History everywhere shows us a powerful process of reciprocal action between the social and individual powers and conditions. In the Italian and Hanseatic cities, in Holland and England, in France and America, we find the powers of production, and consequently the wealth of individuals, growing in proportion to the liberties enjoyed, to the degree of perfection of political and social institutions....

Probably no writer has so profoundly influenced American philosophy and literature, as did Emerson. Known as The Father of Transcendentalism, he was the focal point of a small group of intellectuals reacting against the orthodoxy of the established religions of his era. As an active lecturer in the early 1830s, he delivered a number of landmark lectures, most notably among them - Compensation and ...

Leopold von Ranke, Volume II, Book VCounter-Reformation, 1836 History of the Popes: Their Church and State in three volumes, by German historian Leopold von Ranke, was first publish...

Ranke has given us not only history, but literature, showing that the noble language which he wielded was adapted, not merely for setting forth the investigations of science and the speculations of philosophy, but also for clothing human thought and historical facts in garments of grace and beauty. William Clark, Special Introduction, 1901 History of the Popes: Their Church and State in three volu...

It is a practical health guide, descri...

Enuma Elish, the Babylonian version of the story of creation, predates much of the Book of Genesis. Passed down orally for generations until finally being recorded on seven clay tablets, this epic was discovered by 19th-century archeologists among the ruins of the Library of King Ashurbanipal in modern-day Iraq. Translator and editor L.W. King has divided the Seven Tablets of Creation into two vol...

Originally published in 1897, The Evolution of the Idea of God is a study of humans belief in God from primitive tribal religions to what Allen considered the more advanced Christian view. The main question explored here is How did we arrive at our knowledge of God? Rather than trying to prove or disprove any claims about the divine, Allens method simply traces the psychological processes that led...

Before he became U.S. Supreme Court justice in 1902, American jurist OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES JR. (1841-1935) was already famous as the most influential proponent for and teacher of the common law.
