Synopsis

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.

    In "Redesigning Education: A New Paradigm for Success," author Frank "Bud" O'Lery presents a compelling exploration of the challenges facing humanity in the modern era. Drawing parallels to the metaphorical "Four Horsemen of Apocalypse," O'Lery delves into the pressing issues of overcrowding, authoritarianism, greed, and environmental crises. Urging immediate action, he proposes the establishment of Educational Oases as safe havens for humanity, fostering critical thinking, knowledge, and interpersonal skills. The book envisions these Oases as fortresses of enlightenment, safeguarding arts, knowledge, and the best of human values. O'Lery contends that survival in the face of global challenges necessitates a commitment to logic, evidence, and the sanctity of life. Drawing inspiration from the concept of "the shining city on the hill," the author advocates for a new educational paradigm that addresses societal flaws and cultivates a foundation for future generations. "Redesigning Education" serves as both a discussion and a plan of action, providing a roadmap for navigating troubled times and reshaping the future of humanity.

    Machu Picchu, one of the most iconic symbols of Inca civilization, is a 15th-century fortress perched high on a mountain crest in southern Peru's Eastern Cordillera. Sitting at an altitude of 2,430 meters (7,970 feet), it is located 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Cusco, within the Machupicchu District of Urubamba Province. The fortress overlooks the Sacred Valley, and the Urubamba River winds through the valley below, cutting through the Cordillera and forming a tropical mountain canyon. This stunning geographical setting has made Machu Picchu one of the most visited and revered archaeological sites in the world. 
Unlike the Mayans, the Incas had no written language, and thus, no records of the site existed during its operation. The first Europeans to visit Machu Picchu did so only in the 19th century, and as a result, much of its history remained shrouded in mystery. Modern archaeologists, relying on tangible evidence such as graves and structural remains, have attributed names and proposed functions for the buildings, but much of the site’s exact purpose remains speculative. 
Most contemporary archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as a royal estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti, who ruled from 1438 to 1472. Constructed in 1450, the site functioned as a private residence for the emperor and his court. Over time, Machu Picchu became the most well-known image of Inca civilization and is often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas." However, the estate was abandoned in the early 16th century, following the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Recent radiocarbon dating indicates that the site was occupied from around 1420 to 1532.
