When the tides shift in the war against the Rancor Order, the Slayers are put to the test as the first Strain emerges. Bellum—the bringer of war—returns to Van City, hunting for the Slayers. She wants a piece of the pie. The most trusted of the Slayers, Riam—of unknown origin—is faced with an adversary so great it is all-consuming. Riam, who has perfect control of every emotion he possesses, is overcome by one he doesn't feel he's worthy of—love. His formidable opponent? A woman held captive by the Genesys, Sasha Grant. Sasha isn't like any other woman he's met before. She is like him to the wicked core. In order to save her life, he must call on his people. Reaching out to those he'd shut the door on hundreds of years ago sends Riam into a head-on collision with the world that opened the door for The Genesys. Breaking all the rules, Riam lets out the wicked warrior locked deep within his soul and hunts for the woman he'd die for. The war has only just begun.

Download or read book Rousseau and Hobbes written by Robin Douglass and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin Douglass presents the first comprehensive study of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's engagement with Thomas Hobbes. Douglass reconstructs the intellectual context of this engagement to reveal the deeply polemical character of Rousseau's critique of Hobbes and to show how Rousseau sought to expose that much modern natural law and doux commerce theory was, despite its protestations to the contrary, indebted to a Hobbesian account of human nature and the origins of society. Throughout the book Douglass explores the reasons why Rousseau both followed and departed from Hobbes in different places, thereby supplying a nuanced account of the relationship between the two thinkers, which resists the temptation to present Rousseau as either a straightforwardly Hobbesian or anti-Hobbesian thinker. On the one hand, Douglass reveals the extent to which Rousseau was occupied with problems of a fundamentally Hobbesian nature and the importance, to both thinkers, of appealing to the citizens' passions in order to secure political unity. On the other hand, Douglass argues that certain ideas at the heart of Rousseau's philosophy--free will and the natural goodness of man--were set out to distance Rousseau from positions associated with Hobbes. Douglass advances an original interpretation of Rousseau's political philosophy, emerging from this encounter with Hobbesian ideas, which focuses on the interrelated themes of nature, free will, and the passions. Douglass distances his interpretation from those who have read Rousseau as a proto-Kantian and instead argues that Rousseau's vision of a well-ordered republic was based on cultivating man's naturally good passions to render the life of the virtuous citizen in accordance with nature.
Download or read book The Thought of Jonathan Edwards written by Miklos Veto and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Edwards is the greatest theologian of colonial America as well as its first important philosopher. As a theologian, he represents without any concession Calvinistic Orthodoxy, re-thought and re-lived through the experience of the Great Awakening. The large majority of his writings are of a theological character, yet this theology is articulated and expressed through a systematic philosophical reflection. Edwardsian thought covers three major areas: First, being, grace, and glory; then, the doctrine of the will extending to the study of the original sin and evil; finally, an entirely original theory of knowledge synthesizing spirituality, aesthetics, and epistemology. The present book, the first edition of which appeared in French almost thirty years ago, is a uniquely comprehensive study of the work of Jonathan Edwards. It discusses all the aspects of his thought over against the background of classical Protestant theology and of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Western philosophy. Our time witnesses a significant renewal of interest in Jonathan Edwards. Professor Veto’s book should prove to be a major contribution to assist and to guide the readers of “America’s Theologian.”

Their newest recruit must now decide between loyalty and love. In the darkest corners of Van City, a deadly war rages between the darkness and the irregulars. With humanity on their knees, there is one group standing between them and their complete destruction—the Slayers. And now, their newest recruit, Bane, a Therian, must choose between his duty and his love. Viciously loyal, ruthless and deadly, Bane has given everything to become a member of the Slayers. But when fate intervenes, he discovers his loyalty rests elsewhere. Trapped between his love for Jessamine and the fate of mankind, Bane must decide between the lives of his fellow Slayers and that of the woman he loves—Jessamine, a Hunter and sister to the Calyph of The Rancor Order. Will true love win out—or will fate throw him another curveball and take his life?

Download or read book Concepts of Nature written by R. J. Snell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If natural law arguments struggle to gain traction in contemporary moral and political discourse, could it be because we moderns do not share the understanding of nature on which that language was developed? Building on the work of important thinkers of the last half-century, including Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin, John Finnis, and Bernard Lonergan, the essays in Concepts of Nature compare and contrast classical, medieval, and modern conceptions of nature in order to better understand how and why the concept of nature no longer seems to provide a limit or standard for human action. These essays also evaluate whether a rearticulation of pre-modern ideas (or perhaps a reconciliation or reconstitution on modern terms) is desirable and/or possible. Edited by R. J. Snell and Steven F. McGuire, this book will be of interest to intellectual historians, political theorists, theologians, and philosophers.
Download or read book Rousseau Nature and the Problem of the Good Life written by Laurence D. Cooper and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of modern science created a crisis for Western moral and political philosophy, which had theretofore relied either on Christian theology or Aristotelian natural teleology as guarantors of an objective standard for &"the good life.&" This book examines Rousseau's effort to show how and why, despite this challenge from science (which he himself intensified by equating our subhuman origins with our natural state), nature can remain a standard for human behavior. While recognizing an original goodness in human being in the state of nature, Rousseau knew this to be too low a standard and promoted the idea of &"the natural man living in the state of society,&" notably in Emile. Laurence Cooper shows how, for Rousseau, conscience&—understood as the &"love of order&"&—functions as the agent whereby simple savage sentiment is sublimated into a more refined &"civilized naturalness&" to which all people can aspire.

The relentless manhunt can only end in a chilling confrontation with the essence of pure psychological evil. Active until the rhyme ends and with no time to spare, the team is pulled down a strange, twisted path of smoke and mirrors, where anyone could be next and the victims can be as guilty as the killer.
