The New Spirit - Unveiling the Cultural Shifts: A Nuanced Perspective on Sexuality and Morality in the Late 19th Century

Havelock Ellis

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In 'The New Spirit,' Havelock Ellis delves into the evolving perceptions of sexuality, morality, and the human condition during the turn of the 20th century. The book is characterized by its introspective and candid tone, blending psychological insights with sociocultural critique. Ellis masterfully employs a blend of anecdotal evidence and historical context to illustrate the shifts occurring in societal attitudes towards sex, identity, and gender, presenting a holistic view of a rapidly changing world. This work is situated within the burgeoning modernist literary movement, which sought to challenge and redefine traditional norms and values. Havelock Ellis, a pioneer in the study of human sexuality and a key figure in the early sexual liberation movements, drew on his experiences and the intellectual currents of his time to craft this provocative work. His extensive research and progressive ideas were often considered avant-garde, positioning him as a controversial yet crucial voice in the discussions surrounding sexual ethics and personal freedom during an era marked by repression and strict moral codes. 'The New Spirit' is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of sexuality, psychology, and culture. Ellis's profound observations invite readers to reconsider their own beliefs in a time of profound change, making it a relevant and thought-provoking exploration into the complexities of human experience.

Know Thyself - Catholic...

Andrew Youngblood

Across the United States and around the world, there has been an ongoing resurgence in classical education, including among Catholics. The classical model, rooted in the ancient Socratic method, is flourishing, and classical Catholic schools continue to multiply and grow. But classical education also has its detractors. Some parents and teachers worry that it is impractical, outdated, or, worse, judgmental.       In Know Thyself, Andrew Youngblood, an educator with decades of experience in classical learning as both a student and teacher, introduces readers to this exciting education alternative and its intellectual and spiritual benefits. Youngblood defines the essence of classical Catholic education, explores its integrated and narrative approach to learning, and presents its transformative power and beauty.       Through brief vignettes, personal anecdotes from students and teachers, and examples from the classroom, Know Thyself makes a positive case for an education journey that teaches students to see themselves through God’s eyes—and to truly know themselves and who they are called to be.

Finding Out

John Cowhig

I AM 
Like you 
Living through dreams 
Making deals with desire 
Bullied by fears 
Tethered to memory’s ghosts 
Finding Out is a warm invitation to join me on a walk through the tangled pathways we all trek. Themes range from the pain of adolescent self-consciousness, to the security of friends, to the fire of romance, to our yearning to grasp the cosmos. The poetic images and metaphors explore—in both contemporary and classical verse forms—who are we? How can we deal with life’s complications and be happy, and what is this astonishing epic we call life? 
Finding Out echoes my deepest fears and desires, and my greatest joys and hopes, inviting you to explore your own path toward happiness and enlightenment. 
Several poems celebrate the art of writing itself: writing is a powerful technique to peel back the layers of conditioning smothering our true Selves. I hope they inspire you to polish your writing skills too. 
The connecting thread through the poems is our shared longing 
to Find Out of the Maze, 
from youthful insecurities 
to realizing 
our little life 
is just our latest dream 
since 
The Big Bang detonated, 
The Universe exploded into Consciousness, 
And the cosmic dream began
