Aristotle

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "The Athenian Constitution," Aristotle offers a meticulous examination of the political structures and governance of Athens, blending empirical observation with sharp philosophical insight. Written in the 4th century BCE, this seminal text employs a descriptive and analytical literary style, presenting a systematic account of Athenian democracy, including its institutions, electoral processes, and social nuances. Aristotle's examination serves not only as a historical document but also as a foundational work in political philosophy, illuminating the complexities of civic life and governance in one of history's most influential city-states. Aristotle, one of the foremost philosophers of antiquity, was profoundly influenced by his experiences in the Athenian polis as well as the intellectual milieu of his time, particularly through his tutelage under Plato. His firsthand encounters with political dynamics, coupled with his rigorous philosophical training, give weight to his analysis, allowing him to delineate the virtues and flaws of democratic governance. Aristotle's objective approach also reflects his broader philosophical inquiry into ethics, politics, and human behavior, demonstrating how governance is a reflection of human nature. This essential read is recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the roots of democratic thought and the intricacies of governance. Aristotle's insights into civic responsibility and political structure remain profoundly relevant, inviting readers to reflect on the principles that underpin modern democracies and the timeless quest for justice and efficiency in governance.

The Future and You - Reflections...

Emma Gilligan

A Reminder of the Rights We Can't Afford to Forget -
Reflections on Freedom, Responsibility and What It Means to Be Human
What holds us together when the world feels fractured? In The Future and You, Emma Gilligan offers a quiet but powerful meditation on the enduring role of human rights and how they can ground us in a shifting world.
Written as a letter to her great-nephew and future generations, this deeply personal book draws on Gilligan’s lifelong commitment to global justice and moral responsibility, from the war-torn landscapes of Chechnya and Ukraine to the lecture halls of Indiana University. With clarity and purpose, she reflects on freedom, duty, dignity and the fragile beauty of being human.
Presented as a series of reflections, each centered on a fundamental human right, the book blends Gilligan’s values and lived experience to offer a framework for daily life.
This is not a manifesto or a memoir. It’s a reminder that we don’t exist in a vacuum and that courage, compassion and responsibility are already within us. We need only return to them.
The Future and You invites readers to remember that the freedoms to speak openly, move freely, live securely and be cared for are not guaranteed — they must be protected, practiced and passed on.
If you're seeking resilience, understanding or a sense of direction in uncertain times, you’ll find insight and reassurance woven throughout this concise yet powerful read. Gilligan’s whimsical illustrations add warmth and imagination to her call for introspection and renewal.
Emma Gilligan is an award-winning scholar and co-founder of the U.S. State Department’s Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group for Ukraine.

Playing Possum - How Animals...

Susana Monsó, Mark Rowlands

When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom. 
 
 
 
With humor and empathy, Susana Monsó tells the stories of ants who attend their own funerals, chimpanzees who clean the teeth of their dead, dogs who snack on their caregivers, crows who avoid the places where they saw a carcass, elephants obsessed with collecting ivory, and whales who carry their dead for weeks. Monsó, one of today's leading experts on animal cognition and ethics, shows how there are more ways to conceive of mortality than the human way, and challenges the notion that the only emotional reactions to death worthy of our attention are ones that resemble our own. 
 
 
 
Blending philosophical insight with new evidence from behavioral science and comparative psychology, Playing Possum dispels the anthropocentric biases that cloud our understanding of the natural world, and reveals that, when it comes to death and dying, we are just another animal.
