The Encyclopedia of Stupidity by Matthijs van Boxsel The Encyclopedia of Stupidity by Matthijs van Boxsel PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Matthijs van Boxsel believes that no one is intelligent enough to understand their own stupidity. In The Encyclopædia of Stupidity he shows how stupidity manifests itself in all areas, in everyone, at all times, proposing that stupidity is the foundation of our civilization. In short sections with such titles as ‘The Blunderers’ Club’, ‘Fools in Hell’, ‘Genealogy of Idiots’, and ‘The Aesthetics of the Empty Gesture’, stupidity is analysed on the basis of fairy tales, cartoons, triumphal arches, garden architecture, Baroque ceilings, jokes, flimsy excuses and science fiction.

Defenestrate The Masses by James Warhardy Defenestrate The Masses by James Warhardy PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad He had a name. It was Edward River. And he was created, by Conrad Miller, for a purpose. That purpose was to heed Conrad’s words in the many Volumes he had compiled, and search out the truth behind Edward’s reason for existence - a truth that would both define his life, but also alter the very face of the City itself. With the help of a creature, called the Rook, Edward searches the City for the Volumes he is tasked with finding - the truth is laid there, within those Volumes, if Edward has only the eyes to see it. Yet first he needs to grow, so that the words might make sense. But he had run out of time, and the Proctors, or Guardians With Wings, were after him. Edward was only a few minutes old. Outside the Gasten were rising, ethereal and non corporeal. They were called the Dawn Light, or the Light of the Morning, their humanoid form floating up, serenity etched on the...

Purpose and Providence: Taking Soundings in Western Thought, Literature and Theology by Vernon White Purpose and Providence: Taking Soundings in Western Thought, Literature and Theology by Vernon White PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Do our lives have purpose? Despite the rise of secularism, we are still confronted by a sense of meaning and direction in the events of history and our own lives - something which is beyond us and not our own creation/imagination. Using the novels of Thomas Hardy and Julian Barnes, Vernon White tracks this belief in intellectual history and tests its resilience in modern literature. Both novelists portray modern and late-modern scenarios where, although the idea of an objective purpose has been deconstructed, it still haunts the protagonists. Using literature as the starting point, the discussion moves on to an exploration of this belief in its theological form, through the doctrine of providence. White critically reviews the classic canon of providence and its p...
