<i>World Fire</i> is the story of how fire and humans have coevolved. The two are inseperable, and together they have repeatedly remade the planet.

The Rediscovery of Wisdom: From Here to Antiquity in Quest of Sophia

David Conway

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Classical Liberalism: The Unvanquished Ideal

Entering the lists of a venerable contest that was most recently revived in the early 1970s, Conway (philosophy and religious studies, Middlesex U.) defends the minimalist state against egalitarian welfare liberals who decry the inequality it allows, communitarians complaining that it destroys community, and conservatives who see it undermining the patriotism on which the state's legitimacy and stability depends. He takes them on one at a time, perhaps because none of them will be in the same ring with either other. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

By reconstructing it and tracing its vicissitudes, David Conway rehabilitates a time-honored conception of philosophy, originating in Plato and Aristotle, which makes theoretical wisdom its aim. Wisdom is equated with possessing a demonstrably correct understanding of why the world exists and has the broad character it does. Adherents of this conception maintained the world to be the demonstrable creation of a divine intelligence in whose contemplation supreme human happiness resides. Their claims are defended against various latter-day skepticisms.

Literature & Fiction

Once upon a time there lived an old Big Bad Wolf. He no longer had any huff and puff to blow down the Three Little Pigs' houses so he scampered off into the pages of the Fairy Tale book to find a new one.
