Summary

Alfred William Benn's "The History of Greek Philosophy" (Volumes 1 & 2) offers a comprehensive and critical examination of the evolution of philosophical thought in ancient Greece. Structured thematically rather than chronologically, Benn meticulously explores the contributions of pre-Socratic thinkers, Socrates, and the later philosophical schools. His prose is both eloquent and precise, blending rigorous scholarship with an accessible narrative style that invites readers into the complex world of Greek intellectual culture. The work contextualizes philosophy within the broader tapestry of Greek history, art, and science, making it a vital resource for understanding how these interconnected domains influenced one another. Alfred William Benn was a profound thinker himself and a notable figure in late 19th and early 20th-century philosophy. His background as a scholar of both philosophy and history deeply informed his writing. Benn's desire to trace the origins and development of philosophical thought stems from a commitment to elucidating the profound impact of ancient Greek ideas on modern intellectual discourse, reflecting his belief in the relevance of philosophy to contemporary issues. This two-volume work is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations of Western thought. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Benn'Äôs insights enriching, as he not only documents the historical figures and texts but also engages with the philosophical questions that continue to resonate today.

    Earl Shoaff (March 21, 1916 - September 6, 1965) was a motivational speaker and entrepreneur. Shoaff was very influential in the early life of inspirational speaker Jim Rohn. At the age of 25, Rohn heard a "laws of success" lecture given by Shoaff and went to work for him. Rohn’s later work helped launch or further the career of many others in the personal development industry, including Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, and Jack Canfield. This recording is from a public lecture that Shoaff gave in the early 1950’s, and it is called “How To Become A Millionaire.”

    This 2 in 1 combo contains the following titles: 
1 - Age of Enlightenment: Finally…finally, humanity began to wake up. Finally, they decided to take science, knowledge, politics, development, multiple angles and perspectives, and the details of our everyday lives a bit more seriously. For centuries, raw and primal urges and principles had taken hold of conquerors, officials, and governments. But there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Humanity just needed to acknowledge knowledge. It needed to value the art of studying phenomena and learning, not just spiritual notions and religion. Welcome to the book about how this happened. Welcome to a glimmer of hope in humanity’s realization of what this world is and what lies in the elements yet to be discovered. 
2 - Renaissance: When we think of the Renaissance, we often think of paintings. And indeed, many painters and sculptors were part of the artistic transformation the Renaissance caused. But there was more. The Renaissance basically formed a period of collective enlightenment and freedoms that put an end to certain tyrannies and false notions from the Middle Ages. 
The Renaissance is a time in European history marking the shift from the Middle Ages to modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries, identified by an effort to restore and exceed ideas and accomplishments of classical antiquity. It happened after the crisis of the late Middle Ages and was related to great social change. Aside from the basic periodization, advocates of a "long Renaissance" might put its start in the 14th century and its end in the 17th century.
