Synopsis

In "Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato," Thomas Taylor expertly navigates the complex terrain of Platonic thought, elucidating the foundational concepts and dialogues that have shaped Western philosophy. Taylor employs a didactic literary style, combining rigorous analysis with accessible prose that invites both scholars and lay readers alike into the intricacies of Plato's ideas. His contextualization of Plato within the broader framework of Ancient Greek philosophy reveals both the interconnectedness of philosophical thought and the relevance of Platonic ideals in contemporary discourse. Through meticulous examination of dialogues such as "The Republic" and "Phaedrus," Taylor offers insight into the allegorical subtleties and metaphysical underpinnings of Plato's work. Thomas Taylor, renowned as one of the foremost Neoplatonist philosophers and translators in the early 19th century, was greatly influenced by both classical thought and mystical philosophy. His extensive background in Ancient Greek literature and dedication to reviving Platonic texts positioned him uniquely to provide readers with a richly informed perspective on Plato's philosophies. This work reflects Taylor's passion for uncovering the spiritual dimensions of Plato's dialogues, which resonates with his own philosophical inquiries. I highly recommend "Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato" to anyone interested in the enduring legacy of Platonic thought. Whether you are a seasoned philosopher seeking a deeper understanding or a newcomer curious about the origins of Western philosophy, Taylor's comprehensive guide will illuminate the nuances of Plato's writings and inspire further exploration into the philosophical dialogue that continues to shape our world.

    Survival Food - North Woods...

    In these coming-of-age tales set on the Menominee Indian Reservation of the 1980s and 1990s, Thomas Pecore Weso explores the interrelated nature of meals and memories. As he puts it, “I cannot separate foods from the moments in my life when I first tasted them.” Weso’s stories recall the foods that influenced his youth in northern Wisconsin: subsistence meals from hunted, fished, and gathered sources; the culinary traditions of the German, Polish, and Swedish settler descendants in the area; and the commodity foods distributed by the government—like canned pork, dried beans, and powdered eggs—that made up the bulk of his family’s pantry. His mom called this “survival food.” These stories from the author’s teen and tween years—some serious, some laugh-out-loud funny—will take readers from Catholic schoolyards to Native foot trails to North Woods bowling alleys, while providing Weso’s perspective on the political currents of the era. The book also contains dozens of recipes, from turtle soup and gray squirrel stew to twice-baked cheesy potatoes. This follow-up to Weso’s Good Seeds: A Menominee Indian Food Memoir is a hybrid of modern foodways, Indigenous history, and creative nonfiction from a singular storyteller. “This book is not only about survival food, but about the singular beauty, creativity, and fortitude that comes out of that survival.” —Chef Sean Sherman, author, The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen “Survival Food is interesting because it’s one part cookbook, three parts memoir, one part history, and one part multidisciplinary exploration of its setting, northern Wisconsin." —James Norton, The Cookbook Test

    Shadowy geniuses whispering, Rasputin-like, into the ears of our elected politicians under a cloak of secrecy, or a crucial but undervalued cog in the machinery of government? … Or just a rag-tag band of weirdos and misfits?
    Despite the acres of speculation devoted to special advisers from Alastair Campbell to Dominic Cummings, their role is much misunderstood. Who are the people Piers Morgan once called 'these miserable little creatures' and just how much influence do they have?
    Peter Cardwell served as SpAd to four Cabinet ministers, acting as media adviser, political fixer, troubleshooter and occasional wardrobe consultant. In this candid, compelling and frequently hilarious insider account, he reveals what the job really involves, from dealing with counter-terror emergencies in Cobra to explaining to the Justice Secretary what a dental dam is, to having your inside leg measured in a government office.
    Packed with advice on navigating the perks and pitfalls of the job, The Secret Life of Special Advisers will inform and entertain anyone who has ever wondered what these mysterious figures really do all day.
