Описание: In this insightful new book David J. Yount argues, against received wisdom, that there are no essential differences between the metaphysics of Plato and Plotinus. Yount covers the core principles of Plotinian thought: The One or Good, Intellect, and All-Soul (the Three Hypostases), Beauty, God(s), Forms, Emanation, Matter, and Evil. After addressing the interpretive issues that surround the authenticity of Plato’s works, Plotinus: The Platonist deftly argues against the commonly held view that Plotinus is best interpreted as a Neo-Platonist, proposing he should be thought of as a Platonist proper. Yount presents thorough explanations and quotations from the works of each classical philosopher to demonstrate his thesis, concluding comprehensively that Plato and Plotinus do not essentially differ on their metaphysical conceptions. This is an ideal text for Plato and Plotinus scholars and academics, and excellent supplementary reading for upper-level undergraduates students and postgraduate students of ancient philosophy.

Описание: The tender, engaging story of a family in pain and a boy whose quest for courage leads him deep into the wilds of Appalachia In 1948 Madeline Tally leaves her philandering husband and returns home to North Carolina, where she and her thirteen-year-old son, James, move into an ugly purple trailer in the cow pasture behind her father's farmhouse. Smart and sensitive, James worries that he is somehow responsible for his parents' separation and feels out of place in the town where he grew up but has not been back to for five years. None of his old friends have time for him anymore, and his only new one is Lester Buck, a poor, peculiar boy who shares James's love of the outdoors. In Pittsburgh, Edward Tally spends his nights drinking with his fellow construction workers in the bar downstairs from his new apartment. He tries to tell himself that he is better off without Madeline and James, that he wants to be his own man again, free of the expectations that he was never able to meet. But there is a burden on his heart that cannot be eased by booze or by Paris Pergola, the seductive, moody blonde he has taken up with. Told from the alternating perspectives of the three Tallys, Thief of Dreams builds to a stunning climax as Edward comes to North Carolina to try to win back his family, and James and Lester get into a vicious fight with a schoolyard bully. With his friend in the hospital and his parents unable to bridge the divide between them, James heads into the frozen forest. What he discovers there will give him enough wisdom and experience to last a lifetime, if he can only make it back to his family alive. "Yount has created a family of remarkable complexity, pride, and, ultimately, heart. . . . A] triumph." -Los Angeles Times "Yount has done something brilliant: created a young boy whose actions with his family, his friend, and most importantly, alone, reveal to him enough truths for a lifetime. I haven't read so happily of such a boy since Faulkner's Ike McCaslin." -Andre Dubus "There are so few writers who can match the warmth and generosity of John Yount's voice. . . . Thief of Dreams is a wonderful novel: graceful, raucous, witty, sad." -Alice McDermott " A] small, graceful, melancholy novel . . . We feel ourselves in solid, sensitive, experienced hands." -The New York Times John Yount is the author of five critically acclaimed novels: Wolf at the Door, The Trapper's Last Shot, Hardcastle, Toots in Solitude, and Thief of Dreams. A longtime professor at the University of New Hampshire, he has been the recipient of grants from the Rockefeller and Guggenheim Foundations and the National Endowment for the Arts. According to John Irving, Yount is "a completely original voice in contemporary American fiction."

Описание: This book argues against the common view that there are no essential differences between Plato and the Neoplatonist philosopher, Plotinus, on the issues of mysticism, epistemology, and ethics. Beginning by examining the ways in which Plato and Plotinus claim that it is possible to have an ultimate experience that answers the most significant philosophical questions, David J. Yount provides an extended analysis of why we should interpret both philosophers as mystics. The book then moves on to demonstrate that both philosophers share a belief in non-discursive knowledge and the methods to attain it, including dialectic and recollection, and shows that they do not essentially differ on any significant views on ethics. Making extensive use of primary and secondary sources, Plato and Plotinus on Mysticism, Epistemology and Ethics shows the similarities between the thought of these two philosophers on a variety of philosophical questions, such as meditation, divination, wisdom, knowledge, truth, happiness and love.

Описание:
Family life is both messy and holy
If you embrace only the holiness, or if you just get lost in the messiness, then you miss the fullness of the experience that is living as a family - both in the domestic church and the Institutional Church. Here you'll find inspiration from Scripture and modern advice that does more than just tell you how family life is "supposed" to be. This book gives you real, practical wisdom on how to navigate the holy messiness of family life.
Insights have been gathered from experts in every area of family life, including: Dr. Sean P. Reynolds, Dr. Gregory Popcak, Lisa M. Hendey, Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle, Donald J. Paglia, Christopher West, Fr. Andrew Carl Wisdom, Dr. Thomas J. Neal, and Greg and Jennifer Willits. You'll discover that Catholic Church teaching on marriage and family is rooted in our ultimate calling - to love with all we can muster, even through those messy moments.
