Download or read book Are You Alone Wise written by Susan Schreiner and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of certitude is much debated today. On one side, commentators such as Charles Krauthammer urge us to achieve "moral clarity." On the other, those like George Will contend that the greatest present threat to civilization is an excess of certitude. To address this uncomfortable debate, Susan Schreiner turns to the intellectuals of early modern Europe, a period when thought was still fluid and had not yet been reified into the form of rationality demanded by the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.Schreiner argues that Europe in the sixteenth century was preoccupied with concerns similar to ours; both the desire for certainty -- especially religious certainty -- and warnings against certainty permeated the earlier era. Digging beneath overt theological and philosophical problems, she tackles the underlying fears of the period as she addresses questions of salvation, authority, the rise of skepticism, the outbreak of religious violence, the discernment of spirits, and the ambiguous relationship between appearance and reality.In her examination of the history of theological polemics and debates (as well as other genres), Schreiner sheds light on the repeated evaluation of certainty and the recurring fear of deception. Among the texts she draws on are Montaigne's Essays, the mystical writings of Teresa of Avila, the works of Reformation fathers William of Occam, Luther, Thomas Muntzer, and Thomas More; and the dramas of Shakespeare. The result is not a book about theology, but rather about the way in which the concern with certitude determined the theology, polemics and literature of an age.

Download or read book Perchance to Dream written by Charles Beaumont and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone reboot arriving, read the stories that inspired some of the show's greatest episodes, including "The Howling Man"! The profoundly original and wildly entertaining short stories of a legendary Twilight Zone writer, with a foreword by Ray Bradbury and an afterword by William Shatner It is only natural that Charles Beaumont would make a name for himself crafting scripts for The Twilight Zone—for his was an imagination so limitless it must have emerged from some other dimension. Perchance to Dream contains a selection of Beaumont’s finest stories, including seven that he later adapted for Twilight Zone episodes. Beaumont dreamed up fantasies so vast and varied they burst through the walls of whatever box might contain them. Supernatural, horror, noir, science fiction, fantasy, pulp, and more: all were equally at home in his wondrous mind. These are stories where lions stalk the plains, classic cars rove the streets, and spacecraft hover just overhead. Here roam musicians, magicians, vampires, monsters, toreros, extraterrestrials, androids, and perhaps even the Devil himself. With dizzying feats of master storytelling and joyously eccentric humor, Beaumont transformed his nightmares and reveries into impeccably crafted stories that leave themselves indelibly stamped upon the walls of the mind. In Beaumont’s hands, nothing is impossible: it all seems plausible, even likely. "[Beaumont’s] imagination, as Perchance to Dream amply shows, was more than most writers enjoy in the longest of lifetimes." -NPR For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrator wakes up in a hospital. Someone has tried to murder him, and he wonders who and for what reason. As he searches his mind, his thoughts are interspersed with hallucinations and imagined discussions with the ghosts of Frans Masereel, Rembrandt van Rijn and Edvard Munch. Gradually the narrator realises how little he really knows about his friends. At one stage he suspects that his friendship with a Swiss aviation-electronics expert may have led Arabs to believe that he has contacts with the Israeli secret services. Later he suspects a Zürich banker who may believe that he knew things he wanted to keep secret. After this he suspects that a third friend, with contacts in the Arab Emirates and Malaysia, has brought the wrath of the Al-Qaeda network upon him. After a second attempt on his life in the hospital, he begins to suspect that a trip with his friend to the firm in Almelo, where Abdul Qadeer Khan started his career of providing Pakistan, Lybia, Iran and North Korea with nuclear know-how and technology, may have been the likely cause of his predicament.
