Sinopse

In the renowned work 'Symposium', Plato presents a series of philosophical dialogues centered around the theme of love, known as Eros. Set during a banquet, the text unfolds as various prominent figures, including Socrates, engage in a series of speeches that explore different dimensions of love—from the physical to the divine. This dialogue not only reflects Plato's characteristic blend of rhetorical skill and philosophical inquiry but also situates itself within the context of classical Greek thought, encapsulating the tensions and aspirations of Athenian society in the 4th century BC. The literary style is infused with irony and allegory, challenging readers to ponder the complexities of desire and the nature of beauty itself. Plato, a student of Socrates and a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, sought to understand the essence of human existence and the ideal forms of reality. His philosophical inquiries were deeply influenced by his experiences in the tumultuous political landscape of Athens and the Socratic method of questioning that shaped his intellectual pursuits. These influences are evident in 'Symposium', where he crafts a compelling narrative that invites listeners to reconsider the roles of love and intellect within their lives. 'ymposium' is essential for anyone seeking to delve into the philosophical foundations of Western thought. It presents a rich tapestry of ideas that challenge contemporary notions of love and relationships. The text is not only a cornerstone of philosophical literature but also an enduring masterpiece that resonates with the timeless quest for understanding the human condition.

    Civil resistance is a method of conflict through which unarmed civilians use a variety of coordinated methods (strikes, protests, demonstrations, boycotts, and many other tactics) to prosecute a conflict without directly harming or threatening to harm an opponent. Sometimes called nonviolent resistance, unarmed struggle, or nonviolent action, this form of political action is now a mainstay across the globe. It was been a central form of resistance in the 1989 revolutions and in the Arab Spring, and it is now being practiced widely in Trump's America. If we are going to understand the manifold protest movements emerging around the globe, we need a thorough understanding of civil resistance and its many dynamics and manifestations. 
     
     
     
    In Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Erica Chenoweth—one of the world's leading scholars on the topic—explains what civil resistance is, how it works, why it sometimes fails, how violence and repression affect it, and the long-term impacts of such resistance. Featuring both historical cases of civil resistance and more contemporary examples such as the Arab Awakenings and various ongoing movements in the United States, this book provides a comprehensive yet pithy overview of this enormously important subject.

    Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei, known just as Galileo, was an astronomer, physicist, and engineer from Pisa, modern-day Italy, who was regularly described as a polymath. Galileo has been called the "creator of observational astronomy," "father of modern-day physics," "father of the clinical technique," and "father of contemporary science," to name a few titles. 
    Galileo engaged on useful science and innovation, clarifying the characteristics of pendulums and "hydrostatic balances," and also studying speed and speed, gravity and free fall, the concept of relativity, inertia, and projectile movement. He created the thermoscope and some army compasses, and he used the telescope to observe celestial things clinically. Telescopic verification of Venus' stages, observation of Jupiter's 4 biggest satellites, research study of Saturn's rings, and analysis of sunspots are amongst his contributions to observational astronomy. 
    Galileo's big testimony and support of Copernican heliocentrism (the Earth turning daily and circling the sun) drew criticism from the Catholic Church and certain astronomers. In 1615, the Roman Inquisition checked out the subject and realized that heliocentrism was silly, absurd, and profane because it went against the Holy Bible. 
    No doubt Galileo was an intelligent person, who paved the way for many discoveries and inventions. Let’s take a look at his life, his mission, and his accomplishments.
