Beschreibung

Sallust's "History of Catiline's Conspiracy" presents a gripping narrative that investigates the political turmoil of late Roman Republic, focusing on the failed coup led by Lucius Sergius Catilina in 63 BCE. Written in a concise and vivid prose style characteristic of Sallust, the text employs a moral viewpoint deeply influenced by his belief in the decay of Roman values and the moral responsibilities of citizenship. Through detailed accounts and sharp characterizations, Sallust examines themes of ambition, corruption, and the struggle for power, offering a lens into a pivotal moment of betrayal and disillusionment that resonates with contemporary political discourse. Sallust, a Roman historian and politician from the late Republic era, faced the surplus of internal conflict and corruption firsthand, serving in various political capacities before retreating into writing. This personal engagement with the tumultuous events of his time, coupled with his philosophical inclinations, informed his historiography, allowing him to critique the Republic's decline while exploring the psychological motives behind political actions. His earlier works, influenced by the tension between personal ethics and public duty, set the stage for this incisive analysis of Catiline's conspiracy. For readers interested in political history and its complexities, Sallust's "History of Catiline's Conspiracy" offers an essential exploration of ambition and moral decay, illuminating not only a significant event in Roman history but also timeless insights into the human condition. This classic work serves as a crucial reference for understanding the intricate dance of power and ethics in governance, making it a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of historical narratives.

    In a time of dire need, as climate change, conflict, and economic upheaval imperil our existence and our mental well-being deteriorates from not utilising our minds as God intended, Francis Keith Robins introduces a groundbreaking approach to saving humanity – reshaping our thought processes through mathematics.
     
    In his book, The Fourth Coming, Robins provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to unlocking our inherent mathematical potential. His vision is to create a society that is inclusive, equal, and peaceful – one that aligns with God’s desire for us. He advocates for a paradigm shift where shared mathematical models and systematic thinking supplant the ineffective classes of governments and institutions currently jeopardizing our planet. This revolutionary approach aims to alter the trajectory of human history in a manner that aligns with divine intentions. 
     
    Robins’ theories, described as a work of mathematical brilliance, offer a refreshingly simple yet profound solution to consciousness – which, as noted by ‘New Scientist’, remains one of the most elusive and significant mysteries in science and philosophy. Furthermore, he concludes that the introduction of religion by God was a response to 
    humanity’s failure to use their brains as He intended.
