Timaeus

Plato Plato

Sinopsis

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).

Boundless Brothers - Two...

Ronald A. Lambrecht, Steven S....

Fans of TOPGUN, The Hunt for Red October and Forrest Gump will love this epic tale of struggle, tenacity and heroism.  
Separated in age by eighteen years, Ron and Steve Lambrecht lived under the same farmhouse roof for only six months—yet both left the Minnesota cornfields of their birth for distinctly different roads of military service and achievement.   
Their joint memoir, Boundless Brothers: Two Warriors from the Heartland, One Mission for the Homeland, offers a fresh spin on a classic American motif of homegrown country boys who navigate the wild blue yonder of sky and sea. From sailing the world on one-hundred-thousand-ton aircraft carriers to flying supersonic combat missions, these two brothers share raucous boyhood gambols, vivid sea stories, and pursuits of identity and inspiration spanning decades of selfless military service.

Why Purpose Is Overrated For You

Lira Donnelly

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Challenge the cultural obsession with finding purpose that creates anxiety, inadequacy, and endless searching for meaning that may not exist in the expected form. This liberating audiobook examines how the purpose imperative became dominant ideology and whether the relentless quest for meaning actually prevents the contentment it promises. Learn why the demand to discover your unique purpose is historically recent, culturally specific, and potentially harmful to people whose lives do not fit heroic narrative templates. The narrator presents philosophical perspectives from traditions that question whether humans require cosmic purpose or whether this need itself creates unnecessary suffering. Discover research suggesting that purpose often emerges from engagement rather than preceding it, and that searching for purpose directly frequently prevents its natural development. Understand how purpose ideology serves economic interests by keeping workers motivated despite conditions that would otherwise prompt rebellion or withdrawal. This audiobook does not argue against meaningful living but challenges specific assumptions about how meaning functions and whether purpose-seeking strategies actually work. Learn alternative frameworks for life satisfaction that do not require discovering singular purposes or fitting experiences into predetermined meaning structures. Perfect for anyone exhausted by purpose pressure, suspicious of self-help formulas, or seeking permission to live without constant reference to abstract life missions.

Between the Listening and the...

Mark Yaconelli, Anne Lamott

Stories tether us to what matters most: our families, our friends, our hearts, our planet, the wondrous mystery of life itself. Yet the stories we've been telling ourselves as a civilization are killing us: Fear is wisdom. Vanity is virtuous. Violence is peace. In Between the Listening and the Telling, author and activist Mark Yaconelli leads listeners into an enchanting meditation on the power of storytelling in our individual and collective lives. We tell stories to remember who we are. We tell stories to savor the pleasure of living. Stories can be medicine, and they can transform entire communities. 
 
 
 
Through his work with The Hearth nonprofit, Yaconelli has spent thousands of hours listening to people as they grieve loss, deepen friendships, strengthen families, shed light on injustice, and recover hope. In this moving exploration he shows us how individuals and communities can recover the practice of storytelling to address the despair of climate change, the trauma of school shootings, the tragedy of undocumented immigration, and the daily struggle for meaning. 
 
 
 
With a foreword by Anne Lamott, Between the Listening and the Telling offers an alloy of story, commentary, and meditation. In an era of runaway loneliness, alienation, global crisis, and despair, sharing stories helps us make a home within ourselves and one another.
