Edmund Burke
Edmund Burke, 1729-1797, was perceived as leading progressive figure until he published his reaction to the French Revolution, Reflections on the Revolution in France, which he wrote as the Revolution unfolded. This volume places Burke in his historical context and carefully sets out the whole of Burke's philosophical contribution. It not only discusses the reception of Burker by his contemporaries, but also the impact of his ideas on politics and policy today.
Edmund Burke of Beaconsfield
At the height of his career he identified himself to a passing stranger as "Burke of Beaconsfield," and at the end of his life, he chose to be buried in the small church of St. Mary's All Saints Beaconsfield rather than in Westminster Abbey. In many and complex ways Beaconsfield is an essential key to the Edmund Burke who defined himself as the embodiment of Cicero's "new man" and whose marital relationship with Jane Nugent Burke sustained, nurtured, and drove him throughout his political career.".
The Science of Sensibility: Reading Burke's Philosophical Enquiry
Attracting philosophers, politicians, artists as well as the educated reader, Edmund Burke’s Philosophical Enquiry, first published in 1757, was a milestone in western thinking. This edited volume will take the 250th anniversary of the Philosophical Enquiry as an occasion to reassess Burke’s prominence in the history of ideas. Situated on the threshold between early modern philosophy and the Enlightenment, Burke’s oeuvre combines reflections on aesthetics, politics and the sciences. This collection is the first book length work devoted primarily to Burke’s Philosophical Enquiry in both its historical context and for its contemporary relevance. It will establish the fact that the Enquiry is an important philosophical and literary work in its own right.
Burke and the Nature of Politics
Edmund Burke in recent years has assumed extraordinary stature in American political thinking as the father of neoconservatism. In this book, the first of a two-volume biography of this eighteenth-century English statesman, Mr. Cone brings important new evidence to his thesis that during the age of the American Revolution Burke was significant more as the politician and the party man than as a systematic political philosopher. This volume deals with Burke's career to 1782, when the Marquis of Rockingham, to whom Burke had attached himself seventeen years earlier, stood once again on the threshold of the prime ministership. In this period Burke was the voice—and frequently the behind-the-sc...

The Silent Self
Within all of us there is an "inner core." It is there where we can behold our own pulse, rhythmically, harmoniously blending with the divine. For many of us, this "silent core" folded in its unique rhythm, is hidden. We have yet to know of it and to experience its presence. This manual is to guide you as you seek to unfold the continuum of the eternal, divine pulse within you. Your handwriting is a "mirror" of your inner pulse. Symbolically, it reveals your attitudes, behavioral tendencies, inner resourcefulness, self-direction, and interpersonal motivations. That inner "essence" however, may not be known because of fears, anxieties, ego motivations, and self-destructive patterns. Thus there is disharmony clouding the inner rhythm. The lessons of this manual assist you in bringing into harmony and balance your modes of thinking, feelings, and willing. To involve different conscious levels, the lessons include form drawings, visualizations, reflections and affirmations, along with modifying or changing limiting writing patterns. The function of each of these activities is explained in the book.
Visions of Queer Martyrdom from John Henry Newman to Derek Jarman
Dominic Janes is at pains here to highlight the role played by Christianity in the history of homosexuality in Britain. His story deals not merely with genital relations but also with identities both embraced and refused. Necessarily, coded expressions of desire as well as creative blurrings between religious idealism and queer gender and sexuality are integral to Janes s account. A special focus for Janes is the way in which visual images and imaginary visions of suffering in ecclesiastical contexts were used to develop concepts of male same-sex desire that projected the self as dutiful and penitent rather than shameful. And so, a model (and in ways a substitute) for same-sex relationships ...
