Music, Sexuality and the Enlightenment explains how Mozart''s music for Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte ''sounds'' the intentions of Da Ponte''s characters and their relationships with one another. Mozart, by way of the infinitely generative and beautiful logic of the sonata principle, did not merely interpret Da Ponte''s characterizations but lent them temporal, musical forms. Charles Ford''s analytic interpretation of these musical forms concerns processes and structures in detail and at medium- to long-term levels. He addresses the music of a wide range of arias and ensembles, and develops original ways to interpret the two largely overlooked operatic genres of secco recitative and finales. Moreover, Ford presents a new method by which to relate musical details directly to philosophical concepts, and thereby, the music of the operas to the inwardly contradictory thinking of the European Enlightenment. This involves close readings of late eighteenth-century understandings of ''man'' and nature, self and other, morality and transgression, and gendered identities and sexuality, with particular reference to contemporary writers, especially Goethe, Kant, Laclos, Rousseau, Sade, Schiller, Sterne and Wollstonecraft. The concluding discussion of the implied futures of the operas argues that their divided sexualities, which are those of the Enlightenment as a whole, have come to form our own unquestioned assumptions about gender differences and sexuality. This, along with the elegant and eloquent precision of Mozart''s music, is why Figaro, Giovanni and Così still maintain their vital immediacy for audiences today.

This monumental novel, divided into four separate books, celebrates the end of an era, the irrevocable destruction of the comfortable, predictable society that vanished during World War I.

"In The Search for Meaning: A Short History Ford explores eight approaches human beings have pursued over time to invest life with meaning and to infuse order into a seemingly chaotic universe. These include myth, philosophy, science, postmodernism, pragmatism, archetypal psychology, metaphysics, and naturalism. Ford distills these systems to their bare essentials, answering such questions as, What difference does it make to see the world from a religious point of view or from the perspective of a naturalist? How does a scientific worldview compare with a philosophical one? Ranging widely over intellectual history, Ford investigates the contributions of the Greeks, Kant, and William James, among others, and brings the discussion up to date with contemporary thinkers such as Huston Smith, James Hillman, and Joseph Campbell. The Search for Meaning is an invaluable tool for understanding both the ways people acquire a sense of meaning and the root causes of intractable ethical, political, and cultural conflicts."--BOOK JACKET

This is a history written from the viewpoint of the Fords about what happened before, during, and after The Sanctuary Review Committee, which took place at Glacier View Ranch, Colorado, U.S.A., from August 10-15, 1980. This series of meetings is commonly referred to as the Glacier View conference. Wayne Judd and Adrian Zytkoskee, professorial colleagues, had asked Ford to take an Adventist Forum meeting at Pacific Union College, entitled ''The Investigative Judgment--Theological Milestone or Historical Necessity.'' This took place on October 27, 1979, as a debate with another professor, Dr. Eric Syme. Syme essentially agreed with Ford. The Forum challenged the Adventist doctrine of the investigative judgment, as commonly taught--a counterview that had often been propounded by Adventist scholars who knew the Biblical languages. The result was that Ford had his contract at P.U.C. broken, was pulled out of class, and called to Adventist General Conference headquarters in Washington D.C. He was given six months to write up his 991-page paper ''Daniel 8:14 the Day of Atonement, and the Investigative Judgment''. Administrators and scholars deliberated for a week and the General Conference PREXAD committee with two Australasian representatives met with the Fords. It was clear to the Fords on that Friday, August 15th, 1980, that Des would be defrocked, lose his job, and have his credentials removed. This happened officially on September 18, 1980, at an Australasian Division Executive meeting. Warren Johns, G.C. counsel, and Ken Eastman, Australasian Division solicitor, told Ford separately that he had a case to sue, but Des would never have sued the church.
