Crafted with the same care and insight as her award-winning novels, Absence of Mind challenges postmodern atheists who crusade against religion under the banner of science. In Robinson’s view, scientific reasoning does not denote a sense of logical infallibility, as thinkers like Richard Dawkins might suggest. Instead, in its purest form, science represents a search for answers. It engages the problem of knowledge, an aspect of the mystery of consciousness, rather than providing a simple and final model of reality. Marilynne Robinson is the author of By defending the importance of individual reflection, Robinson Gilead, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer celebrates the power and variety of human consciousness in the Prize for fiction; Home, winner of the tradition of William James. She explores the nature of subjectivity and 2009 Orange Prize for Fiction; and considers the culture in which Sigmund Freud was situated and its Housekeeping, winner of the 1982 Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award influence on his model of self and civilisation.

It smacks too much of absolute judgments and metaphysical certainties to suit the modern age. In this witty, accessible study, the prominent Marxist thinker Terry Eagleton launches a surprising defense of the reality of evil, drawing on literary, theological and psychoanalytic sources to suggest that evil, no mere medieval artifact, is a real phenomenon with palpable force in our contemporary world. In a book that ranges from St. Augustine to alcoholism, Thomas Aquinas to Thomas Mann, Shakespeare to the Holocaust, Eagleton Terry Eagleton is Professor of English investigates the frightful plight of those doomed souls who apparently Literature at the National University destroy for no reason. In the process, he poses a set of intriguing of Ireland, Galway, Distinguished questions. Is evil really a kind of nothingness?

  • “ 'Sword-Point and Blade Will Reconcile Us First' ”1 the Vikings in the English Context
    “ ‘Sword-point and blade will reconcile us first’ ”1 The Vikings in the English Context Simon Newcombe 090232720 ML 300M Dr. Alicia McKenzie Wilfrid Laurier University Saturday, November 24, 2012 Word Count: 3597 1 Unknown, "The Battle of Maldon," in Longman Anthology of Old English, Old Icelandic, and Anglo-Norman Literatures, ed. Richard North, et al., 499-518 (Edinburgh Gate: Longman, 2011): 504, line 60. 1 The popular perception of the Viking people today is a very caricatured, often romanticized, version of the reality. As a result of their violent activities in Britain and other areas, the Vikings have become synonymous with the term “barbarian”. Unfortunately, this outlook does a great disservice to the complexity of Viking society and culture demonstrated by contemporary historical accounts and archaeological investigation. The Viking influence on what would eventually become known as the United Kingdom cannot be overstated as the raiders became invaders, neighbours, and finally integrated residents of Britain. Their impact is also far reaching: covering linguistic, political, and cultural influences that survive to this day. But in order to decipher this influence it is necessary to understand how the Anglo-Saxons saw the Vikings they were in contact/conflict with and how this differs from how the Vikings viewed themselves. This relationship can then provide a greater understanding of the popular conception of the Viking people in modern society and how it came to be. The Vikings were a seafaring people that settled many parts of the globe and explored many more during the early Middle Ages.2 The term “Viking” is, perhaps, inaccurate as it describes an action rather than the name of a people itself.
