Sinopse

In "Seneca's Morals of a Happy Life, Benefits, Anger and Clemency," the Roman philosopher Seneca delves into the intricacies of ethical living through a Stoic lens. Each essay provides profound insights into achieving personal happiness and societal harmony, emphasizing the mastery of emotions, particularly anger, and the virtues of clemency and benefaction. Seneca's eloquent prose, marked by a contemplative style and rich rhetorical flourishes, situates these meditations within the broader context of Roman moral philosophy, addressing both personal well-being and communal responsibility. Seneca, a key figure in Stoic philosophy and a statesman, faced numerous personal hardships, including political exile and familial tragedy, that deeply informed his ethical perspectives. His lived experiences under the tumultuous reign of Nero undoubtedly motivated him to seek a framework for resilience and moral integrity, thereby articulating a path to inner peace amidst external chaos. Seneca's philosophical writings reflect his desire to guide individuals towards a reflective and meaningful life, rooted in virtue. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking a practical approach to Stoicism alongside insight into human psychology. Seneca's reflections are not only timeless but also remarkably prescient, inviting contemporary readers to cultivate tranquility and purpose in their own lives.

    Apology by Plato is a crucial Socratic dialogue that provides an understanding of the philosopher's own views on the trial and execution of Socrates. The work serves as a defence speech given by Socrates as he attempts to persuade the court of his innocence. By providing an insight into his philosophical beliefs, Plato uses the Apology to articulate his teacher's thoughts on justice, virtue, piety and moral responsibility. Read in English, unabridged.

    When we think of Ancient Egypt, we picture movies with mazes, pyramids, traps, mummies, and symbols. And although some of these things were definitely part of it, there is so much more to this ancient civilization. 
    Ancient Egypt was a North African society that grew in the lower banks of the Nile River, in what's now the nation of Egypt. Following ancient Egypt, old Egyptian civilization culminated circa 3100 BC (according to basic Egyptian chronology) with Menes' political marriage of Upper and Lower Egypt (usually related to Narmer). The Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age, and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age formed a series of steady kingdoms split up by periods of relative instability called Intermediate Durations. 
    Let’s explore some of the most important features of that society today, and try to grasp what transpired in the culture, the thoughts, the problems, and the development of the Egyptian region more than 5,000 years ago.

    “You have taken our civil rights—we want our human rights.”
    		 
    On April 14, 1971, a handful of prisoners attacked the guards at Kingston Penitentiary and seized control, making headlines around the world. For four intense days, the prisoners held the guards hostage while their leaders negotiated with a citizens’ committee of journalists and lawyers, drawing attention to the dehumanizing realities of their incarceration, including overcrowding, harsh punishment and extreme isolation. But when another group of convicts turned their pent-up rage towards some of the weakest prisoners, tensions inside the old stone walls erupted, with tragic consequences. As heavily armed soldiers prepared to regain control of the prison through a full military assault, the inmates were finally forced to surrender.
    		 
    Murder on the Inside tells the harrowing story of a prison in crisis against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in the history of human rights. Occurring just months before the uprising at Attica Prison, the Kingston riot has remained largely undocumented, and few have known the details—yet the tense drama chronicled here is more relevant today than ever. A gripping account of the standoff and the efforts for justice and reform it inspired, Murder on the Inside is essential reading for our times.
