As a result, all knowledge of the universe can be obtained through scientific investigation. Naturalism refers to the notion that everything that exists is natural, and only natural laws and forces operate in the world. Through investigating the historical development of the state, Aristotle’s political philosophy claims that the state is a necessary and inevitable product of human nature and purpose.Īristotle’s exploration of the state occurs through the use of a naturalist teleology. ![]() ![]() Aristotle is often regarded as one of Plato’s greatest rivals in the history of political thought, and takes a markedly different approach to theorising the state, preferring to chart its evolution from more basic forms of association.

Straub wrote more than a dozen novels, three of which were adapted into films, and he is the author of countless other novellas, short stories, and poems. “It left me with a premature bolt of awareness of my own mortality, my physical fragility, and a sense that the world was not benign,” he said in a 2022 interview. Born in Milwaukee in 1943, Straub was struck by a car at age 7 - and it was this encounter with fate that launched a decades-long fascination with the supernatural. ![]() In celebration of his life - and, of course, Halloween - there’s no better time to reflect on his storied career in supernatural fiction. “Working with him was one of the great joys of my creative life.” “It’s a sad day because my good friend and amazingly talented colleague and collaborator, Peter Straub, has passed away,” wrote Stephen King on Twitter.

This is probably why adultery has long been a favourite topic for novelists, not to mention the press – the latter taking a feverish and prurient interest in the sexual shenanigans of those in the public eye. They cannot help but revel in seeing others cut down to size for violating norms that may inconveniently constrain their own behaviour. ![]() People can rarely resist a sexual scandal. ![]() ![]() "With pending cases concerning health care, marriage, campaign finance, privacy and voting rights, the Supreme Court has the power to affect every American in profound ways, and few people are better situated to discuss these dynamics than Jeffrey Toobin," said Tracy Campbell, co-director of the Ford Center.

I don’t want to get into a character analysis because if I even mention Remington Tate, I’ll lose my train of thought and I might never stop typing. Sexual tension/foreplay (although it felt more like sexual frustration to me )). This book is all that and more! It has lovable characters. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how phenomenal REAL truly is. I’m sleep deprived and in dire need of more Remy, so I want to get the apology out of the way right now. Just to warn you, I stayed up until 4 AM to finish this book – because reading it once just wasn’t enough – so I’m sorry if this review doesn’t make a lot of sense. REAL was like heaven packed into 266 pages. I tend to get annoyed by long reviews (unless they’re full of GIFs) so I’m going to do my best to keep this short. And I, for one, will remain eternally grateful to the literary gods that she introduced me to Remington (Remy) ‘Riptide’ freaking Tate. Seriously? Katy Evans’s first book? NO WAY! Call me skeptical, but if you’ve read this bundle of awesomeness it’s obvious the woman was born to write. What the heck did I just read? No really, what was that? My mind is blown because REAL can’t possibly be a debut novel. To add REAL to your Goodreads, simply click on the book cover below.
