The Republic

Plato

Sinossi

"What is justice—and is it better to be just than unjust?"

This is the question that launches one of the most influential intellectual journeys in history. In The Republic, Plato constructs a "city in speech" (Kallipolis) to examine the nature of the perfect society and the perfect individual. Through a series of rigorous and challenging dialogues, he explores the radical idea of the Philosopher King, the necessity of communal living for the ruling class, and the profound Allegory of the Cave, which suggests that our perception of the world is but a shadow of a higher reality. Whether you are interested in political science, ethics, or metaphysics, The Republic remains the essential manual for understanding the structure of civilization.

The Three-Part Soul: Plato argues that both the state and the individual soul are divided into three parts: Reason, Spirit, and Appetite. True justice, he claims, is achieved only when these parts exist in perfect harmony, with Reason (the Philosopher) at the helm.

A Vision of the Ideal State: From the censorship of poetry to the "Noble Lie" used to maintain social order, Plato's vision of the Republic is both inspiring and controversial. He provides a blueprint for an educational system designed to identify and cultivate the most virtuous leaders, ensuring the city is governed by wisdom rather than greed.

Why It Is a Global Foundation: Alfred North Whitehead famously noted that all of Western philosophy is but "a series of footnotes to Plato." The Republic is the origin point for nearly every debate regarding democracy, tyranny, and the role of the individual in society. To read it is to engage with the very DNA of Western civilization.

Witch Blood Rising - Awaken Your...

Asa West

“Beautifully written, funny, engaging, informative, helpful. Not only will you learn your magical name and how to work the crossroads, but you’ll also come away with reliable knowledge of witch gods, saints, history, and mythology. This book is a call to action: tend to the embers of witchcraft burning within you. Enchantment is the fire that can and will transform the world.” —Amanda Yates Garcia, author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch and host of the Between the Worlds podcast   Growing up in an endless sea of California suburbs, Asa West spent her childhood chasing visions she didn’t understand. When she found a guide to witchcraft in a tiny bookshop, she knew she’d found her calling. But it’s not easy to awaken your witch blood in a culture that laughs at magic and renders women powerless.   Bringing warmth, humor, and insight to a spiritual path that’s at once immeasurably ancient and continually reborn, Witch Blood Rising explores all the ways that witchcraft bubbles up from the blood of its devotees, from ancient myth to the glittery stories of Hollywood. Asa explores the art of living a witch’s life in all its magical aspects.  Witch Blood Rising is a celebration of witchcraft and how it has stubbornly kept itself alive in Western culture—and a call to action for all seekers who yearn for a witch’s life.

Lancaster - A History

Andrew White

Lancaster, the county town of Lancashire, stands at the lowest bridging point of the River Lune. A chartered borough since 1193 and a city since 1937, it has had a long and turbulent history. Since the Roman army first saw the strategic possibilities of a low hill by the river it has housed garrisons and acted as a fortress. Its position on the main west-coast road to and from Scotland has on numerous occasions led to the passage of hostile armies.
As county town and seat of the Assizes it has seen all the principal criminal cases for Lancashire tried in its magnificent Castle over the last eight centuries. Next to the Castle in a typical juxtaposition of Church and State stands the Priory church with its own history running back some twelve or thirteen centuries.
In this book, based wherever possible on original sources, such as the rich resources of the borough records or the local newspapers, the author takes a thematic approach. In ten chapters he examines themes such as 'House and Home', 'Working for a Living' and 'Where do you come from?', the last of which is a study of all the people who over the centuries have come from other countries to live in Lancaster.

After All: A...

Joel Holland

It's been said that one cannot write well if he does not read well, and Joel Holland reads well. The collection draws inspiration from dozens of poets and hundreds of stories accumulated in thoughts and journals from Holland's first 22 years of living. Ever-present through the collection is Holland's advice, ultimately to himself, to let these stories orient him toward an intentional present. Through the celebration of life and the heartache of its inevitable end, Holland vulnerably lets the reader know of his own deep need for a Savior and how that Savior helps him to see others' stories as real and meaningful. 
In just the first line of the collection, Holland tells of how he collects stories that stir his heart and it is evident throughout that he allows them change his heart through pondering, journaling, and prayer. The title After All may seem arrogant for a 22-year-old's poetry collection, but the collection serves as an earnest attempt to tell others' stories. Through grandparents' wisdom, roommates' heartbreak, and other poets' eye for beauty, Holland writes of wisdom he's still learning to apply through the lense of those about whom he cares most deeply. After All is, ironically, an admission of ignorance and a call to listen and to understand.
