Sinossi

Euthydemus by Plato Euthydemus (Greek: Εὐθύδημος, Euthydemes), written c. 384 BC, is a dialogue by Plato which satirizes what Plato presents as the logical fallacies of the Sophists.[1] In it, Socrates describes to his friend Crito a visit he and various youths paid to two brothers, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, both of whom were prominent Sophists and pankrationists from Chios and Thurii.

The Euthydemus contrasts Socratic argumentation and education with the methods of Sophism, to the detriment of the latter. Throughout the dialogue, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus continually attempt to ensnare Socrates with what are presented as deceptive and meaningless arguments, primarily to demonstrate their professed philosophical superiority.

As in many of the Socratic dialogues, the two Sophists against whom Socrates argues were indeed real people. Euthydemus was somewhat famous at the time the dialogue was written, and is mentioned several times by both Plato and Aristotle. Likewise, Dionysodorus is mentioned by Xenophon.

    Excerpt:
     
    In the Holy Books are many sermons, long and short, full of advice to the average layman. Notable amongst these is the Sigālovāda Suttanta, known as “the Layman’s Vinaya” which details correct behaviour for the good layman. Excellent though all such sermons are, none can surpass the brief simple appeal of the words to Nakula’s parents, which advise the cultivation of four things: Saddhā, Virtue, Generosity and Wisdom.
     
    A striking thing in the Buddha-dhamma is that here we find naught of “Thou shalt” or “Thou shalt not.” When once it is realized that selfishness and self-indulgence cause all our woe, then a wise one strives for self mastery. Sīla is the mastery of speech and action. Of his own free will, the Buddhist “pledges to observe” this precept of virtue, and that. The minimum number of such precepts of virtue that the good Buddhist should observe is five: (1) I undertake to observe the precept to abstain from destroying the life of beings; (2) from taking things not given; (3) from sexual misconduct; (4) from false speech, and (5) from liquor that causes intoxication and heedlessness.
     
    
     
    The Buddhist has no impossible postulates; he tries to see, as his teacher taught, “things as they really are.” He looks at the world around him and sees that all, all is transitory there. He sees that what is transitory is bound to be sad. All that we love is passing away, and such parting from the loved is suffering.  ..."

    The Somali Famine of 2011 stands as one of the most devastating humanitarian crises of the 21st century. It resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people, the majority of whom were children, and displaced millions of others. The famine, which lasted from mid-2010 to early 2012, was driven by a combination of environmental, political, and social factors. This chapter will examine the key aspects of the crisis, providing an understanding of how it emerged and what made it so catastrophic. 
    The roots of the famine can be traced to a severe drought that affected much of the Horn of Africa in 2011. The drought, one of the worst in decades, was exacerbated by irregular rainfall patterns linked to climate change. Somalia, already a country struggling with inadequate infrastructure and poor governance, faced dire consequences as crops failed, livestock perished, and food supplies dwindled to critical levels. The lack of sufficient rainfall and water sources left millions without the means to grow food or sustain their livelihoods. 
    However, the drought alone was not the sole cause of the famine. Somalia had been suffering from ongoing conflict and instability for years. The rise of militant groups, particularly the Al-Shabaab insurgency, contributed to the breakdown of essential services, such as food distribution and medical care. The instability also hindered the ability of international aid organizations to access those in need, which only deepened the crisis. The government’s weak control over large portions of the country and its inability to respond effectively to the disaster further complicated the situation.

    Gordon Menzies was in the room as bankers, economists and Cabinet members deregulated Australia’s economy. And he was personally shaped by a greater, cultural, deregulation — the sexual revolution. Menzies argues that both changes are part of the same hard-line movement: Western Fundamentalism. As our economies and families are in flux, it’s time to question the assumptions that got us here.  
    Are you prepared to challenge your fundamentals?
