Sinopsis

In "Laches," Plato presents a profound exploration of virtue and courage through a dialectical dialogue set in the context of Athenian society. The text is characterized by its Socratic method, as dialogues unfold between Socrates, Laches, and Nicias, probing the nature of bravery and its implications for the lives of citizens and soldiers. Through rich philosophical discourse, Plato navigates the complexities of moral absolutism versus relativism, reflecting the intellectual currents of the Classical period, and inviting the reader to consider how philosophical inquiry can illuminate ethical living. Plato, an esteemed philosopher and student of Socrates, composed "Laches" as a means of grappling with the Socratic tradition which emphasizes the importance of defining virtues through rational examination. Having lived through tumultuous periods in Greek history, including the Peloponnesian War, Plato's reflections on virtue and human behavior resonate with his commitment to uncovering the foundations of ethical living and the responsibilities of citizenship. This compelling dialogue is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or Athenian political thought. "Laches" challenges readers to engage deeply with concepts of virtue and courage, fostering a critical examination of their own beliefs and the ethical dimensions of their lives.

    A fascinating examination of the rapid concentration of global capital, with chapters that focus on China and Russia. 
 
 
 
In Titans of Capital, Peter Phillips, a political sociologist, poses three key research questions: To what extent do the wealthy influence—or even dominate—decision making that affects all of us in society? Who are the most powerful people? And how does the accumulation of capital work? 
 
 
 
Networks of wealthy individuals have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Titans of Capital shows how the financial investments of transnational elites threaten human rights and the future of the planet. Phillips warns that while continued concentration of global capital increases the profits enjoyed by the global economy's "Titans,", it also increases global inequality, starvation, and civil unrest, threatening the lives of the hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty. It is imperative to ask how we can reverse the concentration of Titan wealth and revitalize grassroots democracy unbridled by extreme wealth. Identifying 117 global Titans by name and exposing the networks and interests that unite them provides listeners opposed to militarism and committed to economic equality with crucial tools to directly engage the power elite who endanger life on earth.
