  What is love? In poetry, songs, fiction, movies, psychology, and philosophy, love has been described, admired, lamented, and dissected in endless ways. Is love based on physical attraction? Does it bring out our better selves? How does it relate to sex? Is love divine? Plato's Symposium is one of the oldest, most influential, and most profound explorations of such questions—it is even the source of the idea of "Platonic love." How to Talk about Love introduces and presents the key passages and central ideas of Plato's philosophical dialogue in a lively new translation. 
   
   
   
  The Symposium is set at a fictional drinking party during which prominent Athenians engage in a friendly competition by delivering improvised speeches in praise of Eros, the Greek god of love and sex. The aristocrat Phaedrus, the legal expert Pausanias, the physician Eryximachus, the comic playwright Aristophanes, and the tragic poet Agathon—each by turn celebrates different aspects of love before Socrates proposes not to praise love but to tell the truth about it. In the final speech, the politician and libertine Alcibiades argues that Socrates himself is the epitome of love. 
   
   
   
  Deftly capturing the essence and spirit of Plato's masterpiece, How to Talk about Love makes the Symposium more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.

  Dive into the timeless wisdom of John Locke, one of the most influential philosophers of the Enlightenment era. This collection of Locke's essays offers a sweeping exploration of politics, religion, education, economics, and human understanding. Spanning 17th-century thought and still resonating today, these essays lay foundational groundwork for modern democracy, epistemology, and intellectual freedom. 
  This audiobook features key works like: 
  - *A Vindication of the Reasonableness of Christianity*: Locke defends the harmony of faith and reason. 
  - *Some Thoughts Concerning Reading and Study for A Gentleman*: Practical guidance on lifelong learning and intellectual growth. 
  - *A Discourse of Miracles*: Locke examines miracles and faith. 
  - *Considerations Concerning Raising the Value of Money*: Analysis of economic systems and currency manipulation. 
  Locke's ideas shaped the Age of Enlightenment and influence political, educational, and philosophical thought worldwide. He argued humans are free, equal, and capable of shaping governments and societies. As a philosopher, Locke saw himself as an "under-labourer" clearing the path to knowledge, asking: _What do we know? How do we know it?_ 
  Mark G. Spencer notes Locke wrote for "the ordinary man," exploring how humans gain knowledge through experience and reason – ideas that paved the way for the 18th century and remain relevant today. 
  Whether you're interested in modern thought, political philosophy, or faith and reason, this collection offers rich insights into Western philosophy's foundations. Locke's ideas spark debate and inspire readers globally. 
  This unabridged audiobook presents Locke's essays with an informative introduction. Listen to explore the origins of modern ideas – and find arguments for today's debates.

  This history of Western philosophy, published in 1920, explores the ways mankind has explained the natural world during the last few centuries, whether by spiritual interpretation or through advances in science. From the Preface: "The chapters which follow are not intended as even a slight sketch of the history of Thought since the Renaissance. Their object is more modest, i.e. to illustrate the thesis that mankind, being 'incurably religious,' insists (however hopeless the enterprise may sometimes seem) upon interpreting the universe spiritually." (Summary by LA Walden and the Preface)

  The New Slave Masters

  It's SLAVERY all over again! The New Slavemasters that are destroying hopes and dreams in families and relationships are even more threatening than their whip-wielding predecessors. These new Slavemasters’ evil-rooted forces – drugs, gangs, violence, racism, materialism, deception, teen pregnancy, and sexual promiscuity – still WALK AND LIVE AMONG US. 
  Nearly two centuries ago, Satan used mankind’s deeply rooted sin that resulted in humanity enslaving a race of God’s creation—African-Americans. In this new day when African-Americans enjoy complete freedom, there are new, insidious Slavemasters that work outside civilized law and labor to ensnare black families —and for that matter, families of all races. 
  This book provides a blueprint for restoration and strengthening of African American families. The term, The New Slavemasters, comes from my experiences of present-day enslavement of prevailing temptations and devastation of plagues that wrought the inner city suburbs in my community, resulting in self-imposed slavery and family destruction. When Christians [born-again] and non-Christians fail to recognize the bondage and break the chains that destroy our entire nation, they lose their freedom and volunteer to re-enter into forms of slavery. 
  This entire book helps give awareness of how to break free from and remain free of The New Slavemasters. Reader’s Study Guide, Chapter notes, questions and answers, true stories and illustrations are inserted to support and encourage Bible-study groups, scriptural understanding, and prayer devotions against the assault of the new Slavemasters. 
  The book begins with a mother trying desperately to save her son’s life that was impacted by drugs and “dirty” (drug) money. But, in the endless struggle to free her son from these new Slavemasters’ hold on him, tragedy occurs – he dies before her very eyes.
