Summary

"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.

    If you’ve ever wondered why people keep talking about Palestine, or the point of keeping up with a long-drawn conflict in the Middle East and what difference you could possibly make, this book is for you. Political analyst and podcaster Walid Jumblatt Abdullah takes on questions that Singaporeans have often raised about Palestine, laying out answers that clarify and inform. 
 
Walid examines myths (“Could Gaza Have Been Singapore?”) and sheds light on the double standards of Western powers, to whom human rights seem to matter, except for where Palestine is concerned. Explaining how the Palestinians have been systematically dehumanised for decades, the book highlights how they continue to exist nevertheless, their very existence an act of resistance. 
 
Why Palestine? is an illuminating starting point for newcomers to the issue, and a passionate primer that seasoned activists will welcome for capturing the heart and hope of a long-disenfranchised people and those who support them.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
In "Beyond Order" by Jordan B. Peterson, the acclaimed clinical psychologist and professor follows up on the success of his previous book, "12 Rules for Life," by presenting an additional 12 principles aimed at helping readers navigate the complexities of life. Peterson addresses the growing tendency of the human will to exert control over every aspect of existence, warning against the dangers of excessive security. He offers strategies to counteract cultural, scientific, and psychological forces pushing society toward tyranny. Instead, he encourages readers to tap into their instinctual capacity to find meaning and purpose, particularly in moments of powerlessness. 
While an overabundance of chaos can lead to instability and anxiety, unchecked order can stifle individuality and submission. "Beyond Order" serves as a guide to striking a balance between these two fundamental aspects of reality, providing a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Jordan B. Peterson's book invites readers to explore the delicate equilibrium between order and chaos in the pursuit of personal growth and well-being.

    Laws is Plato's last and longest dialogue. It is generally agreed that Plato wrote this dialogue as an older man, having failed in his effort in Syracuse on the island of Sicily to guide a tyrant's rule, instead having been thrown in prison 
 
The Classical Greek philosopher Plato was instrumental in the development of Western philosophy and science. Plato was born to an aristocratic family and was well-educated. He founded the Academy, one of the first institutions of higher learning, around 385 BC. Plato was highly influenced by his teacher, Socrates. Socrates was condemned to death after being accused of corrupting his young followers. After Socrates' death, Plato recorded several dialogues detailing what he remembered from Socrates' teachings and interactions with others. Almost everything known about Socrates comes from Plato's dialogues. Plato's writings have been revised and interpreted by a variety of publishers.
