Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy is too great and too terrible when encountered directly for men of normal sanity to be able to contemplate it comfortably. Only those who cannot care for the consequences run the risk of the direct confrontation of the Holy. This book is a study of six men who ran this risk. Balancing the negative and positive points of view throughout these six essays, Jaroslav Pelikan has written a brilliant examination of the three questions: the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. With Kierkegaard and Paul, Dr. Pelikan looks into the relationship between the True and the Holy. With Dostoevsky and Luther, it is the Good and the Holy and with Nietzche and Bach, it is the Beautiful and the Holy. In the first two he draws on the whole history of Western thought. In the second two, he looks into the background of Christian morality, and in the last two, he reaches all the way back to the Greeks in his penetrating study of Western aesthetics. Philosophy, theology, ethics, and aesthetics - they are all here. Beyond them all, Dr. Pelikan shows how the Holy cannot be captured and held by any of them, although the attempt is frequently made. Rather the Holy must remain unqualified, transfiguring within itself the experience of the True, the Good, or the Beautiful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Quest of the Beautiful What is the purpose of your life? Has it a purpose? Or, again, have you created a purpose for it? Perhaps you have reached the goal of your desire, and found it as empty as all the illusions of Ecclesiastes! Or, perhaps, you have rested in your poverty, with the illusions of riches yet to come. Or, again, in a fit of despair, you have said that there is no purpose to your life. Whatever your conclusions, who am I to judge you, or anyone else? Let me stand in the shadow of Flaubert, and let him speak: "The sight of a man daring to judge his neighbour would send me into convulsions of laughter, if it did not arouse my disgust and pity." With the Confucian doctrine of "fraternal deference " we will each go our own way - or ways. Astrologers state that, when a human being is born, a chord is struck through heaven and earth. As far as I can discover, they do not explain, or define, the phenomenon attending the birth of consciousness. I do not blame them for this or any other omission. They will not want to burn me, or ostracise me, for this difference of opinion with them. They will not look on me as a lost soul if I actively oppose them. The birth of consciousness is nothing to those who are only capable of seeing with the eye instead of through it. In the middle of the journey of our life I came to Myself in a dark wood, where the straight way was lost. If I have lost the straight way at the zenith of my life, I have the memory of it. With the birth of consciousness, about the age of five, I had a glimpse of the Beautiful; and in many protean shapes I have seen it since, and, if my body has been over many crooked paths, consciousness and its proximity to the Beautiful have traced a straight road in my lonely quest. There are compensations for the responsibility of living; there are quiet consolations which are our very own property; and both may be claimed, if life is regarded as a gift held for a little space in eternity. There may he aims more noble, more lofty, and even more clearly defined than that of my quest. An individual may dedicate his life to the service of others in science, or, like the giants of history, in leading an unpopular cause, that, a hundred years later, is quietly absorbed and taken for granted by society with scarce a "thank you."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beautiful Lady To be the day's sensation of the boulevards one must possess an eccen tricity of appearance conceived by nothing short of genius; and my mis fortunes had reduced me to present such to all eyes seeking mirth. It was not that I was one of those people in uniform who carry placards and strange figures upon their backs, nor that my coat was of rags; on the contrary, my whole costume was delicately rich and well chosen, of soft grey and fine linen (such as you see worn by a marquis in the pésage at Auteuil) according well with my usual air and countenance, sometimes esteemed to resemble my father's, which were not wanting in distinction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beautiful But I have been obliged to speak in terms intelligible to the lay reader, and I am fully aware that these terms correspond only very approximately to what is, or at present passes as, psychological fact. I would therefore beg the psychologist (to whom I offer this little volume as a possible slight addition even to his stock of facts and hypotheses) to under stand that in speaking, for instance, of Empathy as involving a thought of certain activities, I mean merely that whatever happens has the same result as if we thought; and that the processes, whatever they may be (also in the case of measuring, com paring and co-ordinating), translate themselves, when they are detected, into thoughts but that I do not in the least pre-judgethe question whether the processes, the thoughts, the measuring, com paringetc. Exist on subordinate planes of conscious ness or whether they are mainly physiological and only occasionally abutting in conscious resultants. Similarly, lack of space and the need for clearness have obliged me to write as if shape-preference ih variably necessitated the detailed process of ocular perception, instead of being due, as is doubtless most often the case, to every kind of associative abbreviation and equivalence of processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beautiful Book for Little Children "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," says the poet; and so we cannot too soon begin to teach the child to recognize and love the beautiful. We here give him the beautiful in art, and the beautiful in thought; and, if he has not yet learned to read, the parent or teacher will here find the means of teaching him with ease and speed. The method is plain and natural, like that of teaching a child to speak. Point to the words of a line in their order, and see that he gives his attention to their form, size, and sound. Repeat this patiently, and for a short time every day; and you will soon be surprised at his progress. Do not trouble yourself, as yet, about the alphabet, or the analysis of syllables; and let the little pupil himself choose the piece that you are to drill him on.

While from trench and wall The war cry drives the tide of death along, And men are tossing on this troubled sea Of blood; while women wail and orphans shriek, And famine mocks, and the reality Has stripped the pageantry from war, there speaks A voice familiar, higher than the storm, Whose sweetness faileth not in every hour To calm the troubled waters of alarm, By the sweet magic of its wondrous power, - The seraph's voice, that rules the Beautiful, Whose inspiration, in diverse degree, Thrills all her children meek and dutiful, Thrilleth the highest, thrilleth you and me. To-night we come, as they were wont of old, Whose songs resounding stirred the blue AEgean, To add one humble tribute, not of gold, Or incense, or the sanguinary paean; Content are we to pluck the lowliest flower, To deck her altar for the passing hour.
