But it is good sometimes to put aside linguistic details and examine the larger picture, and when I read Stuttard’s opening words about Athens in 480 B.C.-“With every day that passes, tensions ratchet higher. His sentences shimmer with excitement, making readers of Phoenix: A Father, A Son, and the Rise of Athens feel they are right there with the Greeks of 2500 years ago as they sweated in the heat, shivered in terror of war, and bristled with anticipation on the cusp of Athenian greatness.Īn Indo-Europeanist rather than a classical historian, I am an unlikely person to comment on Stuttard’s new book about Miltiades IV (the Younger) and his son Cimon II. Have I ever read another historical account written with such verve? Perhaps not: David Stuttard is a marvelous writer. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Max weber the protestant ethicCalvinists, therefore, live in constant fear. Each human’s fate has already been decided as blessed or condemned and neither human effort nor divine sacrament may be employed to ensure passage to the kingdom of heaven. According to Weber, this process occurs via the Calvinist concept of predestination, in which heaven is reserved for an elect and predetermined few ( certudo salutis), and the rest of humanity is doomed to damnation. This essay will explain Weber’s central thesis before placing it in dialogue with Hegelian and Marxist modernization theories.īy selling as blessed the concepts of work and wealth as blessed, “ascetic Protestantism” – most specifically Calvinism, Pietism, Methodism, and Baptism – produces an environment amenable to the development of capitalism. Rather, he argues that Puritan ideology provided a favorable environment for the rise of capitalism. Though critics quickly attacked him for espousing a spurious causal mechanism, this was not his intention. In The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, Max Weber illustrates a relationship between ideology and economic structure. … t’s not only that my shoulders + back are round, but that my head is thrust forward.” The journals are largely comprised of lists, ways to improve herself, books she should read, chronologies. “I had never realized how bad my posture is,” she writes. The critic takes her own personality on as a subject and dissects, often unflatteringly, her own weaknesses on the highest and most trivial levels. The imperial voice of Against Interpretation is here aimed at herself. There is a seriousness, an almost preternatural lack of humor, to the entries that is both the amazing power and the curiosity of Sontag’s thought. Her notes are scattered, aphoristic, sharp. Sontag does not expend the energy on being charming, or even comprehensible, that most people paradoxically do in their private journals. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Darnielle devil houseWe first meet Chandler when he is stuck in a suburban house in Milpitas, California, in 2006. The novel is divided into seven mirrored sections that tell at least seven stories that are connected through true-crime writer Gage Chandler. It’s also artful, organized in a chiastic structure with a backward-looping narrative characteristic of many classical texts, but not inaccessible. It will appeal to fans of true crime and horror, but it also serves as a critique of violence-fueled content. Like Darnielle’s earlier novels, 2014’s Wolf in White Van, which was nominated for a National Book Award for fiction, and 2017’s Universal Harvester, Devil House isn’t easy to categorize. This stuff was primary in my mind while I was writing.” “There was a basketball court there with a backstop that had a big artwork about people who had died in the local neighborhood,” Darnielle says.
