“A flower in the crannied wall,” Sellars describes these Lectures while picking his philosophy out of the crannies, roots and all. “One of the basic tasks that philosophy has to do is to raise questions,” he remarks, “to open up conceptual possibilities...philosophers should not regard themselves as merely Owls of Minerva who come back in the night after the day is done.

As a measure of the fruition of the ...

He and the other prophets of The Book of Mormon, who called themselves the visionary men and the peaceable followers of Christ, knew and practiced a mystery, an ordinance by which they ascended through the temple and entered into the presence of God. This ordinance was embodied in a dramatic representation of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden and their return to it, in which initiates played the roles of Adam and Eve or their descendants.

It seems impossible: a small island in the North Atlantic, colonized by Rome, then pillaged for hundreds of years by marauding neighbors, becomes the dominant world power in the 19th century.

By the sword, of course; by trade and industrial ingenuity; but principally, and most surprisingly, by the power of their common language.
