Synopsis

Moral Duties Past explores the role of honor and ethics in shaping societies before modern times, examining whether these societies operated on a higher moral plane than our own. The book delves into historical codes and social structures, from Mesopotamia to medieval Europe, to understand how societies defined and enforced ethical standards. It argues that an emphasis on honor, though flawed, fostered trust and stability, facilitating societal cohesion.

 
The book progresses by first introducing honor as a social and economic force, then analyzing historical codes like the Code of Hammurabi and Roman civil law to identify governing ethical principles. It further examines social structures that enforced these principles, such as guilds, before investigating the decline of honor-based systems. This approach provides a nuanced assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of past ethical norms.

 
Unique in its approach, the book combines historical analysis with philosophical reflection, challenging the modern assumption that ethical behavior is solely a matter of individual conscience or legal compliance. By drawing parallels between historical and contemporary ethical challenges, Moral Duties Past offers insights into promoting ethical behavior in the 21st century, emphasizing the importance of social accountability and collective reputation as complements to individual responsibility and legal frameworks.

    Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form, or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done?. The second part of the book is called "Àpropos of the Wet Snow," and describes certain events that, it seems, are destroying and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as a first person, unreliable narrator.Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist. His literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880).Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest novelists in all of world literature, as multiple of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces.

    A technological, strategic, and tactical history of ancient naval ships from Alexander to the battle of Actium. 
     
     
     
    The period covered in this book is well known for its epic battles and grand campaigns of territorial conquest, but Hellenistic monarchies, Carthaginians, and the rapacious Roman Republic were scarcely less active at sea. Huge resources were poured into maintaining fleets not only as symbols of prestige but as means of projecting real military power across the Mediterranean arena. 
     
     
     
    Taking the period between Alexander the Great's conquests and the Battle of Actium, John Grainger analyzes the developments in naval technology and tactics, the uses and limitations of sea power and the differing strategies of the various powers. He shows, for example, how the Rhodians and the Romans eschewed the ever-larger monster galleys favored by most Hellenistic monarchs in favor of smaller vessels. This is a fascinating study of a neglected aspect of ancient warfare.

    The dissolution of the Order of the Temple and the persecution of the Knights Templar are still fresh in people's minds. Why did King Philip the Fair and Pope Clement V set out to destroy them? What secrets did the Knights Templar hold? Just as the Da Vinci Code revealed the existence of the Order of the Priory of Sion and left its mark on the world, Jean-Patrick Pourtal takes you on an investigative journey from the 14th century to the present day. The author develops his hypotheses on the historical implications of the Knights Templar, mixing royal dynasty and hidden messages. He returns to mythical sites such as Arginy, Gisors and Rennes-Le-Château, and meets the characters who were instrumental in bringing about the so-called Templar resurgence.
