Theaetetus

Plato

Sinopse

Plato's "Theaetetus" is a profound dialogue that delves into the nature of knowledge, probing the question, "What is knowledge?" Through an engaging conversation between Socrates and the young mathematician Theaetetus, Plato presents a captivating exploration of epistemology, offering three notable definitions of knowledge: perception, true belief, and justified true belief. The narrative is marked by its Socratic method, characterized by dialectical reasoning and critical interrogation, which invites readers into the philosophical inquiry that remains relevant in contemporary discussions of knowledge and belief. Plato, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, deeply influenced by Socratic dialogues and the intellectual currents of Ancient Greece, penned "Theaetetus" during a period of rich philosophical discourse in Athens. His background as a student of Socrates and his engagement with mathematics and metaphysics shaped his exploration of knowledge, revealing the tensions between perception and reality. Plato's philosophical ambitions aimed not only to define knowledge but also to encourage readers to critically examine their own epistemic foundations. "Theaetetus" is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the philosophical pursuits of understanding knowledge in its multifaceted dimensions. Scholars, students, and casual readers alike will find value in Plato's rigorous examination of epistemology, which resonates across millennia, bridging ancient philosophy with modern thought. This dialogue is not merely a historical artifact; it is a vital text that continues to challenge and inspire philosophical inquiry.

The Picts - A History

Tim Clarkson

A British historian explores the mysterious Scottish culture of the Iron Age and Early Middle Ages whose enigmatic symbols adorn standing stones. 
 
 
 
The Picts were an ancient nation who ruled most of northern and eastern Scotland during the Dark Ages. Despite their historical importance, they remain shrouded in myth and misconception. Absorbed by the kingdom of the Scots in the ninth century, they lost their unique identity, their language, and their vibrant artistic culture. Among their few surviving traces are standing stones decorated with incredible skill and covered with enigmatic symbols. 
 
 
 
The Pictish Stones offer some of the few remaining clues to the powerful and gifted people who bequeathed no chronicles to tell the sagas of their kings and heroes. In this book, Medieval historian Tim Clarkson pieces together the evidence to tell the story of this mysterious people from their emergence in Roman times to their eventual disappearance.

Rest Is Resistance - A Manifesto

Tricia Hersey

Disrupt and push back against capitalism and white supremacy by connecting to the liberating power of rest, daydreaming, and naps as a foundation for healing and justice. Tricia Hersey, aka The Nap Bishop, encourages us to elevate rest as a form of resistance and a divine human right.What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine‑level pace –– feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its own relentless benefit.In Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey, aka the Nap Bishop, casts an illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and how to imagine and dream our way to a future where rest is exalted. Our worth does not reside in how much we produce, especially not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity. We are enough. The systems cannot have us.Rest Is Resistance is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism. With captivating storytelling and practical advice, all delivered in Hersey’s lyrical voice and informed by her deep experience in theology, activism, and performance art, Rest Is Resistance is a call to action, a battle cry, a field guide, and a manifesto for all of us who are sleep deprived, searching for justice, and longing to be liberated from the oppressive grip of Grind Culture.
