Samuel Hahnemann was a German physician who created and introduced
homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine which claims that a
substance which causes diseases in some individuals can cure it in
others. Writing in the early 19th century, Hahnemann set out the
principles of homoeopathic medicine in a total of 297 aphorisms.
Each of these discussed the various attributes of healing that
underpin homeopathy as a method of curing. The notion of 'miasms'
as the origin and cause of all chronic disease, and how such can be
alleviated, is elaborated upon by the author. Today, homeopathy has
been widely discredited, with its methodology and teachings
contrasted with established discoveries in biology and chemistry.
Numerous studies of homeopathy's efficacy have shown that the
results of treatment are no better than placebo. In the 19th
century however, its use was popular with Hahnemann himself
contrasting his methods by terming conventional medicine
'allopathic'.
Fifty years after his death in 1965 the essays in this collection
return to Paul Tillich to investigate his theology and its legacy,
with a focus on contemporary British scholarship. Originating in a
conference held in Oxford in 2014, the book contains 16 original
contributions from a mixture of junior and more established
scholars, most of whom have a connection to Britain. The
contributions are diverse, but four themes emerge throughout the
volume. Several essays are concerning with a characterisation of
Tillich's theology. In dialogue with recent emphases on the radical
Tillich, some essays suggest a more conservative estimation of
Tillich's theology, rooted in the Idealist and classical Christian
platonic traditions, whilst in constant engagement with changing
existential situations. Secondly, and perhaps reflecting the
context of religious diversity and theories of religious pluralism
in Britain, many essays engage Tillich's approach to non-Christian
religions. Thirdly, some essays address the importance of
existentialist philosophy for Tillich, notably via an engagement
with Sartre. Finally, a number of essays take up the diagnostic
potential of Tillich's theology as a resource for engaging
contemporary challenges.
When it was first published, Lyrical Ballads enraged the critics of
the day: Wordsworth and Coleridge had given poetry a voice, one
decidedly different to that which had been voiced before. This
acclaimed Routledge Classics edition offers the reader the
opportunity to study the poems in their original contexts as they
appeared to Coleridge's and Wordsworth's contemporaries, and
includes some of their most famous poems, including Coleridge's
Rime of the Ancyent Marinere.

... must have come on like punk rock to a public groaning under the
weight of over-cooked Augustanisms. The Guardian They were written
chiefly with a view to ascertain how far the language of
conversation in the middle and lower classes of society is adapted
to the purposes of poetic pleasure -- William Wordsworth, from the
Advertisment prefacing the original 1798 edition. When it was first
published, Lyrical Ballads enraged the critics of the day:
Wordsworth and Coleridge had given poetry a voice, one decidedly
different to what had been voiced before. For Wordsworth, as he so
clearly stated in his celebrated preface to the 1800 edition (also
reproduced here), the important thing was the emotion aroused by
the poem, and not the poem itself. This acclaimed Routledge
Classics edition offers the reader the opportunity to study the
poems in their original contexts as they appeared to Coleridge's
and Wordsworth's contemporaries, and includes some of their most
famous poems, including Coleridge's Rime of the Ancyent Marinere.
