Wandering Poets in Ancient Greek Culture: Travel, Locality and Panhellenism

Cambridge University Press, 2008

Although recent scholarship has focused on the city-state as the context for the production of Greek poetry, for poets and performers travel was more the norm than the exception. This book traces this central aspect of ancient culture from its roots in the near Eastern societies which preceded the Greeks, through the way in which early semi-mythical figures such as Orpheus were imagined, the poets who travelled to the brilliant courts of archaic ...

Chronicles of Wasted Time

Malcolm Muggeridge

Regent College Publishing, 2006

Fabulously Written Autobiography - Funny, Spiritual
For those who don't know, Muggeridge was a British journalist - editor of Punch, television journalist, etc. He was raised among some of the most "forward thinking" (an ironic phrase) socialist minded, trendy (naturist, vegetarian, etc.) people in London - very much a Fabian set. In his 30s, after he had been a policeman in India and a journalist in the U.S.S.R., he underwent an awakening to the ...

Reflections on "Reflections"

In The Back Book, Johns Hopkins surgeons Ziya L. Gokaslan and Lee Hunter Riley explain the causes and complexities of back pain and the various paths to diagnosis and treatment. Stressing the importance of individualized treatment, they discuss the process ...

One of the finest
Ian Hunter by Ian Hunter and featuring Mick Ronson is one of the finest albums to come out of the seventies. Not only are the songs tight, spirited, and well played, but they seem to have stood the test of time. Listening to them now they sound as good as they did back in 1975 when I first bought the lp and wore it out. Though Hunter may not be a 70's rock and roll poetic genius like Bob Dylan ...

The Very Best of Malcolm Muggeridge

Malcolm Muggeridge

Regent College Publishing, 2003

Muggers, Once Over Lightly
A pessimist reading Muggeridge might become a bit more optimistic. An optimist reading MM may move somewhat the other way. But for those suffering the far more common modern malady of a nearly flatlined brainwave pattern from being inundated by dead prose, a dose of the divine Mr. M. comes as a reviving jolt of the paddles. Intoxicated by that first disorienting rush of life, one may do odd ...

The Philosopher in Early Modern Europe: The Nature of a Contested Identity (Ideas in Context)

Cambridge University Press, 2006

In this groundbreaking collection of essays the history of philosophy appears in a new light, not as reason's progressive discovery of its universal conditions, but as a series of unreconciled disputes over the proper way to conduct oneself as a philosopher. By shifting focus from the philosopher as proxy for the universal subject of reason to the philosopher as a special persona arising from rival forms of self-cultivation, philosophy is ...

Rival Enlightenments: Civil and Metaphysical Philosophy in Early Modern Germany (Ideas in Context)

2 reviews
Ian Hunter

Cambridge University Press, 2001

Rival Enlightenments is a gem
I found Hunter's book to be a real eye-opener. Its ambition is nothing less than to provide a new interpretation of early modern German intellectual history, with profound consequences for our understanding of Kant in particular. Hunter's own statement of his aims - to reinstate the marginalised tradition of civil philosophy - may seem modest enough. But once it becomes clear that this cannot be ...

Malcom, We Hardly Knew Ye
The few biographies I've read seem to be of two sorts. The first sort retreads all the old ground of the life of what-his-name: blah blah blah, and then subjects the dry-as-dust "facts" to some sort of psychological analysis to liven them up. Absolutely to be avoided. In the second sort, the author engages the subject as Jacob wrestled with the angel: as does a real life, it seems not a finished ...

The Secularisation of the Confessional State: The Political Thought of Christian Thomasius (Ideas in Context)
Ian Hunter

Cambridge University Press, 2008

Christian Thomasius (1655-1728) was a tireless campaigner against the political enforcement of religion in the early modern confessional state. In a whole series of combative disputations - against heresy and witchcraft prosecutions, and in favour of religious toleration - Thomasius battled to lay the intellectual groundwork for the separation of church and state and the juridical basis for pluralistic societies. Ian Hunter departs from the ...
