![]() Rollo, Margery’s brother, turns out to offer good cause for suspicion having twitted and tormented Ned over the course of the story, he’s sailing with the Spanish by the end. Her mom and dad are well-connected and powerful-but, alas, Catholic, not the best choice of beliefs in an age when Tudor Protestantism is taking a vengeful turn and heads are rolling. Ned Willard, returning from the Continent on a boatload of “cloth from Antwerp and wine from Bordeaux,” beats a hasty path through the snow and gloom to the lissome lass he’s sweet on, Margery Fitzgerald. Here he delivers with a vengeance, with his Kingsbridge story, set in the shadow of a great provincial cathedral, now brought into the age of Elizabeth. It’s not that Follett’s been slacking between books: he’s been working away at the Century Trilogy, set centuries later, and otherwise building on the legacy of high-minded potboilers he began with Eye of the Needle (1978). ![]() ![]() A flying buttress of a book, continuing the hefty Kingsbridge saga historical novelist Follett began with Pillars of the Earth (1989) and World Without End (2007). ![]() ![]() ![]() He examines Anaximander as a scientist interested in shedding light on the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in his rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again. He introduced a new mode of rational thinking with an openness to uncertainty and to the progress of knowledge.In this elegant work, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander's overlooked legacy to modern science. Anaximander's legacy includes the revolutionary idea that the earth floats in a void, that the world can be understood in natural rather than supernatural terms, that animals evolved, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. ![]() Over two millennia ago, a Greek philosopher had a number of wondrous insights that paved the way to cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world.

To be lasting, it must have a solid foundation. To be perpetual, a peace must not merely be temporary, like a ceasefire, but lasting. ![]() Kant’s essay takes the form of a philosophical project aimed at achieving perpetual peace. Indeed, Prussia had been engaged in wars for most of Kant’s life. He was reflecting on the bloody aftermath of the French Revolution of 1789 and the numerous Revolutionary wars between France and various European powers, including Austria and Kant’s Prussia. But what can we still learn from Kant’s essay?Īt the time of writing, Kant was 71-years-old. Unfortunately, it is a story repeating itself today as Ukraine is invaded by Russia. This is a story that German philosopher Immanuel Kant, while writing his essay Toward Perpetual Peace in 1795 in Prussian Königsberg (now a Russian territory on the Baltic Sea called Kaliningrad), was all too familiar with. ![]() A powerful European country invades a less powerful one. ![]() ![]() Debates about the scope of the Supreme Court’s power, and of the threat to democracy posed by activist judges, have haunted American politics since its founding and have been articulated by both the left and right. This is not an anxiety unique to the present moment. These demands also expose a perennial American anxiety: that the American people are not truly self-governing, and that American democracy must ultimately submit itself to the edicts of a sovereign in judges’ black robes. ![]() Other signs, reading ‘Abort the Court’ and ‘We Should Choose Our Own Destinies’, signalled the same demand, that the power to decide the most important questions in American political life should be held by the people.

Through most of the 1990s and early 2000s, I held high hopes that the Thrawn Trilogy would be brought to the big screen as the definitive Star Wars sequel series in one form or another. The books were brilliantly plotted and well written, and did an admirable job of keeping to the Star Wars mythology and overall tone and style. The Thrawn Trilogy introduced Star Wars fans to such memorable characters as Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Emperor’s Hand Mara Jade, and criminal mastermind Talon Karrde. Unfortunately, the Thrawn Trilogy and all of the EU have now been “de-canonized” and relegated to the classification of Star Wars Legends. Up until Disney bought the rights to Star Wars and released Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the Thrawn Trilogy was considered by most fans to be the de facto sequel, and it also marked the dawn of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy stands out as the fan-favorite Star Wars sequel that sadly never was. ![]() ![]() Instead, the opening lines are marked by a voice of supplication, the medium of an abrasive “Ich”, whose pained tones we have not heard since the Stundenbuch ( Book of Hours) (“cry out, cry out, perhaps that would help the saviour here”). The former is a medium of control, a gaze, the product of an equipoise and impassibility that gave rise in Rilke’s Dinggedichte to crafted vignettes, in which the object-world seemingly (in both senses of the word) came to presence on its own terms.īut that eye is not here in the first Duino Elegy. The round eye, which in its thinking plenitude links consciousness to the world (so that even the panther, in the poem of the same name, must suffer not from what it cannot do, but from what it cannot see), now gives way to another bodily organ that is not an organ: the mouth.
