Book Description
Excerpt from The Primeval Dignity of Man: An Address Introductory to a Course of Lectures on Human Physiology, Delivered at the Toland Medical College, by J. Campbell Shorb, M. D., Professor of Physiology; June 4th, 1867 Let us st0p here a moment and look around us. We are sitting, Marius like, amid the wrecks and ruins of the past, and hearing the sad but eloquent pleadings coming up from by-gone ages for justice, soccer and defence. Man, our idol, is assassinated, his throne is destroyed, his glory eclipsed and his sovereignty over! There was beauty, if nothing else, in our'time-honored belief in the nobility of man's origin, but the theory that the Vandalism of the present proposes as a substitute is the very incarnation of ugliness. In the blazing light of modern science many fanciful notions that thronged the past, have been consumed, and we hear without regret that Neptune has been forced to drop histrident with which he controled the passions of the ocean and the pulses of the tides, and that Bolus guarded in his island home by wallsof brass and smooth, precipitous rocks, keeps the wild winds in subjection no longer, but we turn with instinctive horror from such elaborate improvement as would disarticulate man from his Creator and make his destiny, one in common with the brutes of the field which perish.

Oration on the Dignity of Man
Author: Giovanni Pico Della MirandolaPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1596983019
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
An ardent treatise for the Dignity of Man, which elevates Humanism to a truly Christian level. This translation of Pico della Mirandola's famed "Oration," hitherto hidden away in anthologies, was prepared especially for Gateway Editions, making it available for the first time in a stand-alone volume. The youngest son of the Prince of Mirandola, Pico lived during the Renaissance, an era of change and philosophical ferment. The tenacity with which he clung to fundamental Christian teachings while crying out against his brilliant though half-pagan contemporaries made him exceptional in a time of exceptional men. While Pico, as Russell Kirk observes in his introduction, was an ardent spokesman for the "dignity of man," his devout nature elevated humanism to a truly Christian level, which makes his writing as pertinent today as it was in the fifteenth century.

Book Description
Excerpt from Man Primeval: Or, the Constitution and Primitive Condition of the Human Being; A Contribution to Theological Science Divine Lawgiver. In him, all these pre-existing laws were re capitulated, and others were superadded. He himself was a system of moral government. Not only was the grand process of the Divine disclosure to be continued in man and by him, but he was so constituted that to him the entire manifestation was to be made. The laws of the Divine procedure, therefore, are here distributed into three Parts, consisting of the end aimed at; the method of attaining it; and the reasons for the employment of that method. The grounds for the adoption of this three-fold arrangement may be more explicitly stated thus - reverentially assuming, first, that every step of the Divine procedure is related and tending to an ultimate end; it may be inferred, secondly, that the only wise God who seeth the end from the beginning, pursues that end, not improvidently and uncertainly, but accord ing to an all-comprehending method and, thirdly, that the method chosen involves special reasons why it has been pre ferred. For unless we can suppose the Divine Being to be coerced by a necessity superior to himself, or to be bound by the iron mechanism of fate, we must infer that He has intelli gently devised, and voluntarily adopted, the entire plan of his procedure; and if so, it follows that He has done so for reasons, or according to the counsel of his own will. These three parts, though inseparably united, are essentially distinct. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Oration on the Dignity of Man (De hominis dignitate) The Oration on the Dignity of Man (De hominis dignitate) is a famous public discourse pronounced in 1486 by Pico della Mirandola, an Italian scholar and philosopher of the Renaissance. It has been called the "Manifesto of the Renaissance." Pico, who belonged to the family that had long dwelt in the Castle of Mirandola, left his share of the ancestral principality to his two brothers to devote himself wholly to study. In his fourteenth year, he went to Bologna to study canon law and fit himself for the ecclesiastical career. Repelled by the purely positive science of law, he devoted himself to the study of philosophy and theology, and spent seven years wandering through the chief universities of Italy and France, studying Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Syriac, and Arabic.
