A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757) is a philosophical treatise published in pamphlet form by Irish statesman and thinker Edmund Burke. Following in the footsteps of generations of philosophers, especially Aristotle and Hume, Burke sought to describe the inherent difference between beauty and sublimity as emotional responses rooted in human perception. His work was incredibly influential for the growth of Romanticism in Europe and Britain especially, which sought to capture the sublime in both visual art, music, and literature.Burke begins with a section on the senses in relation to human individuality and society in order to illuminate the collective nature of passions¿for which we may read emotions¿and to argue that the power of the arts is to shape and effect those emotions. In the second part, Burke observes the passions caused by the sublime, including terror, as well as records the effects of certain sensory perceptions¿of sound, light, color, and smell¿on creating sublime feelings in the mind. Part three follows the same trajectory but describes the beautiful instead before ultimately comparing the two, and part four attempts to ascertain their causes in nature. Burke concludes his treatise with a brief section on the sublime and beautiful in poetry, laying the groundwork for Romanticism¿s use of language, among other things, to purposefully invoke feeling in the reader or observer.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Edmund Burke¿s A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful is a classic of philosophy reimagined for modern readers.

Falling in Love (1889) is a brilliant collection of essays by innovative Canadian writer Grant Allen. His wide-ranging interests and unique, personal tone present science in a style that not only makes difficult concepts digestible to the average reader, but also presages the popularity of New Journalism in the latter half of the twentieth century.In the title essay, Allen moves from analysis of the evolutionary implications of love to a blistering critique of the institution of marriage. Central to this piece is a rejection of matchmaking according to religion, race, and rank, which Allen makes with the hope that "marriage for love...will last for ever."Allen was a writer unafraid of ruffling feathers, a tireless individual who delighted in dissecting and ejecting convention. In "British and Foreign," Allen looks at the non-indigenous nature of so much of Britain's environment to argue that, in the end, "there is nothing really and truly British." Allen was also, perhaps more than anything else, a deeply curious man, a person for whom no topic was unworthy of questioning. In "Honey-Dew," as though under a microscope, he examines the remarkable coexistence between ants and aphids to not only highlight the intricate webs that make up the natural world, but to expose humanity's outsized, and often helpless, role in the life of the planet. Other essays in Falling in Love find Allen espousing on the nonexistence of thunderbolts, composing a treatise on the sociopolitical history of the banana, and saying what he would have said on an archaeological expedition (had he been asked). For Allen, humor is never too far from insight, and insight is always within reach.Falling in Love is both a pleasure to read and intoxicating, a work for readers intrigued by science or looking for a fresh voice to cut through the world's confusion. Grant Allen was not just a novelist and essayist, but a writer's writer whose words read as clearly as though they were written yesterday.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this new edition of Grant Allen's Falling in Love is an understated classic of literary nonfiction reimagined for modern readers.

Similar to Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle explores another facet of good living by outlining the best governing practices that benefit the majority, and not the minority. In The Politics, he defines various institutions and how they should operate within an established system. The Politics provides an analysis of contemporary government as it relates to all people. Aristotle discusses the positive and negative qualities of authority and how they affect civilian life. In eight books, he details the tenets of the political community, including justice, the economy and household management. He recounts the actions of previous administrations, highlighting the differences between a democracy and oligarchy. He also examines the purpose of constitutions and how they can better serve the state.By studying the past, politicians can navigate and overcome challenges that toppled previous regimes. The Politics contains a strategic framework that can be used in a modern-day context. It offers a comprehensive look at the people and processes expected to maintain law, order and prosperity. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Politics is both modern and readable.

Married Love or Love in Marriage (1918) is a book on reproductive health by Marie Stopes. Banned in the US and scorned by the British establishment, Married Love or Love in Marriage was controversial for its openness regarding sex and the use of contraceptives between husbands and wives. While relatively conservative by today¿s standards, the pioneering work was an essential, bestselling book that guided generations of men and woman on how to nurture happy, healthy sexual relationships without increasing the stresses of motherhood and everyday life. "More than ever to-day are happy homes needed. It is my hope that this book may serve the State by adding to their number. Its object is to increase the joys of marriage, and to show how much sorrow may be avoided." Working with this goal in mind, Marie Stopes set out to rewrite the rulebook on sexual relationships between married men and women. Published the same year that she opened the first birth control clinic in the United Kingdom, Married Love or Love in Marriage pursued the thesis that desire and happiness could be nurtured within the home between a husband and wife by educating men and women on the use of contraceptives. An immediate bestseller, Stopes¿ work marked a seismic shift in discourse on women¿s reproductive health, paving the way for many of the reforms and attitudes some take for granted today. Risking her reputation and leaving behind a successful career in paleobotany, Stopes dedicated herself to the rights of women in England and around the world, for whom the burden of motherhood often proved not only limiting, but detrimental to their physical and mental health. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Marie Stopes¿ Married Love or Love in Marriage is a classic of British scientific literature reimagined for modern readers.

Ideen med bogen er at skabe fokus på mennesket som kreativt væsen og art, i en tid, hvor udviklingen, af videnskab og kunst, giver mulighed med teknologi og hjælpemidler som digitaliseringen, afvikler eller udvikler selvstændige kreative evner og talenter.Vi har brug for at genopfinde os selv ud af den konformitet der er kommet med teknologiens produkter og systemer, ved at genføde og genbesøge, os selv, til en mere enkel livsform, der er rettet mod kerneværdierne på det som skaber det kreative menneske, helt fra den eksistentielle essens, til det udviklende kreative væsen, og det er det bogen handler om, i filosofiske teser.
