hardcover w/ dj. Condition: Sehr gut. Auflage: New. 224 Seiten Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Traditio…n (IJCT). Very good, clean copy. The idea of translating Gerdil into English is brilliant, the translation is very good and the introduction of William Frank precise and inspiring. . Rousseau proposes a complete break with tradition. A new man will arise who is severed from the whole heritage of the past. With him the history of mankind begins anew. In one sense we have here a transposition in the field of philosophy of education of the Cartesian cogito. The subject begins with himself. To this philosophical (and political) project Gerdil opposes the idea of tradition. We have not made ourselves. Our parents have procreated us. The parents do not only procreate their offspring, they also introduce them into the natural and social reality, that is they educate. No education is possible without a lively dialogue with history and society. Since the beginning man stands in a close relationship to others, is made for the human society. . In these our times one form of modernity (that based largely on Rousseau) is collapsing and the mood of the day is an unclear postmodernity that in some of its versions could well be a return to barbarianism. All the more important is then that another form of modernity be rediscovered and brought to the attention of the American public. - Rocco Buttiglione, University of St. Pius V, Rome A timely translation of a compelling 18th century critique of Rousseau by the neglected Italian author, Hyacinth S. Gerdil (1718-1802). Gerdil's Anti-Emile may have been written as a critique of Rousseau's Emile, but it can equally be read as a critique of the philosophy embraced by the American educational establishment. Through the influence of John Dewey, Rousseau came to inform much of the educational theory regnant in the United States, with disastrous consequences, now acknowledge by nearly all. In a valuable preface to his translation, Professor Frank, drawing upon his experience both here and abroad, not only places Emile in context, but defends Gerdil's time-transcending, classical view of education against its modern detractors. "Gerdil," Frank tells us, "addressed his Anti-Emile to elders responsible for education, be they parents, teachers, or political authorities, who might find themselves swayed by the powerful rhetoric of Rousseau's Emile." The same may be said of this translation and its informative prefatory material, for it is clearly a study that will be valued by anyone interested in principled education. - Jude P.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the birth and growth of Catholicism from its inception to its present state. The author begins with the sins of humanity and God's plan for redemption, beginning with the covenant made with Abraham. Through a historical lens, the author follows the major events, prophe…ts, and religious leaders of the Old Testament leading up to the birth of Jesus. Following the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the author details how the Apostles spread the Gospel and founded the first Christian churches. The book highlights instances of God's providence throughout history, such as when the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate failed in his attempt to rebuild the Jewish temple in Jerusalem, and links these events to the message of the Bible. The narrative emphasizes the Catholic Church's unity, enduring doctrine, and apostolic lineage as marks of its unique relationship with Jesus Christ. The author concludes by exploring the challenges and opportunities facing the Church in the present day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
