Sinopsis

David Hume's "The History of England" is an ambitious six-volume work that chronicles the political and social evolution of England from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Written in elegant prose that bridges the gap between historical narrative and philosophical exploration, Hume employs a critical lens, emphasizing themes of power, governance, and human nature. His meticulous approach incorporates extensive research, yet it is infused with his characteristic skepticism and inquiry into the moral implications of history, positioning it as a foundational text in both historiography and Enlightenment thought. Hume, a central figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, drew upon his profound understanding of philosophy, economics, and politics to craft this seminal work. His earlier writings, particularly in moral philosophy and empirical inquiry, profoundly influenced his perspective on historical causation and the role of human agency. It was this interdisciplinary background that allowed Hume to examine history not merely as a sequence of events but as a complex interplay of ideas, beliefs, and institutions. For readers interested in the evolution of modern historiography and Enlightenment philosophy, Hume's "The History of England" is a must-read. Its rigorous analysis and engaging narrative style not only provide insight into England's past but also invite reflection on the broader implications of historical study and the nature of human progress.

    In a series called " The Library of Contemporary Thought," top opinion-makers explore the most provocative, fascinating, and momentous issues that have occurred in the United States. In this first volume, famed Los Angeles prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi takes on the Supreme Court. Considered by some to be an island of sanity surrounded by a sea of insanity that is our society, the Supreme Court has increasingly come under scrutiny for some dubious decisions.
    In this compelling work, Bugliosi puts the Supreme Court on trial for its handling of Paula Jones vs. Bill Clinton. The author argues that the right of a president to be free of a private lawsuit while in office outweighs a plaintiff' s interest in having his or her case brought expediently to trial— regardless of a case' s supposed merit.

    The Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus, A Roman Slave is a collection of proverbs and aphorisms pulled from the many mimes and plays of Publius Syrus. Enslaved by the Romans in his youth, this witty man went on to conquer the Roman stage. These maxims, believed to have been collected in the 1st century AD, are all that remain of the great playwright’s work. Born in Syria in the 1st century BC, Publius Syrus was enslaved and brought to Rome by an army officer after the Romans conquered his native country. It was in Rome that he was given the name of Syrus, for his place of origin. He was then around 12 years old.This soldier had a patron who was delighted with the boy and requested that the soldier give Syrus to him. The soldier complied. Syrus’ new master found the boy witty and bright and was often entertained with his commentary. With such promise, the master provided Syrus with an education and later freed him. Syrus was immensely grateful and remained friends with his former master for the rest of his life. He took the surname Publius, which was probably the surname of his master.Newly free, Syrus traveled to Italy and began composing mimes—comical farces often used to “represent the failings and eccentricities of the higher classes, and the vulgar language and solecisms of the lower.” This combination of humor and moralism was widely popular among the Romans of the time, and Syrus earned great acclaim as a poet and actor. None of the great master’s plays have survived the ensuing centuries. But fortunately, many of his pithy maxims were collected from his plays, probably in the 1st century AD, and gathered into a single volume. This collection was translated from the Latin and first published in 1856.Included among the 1,087 proverbs are some that appear to be the foundation—or at least an early version—of sayings we still use today. While additional context regarding these quotes would be useful, they still have value on their own. These 1,087 proverbs
