John Farrell Book order

The book explores the tension between political utopias and the enduring influence of honor-based aristocratic cultures, which have shaped societal dynamics from ancient times to the early modern period. John Farrell examines how the competitive psychology rooted in status continues to affect contemporary society, highlighting the ongoing struggle between idealistic visions of governance and the realities of entrenched social hierarchies.

This book explores the logic and historical origins of a strange taboo that has haunted literary critics since the 1940s, keeping them from referring to the intentions of authors without apology. The taboo was enforced by a seminal article, “The Intentional Fallacy,” and it deepened during the era of poststructuralist theory. Even now, when the vocabulary of “critique” that has dominated the literary field is under sweeping revision, the matter of authorial intention has yet to be reconsidered. This work explains how “The Intentional Fallacy” confused different kinds of authorial intentions and how literary critics can benefit from a more up-to-date understanding of intentionality in language. The result is a challenging inventory of the resources of literary theory, including implied readers, poetic speakers, omniscient narrators, interpretive communities, linguistic indeterminacy, unconscious meaning, literary value, and the nature of literature itself.

The purpose behind the writing of this book is twofold; one, is to show that even though some may not believe that there's a God, that personally I do. And I also believe that everything that presently exist on the earth and above the earth, was created by Him. Second, it is my hope that this inspirational book along with its secular content would be a means of enlightening the minds of those who truly need hope in their life. It will also endeavour to show, that apart from God, we as human beings are helpless to save ourselves spiritually. Our only hope then, is in the Son of God who gave his life, so that all of us can live. Hence, I thank Him for the inspiration that he has given me to compile these poems -THANK YOU God! -And thanks also to those friends and family alike whose interest I have gained throughout the years. My prayer is that all who read it's pages, may find hope and comfort in their life. GOD BLESS!
