Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual Authority and Temporal Power is an analysis of cyclical manifestation, and more specifically of the relationship between royal and sacerdotal power. In accord with the Hindu doctrine of manvantaras and Plato's depiction of historical degeneration in the Republic, Guénon views history here as a series of 'revolts' of lower castes against the higher. The kshatriyas (warriors) revolt against the brahmins (priests), thus setting the stage for a revolt of the vaishyas (loosely, the bourgeoisie), as in the French revolution-and, finally, the shudras (the proletariat), as in the Russian revolution (which Guénon does not touch upon in this work). From one point of view, this is a progressive degeneration; from another it is entirely lawful, given the 'entropic' nature of manifestation itself. External, historical descent reflects an inner degeneration: knowledge (the celestial paradise) is eclipsed by heroic action (the terrestrial paradise), which is in turn overrun by the inertia and agitation of the passions. Yet the nadir of degeneration is also the point of renewal: the dawning of the Heavenly Jerusalem-spiritual Knowledge-which begins a new cycle of manifestation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie Corelli's novel, 'Temporal Power: A Study in Supremacy', challenges the idea that man's ultimate goal should be to conquer nature. Through a conversation between two men, one a monarch and the other a gardener, the novel explores the limitations of human power and the masks we wear to attain it. As they sit in a Royal palace facing the sea, surrounded by the sweet fragrance of narcissi and the sparkle of yachts, the two men reflect on the futility of human civilization, laws, and customs that are all doomed to destruction and oblivion. With powerful prose and insight, Corelli's novel delves into the human condition and the quest for power, leaving readers with a haunting message about the true cost of supremacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deals with the normal relationship between the spiritual and the temporal powers implied in a healthy traditional civilization, that is, the supremacy of knowledge over action, of the sacerdotal over the royal caste. Touching first on India and the medieval West, Guenon then illustrates his point by citing quarrels over investiture and disputes of certain French kingswith the papacy as evidence of a deviation in Christianity.

Download or read book Power and Time written by Dan Edelstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is the backdrop of historical inquiry, yet it is much more than a featureless setting for events. Different temporalities interact dynamically; sometimes they coexist tensely, sometimes they clash violently. In this innovative volume, editors Dan Edelstein, Stefanos Geroulanos, and Natasha Wheatley challenge how we interpret history by focusing on the nexus of two concepts—“power” and “time”—as they manifest in a wide variety of case studies. Analyzing history, culture, politics, technology, law, art, and science, this engaging book shows how power is constituted through the shaping of temporal regimes in historically specific ways. Power and Time includes seventeen essays on human rights; sovereignty; Islamic, European, Chinese, and Indian history; slavery; capitalism; revolution; the Supreme Court; the Anthropocene; and even the Manson Family. Power and Time will be an agenda-setting volume, highlighting the work of some of the world’s most respected and original contemporary historians and posing fundamental questions for the craft of history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Temporal Power: A Study in Supremacy C'est mon metier d'etre Roi! SO said one Of the many dead and gone martyrs on the rack Of sovereignty. Alas, poor soul, thou would'st have been happier in any other metier I warrant! For kingship is a profession which cannot be abandoned for a change Of humour, or cast aside in light indifference and independence because a man is bored by it and would have something new. It is a routine and drudgery to which some few are born, for which they are prepared, to which they must devote their span Of life, and in Which they must die. How shall we pass the day? Asked a weary Roman emperor, I am even tired of killing my enemies! Even that! And the strangest part Of it is, that there are people who would give all their freedom and peace Of mind to occupy for a few years an uneasy throne, and who actually live under the delusion that a monarch is happy!
