Eternal principles govern all that unfolds

From Reviews: ‘The distilled conciseness of these writings gives us, more vividly perhaps than any other source, a sense of what Plato’s wisdom meant to [Ficino] who became his apostle to the Renaissance’Temenos Academy Review ‘It fills a need, since these Ficinian works have never been translated into English before. Even those Anglophone scholars who know Latin still need a translation in order to read quickly through a large body of material&rsqu... read more

Noting her personal journey toward spiritual discipline, the author suggests a system of checks and balances.

“It became clear to me that there was such a thing as truth, and there was such a thing as justice, and that they could be found, and being found, could be taught.” These were the words of Leon MacLaren, founder of the School of Economic Science, on the origin of this remarkable institution, now in its eighth decade. Brian Hodgkinson brings his historian’s skills and philosophic insight fully to bear in telling the story of those eight decades. It’s a story he tells with verve and wit, and in fascinating detail. The story... read more

John Clare (1793-1864) was born at a time of great social upheaval, just months after the beheading of Louis XVI and the outbreak of war with France which was to last till the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. He also lived through the upheavals of the land enclosure movement and agricultural revolution which changed the face of the countryside and the way of life in rural England. His father was a farm worker who managed to pay for his son's schooling, though this was cut short as conditions worsened, but at least Clare had ... read more

Marsilio Ficino of Florence (1433-99) was one of the most influential thinkers of the Renaissance. This title contains letters written in 1488 and 1489, with a preface added in 1490. It also includes four letters written in 1489 that concern Ficino's "Three Books on Life (De vita)".

'I find the new Ficino Letters volume a model of how to go about translating early modern authors from Latin (or Italian). Giving the original Latin is a boon, and all the other paratexts like mini-biographies, political terms, bibliography, superb dust-jacket, details about MSS and editions consulted, add to the user-friendliness and academic standing of the translation' Letizia Panizza, Royal Holloway, University of London

Most self-help books focus on a single topic - a problem, disorder, or life-change goal - and offer readers strategies designed to help them make progress on whatever that topic might be. If you're depressed, get a book on depression. Afraid of heights? There's a book just for you. But the fact is that human problems rarely boil down to a single topic: Few of us are ever just depressed, just anxious, or just inclined to eat too much at dinner. It's far more likely that we want to shake the blues and stop worrying about the bills an... read more

In this book, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves and the world around u... read more
