Summary

Spartan Discipline explores the society of ancient Sparta, focusing on its unique system that produced exceptionally disciplined warriors. It examines how the Agoge, Sparta's rigorous military education, shaped individuals from a young age, instilling a culture of absolute loyalty and conformity. The book investigates the economic and political structures that supported Sparta's militaristic society, revealing how these elements combined to create a dominant force in ancient Greece. The book argues that Sparta's military success wasn't just about battlefield tactics but stemmed from a deeply ingrained societal system. Exploring the legendary lawgiver Lycurgus and the establishment of Sparta's institutions, the book progresses through three main parts: the origins of Sparta, the intricacies of the Agoge, and an examination of Spartan society including the roles of women and helots. It provides historical context and analyzes the psychological impact of Spartan training, drawing on writings from Xenophon, Plutarch, and Thucydides. This study of military history offers a fresh perspective by connecting ancient practices with modern military and psychological research. By examining the Agoge, the book demonstrates the degree of mental and physical toughness required of Spartan warriors. Ultimately, the book analyzes Sparta's legacy and its lasting impact on military thought, offering insights into the principles of resilience and teamwork that remain relevant today.

    Christian Philosophy as a Way of...

    Philosophy is often seen as anything but practically relevant to everyday life. In this brief, accessible introduction, Ross Inman explores four hidden assumptions that lurk behind questions involving philosophy's relevance. He shows that philosophy is one of most practical subjects of study, for it satisfies our deep human need to make sense of it all. 
     
    This book recovers a more classical vision of Christian philosophy as an entire way of life. Inman shows that wonder is the distinctively human posture that drives and sustains the examined life and makes a compelling case that philosophy is valuable, practical, and significant for every aspect of Christian life and ministry. Living philosophically as a Christian enables us to be properly attuned to what is true and good in Christ and to orient our lives to the highest goals worth pursuing. 
     
    This is an ideal introductory book for students of philosophy, Christian thought, and worldview studies. It will also work well in classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts.

    In Heavyweight, Jordana Moore Saggese examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States, paying particular attention to the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport. Looking closely at the "shadow archive" of portrayals across fine art, vernacular imagery, and public media at the turn of the twentieth century, she demonstrates how the images of boxers reveal the racist stereotypes implicit in them, many of which continue to structure ideas of Black men today. With a focus on both anonymous fighters and notorious champions, including Jack Johnson, Saggese contends that popular images of these men provided white spectators a way to render themselves experts on Blackness and Black masculinity. These images became the blueprint for white conceptions of the Black male body—existing between fear and fantasy, simultaneously an object of desire and an instrument of violence. Reframing boxing as yet another way whiteness establishes the violent mythology of its supremacy, Saggese highlights the role of imagery in normalizing a culture of anti-Blackness.
