The Soul of Economies: Spiritual Evolution Goes to the Marketplace [Paperback] [Jan 01, 1991] Breton, Denise and Largent, Christopher ...

In 1035 AD, a lame boy escapes an assassin’s attack at the Duke of Normandy’s castle and spends the next decade developing into Normandy’s emissary to Flanders, Denmark, Norway, and England. While his true identity remains a mystery, the emissary studies with a local warrior-turned-healer and travels through Flanders and Denmark as an ambassador. Pursued by an assassin, he finds help from powerful friends of the Kings of England and Norway. When a false accusation forces him to escape to Iceland and then to North America, the emissary receives vision-training from the last Icelandic prophetess and a Mi'kmaq wise man, learns the ways of Native American culture, and falls in love with his future wife. Finally able to return home, he uses his talents to resolve political and romantic crises for Duke William of Normandy. But in 1066, the new King of England runs afoul of the Pope, who has Duke William in his power. A fight for supremacy seems imminent, and Cuin’s talents may not be enough to stop it. Steeped in rich historical detail and told in a first-person voice meticulously crafted in the tone of the 11th Century, Tapestry looks behind the scenes at the history of the Battle of Hastings—and discovers an astonishing cover-up.

The nuances of language can get lost in translation. Never is this truer than in the area of philosophy. As philosophy professor and scholar Christopher Largent discovered during the numerous courses he has taught on the subject, ancient philosophy can start sounding like a game of telephone. Some of the most famous lectures of the ancient world have been lost to time. All that remains are notes from admiring listeners. One such listener was Arrian, a follower of the legendary Epictetus. Epictetus's work was so incendiary it got him kicked out of Rome. The philosopher spoke mostly about the art of living well. It is his most famous speech, the subject of Arrian's Enchiridion, that Largent is finally bringing to life. Largent brings Epictetus to a new audience by reconstructing this famous lecture. Through Largent, Epictetus speaks from beyond the grave and lectures listeners on the following: · The practical life-philosophy rule · The impact of our judgments and expectations · The human ability to respond to phenomena · Numerous insights into behavior Epictetus rose from his humble beginnings as a slave to become a famous orator. His work and his life still offer inspiration and meaning two thousand years later.
