Idea of a University The by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Idea of a University [is an] eloquent defense of a liberal education which is perhaps the most timeless of all [Newman?s] books and certainly the one most intellectually accessible to readers of every religious faith and of none. . . . [O]nly one who has read The Idea of a University in its entirety, especially the nine discourses, can hope to understand why its reputation is so high: why the first reading of this book has been called an ?epoch? in the life of a college man; why Walter Pater thought it ?the perfect handling of a theory?; why the historian G. M. Young has ranked it with Aristotle?s Ethics among the most valuable of all works on the aim of Education; or why Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch told his students at Cambridge that ?of all the books written in these hundred years there is perhaps none you can more profitably thumb and ponder.?? ?from the introduction by Martin J. SvaglicJohn Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) was an Anglican priest, poet and theologian and later a Catholic cardinal, who was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of England in the 19th century.47.95147.9547.95John Henry Cardinal NewmanA7E0D811-B044-449B-A737-9D5003AFD3F7978026801849897802680184990007115, 44.58TPPaperbackCouverture soupleB4059369engUniversity of Notre Dame PressUniversity of Notre Dame Press2240.6963200.696111984-01-01T05:00:00ZTreatise on HappinessP10174Well BeingSELFHEL01ASelf-Help GeneralPHI005000, PHI022000, REL028000General ReligionBooks > Religion > General Religionhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0268018499.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0268018499.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frhttps://www. indigo. ca/en-ca/treatise-on-happiness/9780268018498.htmlhttps://www. indigo. ca/fr-ca/treatise-on-happiness/9780268018498.htmlThe Treatise on Happiness and the accompanying Treatise on Human Acts comprise the first twenty-one questions of I-II of the Summa Theologiae. From his careful consideration of what true happiness is, to his comprehensive discussion of how it can be attained, St. Thomas Aquinas offers a challenging and classic statement of the goals of human life, both ultimate and proximate. This translation presents in accurate, consistent, contemporary English the great Christian thinker's enduring contributions on the subject of man's happiness. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) is a Doctor of the church. He was an Italian Dominican friar and Roman Catholic priest who was an influential philosopher, theologian, and jurist in the tradition of scholasticism. Canonized in 1323 by Pope John XXII, Aquinas was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism. The late John A. Oesterle was assistant chairman of the department of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame (1972-1977) and the editor of The New Scholasticism (1967-1977).44.95144.9544.95Thomas Aquinas5CCF9FB4-7647-4FDA-BA5A-9647D6AAF1DC978026810265497802681026590007115, 31.12TCHardcoverCouverture rigideK9780268102654engUniversity of Notre Dame PressUniversity of Notre Dame Press6721.79.46.211201.79.46.2212017-11-30T05:00:00ZThe Red Wheel, Node Iii, Book 1March 1917P10140FICTIONFICTION01AGeneral FictionFIC014000, FIC037000, HIS037070Historical FictionBooks > Fiction > Historical Fictionhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0268102651.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0268102651.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frhttps://www. indigo. ca/en-ca/march-1917-the-red-wheel-node-iii-book-1/9780268102654.htmlhttps://www. indigo. ca/fr-ca/march-1917-the-red-wheel-node-iii-book-1/9780268102654.htmlTo commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, the University of Notre Dame Press is proud to publish Nobel Prize?winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?s epic work March 1917, Node III, Book 1, of The Red Wheel. The Red Wheel is Solzhenitsyn?s magnum opus about the Russian Revolution. Solzhenitsyn tells this story in the form of a meticulously researched historical novel, supplemented by newspaper headlines of the day, fragments of street action, cinematic screenplay, and historical overview. The first two nodes?August 1914 and November 1916?focus on Russia?s crises and recovery, on revolutionary terrorism and its suppression, on the missed opportunity of Pyotr Stolypin?s reforms, and how the surge of patriotism in August 1914 soured as Russia bled in World War I. March 1917?the third node?tells the story of the Russian Revolution itself, during which not only does the Imperial government melt in the face of the mob, but the leaders of the opposition prove utterly incapable of controlling the course of events.
