04:39:38 - 13 - Ch. 5: The Humanists of the Nineteenth Century, Pt. 2
This book is a brief, but cogent discussion of Western philosophy-- from Francis Bacon and Giordano Bruno through Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, Hume, Berkeley and Kant, the German idealists and Hegel, and ending with such nineteenth century luminaries as Mill, Spencer, and Nietzsche. Enchanted with Copernicus, Bruno goes to the stake for positing an infinity of inhabited worlds. Descartes, a professed skeptic, manages to justify everything the Jesuits taught him at La Flèche, while Spinoza, in mystical awe, envisions a pantheistic cosmos in which thought and extension are one and the same thing--God. The British philosopher, A.W. Benn, presents each thinker biographically and within the context of his philosophical predecessors and contemporaries. (Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

Celebrated Crimes, Vol. 6: Part 2: The Man in the Iron Mask by Alexandre DUMAS (1802 - 1870), translated by George Burnham IVES (1856 - 1930)
Genre(s): Biography & Autobiography, True Crime
Read by: John Van Stan in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 01 - Section 1
00:19:21 - 02 - Section 2
00:38:14 - 03 - Section 3
00:54:39 - 04 - Section 4
01:14:18 - 05 - Section 5
In the late 1600s a man was doubly-imprisoned: his body in an iron cell and his face in an iron mask. Who the 'man in the iron mask' was, why he was imprisoned, and how he was treated during imprisonment, remains a mystery that has captivated historians for centuries. Before Dumas penned the final volume of his D'Artagnan Romances, 'The Man in the Iron Mask,' he wrote that 'everything connected with the masked prisoner arouses the most vivid curiosity.' This essay is a comprehensive summary of theories regarding the masked prisoner's identity and history from the 1770s to Dumas' time (1840s). - Summary by jvanstan

Principles of Geology: being an attempt to explain the former changes of the Earth's surface, by reference to causes now in operation is a book by the Scottish geologist Charles Lyell, first published in 3 volumes in 1830-1833.Lyell used geology throughout as a basis to strengthen his argument for Uniformitarianism. He used geological proof to determine that the Earth was older than 6,000 years, as had been previously contested. The book shows that the processes that are occurring in the present are the same processes that occurred in the past.
