  After Stoicism - Last Words of...

  The Stoic philosophers of antiquity recognized something we often forget. Good fortune does not guarantee happiness, and bad fortune does not guarantee misery. Boethius was the last philosopher of ancient Rome and a Christian theologian. He was also an illustrious senator who suffered a spectacular reversal of fortune. Falsely accused of treason and sentenced to death, he spent several months in prison awaiting his execution. For consolation he turned to the Stoics he had spent his life studying. They helped him to remember that the good things he once enjoyed—wealth, power, fame—could not make him truly happy. Also, that the injustice he suffered need not make him miserable. But the Stoics were not the only philosophers Boethius sought for consolation. The Stoics had taught that the highest happiness we can hope for is tranquility—serene indifference despite all the trials of life. But for Boethius, tranquility was not enough. He reached for something beyond Stoicism. Something that promised true happiness, come what may. This book is a guide through Boethius’s The Consolation of Philosophy. It shows how Boethius, in his darkest hour, took everything noble from Stoicism and fused it with a rational and religious conviction that there is a hope for happiness through and beyond the suffering of this life.

  The Rise of Nazi Germany - How...

  Sage Winters

  The rise of Nazi Germany is a tale deeply rooted in the tumultuous conditions following World War I, when Germany was thrust into a period of economic collapse, social disarray, and political chaos. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, aimed to punish Germany for its role in the war, imposing harsh reparations and territorial losses that humiliated the nation. This punitive treaty left the German people feeling betrayed, their economy in ruins, and their national pride shattered. The Weimar Republic, established in 1919, was meant to provide a democratic alternative, but it struggled from the outset. Political extremism, rampant inflation, and unemployment crippled the fledgling democracy, leaving it vulnerable to authoritarian ideologies. 
    
  Amid this backdrop of suffering and instability, Adolf Hitler emerged as a figure who would exploit the widespread discontent. Born in Austria in 1889, Hitler’s early life was marked by struggle and obscurity. He moved to Munich in the early 1910s, where he became involved in nationalist politics. His service in World War I, where he was wounded, further shaped his worldview, and he developed a deep sense of resentment toward the Treaty of Versailles, which he believed had unfairly punished Germany. Hitler’s fervent nationalism, combined with a distorted racial ideology, began to form the core of his future political movement. 
    
  In the early 1920s, Hitler joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), a small but growing political group. His powerful oratory skills and intense charisma quickly made him the party’s leader. Hitler’s ability to tap into the frustration and fear of the German people gave him a platform to spread his ideas of racial superiority, anti-Semitism, and militaristic expansion. His rise coincided with the economic devastation caused by the Great Depression, which further destabilized Germany and provided fertile ground for Nazi propaganda.
