  An Ethics for Today - Finding...

  Richard Rorty

  • 0

  One of the most widely discussed philosophers of the 21st century finds common ground between spiritual and secular ethics in this provocative book.As controversial and he was influential, Richard Rorty developed a brand of philosophical pragmatism that rejects all theories of truth. His groundbreaking work also dismisses modern epistemology and its preoccupation with knowledge and representation. Though he was a strict secularist, Rorty believed there could be no universally valid answers to moral questions. This led him to a surprisingly complex view of religion rarely expressed in his writings. In this posthumous publication, Rorty finds in the pragmatic thought of John Dewey, John Stuart Mill, William James, and George Santayana, among others, a political imagination shared by religious traditions. Rather than promote belief or nonbelief, Rorty seeks to locate patterns of similarity and difference so an ethics of decency and a politics of solidarity can rise. He particularly responds to Pope Benedict XVI and his campaign against the relativist vision. Whether holding theologians, metaphysicians, or political ideologues to account, Rorty remains steadfast in his opposition to absolute uniformity and its exploitation of political strength.

  Frequencies - Treatise

  Over 10 years ago ... I made an incredible discovery for myself ... and I wrote it all down in my diary. 
  ...I have even shared my draft before....  
  Frequencies are parallel worlds ... they are social strata of society ... and we all live on different frequencies ....  
  If I surround myself with people and things and food and music ... of frequency number 5 ... then I will connect to frequency 5 ... and if there is laziness on that frequency ... and if on that frequency ... people often break bones ... then I will become lazy and break my leg or my arm by accident ... when I leave the house ... in winter time ... when it's slippery ....  
  But at frequency 10 ...  everything is different ... if you surround yourself with elements of frequency 10 ... then you get into another world ... where you will be always in a positive mood ... and have money ... and health ... and even your thoughts will be different .... 
  And I wrote about it ... when I was 20 years old ... in 2011 ... in the summer I first noticed it ... that there are different worlds ... and in different worlds ... there is a different me ....  
  Now I decided not to twist all my old materials about frequencies ... but to start from scratch ... once again ... to explain in detail ... what are frequencies ... and more precisely what is it... where you live in...

  When ancient Egypt is mentioned, images often come to mind of tombs covered in hieroglyphs being opened by Victorian-era explorers, revealing "wonderful things"—as Howard Carter famously described upon first glimpsing the treasures of Tutankhamun. But how did Egyptology become the preserve of wealthy Europeans? And what can be done today to restore agency and rightful ownership to the country where this field was born?

  Ivan the Terrible and Vlad...

  Charles River Editors

  Many medieval figures are somewhat shrouded in mystery, due to the scarcity of available sources and to the difficulties posed by the interpretation of historical narratives dating from this period. And even when there is enough documented evidence to put together a sufficiently coherent biographical account, other sources and accounts may emerge that flagrantly contradict the already established and generally accepted historical narrative. 
  Nowhere is this more evident than in the legacy of Vlad III Dracula, whom history has recorded as one of the most notorious and bloodthirsty tyrants of the 15th century. In addition to lending the name Dracula to Bram Stoker’s famous vampire, Vlad is known around the world by the cognomen Vlad the Impaler, due to his reputation for impaling thousands of his enemies. Vlad was reputed to be such a tyrant that his reputation and stories of his deeds spread across Germany and the rest of Europe during his lifetime. Naturally, trying to determine who Vlad was and what he was really like has been made more complex by the subsequent fame he achieved in Europe and beyond, beginning with the dissemination of the German and Slavic 15th century narratives that aided in the construction of a diabolical, mythical-like figure that has been passed down throughout history to today.  
  While certain factual aspects regarding Ivan IV’s reign can certainly be deduced from the primary sources that have withstood the test of time, the majority of accounts dating from the 16th century and after must be evaluated critically and read in light of certain traditions and ideas that circulated in the region regarding the model ruler and the tyrant. Naturally, this makes it hard for contemporary audiences to determine whether Ivan IV was worthy of the epithet “Groznyi” (“the Terrible”), but that heavily influenced the way in which Ivan IV was perceived and subsequently depicted in historiography.
