Sinopse

In "Taoist Teachings From the Book of Lieh Tzŭ," Lie Yukou delivers an eloquent translation and interpretation of this foundational Taoist text, which is attributed to the philosopher Liezi. This book intricately weaves together parables and philosophical reflections that emphasize spontaneity, the relativity of concepts, and the exploration of the nature of the Dao (the Way). Written in a lyrical style reminiscent of classical Chinese prose, Yukou captures the rich metaphors and profound wisdom of the original teachings, allowing modern readers to appreciate the depth of Taoist philosophy within its historical context. Lie Yukou, a dedicated scholar of Taoist texts, draws from a deep well of both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions. His background in comparative literature and philosophy provides him with a unique lens through which he engages with the timeless wisdom of Liezi. The author's extensive research into ancient Chinese thought and practice enriches this work, making it not only a translation but also a thoughtful commentary on the application of these teachings in contemporary life. This book is recommended for scholars and lay readers alike who are interested in delving into the Taoist worldview. Yukou's insightful interpretations and the accessible style make it an essential addition to any library dedicated to Eastern philosophy, spiritual growth, or the greater quest for understanding the human experience.

  • Yamnaya Culture The: The History of the Steppe Nomads in the Bronze Age - cover

    Yamnaya Culture The: The History...

    After the Mongols rode across the steppes of Asia and Eastern Europe and steppe nomads like the Magyars and Cumans became major military and cultural forces in Europe, the steppe nomads became notorious as foreign marauders who rode the steppes looking for plunder and riches, but they rarely stayed long after they got what they wanted. In reality, these groups represented vanguards of a massive nomadic horde that grew in ferocity and effectiveness as the centuries passed, and they were far more than mindless barbarians interested in violence alone – in fact, contemporary sources reveal they were also interested in diplomacy and eventually integrated with their sedentary neighbors. 
    	The actual history of these groups makes sense considering there were steppe nomads like them that lived in the region thousands of years earlier, back to around the time the Copper Age transitioned into the Bronze Age. The Fertile Crescent of Mesopotamia and the Levant are often referred to as the “cradle of civilization” because those lands hosted some of the world’s earliest complex societies began, but several hundred miles to the north, equally important advances in civilization were happening at the same time. North of the Caucus Mountains near the shores of the Black Sea on the Ukrainian-Russian steppes, the ancestors of Indo-European peoples were domesticating horses, dogs, and inventing the wheel in the late 5th and early 4th millennia BCE. A number of different localized ‘proto’ Indo-European cultures formed at this time that eventually coalesced into the larger culture that is today known as the Yamnaya culture. 
    	From about 3400-2600 BCE, the Yamnaya culture stretched from southeastern Europe into central Asia, greatly affecting other contemporary cultures in Europe and the Near East. The hallmarks of Yamnaya culture adopted by other cultures in the Near East and Europe include the use of metal tools and weapons.

    Circus Maximus and the Colosseum...

    The ambitious and fearless emperors that built the legendary Roman Empire from scratch, the broad-shouldered and bronzed gladiators with their iconic plume helmets and glinting swords, and elaborate parties attended by toga-wearing Romans fueled by alcohol, violence, orgies, and other godless acts all paint a picture of Roman life. 
    At the Circus Maximus, the guttural cheers of the spectators reverberated across the enormous open space, but their cries could hardly be heard over the rumble of the ground. On the ellipse-shaped track, 5 charioteers would skew their bodies and steer their magnificent vehicles around the curves. Gusts of sand and dirt flew up from the whizzing wheels and encircled the pounding hooves of the stunning stallions. Distracted personnel and guards dragging their feet were considered fair game. As one chariot careened to the side, preparing to collide with another chariot, a row of guards might have to try to duck out of the way in the nick of time. Some would be trampled by hooves. Chariot races were dangerous for participants too. A charioteer could become disoriented and fail to position himself as his horses moved instinctively, sending his body catapulting forward out of the chariot. Needless to say, chariot racing in Rome was a nail-biting spectacle. 
    When the Colosseum was built in the late 1st century A.D., the Romans, a people known for their architectural acumen, managed to amaze themselves. Martial believed the Colosseum was so grand a monument that it was even greater than the other Wonders of the Ancient World, which had been written about and visited endlessly by the Romans and Greeks in antiquity. The Colosseum was a spectacular achievement in architecture, something new and innovative, and therefore an amazing “Wonder” in its own way. The Colosseum is a large stadium even by today’s standards, and its great size conveys the power of the empire as it dominates the landscape and towers over nearby buildings.
