Softcover. Condition: New. In this provocative book, Hugo A. Meynell sets out to describe what is known about "postmodernism." He criticizes its defects, calls attention to its dangers, and outlines a new way of thinking which combines postmodernism's best features with those of the Enlightenment to which it is so vehemently opposed. After a brief introduction, the author discusses the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, whose work is prophetic of both postmodernism and the "new enlightenment." Next he summarizes the elements of the new enlightenment and the epistemological and metaphysical principles that constitute it. Meynell argues that the essence of the new enlightenment, as exemplified above all in the work of Bernard Lonergan, is an account of truth and value determined by four "transcendental" precepts: "be attentive, be intelligent, be reasonable, be responsible." He then moves to an exposition and critique of four thinkers representative of postmodernism: Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, and Rorty. Criticizing these thinkers for emphasizing the creative powers of "intelligence" at the expense of "reason," Meynell suggests that reason is required if individuals are to get beyond speculation to finding out the truth about the world and themselves. Along the way, Meynell surveys interesting subsidiary movements and figures, like Baudrillard, Bataille, and some feminist thinkers considered postmodernists. In the final chapter, he returns to Derrida and the notorious question of his credentials as a philosopher. Throughout the book Meynell draws attention to the dangers of the cognitive and moral nihilism which appear to be an inevitable consequence of postmodernism, though he admits that it provides useful correctives to the deficiencies and limitations of one conception of reason. The new enlightenment is presented as playing synthesis to the "old" enlightenment thesis and the postmodernist antithesis.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. A selection of the best contemporary scholarship on William Tyndale.William Tyndale was the first to translate the full New Testament and half of the Hebrew Scriptures directly from their original languages into English and to see his work produced on the early modern printing press. Born in the late fifteenth century, he was educated at Oxford and began his self-imposed exile in 1524 when he was refused ecclesiastical approval for his work of translation. Regarded as a Lutheran heretic, he eluded capture in Germany and the Low Countries for over ten years while he worked on his translations and produced ten polemical pamphlets and works of exegesis. Eventually arrested, he was condemned and executed outside Brussels.This collection of essays-based on papers from the Washington International Conference celebrating the 500th anniversary of Tyndale's birth-contains cutting-edge work by some of the world's most established scholars currently working on Tyndale. The essays collected here address Tyndale's hermeneutics and practice as a translator as well as his pastoral concerns; treat his theological interactions with his opponent John Fisher, his disciple John Frith, and his adversary Jacobus Latomus; compare Tyndale's and Sir Thomas More's ideas on friars, Turks, and impending death; examine the role of Thomas Cardinal Wolsey in Tyndale's world and in Tyndale's works; compare Tyndale's efforts with those of John Skelton in calling for church reform; and consider how Tyndale's ideas echo in Shakespeare.The essays make fresh linguistic, historical, and theological contributions to Tyndale studies and give theoretical or practical readings of his lesser-known compositions. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of the literature, history, and theology of the Reformation in England during the sixteenth century, as well as to those interested in Tyndale himself, Sir Thomas More, and the Bible in English.John T.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. For decades, commentators on nineteenth-century Irish literature or history have routinely mentioned the significance of the Dublin University Magazine. Published monthly from January 1833 to December 1877, the DUM attracted as its contributors-and in several cases its editors-nearly every major Irish writer from this period. Prior to Wayne E. Hall's Dialogues in the Margin, however, there has been no systematic, book-length discussion of the magazine's entire career. In his study, Hall traces the dual nature of the magazine, its attention to both England and Ireland, which helps us to understand the sometimes guilty and reluctant, sometimes celebratory and passionate, union of these different cultural traditions and values. The DUM expressed a complex brand of Irish national identity that defined itself partly in cultural and partly in political terms. In seeking its own balance between excluding and including, between culture and politics, the DUM developed one main pattern in its pages: the magazine's political commentary stakes out the ideological ground with varying degrees of rigidity and exclusivity, while its literary contributions expand the magazine's total scope to embrace a much wider and more generous vision of "Irishness." Within the terms and tensions of the DUM's journalistic dialogue, then, readers can see the political and the literary values jostling against each other. The magazine serves as a detailed and thorough record of conservative political thought in the nineteenth century, and also shows that Irish political events have drawn much of their shape from the literature, even as that literature was being shaped in turn by politics.

Softcover. Condition: New. In follow-up to her acclaimed Privilege of Being a Woman;, Dr. von Hildebrand expands the discussion to explore how the fullness of human nature is found in the perfect union between man and woman. God chose to create man doubly complex. He made man of both soul and body a spiritual reality and a material reality. To crown this complexity, He created them male and female. Dr. von Hildebrand elucidates the tragic separation that happened with original sin and the consequences of this brokenness in the world today: the distortion of the male and female genius, supernatural blindness, and the triumph of secularism. She explores how this brokenness can be healed by following God s Divine plan for man and woman. We see this first and foremost in our Blessed Mother, exemplar of the path to holiness. This is also seen in the characteristics of saintly male / female relationships between husbands and wives, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, brothers and sisters, and holy friendships. It is only by coming to more fully understand the Divine plan for man and woman, and submitting ourselves to His plan, that true complementarity harmony of body and soul, male and female can be accomplished.
