Sinopse

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.

    What should a therapist do when a patient reveals critical information at the end of a session? 
     
     
     
    It's a near-universal experience among mental health practitioners: a patient drops a bombshell—a critical disclosure that moves the treatment forward—on their way out, with a hand on the doorknob. This "doorknob moment" creates a stressful dilemma for clinicians, especially when the patient is distraught. Should the clinician end the session on time, or run over and be late for the next patient? 
     
     
     
    Here, seasoned psychiatrist Daniela V. Gitlin provides clinicians with a clear, evidence-based answer. By conceptualizing the functional differences between patient and therapist in the treatment relationship as a metaphor for the functional differences between right and left cerebral hemispheres, Gitlin's argument yields a comprehensive explanation for why doorknob moments occur, why they are necessary to prevent treatment stagnation, and why ending on time makes patients feel safer to deliver them.

Castor reveals how the COVID-19 pandemic tested our deepest values, transforming bustling communities in the Philippines and beyond into crucibles of ethical tension.

    Why I Am Writing This Book is not just a chronicle of crisis; it's a clarion call to examine our own moral resilience. Castor challenges you to reflect on what happens when the lines between right and wrong blur, urging readers to forge a future where ethical fortitude endures—even in the darkest moments. If you're seeking an unflinching look at how adversity can both shatter and strengthen our shared humanity, and if you long for hope in the face of uncertainty, this book offers a powerful roadmap to navigate the moral storms ahead.

    This book is about freedom and the right to have an opinion. A concept that has been fought over for centuries. Whilst we think of Australia as being a free society, You Can't Say That! challenges this notion, arguing that the freedoms all Australians once enjoyed have been systematically eroded over last few decades, and how, as a nation, we must fight to get them back.Let this book guide you to a place where you ask:   • Who are my masters?   • How much do I desire to fit into the current trend of "progressive" thought and "woke" ideas which are fast becoming societal norms?   • How far am I willing to go to accept the current trends of collectivism, conformity, hypocrisy and cancel culture?The Purpose of You Can't Say That! is to encourage discussion and debate in the current stifling politically correct environment, as well as providing a platform for those fighting to gain back their basic rights for freedom of speech.If you are tired of the opinions of elitist bullies telling you what you must say and think, taking over all debates in the mainstream media and within our institutions, then you can read this book and feel empowered that you in fact CAN say that.

    One of the greatest figures of wisdom and knowledge in the Indian history is Chanakya. Chanakya is regarded as a great thinker and diplomat in India who is traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta. Originally a professor of economics and political science at the ancient Takshashila University, Chanakya managed the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta's rise to power at a young age. Instead of acquiring the seat of kingdom for himself, he crowned Chandragupta Maurya as the emperor and served as his chief advisor. Chanakya Neeti is a treatise on the ideal way of life, and shows Chanakya's deep study of the Indian way of life.
