The Complete Works of David Hume - Enriched edition

David Hume

Sinopse

The Complete Works of David Hume is an extensive compilation encompassing the philosophical writings of one of the Enlightenment's foremost thinkers. Hume's prose navigates the realms of empiricism, skepticism, and morality with a clarity that reveals his deep engagement with contemporary philosophical debates. The collection includes his seminal works such as A Treatise of Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, elaborating on topics like human cognition, the nature of causation, and the foundations of ethics, all framed within Hume's characteristic witty and engaging style, bolstered by rich historical allusions and a commitment to rational inquiry. David Hume (1711-1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, and economist whose ideas were pivotal in shaping modern philosophical thought. His formative experiences, including his extensive reading of previous thinkers and his engagement with the burgeoning scientific methodologies of his time, led him to craft a unique philosophical voice. Hume's background in law and finance also enriched his analyses of human behavior and societal norms, enabling him to critique the dogmatism prevailing in both philosophy and religion. Readers seeking to understand the foundations of modern philosophy and the evolution of human thought will find The Complete Works of David Hume indispensable. This collection serves not only as a testament to Hume's brilliance but also as a vital resource for anyone interested in the intricate relationship between human understanding, belief, and experience.

Dust and Light - On the Art of...

Andrea Barrett

The celebrated National Book Award–winning writer's intimate exploration of how fact is transformed into fiction. 
 
 
 
In this thoughtful collection of essays, Andrea Barrett draws from her experiences writing some of the most acclaimed historical fiction of our time to explore the mysteries and delights of the genre. Inspiration found in the past, she argues, can illuminate fiction, just as dust scatters light and makes the unseen visible. Delving into some of the largest questions in the genre—How does a writer find meaningful subject matter beyond the confines of their life? How are scraps of history transformed into a fully formed narrative?—Barrett explores how she came to create some of her beloved works and explores lessons gleaned from the work of such masters of historical fiction as Toni Morrison, Leo Tolstoy, Hilary Mantel, and Colm Tóibín. Candid and elegant, Dust and Light is the perfect book for anyone who loves reading fiction set in the past, as well as for anyone aspiring to write it.

Europe and Russia on the Balkan...

Giorgio Fruscione

The war in Ukraine has taken its toll on the stability of the Balkans by reshuffling regional geopolitics and reviving diplomatic competition between the West and Russia. Since the summer of 2022, growing tensions between Kosovo and Serbia have raised concerns about a possible Russian involvement and pushed the European Union to react promptly. By brokering a new normalisation agreement, the West seeks to prevent new hotbeds in Europe and push Russia one step back from the Balkans. Meanwhile, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has given new momentum to the integration process of candidate states, making EU membership a tangible goal rather than an unattainable dream.
Will the EU be able to stabilise the Balkans? Will Russia continue to exert its influence in the region? Are Belgrade and Pristina on the eve of a new phase in the normalisation process?

School of Errors - Rethinking...

David P. Perrodin, Danny Woodburn

School of Errors: Rethinking School Safety in America establishes another voice in the discussion of how to promote safe schools. It challenges the unchecked expansion of school fortification and questions the realized benefit of inter-agency collaboration during a sentinel event. This book offers an alternative to traumatizing simulations by providing clear options for improving school safety by the empirically-proven effective measures of leakage detection (preventive) and sensemaking (reactive). School of Errors restores the scientific method to school safety and clears a path through the media rhetoric fogging this vital topic. 
School of Errors is hailed as "the most honest book ever written about the $3 billion school safety industrial complex."
