Logic as the Science of the Pure Concept - Enriched edition

Benedetto Croce

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Logic as the Science of the Pure Concept," Benedetto Croce presents a nuanced exploration of logic as a vital philosophical discipline that transcends mere formalism. The text argues for a conception of logic deeply intertwined with aesthetics and ethics, emphasizing the role of human creativity in the formation of concepts. Written in Croce's distinctive lyrical style, the book advocates for a dynamic interpretation of logic that sees it as a living, evolving science rather than a static set of rules, reflecting the broader context of early 20th-century thought that grappled with the implications of idealism and the limitations of empiricism. Benedetto Croce (1866-1952), an influential Italian philosopher and historian, was driven by the belief that philosophy should address the complexities of human experience. His commitment to idealist thought and the dialectical method is evidenced in this work, which draws upon his extensive background in aesthetics and historical materialism. Croce's multifaceted career as a political figure and a cultural critic further informs his insights, positioning him as a central figure in the revival of philosophical inquiry in post-Risorgimento Italy. Highly recommended for scholars and students alike, Croce's treatise offers a profound reexamination of logic that challenges preconceived notions and invites readers to engage with concepts in a novel way. By bridging the gap between abstract reasoning and the lived experiences of individuals, this work not only enriches our understanding of logic but also redefines its significance within the broader spectrum of human thought.

How to Be Forgiving

Olivia Werner

[How to Be Forgiving] delves into the intricate landscape of human emotion with unflinching honesty and profound insight, examining the peculiar way we hold onto hurts like rain-soaked clothes, heavy and familiar against our skin. Through intimate prose that reads like a confession shared between friends, this meditation on forgiveness illuminates the small, daily acts of letting go that shape our capacity for healing. The book's revolutionary perspective challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that forgiveness isn't a destination but rather a continuous practice, like breathing – something we need to do consciously at first, then naturally, until it becomes part of who we are. With its lyrical exploration of the stories we tell ourselves and the weight of unspoken words, this guide transforms our understanding of what it means to forgive, revealing how the journey toward release becomes an act of self-liberation rather than a gift bestowed upon others.

Colonialism and Imperialism -...

Arlo Holders

This book consists of three titles, which are the following: 
  - The Colonial Legacy: Colonialism has been a defining force in shaping the modern world, leaving an indelible mark on political systems, economic structures, and cultural identities. At its core, colonialism is the practice of domination, where one nation establishes control over another, often exploiting its resources and people for economic and political gain. While the phenomenon of colonialism spans centuries, its modern form gained momentum during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, when European powers began venturing across the globe in search of wealth, land, and influence. 
  
  - Imperialism and Its Legacy: The rise of modern imperialism coincided with the emergence of powerful European states, including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Italy, who sought to expand their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These empires often operated on the belief in a hierarchy of races and cultures, with European nations placing themselves at the top, justifying their domination as a benevolent act for the supposed betterment of “lesser” civilizations. 
  - The Age of Imperialism: At its core, imperialism was driven by a combination of motives that included economic gain, political power, and a belief in cultural superiority. Industrialization played a pivotal role in shaping these ambitions, as European powers sought raw materials to fuel their growing industries and markets to sell their manufactured goods. The technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution, such as steamships, railways, and advanced weaponry, gave European nations a significant edge in their quest to dominate foreign lands.
