    Peter Kreeft, esteemed philosophy professor and author of over eighty books, has taught college philosophy for sixty years. Throughout those decades, he yearned for a beginner's philosophy text that was clear, accessible, enjoyable, and exciting (perhaps even funny). Finding none that met those criteria, he eventually decided to write it himself.  In this four-volume series, Kreeft delivers, with his characteristic wit and clarity, an introduction to philosophy via the hundred greatest philosophers of all time. Socrates’ Children examines the big ideas of four major eras―ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary―and immerses the reader in the “great conversation,” the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history, including the most influential philosopher of all: Socrates, the father of Western philosophy. Volume II: Medieval Philosophers studies the transformation of philosophy that came about due to an unprecedented figure―Jesus Christ―and considers the philosophers of the great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as they sought to marry the Greek philosophical tradition with divine revelation.

    "What makes this book special is the richness of the illustrations of how symptoms of illness embody concrete events in a family and how family constellations can bring this to light with a respect that allows symptoms to recede and disappear. As far as I am aware, this has never before been identified and illustrated so clearly. This book is a first class pioneering effort. Alongside new insights, it also details the concrete steps that have led to new and often surprising resolutions."
    
    Bert Hellinger
    
    When a machine is out of order, we look for the broken part and attempt repairs. When something goes awry with the human mind, body and spirit, we need to look with a more holistic view for solutions. This book presents the experiences of a physician and psychotherapist who has gone far beyond the 'parts repair' approach to medical treatment to look not only at the whole person, but also the entire family system using the method of family constellations.
    
    The book is comprised of two parts. The first is a basic explanation of the approach, which was first developed by Bert Hellinger. In the second part of the book, practical applications of the method are documented in a wide variety of case studies. Illness and symptoms are viewed in the context of larger systems, and constellations are used to identify disturbances and restore a more health-supporting order.
    
    This report on the method of family constellations is a fascinating trip through theory and practice that offers a new concept of healing for lay readers as well as professionals.
    The Authors:
    Ilse Kutschera, M. D., born in Vienna, Austria in 1936, studied medicine in Graz. She worked as a physician until 1998, when she retired from her position as head of a rehabilitation clinic to devote her time to her private psychotherapy practice. During her career, she had developed a keen interest in psychotherapy and trained in various approaches including primal therapy, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, NLP and Bert Hellinger's constellation work. This book is an expression of her interest in integrating psychotherapy and classical medicine.
    Christine Brugger, born in Germany in 1962, is head of a radio station in the East Tyrol in Austria. Through her friendship with Dr Kutschera, she became interested in writing about constellation work in the medical field. The book is the result of many interviews, discussions and recorded case histories.

    Perhaps the greatest mythological tradition ever: "The Rich Heritage of Norse Mythology: Journey to Asgard: Discovering the Deities and Sagas of Norse Mythology." It offers the opportunity to really delve into that fabulous realm of Norse legend, where heroes, gods, and cosmic forces blur into a presentation of stories that have had enduring significance and breathtaking grandeur. 
    The book begins with the backgrounds of existence in the primordial nothingness of Ginnungagap, set behind the unifying axes of the mighty Yggdrasil. The Norse universe is created and understood through the actions and fates of its gods Odin, Thor, Freyja, and Loki, who are the Æsir and Vanir. Learn these cosmic characters for their expressions of universal knowledge, love, chaos, and courage through telling and perceptive analyses. 
    For instance, the book can prove its cultural and historical importance for such immortal stories by describing in bold legendary sagas, be they from Sigurd's chivalry to the horror cycles of the Völsunga saga. It does so even as it tries to probe at the horrific happenings of Ragnarök while revealing the cyclical dynamics of Norse cosmology characterized by destruction and renewal. 
    This will provide readers with an appreciation of how the myths arose and what elements of them are actually valid, through the discussions of such cultural, historical, and spiritual contexts that defined these myths. In connoisseur or novice to Norse mythology, this richly detailed journey to Asgard is sure to captivate, educate, and inspire as the complex legacy of the legendary culture brings to life today.

    The origins of gladiatorial games can be traced back to the ancient Roman Republic, although their roots extend even further back into earlier civilizations. While the gladiatorial contests that are iconic today were popularized by the Romans, the initial concept of such games was deeply influenced by traditions and customs from earlier societies, especially the Etruscans. In fact, the Etruscans are often credited with introducing the practice of gladiatorial combat to the Roman world. 
    The earliest gladiatorial contests were likely held as part of funeral rites. Roman aristocrats and leaders believed that these violent spectacles would honor the deceased and ensure their passage into the afterlife. These games, known as munera, were originally private events, organized by wealthy individuals to display their power and wealth, while offering a form of public entertainment. The idea was that the bloodshed and valor shown by the fighters would symbolize a tribute to the dead and possibly even appease the spirits of the departed. The number of gladiators involved in these early contests was small, and the fights were often staged in temporary arenas. 
    The practice gradually evolved from being a private funeral tradition into a state-sponsored spectacle, especially during the 3rd century BCE, as the Republic expanded and began to look for ways to solidify its control over its vast territories. The games became a tool of political propaganda, used by ambitious politicians and generals to gain favor with the masses. By the time of the Roman Empire, these gladiatorial contests had grown to monumental proportions, with arenas like the Colosseum hosting thousands of spectators.
