Sinossi

In "Euthyphro," Plato presents a profound dialogue that explores the nature of piety and the essence of moral virtue through a conversation between Socrates and Euthyphro. Set against the backdrop of Athenian society, this text employs a Socratic method to scrutinize popular theological beliefs and ethical principles, raising essential questions about the relationship between divine command and moral obligation. The dialogue is characterized by its incisive logic and literary elegance, typical of Plato's style, inviting readers to re-evaluate their understanding of what it means to be virtuous and religiously devout. Plato, a student of Socrates and a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, wrote "Euthyphro" during a period marked by political upheaval and philosophical inquiry within Athens. His exposure to Socratic dialogue and the Socratic method undoubtedly influenced his thought process, as he sought to analyze and contextualize ethical concepts through rigorous debate. The text embodies an early exploration of moral philosophy, reflecting Plato's ongoing quest for truth and understanding amidst the complexities of human behavior and belief. "Euthyphro" is an essential read for anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, or theology. Through its rich examination of piety, it encourages readers to engage in self-reflection and critical thought about their own moral convictions. This dialogue remains relevant today, offering insights into the enduring questions of justice, morality, and the nature of the divine.

    Britain is no longer the great power it once was. Caught between an unmoored America and a fractured Europe, it confronts rising authoritarian challenges from China and Russia, while its domestic debates drift into abstract moralising. Lacking a coherent vision for the future, the country risks sliding further into managed decline, its global relevance steadily eroding.
    Yet such a trajectory is not inevitable. In this clear-eyed assessment of Britain's economic, ideological and strategic vulnerabilities, Azeem Ibrahim identifies the essential building blocks of renewal. He outlines a programme of reforms that will allow a genuinely independent Britain to capitalise on its core strengths. After all, as a lean and specialised nuclear power with one of the world's most sophisticated intelligence networks, as well as world-class universities and a cultural reach second only to the US, the UK can still shape global affairs.
    A Greater Britain argues that a clear strategic anchor and bold leadership are needed if the UK is to convert its advantages into real influence. By formulating a pioneering Knowledge Power Doctrine, the book offers a global strategy for a once powerful nation, providing nothing short of a roadmap back to British greatness.

    The Rashtrakutas were one of the most powerful dynasties in Indian history, ruling vast territories across the Deccan and beyond. Their origins, however, remain a subject of debate among historians due to conflicting inscriptions and interpretations. Some sources trace their roots to the Kannada-speaking regions, while others suggest connections to northern India. Despite the uncertainty, it is widely accepted that the Rashtrakutas emerged as a prominent force in the Deccan by the 8th century. 
    The dynasty first gained prominence under the rule of Dantidurga, who established Rashtrakuta authority by overthrowing the Chalukyas of Badami. However, evidence suggests that the Rashtrakutas had been a significant regional power even before his reign. The earliest references to the name "Rashtrakuta" appear in inscriptions from the 6th and 7th centuries, indicating that they were already influential feudatories before rising to imperial status. Some scholars believe they originally served as administrators or military governors under the Chalukyas before asserting their independence. 
    The question of the dynasty’s ethnic and linguistic identity has long been debated. Some sources claim that they were of Kannada origin, citing inscriptions and literary works composed in the Kannada language under their patronage. Others argue that they may have had northern Indian roots, pointing to their interactions with Rajput and Gurjara clans. Regardless of their precise origins, the Rashtrakutas embraced the cultural diversity of the Deccan, ruling over a population that spoke multiple languages, including Kannada, Sanskrit, and Marathi.

    Carl Gustav Jung (July 26, 1875 - June 6, 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. Jung's work was influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, and religious studies. Working as a research scientist, Jung came to the attention of Sigmund Freud, and the two men conducted a lengthy correspondence for a while. However, while Jung worked on his Psychology of the Unconscious, tensions manifested between him and Freud because of various disagreements, including those concerning the nature of libido. While Jung did think libido was an important source for personal growth, unlike Freud, he did not believe that libido alone was responsible for the formation of the core personality.
