Synopsis

The Constitution of the Athenians, also called The Athenian Constitution is a work by Aristotle or one of his students. The work describes the constitution of Athens. It is preserved on a papyrus roll from Hermopolis, published in 1891 and now in the British Library. A small part of the work also survives on two leaves of a papyrus codex, discovered in the Fayum in 1879 and now in the papyrus collection of the Ägyptisches Museum in Berlin.

Aristotle  (384–322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy within the Lyceum and the wider Aristotelian tradition. His writings cover many subjects including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, meteorology, geology, and government. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. It was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion.

    A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias 
     
     
     
    So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias—and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right. 
     
     
     
    In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity—an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this book describes how "fast" and "slow" thinking work together in everyday life; 
    diagnoses when we're most vulnerable to distorted thinking; 
    considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias; reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; and recommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God's wisdom about our ourselves and others.

    Everything you do and think is controlled by others. Everything you buy. Your work. Your beliefs. Everything is part of a false reality created to control. 
     
    Humanity has no idea it is in fact caught in a massive lie. It is trapped by it’s own inner desires and follows the will of those in power. 
     
    Society is a mirror of man and society is a lie that is far removed from our natural origins. Every country on this planet is being oppressed by clever and powerful elite groups that have been building their empires for centuries. 
     
    They feed us lies and we believe. Eventually we become so deluded we can no longer even see it. 
     
    But there are some who can still see clearly and understand that we live in the ultimate Grand Delusion.
