Sinossi

In "The Old Humanities and the New Science," William Osler masterfully interweaves the worlds of the classical humanities with the burgeoning field of modern science. Through a series of eloquent essays, Osler engages with the philosophical underpinnings of medicine, emphasizing a holistic approach that values both the scientific method and the humanistic tradition. His literary style is characterized by rich narratives and insightful reflections, situated in a context where the turn of the 20th century witnessed an evolving understanding of medical practice, embodying a synthesis of knowledge that transcends mere empirical observation. William Osler, a revered physician and founding professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University, was instrumental in shaping contemporary medical education. His extensive background in both the humanities and the sciences endowed him with a unique perspective that informs this work. Osler's commitment to a broadened understanding of medicine was motivated by his belief in the importance of empathy and ethical responsibility, bridging the gap between the art of medicine and scientific inquiry. Readers seeking an enriching exploration of the interconnectedness of humanities and science will find Osler's essays both thought-provoking and inspiring. This book not only serves as a compelling invitation to reflect on the human aspects of medicine but also stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of integrating diverse fields of knowledge in an increasingly specialized world.

    In this thought-provoking dialogue, Mark Twain strips away illusions about free will, morality, and the nature of human behavior. Presented as a sharp exchange between a young idealist and a seasoned philosopher, What Is Man? challenges cherished beliefs, probing whether humans are truly autonomous or simply products of their training, environment, and inherent machinery. 
    Witty, uncompromising, and intellectually bracing, Twain’s work pushes listeners to question their assumptions about themselves and others. This unflinching philosophical conversation reveals a side of Twain rarely seen—one that’s as incisive as it is unsettling. 
    Perfect for fans of classic literature, moral philosophy, and fearless inquiry, this audiobook offers a timeless exploration of what it really means to be human.

    “We're all just walking each other home.” 
     
    “The quieter you become, the more you can hear.” 
     
    “We're fascinated by the words--but where we meet is in the silence behind them.” 
     
    “It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.” 
    ― Ram Dass 
     
    Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the 1960s. Thereafter, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s' iconic book Be Here Now turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all. 
     
    Author Sripad Jagannatha Dasa became friends with Ram Das in the early '70s and traveled across America, playing Indian drums at his speaking engagements. During that time, the two discussed the publication of some of his lectures, but nothing was ever done, and the two lost touch. Now, finally, after all these years, Jagannatha Dasa keeps his promise to his old friend, publishing this original audio history of one of our most inspired and cherished spiritual teachers.

    By the time Christopher Columbus started setting east from the New World, he had explored San Salvador in the Bahamas (which he thought was Japan), Cuba (which he thought was China), and Hispaniola, the source of gold. As the common story goes, Columbus, en route back to Spain from his first journey, called in at Lisbon as a courtesy to brief the Portuguese King John II of his discovery of the New World. King John subsequently protested that according to the 1479 Treaty of Alcáçovas, which divided the Atlantic Ocean between Spanish and Portuguese spheres of influence, the newly discovered lands rightly belonged to Portugal. To make clear the point, a Portuguese fleet was authorized and dispatched west from the Tagus to lay claim to the “Indies,” which prompted a flurry of diplomatic activity in the court of Ferdinand and Isabella. At the time, Spain lacked the naval power to prevent Portugal from acting on this threat, and the result was the hugely influential 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas. 
    The Treaty of Tordesillas was one of the most important documents of its kind of the age, for it established the essential parameters of the two competing empires, the first of the major European imperial entities. The Treaty of Tordesillas drew an imaginary line from pole to pole, running 100 leagues west of the westernmost islands of the Azores. According to the terms of a supporting papal bull, all the lands to the west of that belonged to Spain, and all of those to the east belonged to Portugal. What this meant in practical terms was that Portugal was given Africa and the Indian Ocean while Spain was granted all the lands to the west, including the Americas and the Caribbean, all collectively known as the “Indies,” or the New World. 
    Perhaps inevitably, a regional rivalry had developed as the Portuguese began to establish a colony in Brazil and push its boundaries southwards.
