Summary

Education in Ancient Times explores how early societies educated their youth, focusing on oral traditions, apprenticeships, and philosophical teachings. Understanding ancient education is crucial because it laid the groundwork for modern systems and offers insights into humanity's enduring pursuit of knowledge. The book argues that education in antiquity wasn't a uniform concept but rather a diverse set of practices deeply rooted in each civilization’s social fabric.

 
Interestingly, myths and legends served as vehicles for transmitting history and ethics, while apprenticeship systems enabled the acquisition of specialized skills. The book progresses by first examining oral traditions in pre-literate societies and then transitioning to apprenticeship systems. Finally, it investigates the rise of philosophical schools in ancient Greece and Rome.

 
By delving into these diverse methods, the book highlights the social values, power dynamics, and cultural priorities of these civilizations. It offers a valuable resource for those interested in the history of education and the development of human civilization, bridging the gap between classical studies and contemporary educational thought.

    The national racial reckoning that began in 2020 promised to radically restructure American society from the bottom up. But five years on, it has mainly served to strengthen the ruling class and deliver the rich an opportunity to rehabilitate a profoundly unequal economic order at a moment when the stability of the system and the public's trust in it are deteriorating. 
 
 
 
Corporations have used antiracism to consolidate their political power and evade government regulation. Employers have surveilled and undermined workers through counterproductive diversity, equity, and inclusion trainings. Affluent professionals and Democratic politicians have exacerbated a stark class divide by pushing half-baked "racial equity" policies that come at the expense of the majority of working people. And the right has reacted to these developments by stoking a toxic culture war against "wokeness" that serves as a distraction from the increasing economic hardship faced by Americans of all races. 
 
 
 
Selling Social Justice investigates the rise and spread of contemporary antiracist ideology and shows how the rich came to embrace this particular form of justice. In this provocative account, Jennifer C. Pan explores why, in a twenty-first-century economy of increasing scarcity, antiracism is the wrong frame for understanding and fighting inequality.

    "Bend it like Baba Ramdev", "The Breathing Baba", "The Man who Revolves his Stomach," "The Indian Yogi who Winks, "The Funny Indian Yogi" … are just a bunch of the many names he has been tagged with. We have had yoga masters and yoga maestros for centuries. Baba Ramdev will forever be known as the man who showed solutions, do-able solutions, to chronic ailments of people in the bedrooms of their own homes.

"Till the last breath, a man must never give up. With willpower and pureness, he should keep on going towards his goal and one day he will find his own destiny." These are the words of a man who made yoga what it is today—a household application that is not only accessible but has become a lifestyle.

Baba Ramdev perceived yoga as a routine regime, as an alternative to medicine, and a pseudoscientific technique to cure any illness in the lives of ordinary people. How could everyone not be accessing it, then?

    The Count Of Virtue -...

    Fourteenth century Italy was chaotic: mercenaries swarmed across the land as competing city states attempted to vie with each other for power, while pestilence and famine decimated populations. 
 
 
 
Into this cauldron was born Giangalezzo Visconti, a man who perfectly exemplified all the contradictions of his age. Viscous, covetous, and with loose morals, he has been portrayed as one of the most criminal men in history, yet he was also a man of remarkable gifts as a brilliant administrator, a shrewd ruler who was able to command the loyalty of his men, and a patron of beautiful art and architecture at the dawn of the Renaissance. 
 
 
 
Visconti as a young boy had been taught by Petrarch, yet he was just as influenced by his family of deft schemers and killers as he carved his pathway to power. Playing the parochial jealousies of the city-states against one another he was able to weaken his rivals and strike them in quick succession. 
 
 
 
E. R. Chamberlin's The Count of Virtue is a remarkable study of the life and times of Giangaleazzo Visconti that provides fascinating insight into the political, social and cultural world of fourteenth century Italy.
