The Revelation of Art-Religion

Author: 

Knoll, Reinhold, Department of Sociology, University of Vienna; Kenneth Quandt, Ph.D. in Classics, University of California, Berkeley

Art’s original function in Christian Europe is exemplified by the way the Eastern Icon served as a window to the divine. After the Great Schism of 1054, several developments in Western Christianity separated art from church, cult, and religion. Art continued to evolve independently of the Roman Catholic Church through the Renaissance, with a continuous development of artistic style that culminated in the Baroque Totalism of
the eighteenth century.

Author: 

Dunn, Dorothy J., Ph.D, RNP, APN-C, FNP-BC, AHN-BC

Credentials: 

Associate Professor of Nursing, Northern Arizona University

In this innovative study, clinical care expert Dorothy Dunn explores what keeps nurses in the nursing profession by examining relational experiences between nurse and patient in the context of the nursing situation.

The Luciferic Verses: The Daodejing and the Chinese Roots of Esoteric History

Author: 

Cunningham, Ph.D., Eric

Credentials: 

Professor of Philosophy, Gonzaga University

Eric Cunnigham’s exciting new book combines a new translation of the Chinese classic Daodejing with a synthetic interpretation of the Dao. It innovatively employs the interweaving perspectives of Anthroposophy and esoteric world history. Among the inspirations for this work’s unique reading of the verses of the Daodejing is the speculation of contemporary esoteric scholars that the Yellow Emperor of Chinese mytho-history was actually a human incarnation of the spirit known elsewhere as Lucifer.

Plato-Nietzsche: Philosophy the Other Way

Author: 

Dixsaut, Monique

Credentials: 

Professor Emerita at the University of Paris I. Translator: Kenneth Quandt, Ph.D. in Classics, University of California, Berkeley

The "PHILOSOPHY THE OTHER WAY" uncovers in the works of Plato and Nietzsche not some royal road to truth but rather the intensity of their love and commitment to the life of thought, whatever it discovers and wherever it might lead. Plato explored this in his ubiquitous absence from the adventures of thought depicted in his Dialogues. Nietzsche followed suit with his unrelenting presence as the grim and forceful conscience behind all the masks through which he spoke in his chaotic oeuvre.
