Beschreibung

In "A Selection from the Discourses of Epictetus with the Encheiridion," the Stoic philosopher Epictetus presents a rich tapestry of his teachings, emphasizing the importance of ethics, self-control, and personal responsibility. Written in a conversational tone, these selections bridge the complexities of Stoic philosophy with practical guidance for everyday life. The text draws upon both personal anecdotes and philosophical discourse, positioning itself within the broader context of Hellenistic thought, where the quest for moral virtue finds paramount significance amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Roman Empire. Epictetus, born a slave and later gaining his freedom, cultivated a profound understanding of human suffering and resilience, directly influencing his philosophical outlook. His life experiences, marked by adversity and transformation, inform his teachings on the dichotomy of control, positioning liberty not in circumstances but in one's attitudes and perceptions. By focusing on the power of individual choice and virtue, he crafts a philosophy aimed at empowering individuals to lead lives of authenticity and purpose. This text serves as an essential guide for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of modern existence. Epictetus's insights into managing desire, facing adversity, and fostering inner peace resonate powerfully today, making this book a compelling read for both scholars and general readers alike.

    The myths and legends of the Aztecs offer a glimpse into a world both vibrant and complex, where gods walked among mortals, and cosmic forces shaped the destiny of an empire. Rooted in the beliefs of the Nahua peoples of central Mexico, Aztec mythology was more than just a collection of stories—it was a sacred system that explained the origins of the universe, the role of humanity, and the ever-present struggle between order and chaos. These myths provided meaning to daily life, justified political and military expansion, and reinforced the religious practices that were central to Aztec society.  
    The origins of Aztec mythology are intertwined with the migrations and conquests that shaped their civilization. The Mexica, the people who would later establish the powerful city of Tenochtitlan, believed they were divinely chosen. According to their legends, they embarked on a long journey from a mythical homeland called Aztlán under the guidance of their patron god, Huitzilopochtli. Their eventual settlement on an island in Lake Texcoco fulfilled a prophecy that marked the beginning of their great empire. By weaving their own history into the fabric of myth, the Aztecs established their right to rule and their connection to the gods.  
    In Aztec society, mythology was inseparable from religion, politics, and even warfare. The gods required constant nourishment through human sacrifice, a practice that was not seen as cruel but as essential for maintaining cosmic balance. Warriors who died in battle were honored as they were believed to ascend to the sun’s domain, while sacrificial victims were thought to sustain the gods with their blood. Mythology also shaped the Aztec worldview through their intricate calendar system, which guided ceremonies, agriculture, and daily life. Time was cyclical, and each era was destined to end and be reborn—a belief that influenced their response to the arrival of the Spanish.

    The remarkable history of Britain and its animals, told through ten iconic species Have you ever wondered why we count sheep to get to sleep? Or where the phrase "red herring" comes from? Across British history, animals have been written about in poetry, painted in oils, and even recorded in law. Loved or feared, familiar or endangered, animals are everywhere to be seen. In this enchanting study, Karen R. Jones takes a journey through the history of ten animals to show the extraordinary story of "beastly" Britain. Jones looks at animals including foxes and hedgehogs, newts and beetles, ghostly hounds, and even the Loch Ness Monster. She reveals the place of animals in British cultural identity and sheds new light on the most iconic moments of British history, from the Black Death to World War II. The story of these isles may be told by human voices, but it is fully brought to life by listening to the squawks, bellows, and howls that make Britain what it is.
