Beschreibung

In "Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe," George Santayana intricately explores the intersection of poetry and philosophy through the lens of three monumental figures in Western thought. The book engages in a profound literary analysis, elucidating how each poet—Lucretius with his Epicurean materialism, Dante with his theological allegories, and Goethe with his synthesis of nature and spirit—embodies philosophical ideals in their literary works. Santayana's eloquent prose is reflective and insightful, presenting a rich dialogue that underscores the significance of these poets' contributions to both literary and philosophical contexts of their times. George Santayana, an eminent philosopher and poet, was intrinsically motivated by a desire to unify the realms of literary expression and philosophical inquiry. His own philosophy, intertwined with naturalism and skepticism, reveals a deep appreciation for the aesthetic experience, which becomes a guiding principle in his analyses. Living during a period characterized by rapid scientific advancement and existential questioning, Santayana sought to bridge the gap between the rational and the poetic, providing a unique perspective on the enduring questions of life. This book is an essential read for anyone fascinated by the interplay of philosophy and literature. Santayana's rigorous examination invites readers to reconsider the philosophical dimensions of poetry, making it a valuable resource for scholars, students, and lovers of literature alike. By delving into the minds of these poets, readers will discover how their works not only reflect but also shape the philosophical landscape of their respective eras.

    Can Jews be allowed to become boring?
    
    
    With Israel and antisemitism constantly in the news, it seems as though the Jewish people - a fraction of a percentage of the world's population - have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often don't know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of 'everyday' Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull.
    
    
    Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his people's extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates the mundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.

    Profit over Privacy - How...

    In Profit over Privacy, Matthew Crain gives internet surveillance a much-needed origin story by chronicling the development of its most important historical catalyst: web advertising. 
     
     
     
    Profit over Privacy uses the 1990s as its backdrop to show how the massive data-collection infrastructure that undergirds the internet today is the result of twenty-five years of technical and political economic engineering. Crain considers the social causes and consequences of the internet's rapid embrace of consumer monitoring, detailing how advertisers and marketers adapted to the existential threat of the internet and marshaled venture capital to develop the now-ubiquitous business model called "surveillance advertising." He draws on a range of primary resources from government, industry, and the press and highlights the political roots of internet advertising to underscore the necessity of political solutions to reign in unaccountable commercial surveillance. 
     
     
     
    Surveillance advertising is the result of political choices—not the inevitable march of technology. Unlike many other countries, the United States has no internet privacy law. A fascinating prehistory of internet advertising giants like Google and Facebook, Profit over Privacy argues that the internet did not have to turn out this way and that it can be remade into something better.

    Imagine a world where Heaven on Earth isn’t just a lofty ideal or a cosmic joke, but a tangible reality—one within our grasp. 
    Earth, The Improbable Utopia dares to explore this possibility, challenging the notion that our future is destined to be as bleak as our present. 
    Written from a spiritual perspective grounded in human experience rather than doctrine, the book approaches humanity’s crisis not only as a social or political failure, but as a deeper disconnect—from meaning, from purpose, and from ourselves. 
    In a world where humanity seems trapped in a relentless cycle of destruction and despair, author R. J. Fidalgo argues that we are the architects of our reality. Yet, despite overwhelming odds, a utopian future is not just a distant mirage—it’s a genuine possibility when inner transformation is given the same importance as external change. 
    This thought-provoking book delves into the heart of our collective existence, examining cultures, religions, traditions, and governments from across the globe. Through a blend of critical analysis and spiritual reflection, it confronts the flaws in our societies while illuminating timeless ideas and practices that point toward a more conscious and compassionate way of living. 
    Unlike exhaustive treatises or academic analyses, Earth, The Improbable Utopia is a book that sparks reflection and inspires action. Rather than dictating solutions, it invites readers into a contemplative dialogue—encouraging personal responsibility, awareness, and participation in shaping a better future. 
    A utopia can only emerge through shared effort and an awakened sense of responsibility. This is a book that seeks not to lecture, but to inspire—challenging you to imagine, reflect, and contribute to the extraordinary journey toward a better world, one rooted not only in systems and structures, but in spirit itself.

    The Sane Citizens Political...

    When it comes to politics, in today's day and age our country is more divided than ever. Furthermore, this divide has transcended politics and now determines where you are allowed to live, who you can be friends with, and even what beer you can drink. Well, if you are like me then this status quo of "us vs them" politics is far from ideal. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is a legitimate travesty that would have the founders rolling in their graves. I say this because what makes this country so special, in my view, is that our country, the United States of America, is built upon a Constitution that enshrines We the People's power over the nation-state. 
    In other words, the American people are not subjects, we are citizens, and as citizens it is our inherent right, nay, our responsibility to collectively decide how the levers of US political power are pulled because, at the end of the day, the government answers to us, not the other way around. But we can't effectively do this when we are busy dividing ourselves into teams and fighting each other, can we? 
    In essence, that is the problem that this book seeks to remedy. This is to say that The Sane Citizens Political Handbook takes some of the most divisive political issues of our time and breaks them down in a non-partisan way so that you, the sane citizen who is fed up with the current Republican/Democrat duopoly, can have a reasonable position on those issues that is grounded in logic, science, and the US Constitution, not one of the two major political parties. 
    With that said, if you, like me, are tired of party lines and political tribalism, then put on your thinking cap, crack open this book, and break free from the red and blue chains that have been systematically enslaving you.

    Asia Minor’s Most Prominent...

    The pages of world history textbooks contain a litany of “lost” empires and civilizations, but usually, upon further review, it is revealed that these so called lost empires are often just lesser known cultures that had a less apparent impact on history than other more well-known civilizations. When one scours the pages of history for civilizations that seem inexplicably lost but had a great impact during its time, a number of places in Asia Minor pop up. 
    	For example, Troy is unquestionably one of the most famous and legendary cities of antiquity, yet it is also the most mysterious. While ancient cities like Rome and Athens survived, and the destruction of others like Carthage and Pompeii were well-documented, the fame of Troy rested entirely on Homer’s epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey. The poems were so famous in the ancient world that Augustus had Virgil associate Rome’s foundation with the destruction of Troy and Aeneas’s own odyssey in the Aeneid. Augustus went so far as to have a new settlement, New Ilium, built in the region. 
    	In 1595 BCE, a mysterious new army struck Babylon without warning, spreading terror throughout the city. These warriors would cross the ancient Near East, destroying anything in their way with ruthless efficiency. In a time of war and conquest, they were the mightiest military power of their age. They were the Hittites, a warlike civilization that rose in central Anatolia from the capital city of Hattusa. At its height from around 1400 to 1200 BCE, the Hittite empire extended over a wide area of modern day Turkey and northern Syria.  
    Western civilization is directly linked to the incredible things that happened in Miletus during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. In the context of the dynamic political and mercantile interactions between different lands, philosophy and science were able to arise in Miletus because of the presence of a group of rich traders.
