Sinossi

The Analects of Confucius, a profound collection of sayings and ideas attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius, serves as a cornerstone of Confucian thought. Composed during the Warring States period, this text encapsulates a conversation-oriented literary style that facilitates deep ethical reflection and moral inquiry. It delves into core themes such as virtue, governance, familial respect, and societal harmony, illuminating the complexity of human relations and the pursuit of a just society. The work's aphoristic nature invites rich interpretation, making it a crucial text not only for philosophers but also for anyone grappling with the intricate facets of morality and leadership in personal and public spheres. The authorship of The Analects is attributed to followers of Confucius, whose teachings profoundly shaped East Asian intellectual traditions. The socio-political turmoil of the era likely propelled these disciples to document Confucius's wisdom in order to preserve his teachings amidst a landscape marked by moral relativism and chaos. This preservation can be seen as a powerful act of cultural continuity and an effort to strive toward ethical governance and interpersonal harmony, values that remain as relevant today as they were over two millennia ago. This book is an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and general readers interested in philosophy, ethics, and history. Whether you are exploring the roots of East Asian thought or seeking guidance in contemporary moral dilemmas, The Analects offers timeless wisdom that encourages introspection and dialogue. Engaging with this text promises to enrich your understanding of not just Confucianism, but also diverse pathways to humanism and ethical living.

    Political Choice in a Polarized...

    What motivates citizens to support one party over the other? Do they carefully weigh all of the relevant issues and assess which party or candidate best matches their own positions? Or do people look at politics as something more akin to a team sport—the specifics do not matter as long as you know what side your team is on? Answering these questions requires us to think about how much the average American knows about politics. Many scholars of public opinion believe that the majority of Americans only pay passing attention to politics. Thus the electorate's apparent lack of political competence presents a direct challenge to normative theories of democracy. How are citizens supposed to exert control over the government if they have no idea what is going on? 
     
     
     
    In Political Choice in a Polarized America, Joshua N. Zingher argues that these fears are overblown. Not only do individuals have core beliefs about what the government should or should not do, but individuals have become more likely to support the party that best matches their policy attitudes by both identifying as a member of that party and voting for that party in elections. However, as Zingher demonstrates, voters' ability to match their attitudes to a party or candidate varies according to signals sent by elites and increases as parties become more polarized.

    "The Analysis of Mind" is a book written by the British philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell, first published in 1921. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of the human mind and its various functions, and is considered one of Russell's most important and influential works. 
    In "The Analysis of Mind", Russell argues that the mind is not a single, unified entity, but rather a collection of distinct mental processes, such as perception, memory, imagination, and reasoning. He examines these processes in detail, exploring their underlying structures, functions, and relationships to one another. 
    Russell also discusses the relationship between mind and body, arguing against the traditional dualistic view that sees the mind and body as separate and distinct entities. He proposes a more holistic approach, in which mental and physical events are seen as part of a single, integrated system. 
    Throughout "The Analysis of Mind", Russell draws on a wide range of sources, including philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, and his writing is characterized by clarity and rigor. The book continues to be widely read and studied today, and remains an important contribution to the fields of philosophy and psychology.

    Chapter 1 
    How to regain your power after begging and pleading 
    How can you regain the power back after doing all the begging and pleading and crying and all that shit like that? 
      when you are begging and pleading and crying, understand that’s natural. It’s called the fear of loss, you have the fear of losing something. You might not notice that the person already mentally checked out on you for whatever reason only they can tell you.  
    This is what you can do to regain your power back: 
    1. Stop all that- because it’s not going to do any good. The more you beg and plead and do all this nice stuff and jump though all these monkey ass hoops for this person, they don’t care, they are not there mentally, their mind gone, so the best thing for you to do is stop, just stop. That’s the first thing you can do to start regaining your power back, stop all that. 
    2. Then what you want to do is Become independent- the more you don’t need that person, the more that person wants you. It’s backwards, its nature, it is set up that way. The more you don’t want something the more you get it. Kind of like rich people, they get richer because they are already rich, they are not working for money. But what I’m trying to tell you is this, when you don’t need them and you are self-reliant, and you are independent and you don’t need them for absolutely nothing, they’ll want you. Now this goes in business, whatever area of your life you want to place it in, when you don’t need it there it is. Really this is how you operate from a position of power, always remember people want what they can't have.

    “Whatever It Is I’m Against It”...

    In "Whatever It Is, I'm Against It," president emeritus of Macalester College Brian Rosenberg draws on decades of higher education experience to expose the entrenched structures, practices, and cultures that inhibit meaningful postsecondary reform, even as institutions face serious challenges to their financial and educational models. The book pinpoints factors that hinder the ability of United States colleges and universities to be creative and entrepreneurial amid calls to improve affordability, access, and equity for students. 
     
     
     
    Rosenberg illustrates internal and external dynamics that impede institutional evolution. Pressures such as declining enrollment, escalating costs, and an oversupply of PhDs in academia have long signaled a grave need for reform within a profession that lacks organizational flexibility, depends greatly on reputation and ranking, and retains traditions, from the academic calendar to grading systems, that have remained essentially the same for decades. 
     
     
     
    Rosenberg looks outside the United States system to find possible antidotes in innovative higher education models such as student-centered and experiential learning approaches. This thought-provoking work offers ample evidence for presidents, chancellors, deans, provosts, and faculty to consider as they plan to achieve institutional transformation.
