Synopsis

In "Plutarch on the Delay of the Divine Justice," the renowned philosopher and historian Plutarch offers a profound examination of the theme of divine justice and its apparent postponement in human affairs. Written in the 1st century AD, this text employs a blend of philosophical inquiry and rhetorical elegance, characteristic of Plutarch'Äôs epistolary style. The work navigates through moral dilemmas and the human condition, drawing on classical examples to frame its discourse within the broader tapestry of Hellenistic thought, inviting readers to reflect on fate, ethics, and divine providence. Plutarch, a pivotal figure in Greek philosophy and historiography, lived during a time when questions surrounding justice and morality were of paramount importance in both civic and metaphysical realms. His experiences as a priest and his engagement with various schools of thought, particularly Stoicism and Platonism, profoundly informed his perspective on justice. It is this rich intellectual heritage that shapes his contemplative approach in this work, candidly addressing the struggles many face in reconciling human suffering with the belief in a just divine order. "Plutarch on the Delay of the Divine Justice" is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of moral philosophy and the timeless questions surrounding justice. Plutarch'Äôs insights transcend their historical context, engaging modern readers in a dialogue about justice'Äôs implications in our lives today. This work is a gem for both scholars and casual readers alike, promising to enrich one's understanding of fundamental philosophical concepts.

    After the deluge in “the destruction of mankind” the god Ra establishes a covenant with those who have escaped from the flood. He says that what he commanded is well done, and that the destruction of his enemies removes destruction from themselves. “Said by the majesty of Ra, It is well done, all this. I shall now protect men on account of this. Said by Ra, I now raise my hand that I shall not destroy men” i.e. not again. The making of this covenant after the deluge is followed by the establishment of the New Year’s festival under the direction of the young priestesses of Hathor. ―from “The Ark, the Deluge, and the World’s Great Year” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World―first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar―redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 9 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explores the prevalent imagery across numerous mythological traditions of a global flood unleashed at the behest of an angry god, and shows how they all sprang from Egyptian folklore. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828–1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

    An illuminating history of the reform agenda in higher education. 
     
    For well over one hundred years, people have been attempting to make American colleges and universities more efficient and more accountable. Indeed, Ethan Ris argues in Other People’s Colleges, the reform impulse is baked into American higher education, the result of generations of elite reformers who have called for sweeping changes in the sector and raised existential questions about its sustainability. When that reform is beneficial, offering major rewards for minor changes, colleges and universities know how to assimilate it. When it is hostile, attacking autonomy or values, they know how to resist it. The result is a sector that has learned to accept top-down reform as part of its existence. 
      
    In the early twentieth century, the “academic engineers,” a cadre of elite, external reformers from foundations, businesses, and government, worked to reshape and reorganize the vast base of the higher education pyramid. Their reform efforts were largely directed at the lower tiers of higher education, but those efforts fell short, despite the wealth and power of their backers, leaving a legacy of successful resistance that affects every college and university in the United States. Today, another coalition of business leaders, philanthropists, and politicians is again demanding efficiency, accountability, and utility from American higher education. But, as Ris argues, top-down design is not destiny. Drawing on extensive and original archival research, Other People’s Colleges offers an account of higher education that sheds light on today’s reform agenda.

    "The Other America: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Call for Economic Justice and Unity" is a powerful exploration of one of Dr. King’s most urgent and socially critical speeches. Delivered at Stanford University in 1967, The Other America goes beyond the struggle for civil rights and exposes the deep economic and racial inequalities that persist in society. In this audiobook, Dr. King’s vision unfolds against the backdrop of a nation divided—one of prosperity and privilege, the other of poverty and neglect. With a call for economic justice, fair housing, and the dignity of all people, his words remain strikingly relevant today. Featuring historical context, reflections on its modern implications, and a deeper look into King’s philosophy, this audiobook is both a testament to his legacy and a challenge to future generations to continue the fight for equality.
