As a philosopher Benedict Spinoza requires no introduction. When educator William Rabenort looked at Spinoza he saw an educator. This little book on educational theory is built on the thought of Spinoza. Rabenort covers the possibility of education and the elements of human nature on his way to an exploration of intellect. After considering the complications of personality, Rabenort arrives at the main thesis of his work, the criteria of education, based on Spinoza. Consistently cited as an essential step on the way of understanding education, this volume still fascinates with its insights.

William Louis Rabenort was a perennial educator. As a high school principal in New York, he wrote several works on educational issues, including the still widely used Rabenort’s Geography.

Daughter Zion's Trauma

Daughter Zion's Trauma offers a new critical reading of the Book of Lamentations through the lens of trauma studies. Through structural analysis and use of the concept of non-referential history as a heuristic lens, Yansen yields fresh insights into the book’s form, language, and larger "historical" significance. Utilizing insights from study of the rhetorical dimensions of the trauma process in cultural trauma, this study asserts that Lamentations strategically adapts certain religious traditions to ensure the survival of those whose voices it echoes.
