Synopsis

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.

    One of the most famous people in the world came to tour the city of Paris for the first time on June 28, 1940. Over the next three hours, he rode through the city’s streets, stopping to tour L’Opéra Paris. He rode down the Champs-Élysées toward the Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower, where he had his picture taken. After passing through the Arc de Triomphe, he toured the Pantheon and old medieval churches, though he did not manage to see the Louvre or the Palace of Justice. Heading back to the airport, he told his staff, “It was the dream of my life to be permitted to see Paris. I cannot say how happy I am to have that dream fulfilled today.” 
    Four years after his tour, Adolf Hitler would order the city’s garrison commander, General Dietrich von Choltitz, to destroy Paris, warning his subordinate that the city "must not fall into the enemy's hand except lying in complete debris." Of course, Paris was not destroyed before the Allies liberated it, but it would take more than 4 years for them to wrest control of France from Nazi Germany after they took the country by storm in about a month in 1940. That said, it’s widely overlooked today given how history played out that as the power of Nazi Germany grew alarmingly during the 1930s, the French sought means to defend their territory against the rising menace of the Thousand-Year Reich. As architects of the most punitive measures in the Treaty of Versailles following World War I, France was a natural target for Teutonic retribution, so the Maginot Line, a series of interconnected strongpoints and fortifications running along much of France's eastern border, helped allay French fears of invasion. 
    The French had not expected the Germans would be able to move armored units through the Ardennes Forests, a heavily wooded region spanning parts of Belgium, France and the Netherlands. To the Allies’ great surprise, the Germans had no trouble rolling across these lands in the span of weeks.

    Forget Every "Black" book you ever read; this Book is NOT "your black" book!This is the story of a first time author, who calls himself "Uncle Meshorn", as he debunks every label by which "uncle sam" has branded him with, including "uncle tom"!If MeShorn is NOT "your black", America, then who is he? 
    As soon as you think you can "box" MeShorn into "one of yours", you will have to embarrassingly pull him out, as you read the next chapter!Yet, this book is not just about who he is, rather who you are.His story will force you to, grudgingly "pull yourself" out of boxes or labels, America has imprisoned you inside, in the name of culture, diversity, community and patriotism! 
    This book is intelligent but is not written by an intellectual.At heart, it is the cry of a child who severely doubted his identity, after being dragged through the muddy life of his gods: his parents, foster parents, and uncles.As an adult, Meshorn had to wake up to the reality of the community he was raised in, "...The search for identity has alienated them from their true selves; the search for roots has UPROOTED them; the search for a 'colored' God has made them GODLESS." 
    As a US Army Officer, in his travels, he discovered that America in search of an identity, likewise, has sold its soul, in exchange for nostalgia of a supposed greatness in the past.He does not believe that America was great or is great, but he can see clearly now that it can become as great as it wants to be.And the only way to become great is to never reply as Cain did when he was asked, "Where is your brother? ... "Am I my brother's keeper?!"
