John Dewey

Sinopse

The Collected Works of John Dewey is a monumental compilation that encapsulates the vast intellectual breadth and philosophical insights of one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers. Spanning various themes such as education, democracy, and the interplay between experience and knowledge, these works evoke a pragmatic literary style that emphasizes the importance of human experience in shaping thought and action. Dewey's writings resonate within the modernist literary context, often reflecting the complexities of an evolving societal landscape through a lens that seeks to bring philosophical abstractions into practical application. John Dewey (1859-1952), an instrumental figure in the development of pragmatism and progressive education, was not only a philosopher but also a public intellectual guided by a commitment to social reform. His experiences as an educator and as a participant in the social issues of his times deeply informed his writings, making his views on education and democracy relevant not just philosophically, but also in practical terms for a society eager for change. For those seeking a comprehensive understanding of modern educational philosophy and democratic ideals, The Collected Works of John Dewey serves as an essential resource. It invites readers to engage with Dewey's transformative ideas and to consider their implications for contemporary society, making this collection an invaluable contribution to both scholars and general readers alike.

The Great Famine of 1896-1897 -...

Sarah Willards

The Great Famine of 1896-1897 was one of the most devastating periods of hunger and suffering in colonial India. Spanning across large regions, particularly in the Deccan Plateau, this famine marked a tragic chapter in the history of British colonial rule. It resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of people, although the exact number remains disputed due to the limited data available from that era. 
This famine was not an isolated event but part of a larger pattern of food scarcity issues that India faced under British colonial governance. However, the 1896-1897 famine stood out due to the scale of its impact, the widespread malnutrition it caused, and the delayed and ineffective relief efforts by the British authorities. The failure to provide adequate assistance and the harsh economic policies implemented during this period are considered by many as contributing factors to the famine’s severity. 
The environmental conditions in India played a significant role in the famine. A series of poor monsoons coupled with crop failures resulted in a severe food shortage. However, the effects of the famine were compounded by British policies that prioritized export of food grains from India to feed the empire’s industrial needs. This practice exacerbated food scarcity in the affected regions, leaving local populations without the resources they needed to survive.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
It is obvious that there is a great deal of difference between being international and being cosmopolitan. All good men are international. Nearly all bad men are cosmopolitan. If we are to be international we must be national. And it is largely because those who call themselves the friends of peace have not dwelt sufficiently on this distinction that they do not impress the bulk of any of the nations to which they belong. International peace means a peace between nations, not a peace after the destruction of nations, like the Buddhist peace after the destruction of personality. The golden age of the good European is like the heaven of the Christian: it is a place where people will love each other; not like the heaven of the Hindu, a place where they will be each other. And in the case of national character this can be seen in a curious way. It will generally be found, I think, that the more a man really appreciates and admires the soul of another people the less he will attempt to imitate it; he will be conscious that there is something in it too deep and too unmanageable to imitate. The Englishman who has a fancy for France will try to be French; the Englishman who admires France will remain obstinately English. This is to be particularly noticed in the case of our relations with the French, because it is one of the outstanding peculiarities of the French that their vices are all on the surface, and their extraordinary virtues concealed. One might almost say that their vices are the flower of their virtues.
