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.

    ***
    Should Wales leave the UK? It's a conversation that has – unfairly – been all but disregarded by many, including some of the Welsh themselves, with all the focus on their Celtic cousins in Scotland. But independence movements are gaining momentum across Europe, and Wales will be a key voice in these debates. Support for Welsh autonomy is at an all-time high, with the latest polls suggesting as many as one in three are in favour. This is not just unprecedented; it is all but revolutionary.
    Scotland's 2014 referendum taught us that once the independence genie is out of the bottle, it does not go back in. Meanwhile, the Brexit campaign demonstrated that these arguments come with inflated claims, misinformation and scaremongering that can easily poison a complex debate.
    In Independent Nation, Will Hayward brings nuance back to the arena for this crucial national conversation. Brimming with interviews from experts and painting a detailed, colourful picture of the realities of life in Wales – from extreme poverty and disconnected infrastructure to expensive urban regeneration and cafés of Gavin and Stacey fame – this is an open-eyed look at the truths and falsehoods around the country's future. Impartial, informed and thoroughly entertaining, Independent Nation raises the standard of debate around an issue that will affect us all.

    The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity - Read by the amazing Owen Hunt @bootsygreenwood Now in Audio, on Audible and everywhere else! 
    Of all of his works, The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity is the one that Steiner himself believed would have the longest life, and the greatest spiritual and cultural consequences. It was written as a phenomenological account of the results of observing the human soul, according to the methods of natural science. 
    This seminal work asserts that free spiritual activity (understood as the human ability to think and act independently of physical nature) is the suitable path for human beings today, to gain true knowledge of themselves and of the universe. This is not merely a philosophical volume, but rather a warm, heart-oriented guide to the practice and experience of living thinking. 
    Listeners will not find abstract philosophy here, but a step-by-step account of how a person may come to experience living, intuitive thinking - "the conscious experience of a purely spiritual content".

    The year 2020 was a tumultuous time in American politics. It brought a global pandemic, protests for racial justice, and a razor-thin presidential election outcome. It culminated in an attack on the US Capitol that attempted to deny Joe Biden's victory. The Bitter End explores the long-term trends and short-term shocks that shaped this dramatic year and what these changes could mean for the future. 
     
     
     
    John Sides, Chris Tausanovitch, and Lynn Vavreck demonstrate that Trump's presidency intensified the partisan politics of the previous decades. Presidential elections have become calcified, with less chance of big swings in either party's favor. Republicans remained loyal to Trump and kept the election close, despite Trump's many scandals, a recession, and the pandemic. But in a narrowly divided electorate even small changes can have big consequences. The pandemic was a case in point: when Trump pushed to reopen the country even as infections mounted, support for Biden increased. The authors explain that, paradoxically, even as Biden's win came at a time of heightened party loyalty, there remained room for shifts that shaped the election's outcome. Ultimately, the events of 2020 showed that instead of the country coming together to face national challenges—the pandemic, George Floyd's murder, and the Capitol riot—these challenges only reinforced divisions.
