Sinopsis

In "The History of Greek Philosophy (Vol. 1&2)", Alfred William Benn embarks on an ambitious exploration of the intellectual landscape of ancient Greece, meticulously charting the development of philosophical thought from its inception to the Hellenistic period. Through a critical lens, Benn employs a narrative style that synthesizes comprehensive historical analysis with philosophical rigor, providing readers with an accessible yet profound examination of key figures such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, while situating their contributions within the broader context of cultural and scientific advancements of the time. The work is characterized by its systematic approach, offering insights into the prevailing thoughts and methodologies that shaped Greek philosophy, emerging as a significant reference for both scholarly discourse and general readers alike. Benn, an eminent philosopher and historian, was influenced by the late 19th-century intellectual currents that sought to reconcile philosophy with science and history. His background in both liberal arts and critical theory, as well as his engagement with contemporary philosophical debates, equipped him with a unique perspective that reflects in his writings. This foundation not only informs his meticulous scholarship but also his desire to render complex ideas intelligible to a broader audience. For scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy, "The History of Greek Philosophy" is an indispensable work that illuminates the roots of Western thought. Benn's thorough analysis encourages readers to engage critically with the foundational ideas of Greek philosophers, fostering a deeper appreciation for their relevance in contemporary discussions. This two-volume set is essential for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of where philosophical inquiry began and how it continues to influence modern intellectual landscapes.

    How medieval architects drew cathedral building plans
    The architectural history of the Middle Ages is full of surprises. It is difficult for us to imagine today that relatively few construction plans have been found for the impressive churches and cathedrals of the Romanesque and Gothic periods. Where did most of the drawings go? Have the plans been destroyed in Europe or lost over time? Or were they not made at all? 
    Although hardly any architectural drawings exist, there were numerous compasses. What were they used for and how? Was it possible to design complex buildings such as churches and cathedrals without blueprints? 
    The author takes her readers on an exciting cultural and historical journey through time. 
    She looks at the spread of papyrus, parchment and paper and traces the ability to write and calculate in Europe. She also looks at the construction process in historical illustrations and draws comparisons with Arabic architecture. Last but not least, she shows what types of compasses existed and how the drawing skills of master builders developed up to the Renaissance. 
    The insights into the history of architecture lead to surprising findings: The architects of the Middle Ages thought and planned very differently than we imagine today.

    Manifesting Justice - Wrongly...

    When Valena Beety first became a federal prosecutor, her goal was to protect victims, especially women, from cycles of violence. What she discovered was that not only did prosecutions often fail to help victims, they frequently relied on false information, forensic fraud, and police and prosecutor misconduct. 
     
     
      
    Seeking change, Beety began working in the Innocence Movement, helping to free factually innocent people through DNA testing and criminal justice reform. Manifesting Justice focuses on the shocking story of Beety's client Leigh Stubbs—a young, queer woman in Mississippi, convicted of a horrific crime she did not commit because of her sexual orientation. Beety weaves Stubbs's harrowing narrative through the broader story of a broken criminal justice system. 
     
     
      
    Drawing on interviews with both innocence advocates and wrongfully convicted women, along with Beety's own experiences as an expert litigator and a queer woman, Manifesting Justice provides a unique outsider/insider perspective. Beety expands our notion of justice to include not just people who are factually innocent, but those who are over-charged, pressured into bad plea deals, and over-sentenced. The result is a riveting and timely book that will transform our very ideas of crime and punishment, what innocence is, and who should be free.
