Samuel Johnson

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Lives of the English Poets: Waller, Milton, Cowley," Samuel Johnson presents a fascinating blend of biography and critical analysis, offering insights into the lives and works of three pivotal figures in English literature. Written in the 18th century during a time when literary criticism was emerging as a distinct field, Johnson's prose is characterized by its eloquent clarity and deep understanding of poetic form and context. This work exemplifies his method of intertwining personal anecdotes and historical context, allowing readers to appreciate not only the poets' artistic contributions but their struggles and triumphs within the dynamic literary landscape of their time. Samuel Johnson, a preeminent literary figure and lexicographer, was deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of the 17th century, particularly the metaphysical poets and the evolving narrative of English verse. His own experiences with adversity and the vibrant literary circles in which he moved informed his perceptive evaluations. Johnson's comprehensive background as an author, critic, and compiler of the dictionary provided him with the tools to dissect the complexities of poetic expression and authorial intention. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of English poetry and literary criticism. Johnson's incisive analysis and rich narrative style not only celebrate the talent of Waller, Milton, and Cowley but also invite readers to reflect on the enduring power of poetry. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the societal and personal influences that shaped these poets will find Johnson's work both enlightening and compelling.

Summary: Mindset - The New...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
"Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., introduces the powerful concept of mindset, which has the potential to impact success in various aspects of life significantly. Based on extensive research, Dweck distinguishes between two mindsets: the fixed mindset, where people believe abilities are unchangeable, and the growth mindset, where individuals believe that abilities can be developed and improved over time. 
Dweck's book demonstrates how adopting a growth mindset can lead to incredible achievement in education, work, sports, and the arts. She also delves into the concept of a "false growth mindset" and provides guidance on embracing a deeper and more authentic growth mindset. Furthermore, she extends the application of mindset beyond individuals to groups and organizations, emphasizing how it can shape the culture of these entities. 
By understanding and fostering the right mindset, Dweck suggests that leaders, parents, teachers, and coaches can inspire personal growth and transformation in themselves and those they influence. "Mindset" offers invaluable insights into the psychology of success and provides practical strategies for harnessing the power of mindset to achieve outstanding accomplishments.

It invites viewers to ponder deep questions: Are we mere observers, or integral parts of this cosmic equation? How do our philosophies shape the way we interpret the universe's grandeur? 
With imagery of glowing symbols, swirling galaxies, and the serene presence of a philosopher amidst the stars, "Beyond the Equation" encapsulates the timeless pursuit of knowledge, bridging the finite and infinite, the known and the mysterious. It is a call to embrace curiosity and view the universe as an endless dialogue between science and philosophy.

Thanatology - The Study of Death

Mike Crawford

Thanatology, the study of death and the processes surrounding it, has deep historical roots. While the formal discipline emerged in the 20th century, human fascination with death dates back to ancient times. Early civilizations developed complex rituals, beliefs, and philosophies surrounding death, shaping the way societies understood and coped with mortality. Over time, thanatology evolved from religious and philosophical inquiries to a multidisciplinary field incorporating medical, psychological, and sociological perspectives.
In ancient societies, death was often viewed through a spiritual or mythological lens. Egyptian, Greek, and Hindu traditions conceptualized the afterlife in elaborate ways, influencing burial practices and rituals. The Egyptians, for instance, believed in the preservation of the body for the soul’s journey in the afterlife, leading to the practice of mummification. Similarly, Greek philosophy—particularly the works of Plato—explored the soul’s immortality and the nature of existence beyond death. These early interpretations laid the groundwork for later philosophical and religious discussions on mortality.
The Middle Ages saw the dominance of religious perspectives on death, with Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism offering moral and theological frameworks for understanding mortality. Death was often seen as a transition rather than an end, shaping attitudes toward dying and burial practices. The Black Death in the 14th century significantly influenced perceptions of death, leading to a greater emphasis on the fragility of life and the afterlife. Art, literature, and religious texts from this period reflect a deep engagement with the themes of death and salvation.
