After reading Chapter 17 in our history book "Give me Liberty" by Eric Foner‚ I was fascinated by the farmers Revolt which took place around the late 1800’s and dealt with the growing debt‚ poverty and financial challenges of the farmers in the West and in the South. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that my fathers family had cotton farms in Paducah‚ Texas and were so poor but rich in land. I felt compelled to learn more and understand about the Farmers Alliance aka Populist Party.

In Chapter 10‚ Nous instructs Nature‚ Urania and Physis on what is to be the nature of Man. This creation of man marks the culmination of the creation of the cosmos. Man‚ according to Nous‚ is to be made in the image of the divine and thus will have a variation of Nous’s wisdom. He will be a composition of both the finite and the infinite. His mind will allow him to participate in the divine; however‚ since his body is made up of the elements his body will be finite. Because‚ mind and body are of
