On Liberty

John Stuart Mill

"On Liberty" is a political philosophy book written by British philosopher John Stuart Mill, first published in 1859. The book is one of the most influential works in the history of liberalism, and argues for the importance of individual liberty and freedom of thought and expression. 
Mill argues that individuals should be free to think, speak, and act as they wish, as long as their actions do not harm others. He believes that free speech and the exchange of ideas are essential for the progress of society, and that government interference in these matters is harmful and unnecessary. 
In "On Liberty", Mill also discusses the limits of individual freedom, arguing that individuals should be prevented from harming others or infringing upon their rights. He also recognizes the importance of social cohesion and collective action in certain situations, but maintains that these should be voluntary and not imposed by the government. 
Overall, "On Liberty" is a powerful defense of individual liberty and a critique of the tendency of governments to interfere in the lives of their citizens. The book continues to be widely read and studied, and remains an important work in the field of political philosophy.

Egyptian Mythology - Legends...

Christiano Farrezi

Egyptian mythology forms the foundation of one of the most influential and enduring civilizations in human history. Rich with symbolism, these myths provided a framework through which the ancient Egyptians understood the universe, nature, and the spiritual world. Unlike other mythologies that may have developed primarily through folklore, Egyptian mythology was closely tied to religious practices and rituals that were integral to the culture. Its stories feature a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with specific roles, attributes, and symbolic meanings, governing aspects of life, death, nature, and the cosmos. These divine beings were more than just mythological figures; they were living forces present in the daily lives of Egyptians, influencing their actions, decisions, and the very fabric of their society.
The mythological narratives of Egypt often revolved around cosmic battles between order and chaos, cycles of death and rebirth, and the journey of the soul. These stories were not only entertainment but also served as explanations for natural phenomena, like the yearly flooding of the Nile, the movement of the stars, or the transitions between day and night. Mythology also justified the divine right of the pharaohs, who were considered to be the living embodiments of gods on Earth, specifically the god Horus. By linking mythology with the ruling class, ancient Egyptians reinforced the authority of their leaders and established a divine connection that was essential to their social and political structure. Through sacred texts, temple inscriptions, and monumental architecture, these myths have been preserved, allowing us to glimpse into a world where gods and mortals coexisted in a harmonious balance.
