Sinopse

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.

  • Deliberately Divided - Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart - cover

    Deliberately Divided - Inside...

    In the early 1960s, the head of a prominent New York City Child Development Center and a psychiatrist from Columbia University launched a study designed to track the development of twins and triplets given up for adoption and raised by different families. The controversial and disturbing catch? None of the adoptive parents had been told that they were raising a twin—the study's investigators insisted that the separation be kept secret. Here, Nancy Segal reveals the inside stories of the agency that separated the twins, and the collaborating psychiatrists who, along with their cadre of colleagues, observed the twins until they turned twelve. 
     
     
     
    Interviews with colleagues, friends, and family members of the agency's psychiatric consultant and the study's principal investigator, as well as a former agency administrator, research assistants, journalists, ethicists, attorneys, and—most importantly—the twins and their families who were unwitting participants in this controversial study, are riveting. Through records, letters, and other documents, Segal further discloses the investigators' attempts to engage other agencies in separating twins, their efforts to avoid media exposure, their worries over informed consent issues in the 1970s, and the steps taken toward avoiding lawsuits while hoping to enjoy the fruits of publication.

    The play is Inspired by the book, based on the 1916 rising with the heroes Michael Mallin and Countess Markievicz in their last hours. This play is about the Easter Rising, a seminal moment in history as Ireland begins its journey to statehood. Two of the figureheads of the Easter Rising, Michael Mallin and Countess Markievicz spend their last days together as the Citizen Army hold out in the College of Surgeons of Ireland building on the Stephens Green, Dublin. Michael Mallin the trade unionist and Countess Markievicz the aristocrat turned socialist. The people are real and of great historical importance. The events are real. The dialogue is fictitious and is the author’s attempt to simulate the issues at that time
