Sinopse

In "Hints Towards the Formation of a More Comprehensive Theory of Life," Samuel Taylor Coleridge embarks on an ambitious exploration of the intersection between philosophy, science, and aesthetics. This work, composed in the early 19th century, exemplifies the Romantic period's quest for a synthesis of knowledge, advocating for a holistic understanding of life that transcends mere empirical observation. Coleridge employs a suggestive, often poetic style, weaving intricate arguments that challenge the prevailing mechanistic views of the time, advocating instead for a view that recognizes the interconnectedness of all existence and the dynamic interplay between the spiritual and material realms. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a foundational figure in English Romanticism, is renowned not only for his poetry but also for his profound philosophical insights. His extensive reading and intellectual engagements with contemporaneous thinkers such as William Wordsworth and Immanuel Kant informed his thoughts on life and existence, leading to this reflective treatise. Coleridge's own struggles with mental health and his interest in the natural world undoubtedly shaped his perspectives, instilling a deep appreciation for the complexities of life. Coleridge's "Hints" is a profound invitation for readers to reconsider their understanding of life and its myriad facets. Ideal for those interested in Romantic philosophy, it offers a rich tapestry of thought that remains relevant in contemporary discourse on life sciences and metaphysics. This book is a valuable cornerstone for anyone seeking to delve deeper into the philosophical underpinnings of existence.

    Dara Shukoh -- the emperor Shah Jahan's favourite son, and heir-apparent to the Mughal throne prior to being defeated by Aurangzib -- has sometimes been portrayed as an effete prince, incompetent in military and administrative matters. But his tolerance towards other faiths, and the myths and anecdotes surrounding him, continue to fuel the popular imagination. Even today, over 350 years after his death, the debate rages on: if this 'good' Mughal had ascended the throne instead of his pugnacious younger brother, how would that have changed the course of Indian history? Dara Shukoh: The Man Who Would Be King brings to life the story of this enigmatic Mughal prince. Rich in historical detail and psychological insight, it brilliantly recreates a bygone age, and presents an empathetic and engaging portrait of the crown prince who was, in many ways, clearly ahead of his times.

    Roman society, one of the most influential civilizations in human history, was built upon a complex and well-structured foundation that evolved over centuries. The origins of Roman civilization can be traced back to the early settlements along the Tiber River, where communities of farmers and shepherds gradually coalesced into the city-state of Rome. As Rome expanded, both geographically and politically, its social structure grew more intricate, reflecting a blend of indigenous customs and influences from conquered territories. 
    At the heart of Roman society was a rigid social hierarchy, essential to maintaining order and stability. This structure was divided primarily into two main classes: the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians were the elite, consisting of noble families who claimed descent from Rome's founding fathers. They held significant political power and owned vast lands. In contrast, the plebeians represented the common people, including farmers, craftsmen, and laborers. Though initially excluded from many aspects of governance, the plebeians gradually secured political rights through persistent social struggles, leading to the establishment of the office of the Tribune, which protected their interests. 
    Apart from these major classes, Roman society also included a growing number of slaves, who were often prisoners of war or born into servitude. Slavery was integral to the Roman economy, with slaves performing various tasks, from domestic duties to skilled labor in workshops. Despite their lack of freedom, some slaves, particularly those with specialized skills, could earn their emancipation, gaining the status of freedmen and integrating into the lower echelons of society.

    An expansive and accessible account of anarchism as a theory of practice. 
     
     
     
    Means and Ends is a new overview of the revolutionary strategy of anarchism in Europe and the United States between 1868 and 1939. Zoe Baker clearly and accessibly explains the ideas that historical anarchists developed in order to change the world. This includes their views on direct action, revolution, organization, state socialism, reforms, and trade unions. Throughout, she demonstrates that the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a theoretical framework—a theory of practice—which maintained that, as people engage in activity, they simultaneously change the world and themselves. This theoretical framework was the foundation for the anarchist commitment to the unity of means and ends: the means that revolutionaries propose to achieve social change have to involve forms of activity which transform people into individuals who are capable of, and driven to, both overthrow capitalism and the state and build a free society. The consistent heart of anarchism was the idea that anarchist ends can only be achieved through anarchist means. Cutting through misconceptions and historical inaccuracies, Baker draws upon a vast assortment of examples to show how this simple premise underpinned anarchist attempts to put theory into action.
