Synopsis

The Philosophical Dictionary is an encyclopedic dictionary published by the Enlightenment thinker Voltaire in 1764. The alphabetically arranged articles often criticize the Roman Catholic Church, Judaism, Islam, and other institutions.

François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778) was a French Enlightenment writer, philosopher (philosophe) and historian. Known by his nom de plume M. de Voltaire he was famous for his wit, in addition to his criticism of Christianity—especially of the Roman Catholic Church—and of slavery. Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion and separation of church and state.

    The End of Heaven - Disaster and...

    In this unique book, Sidney Dekker tackles a largely unexplored dilemma. Our scientific age has equipped us ever better to explain why things go wrong. But this increasing sophistication actually makes it harder to explain why we suffer. Accidents and disasters have become technical problems without inherent purpose. When told of a disaster, we easily feel lost in the steely emptiness of technical languages of engineering or medicine. Or, in our drive to pinpoint the source of suffering, we succumb to the hunt for a scapegoat, possibly inflicting even greater suffering on others around us. How can we satisfactorily deal with suffering when the disaster that caused it is no more than the dispassionate sum of utterly mundane, imperfect human decisions and technical failures? Broad in its historical sweep and ambition, The End of Heaven is also Dekker's most personal book to date.

    What if the world doesn’t have to be this way? 
    The Philosophy opens with the most human of questions—“What’s the point?”—and dares to follow it wherever it leads. This isn’t just another thought experiment or self-help book. It’s a rallying cry for those who feel the systems around us are broken, yet refuse to believe we are powerless to change them. 
    In a world driven by competition, inequality, and disconnection, The Philosophy is your invitation to radically rethink the game. With bold, practical strategies inspired by transformative ideas like Doughnut Economics and the empowering spirit of The Secret, Alex Kain delivers a deeply personal yet universal exploration of how we can build a society rooted in justice, equity, and shared well-being—not someday, but starting now. 
    Why You Can’t Afford to Miss This Opportunity 
    - It demystifies systemic failure—revealing how poverty, homelessness, and inequality aren’t inevitable but solvable when we treat root causes, not just symptoms. 
    - It reawakens agency—offering a counter-narrative to helplessness by showing how you can contribute meaningfully to lasting social transformation. 
    - It inspires collective ambition—moving beyond personal success to challenge how we measure value, power, and impact in our communities. 
    - It’s not just a book—it’s a blueprint for anyone who wants to live with purpose and be part of something bigger than themselves. 
    This is a manifesto for the change-makers, the questioners, the quietly dissatisfied, and the fiercely hopeful. The Philosophy hands you the lens—and the tools—to see and shape a more humane future. 
    It serves as a harbinger of what is possible if we choose the road less travelled vs continuing to stay the course. Moreover, The Philosophy is an opportunity for us to uncover the world we want to gift to the future. 
    What kind of world will you help create?

    What if the artist wasn’t a master of his craft—but a mouthpiece for something divine? 
    In Ion, Plato explores the nature of poetic inspiration in a lively exchange between Socrates and the rhapsode Ion. Ion claims mastery over Homer’s verses, but Socrates questions whether such talent comes from knowledge or from divine possession. 
    This modern translation brings Plato’s insight into the modern era, opening a timeless discussion about where creativity truly comes from—and what that means for artists, performers, and thinkers alike. 
    What you'll discover inside: 
    •	The Origins of Artistic Inspiration – Explore Plato’s view of creativity as divine madness 
    •	Socrates’ Challenge to Poetic Pride – Ion’s mastery is questioned by reason itself 
    •	Art, Prophecy, and the Irrational – Connect poetry to prophecy and the mysteries of the human mind 
    •	A Modern, Engaging Translation – Clear and accessible, with Plato’s irony and brilliance intact 
    Whether you’re a poet, philosopher, or curious mind, Ion will challenge how you understand genius—and where it comes from.
