		Anne Finche, Viscountess Conway (1631-1679) ^Votes:0 Anne Finche, Viscountess Conway (1631-1678 or 79) "I say, life and figure are distinct attributes of one substance, and as one and the same body may be transmuted into all kinds of figures; and as the perfecter figure comprehends that which is more imperfect; so one and the same body may be transmuted from one degree of life to another more perfect, which always comprehends in it the inferior. We have an example of figure in a triangular prism, which is the first figure of all right lined solid triangular prism, which is the first figure of all right lined solid bodies, where into a body is convertible; and from this into a cube, which is a perfecter figure, and comprehends in it a prism; from a cube it may be turned into a more perfect figure, which comes nearer to a globe, and from this Read More Go to Site

		Chris Whiley 's Home Page ^Votes:0 James Boswell (1740 - 1795) Hi - I'm Chris Whiley.

		Heraclitus: Greek materialist. Keywords: pantheism, materialism, mysticism, scienceand religion, Greek philosophy. ^Votes:0 Member of GSAnet Banner Swap Heraclitus - the fire priest A history of pantheism and scientific pantheism by Paul Harrison. Are you a Pantheist? Find out now at Scientific Pantheism. This cosmos was not made by gods or men, but always was, and is, and ever shall be ever-living fire. Central zone of Julia set. Heraclitus flourished in the Greek city of Ephesus, on the Ionian coast of what is now Turkey, at the end of the sixth century BC when the area was under Persian rule. Little is reported of his life. His own writings make it plain that he had nothing but scorn for the popular mass, for political leaders, and for most previous writers on philosophy and religion including Homer, Hesiod, Pythagoras and Xenophanes. Heraclitus was once asked to write a constitution for Ephesus, but refused Read More Go to Site

Locke's two most important works, Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Two Treatises on Civil Government ( .txt-only version of Second Treatise ), both published in 1690, quickly established him as the leading philosopher of freedom. In the Essay he opposed the rationalist belief in innate ideas, holding that the mind is born a blank upon which all knowledge is inscribed in the form of human experience. He distinguished the primary qualities of things (e.g., extension, solidity, number) from the secondary qualities (e.g., color, Read More Go to Site

		Jane Austen Info Page ^Votes:0 Jane Austen Information Page "After long thought and much perplexity, to be very brief was all that she could determine on with any confidence of safety." -- Northanger Abbey , Chapter 29 The English author Jane Austen lived from 1775 to 1817. Her novels are highly prized not only for their light irony, humor, and depiction of contemporary English country life, but also for their underlying serious qualities. Jane Austen Info Page -- Short Table of Contents (A short listing of the main categories of information on this site, and all e-texts; for a thorough listing, see the longer table of contents below.)

		Johnson's Life of Ascham ^Votes:0 The Life of Ascham By Samuel Johnson Edited by Jack Lynch The text is scanned from Johnson's 1825 Oxford Works . Small capitals appear here as regular capitals. Please send suggestions and corrections to Jack Lynch . IT often happens to writers, that they are known only by their works; the incidents of a literary life are seldom observed, and, therefore, seldom recounted: but Ascham has escaped the common fate by the friendship of Edward Graunt, the learned master of Westminster school, who devoted an oration to his memory, and has marked the various vicissitudes of his fortune. Graunt either avoided the labour of minute inquiry, or thought domestick occurrences unworthy of his notice; or, preferring the character of an orator to that of an historian, selected only such particulars as he c Read More Go to Site

		Lynch, A Guide to Samuel Johnson ^Votes:0 NOW AVAILABLE: Johnson's Dictionary The Age of Elizabeth in the Age of Johnson A Guide to Samuel Johnson By Jack Lynch A number of requests for information on Johnson they come my way because of my Johnson page on the Web and my dissertation largely on Johnson have convinced me to put together a few paragraphs to introduce novices to Johnson. This is nothing like a comprehensive guide to the literature, although I do discuss some real bibliographies. I cover a few works of scholarship, and those not necessarily my favorites they're the ones that I think are most important for a beginner to know, the most often quoted, though not always the most thought-provoking. And this guide is unabashedly opinionated, though I hope my preferences aren't often perversely far from Read More Go to Site

		The Plays of Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) ^Votes:0 Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) This website grew out of my desire to have the plays of Thomas Middleton in one collection, personally edited and available on word processor. Having done that, I thought it worthwhile to take the next step and bring Middleton to the Web. One inspiration was seeing what a convenient resource there is in a Complete Online Shakespeare , which I used--along with the OED, a Bible search engine , and other resources, electronic and hard-print--to edit these plays. In editing, I've consulted quarto facsimiles and critical editions when and where available, and I've hypertexted significant textual decisions, along with glossed words and phrases; so while these editions are not refereed, a good deal of care has been taken in their preparation. The primary reason for th Read More Go to Site

		Thomistic Philosophy - the philosophy Thomas Aquinas ^Votes:0 The Da Vinci Con Thomistic Philosophy is inspired by the philosophical methods and principles used by Thomas Aquinas (1224/5-1274), a Dominican Friar and Theologian , in his explanation of the Catholic faith. Aquinas, who is most renowned for his Five Ways of Proving the Existence of God , believed that both faith and reason discover truth, a conflict between them being impossible since they both originate in God. Believing that reason can, in principle, lead the mind to God, Aquinas defended reason's legitimacy, especially in the works of Aristotle. The philosophy of Aquinas continues to offer insights into many lingering problems in Metaphysics, the Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Religion and Ethics.
