Sinopse

The "Tâo Teh King," attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi, is a foundational text of Daoism that intricately weaves together philosophy and poetry. Comprising 81 chapters, this profound work explores the concept of the Dao (the Way) and the Teh (virtue), presenting a vision of harmony with the natural world. Written in a sparse, yet evocative style, the text employs paradox and metaphor to impart wisdom about governance, personal conduct, and the art of living in accordance with the Dao, challenging conventional notions of morality and societal norms. Laozi, a figure shrouded in legend, is believed to have lived in the 6th century BCE. His experiences as a philosopher and historian in the court of the Zhou dynasty likely shaped his worldview, leading him to advocate for a return to simplicity and spontaneity amidst societal excess. His teachings emphasize the importance of humility and restraint, reflecting the tension between personal enlightenment and the demands of political life, which resonates throughout the "Tâo Teh King." This text invites readers to embark on a transformative journey toward self-discovery and inner peace, making it essential reading for anyone interested in Eastern philosophy, spiritual practice, or the exploration of harmony in a turbulent world. Its timeless wisdom continues to inspire and challenge individuals across cultures, making it a profound addition to any literary or philosophical library.

    In our modern world of propaganda, social media enclaves, misinformation, and manipulation, the connection between "the will of the people" and political action has broken down, political divisions are becoming increasingly intractable, and democracies are growing ever more ungovernable. Democracy is in crisis. 
     
     
     
    In Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?, James S. Fishkin argues that deliberative democracy can have surprisingly positive effects on all of these problems and charts a unique path to fixing them with his method of Deliberative Polling. After decades of applying and perfecting the methods of deliberative democracy in countries all over the world, this book synthesizes the results of 150 applications and shows how the method can be applied to resolve many of democracy's seemingly intractable challenges. It can clarify the public will and depolarize our divisions. 
     
     
     
    Fishkin demonstrates that deliberative democracy is a practical solution if applied widely and lays out a vision for how to combine elections with deliberation to build a more deliberative society, one that cures our extreme partisanship and leads to substantive dialogues that foster mutual respect and more engaged voters. Deliberation provides a story of thoughtful empowerment and democratic reform, strengthening but not replacing our current institutions.

    “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.
