Sinopse

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.

    In What's Real About Race?, sociologist Rina Bliss illuminates the truth about one of the most misunderstood, controversial concepts in our society and reveals why we cannot confuse race with genetic difference. Blending energizing prose with the latest in genetics research, this paradigm-shifting tour unmasks what's truly real about race: namely, racism's impact on our bodies and lives. 
     
     
     
    Bliss traces the history of race, revealing how unscientific categories of identity—White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native—became the standard, and illuminates how the myth of biological races endures in science and society, warping our understanding of complex topics like intelligence, disease susceptibility, and behavior. Along the way, What's Real About Race? busts enduring myths about IQ, ancestry tests, behavioral racism, and more. In fascinating explorations of gene research, medicine, and social justice, Bliss argues for a new way forward. To create equity in science and society, we must disentangle our understanding of genetics from identity and see race for what it really is: a purely social category. At a time when misinformation about our bodies and identities is dangerously prevalent, What's Real About Race? is an indispensable resource and a powerful reminder that, biologically, our similarities vastly outweigh our differences.

    Originally written as a series of newspaper articles in 1847, Wage-Labor and Capital were intended to give an overview of Marx’s central theories regarding the economic relationships between workers and capitalists. These theories outlined include the Marxian form of the Labour Theory of Value, which distinguishes “labor” from “labor-power”, and the Theory of Concentration of Capital, which states that capitalism tends towards the creation of monopolies and the disenfranchisement of the middle and working classes. These theories were later elaborated in Volume 1 of Capital, published in 1867. Karl Heinrich Marx FRSA was a German philosopher, a critic of political economy, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist, and socialist revolutionary. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and the four-volume Das Kapital.

    The Critique of Pure Reason...

    Immanuel Kant

    In this seminal text, Kant argues that human knowledge is limited to the phenomenal world, which is experienced through the senses and understood through the categories of space, time, and causality. He introduces the concept of the "transcendental aesthetic," which outlines the necessary conditions for the possibility of experience, and the "transcendental analytic," which analyzes the conditions under which objects can be known. Kant's critique of pure reason aims to demonstrate that there are limits to human knowledge, while also asserting the necessity and validity of reason in the acquisition of knowledge. This groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern philosophy and has had a profound impact on subsequent philosophical thought.

    Are you focused on what's wrong with your students? Now you can transform learning by reframing your view from what's wrong to what's strong. 
     
     
     
    "At risk." "Low." "Title I kids." If you've worked with students, you've probably heard or said these coded labels that reflect deficit thinking. This focus on weakness is a pervasive, powerful judgment that continues to harm students long after they leave school. It's time for educators to hack deficit thinking, think about SEL and about strength-based teaching, and reframe teaching and learning. 
     
     
     
    Nationally certified school psychologists McClure and Reed show teachers, administrators, and support staff how to unlearn student blame and reframe thinking to focus on students' strengths. When we acknowledge the impact of teaching practices and the broader structural inequities, we can help everyone reach their highest potential. 
     
     
     
    In Hacking Deficit Thinking, you'll learn how to: build on student strengths; think about student empathy; humanize your data; recognize the value of differences; think about teacher empathy; talk about equity in schools; tap into school-wide strengths; flourish as an educator.
