The City of God, Volume II, an enduring work by Saint Augustine, invites readers into a profound examination of faith, society, and the eternal battle between divine and earthly realms. Written during a period of societal upheaval, Saint Augustine addresses the tumult of the collapsing Roman Empire, providing a vision of a spiritual kingdom transcending earthly trials. In this second volume, Augustine builds upon the philosophical and theological foundation laid in Volume I, continuing to explore the ultimate destinies of the “City of God” and the “City of Man.” He delves deeply into human history, exposing the flaws of a society built on pride and selfish desires, contrasting it with the values of humility and love that characterize the heavenly city. His insights into virtue, sin, and the nature of evil provide a roadmap for those seeking understanding in a world marked by conflict and change. The City of God, Volume II is celebrated not only as a theological classic but also as a timeless reflection on the relationship between church and state, morality, and the soul's journey. This work transcends its historical context, offering modern readers invaluable perspectives on spirituality, ethics, and the human condition. Saint Augustine’s eloquent prose and rigorous arguments resonate with anyone who questions the purpose of life and the nature of justice. Readers are drawn to The City of God for its intellectual depth and spiritual wisdom, finding answers to the age-old questions that still challenge society today. This book is a must-read for those seeking to understand the deeper purposes of human existence and the conflict between worldly ambitions and spiritual fulfillment. Owning a copy of The City of God, Volume II offers readers an opportunity to engage with one of the most influential thinkers in Christian philosophy, making it an essential addition to any serious collection on theology and philosophy.

William James was an important American psychologist and philosopher. He was one of the early academics of psychology and his philosophy touched mainly on pragmatism and the religious or mystic experience. The Will to Believe is a lecture he delivered, which argues that personal belief is a valid basis for hypothesis, in the place of evidence. Following this seminal essay are nine other philosophical essays by James.

Harvard psychologist and philosopher William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature explores the nature of religion and, in James' observation, its divorce from science when studied academically. After publication in 1902 it quickly became a canonical text of philosophy and psychology, remaining in print through the entire century. "Scientific theories are organically conditioned just as much as religious emotions are; and if we only knew the facts intimately enough, we should doubtless see 'the liver' determining the dicta of the sturdy atheist as decisively as it does those of the Methodist under conviction anxious about his soul. When it alters in one way the blood that percolates it, we get the Methodist, when in another way, we get the atheist form of mind."

The first four essays are largely concerned with defending the legitimacy of religious faith. To some rationalizing readers such advocacy will seem a sad misuse of one's professional position. Mankind, they will say, is only too prone to follow faith unreasoningly, and needs no preaching nor encouragement in that direction. I quite agree that what mankind at large most lacks is criticism and caution, not faith. Its cardinal weakness is to let belief follow recklessly upon lively conception, especially when the conception has instinctive liking at its back. I admit, then, that were I addressing the Salvation Army or a miscellaneous popular crowd it would be a misuse of opportunity to preach the liberty of believing as I have in these pages preached it. What such audiences most need is that their faiths should be broken up and ventilated, that the northwest wind of science should get into them and blow their sickliness and barbarism away. But academic audiences, fed already on science, have a very different need.

Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

William James was a groundbreaking thinker who made significant contributions to the fields of philosophy and psychology, as well as to the genre of personal essays. This volume brings together a collection of James' essays and scholarly articles that shine light on his doctrine of "radical empiricism," which attempts to outline the way the human mind comes to know and recognize not only material objects, but also the relationships and links between various objects.
