toys in the attic:
ideological
furnishings for the homeless
mind
Welcome to the premier entry inthe daurril on-line library. In addition to Parsons, this collection may soon include selections from Peter Berger, Avery Cardinal Dulles, Allen Watts, and Richard John Neuhaus.
Materials presented here are from a collection in progress. Entries are therefore indexed in different ways according to the stage of their development in the process. It is a process that begins with the OCR scanning of texts (some over 50 years old), then editing in MS Word, and then finally a conversion to HTML. The scope of individual content varies from single artices to nearly entire textbooks. In order to document and manage the effort, the site contains this representation of the Excel worksheets that guided me to place the final webpages. In some cases the reader will need to consults these to precisely locate himself in the final output, if he wants to start at the top.
The ultimate goal is in each case to have web pages corresponding to lowest sub-divisions of Parson's original work, fully indexed. That may take a while.
