Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

A play meant to be performed without intermission in one act, written with a tip of the hat to Absurdist Theater. Heavily leaning on the works of Samuel Beckett, Jean Paul Sarte and Christoper Durang, the world of Old Odd Ends exists in the middleof a Venn diagram where heaven, hell, and purgatory intersect and therefore outside the realm of all three. What world would we create if we inhabited that place in between? The two protagonist couples, Henrietta and Walter - Natalie and Ludwick, struggle with what they need, what they want and what they think they desire as they uncover new and unexpected terrains. Their unconscious attempts at solving the most basic condition of the human experience leads to both comedy and tragedy. The ultimate question might be "What if what I most yearn for is to be free from Desire? Wouldn't that be a desire to be desire-less?" The play considers that while we have the intellectual capacity to imagine a better world it is always seemingly beyond the reach of our short and delimited life. How do you visualize your perfect life after life? And what if it wasn't exactly what you expected? Old Odd Ends provides you with some insight before you meet your own personal Mephitso.

Originally published in 1956, this survey of the interpretations of sex by the major figures in Christian thought and in psychoanalysis made an important contribution to the re-thinking of our sexual morality at the time. The author refutes the common belief that the negative attitude toward sex and the body, which had been predominant in western civilization, originated with Christianity. He shows that such a viewpoint was widespread in the early Hellenism Age, nearly three centuries before Christ. He emphasizes the essentially positive view which Biblical religion demands and shows how Christianity’s attitude early became corrupted by the dualism of the Orient. He points to the need for a return to essential naturalism and the Biblical interpretation of sex.The first part of the book consists of a historical treatment in the Christian tradition, touching upon the teaching of Jesus, Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin and others. He analyses the classical and contemporary attitudes and ideas in both Catholic and Protestant circles and shows how Christian understanding comes into conflict with psychoanalysis. In the later portions of the book the author discusses sex and psychoanalysis and the major problems in sexual mores. He ends with a synthesis of the religious and psychoanalytic points of view and a critical reconstruction of a Christian interpretation.

First published in 1862, William Cole's journal records his experiences in the highly challenging circumstances of a trading expedition to Africa. Cole outlines in graphic detail the dangers he had to endure, and describes how he 'surmounted the most glaring difficulties'. Often displaying a wry humour, Cole's memoir speaks directly to the reader, with a tone of immediacy. In an anecdotal style, he describes the customs and costumes of the natives, and their often hostile reactions to him, and recounts how he was regularly without food, arms or assistance. The journal tells of the barbarity and cruelty he witnessed, alongside occasional acts of kindness or amusing situations. Cole's thoughts frequently revert to England, displaying his homesickness and his longing to return. Describing his life in Africa as 'a mixture of smiles and tears', Cole paints a vivid picture of a European in Africa during the mid-nineteenth century.
