Sinossi

Plato: The Complete Works is a comprehensive compilation of the dialogues and writings of one of the most significant philosophers in Western thought. Featuring seminal texts such as The Republic, Phaedrus, and Symposium, this collection showcases Plato's exploration of justice, beauty, love, and the nature of reality through a blend of Socratic dialogue and philosophical inquiry. The literary style is marked by its dialectical method, which encourages readers to engage deeply with complex ideas while highlighting the historical context of Ancient Greece during a time of political turmoil and intellectual flourishing. Plato, a student of Socrates and mentor to Aristotle, was profoundly influenced by the Athenian society in which he lived. His experiences, particularly the trial and death of Socrates, shaped his philosophical outlook, leading him to address the moral and ethical implications of governance and education. His works are not merely philosophical treatises but reflections on the human condition, power dynamics, and the role of the philosopher in society. This compilation is an essential resource for anyone keen to delve into the foundations of Western philosophy. Whether you are a student, scholar, or simply an inquisitive reader, Plato: The Complete Works invites you to engage with the profound questions that continue to resonate through centuries, making it a pivotal contribution to both philosophical and literary studies.

Portraits as Animal - Poems

Victoriano Cárdenas

Portraits as Animal is a gallery of self-becoming in a "sunbaked house as tiny as a heart." With a toothy lyricism at turns sly and forthright, Cárdenas's hunger to belong carries us from a stove "bleeding a hundred kinds of caldo" to his "determined mitochondrial ancestors''-a journey framed by generational struggles with addiction, a queerphobic church, and the always-transforming land. 
In conversation with Taos's rich artistic tradition and the brutal, binding legacy of colonization, Cárdenas writes through his transition, acknowledging that "to become a man means a lifetime of needles like the man who raised me." Here is pain and violence, but here, too, is the assurance that we are "built for this metamorphosis" and can follow our past incarnations "over scorched earth neon with new grass" to a future of our own making.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Treason From Within - The...

Donald T. Phillips

The First Comprehensive Treatment of the Kennedy Assassination.  The US government lied to the American people about President Kennedy's death.  But, ironically it was the American people who solved the crime.  Over the past half century, hundreds of researchers investigated one or more parts of the murder, often using their own expertise, such as photography, computers, science, medical expertise, and analytical skills.  Taken together, their detailed work illuminated what really happened.  Author Donald T. Phillips has been following the Kennedy assassination since it happened.  This book begins at the end of World War II and concludes when the Warren Commission was formed.  Revealed along the way is the truth about the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the ambush in Dealey Plaza, and JFK's fraudulent autopsy.  During his two years and eight months in office, President Kennedy prevented the US government from instigating a war that could have involved nuclear weapons in Vietnam, Laos, Berlin, the Soviet Union, and Cuba.  He was leading the nation away from armed conflict, ending the Cold War, and setting the stage for a lasting peace with all nations.  IN doing so, however, JFK was threatening long-established kopek structures within the government.  So on November 22, 1963, in broad daylight, they shot him in the  back and blew his brains out.  It was a pre-meditated, deliberate, willful act of murder with malice aforethought.  And they got away with it.  No one who participated in the crime was ever brought to justice.  Treason From Within answers the questions:  Who killed President Kennedy?  Why was he killed?  How was he killed?
