Euthyphro - Enriched edition

Plato

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

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.

Unlearning Languages That...

Vladan Sutanovac

The edited collection Unlearning Languages That Control the Mind (ULCM) is to be listened to as a continuous multi–voiced work on what takes place when we forget that unlearning is a part of our existence as much as learning. As the world as we know it finds itself at a critical juncture yet again, how we talk about the continuously amassing genocidal invasions and authoritarian occupations of our minds, thoughts, bodies and environments will affect how we experience, process and counter them on a day–to–day basis. Based on this, ULCM offers its listeners a singular interdisciplinary blueprint of the inner and outer workings of motivated language use when in service of mind engineering and engineered acting. As such, it is a valuable enabling resource for anyone looking to identify and unlearn the languages that mask belief traps and cognitive distortions set up by various antisocial actors to keep our day–to–day cognition and acting confined to society as engineered laboratory. With its interdisciplinary breadth and engaging multimodal content, this handbook breaks new grounds in actionable application of science as an accessible community–enabling tool for seeing through, i.e. dismantling belief traps and mental distortions that turn language use into mindbody abuse.

Beyond Her Yes - Reimagining...

Marisol Maldonado Rodriguez

Much pro-life ministry is focused on encouraging women to say yes to life rather than terminate their pregnancies. But what happens after that decision has been made? Who will provide that mother, who likely considered abortion because she could not see how she could afford to have a child, with the long-term emotional support, education, and guidance that will help her out of poverty? 
 
 
 
Economics and abortion are intrinsically linked, and if pro-life ministry is to make a real difference in the lives of women and families, it must expand its perspective beyond that initial yes in order to address the underlying problem of generational poverty. In Beyond Her Yes, cofounder of RENEW Life Center Marisol Maldonado Rodriguez helps you understand the full impact that poverty has on women making life decisions and then shows how a comprehensive approach to pro-life ministries can make a far greater impact. 
 
 
 
Saving the lives of the not-yet-born is just the first step. Discover how you can be part of saving entire families from a life of hardship and hard choices.
