Synopsis

In "The Republic of Cicero," the renowned Roman statesman and philosopher explores the intricate relationship between justice, governance, and the role of the individual within the state. Written in a style that combines philosophical discourse with practical political reasoning, Cicero's work draws upon dialogues reminiscent of Plato, yet remains firmly rooted in the Roman context of Republican ideals. Through eloquent rhetoric and refined argumentation, Cicero grapples with the moral obligations of citizens and the nature of an ideal government, seeking to define a just society amidst the complexities of power dynamics in ancient Rome. Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) not only served as a senator and consul but was also deeply engaged in the political and philosophical turbulence of his time. His personal experiences with the corruption of power and the erosion of the Republic likely fueled his philosophical inquiries in this work. As a prolific writer, Cicero was influenced by the Greek philosophical traditions while striving to apply their insights to the realities of Roman governance, thus providing a bridge between philosophical thought and practical politics. This book is indispensable for readers interested in political philosophy, ancient Rome, or the foundational principles of governance. Cicero's insights remain relevant today, posing timeless questions about justice and the responsibilities of citizenship, making "The Republic of Cicero" an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    Finally, a philosophy book that won't make you contemplate throwing yourself into the abyss! " WHAT THE HELL" tears into Ludwig Wittgenstein—history's most insufferable genius—with savage wit and zero academic pretension. 
    Journey through the mind-bending contradictions of a trust-fund philosopher who claimed to solve all philosophical problems (twice!), while making everyone around him miserable. Discover how a man who couldn't maintain a single healthy relationship somehow revolutionized our understanding of language, meaning, and communication. 
    From his early days writing numbered lists so pretentious they make Instagram influencers look humble, to his later career interrupting people to tell them they're using words wrong, this book exposes Wittgenstein in all his paradoxical glory. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question whether language has any meaning at all—just like Ludwig wanted! 
    Whether you're a philosophy student desperately seeking comic relief, or simply enjoy watching neurotic geniuses get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide proves that even the most profound philosophical insights can come from someone you'd absolutely hate to be seated next to at dinner. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting in libraries and concerned looks from serious academics.

    Life Is Short - An Appropriately...

    Why life's shortness—more than anything else—is what makes it meaningful 
     
     
     
    Death might seem to render pointless all our attempts to create a meaningful life. Doesn't meaning require transcending death through an afterlife or in some other way? On the contrary, Dean Rickles argues, life without death would be like playing tennis without a net. Only constraints—and death is the ultimate constraint—make our actions meaningful. In Life Is Short, Rickles explains why the finiteness and shortness of life is the essence of its meaning—and how this insight is the key to making the most of the time we do have. 
     
     
     
    Life Is Short explores how death limits our options and forces us to make choices that forge a life and give the world meaning. But people often live in a state of indecision, in a misguided attempt to keep their options open. This provisional way of living—always looking elsewhere, to the future, to other people, to other ways of being, and never committing to what one has or, alternatively, putting in the time and energy to achieve what one wants—is a big mistake, and Life Is Short tells listeners how to avoid this trap. By reminding us how extraordinary it is that we have any time to live at all, Life Is Short challenges us to rethink what gives life meaning and how to make the most of it.
