Sinopse

In 'Laws,' Plato embarks on a profound exploration of political philosophy and ethics, delving into the very foundations of lawful governance and social order. Written in a dialogue format characteristic of Plato's style, this late dialogue shifts from the idealism outlined in 'The Republic' to pragmatic considerations of how laws can be effectively implemented in a real society. The work juxtaposes various forms of governance, addresses the moral responsibilities of citizens and legislators, and articulates a vision for a just city-state that emphasizes the importance of education and communal well-being.

    Ancient Egypt’s Greatest...

    Given the abundance of funerary artifacts that have been found within the sands of Egypt, it sometimes seems as though the ancient Egyptians were more concerned with the matters of the afterlife than they were with matters of the life they experienced from day to day. This is underscored most prominently by the pyramids, which have captured the world’s imagination for centuries. The pyramids of Egypt are such recognizable symbols of antiquity that for millennia, people have made assumptions about what they are and why they exist, without full consideration of the various meanings these ancient symbolic structures have had over the centuries. Generations have viewed them as symbols of a lost past, which in turn is often portrayed as a world full of romance and mystery. This verbal meaning has become associated with the structures through the tourism industry, where intrigue obviously boosts ticket sales. In fact, the Egyptian pyramids are so old that they were also drawing tourists even in ancient times. In antiquity, the Great Pyramid of Giza was listed as one of Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, and it is the only one still surviving today.  
    	The age and structural integrity of the pyramids also make them symbols of longevity and power, which is only fitting because those are two purposes the ancient pharaohs who commissioned these works intended them to serve. For the pharaohs, the construction of these large monuments presented an opportunity for them to showcase their influence and become something to be remembered by, both in the society they ruled and in the annals of history that would follow. Even as new dynasties came and went, and even as Egypt was subjected to foreign domination and rulers from across the world, the pyramids have continued to stand as a prominent testament to ancient Egypt’s glorious past.

    Shadow War Between the States...

    In September 1862, the Union had no intelligence service worthy of the name. It had detectives, scouts, scattered networks of informants, balloons, signal flags, and a great deal of luck, but the federal government did not have a coordinated system, to the extent that military commanders did not know enemy troop strength. By the end of the war, the Union would be running the most sophisticated intelligence operations in American history to that point. The government eventually forged an integrated, all-source, professional service that fed the commanding generals daily reports on enemy strength, disposition, morale, and intent. The Union also successfully maintained a network of spies inside the Confederate capital that intercepted enemy signal traffic; read Southern newspapers, and used escaped slaves as sources of intelligence. 
    It was not until 1988, when two career intelligence officers named William A. Tidwell and David Winfred Gaddy and a Lincoln assassination scholar named James O. Hall published Come Retribution: The Confederate Secret Service and the Assassination of Lincoln, that the full scope of Confederate covert operations began to come into focus. The picture that emerged from surviving documents, financial records, pension files, and the kind of careful inference that professional intelligence analysts bring to fragmentary evidence, was startling in its ambition and in its implications. The Confederate Secret Service, it turned out, had been playing a longer and more sophisticated game than anyone had previously understood. In fact, Confederate intelligence operations had begun during the first weeks of the war, and in the autumn of 1864, they were on the verge of planning an operation that, had it succeeded, might have changed the outcome of the conflict entirely.

Alfred Prufrock” and “The Waste Land.” Thomas Stearns Eliot (September 26, 1888 - January 4, 1965) was a US-born British poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary critic and editor. Considered one of the 20th century's major literary figures, he is a central figure in English-language Modernist poetry. Through his trials in language, writing style, and verse structure, he reinvigorated English poetry and, in 1948, was honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature.
