Summary

In "The Five Great Philosophies of Life," William De Witt Hyde presents a compelling examination of the enduring philosophical frameworks that shape human existence. Through a meticulous blend of analytical rigor and lyrical prose, Hyde explores five seminal philosophies—Idealism, Realism, Pragmatism, and others—inviting readers to engage with these concepts not just intellectually, but in terms of their practical relevance. This text is situated within the American philosophical tradition of the early 20th century, serving as both a reflective inquiry and a guide for individuals seeking meaning in an increasingly complex world. Hyde, a prominent educator and thinker, draws upon his diverse experiences as a scholar and a theologian. His academic tenure at Bowdoin College and his exposure to both philosophical inquiry and the challenges of modern life inform his thoughtful critique of these philosophies. Hyde's commitment to synthesizing complex ideas into accessible language underscores his belief in the transformational power of philosophy for personal and societal growth, an ethos that resonates throughout this work. "The Five Great Philosophies of Life" is highly recommended for readers eager to deepen their understanding of philosophical thought and its implications for daily living. Its accessible yet profound discourse makes it a valuable resource for students, educators, and anyone in search of clarity in an era marked by uncertainty.

    It's time for America to get back in the international leadership game.

    A contemporary look at Albert Einstein's classic call for socialism 
 
 
 
First published more than seventy-five years ago in the inaugural issue of Monthly Review: An Independent Socialist Magazine, Albert Einstein's "Why Socialism?" is an unheralded classic. Written during the McCarthyite witch-hunt in the United States, it constituted an act of defiance, making a case for socialism unrivaled in its time or ours. Yet, its very existence has been an embarrassment to an establishment which has continually sought to downplay the significance of his iconoclastic essay, together with Einstein's socialism itself. 
 
 
 
This volume includes Einstein's essay along with a detailed commentary on his essay by Monthly Review editor, John Bellamy Foster. Foster's introduction tells the story of Einstein's life-long commitment to socialism and the events leading to the publication of "Why Socialism?" and contextualizes the importance of his essay as we enter a time of planetary crisis and new threats of world war. Over the three-quarters of century since its publication, "Why Socialism?" is one of those rare statements whose power has only grown, reaching untold numbers of readers over the years. It is of crucial importance that―for the sake of the future of humanity―Einstein's message continues to proliferate.

    THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones 
This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the 
former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. 
The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their 
use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their 
effectiveness. 
In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. 
The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, 
but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. 
Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact.

    The Crimean War was an army war between Russia and an alliance of France, the Ottoman Empire, the UK, and Sardinia that lasted from October 1853 to February 1856. The rights of Christian minority in Palestine, which became part of the Ottoman Empire, were the instant reason for the war. The rights of Roman Catholics were promoted by the French, while those of the Eastern Orthodox Church were promoted by Russia.Longer-term elements included the Ottoman Empire's fall, the Russian Empire's development at the time of the preceding Russo-Turkish Wars, and the British and French desire to safeguard the Ottoman Empire to maintain the Show of Europe's power balance. It has been commonly observed that the causes, that included a difference over a type in one case, never ever suggested a "bigger confusion of purpose" but instead caused a dispute well-known for its "infamously inexperienced worldwide butchery."Let’s learn more about this often-forgotten war.
