Sinossi

Kazan Conquests explores Ivan the Terrible's 16th-century siege and capture of Kazan, a pivotal event that reshaped Russia. This book analyzes the military strategies employed during the Kazan campaigns, revealing how the conquest facilitated Russian expansion eastward and transformed the nation's relationship with the Islamic world. The fall of Kazan was more than just a military victory; it laid the foundation for Russia's imperial ambitions and solidified the autocratic nature of the Russian state. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from military, political, economic, and cultural history to offer a comprehensive understanding. It investigates the conquest's long-term consequences, including its impact on demographics, culture, and religion in the Volga region. For instance, the conquest led to significant cultural interactions between the Russians and the Tatars, influencing both societies. Beginning with the political landscape of 16th-century Eastern Europe, Kazan Conquests chronologically recounts the Kazan campaigns, culminating in the 1552 siege. It then analyzes the conquest's lasting effects on Russian society, from military organization to cultural identity. This book provides valuable insights into the forces that shaped the Russian state and its interactions with diverse cultures, making it an essential read for those interested in Russian history and imperial expansion.

In the text, Plato argues that justice is not simply a matter of following the laws of the city, but rather is something that must be based on the ideal state of the city. For Plato, the ideal state is one in which all citizens are able to participate in the ruling of the city.

In Their Own Words - Testimony...

Darren Grimes

What is the cost of an education? 
Is education an additive process or a reductive one? 
How does one weigh the benefits of tradition against the threat of being at odds with the future? 
How does one refuse the offer of a better life for their children? 
What if the offer is compulsory? 
What happens when the tree of knowledge bares rotten fruit? 
While the history of Canada's Residential School program is only just beginning 
to be unearthed, there are already enough first hand accounts to begin asking 
some of these questions. The words of the individuals included in this book 
offer just a glimpse of the results of the effort of one group of people to 
educate people who were in many cases not seeking the knowledge being 
offered. These are tales of lessons learned, languages lost, traditions 
replaced, & charity corrupted.

America’s Philosopher - John...

Claire Rydell Arcenas

America’s Philosopher examines how John Locke has been interpreted, reinterpreted, and misinterpreted over three centuries of American history. 
  
The influence of polymath philosopher John Locke (1632–1704) can still be found in a dizzying range of fields, as his writings touch on issues of identity, republicanism, and the nature of knowledge itself. Claire Rydell Arcenas’s new book tells the story of Americans’ longstanding yet ever-mutable obsession with this English thinker’s ideas, a saga whose most recent manifestations have found the so-called Father of Liberalism held up as a right-wing icon. 
 
The first book to detail Locke’s trans-Atlantic influence from the eighteenth century until today, America’s Philosopher shows how and why interpretations of his ideas have captivated Americans in ways few other philosophers—from any nation—ever have. As Arcenas makes clear, each generation has essentially remade Locke in its own image, taking inspiration and transmuting his ideas to suit the needs of the particular historical moment. Drawing from a host of vernacular sources to illuminate Locke’s often contradictory impact on American daily and intellectual life from before the Revolutionary War to the present, Arcenas delivers a pathbreaking work in the history of ideas.
