Hermetic America-Our Critical Heritage: Abraham Lincoln features two presentations on Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865; 16th U.S. President) delivered by Roger A. Weir in 1985. They are excerpted from a 13-part series entitled, Hermetic America-Our Critical Heritage: James Fenimore Cooper, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Adams. Weir explores many rarely discussed facets of Abraham Lincoln's formative experiences and development, culminating in his arduous battle among fellow Americans to save what he believed to be a vision of a greater union of humanity. This book is an opportunity to appreciate the story of Lincoln's life, his personal wisdom, and to gain a greater sense of how we might also be able to rise to the challenges of our times as he did. To be a Hermetic American is to recognize the desires, needs and aspirations of our fellow Americans while keeping in focus a greater vision of liberty to which we can all aspire. Roger A. Weir (1940-2018) - scholar and lifelong educator - devoted his life to educating people about history, philosophy, myth, symbols, art, and science. Over the course of 50+ years, he developed and refined a 2-year educational cycle which explored the complementary relationship between natural human development and the development of art and science. The Shared Presence Foundation, founded in 2011, is driven to preserve and publicly disseminate Weir's teachings and coursework. The Foundation has compiled, documented and made his voluminous works available at https://sharedpresencefoundation.org

Jane Austen S Textual Lives written by Kathryn Sutherland and has been published by OUP Oxford this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2005-10-06 with Literary Criticism categories.

Through three intertwined histories Jane Austen's Textual Lives offers a new way of approaching and reading a very familiar author. One is a history of the transmission and transformation of Jane Austen through manuscripts, critical editions, biographies, and adaptations; a second provides a conspectus of the development of English Studies as a discipline in which the original and primary place of textual criticism is recovered; and a third reviews the role of Oxford University Press in shaping a canon of English texts in the twentieth century. Jane Austen can be discovered in all three. Since her rise to celebrity status at the end of the nineteenth century, Jane Austen has occupied a position within English-speaking culture that is both popular and canonical, accessible and complexly inaccessible, fixed and certain yet wonderfully amenable to shifts of sensibility and cultural assumptions. The implied contradiction was represented in the early twentieth century by, on the one hand, the Austen family's continued management, censorship, and sentimental marketing of the sweet lady novelist of the Hampshire countryside; and on the other, by R. W. Chapman's 1923 Clarendon Press edition of the Novels of Jane Austen, which subjected her texts to the kind of scholarly probing reserved till then for classical Greek and Roman authors obscured by centuries of attrition. It was to be almost fifty years before the Clarendon Press considered it necessary to recalibrate the reputation of another popular English novelist in this way. Beginning with specific encounters with three kinds of textual work and the problems, clues, or challenges to interpretation they continue to present, Kathryn Sutherland goes on to consider the absence of a satisfactory critical theory of biography that can help us address the partial life, and ends with a discussion of the screen adaptations through which the texts continue to live on. Throughout, Jane Austen's textual identities provide a means to explore the wider issue of what text is and to argue the importance of understanding textual space as itself a powerful agent established only by recourse to further interpretations and fictions.

Foundations Of American Constitutionalism written by David A. J. Richards and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1989-12-14 with Philosophy categories.

In writing the constitution, the Founders combined a Lockean theory of politically legitimate power with the political science they had learned from Machiavelli, Harrington, Hume, and Montesquieu to articulate a new conception of constitutional argument. Examining the Founders' humanist analytical methods and working assumptions, this book combines history, political philosophy, and interpretive practice as it demonstrates an alternative exegesis of the Constitution. It clarifies a wide range of interpretive issues of federalism, enumerated rights (religious liberty and free speech), unenumerated rights (the constitutional right to privacy), and equal protection.
