Beyond Radical Secularism How France and the Christian West Should Respond to the Islamic Challenge


Free Download Pierre Manent, "Beyond Radical Secularism: How France and the Christian West Should Respond to the Islamic Challenge"
English | ISBN: 1587310740 | 2016 | 160 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This is the book that took France by storm upon its publication in the fall of 2015. It was praised by some for its rare combination of tough-mindedness and moderation and attacked by others for suggesting that radical secularism could not provide the political and spiritual resources to address the Islamic challenge. The book is even more relevant after the Parisian terror attacks of November 13, 2015. It is a book that combines permanence and relevance, that addresses a pressing political and civilizational problem in a manner that will endure.

Free Download José F Rojas-Viana, "Women’s Representations from Radical Naturalism to the New Woman Response "
English | ISBN: 1648897916 | 2023 | 148 pages | PDF | 1221 KB
In this book, Rojas explores comparatively the representations of deviant and criminal women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from Transatlantic perspectives in literary productions of the first-wave feminist writers of the New Woman movement and writers of Radical Naturalism. This work addresses how the writers’ sex is relevant in depictions of social constructions of female characters and how they established a dialogue based on gender through the themes of ‘femme fatale’, marginal spaces, eugenics, and social Darwinism in the novels of Emilia Pardo Bazán’s ‘La piedra angular’ (1891), ‘La gota de sangre’ (1911), and "Tio Terrones" (1920); Refugio Barragán de Toscano’s ‘La hija del bandido o los subterráneos del nevado’ (1887); Federico Gamboa’s ‘Santa’ (1903); Kate Chopin’s (Katherine O’Flaherty) ‘The Awakening’ (1899); Thomas Hardy’s ‘Tess of the D’Urbervilles’ (1891); and ‘Grand’s Ideala’ (1888).

Author: Maxwell L. Stearns
Narrator: Maxwell L. Stearns

Americans face increasingly stark choices each presidential election and a growing sense that our government can’t solve the nation’s most urgent challenges. Our eighteenth-century system is ill-suited to our twenty-first-century world. Information-age technology has undermined our capacity to face common problems together and turned our democracy upside down, with gerrymanders letting representatives choose voters rather than voters choosing them. In Parliamentary America, Maxwell L. Stearns argues that the solution to these complex problems is a parliamentary democracy.

Author: Ken Wilber | Narrator: Christopher Ragland
From integral philosopher Ken Wilber, a practical guide to finding a radical and complete Wholeness through a path that blends integral theory, psychology, spiritual practice, and shadow work.
According to Ken Wilber, the perpetual human search for growth and fulfillment is often incomplete. In this book, Wilber integrates the wisdom of spirituality, psychology, shadow work, science, and integral theory to offer us a path to a radical and complete Wholeness of Waking Up, Growing Up, Opening Up, Cleaning Up, and Showing Up. Wilber shows listeners how to apply integral theory to their everyday lives for transformation. For example, he shows how the theory of the Four Quadrants-the four perspectives through which we view the world-relates to our lives and allows us to show up and be more present. He also discusses how to evolve our multiple intelligences, how to increase our spiritual awareness, how to process what’s hidden in the depths of our consciousness, and how to enhance, deepen, and widen the feelings of bliss and love. Wilber introduces several practices-on topics such as the Witness, One Taste, and shadow work-to lead us to direct experiences that we can integrate into our lives. In this way, we truly understand Wholeness and can make room for everything life brings our way.

World of the Right Radical Conservatism and Global Order


Free Download Rita Abrahamsen, "World of the Right: Radical Conservatism and Global Order"
English | ISBN: 1009516086 | 2024 | 220 pages | PDF | 830 KB
The contemporary radical Right is not merely a series of nationalist projects but a global phenomenon. This book shows how radical conservative thinkers have developed long-term counter-hegemonic strategies that challenge prevailing social and political orders both nationally and internationally. At the heart of this ideological project is a critique of liberal globalisation that seeks to mobilise transversal alliances against a common enemy: the ‘New Class’ of global managerial elites who are accused of undermining national sovereignty, traditional values, and cultures. ‘World of the Right’ argues that while the radical Right is far from a unified political movement, its calls for sovereignty, civilisational orders, and multipolarity enable complex, strategic convergences with illiberal states such as China and Russia, as well as states and people in the Global South. The potential consequences for the future of the liberal world order are profound and wide-ranging.
