Johannes Climacus, o De todo hay que dudar Søren Kierkegaard
Con Johannes Climacus, o De todo hay que dudar (1842), Kierkegaard se proponía herir a la filosofía, especialmente al idealismo hegeliano, y su primer paso -extraño, afectado y escandaloso- fue elegir, no la forma de un tratado, sino la de un relato. Sobre un fondo autobiográfico, narra la evolución espiritual de un joven empeñado en filosofar y describe el desarrollo dialéctico de su pensamiento. Se encontraba -dice- como un melancólico que contempla el vuelo de los patos en el cielo. Todo el que quiera pertenecer a ese mundo ha de unirse a ellos, pero jamás se ha visto a nadie volando a su lado.

The Journal of a Georgian Gentleman: The Life and Times of Richard Hall 1729-1801 Mike Rendell
The historical value and interest of diaries is not so much in their accounts of great historical events but in their ability to convey the quality - the sights, smells and textures - of everyday life that would otherwise be lost to us. It is everyday life that abounds in the diaries of Richard Hall, a sometimes pious Baptist haberdasher who kept shop at Number OneLondon Bridge through much of the late eighteenth century. He recorded what he ate, what he purchased, how he slept and above all what the weather was like in near obsessive detail. He charts the hurly-burly of family life - he had two marriages and numerous children - his sometimes tumultuous relationship with his church, and his boundless curiousity about almost everything - from astronomy to the latest fashions. His great-gr...
The Judean Social Life: Biblical Observation Thru a Different Perspective Ron McRay
What were they thinking? What were their customs? How did the geology of the area affect them and influence their understanding? The truth in the Bible was written in such a way that the people to whom it was written would understand it. It would reference their way of life, their customs, their lifestyle, their technology, government and religious beliefs. When the Bible is attempted to be understood outside of those parameters, problems arise. The fact is that the Bible was not written to us in the year 2015 or beyond. It was not written to Bible scholars of the 1800’s. It was not written to the evangelists of the 1900’s. The Bible was written to a special group of people who lived during the time that Christ walked on the earth and to their predecessors, namely, the Israelites. Only the...
