Synopsis

In "History of Rome," Oliver Goldsmith presents a sweeping narrative that chronicles the rise and fall of one of history's greatest empires. Blending accessible prose with a rich tapestry of historical detail, Goldsmith employs a style that is both engaging and informative, reflecting the Enlightenment's spirit of inquiry and reason. His meticulous examination of Roman governance, culture, and society is interspersed with critical reflections that invite readers to contemplate the lessons of history. The book positions itself within a broader literary context, where the fascination with antiquity and the search for moral lessons in past civilizations flourished, marking Goldsmith as a pivotal figure in the transition from classical historiography to a more popular historical narrative. Oliver Goldsmith, an accomplished Irish writer and a contemporary of renowned figures such as Samuel Johnson, possessed a deep curiosity about human nature and society, themes that resonate throughout his work. His diverse background'Äîranging from poetry to playwriting'Äîimbued his historiographical approach with both creativity and critical insight. It is this multifaceted perspective that informed Goldsmith's desire to both educate and entertain his readers about Rome's enduring significance. For readers keen on understanding the foundational pillars of Western civilization, "History of Rome" is an indispensable resource. Goldsmith's ability to elucidate complex historical events through a vivid narrative enables both casual readers and scholars to gain profound insights. This book not only educates but also enriches the reader'Äôs appreciation of history's intricate tapestry, making it a worthwhile addition to any literary collection.

    Excerpt from Individual and Society by Nyanaponika Thera
     
    The [Satipaṭṭhāna] sutta deals with the relations between ourselves and our fellow beings, between individual and society. It sums up in a succinct way the Buddhist attitude to the problems of individual and social ethics, of egoism and altruism. The gist of it is contained in those two concise sentences:
     
    “Protecting oneself, one protects others” (Attānaṃ rakkhanto paraṃ rakkhati), and
     
    “Protecting others, one protects oneself” (Paraṃ rakkhanto attānaṃ rakkhati).

    The Purposeful Graduate - Why...

    We all know that higher education has changed dramatically over the past two decades. Historically a time of exploration and self-discovery, the college years have been narrowed toward an increasingly singular goal—career training—and college students these days forgo the big questions about who they are and how they can change the world and instead focus single-mindedly on their economic survival. In The Purposeful Graduate, Tim Clydesdale elucidates just what a tremendous loss this is, for our youth, our universities, and our future as a society. At the same time, he shows that it doesn’t have to be this way: higher education can retain its higher cultural role, and students with a true sense of purpose—of personal, cultural, and intellectual value that cannot be measured by a wage—can be streaming out of every one of its institutions. The key, he argues, is simple: direct, systematic, and creative programs that engage undergraduates on the question of purpose. Backing up his argument with rich data from a Lilly Endowment grant that funded such programs on eighty-eight different campuses, he shows that thoughtful engagement of the notion of vocational calling by students, faculty, and staff can bring rich rewards for all those involved: greater intellectual development, more robust community involvement, and a more proactive approach to lifelong goals. Nearly every institution he examines—from internationally acclaimed research universities to small liberal arts colleges—is a success story, each designing and implementing its own program, that provides students with deep resources that help them to launch flourishing lives. Flying in the face of the pessimistic forecast of higher education’s emaciated future, Clydesdale offers a profoundly rich alternative, one that can be achieved if we simply muster the courage to talk with students about who they are and what they are meant to do.
