Summary

Explore the definition of the true political expert in this complex dialectical exercise that seeks to distinguish the statesman from the sophist and the tyrant. Using the method of division, the dialogue investigates the knowledge required to rule and the relationship between the law and the flexibility of the wise ruler. It utilizes the myth of the reversed cosmos to illustrate the divine guidance necessary for human affairs, blending political theory with cosmology. This work offers a sophisticated analysis of governance that moves beyond ideal constitutions to the practicalities of leadership.

    The New Middle East - What...

    In the second edition of The New Middle East, renowned scholar James L. Gelvin explains how in the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR, the American invasion of Iraq, and the Arab uprisings of 2010-11, a new Middle East has emerged. Syria, Libya, and Yemen have become "crisis states," where warlords vie against governments and each other. The economies of Iran, Turkey, and Lebanon, weakened by corruption, sanctions, and neoliberal economic policies, have imploded. Some states have doubled-down on repression, while others intervene in the internal affairs of their neighbors with impunity. 
     
     
     
    This edition explores these hallmarks of the New Middle East, along with the end of American hegemony in the region, the expansion of "conflict zones," the continued centrality of the Saudi-Iranian competition, and the ramifications of the breakdown of the Israel-Palestine peace process. It also highlights the crisis of human security brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, bad governance, stagnant economies, poor healthcare and educational delivery systems, climate change, food and water insecurity, population growth and imbalance, and the unprecedented displacement of populations. Gelvin outlines the social, political, and economic contours of the New Middle East, illuminating the current crisis in the region and exploring how it is likely to evolve in the decades to come.

    Tired of toxic celebrity culture distorting your habits, mental health, and self-esteem? Have you fallen prey to the manipulation of a narcissist or sociopath? Or perhaps you're a creative whose work was exploited by someone more influential. It’s time to expose the gaslighting tactics used by modern day manipulators - including celebrities and corporations - strategies meticulously crafted to capture your attention and line their pockets, all while they knock off creators, sell illusions, and embody hypocrisy. 
    In this compelling and transformative memoir, Alanna Zabel bravely reveals some of the posers, abusers, and knock-offs she has personally experienced while navigating a spiritual life in a superficial world — one where the wealthy and powerful often turn a blind eye to injustice to ensure their own personal interests.

Through her life as a celebrity yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and spiritual realist, Alanna shares empowering lessons to help you navigate through the smoke and mirrors of our media-saturated and excessively filtered world, while confronting manipulation and betrayal in the elite's shark-infested pool - where the waters are far more dangerous than they appear on the surface.
