What are the things that we assert, believe, and desire? The orthodox view among philosophers is eternalism: these are contents that have their truth-values eternally. This book provides a defense of the opposing view, temporalism: these are contents that can change their truth-values along with changes in the world.

This revised and updated edition of a standard work provides a clear and authoritative survey of the Western tradition in metaphysics and epistemology from the Presocratics to the present day. Aimed at the beginning student, it presents the ideas of the major philosophers and their schools of thought in a readable and engaging way, highlighting the central points in each contributor's doctrines and offering a lucid discussion of the next-level details that both fills out the general themes and encourages the reader to pursue the arguments still further through a detailed guide to further reading. Whether John Shand is discussing the slow separation of philosophy and theology in Augustine, Aquinas and Ockham, the rise of rationalism, British empiricism, German idealism or the new approaches opened up by Russell, Sartre and Wittgenstein, he combines succinct but insightful exposition with crisp critical comment. This new edition will continue to provide students with a valuable work of initial reference.

Get ready to reclaim your power over your mind and emotions by facing psychic pain. Psychic pain is like a stop sign. It can stop us from embracing our goals if we experience devastating failures. It can discourage us from loving when we experience heartbreak or loss. And worst of all, it can prevent us from being ourselves and from enjoying life. When you know how to heal, you can reclaim your autonomy over pain and free yourself to enjoy your life. Facing The Overshadow is a memoir about healing and self-discovery by Tapiwa Chitembure. This book is about overcoming abuse and betrayal. It’s about defying the odds when people take you for granted. But most importantly, it’s about how to get rid of the psychic remnants of unpleasant experiences that ruin your inner peace. When your past is the reason why you cannot enjoy the present or why you can’t create the future that you deserve, healing is the solution. With an anecdotal approach that draws the parallels in our lives, Facing The Overshadow is a heartfelt, uplifting, and empowering book to read for self-healing and practical self-empowerment!

Dr. Smith’s Systematic Theology is the culmination of several decades of teaching and demonstrates his familiarity with several streams of Reformed theology represented by such theologians as John Calvin, James Henley Thornwell, Charles Hodge, B.B. Warfield, Herman Bavinck, John Murray, and Cornelius Van Til. It was his delight to expose his students to the breadth of the Reformed tradition, while celebrating its essential unity, its thorough grounding in Scripture, and its consistent focus on piety.
