Описание: It was more of a mob scene than a gathering of bereaved relatives at the reading of Grandma Charlotte's will. Who was the chosen one? What was the reward for suffering through the required 'visit' on their sixteenth birthday? The old lady dropped anyone from her will who didn't visit. Gold and jewels hidden in her spooky old house was common knowledge, so everybody went. Between his psychic grandmother and gold-digging relatives, the main family relationship Frank knew was to be as distant as possible.Frank got Grandma's decrepit Victorian house, along with the sneers and snarls of relatives he didn't know. He also found he had to move into the old place immediately.He found no gold or hidden jewels there. The only things locked away were home-canned jars of tomatoes from 1942. What he did find were visions of his dead grandmother. There were also files with his name, written long before he was born. There were also things called touch stones and a girl he'd never heard of. The visions could literally suck him dry. Frank's life could end soon, and in a most unpleasant fashion unless he learned how to keep his focus.

Описание:
It is commonly observed that behind many of the political and cultural issues that we face today there are impoverished conceptions of freedom, which, according to D. C. Schindler, we have inherited from the classical liberal tradition without a sufficient awareness of its implications. Freedom from Reality presents a critique of the deceptive and ultimately self-subverting character of the modern notion of freedom, retrieving an alternative view through a new interpretation of the ancient tradition. While many have critiqued the inadequacy of identifying freedom with arbitrary choice, this book seeks to penetrate to the metaphysical roots of the modern conception by going back, through an etymological study, to the original sense of freedom.
Schindler begins by uncovering a contradiction in John Locke’s seminal account of human freedom. Rather than dismissing it as a mere “academic” problem, Schindler takes this contradiction as a key to understanding the strange paradoxes that abound in the contemporary values and institutions founded on the modern notion of liberty: the very mechanisms that intend to protect modern freedom render it empty and ineffectual. In this respect, modern liberty is “diabolical”—a word that means, at its roots, that which “drives apart” and so subverts. This is contrasted with the “symbolical” (a “joining-together”), which, he suggests, most basically characterizes the premodern sense of reality. This book will appeal to students and scholars of political philosophy (especially political theorists), philosophers in the continental or historical traditions, and cultural critics with a philosophical bent.
