The Construct of Power

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

Power is a fundamental aspect of human society. It is the ability to influence the behavior of others, to get them to do what you want them to do, even if they don't want to do it. Power can be used for good or for evil, and it can have a profound impact on our lives.

Homer And Classical Philology

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche argues that Homer's poetry represents the pinnacle of ancient Greek culture and embodies the ideal of a harmonious and heroic society. However, he also challenges the traditional views of classical philology that have portrayed Homer as a mere historian or chronicler of events, and instead sees him as a visionary poet who transcends the boundaries of history and time. Overall, Homer and Classical Philology offers a thought-provoking analysis of one of the most influential literary figures in history, and sheds light on the enduring relevance of classical philology in contemporary society. Read in English, unabridged.

Veto Message Regarding the Bank...

Andrew Jackson

In 1832, President Jackson vetoed a bill that aimed to renew a charter for the US Bank. He issued this message to accompany the rejection in which he explained his controversial decision. He believed the bank held too much power, and that “It is easy to conceive that great evils to our country and its institutions might flow from such a concentration of power in the hands of a few men irresponsible to the people.” While some saw this decision a dictator-like act, others saw it as a spark of hope for the poor.

Making Space for Justice -...

Michele Moody-Adams

From nineteenth-century abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today, progressive social movements have been at the forefront of social change. Yet it is seldom recognized that such movements have not only engaged in political action but also posed crucial philosophical questions about the meaning of justice and about how the demands of justice can be met. 
Michele Moody-Adams argues that anyone who is concerned with the theory or the practice of justice—or both—must ask what can be learned from social movements. Drawing on a range of compelling examples, she explores what they have shown about the nature of justice as well as what it takes to create space for justice in the world. Moody-Adams considers progressive social movements as wellsprings of moral inquiry and as agents of social change, drawing out key philosophical and practical principles. Social justice demands humane regard for others, combining compassionate concern and robust respect. Successful movements have drawn on the transformative power of imagination, strengthening the motivation to pursue justice and to create the political institutions and social policies that can sustain it by inspiring political hope. 
Making Space for Justice contends that the insights arising from social movements are critical to bridging the gap between discerning theory and effective practice.

Extracts from a Diary Kept by...

Robert Burrows

An eye-witness account of the so-called Flagstaff War, fought between Maori warriors, led by Hone Heke, and British troops between March 1845 and January 1846 in and around the Bay of Islands. Ostensibly triggered by the cutting down of the flagstaff above Kororareka (now Russell), Heke's attack on the town was a consequence of festering grievances following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi and annexation of New Zealand by the British Crown in 1840. The Reverend Robert Burrows had charge of the mission station and school at Waimate, inland from the Bay of Islands. His day-by-day account paints a vivid picture of the conflict, in which his chosen role was to mediate between the two sides. - Summary by Phil Benson
