Sinossi

In "Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary," the esteemed Enlightenment thinker critiques and examines a range of philosophical topics, from religion and morality to science and government. Employing a distinct literary style characterized by wit, irony, and eloquent prose, Voltaire's work serves as both a compendium of Enlightenment thought and a caustic commentary on societal norms. Each entry is infused with his trademark skepticism, encouraging readers to question established doctrines and consider alternative perspectives, ensuring that the text resonates within the broader context of 18th-century intellectual discourse. Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet, was a prolific writer, historian, and philosopher whose life experiences—marked by censorship, exile, and advocacy for civil liberties—shaped his critical perspective. His encounters with religious dogma and abuses of power fueled his desire to promote reason and tolerance. "Philosophical Dictionary" reflects his commitment to intellectual freedom and the examination of life's profound questions, reinforcing the values of the Age of Enlightenment and underscoring the importance of critical inquiry. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to engage deeply with the philosophical questions that define humanity. Voltaire's sharp insights and articulate arguments invite readers to reflect on their own beliefs and the world around them, making it a timeless resource for philosophy enthusiasts and students alike.

    Where Have I Been All My Life? is a compelling memoir recounting one woman’s journey through grief and a profound feeling of unworthiness to wholeness and healing. It begins with the chillingly sudden death of Rice’s mother, and is followed by her foray into the center of mourning. With wisdom, grace, and humor, Rice recounts the grief games she plays in an effort to resurrect her mother; her efforts to get her therapist, who she falls desperately in love with, to run away with her; and the transformation of her husband from fantasy man to ordinary guy to superhero. In the process, she experiences aching revelations about her family and her past―and realizes what she must leave behind, and what she can carry forward with her.

    EPICURUS and THE PLEASANT LIFE -...

    Welcome, seekers of truth! 
    This 619-page book intends to reintroduce pleasure as an innate guide to living a healthy and happy life—a simple yet powerful assertion based on empirical data, which stands up to the strictest scrutiny. 
    Along this journey, we will explore evidence throughout the historical evolution of philosophy up to the time of Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher who laid the foundations for a philosophy of nature. More specifically, it's the only philosophy that distinguishes pleasure as the inherent human guide to a healthy and happy life. 
    Author Haris Dimitriadis spent 15 years fervently researching the ancient Greek philosopher's teachings, a journey that he believes radically improved his worldview. In this detailed study, the author proposes that fear of pleasure characterizes contemporary society. Dimitriadis writes with open-hearted enthusiasm for his subject and believes that Epicurean philosophy has the power to change lives. With determination and perseverance, you too will find the happiness to which you are entitled. All the "goods" required for happiness are present in the natural world yet regularly overlooked or unappreciated. 
    This book is a labor of love, a vehicle by which to share my personal experience with you. Despite its technocratic nature, it is undeniably a deposition of my soul, brimming with emotion, pleasure, and pain throughout my quest for joy. I am pleased to present an empirically sound, well-documented philosophy of life that serves as a refreshing alternative to the prevailing idealistic culture. 
    And now, the caveat: happiness is indeed a choice. You are privileged to find it out through the lines of this book.

  • Safe Haven - The United Kingdom's Investigations into Nazi Collaborators and the Failure of Justice - cover

    Safe Haven - The United...

    The controversial 1991 War Crimes Act gave new powers to courts to try non-British citizens resident in the UK for war crimes committed during WWII. But in spite of the extensive investigative and legal work that followed, and the expense of some £11 million, it led to just one conviction: that in 1999 of Anthony (Andrzej) Sawoniuk. 
     
     
     
    Safe Haven considers for the first time why and how convictions failed to follow investigations. Within the broader context of war crimes investigations in the United States, Germany, and Australia, the authors reassess the legal and investigative processes and decisions that stymied inquiries, from the War Crimes Act itself to the restrictive criteria applied to it. Taken together, the authors argue that these—including the interpretations of who could and should be prosecuted and decisions about the nature and amount of evidence needed for trial—meant that many Nazi collaborators escaped justice and never appeared in a criminal court. 
     
     
     
    The authors situate this history within the legacy of the Holocaust: how, if at all, do the belated attempts to address a failure of justice sit with an ever-growing awareness of the Holocaust, represented by memorialization and education? In so doing, Safe Haven provokes a timely reconsideration of the relationship between law, history, and truth.
