These first two decades of the 21st century have seen a resurgence in the completely natural and manly practice of beard-wearing. Where once a lush growth of facial hair was seen only as the purview of the primitive man and perhaps of those men concerned with the noble art and practice of lumberjackery, appreciation of a full complement of whiskers has come full circle. This amazing book, based on an 1870s lecture tour by an almost unknown pro-beard activist in Britain has finally found its place. It has found itself to be the Great Manifesto of the Beard Renaissance. Get back to basics, follow the Philosophy of Beards. Delivered in a larger 6 x 9 paperback format, this book belongs on the coffee table of every beard-wielding, or yet-to-be beard wielding man. Ladies, does your man refuse to embrace his birthright and grow a beard? This deadpan tome will provide you with enough ammunition to nag that boy in your life into finally becoming a man. Fellas, does the love of your life express an almost unbelievable disdain for the very idea of you sporting the majestic chin-beaver? Simply slip this convincingly argumentative literary masterpiece into her handbag or under her pillow and watch with wonder as the scales of ignorance fall from her eyes.
Philosophy begins, Aristotle said, with wonder; it addresses the great questions of life. This process of self-discovery through philosophy leads one to ask questions not only about human existence but also about God. In Philosophy: The Quest for Truth and Meaning,Andrew Beards introduces readers to some key philosophical ideas 'the mind's ability to know truth and reality, metaphysics, ethics, and questioning life's ultimate purpose 'in order to guide them in philosophical reflection. By examining the development of philosophy, Beards demonstrates and makes a case for the interplay of faith and reason. Andrew Beards, PhD, is reader in philosophy and director of the distance-learning B.A. Philosophy and the Catholic Tradition program at Maryvale Institute, an international institute for philosophy and theology based in Birmingham, UK.
This eccentric Victorian book argues a strong case for the universal wearing of a beard – that essential symbol of manly distinction since ancient times. Thomas S. Gowing contrasts the vigour and daring of bearded men through history with the undeniable effeminacy of the clean-shaven. He reminds the modern man that and 'ladies, by their very nature, like everything manly and ', and cannot fail to be charmed by a and 'fine flow of curling comeliness and '.
Reminding us that since ancient times the beard has been an essential symbol of manly distinction, Thomas S. Gowing (whom we trust had a spectacular beard) presents a moral case for eschewing the bitter bite of the razor. He contrasts the vigor and daring of the bearded-say, lumberjacks and Lincoln-with the undeniable effeminacy of the shaven. Manliness is found in the follicles, and the modern man should not forget that "ladies, by their very nature, like everything manly," and cannot fail to be charmed by a fine "flow of curling comeliness." Even old men can hold on to their vitality via their beards: "The Beard keeps gradually covering, varying and beautifying, and imparts new graces even to decay, by highlighting all that is still pleasing, veiling all that is repulsive." A truly strange polemic, The Philosophy of Beards is as charming as it is bizarre, the perfect gift for the manly man in your life.
Reigning world champion of beards, Jack Passion, takes the reader through the lifecycle of growing, grooming, getting rid of facial hair. The decision to grow, how to style, and even what to say to women who don't like a beard are all topics covered in the most definitive guide to facial hair ever written.
