Euthyphro (Annotated) - Enriched Edition A Socratic Dialogue on Piety Justice and the Divine Command Dilemma before the Trial of Socrates

Plato

Casa editrice: e-artnow

Sinossi

Plato's Euthyphro is a compact yet profound Socratic dialogue set in the charged atmosphere before Socrates' trial. At the King Archon's court, Socrates meets Euthyphro, a self-assured religious expert prosecuting his own father for homicide. Through lucid dramatic irony and relentless elenchus, Plato examines the nature of piety, exposing the instability of definitions grounded merely in divine approval, ritual confidence, or social convention. The dialogue belongs to Plato's early, aporetic works, where inquiry ends not in doctrine but in sharpened philosophical perplexity. Plato, an Athenian aristocrat and student of Socrates, wrote in the aftermath of his teacher's execution in 399 BCE, an event that decisively shaped his philosophical project. Euthyphro reflects Plato's concern with the moral failures of democratic Athens, the limits of religious authority, and the distinction between genuine wisdom and presumed expertise. His literary artistry preserves Socrates as both historical figure and philosophical exemplar. This dialogue is essential for readers interested in ethics, theology, law, and the origins of Western philosophy. Brief but inexhaustible, it rewards careful reading and remains a rigorous introduction to philosophical questioning.

Rewiring Anxiety - Outsmart Your...

Lisa Stephenson

What if your brain wasn’t the enemy... but the tool you’ve never learned how to use properly?
You wake up with that familiar tension in your chest. Your thoughts race before your feet even touch the floor. You overthink, avoid, procrastinate, repeat. You’ve tried to “calm down,” but your brain seems wired for panic.
Here’s the truth:
Anxiety doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your brain’s trying to protect you — just in the wrong way. And once you understand how that wiring works, you can start changing it. You can interrupt the panic patterns, replace the fear loops, and actually feel good again.

• Why your anxiety isn’t just “in your head” — and what’s really triggering it

• What your brain needs to feel safe — and why it’s not getting it
• The exact moment negative thoughts take over (and how to stop them mid-loop)

Minding the Wealth Gap - Our...

Cliff Goins IV

The US racial wealth gap is large, and it's compounding. It's time to close it. Minding the Wealth Gap shines a light on people doing this important work and explores how you can get involved too. 
  
Generations of public and private practices have left Black households $15 trillion and 400 years behind white households. Engaging storytelling backed by data, Minding the Wealth Gap highlights the wide-ranging impact of this lack of wealth parity. It explores the intricate connections between issues such as housing disparities, employment opportunities, education, investment barriers, social networks, and over-policing, all of which contribute to the staggering wealth gap between Black and white households. 
  
Investment professional Cliff Goins IV shines a spotlight on nine Black entrepreneurs and executives who are actively working to bridge this chasm: 
  
• Kedra Newsom Reeves is a highly accomplished management consultant by day, serving as a partner at the Boston Consulting Group, where she drives holistic solutions to wealth creation. 
• Mark Wilson became an accidental entrepreneur, then used his platform to empower economic mobility for under-resourced team members. 
• C-suite executive Selena Cuffe is a world traveler and a talented business leader. She is a poster child for the power of cultivating diverse talent. 
• Lee Henderson leveraged his role as partner at Ernst & Young LLP to help launch a network of resources to accelerate the growth of underserved ethnic minority-owned businesses. 
• Shundrawn Thomas champions underdogs and unleashes access to financial and human capital as CEO of The Copia Group, a private investment firm. 
• Tony Wilkins, an advisor for Google for Startups, is an entrepreneur whisperer, imparting wisdom and money that they need to flourish. 
• Corporate lawyer turned entrepreneur George Fatheree III advocates for real estate justice and turbocharges home and land ownership. 
• Small business banker Steve Hall locates the diamonds in the rough, putting capital to work in overlooked communities. 
• Serial entrepreneur and sage Robert Blackwell Jr. is compelling large organizations to "just do business" and free the enterprises. 
  
These "gap closers" have much to teach us, having pioneered initiatives such as empowering economic mobility, advocating for homeownership, and championing economic parity. Minding the Wealth Gap is both a powerful catalyst and a call to arms, urging America's entrepreneurs, executives, government officials, and other leaders to join these efforts and take meaningful steps toward a more equitable future for all.

The American Operations in WW2:...

Clayton D. Laurie

World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in Italy from 22 January to 9 September 1944. 
Rome was quiet on the morning of 4 June 1944. Propaganda leaflets dropped during the early morning hours by order of the commander of the Allied 15th Army Group, General Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander, urged Romans "to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to protect the city from destruction and to defeat our common enemies." Even though the retreating Germans had declared Rome an open city, citizens were urged to do everything possible to protect public services, transportation facilities, and communications. "Citizens of Rome," the leaflets declared, "this is not the time for demonstrations. Obey these directions and go on with your regular work. Rome is yours! Your job is to save the city, ours is to destroy the enemy."

Bath Abbey's Monuments - An...

Oliver Taylor

Bath Abbey contains the largest collection of monuments in any UK church or cathedral. But how did the ruined Abbey of 1539 become a Georgian 'gallery of sculpture', where the latest works of art by famous sculptors could be seen? And why are their appearances today so different from their original designs?
Long before the city's now-celebrated museums and galleries were established, the Abbey's monuments were one of Bath's newsworthy tourist attractions. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished material on the Abbey's history, this book tells the story of its monuments for the first time – how they helped the Abbey rise from the aftermath of the Dissolution to give it a new identity, a unique floor, and walls that tell the social history of Bath.
