Summary

In "The Philosophy of Giambattista Vico," Benedetto Croce delves into the intricate tapestry of Vico's thought, elucidating how history, culture, and language interweave in the development of human consciousness. Croce employs a nuanced literary style that marries philosophical rigor with historical context, enabling a profound exploration of Vico's rejection of the rationalism of his contemporaries. He presents Vico's concept of "verum ipsum factum," emphasizing that truth is not merely discovered but is also created through the human experience, showcasing Vico's importance within the intellectual currents of the 18th century and his influence on modern philosophical discourse. Benedetto Croce, an eminent Italian philosopher and historian, was deeply influenced by the struggles of his time, including the philosophical debates surrounding idealism and historicism. His background in both the arts and philosophy, combined with a commitment to cultural revival, led him to articulate a compelling vision of Vico's insights into the cyclical nature of history and knowledge. Croce's admiration for Vico, a figure often overshadowed in Enlightenment discourse, reflects his broader aim to validate the role of humanities in understanding societal progress. This scholarly work is essential for those who seek to grasp the foundational ideas that underpin contemporary thought on history and culture. Croce's interpretative lens offers readers an entry point into Vico's ideas, making complex philosophical concepts accessible. Enthusiasts of philosophy and intellectual history alike will find Croce's analysis not only enlightening but instrumental in appreciating the relevance of Vico's ideas in the modern era.

    Raul Baez was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. His early childhood consisted of massive traumatic experiences in a chaotic and dysfunctional family. At the age of thirteen, he dropped out of seventh grade and soon after embarked on twenty-six years of drug abuse. The addiction led to multiple incarcerations for a total of twenty-three years. Attempting to commit “suicide by cop” in a shootout with two NYPD police officers, he survived a barrage of bullets—thirty-two shots. In total, Raul had six near-death experiences. As a result of these events he faced over two hundred years in prison. He struggled with homelessness, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. For all intents and purposes he should be dead or in prison for the rest of his life! 
    Raul unequivocally and unambiguously attributes his powerful transformation to his relationship with God. With a renewed mind, he was able to eradicate the values and belief system that subjugated him for decades. He eventually earned an associate’s degree in real estate appraisal, a bachelor’s degree in personal finance to better understand how money really works, and a master’s degree in business. He started a Sole Proprietorship, an S-CORP, and a non-profit which are the genesis of Set Your Thoughts Free. He is fully passionate about his mission to equip individuals transitioning from prison with biblical principles, character development, and financial literacy. He has developed his program with various youth organizations, high schools, and multiple prisons in New York State and New England.

    Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and the values of leadership. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years.
