Sinopse

We delve into The Function of Reason(In English, 2023 Revision).Prologue.Whitehead (1861-1947) is a philosopher from England. He asserts that reason is an impulse toward empty concreteness. That impulse is not empty. It is a fundamental force that can give birth to something. This impulse of mind is appetition, which is an inherent agent of transcendental goals. Therefore, empty concreteness is embodied as material enjoyment. Whitehead\'s reason cannot exist without appetition. Jeong Yi-cheon of the Northern Song Dynasty, who developed Neo-Confucianism, also believed that the main body cannot be separated from the phenomenon. Whitehead advocates Plato, stating that all of Western philosophy is just a footnote to Plato\'s philosophy. However, he overcomes Plato by creating his own organic philosophy. Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud are also critics of the Platonic system. Plato\'s original sin is his ideology that isolates humans from the world and alienates them for 2000 years. Idea corresponds to all phenomena in a monolithic and organic manner. Whitehead can be seen as a Copernican Übermensch. ‘The Function of Reason’ is a lecture given at Princeton University in 1929. This book provides an easy and condensed summary of a long and difficult text.

    All is fair in love and war. At least the Nazis thought so. They deployed sex like any other weapon in the service of the Third Reich. Al Camino examines many shocking cases, where brothels were hotbeds of bugging and blackmail, and pillow talk could topple nations. 
     
    Cases include: 
    - The bugging of Salon Kitty, a high-class brothel in Berlin which was taken over by the SS. 
    - Nazi spy Lilly Stein, a 'good-looking nymphomaniac' who slept with US men in order to blackmail them. 
    - Princess Stephanie Julianne von Hohenlohe, who used her intimate relationship with Lord Rothermere to get the British newspaper Daily Mail to support the Nazis in the 1930s 
     
    Full of intrigue and surprise, Nazi Sex Spies presents a fascinating history of a little-known aspect of World War II.

    What does it mean to be white? Beyond just a skin colour, is it also a way of thinking? If so, how did it come about, and why? 
     
    In this book, drawing on history, personal experience and activist literature, the former footballer and World Champion Lilian Thuram looks at the origins and workings of white thinking, how it divides us and how it has become ubiquitous and accepted without challenge. He demonstrates how centuries of white bias and denial justified slavery and colonialism, and have reinforced norms and structures of oppression, limiting the roles and horizons of both non-whites and whites alike. 
    Crucially, while White Thinking is a critique of ingrained structural inequities, it calls for an inclusive approach to solving the problem, and aims to raise awareness and imagine a new world in which all of humanity is given equal weight. 
    “White Thinking patiently demonstrates… how European societies, through their creation of Black people, also invented White people.” LE MONDE 
    “Strikes another blow in his battle against racial stereotypes.” LA VIE 
    “This book is not interested in repentance or white guilt but in the ability to face up to historical reality and to the fact that others might have a very different understanding of that history.” REVUE DES DEUX MONDES 
    “He is almost unique amongst retired sportspeople, having left his old life behind him in the dressing room. Today, the activist has replaced the footballer.” LIBÉRATION

    This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
    1: The Great Fire of London was a massive fire in the ominous year of 1666, which destroyed the homes of more than 80% of the city’s inhabitants, which was around 80,000 people back then. In this guide, we will go over how the fire most likely started, why it took such a toll on the London population, and why it kept growing without them being able to extinguish the flames in time. You will also learn about how the city was built up, how other competing countries saw the fire as a good thing, and how Christopher Wren helped rebuild churches and houses when it was all over.  
    Last but not least, you will discover how something else was even more disturbing at this time: The Great Plague of London, a horrible scourge which is believed to have killed more than 100,000 people, struck with ills from rats and a lack of hygiene, around the same time. Read about or listen to the horrors people in England were confronted with in the beginning of the 17th century. 
    2: From about 1858 to 1947, the British ruled over India. The raj carried out orders and came up with them. There was public mistrust and dissatisfaction about their regime, which led to protests, riots, and controversial events. India was a big part of the British Empire for a long time, until the country gained its independence. Other issues happened with the Bangladeshi and the Pakistani. 
    Let’s explore how the rule of the British raj evolved, how their power became stronger and weaker, and what the impact of the world wars was, the nationalist groups in India, and significant figures like Mahatma Gandhi.

    Colombia, located in the northwestern part of South America, is a country of remarkable geographical diversity and cultural richness. Bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela to the east, Brazil to the southeast, Peru to the south, Ecuador to the southwest, and Panama to the northwest, it stands as a bridge between the continents of North and South America. Its geographical expanse is characterized by lush rainforests, the majestic Andes mountains, vast plains, and a significant coastline. This diversity shapes the country’s economy, society, and political history, making it a land of both opportunities and challenges. 
    Colombia’s population is approximately 51 million, making it the third-most populous country in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico. The country’s people are as diverse as its landscape, with a population made up of mestizos, Afro-Colombians, indigenous groups, and a small percentage of people with European ancestry. This blend of cultures has contributed to the development of a rich, multifaceted society with deep-rooted traditions in music, dance, literature, and art. Cities like Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali are cultural hubs, while small towns across the country preserve indigenous practices and lifestyles that have been passed down through generations. 
    The political landscape of Colombia has been shaped by a complex history of colonization, independence, civil conflict, and efforts to modernize. Initially colonized by the Spanish in the early 1500s, Colombia gained independence in 1810. However, political fragmentation and civil war marked the country’s early years as a republic. It wasn’t until the mid-20th century that Colombia began to establish a more stable government, although violence from guerilla groups, drug cartels, and paramilitary forces has intermittently disrupted the peace.
