What if your definition of good is the very thing standing trial? In Euthyphro, Plato offers a gripping philosophical encounter between Socrates and a confident accuser of impiety—who turns out to understand far less than he thinks. As Socrates patiently dismantles Euthyphro’s claims about what is pious, we are invited into a timeless conversation on the essence of justice, religion, and ethical reasoning. This modernized audiobook translation brings clarity to one of Plato’s most accessible yet profound works. Engaging and intellectually stimulating, it’s ideal for anyone seeking to reflect on what makes an action truly moral. What you’ll discover inside: • A concise yet powerful dialogue on the true meaning of piety and divine justice • The classic “Euthyphro dilemma” that challenges both religious dogma and moral relativism • Socratic questioning at its finest—used to reveal assumptions and deepen understanding • A modern, easy-to-follow adaptation designed for thinkers and listeners of today Whether you’re exploring the roots of ethics or questioning inherited beliefs, Euthyphro will lead you to the heart of moral inquiry.Zum Buch
The contents of this volume consist of addresses delivered at various times before Lodges of the Theosophical Society and selected for their reference to the subject of immortality. Some of them were published in The Path, Vol. II. In order to make the chapters more or less coherent, the matter has been slightly rearranged, but certain repetitions will be noticed which are unavoidable, owing to the inter-relation of the subjects discussed and to the fact that, having been addressed to different audiences, some explanation of the bearing of the part on the whole was necessary. I have not attempted to eliminate these redundancies, for the philosophy, sketchily outlined herein, is not easy to grasp, inasmuch as its fundamental data and principles are in contradistinction to much of the current thought of our time. I. THE APPROACH TO THE PATH and FOREWARD II. THE RACES OF HUMANITY III. SENSE-FUNCTIONS AND FACULTIES OF THE MIND IV. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY V. BREATH AND DESIRE VI. WILL, UNIVERSAL AND INDIVIDUAL VII. THOUGHT - ITS ORIGIN AND CONTROL VIII. BIRTH AND DEATH IX. THE SOUL AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS X. THE IMMORTAL SOULZum Buch
This book concerns the religious impact of the Black Death. This plague devastated Europe in the fourteenth century. It examines the impact of the Black Death on the Catholic Church and the religious movements that arose in response to it. The conclusions drawn here are based on the research of both primary and secondary sources. The Church played a significant role during the Middle Ages because religion was an essential aspect of daily life for European Christians. When the Black Death struck Europe in 1347, the Church struggled to cope with the plague’s damaging consequences, and its reputation suffered as a result. This book concludes that the Black Death contributed to a decline in the confidence and faith of the Christian laity towards the Church and its leadership. The scope of this book focuses on the plague’s impact on the clergy, the rise of the flagellant movement, and the widespread Jewish persecutions that ensued in the wake of the epidemic. The Black Death was a pivotal event in the history of Western society, with profound cultural and demographic consequences. Its impact on the Church and religion within the medieval community justifies the study of this topic.Zum Buch

"Those who wonder how the international community failed so dramatically in Afghanistan need look no further … Losing Afghanistan explores the arguments for and against intervention and highlights the difficulty of establishing unity of purpose and effort in such demanding circumstances. Above all, it poses a question: how can we in the West claim we know so much, yet demonstrate in Afghanistan that we understand so little?" – General (retd) Sir Jack Deverell OBE, former Commander-in-Chief of Allied Forces Northern Europe "A wonderful book of insightful essays on Afghanistan from an outsider lens." – Ezatullah Adib, head of research at Integrity Watch Afghanistan and national country representative at the World Association for Public Opinion Research "The strategic question posed by these brilliant essays is: how can the doctrine of liberal intervention be reframed to ensure the West intervenes overseas to manage future humanitarian calamities for reasons beyond just national security?" – Brigadier (retd) Justin Hedges OBE *** When Taliban forces took Kabul on 15 August 2021, it marked the end of the Western intervention that had begun nearly twenty years earlier with the US-led invasion. The fall of Afghanistan triggered a seismic shock in the West, where US President Joe Biden announced an end to America's involvement in conflicts overseas. In Afghanistan itself it produced terror for the future for those who had worked with and grown up under the coalition-supported administration. Now, with the country spiralling into economic collapse and famine, Losing Afghanistan is a plea for us to keep our gaze on the plight of the people of Afghanistan and to understand how action and inaction in the West shaped the fate of the nation. Why was Afghanistan lost? Can it be regained? And what happens next? Edited by international development expert Brian Brivati, this collection of twenty-one essays by analysts, politicians, soldiers, commentators and practitioners – interspersed with powerful eyewitness testimony from Afghan voices – explains what happened in Afghanistan and why, and what the future holds both for its people and for liberal intervention.Zum Buch
For most of history, people lived in small, tight-knit communities where interactions were with familiar faces. But with the Age of Exploration, strangers became a regular part of life. Misunderstandings, amplified by language barriers and cultural differences, were common, and these issues still persist today, even among people who speak the same language. It's easy to make assumptions about how others see the world, and it’s difficult to avoid the biases we carry. Some misunderstandings arise because of lies, and lies can be incredibly difficult to detect. Some deceivers are skilled at hiding their dishonesty, while others may lie poorly, yet still manage to gain people’s trust. It’s not that people are naïve; rather, humans are wired to trust others by default. This tendency, coupled with the belief that we’re good at reading character, often leads us astray. The consequences of misjudging others can be severe—ranging from financial loss and wrongful imprisonment to life-threatening situations. It’s essential to be mindful of the gaps in our understanding and work to see things from others’ perspectives.Zum Buch
