Sinossi

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.

    This is the story of one of the great events in the history of medicine. In 1847, challenging the firmly held convictions of the medical profession of the time, James Young Simpson demonstrated for the first time that a woman could be safely relieved of the pains of difficult and traumatic labour by the administration of a general anaesthetic. He later added to his fame when he introduced a new and better anaesthetic, chloroform, which soon became the most popular general anaesthetic for use in general surgery as well as midwifery. Its use was endorsed by Queen Victoria when she asked for it to be administered during the birth of Prince Leopold in 1853.
    The book also gives a history of a time of rapid change in Scottish society that allowed the seventh son of a village baker in a rural apart of Scotland to go to university and then become a successful physician, a medical professor at one of the leading university medical schools in the world and Physician to the Queen, all before he had reached the age of forty.

    In the summer of 2022, Lee Berger lost 50 pounds in order to wriggle though impossibly small openings in the Rising Star cave complex in South Africa—spaces where his team has been unearthing the remains of Homo naledi, a proto-human likely to have coexisted with Homo sapiens some 250,000 years ago. The lead researcher on the site, still Berger had never made his way into the dark, cramped, dangerous underground spaces where many of the naledi fossils had been found. Now he was ready to do so. Once inside the cave, Berger made shocking new discoveries that expand our understanding of this early hominid—discoveries that stand to alter our fundamental understanding of what makes us human. So what does it all mean? Join Berger on the adventure of a lifetime as he explores the Rising Star cave system and begins the complicated process of explaining these extraordinary finds—finds that force a rethinking of human evolution, and discoveries that Berger calls "the Rosetta stone of the human mind."

    Often referred to as the quiet Beatle, George Harrison’s demure and slightly moody visage can be seen peeking out at us from countless Beatles and solo albums. It seemed that George was such a powerful presence, he really didn’t even need to speak. This was the man who bid us to listen while his guitar gently wept.
     
    Harrison—whether in music or in life—was a deep diving, virtuoso supreme, but beyond his sheer musical genius, there is much more to his story than might first meet the eye. Here, in this book, we probe the depths to reveal George Harrison’s life and legend in full.

    Although the Inca’s oral traditions suggested that the history of the region began with their empire, the various gods and the religious ceremonies of the peoples that inhabited the Inca’s lands before their arrival were assimilated into the Inca Empire and were incorporated into Inca religion. However, under Inca rule, all those gods were to be subordinate to those gods of the Incas themselves, so as to ensure that imperial authority was clear and without dispute among all quarters of the empire.  
    	Viracocha was the primary god in the Inca pantheon as the origin and creator of all things. His son, the god Inti, or the Sun, was married to Mama Quilla, the Moon, who was also created by Viracocha. According to one myth, Inti was the father of Manco Cápac, the founder of the Inca ruling dynasty, but it was believed by some that Viracocha himself fathered Manco Cápac. In practice, the Inca centered their religious worship on Inti, and this god's High Priest was the second most important person in Inca society. The god Inti was honored at an annual celebration held each June, and the Inti Raymi festival included sacrifices, feasts and sexual abstinence. This cosmology was imposed throughout the empire, and temples to the Sun were constructed and staffed by religious officials who were allotted farmland called “lands of the Sun.” Other local cults were provided with produce from these lands as well.  
    	The main temple of Inca religion was the Coricancha or Sun Temple in Cuzco, in which was kept the great golden disk of the Sun. The disk was appropriated by the Spanish in 1571 and sent off to the Pope. While it has disappeared, perhaps lost somewhere during the tortuous route to Spain, it remains alive in the fabulous world of adventure story writers, New Age mystics and manufacturers of souvenirs. It became a major element in the iconography of the 19th century independence movement in South America.
