought of their being given to the public generally. Yet, on this account, the volume may be none the less acceptable to his friends, and perhaps the discourses, just as he delivered them, will the better represent the man in his familiar and affectionate inter course with his people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks of Liberty: The Growth of American Political Ideals as Recorded in Speeches From Otis to Hughes The editors of this book have tried to gather in a single volume as many as possible of the great speeches that have had an important influence on the growth of American political ideals. Had the limits of their volume permitted, they would have begun with Crom well and would have traced the growth of our institu tions from their English sources. As it is they have begun with the first evidence of alienation from the Mother Country and have followed the story to the close of the Great War. Speeches of much historical importance, such as those that discussed the adoption of the Constitution, have necessarily been omitted. The speeches here included, however, it is believed constitute a series sufficiently complete to give stu dents a more intimate knowledge of our national life and a new appreciation of the sacrifice and labor that produced the American political fabric.

Download or read book Our Dear Bought Liberty written by Michael D. Breidenbach and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How early American Catholics justified secularism and overcame suspicions of disloyalty, transforming ideas of religious liberty in the process. In colonial America, Catholics were presumed dangerous until proven loyal. Yet Catholics went on to sign the Declaration of Independence and helped to finalize the First Amendment to the Constitution. What explains this remarkable transformation? Michael Breidenbach shows how Catholic leaders emphasized their churchÕs own traditionsÑrather than Enlightenment liberalismÑto secure the religious liberty that enabled their incorporation in American life. Catholics responded to charges of disloyalty by denying papal infallibility and the popeÕs authority to intervene in civil affairs. Rome staunchly rejected such dissent, but reform-minded Catholics justified their stance by looking to conciliarism, an intellectual tradition rooted in medieval Catholic thought yet compatible with a republican view of temporal independence and church-state separation. Drawing on new archival material, Breidenbach finds that early American Catholic leaders, including Maryland founder Cecil Calvert and members of the prominent Carroll family, relied on the conciliarist tradition to help institute religious toleration, including the Maryland Toleration Act of 1649. The critical role of Catholics in establishing American churchÐstate separation enjoins us to revise not only our sense of who the American founders were, but also our understanding of the sources of secularism. ChurchÐstate separation in America, generally understood as the product of a Protestant-driven Enlightenment, was in key respects derived from Catholic thinking. Our Dear-Bought Liberty therefore offers a dramatic departure from received wisdom, suggesting that religious liberty in America was not bestowed by liberal consensus but partly defined through the ingenuity of a persecuted minority.

Life is a great usurer. It watches most scrupulously the accounts of its depos1tors. It will allow no overdrafts, unless repaid most amply by compounded interests on the advances. Woe to him who has fallen into the hands of this most grasping of all creditors! Life stands upon the bond, it is inexorable. Now every stroke of the hammer on the anvil, every line of the pen, every thought flowering in the mind is paid for in the currency of blood. Blood nurtures the muscles, feeds the brain and builds the nerves. It is the balance that' must always be to our credit on the ledger of life; for every outlay not replaced by a fresh deposit will visit dire consequences on him that is neglectful. And life now is still more grasping and exhausting than ever it was before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
