  The White Pedestal - How White...

  It is difficult to ignore the resurgence of white nationalist movements in the United States, many of which employ symbols and slogans from Greco-Roman antiquity. A long-established neo-Nazi website incorporates an image of the Parthenon into its logo, and rioters wore Spartan helmets in the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol. These juxtapositions may appear incongruous to people who associate the ancient world with enlightened political ideals and sophisticated philosophical inquiry. But, as Curtis Dozier points out in this thought-provoking book, it's hard to imagine a historical period better suited to rhetorical use by white nationalists. Indeed, some of the most widely admired voices from ancient literature and philosophy endorsed ideas that modern white supremacists promote, and the social and political realities of the ancient world provide models for political systems that white supremacists would like to establish today. Part introduction to contemporary white nationalist thought, part exploration of ancient racism and xenophobia, and part intellectual history of the political entanglements of academic study of the past, this book reveals that contemporary white nationalist intellectuals know much more about history than many people assume—and they deploy this knowledge with disturbing success.

  Digging into a forgotten past - and the dead left behind.  San Francisco is famous for not having any cemeteries, but the claim isn't exactly what it seems. In the early 20th Century, the city relocated more than 150,000 graves to the nearby town of Colma to make way for a rapidly growing population. But an estimated fifty to sixty thousand burials were quietly built over and forgotten, only to resurface every time a new building project began. The dead still lie beneath some of the city's most cherished destinations, including the Legion of Honor, United Nations Plaza, the Asian Art Museum and the University of San Francisco.  Join author Beth Winegarner as she maps the city's early burial grounds and brings back to life the dead who've been erased.

  What if deception had a logic of its own? 
  In Sophist, Plato dares to tackle the concept of falsehood—not as error, but as something that seems to exist within language and thought. Through a dense but gripping dialogue between the Eleatic Stranger and Theaetetus, the discussion exposes the tricks of sophistry, the instability of language, and the paradox of how “what is not” can still be spoken of and understood. 
  This modernized audiobook delivers one of Plato’s most intellectually daring texts with clarity and precision. Perfect for thinkers, scholars, and seekers of truth. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A bold philosophical exploration of non-being, falsehood, and the metaphysics of language 
  •	A deep critique of sophistry, appearance, and rhetorical manipulation 
  •	Plato’s method of division—used to isolate philosophical concepts with surgical accuracy 
  •	A readable, listener-friendly adaptation of one of Plato’s most abstract and influential works 
  If you want to unravel the logic behind illusion and sharpen your understanding of truth, Sophist is essential listening.
