  The Grounds of Political Legitimacy

  Political decisions have the potential to greatly impact our lives. Think of decisions in relation to abortion or climate change, for example. This makes political legitimacy an important normative concern. But what makes political decisions legitimate? Are they legitimate in virtue of having support from the citizens? Democratic conceptions of political legitimacy answer in the affirmative. Such conceptions rightly highlight that legitimate political decision-making must be sensitive to disagreements among the citizens. 
   
   
   
  Peter argues that the legitimacy of political decisions doesn't just depend on respect for the citizens' will; and defends a novel hybrid conception of political legitimacy, called the Epistemic Accountability conception. According to this conception, political legitimacy also depends on how political decision-making responds to evidence for what there is most reason to do. The Grounds of Political Legitimacy starts with an overview of the main ways in which philosophers have thought about political legitimacy, and identifies the epistemic accountability conception as an overlooked alternative. Considering the norms that should govern political debate, it examines the role of experts in politics, and probes the responsibilities of democratically elected political leaders and as well as of citizens.

  The Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India. He is revered as the founder of Buddhism. He taught for around forty five years and built a large following, both monastic and lay. His teaching is based on his insight into suffering and the end of such – the state called Nirvana.Prince Gautama was born into an aristocratic family but eventually joined the renounced order of life. After several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the workings of the cycle of rebirth and how it can be escaped. The Buddha then traveled widely teaching. He taught the middle way between sensual indulgence and severe asceticism. He taught a training of the mind that included self-restraint, and meditative practices such as mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice.Here is the illumined heart of his divine timeless teachings.

  Niebuhr's Lectures On Roman History V3 (1875) is a book written by Barthold Georg Niebuhr, a German historian and statesman considered one of the founders of modern historical scholarship.  
  Note This audio edition is abridged but is the only one of it's kind at this time. 
  The book is the third volume in a series of lectures on the history of ancient Rome, and covers a period from the end of the Second Punic War to the death of Julius Caesar. 
  In this volume, Niebuhr provides a detailed account of the political, social, and cultural developments of the Roman Republic during this period. He examines the rise of powerful political figures such as Scipio Africanus, Marius, and Sulla, and their impact on the Roman state. He also analyzes the social and economic changes that occurred during this time, including the growth of the Roman economy and the emergence of new social classes. 
  Throughout the book, Niebuhr draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts and archaeological evidence, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced view of Roman history. He also offers his own insights and interpretations, making the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ancient Rome. 
  Nonetheless, Niebuhr's Lectures On Roman History V3 (1875) is a well-researched and informative book that provides a fascinating look at one of the most important periods in Roman history 
  In this volume the narrator edited some portions out and  Niebuhr's research and commentary extends to the reign of Vitellius. If you are a fan of the series Rome or a graduate student or a person who enjoys evaluating events and sources objectively, then this audio volume is for you. Some of us are better learners using audio than the printed versions.

  Beneath the Surface of Things -...

  A timely and eclectic collection from one of the foremost thinkers of our time, "a powerful, penetrating and immensely knowledgeable writer" (The Guardian). 
   
   
   
  The essays in this collection came about during the unhurried months when one who had traveled incessantly was obliged to stay still, even as events flared on all sides in a world that never stops moving. Wade Davis brings his unique cultural perspective to such varied topics as the demonization of coca, the sacred plant of the Inca; the Great War and the birth of modernity; the British conquest of Everest; the endless conflict in the Middle East; reaching beyond climate fear and trepidation; on the meaning of the sacred. His essay, "The Unraveling of America," first published in Rolling Stone, attracted five million readers and generated 362 million social media impressions. Media interest in the story was sustained over many weeks, with interview requests coming in from twenty-three countries. 
   
   
   
  The anthropological lens, as Davis demonstrates, reveals what lies beneath the surface of things, allowing us to see, and to seek, the wisdom of the middle way, a perspective of promise and hope that all of the essays in this collection aspire to convey.
