Brian Ellis starts with a re-appraisal of the founding of the United Nations and the political and economic policies of the post-war reconstruction period. He then shows how this period, despite its many faults, embodied...

Ellis, but it is his first collection of poems written in his present voice. While he continues with the same...

Steven Pinker's 'Enlightenment Now' establishes that great progress has been made on the aims of the European Enlightenment. However, the minds of many economists, moralists and political thinkers in the West are still set firmly in the eighteenth century. A new enlightenment is needed to overcome this poverty of social theory.

A critique of rationalism, this book explains both its powerful contributions to mathematics and the physical sciences and its disastrous failures in cosmology and the moral sciences. In these supposed sciences, rationalism has all but destroyed the social conscience of the West by creating the disastrous political philosophy of neoliberalism.

Jim traded this doubt for his sense of peace, and nothing he was doing helped. He needed help and the Journey, along with Zoe and the mysterious Abe, was...
