Sinossi

In "The Art of War," Niccolò Machiavelli presents a profound treatise on military strategy, intertwining philosophical insights with practical advice. Written in the early 16th century, this work reflects the tumultuous political landscape of Renaissance Italy, where city-states vied for power. Machiavelli's literary style is characterized by clarity and directness, employing a dialogue between a general and his student to explicate the principles of warfare, the organization of troops, and the importance of discipline and strategy. Through this dialogue, readers gain an understanding of the interplay between war and politics, uncovering the necessity of military preparedness in achieving and maintaining civic stability. Machiavelli, a diplomat and historian, drew on his experiences in the tumult of Italian wars and the collapse of traditional medieval structures to inform his writings. His keen observations on power dynamics and human nature shape his arguments in "The Art of War," where he emphasizes the importance of a well-trained citizen army over mercenaries, reflecting his belief in the tie between military prowess and civic virtue. This book is essential for anyone seeking to grasp the intricate relationship between warfare and statecraft. It serves as a foundational text for military and political strategy, revealing insights that remain relevant in contemporary discussions of governance and power. Readers will find Machiavelli's analysis not only intellectually stimulating but also practically applicable to modern strategic thought.

    Recorded on March 30 and 31, 1969 at a New York City sculpture studio, these are the original talks by Ram Dass that became basis for his seminal book, Be Here Now. Over 40 years later, Be Here Now still stands as the highly readable centerpiece of Western articulation of Eastern philosophy and continues to be the instruction manual of choice for generations of spiritual seekers. 
     
    
     
    Ram Dass talks about how we can be present and utterly accepting of each moment in life as it is in the here and now, and uses stories such as the Sermon on the Mount and the teachings of Ramakrishna to illustrate concepts such as finding the sacred in the “profane”, grasping and why we do it, yin and yang duality and oneness, and unconditional love. 
     
    
     
    These talks are a primer on the fundamental underpinnings of so many spiritual practices popular today. We are also extremely pleased to have the inspired artwork of Peter Max on this digital download cover. 
     
    
     
    Following is a transcribed excerpt from one of these seminal teachings: "If I think life is just a game, then I am taking from it the meaning of its acts. I am denigrating the precious nature of the life process. Do you think the man that made the music stand was able to make a more exquisite music stand because he was not attached to making a music stand? Do you think he really got closer to the essence of music standness because he did not remain in subject object relation to the music stand? That’s the issue."

    Humanism - Celebrating Human...

    Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively. At its core, humanism advocates for the belief that humans are capable of leading meaningful lives based on reason, ethics, and justice. It is grounded in the understanding that humans have the capacity for rational thought, empathy, and creativity, which are fundamental to the flourishing of individuals and societies. 
    The roots of humanism can be traced back to the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome, where the focus was on human potential and the pursuit of knowledge. However, it gained significant momentum during the Renaissance, a period marked by a renewed interest in classical antiquity and a shift away from religious dogma toward human-centered exploration. Renaissance thinkers, such as Petrarch and Erasmus, championed the importance of human dignity, education, and the ability to shape one's own destiny through knowledge and reason. These principles would later influence the development of modern humanist thought. 
    Unlike religious philosophies that place divine beings at the center of moral order, humanism is secular in nature. It does not rely on supernatural explanations or interventions, but rather promotes the idea that humans themselves are responsible for creating meaning and morality in their lives. Humanism calls for an ethical framework based on reason, scientific inquiry, and compassion, with the goal of improving human well-being and contributing to the common good.
