Of Clemency - Enriched edition

Seneca

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

Seneca's "Of Clemency" is a philosophical treatise that delves into the nature of mercy and the moral imperatives underpinning governance. Written in the context of the Roman Empire, the work reflects Stoic principles, advocating for a ruler's obligation to exhibit clemency as a demonstration of true strength and virtuous leadership. The text serves as a prescriptive guide for emperors, particularly directed at Nero, advising them on the delicate balance between power and morality, and how justice intertwined with compassion can secure societal harmony. Seneca's elegant prose and profound insights illuminate the ethical dilemmas faced by those in power, making it a crucial work for understanding Roman political philosophy. Seneca, a prominent Stoic philosopher, statesman, and playwright, faced the complexities of political life in ancient Rome firsthand, which profoundly influenced his writing in "Of Clemency." His own experiences with imperial authority and the consequences of tyranny compelled him to address the need for moral leadership. Seneca's philosophical insights not only resonate within his historical context but also offer timeless reflections on ethics and governance. "Of Clemency" is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of philosophy, political theory, and ethics. Its relevance persists today, inviting readers to reflect on the moral obligations of leadership and the potential for mercy to transform societies. Engaging with this text promises a deeper understanding of both ancient wisdom and contemporary governance.

Living without Psychology - A...

Shareef Mokdad

Career, love, security, family, country, social cause, reform, revolution, ideology, entertainment, self-reinvention, pursuit of the unknown. Have you ever noticed how these things shape the years and decades not only of our own lives but of humanity, right through old age, regardless of demographic, cultural, and professional differences? Have you ever noticed how all of us - the living, the ancestors and posterity - tread the exact same path across time, from generation to generation, century to century, without ever getting past that one common denominator: our own self-interest? And, what kind of society have we built around our self-interests? Not only are we not profoundly better people but we have also destroyed each other and the world.  
Long with me, dear friend, to go beyond our self-centered psychological needs, including righteous ones as self-awareness and self-actualization, and to tap into what undoubtedly is the calling of our time: co-operation. At this critical juncture in human history, let us find out what it takes to bring about a level of co-operation unknown to humanity - in allfields including relationship, academia, diet, and environmental change - without which the world stands no chance. 
This is not a spiritual self-help book but an invitation to free oneself from psychology, in all its traditional and modern forms, so that a new world is built right in the heart of our highly destructive society.

Abortion Pills Go Global -...

Dr. Sydney Calkin

A bold, unique look into the global self-managed abortion movement 
 
Abortion pills have made safe abortion possible for millions of people around the world, even in the most restrictive circumstances. Sydney Calkin illustrates the profound, transformative promise of these pills—which are safe, effective, and responsible for a sharp decline in maternal mortality. This timely book demonstrates that the widespread practice of self-managed medication abortion makes it more difficult for countries to enforce oppressive abortion laws and less willing to do so. 
 
Following these pills as they are manufactured and transported by feminist activists in nations from India to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Poland, and the United States, Calkin shows that their growing availability in places with restrictive laws means more people have access to self-managed healthcare. Abortion Pills Go Global looks ahead to see how the broader politics of abortion could shift in response to this global movement—one that looks not to laws for protection but to on-the-ground feminist mobilizations across borders.
