Sinopsis

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.

    From the New York Times best-selling author of The Private Lives of the Impressionists comes the first account of the women who loved Picasso―and who shaped his work far more than previously acknowledged. 
     
    Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso’s life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. 
     
    In Hidden Portraits, acclaimed author Sue Roe reveals that their lives were―without exception―remarkable. They each pursued their own ambitions in dance, writing, painting, and more. All six overcame significant challenges, including Picasso’s subterfuges and betrayals as well as the wider social turbulence of their time. In bringing them to vivid life, Roe traces the extent to which each influenced Picasso’s work, from his sketches to masterpieces like Guernica. Spanning seventy years, from bohemian early-twentieth-century Montmartre to the glittering Riviera in the 1920s, and from Paris under Nazi occupation to Picasso’s death, and beyond, Hidden Portraits reclaims a set of brilliant women and in the process rewrites a vital chapter in the history of modern art.

    Sexism, a deeply entrenched social issue, has been pervasive throughout human history, shaping the experiences of individuals and communities across the globe. At its core, sexism refers to the belief that one gender is superior to another, typically manifesting in the unequal treatment and opportunities given to individuals based on their gender. While this issue affects all genders, it is most commonly seen in the discrimination against women and girls, who have been historically marginalized and denied the same rights and opportunities as their male counterparts. Understanding the complexities of sexism is essential to grasp the ongoing struggle for gender equality, a fight that has evolved over centuries and continues to be relevant today. 
    The importance of gender equality cannot be overstated. It is not only a matter of fairness and justice, but also a key component in building a more prosperous and harmonious society. Gender equality allows individuals to reach their full potential, irrespective of their gender, contributing to economic growth, social development, and personal fulfillment. When men, women, and non-binary individuals have equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and political representation, the entire community benefits. Yet, despite significant progress, gender inequality remains a persistent challenge in many areas of life, from the workplace to the family home, from education to politics.  
    This book explores the multifaceted nature of sexism and the ongoing battle for gender equality around the world. It examines the historical roots of sexism, the cultural and religious influences that perpetuate gender discrimination, and the role of feminist movements in challenging the status quo. It also delves into the modern-day manifestations of sexism, including the gender pay gap, barriers to education, and underrepresentation in leadership positions.

    Home Away Elsewhere

    A poetry collection in three parts. Home is events, situations, descriptions, and attitudes about Hong Kong, which is now Vaughan's home. Away contains poems about events, situations, descriptions, and attitudes about Aotearoa (New Zealand), in particular from a Maori (marginalised) perspective and also about all the other places where Vaughan has lived – The Republic of Nauru, Brunei Darussalam, The People's Republic of China, Australia, The United Arab Emirates (UAE), The Philippines. Elsewhere is emotions (the entire gamut), relationships (marriages, family, friends), deaths (parents, children), reflections – some wry, etcetera – not specifically tied to physical locations. Vaughan does not write to any set forms/formats but attempts to utilise type-face/shape/what a poem looks like on a page to reflect what he attempts to say. He writes to stay sane. "These poems express what I am, and what I also think people I see are, within. They are not mere academic or literary exercises. They are lived experiences, I guess." 
     Poems with attitude. … passionate, uncompromising and sardonic. …there is darkness here … also wit in abundance and a playfulness in language and thought … at times laugh-out-loud funny…. a compelling voice and Vaughan uses it skillfully to tell us his stories, make his often pungent points, and take us places few of us have seen. — James Norcliffe, Robert Burns Fellow (2000), Aotearoa-New Zealand. 
     These poems are pieces of an intricately interlinked multi-cultural and multi-lingual world, in which the poet must learn to live. In fact the poet relishes this confusing richness. His verses celebrate the graphic possibility of words, their visual appearance and sounds. So one must come to them with big eyes, big ears and a limitless imagination. — Muhammad Haji Salleh, National Laureate, Malaysia.
