The Mystery of the Grail: Initiation and Magic in the Quest for the Spirit

1996 y.
Publisher: Inner Traditions
Description: In this important study of the meaning of the Grail, one of Europe`s greatest esoteric philosophers discloses the pre-Christian and initiatic sources of this symbolic motif that is so central to Western mythology and culture. He demonstrates how the main eatures of the legend are from an older tradition analogous to the great heroic sagas and cycles of the North, and that the Grail itself is a symbol of initiation. Evola uncovers the hidden meaning in the often surreal adventures of the knights who searchd for the Grail, interpreting them as inner experiences and tests for the seeker. He also explores the history of the myth in the Middle Ages, its use by the Knights Templar and the Cathars, its legacy during the decline of the Holy Roman Empire, and its inks with Rosicrucianism, alchemy, and Masonry. This excursion into the realm of the Grail throws new light on an endlessly fascinating subject. [detailed...]

The Mysticism of Money: Precisionist Painting and the Machine Age

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: George Ault? Stefan Hirsch? Louis Lozowick? Names of little significance except to specialists in American art of the 1920`s and 1930`s. But neither Ault nor Hirsch nor Lozowick is a marginal artist if the scope if Modernist culture in America is broadened to include proponents of leftist politics. Then, Andrew Hemingway, demonstrates, their paintings acquire great importance as critical representations of capitalists system. Hemingway is a masterful guide to the discussions and publications that fed some artists` drive to make art relevant to industrial society. With this context in hand, Hemingway looks closely as the artists` espousal of Precisionism, the hard-edged style often regarded as an apolitical American variant on Cubism. By contrast, Hemingway contends it served some artists as a vehicle for portraying the dehuminizing consequences of the industrial regime. His book revolves around the notion that the anti-capitalism of Ault, Hirsch and Lozowick functioned as a king of [detailed...]

Salim Rashid
The Myth of Adam Smith

y.
Publisher:
Description: This book presents a controversial account of the work of Adam Smith, challenging prevailing orthodox thought on Smith`s contribution to economics. It argues that Smith`s fame as an economic analyst and economic historian is undeserved. The book opens by introducing the reader to the author`s own views, and then examines Adam Smith`s analytical merits. In this exploration Salim Rashid considers two of Smith`s most celebrated ideas - the division of labor and the market mechanism. He presents anhistorical review of the division of labor, focusing on what was original to Smith, and indicates why this was of limited value. He then discusses the concept of the invisible hand within the context of an understanding of how markets work. The author then questions whether Smith used historical facts with an open mind and desire to learn, or whether he used them to illustrate preconceived theories. Smith`s applied economics are also studied in relation to his work on public [detailed...]

What is the difference between a naturally aging brain and an Alzheimer`s brain? How effective are the current drugs for AD? Are they worth the money we spend on them? What kind of hope does science really have for the treatment of memory loss? And are there alternative interventions that can keep our aging bodies and minds sharp?

The Myth of Development: Non-Viable Economies and National Survival in the 21st Century (Global Issues Series (New York, N.Y. : 1999).)

y.
Publisher:
Description: This provocative book asks readers to be politically realistic about what is happening to the overwhelming majority of people in Third World countries. With three exceptions (Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan), development has not come. A myriad ofpeople in feeble infant-states have been born--children of self-determination, but not of economic and scientific progress. State-driven, communist, and neo-liberal development models have failed most of these people. The large majority of Third World countries are only mistakenly called `developing.` They are not actually in the process of becoming Newly Industrialized Countries (NIC`s), but Non-Viable National Economies (NNE`s). This book explores the option of replacing the wealth of nations agenda with a survival of nations agenda. In order to prevent increasing social and political disorders, the author argues that many countries with primary production and explosive urban growth will have to abandon dreams of development to adopt [detailed...]

The Myth of Generational Conflict: The Family and State in Ageing Societies

2008 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: The ageing of Western societies has provoked extensive sociological debate, surrounding both the role of the state and whether it can afford the cost of an ageing population, and the role of the family, especially women, in supporting older people. In this important book, the authors examine how changes, such as cuts in welfare provision, migration, urbanization and individualisation influence intergenerational relations.The collection addresses theoretical and policy issues connecting age and generation with the family and social policy, and focuses both on cross-cultural comparison within societies and analysis based on a range of societies. This edited collection brings together a range of leading researchers and theorists from across Europe to advance a sociological understanding of generational relations, in terms of the state and the family and how they are interlinked. It will be of interest to academics and researchers in sociology, social policy and ageing, and to policy [detailed...]

The Myth of Ownership: Taxes and Justice

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: In a capitalist economy, taxes are the most important instrument by which the political system puts into practice a conception of economic and distributive justice. Taxes arouse strong passions, fueled not only by conflicts of economic self-interest, butby conflicting ideas of fairness. Taking as a guiding principle the conventional nature of private property, Murphy and Nagel show how taxes can only be evaluated as part of the overall system of property rights that they help to create. Justice or injstice in taxation, they argue, can only mean justice or injustice in the system of property rights and entitlements that result from a particular regime. Taking up ethical issues about individual liberty, interpersonal obligation, and both collective ad personal responsibility, Murphy and Nagel force us to reconsider how our tax policy shapes our system of property rights.

The Myth of Property: Toward an Egalitarian Theory of Ownership

y.
Publisher:
Description: The Myth of Property is the first book-length study to focus directly on the variable and complex structure of ownership. It critically analyzes what it means to own something, and it takes familiar debates about distributive justice and recasts them into discussions of the structure of ownership. The traditional notion of private property assumed by both defenders and opponents of that system is criticized and exposed as a `myth.` The book then puts forward a new theory of what it means to own something, one that will be important for any theory of distributive justice. This new approach more adequately reveals the disparate social and individual values that property ownership serves to promote. The study has importance for understanding the reform of capitalist and welfare state systems, as well as the institution of market economies in former socialist states, for the view developed here makes the traditional dichotomy between private ownership capitalism and public ownership [detailed...]
