Radha Krsna Das

The Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India. He is revered as the founder of Buddhism. He taught for around forty five years and built a large following, both monastic and lay. His teaching is based on his insight into suffering and the end of such – the state called Nirvana.Prince Gautama was born into an aristocratic family but eventually joined the renounced order of life. After several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the workings of the cycle of rebirth and how it can be escaped. The Buddha then traveled widely teaching. He taught the middle way between sensual indulgence and severe asceticism. He taught a training of the mind that included self-restraint, and meditative practices such as mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice.Here is the illumined heart of his divine timeless teachings.

The Timaeus

Plato

Explore the Cosmic Blueprint of Western Philosophy. 
In The Timaeus, Plato offers one of the most influential philosophical visions of the ancient world—a sweeping dialogue that lays out the structure of the cosmos, the nature of the soul, and the divine intelligence behind creation. 
Presented as a conversation between Socrates, Timaeus the Pythagorean philosopher, Critias, and Hermocrates, this work bridges mythology and metaphysics, blending Greek thought with early scientific speculation. Timaeus explains the origins of the universe as the deliberate design of a benevolent "Demiurge" who imposes order on chaos, crafting the world with mathematical harmony and eternal forms as its template. 
This foundational work of natural philosophy includes: 
The geometric and mathematical structure of reality 
The soul of the universe and how it animates all things 
The elements—earth, air, fire, and water—and their divine ratios 
The origins of time, space, and human beings 
Plato’s cosmological theory that would shape science, theology, and esotericism for centuries 
Whether you are a student of philosophy, a seeker of metaphysical truths, or a lover of ancient wisdom, The Timaeus opens a door to understanding the cosmos through the lens of one of history’s greatest minds.

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
'Tired of Winning' by Jonathan Karl examines Donald Trump's resurgence in the Republican Party following his presidency. The book describes Trump's journey from a defeated and disgraced former president to regaining prominence within the party. Karl, with his extensive experience as a reporter and ABC News's chief White House correspondent, offers detailed insights into Trump's post-presidency period at Mar-a-Lago, where he became increasingly extreme and vengeful, causing damage to the GOP's electoral prospects. Despite legal challenges and a divisive presence, Trump re-emerged as a frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. The book poses a critical question to the Republican Party, paralleling Ronald Reagan's 1964 speech, about whether they are ready to continue their path with Trump as their leader. Karl's unique perspective, rooted in his long history of covering Trump, provides a comprehensive view of the former president's quest for retribution and the potential implications for the GOP.

Popular Works Volume 2 - The...

Johann Gottleib Fitche

Though born to a poor but pious family of ribbon weavers in in Saxony in 1762, Johann Gottlieb’s exceptional intelligence was apparent from an early age. Remarkably, from this humble background, he earned himself a respected place in the pantheon of late 18th and early 19th century German philosophers. That fact that he is placed between Kant and Hegel, yet still retains a significant and individual presence, says much about his work and personality. He became known, especially, for initiating the concept of ‘German idealism’ (linked with Romanticism and the revolutionary politics which emerged after the Enlightenment). In the 20th and 21st century, his importance and contribution to Western philosophy has been increasingly acknowledged.

There are two substantial lecture series and one essay stemming from his time in Berlin in Popular Works Volume 2: much of Fichte’s important work appeared initially in lectures.

The Characteristics of the Present Age, (1806) consists of 17 lectures in which Fichte presents his ‘speculative philosophy of history’. The series opens with ‘The Idea of Universal History’ in which he ‘divides earthly life into 5 Principal Epochs.’ Against this overview of history and culture, (including the state, civil and political freedom, science and religion) he develops his thesis with particular reference to his ‘present age’ – the time of Voltaire, Rousseau on the one hand and Lessing, Kant and Goethe on the other.

In The Way Towards The Blessed Life or The Doctrine Of Religion (1806) (11 lectures) Fichte considers the relationship between established religion and his particular view on ‘transcendental’ philosophy. His opening statement is ‘Life is Love; and hence Life and Blessedness are in themselves one and the same.’ He continues by examine metaphysics, ontology, mysticism, actual and apparent life, Christianity, and his Doctrine of Being.

The final work in this anthology is Outlines of the Doctrine of Knowledge (1810). It is a concise exposition of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre’ but in its strictly scientific form. It had an unusual provenance in that it was printed by Fichte at the conclusion of lectures as a form of a memorandum with 14 short sections. It opens with the question: ‘How this Knowledge can come into being, and what it is in its inward and essential Nature?’
