Summary

Plato, one of the most influential philosophers of all time, invites you on a journey to explore the world of ideas in this captivating book. Through his writings, Plato challenges us to question the nature of reality, knowledge, truth, ethics, politics, and art.

Plato believed that there is a realm of perfect Forms or Ideas that exist independently of the material world. He argued that the Forms are the true reality and that the material world is a mere shadow or imperfect copy of the Forms. This theory of Forms had a profound impact on Western philosophy and continues to be debated and discussed today.

Another central theme in Plato's philosophy is the immortality of the soul. He believed that the soul is a rational, immaterial substance that is distinct from the body. He argued that the soul survives the death of the body and that it continues to exist in an afterlife. Plato's theory of the immortality of the soul has also had a profound impact on Western thought and continues to be a source of debate and discussion today.

Plato's philosophy is not just a collection of abstract ideas; it is a way of life. He believed that philosophy should be used to improve the human condition and to create a more just and harmonious society. Plato's ideas have inspired countless thinkers and leaders throughout history, and they continue to be relevant and important today.

In this book, we will embark on a journey through Plato's philosophy, exploring his key ideas and their implications for our lives. We will examine his theory of Forms, his concept of the immortality of the soul, his ethical and political thought, and his views on art and beauty.

Whether you are a seasoned philosopher or a newcomer to Plato's thought, this book will provide you with a comprehensive and accessible introduction to one of the most important thinkers in Western history. Join us on this journey of exploration and discovery as we delve into the world of ideas with Plato.

    Ten Years to Save the West -...

    'I want to provide a call to action for fellow conservatives who believe in our nation and our way of life and who share my frustration at what has been going wrong with our politics and governance. I want others to heed the warnings of what I saw happening and learn the lessons of the battle I lost.'
Over the course of a decade as a minister, Liz Truss sought to champion limited government and individual freedom in the face of the left-wing political agenda that frames the debate in so many institutions. Ousted by the establishment but still fighting for conservatism, Truss argues here that the rise of authoritarianism and the adoption of fashionable ideas propagated by the global left give us barely a decade to preserve the economic and cultural freedoms and institutions that the West holds so dear.
Peppered with newsworthy anecdotes from Truss's time in public life – such as her memorable last meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, her confrontations with the regimes in Moscow and Beijing, her encounters with the Trump administration and her dismay at the political class's attempt to betray Brexit – Ten Years to Save the West is an urgent and impassioned call to conservatives about the radical changes that are needed for us to save the West. Ignore her warning at your peril.

    A concise introduction to the history and methods of espionage, illustrated by spy stories from antiquity to today's high-tech world. 
 
 
 
Espionage is one of the most secret of human activities. It is also, as the popularity of spy stories suggests, one of the most intriguing. This book pulls the veil back on the real world of espionage, revealing how spying actually works. In a refreshingly clear, concise manner, Kristie Macrakis guides listeners through the shadowy world of espionage, from the language and practice of spycraft to its role in international politics, its bureaucratic underpinnings, and its transformation in light of modern technology. Espionage is a mirror of society and human foibles with the added cloak of secrecy and deception. Accordingly, Espionage traces spying all the way back to antiquity, while also moving beyond traditional accounts of military and diplomatic intelligence to shine a light on industrial espionage and the new techno-spy. As thorough—and thoroughly enjoyable—as it is compact, the book is an ideal introduction to the history and anatomy of espionage.

    Tyrell and Julia booked to travel on the Titanic with their two sons to introduce them to their American grandfather, but the children were too ill to travel. Julia persisted in going without them. The fatal and tragic decision not only led to the unnecessary loss of her husband, it was to haunt her for the next fifty years. Why was she so determined to go? In a letter written to her sons, as her death approached, she claimed the purpose of the visit was 'to gain her wealthy father's support for his son-in-law's ambition to stand as a Member of Parliament.' Yet Tyrell had shown no enthusiasm for making the journey, as Julia had already made the trip alone, the previous year quite safely. From the Carpathia Julia cabled her father, Henry Siegel, to have clothes from his department stores ready for the Titanic's survivors. In 1992 and 2002 her son and grandson learnt from chance encounters with New Yorkers of Julia's father's shocking fall from grace, the grandfather who owned a famous department store with a 'soda fountain meeting place'. Now can be revealed the true reason for her mission.

    Since the dawn of civilization, humans have woven tales of extraordinary creatures—beasts that soar through the skies, rule the oceans, or guard hidden treasures. These mythical beings have captivated the human imagination, appearing in folklore, literature, and art across the globe. From the mighty dragon to the elusive unicorn, these creatures have not only entertained but also served as symbols of power, wisdom, and even fear. But why do these legends endure? What is it about mythical beasts that continues to fascinate us, even in an age of science and reason?  
Mythical creatures often serve as reflections of human beliefs, fears, and aspirations. In many cultures, they are more than just fictional beings; they carry deep symbolic meaning. The phoenix, for instance, represents rebirth and resilience, while the werewolf embodies the struggle between human nature and primal instincts. Dragons, depicted as both benevolent and malevolent, can symbolize wisdom or destruction, depending on the culture. These beasts act as metaphors, helping people make sense of the world around them and offering explanations for the unknown.  
The origins of these legends are often rooted in real-life encounters or natural phenomena. The discovery of dinosaur fossils may have inspired stories of dragons, while exaggerated accounts of distant animals, such as narwhals, could have fueled belief in unicorns. Similarly, shadows on the ocean’s surface or misidentified sea creatures may have given rise to mermaid myths. Over time, these stories evolved, influenced by oral tradition, artistic depictions, and cultural exchange, shaping the diverse legends we know today.
