From the back:
What is Pure Love?
The infinite eternal spiritual good that all earthly loves partake of insofar as they truly love.

Art History Christmas Cards
Cover one of four Christmas-themed paintings by Caravaggio, Bruegel, Rembrandt, & Some Unknown Master. A simple “Merry Christmas” greeting on card-open (see after picture for other greeting options); basic origin facts on the opposite page; and a charming literary sketch of the work’s historical background on the back.
.
From Back: “Oil on wood. This depiction of the nativity scene transmogrified into a 1500s Brabant (region in the Netherlands now part of the Flemish speaking side of Belgium) was painted during the artist’s years in Brussels. … ” Descriptions of All Art Cards.
Historical Christmas-themed paintings also Available as “Happy Holidays”.
A Very Something Deeperist Christmas Card
The revised version of this classic non-dogmatically spiritual Christmas card greets card-openers with a simple “Wishing You a Very Merry Shared Joy”, which is much shorter than the original version’s rather long-winded and perhaps excessively-preachy main page. Otherwise, the cards are identical. Web page of original card, including a critique of that version. From-Bartleby has more on Something Deeperism.
Philosophical Holiday Cards
Three version’s of the same basic idea: Wishing you an Academic holiday season — as in Plato’s Academy, where everyone contemplates the Form of the Good. All cards include concise but thorough discussions of Plato’s “Republic” and Bartleby Willard’s Something Deeperism (see From Bartleby for more on this positive but non-dogmatic worldview).
.
From the back: “In ‘The Republic’ Plato reasoned that humans had three parts: the reason-loving, the honor-loving, and the appetites-loving parts; and that of these three only the reason-loving part was fit to rule one’s thought as a whole (the honor-loving and appetites-loving parts just lust mindlessly after their respective goods; only the reason-loving part can step back and take the long view). …”
And finally, our Desperate Greeting Card is pretty out there, and not really occasion-specific.
