Synopsis

Athens Legacy explores the profound impact of Athens on Western civilization, focusing on Athenian philosophy, the Olympic Games, and Athenian democracy. It argues that Athens uniquely blended intellectual inquiry, physical prowess, and civic engagement.

 
The book highlights how the Olympic Games were not just athletic competitions, but also religious and cultural events fostering a pan-Hellenic identity. Similarly, the evolution of Athenian democracy, while groundbreaking, also presented limitations, such as the exclusion of women from political life.

 
The book systematically progresses from pre-Socratic philosophers to the rise of Athenian democracy, then to the Olympic Games, analyzing the works of Plato and Aristotle, Athenian drama, and architecture.

 
By drawing on primary sources like Plato and Aristotle, along with archaeological findings, it provides a balanced assessment of Athens' enduring contribution.

 
The book culminates by tracing the influence of Athenian ideals on subsequent civilizations, examining both successes and failures in their adoption which makes it valuable to those interested in Philosophy, History World, and World History.

    Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher who lived in ancient India between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is the founder of Buddhism, one of the major religions of the world. Buddha was born into a royal family, but he renounced his luxurious lifestyle at the age of 29 to seek the truth about life and the nature of suffering. He spent six years as a wandering ascetic before attaining enlightenment at the age of 35. The Buddha's teachings, known as the Dharma, revolve around the Four Noble Truths, which explain the nature of suffering and the path to its cessation. The core message of Buddhism is that suffering arises from craving and attachment, and that liberation can be attained through the practice of the Eightfold Path, which includes meditation, mindfulness, ethical conduct, and wisdom. 
     
    The Buddha's teachings have had a profound impact on the spiritual and cultural history of Asia and beyond. His teachings spread rapidly throughout India and other parts of Asia, and they continue to inspire millions of people today. The Buddha's emphasis on non-violence, compassion, and the importance of the present moment has also resonated with many in the West. In addition to his spiritual teachings, the Buddha also provided practical guidance on social and ethical issues. He advocated for the abolition of caste distinctions, the treatment of animals with compassion, and the importance of community and social harmony. 
     
    Buddha's teachings continue to be relevant and inspiring today. His teachings on the nature of suffering, impermanence, and the importance of self-awareness are particularly relevant in today's fast-paced and materialistic world.

    Jose "Pepin" Almeida is an unlikely hero. He never acted in the movies, never threw the winning pass, never sat in high office. Even his involvement in the event that u-turned his life, the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, failed and became a national embarrassment. 
    He laments, "We were in a helpless and hopeless situation." But Pepin Almeida soon, out of necessity, created his own hope. Denied all tangible things- clothes, family, food, he discovered his soul, his only true possession.

    Presence - The Strange Science...

    A psychologist’s journey to understand one of the most unusual experiences known to humankind: the universal, disturbing feeling that someone is there when we are alone 
     
    These experiences of sensing a “presence” when no one else is there have been given many names—the Third Man, guardian angels, shadow figures, “social” hallucinations—and they have inspired, unsettled, and confounded in equal measure. 
     
    While the contexts in which they occur are diverse, they are united by a distinct and uncanny feeling of visitation. But what does this feeling mean, and where does it come from? When and why do presences emerge? And how can we even begin to understand a phenomenon that can be transformative for those who  
    experience it, and yet so hard to put into words? 
     
    The answers to these questions lie in this tour de force, which takes readers through contemporary psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and philosophy.  
     
    Presence follows Ben Alderson-Day’s attempts—as a psychologist and a researcher—to understand how this experience is possible. What is a voice when it isn’t heard, and how otherwise do we know or feel that someone is in our presence? Is it a hallucination, a change in the working of the brain, or something else? 
     
    The journey to understand takes us to meet explorers, mediums, and robots, andallows us to step through real, imagined, and virtual worlds. Presence is the story of who we carry with us, at all times, as parts of ourselves.
