Summary

Philosophy is a discipline that seeks to understand the fundamental nature of reality, knowledge, morality, beauty, language, and the human mind. It is a vast and multifaceted field of study that has been practiced by thinkers throughout history, from ancient Greece to the present day.

In this book, we invite you to join us on a journey of philosophical exploration. We will delve into some of the most important and enduring questions that philosophers have grappled with for centuries. We will consider:

* The nature of reality and the existence of God
* The sources and limits of knowledge
* The rightness and wrongness of actions
* The nature of beauty and art
* The structure of language and its relationship to thought
* The nature of consciousness and the mind

We will examine different philosophical schools of thought, from ancient Greek philosophy to modern analytic philosophy. We will encounter some of the most influential philosophers in history, including Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, and Wittgenstein. We will also explore the relationship between philosophy and other disciplines, such as science, religion, and politics.

This book is more than just an academic pursuit. It is an invitation to think critically about the world around you and to develop your own philosophical perspective. It is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your place in the universe, and the meaning of life.

Whether you are a student of philosophy or simply someone who is curious about the big questions of life, this book will provide you with a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field.

    Colonialism: A Global History interprets colonialism as an unequal relationship characterized by displacement and domination and reveals the ways in which this relationship has been constitutive of global modernity. 
 
 
 
The volume focuses on colonialism's dynamism, adaptability, and resilience. It appraises a number of successive global colonial 'waves', each constituting a specific form of colonial domination, each different from the previous ones, each affecting different locales at different times, and each characterized by a particular method of exploiting colonized populations and territories. Outlining a succession of distinct colonizing conjunctures, and the ways in which they 'washed over' what is today understood as the 'Global South', shaping and reshaping institutions and prompting diverse responses from colonized communities, Colonialism: A Global History also outlines the contemporary relevance of this unequal relation. Overall, it provides an original definition of colonialism and tells the global history of this mode of domination’s evolution and reach. 
 
 
 
The broad chronological and geographical scope makes this volume the ideal resource for all students and scholars interested in globalization, colonialism, and empire.

    It is only a very silent mind that can actually see - 30 May 1967 
- Conflict exists only when there are two opposing things: fear and non-fear,violence and non-violence. 
- A mind that is in a state of inquiry is entirely different from a mind that is seeking. Seeking implies effort, conformity, authority and therefore conflict.  
- Without space in which there is no boundary, the mind is incapable of comingupon immeasurable reality. 
- It is only a silent mind that can perceive, actually see, not a chattering mind, acontrolled mind, a mind that is tortured, suppressed, yielding or indulging. 
- When one has totally denied the psychological world which man has created,and the psychological structure of society of which we are, then there is spaceand silence. 
- Q: Could you de ne contemplation and meditation? 
- Q: It is not possible ever to observe totally one's own irrational thoughts.

    The rise of Rome is one of the most remarkable stories in world history, transforming from a small settlement on the banks of the Tiber River into one of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen. The foundation of Rome is traditionally dated to 753 BCE, attributed to the legendary figure Romulus. Over time, Rome evolved through three major phases: the monarchy, the republic, and the empire, each contributing to its dominance. The city's location played a crucial role in its growth, offering natural protection, fertile land, and access to trade routes that facilitated economic and military expansion. 
During the period of the Roman Kingdom, Rome was ruled by a series of kings, who laid the groundwork for its legal and social structures. However, dissatisfaction with monarchical rule led to the establishment of the Roman Republic in 509 BCE. This new form of government introduced a complex system of checks and balances, with power divided among elected officials, including consuls, senators, and popular assemblies. The republic was built on the idea of civic duty and military service, which helped unify its citizens under a shared sense of identity. It was during this time that Rome expanded its influence, conquering neighboring territories through strategic military campaigns. The Roman legions, known for their discipline and tactical superiority, played a key role in these conquests. 
Rome’s transition from a republic to an empire was marked by internal conflicts and power struggles. As Rome’s territories expanded, so did the challenges of governance. The late republic saw growing economic inequality, political corruption, and civil wars between powerful leaders. Figures like Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus sought control, leading to the eventual downfall of the republic. The assassination of Caesar in 44 BCE created further instability, but it ultimately paved the way for the rise of Augustus, who became the first emperor in 27 BCE.

    By the 20th century, warfare was nothing new to the European powers, especially when it came to fighting each other. Conflicts had been a mainstay on the European continent for over two millennia. Even after the Napoleonic wars had enveloped Europe in large scale war for nearly 20 years in the 19th century, the Europeans’ imperialism continued unabated. It would take the devastation of World War I to shock Europe and jolt the world’s superpowers out of their imperialistic tendencies.  
	 The final straw came June 28, 1914, when a Serbian assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Austria-Hungary immediately issued ultimatums to Serbia. When they declared war on Serbia July 28, 1914, Russia mobilized for war as well. The Germans mobilized in response to Russia on July 30, and the French, still smarting from the Franco-Prussian War, mobilized for war against Germany. The British also declared war on Germany on August 4. Thus, in the span of one week, six nations had declared war, half of which had no interest in the Balkans.  
	Needless to say, the First World War came at an unfortunate time for those who would fight in it. After an initial period of relatively rapid maneuver during which the German forces pushing through Belgium and the French and British forces attempting to stymie them made an endless series of abortive flanking movements that extended the lines to the sea, a stalemate naturally tended to develop. The infamous trench lines soon snaked across the French and Belgian countryside, creating an essentially futile static slaughterhouse whose sinister memory remains to this day, but if trench warfare was an inevitability during the war, it is only because the events leading up to the initial battles were quite different.

    12 Rules for Life became a #1 National & International Bestseller for a simple reason… 
(Please Note: This is a SUMMARY of Jordan B Peterson’s, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos) 
Dr. Peterson unearths archetypal principles that shape our lives. He first observes that Order and Chaos are the two primordial forces of the Cosmos. Chaos is the realm of limitless possibilities, unsuitable for life. Order, on the other hand, is the world of rules, predictability, explanations, science, and conformity. 
In the 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Peterson offers a roadmap to navigate these polar forces. The antidote to chaos is not merely order – it comes down to understanding the subtleties of life, realizing that virtue lies in the balance of the two extremes, and developing your own skills at the game. 
Each Rule for Life will challenge you to examine your own approach to life and answer some tough questions about why you're living the way you do. It is only by transcending our own limitations that life becomes meaningful and rewarding. 
Who will benefit from this book? 
Whether you are an over-achiever burning through life, an under-achiever with perpetual overwhelm, or an intellectual seeking deeper truths of human nature, this audiobook is for you. 
The 12 Rules cover a broad spectrum where you will find advice on how to manage your thoughts and emotions, how to thrive, how to get along with others, and how to find a greater sense of meaning in life. 
DISCLAIMER: Testimonies show that our professional summaries introduce more readers to the full book who otherwise would have been overwhelmed by the initial commitment. Readers can use this summary as an introduction or a companion to the original, NOT AS A SUBSTITUTE.
