  Diadochi The: The History of...

  On his deathbed, some ancient historians claimed that when he was pressed to name a successor, Alexander the Great muttered that his empire should go “to the strongest”. Other sources claim that he passed his signet ring to his general Perdiccas, thereby naming him successor, but whatever his choices were or may have been, they were ignored. Alexander’s generals, all of them with the loyalty of their own corps at their backs, would tear each other apart in a vicious internal struggle that lasted almost half a century before four factions emerged victorious: Macedonia, the Seleucid Empire in the east, the Kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor, and the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. During the course of these wars, Alexander’s only heir, the posthumously born Alexander IV, was murdered, extinguishing his bloodline for ever. 
  Although it was an incredibly important period in world history, it is sometimes as confusing as it is frustrating for historians because the allegiances of the generals changed constantly and historical sources are often biased in some regards and utterly lacking in others. Although none of these men were able to replicate Alexander the Great’s territorial success, a few carved out sizable empires and were able to establish long-lasting political dynasties. Ptolemy I brought Egypt back to a central position of power in the region, and Seleucus I built a strong empire on the ruins of ancient Babylonia, but other generals, such as Perdiccas, were killed early on in the fighting and slipped into relative obscurity. Some of the Macedonian generals had a significant impact on the region during their lifetimes, but they left no heirs to carry on their political memories. 
  This audiobook chronicles how Alexander’s legendary conquests shaped the next several centuries, and how the successor generals carved out various empires.

  Sentience - The Invention of...

  • 0

  The story of a quest to uncover the evolutionary history of consciousness from one of the world's leading theoretical psychologists. 
   
   
   
  We feel, therefore we are. Conscious sensations ground our sense of self. They are crucial to our idea of ourselves as psychic beings: present, existent, and mattering. But is it only humans who feel this way? Do other animals? Will future machines? Weaving together intellectual adventure and cutting-edge science, Nicholas Humphrey describes in Sentience his quest for answers: from his discovery of blindsight in monkeys and his pioneering work on social intelligence to breakthroughs in the philosophy of mind. 
   
   
   
  The goal is to solve the hard problem: to explain the wondrous, eerie fact of "phenomenal consciousness"—the redness of a poppy, the sweetness of honey, the pain of a bee sting. What does this magical dimension of experience amount to? What is it for? And why has it evolved? Humphrey presents here his new solution. He proposes that phenomenal consciousness, far from being primitive, is a relatively late and sophisticated evolutionary development. The implications for the existence of sentience in nonhuman animals are startling and provocative.

  Enquiry Concerning Human...

  David Hume

  "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" is a philosophical work written by David Hume in the 18th century. It is one of the most influential works in Western philosophy and is considered a cornerstone of modern empiricism and skepticism. 
  In this book, Hume investigates the nature and limits of human knowledge, arguing that all knowledge is based on our experiences and observations of the world. He asserts that we cannot know anything beyond what we have observed or experienced, and that there is no rational basis for many of the beliefs that we hold. 
  Hume's philosophy is deeply skeptical, and he questions many of the traditional ideas of Western philosophy, including causation, induction, and the existence of God. He argues that our beliefs in these concepts are not based on reason, but rather on habit or custom, and that they cannot be rationally justified. 
  Hume also explores the nature of morality and human nature, arguing that moral judgments are based on sentiment rather than reason, and that human beings are fundamentally motivated by self-interest rather than by any innate moral principles. 
  Overall, "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" is a profound and influential work that challenges many of the fundamental assumptions of Western philosophy. It is notable for its skepticism and empiricism, and for its rejection of many traditional metaphysical and theological concepts.
