"What we need is deterrence, not victory in war." -- David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister.

Contemplations: A Different Path To The Sacred by Aenga Besceawung (1 Review)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Contemplations is a radical departure from mainstream thought on matters of culture, religion, and philosophy for the simple reason that it offers to one who chooses to see as I have seen, an experiential, open, and earnest path to the Sacred in this time of spiritual deception, blind grasping for purchase on purpose, and chronic longing for a crumb of dignity and for a taste of meaning in life.

Self, Society, and Spontaneity by Erik Davis (5 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Frankfurt School Critical Theory is influential on the left; Austrian School Neoliberalism is influential on the right. Their differing perspectives are analogous to the different notions of the unconscious held by Freud and Jung. Freud thought that the unconscious was our enemy to be brought under control of the conscious; Jung thought that the unconscious was our friend to be respected through a kind of dialogue. Analogously, Karl Marx tended to think that social systems are our enemy, to be overcome through rationality and ...
