  Being Cosmopolitan - A Political...

  What does it mean to be cosmopolitan? Typically, cosmopolitanism is understood as a broad moral orientation, involving some kind of commitment to global moral equality. On this understanding, to be cosmopolitan is simply to evidence that moral orientation oneself. By contrast, Being Cosmopolitan takes up a thoroughly political approach. The focus is on what it might mean, and what it is like, to be political in a distinctly cosmopolitan form. What it means to be cosmopolitan in this thoroughly political sense cannot involve appeal to any particular moral orientation, because politics is about, inter alia, the contestation of such orientations and commitments. Instead, this book offers an account that is based upon the internalization of particular kind of global "social imaginary," involving the imagination of a global public to which certain issues—or global public affairs—are understood to pertain. 
   
   
   
  Within which kind of global order is it possible, or comfortable, for a cosmopolitical agent to live? In answer to this question, the book argues against the viability of both a world of self-determining peoples, and of "pluralist" global visions—both of which are popular with moral cosmopolitan theorists.

  Why It's Normal for Men to Cheat

  In a culture that often condemns male infidelity as a simple moral failing, Why It's Normal for Men to Cheat offers a more nuanced perspective. Author A.A. Castor delves into the deep-seated forces—evolutionary instincts, historical precedents, and psychological drivers—that shape male desire and can lead to unfaithful behavior. Far from excusing betrayal, Castor's aim is to illuminate the complex interplay between biology and culture, ultimately inviting a more compassionate and informed dialogue about what it means to be faithful in a modern world. 
  Drawing on fields such as psychology, anthropology, and relationship studies, Castor examines how factors like testosterone, societal power dynamics, and personal insecurities converge to influence men's actions. Through real-life stories and data-driven insights, readers gain a clearer understanding of how male infidelity can emerge from natural impulses, yet still inflict profound emotional harm on partners and families. 
  At its core, Why It's Normal for Men to Cheat is a call to self-awareness and accountability. Castor underscores that while natural drives are powerful, they do not override the moral responsibility we hold in committed relationships. By unpacking the taboo surrounding male infidelity, the book paves the way for honest conversations about trust, desire, and the boundaries that sustain healthy connections. Whether you have experienced betrayal firsthand or simply wish to understand the complexities of human sexuality, this book offers a balanced exploration that encourages empathy, introspection, and the possibility of genuine healing.

  Beauty is a feeling. 
  Had we not looked at the rose would it have been beautiful? 
  Had the name of rose not been rose but instead it would have been something else then would we have loved it? 
  Nothing matters with the name. 
  If we look at the rose and say it's beautiful then it becomes beautiful. 
  Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. 
  Whatever creates happiness in our mind that is beautiful. 
  All the feelings are being controlled by hormones. So, the feeling of beauty, form, flavour, fragrance, touch, music every feeling is the creation of hormones. In one word we can say everything is illusion.

  The Sixth History of Man

  MD John Bershof

  In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
  The Sixth History of Man is the last narrative in the History of Man Series that uses infection as the underlying foundation. The series will continue but use other disease platforms for jumping off. From a human infection perspective, this sixth book will visit with the King of Pop Michael Jackson, vitiligo and propofol, the famous and infamous sexually transmitted diseases—herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, HIV and the granddaddy of colorful stories, syphilis—with their very entertaining tales, a world of romance, suspense, and thrillers. We’ll hop from science to art to music, going back in time to the astronomy of the Persians, Syrians, the Greek Aristotle and on to Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler. Our travels will take us to the Renaissance of art and music, stopping along a few stations, such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Monet. A discussion of why and how humans went from spoken language to written language is on our menu. We will pay homage with another visit with the First Viennese School, parse senility, delirium, and dementia and most assuredly discuss the women who helped build Johns Hopkins Hospital. OK Boomers! and the sociology of cohort generations will help complete this narrative.
