Sinopsis

In "Four Phases of Morals: Socrates, Aristotle, Christianity, Utilitarianism," John Stuart Blackie undertakes a comprehensive exploration of ethical thought, charting the evolution of morality from ancient philosophy to modern utilitarianism. This scholarly work deftly intertwines historical analysis with philosophical discourse, offering a critical examination of the moral frameworks established by Socrates and Aristotle, the transformative influence of Christianity, and the consequentialist perspectives introduced by utilitarian thinkers. Blackie's prose is articulate and incisive, presenting complex ideas in an accessible manner while situating them within a broader intellectual tradition that reflects the tensions and dialogues among different moral philosophies. John Stuart Blackie, a prominent Scottish scholar of the 19th century, brings a unique blend of classical education and deep engagement with contemporary ethical issues to this text. His background in classical studies and a fervent belief in the application of philosophical principles to everyday life motivated him to bridge these varied moral approaches, fostering a deeper understanding of their implications in both personal and social contexts. Blackie's writings reflect his commitment to education and the belief in cultivating a moral society through philosophical engagement. This book is essential for anyone interested in moral philosophy, offering profound insights that resonate in today's ethical discussions. Readers will benefit from Blackie's erudition and passion as he guides them through this intricate landscape of moral thought, encouraging reflection and engagement with the beliefs that underpin our societal values.

    Robert Wedderburn - British...

    Robert Wedderburn (1762-1834/5) was one of the most charismatic, irascible, and radical intellectuals of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Atlantic world. Born to an enslaved woman and a slavemaster in Jamaica, and moving in the radical working-class circles of London, Wedderburn made his name as a fiery political writer and orator—before dying, forgotten, in poverty. 
     
     
      
    Among the few abolitionists bold enough to publicly call for the enslaved in the British West Indies to rise up and violently overthrow their colonial "masters," Wedderburn was also among the most outspoken and—amid an increasingly repressive British establishment—dangerous advocates for domestic political reform and working-class rights. 
     
     
      
    From award-winning scholar Ryan Hanley, this is the first full-length biography of a man increasingly recognized as central to Black radical political thought in the Revolutionary Atlantic. Tapping newly rediscovered sources, Hanley details Wedderburn's extraordinary public and private life, explores the central influence of enslaved women on his political ideas, and offers fresh analysis of his contributions to British political thought and activism.

    “It may be that I shall find it good to get outside my body — to cast it off like a worn-out garment. But I shall not cease to work. I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with God.” — Swami Vivekananda 
    Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), a well-known religious figure in America, is cherished with respect and affection by an ever increasing number of readers of his books. His genius was revealed to the world at large in the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893, where he indicated India’s rightful place in the spiritual map of the world. The first cultural ambassador of his motherland to the West, and the builder of the spiritual bridge connecting the two hemispheres, Vivekananda dreamed of One World based upon a synthesis of religion and science and a knowledge of the solidarity of humankind. In his utterances, the souls of East and West, the one oppressed by the tyranny of society and the other by the dead weight of secularism, found the way to freedom. Spiritual freedom was the central message of Swami Vivekananda. 
    This biography by Swami Nikhilananda, revealing the life and message of a great World Teacher, is inspiring to hear.

    Jemima Atar first experienced the unfolding of her complex narrative when she began exploring her life with the help of her therapist. Throughout the turmoil that characterised facing up to the truth of painful childhood trauma, Jemima’s therapist was her steadfast anchor, providing safety and support. But when he suddenly had to terminate the sessions after almost two years, Jemima found herself thrown into the depths of unfamiliar, isolating, misunderstood Grief. 
    In this personal memoir, the author continues her narrative without her therapist, letting the Grief process take the reins. Grief and Her Narrative explores a particular form of loss that is not commonly addressed in psychotherapeutic fields or elsewhere, and candidly asks the reader to be involved in asking questions, many of which have no clear answers. Through an exploration of both the common and the unique features of Jemima’s grief, this authentic memoir offers connection to readers seeking to understand their own multifaceted experiences, and invites those in the field of psychotherapy to join this neglected discussion. 
    What began as a form of therapeutic self-expression and creative rebuilding, expanded into a valuable and sensitively written work which documents grief in all its forms. The book reaches out to anyone experiencing bereavement, hopelessness, uncertainty, trauma, or suffering of any sort, and to those who simply wish to gain insight into a personal journey of recovery.
