    A vivid account of the political triumphs and domestic tragedies of the Jewish king Herod the Great during the turmoil of the Roman revolution 
     
     
      
    Herod the Great (73–4 BCE) was a phenomenally energetic ruler who took advantage of the chaos of the Roman revolution to establish himself as a major figure in a changing Roman world and transform the landscape of Judaea. Both Jews and Christians developed myths about his cruelty and rashness: in Christian tradition he was cast as the tyrant who ordered the Massacre of the Innocents; in the Talmud, despite fond memories of his glorious Temple in Jerusalem, he was recalled as a persecutor of rabbis. 
     
     
      
    The life of Herod is better documented than that of any other Jew from antiquity, and Martin Goodman examines the extensive literary and archaeological evidence to provide a vivid portrait of Herod in his sociopolitical context: his Idumaean origins, his installation by Rome as king of Judaea and cultivation of leading Romans, his massive architectural projects, and his presentation of himself as a Jew, most strikingly through the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple. Goodman argues that later stories depicting Herod as a monster derived from public interest in his execution of three of his sons after dramatic public trials foisted on him by a dynastic policy imposed by the Roman emperor.

    Jacques Derrida, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, revolutionized the way we think about language, meaning, and interpretation. His development of the concept of deconstruction has left a profound impact on philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. To understand Derrida's legacy, it is essential to explore the key elements of his intellectual journey and how his ideas continue to shape contemporary discourse. 
    Derrida was born in Algeria in 1930, and his philosophical development was deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of post-war Europe, particularly phenomenology, structuralism, and existentialism. His work challenged the assumptions that underpinned much of Western thought, especially the metaphysical foundations of philosophy. One of his central concerns was the question of meaning and how it is constructed. He argued that meaning is never fixed, but instead is constantly shifting and dependent on a network of differences. This idea of différance, a term Derrida coined to describe the interplay of differences in language, became a cornerstone of his philosophy. 
    At the heart of Derrida's thought is the critique of the Western philosophical tradition, which he believed had centered itself around binary oppositions—such as presence/absence, speech/writing, and mind/body. These oppositions, Derrida argued, are not natural or inherent, but rather are constructed and perpetuated through language. By deconstructing these binaries, Derrida aimed to reveal the hidden power structures and assumptions that shaped our understanding of the world. He proposed that language itself is unstable, always in flux, and that meaning can never be fully contained or reduced to simple terms.

    Brainwashing is a process that manipulates an individual’s thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions, often without their conscious awareness. It is rooted in psychological principles that exploit the way the human mind processes information, reacts to stress, and seeks social belonging. By systematically breaking down existing thought patterns and replacing them with new ones, brainwashing can reshape an individual’s identity, morality, and loyalty. Understanding the psychology behind this phenomenon reveals why it is so effective and why some people are more susceptible than others. 
    At its core, brainwashing relies on cognitive dissonance, a psychological state that occurs when a person holds conflicting beliefs or values. When subjected to persistent pressure, individuals experience discomfort and seek to resolve the inconsistency. This vulnerability makes them more likely to accept new ideas, especially if rejecting them would lead to further psychological distress. Manipulators use this to their advantage, gradually shifting a person’s perception by presenting them with controlled information while isolating them from opposing viewpoints. Over time, the person internalizes the new ideology, often without realizing they have been influenced. 
    Another key psychological mechanism in brainwashing is the use of repetition. The more frequently an idea is presented, the more familiar and acceptable it becomes. Studies in cognitive psychology suggest that repeated exposure to a particular message strengthens neural pathways, making certain thoughts or beliefs more automatic. This is why propaganda, advertising, and even extremist ideologies rely heavily on repetition—constant reinforcement solidifies the desired mindset. The brain, overwhelmed by a lack of alternative perspectives, begins to default to the new beliefs as truth.
