Giving the Devil his Due


Book Description

Who is the 'Devil'? And what is he due? The Devil is anyone who disagrees with you. And what he is due is the right to speak his mind. He must have this for your own safety's sake because his freedom is inextricably tied to your own. If he can be censored, why shouldn't you be censored? If we put barriers up to silence 'unpleasant' ideas, what's to stop the silencing of any discussion? This book is a full-throated defense of free speech and open inquiry in politics, science, and culture by the New York Times bestselling author and skeptic Michael Shermer. The new collection of essays and articles takes the Devil by the horns by tackling five key themes: free thought and free speech, politics and society, scientific humanism, religion, and the ideas of controversial intellectuals. For our own sake, we must give the Devil his due.




The Devils


Book Description

Undoubtedly the most notorious title in director Ken Russell’s controversial filmography, The Devils (1973) caused a real furor on its initial theatrical release, only to largely disappear for many years. This Devil’s Advocate considers the film’s historical context, as the timing of the first appearance of The Devils is of particular importance, its authorship and adaptation (Russell’s auteur reputation aside, the screenplay is based on John Whiting’s 1961 play of the same name, which was in turn based on Aldous Huxley’s 1952 book The Devils of Loudun), and its generic hybridity. Darren Arnold goes on to examine the themes prevalent in the film—this is the only film of Russell’s which the director considered to be political—and considers the representation of gender and sexuality, gender fluidity, and how sex and religion clash to interesting and controversial effect. He concludes by revisiting the film’s censorship travails and the various versions of The Devils that have appeared on both big and small screens, and the film’s legacy and influence.

DEVILS


Book Description

When the night settles, And the wolf howls at its moon, The murk shall devour the sky, The Lands shall cry, A forever midnight will besiege the ticking of time, For the Devils only come out at midnight. Angels will fall, And the Devils will rise. For every end shall have a new beginning. - Aeon, Ruler of the Great Beyond “Everyone believes that there are two kinds of devils – ones that come from above and the ones that come from below. The ones that come from below seek vengeance upon the mortal world. The ones that come from above seek redemption amongst the living. But I personally believe in the third kind of devils, who seek both – redemption and vengeance. These devils are us – the living creatures.”: SPAR 84 “You were brave to enact and try to bring things in order, but you messed up. Someone needed to clean up that mess of yours: Destiny chose me”: Yanat “Evil cannot be suppressed, it can only be delayed”: VEH 8462
