Even his Creationist friend Clare thinks Jack's genius is going to waste at Harvard. There is one man who knows how to put Jack to use, however: famous novelist and sometimes spy Ellis Graveworthy, who wants Jack to come with him...

Philo used philisophical representations to fuse and harmonize Jewish traditions and Greek philosophy. It interprets both Jewish and historic Greek philosophies.

Blending a subtle cocktail of Physics and Metaphysics, and building on inspiration from cutting edge thinkers, this new age opus takes the reader beyond the edge of modern science and into a higher dimensional realm where consciousness dictates its own destiny through the creation of multiple realities and a process of self-refinement, eventually achieving supreme omniscience.

The initial works tend to be ro...
An introduction to moral, political and economic philosophy. Twelve philosophers in each category are featured, their basic theories are examined and provide the basis for discussion.
The discovery found in looking over these proposals was this pattern of simply reviewing elements of each issue that both parties are familiar with, but have never taken the time to review more carefully. Ideology seems to be the reason for this and so made the stunning discovery that most of our problems are primarily due to the ideological death grip on our discourse and consideration. Simply moving beyond this political paradigm opens up to a vista of new options. Rag...
