"Father George Maloney, in his introduction to this volume, focuses directly on the special importance of St. Symeon and on how similar the religious situation of his era is to our own. "Concretely, the battle of two opposing views of theology centered around St. Symeon and his mystical apophatic approach to experiencing God immanently present to the individual, as opposed to the "head trip" scholastic theology as represented by Archbishop Stephen of Nicomedia, the official theologian at the court of Constantinople. Stephen represented the abstract, philosophical type of theologizing, while Symeon strove to restore theology to its pristine mystical tendency as a wisdom infused by the Holy Spirit into the Christian after he had been thoroughly purified through rigorous asceticism and a state of constant repentance." This great spiritual master of Eastern Christianity was an abbot, renowned spiritual director, theologian, and important church reformer. These Discourses, which form the central work of his life, were preached by St. Symeon to his monks during their morning Matins ritual. They treat such basic spiritual themes as repentance, detachment, renunciation, works of charity, impassibility, remembrance of death, sorrow for sins, the practice of God's commandments, mystical union with the indwelling Trinity, faith and contemplation.".

Per Wikipedia, Stuart Chase (1888 - 1985) Was An American Economist, Social Theorist, And Writer. His Writings Covered Topics As Diverse As General Semantics And Physical Economy. His Thought Was Shaped By Henry George (1839-1897), By Economic Philosopher Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929), By Fabian Socialism, And Briefly By The Communist Social And Educational Experiments In The Soviet Union To Around 1930, Though Chase Was Broadly A Modern American Liberal. Chase Spent His Early Political Career Supporting "A Wide Range Of Reform Causes: The Single Tax, Women's Suffrage, Birth Control And Socialism." Chase's Early Books, The Tragedy Of Waste (1925) And Your Money's Worth (1927), Were Notable For Their Criticism Of Corporate Advertising And Their Advocacy Of Consumer Protection. In 1929 Chase Co-Founded Consumers' Research, A Consumer Protection Advocacy Organization. In 1932, Chase Wrote A New Deal, Which Became Identified With The Economic Programs Of American President Franklin Roosevelt. He Also Wrote A Cover Story In The New Republic, "A New Deal For America", Which Appeared Days Before Roosevelt Promised "A New Deal" In His Speech Accepting The Presidential Nomination Of The Democratic Party. Whether Roosevelt Speechwriter Samuel Rosenman Got The Phrase From Chase Is Unknown. Chase's 1938 Book The Tyranny Of Words Was An Early And Influential Popularization Of Alfred Korzybski's Theory Of General Semantics.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Thus. First edition thus (rewritten with an explanatory preface). Review copy, with publisher's slip loosely inserted. Hardback in dustwrapper. 20.5 × 13.5cm, 244pp. Silone's powerful anti-Fascist satire. First published in 1939, the book is in the form of a dialogue and reveals how a dictatorship works and its anatomy; it exposes the tricks and violence that can threaten freedom, rights and even democracy itself. Whilst written in the context of Nazism and Fascism, "it was primarily concerned with the immediate need of defending democracy. Thus, while offering a critique of the Fascist and Nazi ideologies, it also attempted to expose their falsification of history and to define the social factors which facilitate totalitarian enterprises in the present age." Condition: The book is in good sound condition with some tanning to the page edges. The dustwrapper is tanned to the spine and edges with some chipping along the edges and spine ends but has not been price-clipped and is now within a protective sleeve.
