  What if the most admired teacher in philosophy couldn’t show you how to live well? 
  In Clitophon, Plato gives voice to a disillusioned disciple. Clitophon, once captivated by Socrates’ speeches, now questions their value—arguing that Socrates inspires but never instructs. In this brief yet bold exchange, the roles of teacher and student are reversed. 
  This modern translation captures the tension, ambiguity, and unresolved nature of Plato’s shortest dialogue—offering a powerful look at the limits of inspiration without action. 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Direct Challenge to Socratic Philosophy – Clitophon accuses Socrates of failing to guide others to virtue 
  •	A Dialogue Unlike Any Other – Brief, mysterious, and unresolved—leaving interpretation open 
  •	The Limits of Inspiration – Explore the gap between admiration and transformation 
  •	A Clear, Thoughtful Translation – Perfect for anyone studying the role of philosophy in real-life virtue 
  Experience Clitophon, Plato’s most cryptic confrontation, and decide for yourself—can words alone lead to wisdom?

  As the failures of physicalism begin to shake the confidence of even the most biased of its supporters, a new view on the nature of reality is establishing itself as the only tenable alternative: Analytic Idealism. According to it, there is a world out there independent of our individual minds, but such world is—just like ourselves—also mental or experiential. While being a realist, naturalist, rationalist, and even reductionist view, Analytic Idealism flips our culture-bound intuitions on their head, revealing that only through understanding our own inner nature can we understand the nature of the world. This book embodies its author's years-long experience on how best to explain Analytic Idealism to someone who has never studied it before and has no background in the technical fields involved. It meets the listeners where they are, holding their hand as they are shown—through a series of evocative metaphors—how to see through their own unexamined assumptions, so to realize how the impossible dilemmas of physicalism disappear when nature is regarded from a slightly different slant. The conclusions have tremendous implications for our values and way of life, as well as our understanding of purpose, self, identity, and death.

  Qing Dynasty - China's Last...

  The Qing Dynasty, China’s last imperial dynasty, emerged from the northeastern frontier, led by the Manchu people. Before establishing their rule over China, the Manchus were a semi-nomadic group descended from the Jurchens, who had previously ruled northern China under the Jin Dynasty. In the early 17th century, Nurhaci, a formidable leader, laid the foundation for Manchu power by unifying various Jurchen tribes and adopting administrative and military structures inspired by the Ming Dynasty. His successor, Hong Taiji, continued these efforts, formally establishing the Qing Dynasty in 1636. However, the conquest of China was still incomplete, as the Ming Dynasty continued to rule the heartland. 
  The decline of the Ming Dynasty provided an opportunity for the Qing to assert their dominance. By the early 17th century, the Ming government was weakened by internal corruption, peasant uprisings, and economic distress exacerbated by famine and mismanagement. The most devastating of these rebellions was led by Li Zicheng, a former postal worker turned insurgent, whose forces overran Beijing in 1644. The fall of the Ming capital marked a critical turning point. With the Ming emperor dead and the central government in disarray, a Ming general, Wu Sangui, faced a difficult choice: resist the rebel forces or seek outside aid. He chose the latter, opening the gates of the Great Wall at Shanhai Pass to the advancing Qing army. The Manchus, under the leadership of Prince Dorgon, seized the moment, swiftly capturing Beijing and declaring the establishment of Qing rule.
