From Time review 1962 "Eliot ignores headlines and the cold war and makes his study nature. What he finds—from the eagle-hung abyss below Delphi to the song of the local vegetable man—delights him, and he passes on his delight to the reader in prose that is sometimes eloquent, sometimes merely latter-day inspirational. "The stars rained down their incandescent spears in sharply patterned salvos upon Mount Pentelikon and me. Staggering a little with my face uplifted, rapt in the ringing of a dark-silver gong, I felt the winds of legend sweep between my ribs, and the fires of yearning and the tongues of dread."

New, 366 pages including index, a bilingual edition; No remainder mark, from the flap: Written by the Han philosopher Xu Gan (a.d. 170-217), Balance Discourses is an inquiry into the courses of political breakdown, It provides a unique contemporary account of the social, intellectual, and cosmological factors that XU Gan identified as having precipitated the demise of the Han Dynasty. This edition of Zhanglun (Balanced Discourses) contains the original Chinese text with annotations and on facing pages, an English translation also with annotation. This Collection of essays spans a range of topics, from Confucian cultivation to calendrical calculation. Xu's perspectives are of not only historical but also philosophical interest, for they reveal his belief in a special correlative bond that should exist between names and actualities and his understanding of what happens when that bond is broken. The translator, Jon Makeham, argues in his introduction that the essays display the same quality of balance that Xu Gan sees as essential to social and political equilibrium. Quantity Available: 1.

"Here, Hillman discusses character and calling, introducing an "acorn theory" that claims that "each life is formed by its unique image, an image that is the essence of that life and calls it to a destiny." Borrowing the language of Plato's Myth of Ur, Hillman suggests that this imaginary sense of our lives or callings drives each of us like a personal daimon or force. Drawing on extraordinary lives from Judy Garland to Coco Chanel to Hitler, he describes the movements of the daimon, showing how it can use everything in our environment, from lucky accidents to bad movies, to allow the acorn to "grow down" and express itself in the real material of our lives.

Writen as a way of clearing the ground of ideologies and then of groping for the solution of thier puzzle, this book remains a classic and one of importance reference. "...the abdication of intellectuals to the social engineers, and themselves becoming second class philosophers. .." from the preface. From the back: "In a saner age, Thomas Molnar's .. would become a political classic overight. But in a saner age the book would not have to be written... The story of the intellectual is the tragi-comic story of man bending all his energies to the rapturous cancellation, the progressively achieved obsolescence , of man...The return to reality is nonly through a low and narrow door, through humility. Man must surrender his titanic pretensions, his attempt to remake the world., to rival God. This is not the kind of politicalastatement men are used to hearing i the modern world-in itself, a sign of the need for it. ...a vivid reminder that the true critic of society is the prophet. And the prophet's message is also a threat: Humble yourself, or God will find a way of humbling you. Surely the threat was never more clearly expressed than in the dangers that beset the West at this moment." -Garry Will, National Revew Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
