Free Download Killing for Britain by John Black
English | March 11, 2018 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B01CW45I3A | 307 pages | EPUB | 0.46 Mb
This new 2018 edition of John Black's dark memoir of his time in the UVF in early 1970s Belfast benefits from the identification elsewhere of the shadowy British Army contact known only as , "Mike" in the text. This corroborates much of the author's testimony. Collusion between the British forces and the Loyalist paramilitaries is the last untold story of the Troubles. Loyalist terrorists were effectively used by the British Army as auxiliaries, a proxy army. Killing for Britain - UVF operative John Black's story - confirms both Republican claims that the British ran Loyalist Death Squads, as well as Loyalist claims that their activities were fully supported by the British state. Directed by the notorious British army counter-insurgency unit, the MRF in 1972, Black s testimony graphically confirms security policy was to use the killing of civilians as a means of forcing them to give up support for the I.R.A. This remarkable document is written by an eye-witness to murderous events and relates the author s personal, harrowing journey from human to monster, and back to human again, showing how such events from the past torture even the toughest people.

Free Download Jeffrey Hanson, "Kierkegaard's The Sickness Unto Death: A Critical Guide "
English | ISBN: 1108835376 | 2022 | 320 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The Sickness unto Death (1849) is commonly regarded as one of Kierkegaard's most important works - but also as one of his most difficult texts to understand. It is a meditation on Christian existentialist themes including sin, despair, religious faith and its redemptive power, and the relation and difference between physical and spiritual death. This volume of new essays guides readers through the philosophical and theological significance of the work, while clarifying the complicated ideas that Kierkegaard develops. Some of the essays focus closely on particular themes, others attempt to elucidate the text as a whole, and yet others examine it in relation to other philosophical views. Bringing together these diverse approaches, the volume offers a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal work. It will be of interest to those studying Kierkegaard as well as existentialism, religious philosophy, and moral psychology.

Free Download Kant's Philosophy of Mathematics: Volume 1, The Critical Philosophy and its Roots
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1107042909 | 332 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
The late 1960s saw the emergence of new philosophical interest in Kant's philosophy of mathematics, and since then this interest has developed into a major and dynamic field of study. In this state-of-the-art survey of contemporary scholarship on Kant's mathematical thinking, Carl Posy and Ofra Rechter gather leading authors who approach it from multiple perspectives, engaging with topics including geometry, arithmetic, logic, and metaphysics. Their essays offer fine-grained analysis of Kant's philosophy of mathematics in the context of his Critical philosophy, and also show sensitivity to its historical background. The volume will be important for readers seeking a comprehensive picture of the current scholarship about the development of Kant's philosophy of mathematics, its place in his overall philosophy, and the Kantian themes that influenced mathematics and its philosophy after Kant.

Free Download Kant's Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science: A Critical Guide
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108476899 | 302 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
In his Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science (1786), Kant accounts for the possibility of an acting-at-a-distance gravitational force, demonstrates the infinite divisibility of matter, and derives analogues to Newtonian laws of motion. The work is his major statement in philosophy of science, and was especially influential in German-speaking countries in the nineteenth century. However, this complex text has not received the scholarly attention it deserves. The chapters of this Critical Guide clarify the accounts of matter, motion, the mathematization of nature, space, and natural laws exhibited in the Metaphysical Foundations; elucidate the relationship between its metaphysics of nature and Kant's critical philosophy; and describe the historical context for Kant's account of natural science. The volume will be an invaluable resource for understanding one of Kant's most difficult works, and will set the agenda for future scholarship on Kant's philosophy of science.

Free Download Ann W. Astell, "Job, Boethius, and Epic Truth"
English | 2019 | pages: 260 | ISBN: 1501743163 | PDF | 5,4 mb
Calling into question the common assumption that the Middle Ages produced no secondary epics, Ann W. Astell here revises a key chapter in literary history. She examines the connections between the Book of Job and Boethius' s Consolation of Philosophy―texts closely associated with each other in the minds of medieval readers and writers―and demonstrates that these two works served as a conduit for the tradition of heroic poetry from antiquity through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. As she traces the complex influences of classical and biblical texts on vernacular literature, Astell offers provocative readings of works by Dante, Chaucer, Spenser, Malory, Milton, and many others.

Free Download Jihad: The Trail of Political Islam By Gilles Kepel
2009 | 472 Pages | ISBN: 1845112571 | PDF | 84 MB
In recent years, the world order has been rocked by an explosive, unexpected and extraordinary phenomenon: political Islam. Beginning in the early 1970s, militants revolted against the regimes in power across the Muslim world and exacerbated political conflicts internationally. Their jihad - or 'Holy Struggle' - aimed to establish a global Islamic state based solely on a strict interpretation of the Qur'an. 'Jihad' is the first comprehensive attempt to follow the history and spread of this new political-religious phenomenon today, from the rise of Al Qaeda to the explosion of support for Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad in the wake of the Second Palestinian Intifada. It is the definitive work on what the West has called 'Islamic Fundamentalism', and offers the boldest assessment of its past, its present, and where it might lead in the future. Jihad is vital reading for everyone concerned with the state of the world today.
