Sinopse

Kautilya's "Arthashastra" stands as a seminal work in the realm of political philosophy and economic theory, intricately interweaving elements of statecraft, military strategy, and governance. Written in ancient India during the 4th century BCE, the text adopts a pragmatic and often realistic approach to ruling, advising rulers on the intricacies of maintaining power, diplomacy, and welfare economics. Its prose is both authoritative and illustrative, rooted in the historical precedents of Indian polity yet resonating with timeless wisdom that echoes through various political contexts, from the ancient to the modern world. Kautilya, also known as Chanakya, was not only a philosopher but a shrewd statesman and strategist, believed to have played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire. His insights were informed by his experiences in the royal court and his critical observations of governance's practicalities, contrasting the idealistic views prevalent in earlier texts. The synthesis of his life experiences and scholarly pursuits crystallizes into a guide that transcends its historical moment. "Arthashastra" is indispensable for scholars, political scientists, and leaders alike, offering a profound exploration of power dynamics that resonates across ages. Its relevance continues to spark discussion on ethical governance, making it essential reading for those interested in the machinery of state and the moral challenges that come with leadership.

  • Transgender Rights vs Women’s Rights - From Conflicts to Co-Existence - cover

    Transgender Rights vs Women’s...

    “Trans rights are human rights!” “Women’s rights are human rights!” Yes, but the human rights of two groups often conflict. The only way to resolve these conflicts is through calm, rational, public debate. Freedom of expression protects the right of women to question certain demands by trans rights activists, even if this might offend. Raising conflicts between transgender rights and women’s rights is not “transphobic”, because disagreement is not hatred. The concept of “transphobia” should be defined narrowly as statements or acts indicating hostility or prejudice towards transgender persons. If the right to speak about conflicts is protected, and we start by acknowledging the broad areas of agreement about the human rights of transgender people, we can turn to the substance of these conflicts. 
      
    Should it be possible for an individual to change their legal sex? If so, how easy should it be? Should it be changeable only after a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and a waiting period? Or should it be sufficient to “self-identify” as a person of the opposite sex? Or should sex be removed from birth certificates, so that there is nothing to change?  
      
    Robert Wintemute carefully examines these conflicts, considers the differences between transgender rights and lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) rights, and proposes ways to achieve co-existence between transgender rights and women’s and children’s rights. 
      
    "Wintemute expertly illuminates the transgender debate. His journey through time and evolving views is clear and insightful, and he examines legal, policy, and ethical challenges with depth. In an increasingly polarised environment, his respect for all rights is very refreshing."—Debbie Hayton, author of Transsexual Apostate

    Robert Rogers, commander of Rogers' Rangers during the French and Indian War, was the war's best-known colonial military hero and, in the ensuing peace, one of the best-known Americans of any description, rivaling Benjamin Franklin in popularity. Rogers is known today for his role in developing the mystique of the modern Ranger, but what explains his meteoric rise and his long, depressing fall? 
     
     
     
    Robert Rogers, Ranger: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon by Martin Klotz is a fresh look at the life of this famous, yet highly flawed man. Rogers undeniably had great personal strengths. At the same time Rogers had enormous weaknesses that undermined his ability to lead effectively. Rogers never found a comfortable place in America. Instead, his aristocratic patrons in London, who knew him mostly from his own self-description, gave him his most valuable opportunities, including commanding an important military and trading center on the colonial frontier and establishing the Queen's Rangers to fight alongside Crown forces during the Revolution. But when the British cause failed in America, Rogers became an anathema on both sides of the Atlantic. A fascinating inquiry into an eighteenth-century life, Robert Rogers, Ranger presents this American legend as he lived, crossing the line between fame and misfortune.

    In a sparkling social history, Skirts traces the shifting roles of women over the twentieth century through the era's most iconic and influential dresses. 
     
     
     
    While the story of women's liberation has often been framed by the growing acceptance of pants over the twentieth century, the most important and influential female fashions of the era featured skirts. Suffragists and soldiers marched in skirts; the heroines of the Civil Rights Movement took a stand in skirts. As women made strides towards equality in the vote, the workforce, and the world at large, their wardrobes evolved with them. 
     
     
     
    Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's Skirts looks at the history of twentieth-century womenswear through the lens of game-changing styles like the little black dress and the Bar Suit, as well as more obscure innovations like the Taxi dress or the Pop-Over dress, which came with a matching potholder. These influential garments illuminate the times in which they were first worn—and the women who wore them—while continuing to shape contemporary fashion and even opening the door for a genderfluid future of skirts. At once an authoritative work of history and a delightfully entertaining romp through decades of fashion, Skirts charts the changing fortunes, freedoms, and aspirations of women themselves.
