The Complete Plato

Plato

Editora: Zenith Whispering Pines Publishers

Sinopse

"The Safest General Characterization of the European Philosophical Tradition Is That It Consists of a Series of Footnotes to Plato."

Plato did not just write philosophy; he invented the way the Western world thinks. As the prize pupil of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, Plato captured the birth of logic, ethics, and metaphysics in the form of dramatic, engaging dialogues. This comprehensive collection brings together his entire body of work, offering a timeless map for anyone seeking to understand justice, beauty, and the nature of reality itself.

Inside this monumental collection, you will explore:

The Socratic Method in Action: Experience the "Elenchus"—the art of the cross-examination—as Socrates systematically dismantles the assumptions of his peers to uncover deeper truths.

The Theory of Forms: Delve into the radical idea that the physical world is merely a shadow of a higher, perfect reality, and learn how to train the mind to "see" beyond the surface.

The Blueprint for the Just Society: Explore profound meditations on governance, the education of the "Philosopher King," and the delicate balance between individual freedom and social order.

Ethics and the Human Soul: Engage with timeless inquiries into the nature of virtue, the immortality of the soul, and the pursuit of the "Good Life."

Plato's writing remains as vital today as it was in the Academy of Athens. His dialogues are not dry lectures, but living debates that challenge the reader to participate in the search for wisdom. This volume is the essential cornerstone for any library of humanities, political science, and classical studies.

Begin your journey toward the light. Buy "The Complete Plato" today and master the art of thinking.

Babble On - A Drug Memoir

Andrew Brobyn

A mid-level drug trafficker and self-proclaimed low-life with a big vocabulary comes to terms with his actions and his mental health. 
 
 
 
Andrew Brobyn's relationship was in shambles before he took the terrible acid that sent him on an almost decade-long journey seeking redemption. His immediate plans following university were to liquidate his illicit assets, sell his client list, pack up shop, and retire to his parents' home in Toronto, while he figured out what to do with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and a quarter million in cash. As his drug use and bipolar disorder spiral, his situation gets stranger and stranger, taking him from his university campus to strip clubs, psych wards, and the slammer. 
 
 
 
Equal parts hilarious and terrifying, Babble On is a psycho-philosophical memoir that tracks Brobyn as he navigates the consequences of his eccentric choices and struggles with profound ambivalence toward his own health and well-being.

The Human Condition - Exploring...

John Harpoon

This book contains the following four titles:
- The Cereal Killer: The invention of breakfast cereal marked a turning point in modern eating habits, blending health-conscious innovation with industrial progress. During the late 19th century, many Americans consumed heavy, meat-based breakfasts, which were criticized by health reformers for contributing to widespread digestive issues and lethargy. It was against this backdrop that breakfast cereal was born—a light, convenient, and nutritious alternative that would revolutionize morning meals.
- The Millennial Methuselah: The story of the woman destined for a millennium begins in an unassuming town, far removed from the glare of the modern world. Born in an era where tradition met the dawn of technological innovation, her arrival into the world was marked by a profound sense of wonder. Family and friends often recalled the unusual calmness that surrounded her birth, as if the universe had whispered its secrets into her soul.
- Perplexing Passings: Unsolved mysteries hold a unique and enduring fascination, inviting us into a world where questions linger and definitive answers seem perpetually out of reach. These enigmas, spanning unexplained deaths, puzzling disappearances, and baffling phenomena, captivate our imagination by defying the order and logic we strive to impose on life. Each unresolved case becomes more than a story; it transforms into a puzzle that teases the intellect and stirs the emotions.
- The Unreachable Riches: Throughout history, the allure of hidden treasure has captured the human imagination like few other pursuits. Tales of vast riches buried beneath shifting sands, concealed within uncharted jungles, or locked away in remote mountain fortresses have been passed down through generations.

Digital Stockholm Syndrome in...

Mark Jarzombek

Once, humans were what they believed. Now, the modern person is determined by data exhaust—an invisible anthropocentric ether of ones and zeros that is a product of our digitally monitored age. Author Mark Jarzombek argues that the world has become redesigned to fuse the algorithmic with the ontological, and the discussion of ontology must be updated to rethink the question of Being. In Digital Stockholm Syndrome in the Post-Ontological Age, Jarzombek provocatively studies the new interrelationship between human and algorithm. 
Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.
