2) Hume, enquiry concerning the principles of morals self love vs public affection The second appendix is intended to clarify the meaning of the term self-love.

William Blake

INTRODUCTION
William Blake (1757-1827), English poet, painter, and engraver, who created an unusual form of illustrated verse; his poetry, inspired by mystical vision, is among the
most original, lyric, and prophetic in the language.
Your spring & your day are wasted in play,And your winter and night in disguise. Both series of poems take on deeper resonances when read in conjunction. Innocence and Experience, “the two contrary states of the human soul,” are contrasted insuch companion pieces as “The Lamb” and “The Tyger.” Blake’s subsequent poetry develops the implication that true innocence is impossible without experience,transformed by the creative force of the human imagination.

Charles Dickens.
The Old Curiosity Shop broke hearts across Britain and North America when it first appeared. Later readers, however, have found it excessively sentimental, especially the pathos surrounding the death of its child-heroine Little Nell. Dickens’s next two works proved less popular with the public. Barnaby Rudge, Dickens’s first historical novel, revolves around anti-Catholic riots that broke out in London in 1780. The events in Martin Chuzzlewit become a vehicle for the novel’s theme: selfishne...

While the left side of the canvas is largely Iberian-influenced, the right side is inspired by African masks, especially in its striped patterns and oval forms. Suchborrowings, which led to great simplification, distortion, and visual incongruities, were considered extremely daring in 1907. The head of the figure at the bottom right,...

Encyclopedia of Philosophy: THE SCHOOL OF PARMENIDES
this sense of ‘being' from its use as a verbal noun, and to avoid the strangeness of the literal ‘the being' in English, it has been traditional to dignify Parmenides' topic with a capital ‘B'. We will follow this convention, whereby ‘Being' means whatever is engaged in being, and ‘being' is the verbal noun equivalent to the infinitive ‘to be'.Very well; but if that is what Being is, in order to make out what Parmenides is talking about we must also know what being is, that is to say, what...

In 1967, in his mid-80s and failing in health, Stravinsky conducted a recording of his music for the last time. He died on April 6, 1971,...

It means that the love that this man is supposed to have for the beautiful and the good isn’t the sole or prime motive of his “virtuous” actions. The virtue of most men is the result of their fear or cowardice. It is not truly virtue. Are fear and cowardice motives able to make a man virtuous? No....
