Summary

In "John Dewey: Philosophical Works," the seminal American philosopher encapsulates his innovative contributions to pragmatism, education, and democracy. Dewey's writing style is marked by clarity and a commitment to practical implications, making complex philosophical concepts accessible to a broader audience. The collection reflects the early 20th-century intellectual climate, emphasizing the interplay between experience and thought, thus situating Dewey within the larger context of American idealism while challenging traditional dogmas of the time. His philosophical inquiries extend beyond abstract theorizing to address pressing social issues, advocating for progressive education and experiential learning as essential to fostering a democratic society. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a pivotal figure in the development of modern educational theory and social reform, deeply influenced by his experiences within the context of an evolving America. His philosophical journey was informed by a belief in the social nature of knowledge and the importance of education as a vehicle for social change. Dewey's teachings at institutions like the University of Chicago and Columbia University reflect his dedication to creating a more participatory democratic society, a vision that permeates this collection of his works. For readers interested in philosophy, education, or social theory, "John Dewey: Philosophical Works" is an essential anthology that provides insight into Dewey's transformative ideas. This collection not only enhances understanding of his philosophical legacy but also serves as a guide for contemporary discourses on democracy and learning, making it invaluable for scholars, educators, and anyone seeking to engage with Dewey's enduringly relevant ideas.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.136 by Tan Acharn Kor Khao-suan-luang (Upāsikā Kee Ñāṇayon), 'A Good Dose of Dhamma: For Meditators WhenThey Are Ill' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. Translated from the Thai by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. 
     
    Excerpt from Chapter 1 
    "Normally, illness is something we all have, but the type of illness where you can still do your work isn’t recognised as illness. It is called the normal human state all over the world. Yet really, when the body is in its normal state, it is still ill in and of itself. People in general are simply unaware of the fact that there is the deterioration of physical and mental phenomena, continually, from moment to moment. 
    The way people get carried away with their thoughts and preoccupations while they’re still strong enough to do this and do that: that’s really complacency. They’re no match at all for people lying in bed ill.People lying in bed ill are lucky because they have the opportunity to do nothing but contemplate stress and pain. Their minds don’t take up anything else, don’t go anywhere else. They can contemplate pain at all times—and let go of pain at all times as well."

    The ancient Greeks have long been considered the forefathers of modern Western civilization, but the Golden Age of Athens and the spread of Greek influence across much of the known world only occurred due to one of the most crucial battles of antiquity: the Battle of Marathon. The Battle of Marathon proved to be one of the biggest sources of enmity between the Greeks and Persians, and Darius’s son Xerxes would seek to undo the results with his own invasion just years later. As it was, the rivalry between the Greeks and Persians would last for over 150 years and culminated with Alexander the Great’s destruction of the Achaemenid Persian capital city of Persepolis.  
    Although the Romans gained the upper hand over Carthage in the wake of the First Punic War, the legendary Carthaginian general Hannibal brought the Romans to their knees for over a decade during the Second Punic War. While military historians are still amazed that he was able to maintain his army in Italy near Rome for nearly 15 years, scholars are still puzzled over some of his decisions, including why he never attempted to march on Rome in the first place. Regardless, Hannibal was such a threat that the Romans responded in an unprecedented nature when the Carthaginians resumed the campaigning season in the spring of 216 B.C. by capturing the city of Cannae. 	Cannae is still considered one of the greatest tactical victories in the history of warfare, and the fact the battle was a complete victory resulting in the wholesale annihilation of the enemy army made it the textbook example for military commanders to try to duplicate. Of course, others usually were unsuccessful. Cannae was the kind of complete victory that every commander from Caesar to Frederick the Great to Napoleon to Robert E. Lee sought, and that few generals save Caesar and Napoleon bagged whole armies is a testament to the near impossibility of achieving a victory like Cannae.
