The conversation of Adam and Eve in Paradise Lost, that most obvious of Milton''s additions to the Biblical narrative, enacts the pair''s inquiry into and discovery of the gift of their rational nature in a mode of discourse closely aligned to practices of Socrates in the dialogues of Plato and eponymous discourses of Xenophon. Adam and Eve both begin their life \"much wondering where\ And what I was, whence thither brought and how.” Their conjoint discoveries of each other''s and their own nature in this talk Milton arranges for a in dialectical counterpoise to his persona''s expressed task \"to justify the ways of God to men.\" Like Xenophon''s Socrates in the Memorabilia, Milton''s persona indites those \"ways of God\" in terms most agreeable to his audience of \"men\"––notions Aristotle calls \"generally accepted opinions.\" Thus for Milton''s \"fit audience\" Paradise Lost willpresent two ways––that address congenial to men per se, and a fit discourse attuned to their very own rational faculties––to understand \"the ways of God to men.\" The interrogation of each way by its counterpart among the distinct audiences is the \"great Argument\" of the poem.

The universe embraces with sensual presence. No thought, no word is needed to behold sky, sun, moon, stars. It is not in reflection but in experi ence that one inhales the earthy smells of damp woods, becomes dizzy under the sweep of the starry night sky, basks in the sun''s warmth, rolls in ocean breakers, tastes salt. The sensual universe is open, available, immediate. But beneath its sensuality, the universe has an interior landscape that lies hidden. Though veiled, the inner nature of the cosmos draws us. It invites us to find the underlying source of the motions of sun, moon, and stars, search out the primal form of all matter, and discover the unity beneath the diversity of the earthy substances that excite the senses. The inner nature of the cosmos is a landscape of exquisite beauty which appropriately underlies the exterior splendor of our experience. This interior landscape of matter and motion which lies both in and beyond the senses-the physical face of the universe-is mathematical.

This is the first of two volumes dedicated to palliative care for patients with non-cancer diseases, to help health professionals, students and society in general, to find strategies to provide better care to these patients. Were invited professionals and researchers of recognized international merit, who have collaborated with the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in the training in palliative care of our students. In this first volume, we will address the interventions among patients with progressive neurological disease, AIDS and the critical patient (emergency and intensive care). In the second issue, we will cover palliative care in patients with chronic heart, respiratory and renal disease. Manuel Luís Capelas, PhD, Assistant Professor at the Institute of Health Sciences of UCP and Codirector of the Portuguese Observatory for Palliative Care This work is a relevant and timely contribution in strengthening knowledge about Palliative Care in groups of patients traditionally excluded from our services, such as those with non-cancer and degenerative diseases, but including those who use services as diverse as intensive care and emergency services. It is important, on this occasion, to leave a word of deep thanks and appreciation to the experts involved in the preparation of this book. Duarte Soares, President of the Portuguese Association for Palliative Care
