  In 1970, C. T. Vivian, a close colleague of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a member of his executive staff, sat down to take stock of the civil rights movement and the progress it had made. His assessment was that it failed, and that the blame lay in the existence of myths about America. 
   
   
   
  As prophetic today as it was fifty years ago, Vivian's voice rings out as a critique and a call to action for a society in deep need of justice and peace. 
   
   
   
  The civil rights struggle that began when Rosa Parks, a seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama, decided to sit in the front of a bus has deeply altered American society and the American conscience. Yet from several perspectives, that movement has resulted in failure. The Black struggle for independence is more of an uphill climb than ever. Why? C. T. Vivian asserts that the civil rights movement failed because it was built on certain myths about America: 
   
   
   
  ● the myth that Americans will do what is right as soon as they know what is right. 
   
   
   
  ● the myth that legislation leads to justice. 
   
   
   
  ● the myth that America is an open society where any minority group can advance. 
   
   
   
  ● the myth that an ethic of love forms the core of the American conscience.

  Imperial China - Foundations of...

  This book offers an in-depth exploration of three of the most influential dynasties in Chinese history: the Han, Qin, and Tang Dynasties. This book delves into the powerful legacies of these dynasties, each of which shaped China’s cultural, political, and social development in profound ways. The Qin Dynasty, under the leadership of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, is known for unifying China and initiating monumental infrastructure projects such as the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army. The Han Dynasty, a golden age in Chinese history, expanded China’s borders, solidified Confucian ideals, and fostered the flourishing of trade along the Silk Road. Finally, the Tang Dynasty, often regarded as the most prosperous period in China’s imperial history, saw significant advancements in arts, culture, and governance. 
  In the Qin Dynasty, China was unified for the first time under a single ruler, marking the beginning of imperial rule. Emperor Qin’s centralization of power, creation of a standardized legal system, and the construction of defensive walls set the stage for the future of Chinese civilization. Although short-lived, the Qin Dynasty’s impact on Chinese governance and infrastructure would echo through the centuries.  
  Meanwhile, the Han Dynasty succeeded the Qin, ushering in an era of stability, economic prosperity, and cultural development. The Han established a strong bureaucracy and military, advanced in science and technology, and integrated Confucianism as the official philosophy, influencing Chinese society for over two millennia. 
  The Tang Dynasty, which followed the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, is celebrated for its cultural achievements, including the flourishing of poetry, painting, and literature. The Tang Empire expanded China's territory to its greatest extent, and its cosmopolitan capital, Chang'an, became a vibrant hub for international trade and cultural exchange.

  Kierkegaard - Existentialism and...

  Søren Kierkegaard, often regarded as the father of existentialism, was born on May 5, 1813, in Copenhagen, Denmark. His early life was marked by tragedy, as his mother died when he was just a child, and his father, a deeply religious man, instilled in him a sense of guilt and the weight of existential questioning. Kierkegaard’s relationship with his father deeply influenced his philosophical development, particularly in his exploration of faith, despair, and the individual's relationship with God. 
  Kierkegaard’s intellectual journey began at the University of Copenhagen, where he studied theology and philosophy. He was deeply influenced by the works of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Hegel, yet he sought to diverge from the systematic and rational approaches of these thinkers. Instead, he focused on the subjective aspects of human experience, emphasizing personal choice, individual responsibility, and the need for authentic existence. Kierkegaard believed that philosophy should not merely be an abstract pursuit but should directly address the real, lived experiences of individuals. 
  One of Kierkegaard's most significant contributions to philosophy was his critique of the established norms of society and religion. He believed that individuals often live in a state of "inauthenticity," blindly following social conventions and doctrines without truly reflecting on their own beliefs. For Kierkegaard, true existence could only be achieved through the individual’s leap of faith—an existential act that transcends reason and embraces the paradoxical nature of human life.
