Summary

The Complete Works of Plato represents a profound synthesis of Western philosophy, encompassing dialogues that explore ethics, politics, metaphysics, and epistemology. Through his distinctive method of dialectical inquiry, Plato employs a range of literary styles'Äîfrom engaging narratives and dialogues to allegorical and philosophical expositions. This compilation includes seminal texts such as "The Republic," in which he articulates his vision of an ideal society governed by philosopher-kings, and "The Symposium," a profound examination of love and beauty. The contextual framework of these works reflects the tumultuous political landscape of ancient Athens and Plato's responses to the Socratic tradition. Plato, a student of Socrates and a teacher to Aristotle, emerges as one of history's foundational philosophers. His life, shaped by the socio-political upheavals of his time'Äîincluding the Peloponnesian War and the downfall of Athenian democracy'Äîdeeply influenced his writings. His creation of the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world, showcases his commitment to philosophical inquiry and education, which are hallmarks in his works. Readers seeking to understand the philosophical underpinnings of Western civilization will find in The Complete Works of Plato an indispensable resource. It offers not only an exploration of essential themes that resonate across centuries but also a blueprint for critical thinking and reflective practice. This collection is essential reading for anyone engaged in the pursuit of wisdom and a deeper understanding of the human condition.

    Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future.

Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will


·       discover how hunting formed us,


·       examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity,


·       understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today's hunter,


·       identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field,


·       learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and


·       gain inspiration to share hunting with others.


Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.
