Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Nicomachean Ethics," Aristotle presents a foundational text in the study of moral philosophy, meticulously exploring the nature of the good life and the cultivation of virtue. Through a methodical and pragmatic approach, Aristotle delves into key concepts such as happiness (eudaimonia), moral virtue, and the role of reason in ethical decision-making. The work stands out for its blend of rigorous analytic thought and relatable examples, situating the discussion in the context of the classical Greek polis. Its influence extends beyond philosophy into multiple disciplines, inviting rich dialogues on ethics and personal responsibility. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, draws upon his extensive experience in both philosophical inquiry and empirical observation to shape this pivotal ethical treatise. His familiarity with the political structures and moral dilemmas of ancient Greece informs his exploration of human behavior and the pursuit of a meaningful life. This work reflects his endeavor to synthesize the theoretical with the practical, grounded in his belief that ethics must permeate all aspects of human existence. Highly recommended for students of philosophy and anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of ethical principles, "Nicomachean Ethics" is an essential read. Aristotle'Äôs insights remain profoundly relevant, encouraging reflection on personal values and the pursuit of a virtuous life in contemporary society.

Broken - How Our Social Systems...

Paul LeBlanc

Many of the systems built to serve people instead do more harm than good. 
 
 
 
In Broken, Dr. Paul LeBlanc, president of Southern New Hampshire University, draws on his experience working in one such system—education—to reconnect us to the human facets of serving people. In doing so, he charts a course for rebuilding and reinhabiting better systems across education, healthcare, criminal justice, government, and more. 
 
 
 
The United States spends enormous sums on helping people—$3.8 trillion on healthcare, $182 billion on prisons, and $604 billion on higher education—and yet these systems routinely fail us. 
 
 
 
When we seek to improve how they function, our efforts focus on policy debates, technical solutions, funding, and data. But if these systems are to truly improve, we have to start with the human values that fuel decision making. 
 
 
  
Broken explores the deeply human dimensions we must consider—aspiring, discovering, mattering—if we want to rebuild the policies, technologies, processes, and, most importantly, the heart we use to serve people.

Lesbian Cuckold – Humiliating My...

Daniel P.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if your darkest desire was also the salvation of your relationship? 
 
Emma and Rose have been together for ten years. Ten years of love... and routine, of silence, of looks that no longer burn. Until a suspicious message on Rose's phone changes everything. Instead of breaking apart, Emma lets herself be carried away by an unexpected flood: the thrill of watching. Of spying. Of obeying. 
 
What starts as a suspicion turns into a dynamic of power, lust, and submission that awakens the deepest desires of both. Rose, dominant, cruel, and addicted to control, finds a new way to love through play, humiliation, and exposure. Emma, sweet, emotional, and insecure, discovers that being used, shared, and marked gives her something she thought she'd lost: pleasure... and belonging. 
 
This is an intense, uncensored erotic story about a couple's relationship reborn through pain, surrender, and consensual perversion. Featuring explicit scenes, BDSM dynamics, cuckolding, fetishes, and moments of deep emotional connection, this novel is not for sensitive readers. 
 
But if you dare to watch, feel, and surrender... welcome to this journey where love and humiliation dance to the same rhythm.
