    What if the artist wasn’t a master of his craft—but a mouthpiece for something divine? 
In Ion, Plato explores the nature of poetic inspiration in a lively exchange between Socrates and the rhapsode Ion. Ion claims mastery over Homer’s verses, but Socrates questions whether such talent comes from knowledge or from divine possession. 
This modern translation brings Plato’s insight into the modern era, opening a timeless discussion about where creativity truly comes from—and what that means for artists, performers, and thinkers alike. 
What you'll discover inside: 
•	The Origins of Artistic Inspiration – Explore Plato’s view of creativity as divine madness 
•	Socrates’ Challenge to Poetic Pride – Ion’s mastery is questioned by reason itself 
•	Art, Prophecy, and the Irrational – Connect poetry to prophecy and the mysteries of the human mind 
•	A Modern, Engaging Translation – Clear and accessible, with Plato’s irony and brilliance intact 
Whether you’re a poet, philosopher, or curious mind, Ion will challenge how you understand genius—and where it comes from.

    The Republic by Plato is a philosophical text that addresses the question of justice. 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.

    Populism - What Everyone Needs...

    Why do populists come to power? Are they a threat to democracy? Has the rise of global populism reached its peak, or is it just beginning? This book provides answers to these questions and many more, by summarizing in non-technical language the vast research literature on populism that extends across political science, economics, sociology, psychology, and history. Going well beyond the usual cases of Trump and Brexit, Paul D. Kenny provides evidence both of the recurrent global appeal of populism, and of its often deleterious consequences.Populism: What Everyone Needs to Know® advances a new approach to defining populism that helps to make sense of the most robust research findings to date, and that sets up an exciting and dynamic approach in research for the years to come. Populism is, at heart, a political movement that challenges the institutional status quo. The great paradox of populism is that while people are often justifiably resentful of a system they feel is rigged against them, their reliance on charismatic leaders to channel their frustrations usually harms rather than helps democracy.
