Phaedo - Enriched edition

Plato

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Phaedo," Plato masterfully presents a dialogue that explores the nature of the soul, the immortality of life, and the philosophical implications of death. Set in the final hours of Socrates before his execution, this work combines rich philosophical discourse with poignant narrative. The literary style reflects the Socratic method, engaging readers in rigorous reasoning while presenting allegories and metaphors, such as the famous Allegory of the Cave. The context of the dialogue is deeply rooted in Plato's idealism, presenting a thoughtful examination of ethical living and the pursuit of truth, making it a cornerstone of Western philosophy. Plato, a student of Socrates, was profoundly influenced by his mentor's trial and death, which galvanized his philosophical inquiries into the nature of existence and ethics. Writing in the 4th century BCE, Plato sought to immortalize Socratic thought, encapsulating the dialectic process and emphasizing the importance of knowledge and virtue. His experiences and intellectual environment at the Academy fueled the conversations found in "Phaedo," making it a significant piece that both preserved and transformed philosophical thought. This seminal text is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of existential questions and the philosophical underpinnings of Western thought. "Phaedo" invites readers to reflect upon the nature of life and the psyche, making it an indispensable read for students, educators, and anyone intrigued by the timeless questions of existence.

A Rare Recording of Wernher von...

Wernher Von Braun

Wernher von Braun ( March 23, 1912 – June 16, 1977) was a German aerospace engineer and space architect. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany and a pioneer of space technology and science in the United States. 
After World War II, von Braun was secretly moved to the US, along with roughly 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. 
He served as director of the Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1955, von Braun became a naturalized citizen of the United States. In 1975, von Braun received the National Medal of Science. This recording is from Dr. Von Braun's speech at the 1st Annual SOLE Symposium, September 13, 1966, in Huntsville Alabama.

The American Operations in WW2:...

History U.S. Army Center of...

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 the Ryukyus, Japan from 26 March to 2 July 1945.
In late September 1944 the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in Washington decided to invade Okinawa, the largest island in the Ryukyu Islands, as part of a strategy to defeat Japan. The effort was code-named Operation ICEBERG. Okinawa had initially emerged as an objective in the spring of 1943, when the Allies believed that an invasion of the home islands might be necessary to force Tokyo's surrender. Possession of Okinawa would give the American forces additional, better-positioned air bases for intensifying the air campaign against the home islands and also provide important anchorages and staging areas for the huge, ambitious effort needed to invade Japan.
Beginning in late September 1944 American aircraft and submarines began to tighten a noose around the Ryukyus, making surface shipping extremely hazardous for the Japanese. Heavy bombers of the Fourteenth and Twentieth Air Forces and carrier planes from Admiral William F. Halsey's Third Fleet struck repeatedly at Japanese positions in the Philippines, Taiwan, and the Ryukyu Islands. On 29 September B-29 bombers conducted the initial reconnaissance mission over Okinawa and its outlying islands. On 10 October nearly two hundred of Admiral Halsey's planes struck Naha, Okinawa's capital and principal city, in five separate waves. The city was almost totally devastated. The American war against Japan was coming inexorably closer to the Japanese homeland...

Pitcairn The Rebels of the...

Olivier Goujon

Who are the descendants of Fletcher Christian today? How did the Bounty rebels survive in virtual autarky on their island at the end of the world for ten generations? Why did the British crown finally take its revenge on the mutineers who had defied it since 1790? 
Olivier Goujon tells the epic story of the most astonishing human community, both mythical and terrifying, in the form of an adventure story and a journalistic investigation. The destiny of about fifty men and women who were rejected and disconnected from the rest of the world, from the progress of science and evolution. A damned nation that has lived in extreme difficulty for 230 years, often against morality and human rights.
Caught up by the modern world, secret diplomacy, international trade, and the King's justice, the island is now at a dramatic turning point in its history.
