Timaeus - Enriched edition

Plato

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Timaeus," Plato presents a profound exploration of the cosmos, weaving together philosophical inquiry and natural science through the dialogue of Timaeus, Critias, and Socrates. At its core, the text delves into the nature of the universe, positing a world created by a divine craftsman and emphasizing the importance of mathematics in understanding reality. This work reflects Plato's innovative literary style, characterized by rich metaphors and allegorical narratives. Stylistically, it intertwines philosophical discourse with speculative cosmology, setting the stage for later developments in both metaphysics and natural philosophy. Plato, the eminent Athenian philosopher and student of Socrates, wrote "Timaeus" around 360 BCE, during a period that sought to reconcile myth with reason. His experiences in the tumultuous political landscape of Athens, coupled with the influence of Pythagorean thought, shaped his contemplation of the cosmos and the human condition. This work is not only a testament to his philosophical legacy but also reflects his intention to bridge the realms of science and spirituality. "Timaeus" is essential for anyone interested in the foundations of Western philosophy and science. It invites readers to engage in a deep intellectual journey that probes the essence of existence and the ordered beauty of the universe. Those seeking to understand the origins of philosophical discourse will find in Plato's text a timeless and illuminating source.

Buried Treasures - The Power of...

Jack Zipes

Jack Zipes has spent decades as a "scholarly scavenger," discovering forgotten fairy tales in libraries, flea markets, used bookstores, and internet searches, and he has introduced countless readers to these remarkable works and their authors. In Buried Treasures, Zipes describes his special passion for uncovering political fairy tales of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, offers fascinating profiles of more than a dozen of their writers and illustrators, and shows why they deserve greater attention and appreciation. 
 
 
 
These writers and artists used their remarkable talents to confront political oppression and economic exploitation by creating alternative, imaginative worlds that test the ethics and morals of the real world and expose hidden truths. Among the figures we meet here are Édouard Laboulaye, a jurist who wrote acute fairy tales about justice; Charles Godfrey Leland, a folklorist who found other worlds in tales of Native Americans, witches, and Roma; Kurt Schwitters, an artist who wrote satirical, antiauthoritarian stories; Mariette Lydis, a painter who depicted lost-and-found souls; Lisa Tetzner, who dramatized exploitation by elites; Felix Salten, who unveiled the real meaning of Bambi's dangerous life in the forest; and Gianni Rodari, whose work showed just how political and insightful fantasy stories can be.

It Can’t Rain All the Time - The...

Alisha Mughal

A passionate analysis of the ill-fated 1994 film starring the late Brandon Lee and its long-lasting influence on action movies, cinematic grief, and emotional masculinity
		 
Released in 1994, The Crow first drew in audiences thanks to the well-publicized tragedy that loomed over the film: lead actor Brandon Lee had died on set due to a mishandled prop gun. But it soon became clear that The Crow was more than just an accumulation of its tragic parts. The celebrated critic Roger Ebert wrote that Lee’s performance was “more of a screen achievement than any of the films of his father, Bruce Lee.”
		 
In It Can’t Rain All the Time, Alisha Mughal argues that The Crow has transcended Brandon Lee’s death by exposing the most challenging human emotions in all their dark, dramatic, and visceral glory, so much so that it has spawned three sequels, a remake, and an intense fandom. Eric, our back-from-the-dead, grieving protagonist, shows us that there is no solution to depression or loss, there is only our own internal, messy work. By the end of the movie, we realize that Eric has presented us with a vast range of emotions and that masculinity doesn’t need to be hard and impenetrable.
		 
Through her memories of seeking solace in the film during her own grieving period, Alisha brilliantly shows that, for all its gothic sadness, The Crow is, surprisingly and touchingly, a movie about redemption and hope.
