Book excerpt: During the time of Mille 19 S.F., humanity's war-torn population is scarce, and underprivileged children are given to the military to be raised as soldiers. Bio-Tech Military Corporation elite fighters, Aria and Troy, are sent to investigate a base devastated by alien attack. Growing up in constant battle, they quickly discover fighting against humans is one thing; fighting against monsters is a whole different challenge. Are these creatures actually what they appear to be? Where did they come from, and what do they want? While searching for answers, Aria and Troy's home base is destroyed by a mysterious man named Euclid. Their pursuit for answers leads to the foreign land of Ives, home of an extinct, angelic race.

Immediately, there is an unexplainable connection between Ivory and Dovian, and as the attacks increase, Aria and Troy, for the first time in their lives, fear evil and the death that surrounds it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Second Fall, the Sorcēarians brought hope and peace to the people of Earth. Though initially welcomed with open arms, the angelic race eventually received nothing but scorn as humanity was jealous of their perfect civilization. Intense warfare consumed the lands, and as hostilities worsened, the Gaius lineage awaited the arrival of the Arbitrator—the one prophesied to bring final judgment upon Earth. As the centuries passed with no sign of the Arbitrator, the Gaius family feared for the future of humankind. Dovian, though born small and weak, had grown into a powerful warrior and was teamed alongside his equally skilled friends to mediate in human wars. However, as darkness plagued the later generations of the Sorcēarians, Dovian found that the worst enemies weren’t met on the battlefield but were those closest to him. As corruption spread through Ives, threatening war on their doorstep, he also discovered that the most brutal battles are sometimes within oneself. Follow the critical moments of Dovian’s life leading to the destruction of his civilization in this prequel to the Esoteric Design series.

Book excerpt: The date of 0 S.F. marks the beginning of the Sorcearian settlement on Earth. Sir Gaius, who headed the mission, created the land of Ives to house his people. Though originally welcomed with open arms, as time passed, the angelic race met nothing but scorn from those they shared the planet with. While the initial mission of the Sorcearians was to guide humanity into a world of peace, eventually everyone was pulled into a series of intense wars. As hostilities worsened, the Gaius lineage awaited the arrival of the Arbitrator, the one who was prophesied to bring final judgment upon Earth.

Download or read book Aesthetics of Religion written by Alexandra K. Grieser and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first English language presentation of the innovative approaches developed in the aesthetics of religion. The chapters present diverse material and detailed analysis on descriptive, methodological and theoretical concepts that together explore the potential of an aesthetic approach for investigating religion as a sensory and mediated practice. In dialogue with, yet different from, other major movements in the field (material culture, anthropology of the senses, for instance), it is the specific intent of this approach to create a framework for understanding the interplay between sensory, cognitive and socio-cultural aspects of world-construction. The volume demonstrates that aesthetics, as a theory of sensory knowledge, offers an elaborate repertoire of concepts that can help to understand religious traditions. These approaches take into account contemporary developments in scientific theories of perception, neuro-aesthetics and cultural studies, highlighting the socio-cultural and political context informing how humans perceive themselves and the world around them. Developing since the 1990s, the aesthetic approach has responded to debates in the study of religion, in particular striving to overcome biased categories that confined religion either to texts and abstract beliefs, or to an indisputable sui generis mode of experience. This volume documents what has been achieved to date, its significance for the study of religion and for interdisciplinary scholarship.

Download or read book Philosophy Between the Lines written by Arthur M. Melzer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Shines a floodlight on a topic that has been cloaked in obscurity . . . a landmark work in both intellectual history and political theory” (The Wall Street Journal). Philosophical esotericism—the practice of communicating one’s unorthodox thoughts “between the lines”—was a common practice until the end of the eighteenth century. Despite its long and well-documented history, however, esotericism is often dismissed today as a rare occurrence. But by ignoring esotericism, we risk cutting ourselves off from a full understanding of Western philosophical thought. Walking readers through both an ancient (Plato) and a modern (Machiavelli) esoteric work, Arthur M. Melzer explains what esotericism is—and is not. It relies not on secret codes, but simply on a more intensive use of familiar rhetorical techniques like metaphor, irony, and insinuation. Melzer explores the various motives that led thinkers in different times and places to engage in this strange practice, while also exploring the motives that lead more recent thinkers not only to dislike and avoid this practice but to deny its very existence. In the book’s final section, “A Beginner’s Guide to Esoteric Reading,” Melzer turns to how we might once again cultivate the long-forgotten art of reading esoteric works. The first comprehensive, book-length study of the history and theoretical basis of philosophical esotericism, Philosophy Between the Lines is “a treasure-house of insight and learning. It is that rare thing: an eye-opening book . . . By making the world before Enlightenment appear as strange as it truly was, [Melzer] makes our world stranger than we think it is” (George Kateb, Professor of Politics, Emeritus, at Princeton University). “Brilliant, pellucid, and meticulously researched.” —City Journal
Download or read book Le Corbusier and the Occult written by Jan Birksted and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Le Corbusier grew up in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, a city described by Karl Marx as "one unified watchmaking industry." Among the unifying social structures of La Chaux-de-Fonds was the Loge L'Amitié, the Masonic lodge with its francophone moral, social, and philosophical ideas, including the symbolic iconography of the right angle (rectitude) and the compass (exactitude). Le Corbusier would later describe these as "my guide, my choice" and as his "time-honored ideas, ingrained and deep-rooted in the intellect, like entries from a catechism." Through exhaustive research that challenges long-held beliefs, J.K. Birksted's Le Corbusier and the Occult traces the structure of Le Corbusier's brand of modernist spatial and architectural ideas based on startling new documents in hitherto undiscovered family and local archives."--Publisher.
