These essays bring together ideas and modes of expression from Vico, Hegel, Cassirer, and James Joyce. This work approaches philosophy as a form of literature and approaches literature as containing insights and images that supply a basis for philosophical thought. Philosophy and literature are both products of the rational imagination. The rational imagination provides a guide to the conception of the good society. By looking back at Plato's Laws, it is possible to conceive society as based on friendship rather than ideology.

Има термини, които често използваме, но не можем да обясним точно и ясно какво влагаме в тях. Един от тях е монада. Затова известният теософ Ледбитър в поредица есета запознава своите ученици и всички търсещи със същността и проявленията на монадата. Монадата е Божествената искра, частица от Бог, атом на Божественото, който живее във всеки човек, докато той пребивава в материалния свят. Всъщност, монадата е истинският човек! И независимо, че изглежда временно откъсната от Бог, докато е затворена в материалните обвивки, в действителност тя нито за миг не се отделя и не може да бъде отделена от Бог, защото самата материя, в ... |

He dissected the idea of nationalism and he examined the failings of the Left. What emerges from his acute observation of English rituals, habits and attitudes is his belief that these are the very things with which the English ... |
