In 1597, a series of witch trials were held in Scotland which resulted in about 200 executions. The Scottish King James VI (who became James I of England in 1603) took a great interest in the trials and was inspired to write Daemonologie, a text in which the detection and classification of acts of sorcery and the resulting judicial processes are discussed in the form of a Socratic dialogue.

In this culmination of his highly acclaimed Cultural Liturgies project, James K. A. Smith examines politics through the lens of liturgy. What if, he asks, citizens are not only thinkers or believers but also lovers? Smith explores how our analysis of political institutions would look different if we viewed them as incubators of love-shaping practices—not merely governing us but forming what we love. 

Introduction and reflections by T.C. Griswold.

Explore the profound teachings of the Tao Teh Ching, a timeless classic on the Way and High Virtue attributed to the sage Lao Tzu, who is believed to have lived around the same time as Confucius. Although the exact origins of this revered text remain a topic of debate, it is beautifully structured into two parts the Upper Part, comprising chapters 1-37, each beginning with Tao, representing the Way, and the Lower Part, consisting of chapters 38-81, which starts with Shang Teh, meaning High Virtue. This insightful 1919 edition intriguingly refers to the Lower Part as the Wu Wei, often ...

‘I am not sure that I am a man,’ said Yuvanashva. ‘I have created life outside me as men do. But I have also created life inside me, as women do. What does that make me? Will a body such as mine fetter or free me?’ Among the many hundreds of characters who inhabit the Mahabharata...

In this deeply researched book, Patrick Olivelle draws on Ashoka's inscriptions and on the art and architecture he pioneered to craft a detailed picture of Ashoka as a ruler, a Buddhist, a moral philosopher, and an ecumenist who governed a vast multiethnic, multi-linguistic, and multi-religious empire.

Kopp in die deutsche Sprache übertragen, um dem westlichen Leser die mystische Aussagekraft näher zu bringen und ihn zur Harmonie der allumfassenden Ganzheit des Seins zu leiten.

In Tao Teh King, Lao-Tze unveils the profound essence of The Tao—an eternal guiding principle that underpins the universe and everything within it. Through a masterful exploration of dualities and complements, he delves into the intricate balance of strength and weakness, presence and absence, life and death. This timeless text has been a cornerstone of philosophical thought and wisdom for centuries, inviting readers to reflect on the deeper truths of existence. (Summary by Eric S. Piotrowski)

The Tao Teh King by Lao Tzu. Lao-Tze's Tao Teh King illuminates The Tao: a guiding principle of the universe and all within it. By exploring the nature of dualities and complements, Lao-Tze dissects strength and weakness; presence and absence; life and death. The Tao Teh King has served as a foundation for centuries of philosophy and wisdom.

Martin Luther King Jr. may be America's most revered political figure, commemorated in statues, celebrations, and street names around the world. But despite his stature, the significance of King's writings and political thought remains underappreciated. In To Shape a New World, Tommie Shelby and Brandon Terry state that the marginalization of King's ideas reflects a romantic consensus history that renders the civil rights movement inherently conservative - an effort not at radical reform but at "living up to" enduring ideals laid down by the nation's founders.
