The Friendly Snowflake: A Fable of Faith, Love, and Family
No full textOriginally copyrighted in 1992. M. Scott Peck is the author of The Road Less Traveled. Christopher is his son, who volunteered to illustrate the book. Young Jenny is surprised by a friendly snowflake -- Harry -- who alights on her nose and, after a short stay, evaporates. Jenny is the poet, mystic, and believer, I would say. Her brother Dennis is the scientist who explains all that he can and calls the rest an accident. Jenny's winter musings lead her to wonder whether everything has a soul and whether the ocean is the heart of the world and if we all reincarnate. She is ready finally to believe that Harry may have evaporated and gone away but also may have come back through the dam and into Babcock Brook. She says good-bye and waves her hand. I'll see you again next year! There is some water damage to the translucent dust-jacket. Was it Harry that got to my book?This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)M. Scott Pec

The historical imagination of Christopher Dawson
No full textChristopher Dawson (1889-1970) was one of his generation's most
important historians and religious thinkers, and was a significant
influence on many contemporaries including T.S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis,
and Russell Kirk. This dissertation is a study of his most
fundamental ideas concerning history and culture.
Chapter one examines Dawson’s sociological view of history.
Convinced that history was more than a scientific enterprise, he
believed that the true historian is one who reaches beyond the
material world to understand the essence of history’s dynamics. In
this way, the world can be conceptualized as a united whole,
separated by regional differences as a result of environment, race,
material, psychological, and religious factors. Dawson believed
that the political histories of the past several centuries failed to
grasp the undercurrents of historical change, and that the best way
to understand the past is to appreciate culture as an expression of
primeval religious traditions.
Chapter two treats Dawson’s understanding of progress. Dawson
was convinced that progress had become the “working-religion” of our
age. This secular faith, founded on scientific rationalism, first
pledged to fix the material failures of Western culture, but
unwittingly eroded its faith in God, and eventually, its moral
fiber. Dawson believed that true progress was progress of the soul
in its ordering toward the Creator.
Chapter three is a study of Dawson’s Christian, and more
specifically, his Catholic beliefs. Informed by religion, his
historical and cultural visions are not dogmatic, nor are they
polemical. He conceived of history as the unfolding of a divine
economy in the temporal world. Although Dawson is a proponent of
Roman Catholicism, his scholarship is an objective treatment of
history shaped by an undisguised, Christian worldview.
Additionally, the appendix is an introduction to Dawson’s life
and the circumstances surrounding his conversion to Roman
Catholicism. Particular attention is paid to the development of his
moral and historical imagination — both of which became intertwined to
form the basis of all of his scholarship
