Sinopse

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 COVID-19 pandemic has reorganized existing methods of exchange, turning comparatively marginal technologies into the new normal. Multipoint videoconferencing in particular has become a favored means for web-based forms of remote communication and collaboration without physical copresence. Taking the recent mainstreaming of videoconferencing as its point of departure, this anthology examines the complex mediality of this new form of social interaction. Connecting theoretical reflection with material case studies, the contributors question practices, politics and aesthetics of videoconferencing and the specific meanings it acquires in different historical, cultural and social contexts.

    In today’s world we live in a culture of truth suppression. This is true in representative democracies like the United States as well as full totalitarian dictatorships like Communist China.This book covers many areas of major lies like Global Warming, perverted doctrines taught in schools, Politics, News Suppression, Communist China, limitations in Spirituality, deficit spending, and problems with globalism.There are many different types of truth suppression and as much as we would like to think that we live in an advanced culture and world, this effort by different entities to suppress truth affects our lives negatively in many ways.The most direct effect is that we live in fear of the future of our world which is a big lie.This suppression also keeps us from fully realizing our spiritual natures and that we do have the ability to accomplish amazing things when we live with full honesty in our lives.I believe that individuals are closest to a state of happiness when they live their lives in truth. (See my book “A New Paradigm of Truth and Happiness” for more information.)There are actions we can take to correct this situation but they are mass actions which need many persons involved to have a real effect. A list of these actions are given later in this book.

    Corridors of Contagion brings to light the experiences of five people incarcerated across the United States as they navigate the onset of the pandemic—and the many months, stretched into years, that followed. Journalist Victoria Law combines this storytelling with a trenchant analysis of the structural failures of the US carceral system: failures that made prisons uniquely vulnerable to COVID-19 outbreaks, from overcrowding to solitary confinement, from insufficient healthcare to life sentences. 
     
     
     
    The book portrays the horrors of continual lockdowns not in the comfort of one's own home, but in prisons where routine violence and chaos is made even more unimaginable by the complete lack of control over protection from a terrifying and lethal new virus. The pandemic provided an opportunity for lawmakers and policy makers to rethink the nation's addiction to perpetual punishment. Instead, US jails and prisons doubled down on punishment under the guise of pandemic protections. As a result, people behind bars experienced increased stress, mental health challenges, increased violence, and higher rates of deaths, many of which could have been prevented. 
     
     
     
    Corridors of Contagion reminds listeners about both the particular horrors experienced by people in cages and the continued role of the US as the world’s prison nation.
