Beschreibung

In "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus," the Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher presents a profound exploration of ethics, virtue, and the nature of existence. Composed as a personal journal, this collection of meditations offers insights into Aurelius' thoughts during his reign from 161 to 180 CE. Written in a direct and unadorned style, the text captures the essence of Stoicism, encouraging readers to embrace rationality, self-discipline, and acceptance of fate amidst life's challenges. The work is not only a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy but also a reflection of the tumultuous times in which Aurelius ruled, deeply rooted in the historical context of political strife and personal loss. Marcus Aurelius, a Stoic philosopher trained in rhetoric and law, is considered one of the last of the Five Good Emperors. His position in Roman society and his commitment to philosophy undoubtedly influenced his reflections in this journal, blending his duties as a ruler with his philosophical inquiries. Having been shaped by various mentors and the Stoic tradition, his thoughts reveal a quest for personal integrity and wisdom in the face of adversity. I highly recommend "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus" for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Stoic philosophy or looking for timeless guidance on leading a virtuous life. Its enduring relevance resonates with readers navigating the complexities of modern existence, offering a path toward self-improvement and tranquility.

    - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules 
    - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners 
    - Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text

    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    What is it like to care for another family, while yours remains in a different country? In today's capitalist society, migrant women performing care work in private households experience the painful tension of caring for both, often under precarious conditions. 
     
     
     
    Characterized as the "backstage" family, the carer's remote relationship with their loved ones at home is often purely digital, with the double dilemmas of migrant motherhood and stay-behind fathers—exposing the pitfalls of transnational employment relations and the growth of social inequality. 
     
     
     
    Here, Helma Lutz explores the debates around this issue, focusing on carers from Eastern Europe working in the West. She unpacks questions around feminist critiques of capitalism and the commodification of emotional labor, exploring how gender justice and the search for socialist feminist utopias can shape how we see a future—not only for the improvement of the carers' working and living conditions but also for a new way of dealing with care work.
