Summary

"Civil Rights" explores the long struggle for racial equality in the United States, highlighting legislative milestones, activism, and key court decisions. The book argues that this pursuit is ongoing, requiring constant vigilance to dismantle systemic barriers. Understanding the history of slavery and Jim Crow laws is crucial for grasping current challenges, as the book examines the social, political, and economic forces impacting civil rights.

 
The book begins by introducing foundational concepts before chronologically exploring the movement's phases. It delves into landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, analyzing their impact. Central figures are profiled, and contemporary issues like systemic racism and police brutality are examined, demonstrating the movement's enduring relevance.

 
Supported by primary and secondary sources, "Civil Rights" uniquely draws connections between history, political science, sociology, and legal studies. This interdisciplinary approach enhances the book's argument by illustrating how social, political, and legal factors interact to shape the landscape of civil rights, offering a comprehensive understanding of the movement.

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. ​In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis and author of Civilization and Its Discontents, exploring science, religion, happiness, and the pleasure principle.

    An analysis of the classic Greek dialogue about absolute rule and the impassioned commentary it inspired between two philosophers.On Tyranny is Leo Strauss’s classic reading of Xenophon’s dialogue Hiero, or Tyrannicus, in which the tyrant Hiero and the poet Simonides discuss the advantages and disadvantages of exercising tyranny. Included are a translation of the dialogue from its original Greek, a critique of Strauss’s commentary by the French philosopher Alexandre Kojève, and the complete correspondence between the two.This revised and expanded edition introduces important corrections throughout and expands Strauss’s restatement of his position in light of Kojève’s commentary to bring it into conformity with the text as it was originally published in France.“On Tyranny is a complex and stimulating book with its ‘parallel dialogue’ made all the more striking since both participants take such unusual, highly provocative positions and so force readers to face substantial problems in what are often wholly unfamiliar, even shocking ways.” ―History and Theory
