Sinopse

"Ancient Moral Advice" explores humanity's enduring quest for ethical guidance across cultures and millennia. Delving into historical manuscripts and scholarly analyses, the book examines virtue ethics in ancient Greece, duty-based ethics in Roman society, and communal harmony in early Asian philosophies. Modern readers will find relevance in how ancient civilizations codified morality, offering insights into navigating contemporary challenges. The book reveals universally valued principles like justice, compassion, wisdom, and courage that recur across diverse societies. One intriguing insight is the ancient Greek concept of eudaimonia, or flourishing, achieved through character development. Another is Roman Stoicism's emphasis on duty and acceptance, exemplified by Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. The book progresses from moral philosophy's historical development to detailed examinations of Greek virtue ethics, Roman Stoicism, and Asian moral frameworks, ultimately connecting these traditions and exploring their modern applications. This book is unique for its comparative approach, identifying shared values across different cultural contexts and integrating a practical outlook. By analyzing ancient moral systems, the book demonstrates how historical ethical frameworks can enrich current ethical discussions. It distinguishes itself by offering a systematic analysis of moral systems from different cultures, identifying both shared values and unique perspectives.

First Acts: A Black Playwright...

Kermit Frazier

Playwright and television writer Kermit Frazier grew up in southeast Washington, DC, during the Civil Rights era of the 1950s and 1960s. As a student at an all-Black elementary school, he was selected for a newly formed honors track at a predominantly white secondary school. Traveling a complex path, Kermit tore down segregation barriers, balanced on an academic pedestal, and battled an internal war of denial against his same-sex attractions. . . . Through a series of discrete yet interconnected chapters that each unfold through a different "aspect of perception," this memoir vividly describes a young Black man struggling with stereotypes, identity, and mild dyslexia while straddling two middle-class worlds, Black and white, and striving mightily not to be everyone's "other."

Kathrin Pissinger

Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
Who better to ask about soap magic than a psychic, right? Well, I'm not convinced either, but if the soap works on the magically inclined as well as on other people, then that's not an opportunity for me to waste. And this is how I ended up in a pile of pillows, with the psychic under me, over me, and pretty much all around me. And one day, an archaeologist might discover under all those pillows a position we haven't tried yet, but until then, this was more than I had actually hoped for. 
So, well, the third part of Soap Magic gets us through all the things lesbians can do to and with each other, including, but not limited to, pillow sex. Also conains soap.
