Sinopsis

In "Great Men, Great Thoughts, and The Environment," William James intricately weaves together philosophy and psychology to explore the interplay between individual agency and environmental influences on human thought and development. Through a nuanced literary style that effortlessly blends anecdotal evidence with philosophical discourse, James examines how the thoughts of remarkable individuals are shaped not only by their genius but also by the social and environmental contexts that surround them. The book is set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, a period ripe with intellectual exploration and social change, making it a vital contribution to both philosophical and psychological literature. William James, often referred to as the father of American psychology, was deeply influenced by his experiences in a rapidly evolving society. His interdisciplinary background, encompassing philosophy, psychology, and naturalism, informed his belief in pragmatism and the power of individual experience. As someone who grappled with his own existential inquiries and the complexities of the human psyche, James's insights in this work reflect his quest to understand how individuals navigate the constraints and opportunities presented by their environments. I highly recommend "Great Men, Great Thoughts, and The Environment" for readers interested in the intersections of individual thought and societal influence. This book serves as a crucial endeavor to comprehend the dynamics of greatness in an increasingly complex world, making it an essential read for scholars and philosophy enthusiasts alike.

    Soul of Goodness - Transform...

    Christopher Phillips has devoted his life to carrying the torch of Socrates and his quest to "Know Thyself." Yet upon the death of his beloved father and mentor, the originator of the burgeoning global Socrates Café movement had little choice but to confront the inescapable truth: that there are some things we cannot know for sure. This moving, insightful and ultimately hopeful and helpful blend of memoir and philosophical exploration begins in Phillips' native stomping grounds of the island of Nisyros, Greece and unfurls through space and time as the author explores the connections between his immediate circumstances and the eternal wisdom of popular philosophers. 
     
     
     
    In this personal and probing book, the acclaimed 'philosopher for the people' shares lessons gleaned from his intimate and often unexpected encounters with uncommonly perceptive human beings both living and long deceased. Along the way, he charts a pathway for sculpting what Shakespeare describes as a "soul of goodness," which meshes with Plato's paradigm-shattering conception of the "healthiness of soul." For those struggling to overcome the hopelessness that can result from grievous loss, setback, or betrayal, the author spotlights how to cultivate a 'Socratic spirit' that leads to renewed love, forbearance, and hope at the other end of the tunnel.

    Continuing his exploration of British history, Timothy Venning examines the turning points of the period from the death of William I to the reign of Edward III and a little beyond. He discusses the crucial junctions at which history could easily have taken a different turn and analyzes the possible results. While speculative, the scenarios are highly plausible and rooted in a firm understanding of actual events and their context. Venning gives listeners a clearer understanding of the factors at play and why things happened the way they did, as well as a tantalizing view of what might so easily have been different. 
     
     
     
    Key scenarios include: 
     
     
     
    ● The civil war of 1136-53, how either Stephen or Matilda might have won quick and the likely consequences. 
     
     
     
    ● What if Richard the Lionheart had not gone on Crusade, leaving the inept John to rule in his place? Could the English (Angevin) Empire in France have been saved? What if that fatal crossbow bolt had missed Richard in 1199, sparing him an early death? 
     
     
     
    ● What if Edward I's riding accident in 1294 had been fatal, leaving Edward II to succeed at ten years of age? 
     
     
     
    ● A whole chapter with scenarios surrounding the Scottish kings.

    Histories of Racial Capitalism

    The relationship between race and capitalism is one of the most enduring and controversial historical debates. The concept of racial capitalism offers a way out of this impasse. Racial capitalism is not simply a permutation, phase, or stage in the larger history of capitalism—since the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade and the colonization of the Americas, capitalism, in both material and ideological senses, has been racial, deriving social and economic value from racial classification and stratification. Although Cedric J. Robinson popularized the term, racial capitalism has remained undertheorized for nearly four decades. 
     
     
     
    Histories of Racial Capitalism brings together for the first time distinguished and rising scholars to consider the utility of the concept across historical settings. These scholars offer dynamic accounts of the relationship between social relations of exploitation and the racial terms through which they were organized, justified, and contested. Throughout, the contributors consider and challenge how some claims about the history and nature of capitalism are universalized while others remain marginalized. By theorizing and testing the concept of racial capitalism in different historical circumstances, this book shows its analytical and political power for today's scholars and activists.
