PROMETHEUS
(P/B) A LETTER CONCERNING TOLERATION
Εκδότης: PROMETHEUS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3291-0037
Ever since humankind raised its head toward the heavens in search of universal understanding and spiritual fulfillment, wars, pogroms, persecution, prejudice, and contempt have been the means of resolving the many and varied disagreements that have arisen over matters religious. In his Letter Concerning Toleration, Locke offers a compelling plea for freedom of conscience and religious expression. He outlines the limits of social and political incursion into the realm of personal belief or non-belief, discusses the dangers of mixing church ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) ESSAYS
Εκδότης: PROMETHEUS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3291-0022
Francis Bacon (1561-1626), scientist, lawyer, and statesman, occupies a unique position in English letters. His most widely read work, the Essays, still ranks high among the masterpieces produced during one of the greatest periods of English prose. These richly condensed utterances on human life show, in the matter of conduct, something of the same stress on the pragmatic that Bacon brought to his scientific writing. Together, these great essays are a rich collection of shrewd observations about human passions and pursuits, old age, religi... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

BATTLE-PIECES AND ASPECTS OF THE WAR
CIVIL WAR POEMS
Εκδότης: PROMETHEUS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3291-0012 This reprint of an 1866 volume of poems by the author of Moby Dick and Billy Budd includes four essays showing why Melville's verse with its unconventional linking of literary form and political-military history remains misunderstood and neglected. Princeton University historian James M. McPherson's preface thoughtfully discusses the import of Melville's book as a Civil War document. The introduction sketches Melville's pre-war concern with slavery in Moby Dick (1851) and Benito Cereno (1856). The seventy-two deeply moving, austerely beaut... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) CONTROLLING HUMAN HEREDITY
1865 TO THE PRESENT
Εκδότης: PROMETHEUS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3291-0055
In the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century, it was widely assumed that society ought to foster the breeding of those who possessed favorable traits and discourage the breeding of those who did not. Controlled human breeding, «eugenics» as it was labeled by Francis Galton, seemed only good common sense. How did eugenics come to exert such powerful and broad appeal? What events shaped its direction? Whose interests did it finally serve? Why did it fall into disrepute? Has it survive in other guises? These are some of the question... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |
