Sinopsis

In "The Greatest Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau," readers are invited into the intricate tapestry of Rousseau's thoughts that shaped modern philosophy and political theory. This anthology showcases his seminal writings, including "The Social Contract" and "Confessions," characterized by a lyrical prose style that intertwines personal narrative with profound philosophical inquiry. Rousseau's exploration of human nature and society remains crucial within the Enlightenment context, challenging the foundations of authority and promoting the ideals of democracy and individual freedom. His emphasis on the innate goodness of man, corrupted by civilization, is both a critique and reflection of the societies of his time. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment, whose tumultuous life experiences, from orphanhood to political involvement in revolutionary France, informed his philosophy. His background as a writer and composer, along with his radical ideas about education and governance, led him to synthesize personal and political pursuits, giving birth to concepts that would influence future generations, including the likes of Marx and Kant. Rousseau'Äôs struggles against societal norms amplified his desire to provoke critical thought about the individual's role in society. This compendium is essential reading for those seeking to understand the evolution of modern thought, offering profound insights into the nature of freedom, equality, and the social contract. Rousseau's passionate prose resonates with contemporary issues, making this collection not only a historical document but also a commentary on current societal challenges. Dive into Rousseau's greatest works to experience the power of his ideas and their remarkable relevance today.

Ely Samuel Parker and Stand...

Editors Charles River

One of the best known of the six nations is the Seneca, and arguably the most famous Seneca chief was Ely Samuel Parker. Over the course of his life, he was a Seneca chief, a civil engineer, a close friend and adjutant to General Ulysses S. Grant, an advocate for the Indian peoples, and the first Native American Commissioner of the Department of Indian Affairs. His marriage to a much younger socialite scandalized Washington, and he made a fortune on Wall Street and lost it all. He ended his life in genteel poverty, working for nearly 20 years in an obscure position for the New York City Police Department. Parker was a largely self-taught engineer, who worked on various canal projects, and was hired by the Department of the Treasury to supervise the construction of several buildings in Galena, Illinois, where he met a shy salesclerk named Ulysses S. Grant. At the age of 18, he dined with President Polk, later talked with President Lincoln, and had the commanding general of the U.S. Army as the best man at his wedding.
Stand Watie’s life connects the traditional Cherokee homeland in Tennessee and Georgia, the fight within the tribe over leaving for the West or staying on their homeland and trying to resist, and the Trail of Tears. At the same time, his life also includes the ongoing split between mixed-blood and full-blood Cherokee in the Cherokee Nation, and the chaos of Indian Territory during the Civil War. Like the country as a whole, the Cherokee Nation was split over the question of slavery, and with an estimated 100 slaves owned, Watie was the biggest native slaveholder in the region. At the start of the war, Watie was commissioned as a colonel in Confederate service and later as a brigadier general. His 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles Regiment fought more engagements than any other Confederate unit west of the Mississippi River. As a result, Watie is perhaps the most famous figure of a widely overlooked aspect of the Civil War.

Trumpocalypse - Restoring...

Anónimo

""I don't take responsibility at all."" Those words of Donald Trump at a March 13, 2020, press conference are likely to be history's epitaph on his presidency.
A huge swath of Americans have put their faith in Trump, and Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that doesn’t have a place for them.
If they would risk their lives for Trump in a pandemic, they will certainly risk the stability of American democracy. They brought the Trumpocalypse upon the country, and a post-Trumpocalypse country will have to find a way either to reconcile them to democracy - or to protect democracy from them.
In Trumpocalypse, David Frum looks at what happens when a third of the electorate refuses to abandon Donald Trump, no matter what he does. Those voters aren’t looking for policy wins. They’re seeking cultural revenge.
It is not enough to defeat Donald Trump on election day 2020. Even if Trump peacefully departs office, the trauma he inflicted will distort American and world politics for years to come. Americans must start from where they are, build from what they have, to repair the damage Trump inflicted on the country, to amend the wrongs that, under Trump, they inflicted upon each other.
Americans can do better. David Frum shows how—and inspires all readers of all points of view to believe again in the possibilities of American life. Trumpocalypse is both a warning of danger and a guide to reform that will be read and discussed for years to come.
