Presidents and First Ladies-Woodrow & Edith Wilson
Presidents and First Ladies An intimate glimpse into the lives of the first families of the United States, Presidents and First Ladies is an exciting and insightful new series that highlights the personal histories of select presidents and first ladies as well as the historical events that shaped their terms in office. Documentary photography, illustrations, and maps combine with compelling text and excerpts from letters and other primary sources to reveal how key personal, political, and historical events affected each leader and their spouse, and consequently the climate of the entire nation.Woodrow & Edith WilsonIn 1915, less than a year after his wife Ellen died, President Woodrow Wilson met a charming widow named Edith Bolling Galt. To their surprise, they felt a connection. By June of that same year, Woodrow had proposed, telling Edith, "In this place, time is not measured by weeks, or months, or years, but by deep human experiences..." Woodrow's statement would become true of both their life together and his tenure as president. Woodrow & Edith Wilson offers a behind-the-scenes look at this intriguing couple, from Woodrow's leadership during World War I and his struggle to enact peace treaties to his stroke in 1919. It also follows them through Woodrow's fight to recover-and Edith's controversial assumption of many of the routine duties and details of the presidency.

On the Ethical Philosophy of Edith Stein

On the Ethical Philosophy of Edith Stein

William E. Tullius

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2024
sidottu
Although she never penned a text dedicated exclusively to ethics, Edith Stein’s work encompasses an implicit, but self-consciously developed, moral philosophy not yet sufficiently developed in the current English-language literature. However, comparison of Stein’s anthropological and metaphysical theories against the ethical philosophy of other early phenomenological thinkers, such as Max Scheler and Edmund Husserl, reveals lines of moral theory woven throughout her texts. In On the Ethical Philosophy of Edith Stein: Outlines of Morality, William E. Tullius endeavors to present a systematic account of Stein’s moral thought as it takes shape in conversation with neo-scholasticism and develops across her corpus in conversation with her philosophical anthropology, axiological theory, and metaphysics. The ethics which emerge from these sources is oriented around the moral project of the development of personality through the unfolding of one’s personal core and which entails a call to the development of an ethical community reflective of and oriented by its responsiveness to the highest values and to the communal destiny of all humanity in God
The Ethics of Auschwitz: Oskar Groening & Edith Stein
The notion of "Ethics" is considered by many to be at its most complicated at present. But as renowned astrologer Brad Kronen points out in his latest book "The Ethics of Auschwitz: Oskar Groening & Edith Stein", contemporary society need only look to the not so distant past of the Second World War to see just how far the Western World has come in establishing new societal standards of human civility.Kronen looks at the very different lives of two people who both have gained global notoriety as of late for their time spent at the largest of the Nazi death centers during the war, the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. One who arrived there as a Nazi prison guard named Oskar Groening and the other who arrived at the concentration camp as a prisoner named Edith Stein. Groening eventually left Auschwitz and would draw the attention of the international press when at the age of 93 in 2015 he was put on trial for his time spent there in military service. Edith Stein never left Auschwitz due to being murdered in the death camp's gas chambers immediately upon arriving there. Edith Stein was born a Jew who had converted to Christianity and became a cloistered Carmelite Catholic nun. She gained international notoriety not only for being a philosopher with a Ph.D but Stein's life was celebrated by Catholics around the world when in 1998 the nun who perished in Auschwitz was canonized a Catholic saint named Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. In this fascinating and uniquely provocative book, Brad Kronen supports his belief that only by remembering the horrors from a not so civil time in the not so distant past can the modern world ensure itself a more civil, ethical, and globally humanist future.

Edith 'Pearl' Ivey stood a mere five feet in height, which belied that she was a mighty giant. Widowed at 40 years-old, after tragedy struck down her husband leaving her to care for their nine (9) children, she demonstrated 'strength-of-a-woman, ' and entrepreneurial ingenuity to triumph and mine success from the dire circumstance that would've driven lesser mortals straight into the lunatic asylum. As her family's Matriarch, Edith 'Pearl' Ivey needs no physical monuments to honour her enduring legacy - this amazing heroine has already earned immortality in the memories of the massive army of descendants (including the author, her grandson) who now perpetuate her values, as well as her DNA, which is the ultimate "biological baton" that makes everlasting life possible.Born in 1905 - eighty-three (83) years after her great grandparents who were born in 1822 before slavery was abolished in Jamaica - Edith 'Pearl' Ivey lived for most of the 20th Century, and died in 1990. Her remarkable life, and those of her other relatives that are chronicled herein, give readers an intimate portrait of a family and a curated sample of significant cultural, socio-economic, and technological changes that occurred in Jamaica (under colonial rule by Britain and post-Independence), and globally

This biography represents a nuanced account of Edith Rickert’s life—and inner life. It follows Rickert’s own writing and draws attention to her life as a writer. Rickert has been long remembered as a medievalist, but she also contributed to American scholarship, pedagogy, and codicology. Born into a family of very modest means in Canal Dover, Ohio, she numbered among the University of Chicago’s earliest doctoral students (1895-1899) and was among the first eight women to reach the top of that University's professorial ladder. She prepared what remains the definitive edition of the medieval romance Emaré. She documented aspects of the medieval, as well as Chaucer’s life, with a historian’s accuracy and a novelist’s insight. In the Ladies Home Journal she wrote on women's issues that remain pressing today. With University of Chicago professor John Matthews Manly (1865-1940), she prepared numerous readers and textbooks, including several that helped putcontemporary British and American literature on the academic map. Again in collaboration with Manly, she was responsible for what has been described as “perhaps the most important of the MI-8 solutions” during World War I,as well as the eight-volume edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1940). Rickert also published short stories, novels, poems, and essays. As this biography shows, Rickert's achievement as a writer was equal to her work as a literary critic.
