Have evolution, science and the trappings of the modern world
killed off God irrevocably? And what do we lose if we choose not to
believe in him? From Newton and Descartes to Darwin and the
discovery of the genome, religion has been pushed back further and
further while science has gained ground. But what fills the void
that religion leaves behind? This book is an attempt to look at
these questions and to suggest a third way between the easy
consolations of religion and the persuasive force of science that
the everyday modern reader can engage with.
In this new accessible philosophy of friendship, Mark Vernon links
the resources of the philosophical tradition with numerous
illustrations from modern culture to ask what friendship is, how it
relates to sex, work, politics and spirituality. Unusually, he
argues that Plato and Nietzsche, as much as Aristotle and Aelred,
should be put centre stage. Their penetrating and occasionally
tough insights are invaluable if friendship is to be a full, not
merely sentimental, way of life for today.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1890 Edition.
1890. A discussion of the purposes, assumptions, principles and
methods of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. This volume contains
fourteen discourses on Romanism and the Republic. These discourses
are accurately transcribed into this work, which results in a style
of public address, rather than the more finished form of deliberate
literary execution. With confidence as to facts and inferences, the
author submits this incomplete discussion to the public as a
contribution to the demands of a great conflict.
Persecutions Of The M. E. Church, And Its Reorganization, Etc.
THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Romanism and the

The films of Pedro Almodovar have demonstrated great crossover
appeal in their ability to attract both mainstream and marginal
audiences and to command critical as well as commercial success.
The contributors to this anthology of critical essays seek, through
close readings of the director's 10 feature films, to analyze the
multiple contexts of Almodovar's phenomenal international success.
This volume offers a corrective to the glib approaches that have
dominated previous discussions of Almodovar's films, which have
treated them, on the one hand, as simply the latest contribution to
the travel poster image of passionate, romantic Spain, or, on the
other, as historical joyrides through the global pop culture scene.
As the first comprehensive study of Almodovar's cinema to be
published in North America, the book is also noteworthy for the
range of critical and theoretical methodologies that the
contributors bring to the study of his works. Drawing upon
disciplines that run from psychoanalysis, feminism, queer theory,
film and media studies, and cultural theory to the empirical study
of audience response, the authors nevertheless share a concern to
illuminate the specifically Spanish context of the director's
films. While this volume serves the important function of
introducing American audiences to post-Franco Spanish culture, it
also pursues the complementary goal of projecting contemporary
Spain into the critical debate on the forms and functioning of
postmodern culture and society.
