The subject of this Essay is not the so-called Liberty of the Will, so unfortunately opposed to the misnamed doctrine of Philosophical Necessity; but Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual. (...) The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.In this famous essay, John Stuart Mill questions liberty of thought, individualism and the limits to the authority of society over the individual. The text is here followed by "Utilitarianism", a treatise in which he defines the main lines of this moral and political theory based on the greatest happiness of the greatest number.This Large Print edition comes with a beautiful and Easy to Read Layout to make reading confortable.

"Si ta femme est venue à toi, si elle a quitté son père, sa mère, et toute sa famille, ce n'est pas pour que tu l'outrages, pour que tu lui substitues une vile courtisane, pour qu'elle soit en butte à une guerre perpétuelle : tu l'as prise pour qu'elle fût ta compagne, ton associée, pour qu'elle fût libre, et jouît des mêmes droits que toi-même"Devenue synonyme de sermon, et prenant toujours comme point de départ un extrait des Saintes Écritures, une homélie possède en toutes circonstances une dimension pédagogique. Elle est ainsi, en d'autres termes, un instrument de catéchèse visant à propager la foi chrétienne dans toutes les couches de la société. Les oeuvres de Saint Jean Chrysostome sont à ce titre exemplaires et constituent un modèle en la matière. Les homélies contenues dans cette édition spéciale abordent les thèmes conjoints de la famille, de l'amour, du mariage, de l'adultère et du divorce.Entièrement revues et corrigées, les oeuvres présentées dans cette édition bénéficient d'une mise en page esthétique dont la taille de police est conçue pour en faciliter la lecture.

They are neither an exhaustive nor a scientific exposition, but are meant as a suggestive introduction, in popular form, to the intelligent reading of the Bible.Herman Joseph Heuser was a Catholic priest, author, and educator. He obtained the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

IN the first volume of this series an attempt was made to set before the reader a statement of the ideas and beliefs which the ancient Egyptians held in respect of God, the "gods," the Judgment, the Resurrection, and Immortality; in short, to sketch in brief outline much of what was beautiful, and noble, and sublime in their religion.The "magic" of the Egyptians was of two kinds: (1) that which was employed for legitimate purposes and with the idea of benefiting either the living or the dead, and (2) that which was made use of in the furtherance of nefarious plots and schemes and was intended to bring calamities upon those against whom it was directed.We have now to describe briefly the principal means upon which the Egyptians relied for working magic, that is to say, magical stones or amulets, magical figures, magical pictures and formulæ, magical names, magical ceremonies, etc., and such portions of the Book of the Dead as bear upon these subjects generally.This Premium Edition includes :.

What I purpose in the following papers is, to give a plain and distinct account of the steps by which I was led, during a course of many years, to embrace the doctrine of Christian perfection. This I owe to the serious part of mankind, those who desire to know all "the truth as it is in Jesus." And these only are concerned in questions of this kind. To these I would nakedly declare the thing as it is, endeavouring all along to show, from one period to another, both what I thought, and why I thought so.John Wesley was an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist, who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. The societies he founded became the dominant form of the independent Methodist movement that continues to this day.This Premium Edition comes with a beautiful layout which makes reading comfortable.

Der Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung ist nicht die sogenannte Willensfreiheit, die so unglücklich entgegengesetzt wird der zu Unrecht so genannten Lehre von der philosophischen Notwendigkeit; sondern es handelt sich um die bürgerliche oder soziale Freiheit. (...) Das einzige Ziel, um dessentwillen es der Menschheit gestattet ist, einzeln oder vereint, die Freiheit eines ihrer Mitglieder zu beschränken ist Selbstschutz."Über die Freiheit" ist ein philosophisches Werk des englischen Philosophen John Stuart Mill, das erstmals 1859 veröffentlicht wurde. Für den damaligen viktorianischen Leser war es ein radikales Werk, das moralische und ökonomische Freiheit von Individuen gegenüber dem souveränen Staat forderte. Es war ein enorm einflussreiches Werk.Inhalt dieser Ausgabe :- Über die Freiheit- Die Hörigkeit der Frau

*** UNABRIDGED PREMIUM EDITION IN SEVEN VOLUMES ***AMONG the books which afford us an insight into he popular religious thought of the middle ages, none holds a more important place than the Legenda Aurea or Golden Legend. The book was compiled and put into form about the year 1275 by Jacobus de Voragine, Archbishop of Genoa, who laid under contribution for his purpose the Lives of the Fathers by S. Jerome, the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius, and other books of a like kind; while for the lives of the saints more nearly approaching his own age he appears to have industriously collected such legends as he could meet with, whether in manuscript or handed down by oral tradition. All persons living in later times have been deeply indebted to the man who thus embodied for their benefit and instruction a picture of the mental attitude of the age in which he lived. If the study of it be not absolutely essential, it may safely be averred that it will be most helpful and profitable, to all those who care to realise to themselves the faith of their forefathers, and in no small degree will it enable them more fully to understand the inspiration of the men whose faith found its expression in the glories and mysteries of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture.
