Beschreibung

Ever wondered why a rich Athenian who died 2,400 years ago still dominates Western thought? Or why your professor keeps talking about invisible triangles and prisoners staring at shadows? "Plato's Cave: Philosophy's First Reality Show" is the hilarious guide to Plato you never knew you needed.In this irreverent takedown of philosophy's founding father, author Sophia Blackwell translates Plato's lofty ideas into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his metaphysical obsessions, aristocratic biases, and suspicious fondness for "perfect forms."You'll discover:
 
Why the Cave Allegory is history's most elaborate way of calling everyone else stupid
 
How Plato convinced generations that imaginary triangles are more real than actual ones
 
Why "platonic relationship" means the exact opposite of what Plato intended
 
How one failed playwright created Western philosophy's most successful PR smear campaign
 
Why we're still arguing about the same questions 2,400 years later
 
Perfect for philosophy students suffering through required reading, professors with a sense of humor, or anyone who's ever wondered why we care what a privileged Athenian thought about reality. "Plato's Cave" proves that understanding philosophy doesn't have to be painful—though Plato himself might disagree.Buy now and escape the cave of philosophical confusion! No prior knowledge required—just a willingness to laugh at one of history's most influential thinkers.Part of the bestselling "Cogito Ergo Nope!" series that makes philosophy accessible without being condescending and funny without sacrificing accuracy.

    One night in 2009, Tanya Frank finds her nineteen-year-old son, Zach—gentle and full of promise—in the grip of what the psychiatrists would label a psychotic break. Suddenly and inexplicably, Tanya is thrown into a parallel universe: Zach's world, where the phones are bugged, his friends have joined the Mafia, and helicopters are spying on his family. 
     
     
     
    In the years following Zach's shifting psychiatric diagnoses, Tanya goes to war for her son, desperate to find the right answer, the right drug, the right doctor to bring him back to reality. Meanwhile, the boy she raised—the chatty, precocious dog-lover, the teenager who spent summers surfing with his big brother, the UCLA student—suffers the effects of multiple hospitalizations, powerful drugs that blunt his emotions, therapies that don't work, and torturous nights on the streets. Holding on to startling moments of hope and seeking solace in nature and community, Tanya learns how to abandon her fears for the future and accept the mysteries of her son’s altered states. 
     
     
     
    With tenderness, lyricism, and generous candor, this compelling story conveys the power of a mother's love. Zig-Zag Boy is both a moving lamentation for things lost and a brave testament to the people we become in difficult circumstances.

    NATIONAL BESTSELLER 
     
     
    This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 
     
    What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try? 
     
    The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view ‘common sense,’ and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.

    The free market and capitalism have long been foundational principles of economic systems around the world. At their core, they represent the idea that economic decisions, such as production, investment, and distribution, should be guided by the forces of supply and demand with minimal government intervention. In a truly free market, goods and services are exchanged in a competitive environment where prices are determined by the collective actions of consumers and producers rather than by central planning or state control. 
    Capitalism, as an economic system, emerged during the early stages of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. Its roots trace back even further to mercantilist policies that prioritized trade and accumulation of wealth through colonial ventures. Over time, capitalism has evolved from simple trade systems to complex global markets, driven by the desire for profit and the expansion of economic activities. The central tenet of capitalism is the pursuit of self-interest, where individuals or organizations are motivated to create wealth by competing in open markets. 
    This system offers several advantages, such as fostering innovation, encouraging efficiency, and enabling individuals to accumulate wealth. By allowing businesses and entrepreneurs to operate freely, capitalism encourages the creation of new products, services, and technologies, which in turn leads to economic growth and increased standards of living. Moreover, the competitive nature of free markets ensures that resources are allocated efficiently, as businesses strive to meet consumer demands at the lowest cost.
