Timaeus

Plato Plato

Maison d'édition: Memorable Classics eBooks

Synopsis

Timaeus by Plato is one of Plato's dialogues, mostly in the form of a long monologue given by the title character Timaeus of Locri, written c. 360 BC. The work puts forward speculation on the nature of the physical world and human beings and is followed by the dialogue Critias.

Participants in the dialogue include Socrates, Timaeus, Hermocrates, and Critias. Some scholars believe that it is not the Critias of the Thirty Tyrants who appears in this dialogue, but his grandfather, who is also named Critias.

It has been suggested from some traditions (Diogenes Laertius (VIII 85) from Hermippus of Smyrna (3rd century BC) and Timon of Phlius (c. 320 – c. 235 BC)) that Timaeus was influenced by a book about Pythagoras, written by Philolaus, although this assertion is generally considered false.

The dialogue takes place the day after Socrates described his ideal state. In Plato's works, such a discussion occurs in the Republic. Socrates feels that his description of the ideal state wasn't sufficient for the purposes of entertainment and that "I would be glad to hear some account of it engaging in transactions with other states" (19b).

Leadership from Bad to Worse -...

Barbara Kellerman

Leadership from Bad to Worse is about how leadership that is bad, invariably, inexorably, gets worse—unless it is somehow, by someone or something, stopped or slowed. 
 
 
 
This work draws on four cases of bad leadership—two in political leadership, two in business leadership—to show how it goes from bad to worse. Kellerman finds that bad leadership and bad followership go through four phases of development: 1) Onward and Upward; 2) Followers Join In; 3) Leaders Start In; and 4) Bad to Worse. These findings correctly suggest that the book, in addition to being of theoretical interest, is of practical import. It is intended, deliberately, to serve as an early warning system. By breaking bad leadership and followership into phases—each more ominous and ultimately dangerous than the one preceding—their progression will be easier to predict and detect. And easier, therefore, to slow or, preferably, to stop before they turn toxic. 
 
 
 
Bad leadership is a social disease. But unlike diseases that are physical or psychological, it remains at the margins of our collective concerns. Leadership from Bad to Worse is, then, a corrective. Knowing that bad leadership can be checked before it corrupts is knowing that bad and then worse can be, if not completely precluded, then sometimes short-circuited.

Patriarchy Inc - What We Get...

Cordelia Fine

Work remains much as it always has: men occupy the vast majority of leadership roles and are overrepresented in positions from engineer to plumber. We see many jobs as "male" or "female," with women dominating in healthcare and childcare professions. Pretending that this is the natural state of things―or that, instead, both sexes should submit to working 24/7—is just not right. 
 
 
 
In Patriarchy Inc., Cordelia Fine examines with razor-sharp and quick-witted analysis why gender inequality is embedded in the workplace and why it has to change. Drawing on theories from evolutionary science, psychology, economics, and sociology, she examines two of the most prominent movements in the corporate world. The Different But Equal viewpoint espouses that women are in the jobs they want despite their lower status and salaries. In the meantime, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) has become a slogan that emphasizes productivity and profit, not fair play. Fine shows how both are wrong and the bad effects on everyone when men are still stuck in traditional breadwinner roles and women are having to fight for their due. 
 
 
 
Offering perceptive and much-needed insight into the current state of work, Patriarchy Inc. explores how we can get closer to achieving equality, even if it means upturning business as usual.

The Forbidden Knowledge of the...

Harold Roth

Forbidden knowledge is at the core of the Book of Enoch. Its text has captured interest from 300 BCE up to the present day. Ancient people have all consulted the Book of Enoch for their magical and mystical practices. Sometimes part of religious canon and doctrine, and sometimes outright banned, the Book of Enoch has persisted for well over 2,000 years. Roth interprets the content of the Book of Enoch and addresses how that knowledge has been used in the past and can be useful in the present. The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch shows that the Book of Enoch remains as vital, if not more so, today as it has been for centuries. 
 
 
  
From Renaissance magic to early Christian apocalyptic texts, all the way down to today's conspiracy theories and modern magical angelology, the Book of Enoch has been influential in many spiritual and religious traditions. What has been missing from the various approaches to the Book of Enoch has been any real attempt to find not only what is at the center of these stories but also their connections to magic. The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch finds and elucidates those connections. 
 
 
  
This new work will be useful to magic workers, mystics, those who work with angels, those interested in Jewish magic and mystical practices, and those who are simply curious to peek at apocalyptic visions.
