Nicomachean Ethics

Aristotle

Sinopse

In "Nicomachean Ethics," Aristotle embarks on a profound exploration of moral philosophy, presenting a systematic framework for understanding the nature of the good life. Through a meticulous examination of virtue ethics, the text articulates the concept of eudaimonia (flourishing) as the ultimate aim of human existence. Aristotle employs a methodical approach, emphasizing the importance of character and the role of rationality in ethical decision-making. His literary style combines empirical observation with philosophical rigor, making it a seminal text in both ethics and moral psychology that has influenced countless philosophers throughout history. Aristotle, a towering figure of ancient Greek philosophy, was a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great. His diverse experiences and keen observation of human behavior deeply informed his ethical theories. Writing in the context of a rapidly evolving Athenian democracy, Aristotle sought to provide a framework that addressed both individual moral conduct and the social dimensions of ethics, thus bridging personal integrity with communal responsibility. "Nicomachean Ethics" is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of Western philosophy. Its insights into virtue and practical wisdom remain relevant, inviting contemporary reflection on moral character and ethical living. This work not only challenges readers to pursue a meaningful life but also equips them with the intellectual tools necessary for navigating the complexities of human morality.

The Night House - Folklore Fairy...

Danielle Dulsky

Fairy tales are more than mere bedtime stories; they are living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick.In The Night House, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today's world. Historically kept and passed on by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales by their supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial fantasies for women and children. Danielle illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter's noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their sacred age-old wisdom for new generations to uncover and explore. Her fresh and relevant commentary will support your kinship with the Earth, ancestors, and your own living myth. The Night House shows how a single fairy tale is actually a treasure box of coded knowledge and magickal practice that has remained largely intact, preserved under the floorboards of the Yaga's hut for us to find.

The Monster's Bones - The...

David K. Randall

In the dust of the Gilded Age Bone Wars, two vastly different men emerge with a mission to fill the empty halls of New York's struggling American Museum of Natural History: Henry Fairfield Osborn, a socialite whose reputation rests on the museum's success, and intrepid Kansas-born fossil hunter Barnum Brown. 
 
 
 
When Brown unearths the first Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils in the Montana wilderness, forever changing the world of paleontology, Osborn sees a path to save his museum from irrelevancy. With four-foot-long jaws capable of crushing the bones of its prey and hips that powered the animal to run at speeds of twenty-five miles per hour, the T. Rex suggests a prehistoric ecosystem more complex than anyone imagined. As the public turns out in droves to cower before this bone-chilling giant of the past and wonder at the mysteries of its disappearance, Brown and Osborn together turn dinosaurs from a biological oddity into a beloved part of culture. 
 
 
 
The Monster's Bones journeys from prehistory to present day, from remote Patagonia to the badlands of the American West to the penthouses of Manhattan. With a wide-ranging cast of robber barons, eugenicists, and opportunistic cowboys, New York Times bestselling author David K. Randall reveals how a monster of a bygone era ignited a new understanding of our planet and our place within it.
