Synopsis

In "Plato: Complete Works," readers are presented with a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the breadth of Plato's philosophical discourse. This volume includes dialogues such as "The Republic," "Phaedrus," and "Symposium," showcasing his inventive use of Socratic method and dialectical form. The literary style blends dramatic narrative with rigorous philosophical inquiry, offering insights into ethics, politics, education, and metaphysics, all reflective of the tumultuous socio-political landscape of ancient Athens. Plato's works serve not only as foundational texts in Western philosophy but also as profound meditations on the nature of truth and the ideal society. Plato (c. 427-347 BCE) was a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle, shaping the trajectory of Western thought. His unique historical context'—an Athenian citizen during the Peloponnesian War'—shaped his views on democracy and governance. Influenced by Socratic ideals and the quest for absolute truth, Plato endeavored to capture profound philosophical concepts through dialogue, allowing readers to engage critically with the material. "Plato: Complete Works" is essential for anyone wishing to grapple with the foundational ideas that continue to influence contemporary philosophy. This collection invites both scholars and casual readers to delve deep into the mind of one of history's greatest thinkers, fostering an appreciation for the complexities and implications of his work.

    A fresh, concise roadmap for United States grand strategy in a multipolar world For the past thirty years, post–Cold War triumphalism and a desire to reshape the world have defined United States foreign policy. But the failures of the global war on terror, the return of conflict to Europe, and growing tensions with China all suggest that this approach to the world is flawed. For the United States—the country that has ruled the international system largely alone since 1991—this moment is particularly perilous. Can policymakers adapt American foreign policy to better fit the twenty-first century, and in doing so avoid the pitfalls and excesses of the past three decades? In this book, Emma Ashford proposes a return to a more pragmatic, realist set of strategic principles, ones better suited for the emerging multipolar world, that would pursue narrower United States interests, cultivate the capabilities of friendly states, and emphasize room for maneuver over rigid alliances. In this she provides a valuable counterpoint to today's liberal internationalist consensus, as well as a road map for policymakers who seek to change the course of United States foreign policy.

    A young girl is suddenly all alone and on the run from the Nazis in her hometown in Poland. Having survived an aktion that was intended to completely rid Czestochowa of all the Jews, she and her father try to make their way back to their home during the late hours of the night. 
     
     
     
    Confronted by a policeman, Halina Goldberg unexplainably runs away from her father and begins her long journey of survival. When tired of fleeing, she volunteers to go into a work camp. That decision buys her some time because the Germans need labor for the war effort. Halina works in three different camps from the Fall of 1943 to January 1945. At first, the camps are bearable, even though the prisoners are worked hard and fed very little. But as the Germans begin to lose the war, the conditions turn deathly. The Jews become overrun with disease and their captors grow crueler and crueler. 
     
     
     
    As it becomes clear that the war is lost, the SS empty the camps and set over 2,000 women on a four-month long march that would cover over 800 kilometers during one of Europe's coldest winters on record. Halina was one of the only 300 who survived the Volary Death March and finally felt the need to record her hellish story of survival.

    Ever wonder why poverty exists and how we could get rid of it? Here's your answer. 
    Darryl Finkton, Jr. is a hedge fund manager turned community organizer. Raised in poverty, Darryl went on to graduate from Harvard College and the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. In “End Poverty. Make Trillions.” Darryl shares how he rose from rags to riches, and how we can ensure everyone has an opportunity to generate wealth. 
    A Surprisingly Simple Plan for Ending Poverty–and Making Trillions of Dollars for Ourselves While We Do It 
    Poverty costs the United States more than a trillion dollars a year for myriad complex reasons. Ending it would result in joy that is hard to quantify. Yet for all the complexities involved, the “how” of it all–the way to escape national suffering and decline and start off toward a future of organic, resilient national growth–is simple. 
    It’s SO SIMPLE. 
    To have lives of dignity and purpose and contribute meaningfully to our capitalist economy, America’s poor people do not need the rest of us to feed or shelter them. They don’t need us to derail our lives to take care of them or even think about them all that much. 
    They need MONEY.
