The Subject of the Other

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In this groundbreaking exploration of Lacanian psychoanalysis, we embark on a journey into the depths of the human psyche, unveiling the intricate workings of the unconscious, desire, and the subject. Through Lacanian's revolutionary lens, we discover a world where language is the key to understanding the complexities of the human condition.

Lacan's theories challenge traditional notions of the self, revealing it as a fluid and fragmented entity, constantly shaped and reshaped by our interactions with others. The gaze of the Other, a powerful force that emerges from the mirror stage, becomes the foundation of our sense of self and our place in the world.

The Oedipus complex, a pivotal moment in human development, is explored as a universal experience that profoundly influences our personality and relationships. Lacan's insights into the dynamics of desire and the unconscious shed new light on the complexities of love, loss, and the search for meaning.

Lacan's work extends beyond the realm of psychoanalysis, offering profound insights into a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, literature, and cultural studies. His ideas have been used to illuminate social and political phenomena, such as racism, sexism, and nationalism, revealing the underlying structures that shape our societies.

This book is an invitation to embark on a transformative intellectual journey, guided by Lacan's revolutionary theories. It is a journey that will challenge our assumptions about the self, the unconscious, and the nature of reality itself. Through Lacan's framework, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

Claudius - The Successful Roman...

Kelly Mass

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Emperor Claudius, ruled the Roman Empire from 41 to 54 AD. Born in Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon, France), in 10 BC, Claudius was the son of Drusus and Antonia Minor, both prominent figures in the Roman elite. His birthplace marked a significant departure from previous emperors, as he was the first Roman Emperor born outside Italy. Though Claudius’ family was rooted in the ancient Sabine people, his upbringing would not follow the traditional path of an elite Roman, largely due to his physical infirmities. He suffered from a limp and mild deafness, conditions that led his family to deem him unfit for public life and dismiss him from military and political endeavors.
Growing up in the shadows of more capable and ambitious relatives, Claudius was largely ignored by the Roman aristocracy. His health issues, though perhaps a result of childhood illness, kept him out of sight and out of mind during the brutal purges of Tiberius and Caligula. This absence from political life proved advantageous, as it spared him the many assassination attempts that claimed the lives of his more prominent family members. In a twist of fate, following the assassination of Caligula in 41 AD, the Praetorian Guard, upon finding him hiding in fear, declared Claudius the new emperor. As the only remaining adult male in his family, Claudius ascended to the throne, despite his perceived weakness.
Despite initial doubts about his ability to rule, Claudius quickly proved to be a capable and intelligent administrator. He worked tirelessly to stabilize the Roman Empire, which had suffered under the excesses of Caligula’s reign. One of his first actions was to restore the empire’s finances, expanding the imperial bureaucracy to include freedmen, and re-establishing order in the imperial administration.

The Hidden Legacy of World War II

Carol Schultz Vento

Carol Schultz Vento recounts the post-World War II years of her famous father "Dutch" Schultz.
"Carol Schultz Vento's testimonial and others like it do not diminish the wartime generation's accomplishments but suggest that the price they paid was far higher, the toll extracted from them and their families far greater, and their struggles far more protracted than the glossy tributes to the 'Greatest Generation' would have us believe. It in is the end a cautionary tale, reminding us that if as a last resort we send soldiers into harm's way, we should be under no illusions about war's colossal human costs, remembering that even in the most brilliant triumphs there is heartbreak and that the suffering does not stop when the shooting does." --- Thomas Childers
Daughters, fathers and war - three words seldom used together.
In "The Hidden Legacy of World War II: A Daughter's Journey", Carol Schultz Vento weaves life with her paratrooper father into the larger narrative of World War II and the homecoming of the Greatest Generation. The book describes the seldom told story of how the war trauma of World War II impacted one family. This personal story is combined with the author's thorough research and investigation of the reality for those World War II veterans who could not forget the horrors of war. This nonfiction work fills in the missing pieces of the commonly accepted societal view of World War II veterans as stoic and unwavering, a true but incomplete portrait of that generation of warrior. About the author: Carol Schultz Vento is a former Political Science professor and attorney. She is a graduate of Temple University and Rutgers University School of Law. She is the daughter of 82nd Airborne World War II veteran Arthur "Dutch" Schultz. Carol is a native of Philadelphia and lives in Palmyra, New Jersey.

Sincerity - Communicating with...

Esther Jameson

Sincerity is the foundation of meaningful communication. It fosters trust, deepens relationships, and allows individuals to express themselves without fear of pretense or deception. In a world where surface-level interactions are common, sincere communication stands out as a rare and valuable trait. People instinctively recognize authenticity, gravitating toward those who speak with honesty and conviction. When words and intentions align, communication becomes more impactful, creating connections that are both genuine and lasting.
Authenticity in speech and action is not just about being truthful; it is about being fully present and engaged in the conversation. It requires self-awareness, a clear understanding of personal values, and the courage to express oneself without the need for embellishment. Those who communicate sincerely are not driven by the desire to impress or manipulate. Instead, they prioritize clarity and honesty, ensuring their words accurately reflect their thoughts and emotions. This transparency fosters deeper connections, as others feel heard, respected, and valued in return.
Sincerity also plays a crucial role in credibility. Whether in personal relationships or professional settings, trust is built on consistent and honest communication. People who habitually exaggerate or hide their true feelings often struggle to gain the confidence of others. On the other hand, individuals who speak with integrity create an environment where open dialogue is encouraged, reducing misunderstandings and fostering mutual respect. When sincerity is at the core of interactions, people feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or manipulation.
