    Anxiety - A Philosophical Guide

    Today, anxiety is usually thought of as a pathology, the most diagnosed and medicated of all psychological disorders. But anxiety isn't always or only a medical condition. Indeed, many philosophers argue that anxiety is a normal, even essential, part of being human, and that coming to terms with this fact is potentially transformative. In Anxiety, Samir Chopra explores valuable insights about anxiety offered by ancient and modern philosophies. Blending memoir and philosophy, he also tells how serious anxiety has affected his own life—and how philosophy has helped him cope with it. 
     
     
     
    Chopra shows that many philosophers have viewed anxiety as an inevitable human response to existence: to be is to be anxious. Drawing on Karl Marx and Herbert Marcuse, Chopra examines how poverty and other material conditions can make anxiety worse, but he emphasizes that not even the rich can escape it. Nor can the medicated. Inseparable from the human condition, anxiety is indispensable for grasping it. Philosophy may not be able to cure anxiety but, by leading us to greater self-knowledge and self-acceptance, it may be able to make us less anxious about being anxious. 
     
     
     
    Personal, poignant, and hopeful, Anxiety is a book for anyone who is curious about rethinking anxiety and learning why it might be a source not only of suffering but of insight.

    Essay on the Principle of...

    Thomas Malthus

    Thomas Malthus, an English economist and cleric, published his influential work "An Essay on the Principle of Population" in 1798. The book introduced the idea that population growth would outstrip resources in the long run, leading to catastrophic consequences such as famine, disease, and war. 
    Malthus argued that population growth was exponential, while resources grew at a much slower arithmetic rate. This meant that over time, the population would inevitably outstrip the ability of the land to produce food, leading to a "positive check" on population growth in the form of famine, disease, or war. 
    Malthus also identified a "preventative check" on population growth, which he saw as the moral restraint of individuals to delay marriage and childbirth until they could support a family. However, he believed that this restraint would only be effective for the wealthy and educated classes, while the poor would continue to have large families out of necessity. 
    Malthus's ideas were controversial at the time, as they challenged the prevailing belief in progress and the idea that human ingenuity and technological advances could overcome any resource constraints. However, his ideas gained traction in the 19th century as Europe experienced a series of famines and population pressures, and his work influenced later economists such as David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill. 
    Critics of Malthus have argued that his predictions did not come to pass, as the world has experienced significant improvements in food production and living standards over the last two centuries. However, Malthus's ideas continue to influence debates on population growth, resource constraints, and environmental sustainability.

    How can science prevail when policies fall short? 
     
     
     
    Sometimes in secret, sometimes as official ambassadors for their governments, scientists trade their white coats for blazers, stepping out of the lab and directly into sensitive, often life-threatening global crises. Think of the Paris Climate Agreement or the Iran Nuclear Deal, the Manhattan Project, and the Antarctic Treaty of 1959. Scientists have played a pivotal role in many of the greatest episodes in political history. 
     
     
     
    But what prompts their involvement in international affairs, and what are some of the impacts of their efforts? Can Scientists Succeed Where Politicians Fail? recounts Nobel laureate Dr. Peter Agre's career as a physician-scientist who went from studying malaria and other diseases to meeting with Fidel Castro in Cuba, discoursing with North Korean officials, and traveling into the Islamic Republic of Iran. 
     
     
     
    The book explores Agre's story alongside those of volcanologists in North Korea, epidemiologists in Latin America, and other scientists who have and are working alongside politicians, from African tribal chiefs to communist leaders, to tackle natural disasters and infectious threats in new ways.

    Women in Ancient Indian mythology hold significant and multifaceted roles, often embodying both nurturing and destructive forces within the cosmic and earthly realms. These divine figures are central to the very fabric of the ancient Indian worldview, illustrating the depth and complexity of feminine energy. In these mythologies, women are not just passive characters but active, powerful beings who shape the universe, challenge societal norms, and assert their authority in the divine order. 
    One of the most notable representations of female power in Indian mythology is through goddesses. The concept of Shakti, or divine feminine energy, permeates many Hindu myths and is embodied by goddesses such as Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. Durga, for instance, is a warrior goddess who symbolizes the victory of good over evil. She is often depicted riding a lion or tiger, wielding weapons in multiple hands, signifying her multifarious power and strength. Durga's myth tells of her battle with the demon Mahishasura, where she not only defeats him but also restores cosmic balance. This story symbolizes the resilience and power of feminine energy, which is integral to the maintenance of order in the universe. 
    Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and beauty, represents another facet of feminine influence. While her power is associated with material and spiritual wealth, her role is not passive. Lakshmi’s mythology highlights her active involvement in ensuring prosperity and well-being, both on a personal and societal level. She is often depicted as a source of light, standing on a lotus, symbolizing purity and the abundance that follows divine favor.
