Summary

Socratic Method Basis explores the enduring power of Socrates' method of questioning, a cornerstone of critical thinking and philosophical inquiry. The book argues that this method, far from being a simple exchange, is a structured process designed to expose inconsistencies and guide individuals towards deeper understanding. Intriguingly, Socrates' approach involves elements of irony and intellectual midwifery, challenging assumptions and fostering self-awareness.

 
The book begins by setting the stage in ancient Athens, examining the cultural emphasis on argumentation that shaped Socrates' original approach. It then dissects core components like elenchus (cross-examination) and maieutics, using dialogues from Plato's Euthyphro, Meno, and Republic to demonstrate the method in action.

 
Furthermore, the book investigates ethical and epistemological implications, and also explores how techniques of cross examination are used today in fields like law, education, and business negotiations.

    That summer afternoon, I had no way of knowing the book would radically alter my existence. Yet that proved to be the case. A wind that had begun to blow from a faraway place a long time ago had finally caught up with me.
So writes folklorist José Manuel de Prada-Samper about a chance discovery more than thirty years ago of an obscure book called Specimens of Bushman Folklore in a second-hand bookshop in England.
Part historical detective story, part memoir, Fading Footprints traces the author's journey into the magical folklore of the /xam hunter-gatherers of the Upper Karoo. Through archival research and on field trips in South Africa, de Prada-Samper reveals the tragic scope of the genocide of the /xam San by European colonisers. However, he is also able to humanise the /xam as he delves into the work and lives of researchers Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd, who recorded the stories of San prisoners in Cape Town over more than a decade in the late 1800s.
Determined to seek out the ancient folklore tales, the author travels to forgotten corners of the Northern Cape. There he learns that many stories are still told to this day by farm workers and that, contrary to common belief, the culture and traditions of South Africa's first people are still very much alive. Their footprints may have faded but they have not been erased.

    When it comes to relationships, our society has plenty of expectations. We're supposed to know how to speak up for ourselves in bed, be caring partners, and, of course, love ourselves first. But no one tells us how to actually do all those things, and we are left feeling unsatisfied, confused, and ashamed when we don't measure up. Former Deputy District Attorney Rena Martine was in that position. After rejecting the ideal white-picket fence life, she embarked on a journey to redefine intimacy in a way that felt true. In the years that followed, Rena defied all of society's sexual norms, built a presence as a global women's intimacy coach, and created the intimate life she craved. 
 
 
 
Now she brings those experiences to you! With no-holds-barred honesty, stories from real-life women, and sparkling humor, The Sex You Want will help you: build a secure relationship with your most important partner—yourself; get in touch with your expectations for relationships so you can date more intentionally; demystify lifestyle practices outside of the heterosexual-monogamous-vanilla box with frank discussions of female sexual fluidity, kink, and ethical non-monogamy; find apps, products, and communities to satisfy any curiosity; and bring deep intimacy and exciting variety into your bedroom and beyond.

    The current school system churns out millions of illiterates and mental zombies—but here's how we're going to fix it, starting today. 
 
 
 
Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents across the nation grapple with a new and horrifying understanding of just how bad our educational system has become. It all adds up to a system that seems hopelessly, terribly, and irrevocably broken. But as an educator and author, Andrew Bernstein reminds us that American education in the nineteenth through early-twentieth century was superb. This nation once knew how to turn out the brightest, most resourceful and independent-thinking people the world had ever seen. We can do it again.
