MULTIMANIFESTATIONS: Tradition, Philosophy, Democracy, Psychology (Multifest.com) Ed Brown II ([email protected]) Welcome to Multimanifestations -- variations on a singular interdisciplinary theme: tradition-philosophy-democracy-psychology. Multimanifestations' primary goal is to provide paradigms that assist the reader to reDiscover, reDefine, reStore, and reVisit a normalcy that augments individuality and community. Multimanifestations' is a series of living paradigms. These living paradigms serve as a means to study and interpret culture and art from a local as well as global perspective. Locally and globally there is a call to derive a cross-cultural theory that protects diverse interests. Multimanifestations' discuses the behavioral and cognitive consistencies between developing/modern/postmodern individuals, peer groups, and communities. Multimanifestations' is also an archive literary work. In this website you will find my essays, poetry, and fiction (prose as well as plays). Towards Democracy by Edward Carpenter (1844 - 1929) LibriVox “Civilization sinks and swims, but the old facts remain—the sun smiles, knowing well its strength.” Edward Carpenter (1844-1929) wrote his prose poem, Towards Democracy, styled after Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, in a summer burst of creativity. “Early in 1881, no doubt as the culmination and result of struggles and experiences that had been going on, I became conscious that a mass of material was forming within me, imperatively demanding expression . . .” An English intellectual, Carpenter was in rebellion against Victorian prudery. Railing against Industrialization’s dehumanization, he preached a return to a simple life in harmony with Nature. Towards Democracy reads like Beat poetry—wild flowing word associations, moments of insight so clear they hurt, interspersed with pure rant! Included is an essay Carpenter wrote in 1894 explaining his intent and feelings in writing Towards Democracy. - Summary by Sue Anderson Essays in Idleness by Agnes Repplier (1855 - 1950) LibriVox Agnes Repplier was a popular and highly regarded essayist of the late 19th and early 20th century, who was also well known on the lecture circuit. Her writings are witty, erudite, and engaging. The eight essays in this collection include an homage to her cat Aggripina and reflections on the beauty of words, as well as essays entitled "The Children's Poets," "The Praises of War," "Leisure," "Ennui," "Wit and Humor," and "Letters." - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi Some American Storytellers by Frederic Taber Cooper (1864 - 1937) LibriVox Frederic Taber Cooper, who was an editor and author, provides a superb insight into the works of some of the most popular authors of the turn of the century decade.Excerpt: The subjects of the essays included in this volume differ widely in aim and in accomplishment; but all of them possess, to a considerable extent, the gift that makes them next of kin to the minstrel and troubadour, to the ancient fabulist, and to the forgotten spinner of the world s first nursery tales, the gift of holding the attention by the spell of the spoken word. - Summary by Celine Major
