The Philosophy of Shelley's Poetry

William Butler Yeats

Sinossi

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist, writer and initiate, and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and along with Lady Gregory founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature, and later served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State.
Considered one of the key English-language poets, Yates was a Symbolist, using allusive imagery and symbolic structures throughout his career. He chose words and assembled them so that, in addition to a particular meaning, they suggest abstract thoughts that may seem more significant and resonant. His use of symbols is usually something physical that is both itself and a suggestion of other, perhaps immaterial, timeless qualities.
The Yeats’ essay The Philosophy of Shelley's Poetry, written in 1900, was included in 1903 in the collection of Yeats’ non-fiction works and essays Ideas of Good and Evil, published in London by A.H. Bullen.
It is one of the great Irish author's masterpieces of literary criticism. In it Yeats does not limit himself to analyzing the magic, charm and philosophy of Percy Bysshe Shelley's poetry, but also manages to read these characteristics through his profound knowledge of symbols and archetypes, derived from his lifelong membership of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society dedicated to the study and practice of occult Hermeticism and metaphysics.

How to Analyze People - Master...

Kevin Hallstone

All of us judge people when we see them, and even if we aren't consciously aware of the conclusions that we make about people, we still do make them, as that determines our actions towards people. Reading people is a human habit and one that we cannot get rid of. We read people because we are threatened by new people that we meet, we want to determine if this person is someone that we can trust or not and a lot of times we end up making the wrong decisions. 
The purpose of this book is to make this inexact science of judging people a little more exact. By giving you some standards based on which you can judge people, you will become consciously aware of how people function, and more importantly, you'll have a guideline according to which you can read body language. It'll also help you to be sure about the conclusions you come to because a lot of times, our intuition tells us that something is wrong with a person, but we just shut it off because we are too scared of coming off as judgmental. 
Analyzing people is not only good for protecting yourself but also helps you to communicate better with your loved ones. You can notice small things once you start looking at people, and you will know how to manufacture a situation where everyone can feel comfortable. Being able to read body language also gives you a sense of control since you have information about people that you can use to judge their intentions, control their behavior, and even your behavior. 
In this book, we're going to take a look at how the process of analyzing people works, why self-awareness is important and the role it plays in analyzing others, the basics of nonverbal and verbal communication, some intricacies of human psychology and lastly, the practical applications that you can derive out of all this knowledge.

Right to Die? - Euthanasia...

John Wyatt

The case for assisted suicide can seem so compelling. Surely it can't be wrong to help desperate people to kill themselves? Don't we have a right to take our own lives in certain circumstances? 
There are no trite or easy answers. John Wyatt helps us to navigate the arguments with hearts and heads engaged, and above all with our Bibles open. There are practical and compassionate alternatives to assisted suicide, and as many who have gone before us have found, the end of our lives on this earth may turn out to be a strange and wonderful opportunity for growth and internal healing.

Heart Soul Mind Strength - A...

Andrew T. Le Peau, Linda Doll

"Some publishers tell you what to believe. Other publishers tell you what you already believe. But InterVarsity Press helps you believe."
J. I. Packer
The history of evangelicalism cannot be understood apart from the authors and books that shaped it. Over the past century, leading figures such as pastor-scholar John Stott, apologist James W. Sire, evangelist Rebecca Manley Pippert and spiritual formation writer Eugene Peterson helped generations of readers to think more biblically and engage the world around them. For many who take their Christianity seriously, books that equip them for a life of faith have frequently come from one influential publisher: InterVarsity Press.
Andy Le Peau and Linda Doll provide a narrative history of InterVarsity Press, from its origins as the literature division of a campus ministry to its place as a prominent Christian publishing house. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the stories, people, and events that made IVP what it is today. Recording good times and bad, celebrations and challenges, they place IVP in its historical context and demonstrate its contribution to the academy, church and world.
In honor of IVP's seventy-fifth anniversary, senior editor Al Hsu has updated this edition with new content, bringing the story up to 2022 and including stories about contemporary authors such as Esau McCaulley and Tish Harrison Warren. As IVP continues to adapt to changes in publishing and the global context, the mission of publishing thoughtful Christian books has not changed. IVP stands as a model of integrative Christianity for the whole person—heart, soul, mind and strength.

"Pure O" OCD - Letting Go of...

PhD Chad LeJeune

Pure obsessional obsessive-compulsive disorder, or "Pure O" OCD, is a subtype of OCD that is characterized by intrusive thoughts, images, or urges without any visible symptoms. These "hidden compulsions" can include constant reassurance seeking, obsessive regret or worry, and may involve avoidance, excessive preparation, and thought rituals. They can also cloud your judgement, causing you to make decisions based on fears and compulsions instead of your values. So, how do you break this obsessive cycle? 
 
 
 
Grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and written by a renowned ACT and anxiety expert, "Pure O" OCD explains the cognitive fusion underlying your obsessive thoughts, and how it can lead to social anxiety, not feeling good enough, panics and phobias, and even other disorders—which then reinforce the fusion in an unhelpful, positive feedback loop. Using the five skills in this book—labeling, letting go, mindfulness, purpose, and acceptance—you'll learn how to finally break free of the struggle, worrying, and avoidance that keep you stuck. 
 
 
 
With practice, you'll find that you can counter your anxiety and obsessive thoughts with your own, values-based narrative, and learn how to better accept your thoughts and feelings, so that you can proceed freely and purposefully toward a life that reflects what matters most to you.
