Sinopse

In "Philosophy and the Social Problem," Will Durant explores the intricate interplay between philosophical thought and societal challenges, presenting a discourse that integrates theories of ethics, government, and human nature. Written during the tumultuous backdrop of the early 20th century, Durant's prose combines accessible language with profound insights, engaging readers from diverse backgrounds. The book reflects the intellectual climate of its time, addressing issues such as economic disparity and the quest for social justice while drawing upon the wisdom of historical philosophers to propose potential solutions to contemporary dilemmas. Will Durant, a prominent philosopher and historian, co-authored the celebrated "The Story of Civilization" with his wife, Ariel. His dedication to demystifying complex ideas and rendering philosophy relatable was influenced by his passion for education and clarity in communication. Durant's own experiences in a rapidly changing society fueled his desire to confront the social issues of his time, culminating in this pivotal work that strives to marry philosophical inquiry with practical social reform. "Philosophy and the Social Problem" is highly recommended for readers seeking a thoughtful examination of the philosophical underpinnings of social issues. Durant's ability to synthesize vast historical knowledge with pressing contemporary concerns renders this work invaluable for students, educators, and activists alike, encouraging critical reflection and inspired action within modern society.

    Political corruption is a pervasive issue that has existed for centuries, shaping the course of governments and societies worldwide. It manifests in various forms, from bribery and fraud to nepotism and abuse of power. Regardless of the system of governance, corruption erodes trust, distorts policies, and undermines democratic principles. While many assume corruption is limited to authoritarian regimes, it is also deeply embedded in democratic institutions, where influence and money often dictate political decisions.  
      
    The roots of corruption can be traced back to the earliest civilizations, where leaders sought personal gain at the expense of their people. Throughout history, political scandals have exposed the extent of corruption within governments, from financial embezzlement to electoral fraud. These cases serve as stark reminders of how unchecked power can lead to widespread deception and exploitation. Corruption is not only a moral failure but a structural issue that allows those in power to manipulate systems designed to serve the public.  
      
    Beyond historical examples, the impact of corruption is far-reaching. It weakens economies by diverting public funds into private hands, leaving essential services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure underfunded. It fuels inequality, as the wealthy and well-connected benefit from corrupt dealings while the average citizen suffers. When corruption becomes the norm, public trust in institutions erodes, leading to political apathy, civil unrest, and, in extreme cases, the collapse of governments.

    Neville Goddard (1905 - 1972) was a teacher, author and lecturer. He was born in St. Michael, Barbados, and came to the US in 1922 to study drama and dance. While touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics. After his return to New York he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. While living in Los Angeles in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio. In his lectures and books Neville dealt with what he called "The Law" and "The Promise." These relate to the method of creating one's physical reality through imagining, and is similar to the teachings of the New Thought movement. This public lecture is about beliefs, knowing, and other mystical topics.

    Few stories of shipwreck and survival can equal that of the 16th century Spaniard Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca who, cast ashore near present day (USA) Tampa Bay, Florida, in 1528, survived eight years of hand-to-mouth existence among the Indians of the South and Southwest, and who walked on foot across the plains to the Pacific Coast, arriving in Mexico in 1536. In 1542 he published an account of his adventures, and the present reading is based on Fanny Bandelier’s English translation of that text.Cabeza de Vaca, along with three other survivors, two Spaniards and a North African (Estévanico, a black slave) endured incredible hardships. Cabeza da Vaca was, himself, at first enslaved by the Indians, forced to dig roots with his bare hands for food. However, he soon showed powers of adaptation that allowed him to survive. He became a trader, bartering “seashells and cockles” from the coast for hides, red ochre, flint, and deer hair tassels from the inland tribes. “Trade suited me well,” he writes, “because it gave me liberty to go where I pleased.” The Indians “rejoiced greatly when seeing me and I would bring them what they needed, and those who did not know me would desire and endeavor to meet me for sake of my fame.” Cabeza de Vaca’s “fame” soon grew to include a reputation as a healer. In return for his “cures,” the Indians gave him “all that they had,” which included food, often in perilously short supply.The success of the survivors’ final overland treck in search of Spanish settlement reflected their comprehension of Indian customs and values. They were passed along from one tribe to another, accompanied by an ontourage of friendly natives. At each stop, Cabeza de Vaca saw to it that the food and presents he received were distributed to his followers by their chiefs, thus ensuring their loyalty.After eight years among the Indians, Cabeza de Vaca had a hard time adjusting to “civilization.” He writes that the Spanish governor in Mexico “received us very well, giving us what he had, for us to dress in; but for many days I could bear no clothing, nor could we sleep except on the bare floor.” His first person narrative is an exciting tale of survival “against the odds.”(Introduction by Sue Anderson)
