Nicomachean Ethics - Enriched edition Complete Edition

Aristotle

Beschreibung

Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" stands as a foundational text in Western ethical philosophy, providing a systematic inquiry into the nature of the good life and moral virtue. Written in a clear, systematic style, Aristotle explores concepts such as happiness (eudaimonia), moral virtue, and the importance of friendship, weaving together empirical observations with profound philosophical reasoning. Set in the context of Ancient Greece, this work reflects the rich intellectual tradition of the time, engaging with Socratic ideas while proposing a unique virtue ethics framework, emphasizing the cultivation of character over mere adherence to rules. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, draws on his extensive empirical studies and philosophical debates, offering insights shaped by a lifetime of inquiry into human behavior and the natural world. His experiences within the Athenian philosophical community and his practical concerns about the nature of human happiness informed his exploration of ethics as a practical pursuit, one intimately connected to human flourishing. This essential text is highly recommended for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of moral philosophy. "Nicomachean Ethics" is not only a cornerstone of ethical thought but also offers timeless wisdom applicable to contemporary life. It invites readers to reflect on their own values and the virtues necessary for a fulfilling existence.

Sociopathy and Scams -...

Wesley Felt

This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: 
Book 1 -  Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. 
When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. 
In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally. 
Book 2 - Influence, at its core, means having the power to affect people or situations. Subconsciously, we are constantly influenced and are influencing others through countless factors that impact our decisions. Even something as mundane as choosing toothpaste involves a myriad of external influences. Influence is a universal phenomenon, not confined by species or origin. Although the factors that contribute to influence might seem endless, social scientists have identified fewer than ten key aspects. This book will explore how to effectively influence others to achieve your desired outcomes.

Overdue - Reckoning with the...

Amanda Oliver

Who are libraries for, how have they evolved, and why do they fill so many roles in our society today? 
 
 
 
Based on firsthand experiences from six years of professional work as a librarian in high-poverty neighborhoods of Washington, DC, as well as interviews and research, Overdue begins with Oliver's first day at an "unusual" branch: Northwest One. 
 
 
 
Using her experience at this branch allows Oliver to highlight the national problems that have existed in libraries since they were founded: racism, segregation, and class inequalities. These age-old problems have evolved into police violence, the opioid epidemic, rampant houselessness, and lack of mental health care nationwide—all of which come to a head in public library spaces. 
 
 
  
Can public librarians continue to play the many roles they are tasked with? Can American society sustain one of its most noble institutions? 
 
 
 
Pushing against hundreds of years of stereotypes, romanticization, and discomfort with a call to reckoning, Overdue will change the way you think about libraries forever.
