Download or read book The Heavenly Contract written by David Zaret and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1985-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of a heavenly contract, uniting God and humanity in a bargain of salvation, emerged as the keystone of Puritan theology in early modern England. Yet this concept, with its connotations of exchange and reciprocity, runs counter to other tenets of Calvinism, such as predestination, that were also central to Puritan thought. With bold analytic intelligence, David Zaret explores this puzzling conflict between covenant theology and pure Calvinism. In the process he demonstrates that popular beliefs and activities had tremendous influence on Puritan religion.

Book excerpt: The Heavenly Twins (1893) is a novel by Sarah Grand. Written the same year Grand moved to London, divorced her husband, and created a new identity for herself, The Heavenly Twins explores the feminist ideal of the New Woman. As a pioneering feminist whose marriage ended in bitter disappointment, Grand sought to address the frustrations of women whose every move in life was measured against the expectations of a patriarchal society. In her novel, she explores gender dysphoria, sexually transmitted diseases, and contraception as aspects of a wider feminine experience largely ignored in much of English literature. To be a young woman in Victorian England, one grows accustomed to the indignities of daily life. Despite this, Evadne, Angelica, and Edith do their best to live happily while keeping their families satisfied. Evadne struggles to match the realities of married life with the expectations of traditional society. Meanwhile, Edith enters a relationship with a man who seems well-intentioned but harbors a dangerous secret. Angelica, their friend, bristles against the strictures of womanhood. With the help of her twin brother Diavolo, she explores the freedoms afforded young men for nothing more than the gender they were assigned at birth. Dissatisfied with her life, she begins dressing as a man and uses her new identity to expand her social and romantic opportunities. As their lives take tragic and disappointing turns, they begin to understand how so many women end up trapped by marriage and motherhood, unable to pursue their dreams. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Sarah Grand’s The Heavenly Twins is a classic work of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book Wayward Contracts written by Victoria Kahn and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did the language of contract become the dominant metaphor for the relationship between subject and sovereign in mid-seventeenth-century England? In Wayward Contracts, Victoria Kahn takes issue with the usual explanation for the emergence of contract theory in terms of the origins of liberalism, with its notions of autonomy, liberty, and equality before the law. Drawing on literature as well as political theory, state trials as well as religious debates, Kahn argues that the sudden prominence of contract theory was part of the linguistic turn of early modern culture, when government was imagined in terms of the poetic power to bring new artifacts into existence. But this new power also brought in its wake a tremendous anxiety about the contingency of obligation and the instability of the passions that induce individuals to consent to a sovereign power. In this wide-ranging analysis of the cultural significance of contract theory, the lover and the slave, the tyrant and the regicide, the fool and the liar emerge as some of the central, if wayward, protagonists of the new theory of political obligation. The result is must reading for students and scholars of early modern literature and early modern political theory, as well as historians of political thought and of liberalism.

Download or read book Philosophy of Heaven written by Mazhar Merhebi and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy of Heaven is a creative writing of subconscious fact in higher states of consciousness, through which Merhebi presents his redefinition of the philosophy of feeling and understanding of the universe. This is an ideal gift to the one who has everything and a treasure to the one who has nothing. In over one hundred chapters, he shares a very important world and entertains our minds and souls. Merhebi emerges as a thinker, feeler, doodler, humorist, lover, and soul handler, and above all, he provokes your mind. He expresses his feelings and ideas in a variety of ways poetically, theoretically, and mathematically but always challenges the readers feelings and beliefs on politics, religion, philosophy, personal self-sufficiency, trade, love, discrimination, parenthood, domination, relationships, time and space, and the structure of the universe. His self-professed aim for this book is to generate a theory of the geometric forms of the invisible commonsense logic as nothing to be truth. He proposes that as humans of the day, we believe in what is beyond our knowledge capacity and we function by need. He sees the challenge as one of bringing what we feel in line with what we know, harmoniously accommodating our conscious knowledge with the needs of our subconscious feelings.
