Dark times: How Georg Hegel predicted today’s turmoil

Dark times: How Georg Hegel predicted today’s turmoil

miscellanynews.org

These are foreboding times. At a moment when queerphobia, white supremacy and religious zeal appear in the forms of mass violence and repressive government regimes, it is easy to feel swept away in the morass.Moreover, the pressure of a time limit is imposed when we recall that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock is still at two minutes to midnight, with the minute hand still ticking (Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, “2019 Doomsday Clock Announcement,” 01.24.2019.) That is, an international group of scientists has calculated how close humankind is to destruction (...

Creating the American Nation

Creating the American Nation

George Washington, the commander in chief of the American Revolutionary Army, was the ever practical military leader, president of the Federal Constitutional Convention, and first president of the United States. The collections of this famous former British colonial reflect his public career and his personal interests.The approximately 65,000 items in the George Washington Papers revolve around Washington's careers as surveyor, plantation owner, military commander in the service of and in revolt against the British government, and practical politician. Washington's correspondence, ac...

Cardinal Alberoni: An Italian Precursor of Pacifism and International Arbitration

Cardinal Alberoni: An Italian Precursor of Pacifism and International Arbitration

In a previous study I had occasion to state that the pacifist idea, as well as that of the juridical settlement of international conflicts, dates much farther back than is generally believed, and that it has had sincere advocates in all nations. And what is of even greater importance, international arbitration was practiced to a large extent, both in the Middle Ages and at the time of the Renaissance. I would now present to the enlightened readers of this Journal an Italian personage as one of these advocates, by stating however at the outset, that he lyas not the first among hi...

Who Was Napoleon Bonaparte?

Who Was Napoleon Bonaparte?

livescience.com

Napoleon Bonaparte rose from a family of minor nobles on the French island of Corsica to become ruler of much of continental Europe. After his 1815 defeat at the Battle of Waterloo (in what is now Belgium), he was forced into exile on the remote island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic, where he died in 1821. While Bonaparte may be known for being somewhat short — a commonly held but false myth spread by British propaganda at the time — his reach throughout history is long. For generations, historians have carried out countless historical studies on his life and empire. ...

The Renaissance 'Prince of Painters' made a big impact in his short life

Renaissance Italy was a time of ruthlessness in politics and exquisite sensibility in art and culture, two extremes that shaped the life and art of Raffaello Sanzio, better known to the world today as Raphael.

A passion for Nicolas Poussin

A nymph lies dreaming, her white body cushioned by green and brown grasses and sheltered by fanlike trees, under a sky of blue and grey. Two hairy-legged satyrs, creatures of lust and animal instinct in classical myth, have crept up on her. One of them grins as the other lifts a bit of white clot...
