The Many Faces of Philosophy: Reflections from Plato to Arendt
Philosophy is a dangerous profession, risking censorship, prison, even death. And no wonder: philosophers have questioned traditional pieties and threatened the established political order. Some claimed to know what was thought unknowable; others doubted what was believed to be certain. Some attacked religion in the name of science; others attacked science in the name of mystical poetry; some served tyrants; others were radical revolutionaries.

The Mind of Gladstone - Religion, Homer, and Politics
William Ewart Gladstone, four times Prime Minister of the United Kingdom under Queen Victoria, was not only the most celebrated British statesman of his day but also a respected theologian and a dedicated scholar of the ancient Greek poet Homer. By examining the development of his ideas, this book reveals that his political thought as leader of the Liberal party intertwined with his religion and classical scholarship.
Susan Doran describes and analyses the process of the Elizabethan Reformation, placing it in the English and the European context. She examines the religious views and policies of the Queen, the making of the 1559 settlement and the resulting reforms. The changing beliefs of the English people are discussed and the fortunes of both Puritanism and Catholicism. Finally she looks at the strength and weaknesses of Elizabeth I as Royal Governor, and of the Church of England as a whole.
