Plato

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

The Complete Works of Plato is an anthology that brings together the full spectrum of Platonic dialogues, showcasing his profound philosophical inquiries into ethics, epistemology, and politics. The collection features iconic texts such as The Republic, where Plato delineates his vision of an ideal society, and The Symposium, a compelling examination of love. Written in a dialogical style, these works provide a dynamic exploration of ideas through the conversations of Socratic figures, creating a rich tapestry of intellectual engagement that has profoundly influenced Western philosophy. Plato, a student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle, occupies a pivotal position in the history of thought. His experiences during the turbulent political climate of ancient Athens, including the execution of Socrates, shaped his philosophical outlook, leading him to probe the nature of justice and the ideal state. Showcasing his mastery of dialectics, Plato's dialogues are not mere theoretical texts but are imbued with emotional depth and rhetorical flair. Readers interested in the foundations of philosophical thought and the exploration of human knowledge will find The Complete Works of Plato indispensable. This collection not only provides insight into the complexities of existence but also invites readers to engage with timeless questions that remain relevant in contemporary discourse.

The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis...

Karl Marx

"The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" is a book written by Karl Marx, a German philosopher and economist, in 1852. The book analyzes the political situation in France during the mid-19th century and provides a critique of the bourgeois republicanism that had taken hold there. 
The title of the book refers to the date of the coup d'état in which Louis Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, seized power in France. Marx used this event as a lens through which to examine the larger historical forces that had led to the rise of Louis Bonaparte and the decline of the bourgeois republic. 
In the book, Marx argues that the bourgeois republic had failed to address the fundamental economic and social problems facing France, and that this failure had paved the way for the rise of a new form of authoritarian rule. He believed that the only way to truly address these problems was through a proletarian revolution that would overthrow the capitalist system. 
"The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" is considered to be one of Marx's most important works, and it has had a significant impact on the field of political theory. The book's analysis of the relationship between economic and political power has influenced generations of scholars and activists, and it continues to be studied and debated to this day.

Feminist Philosophy - A Very...

Katharine Jenkins

Katharine Jenkins offers an introduction to feminist philosophy, giving the listener an idea of what it is, why it is important, and how to think about it. She explores key topics such as gender oppression, beauty, objectification, and sexuality. Moreover, she considers questions about the relation between the personal and the political, what it is to be a woman, whether there is a distinctive kind of women's knowledge, and what feminist philosophy can bring to our understanding of such aspects of our world as justice, work, and the environment. Feminist Philosophy takes a richly intersectional approach, recognizing the combined impact of such factors as race and class as well as gender.
