The Apology - Enriched edition

Xenophon

Beschreibung

In "The Apology," Xenophon offers a profound defense of Socrates, exploring themes of virtue, justice, and the complexities of human morality. Written in a clear yet philosophical style, this work reflects the Socratic method, encouraging readers to engage in critical thought and self-examination. Set against the backdrop of Socratic thought in Ancient Greece, Xenophon's narrative sheds light on the societal perceptions of morality and virtue during a tumultuous period, marked by the Athenian trial of Socrates. The dialogues are structured to resemble an informed and reasoned defense, inviting discourse and reflection on the nature of ethics and the pursuit of knowledge. Xenophon, an esteemed student of Socrates and a contemporary of Plato, was deeply influenced by his mentor's teachings. His background as a soldier, historian, and philosopher shaped his perspectives on leadership, justice, and civic duty. Having witnessed firsthand the political upheaval of his time, Xenophon was motivated to preserve Socratic ideals, emphasizing the importance of individual moral responsibility and philosophical inquiry. "The Apology" is essential reading for those interested in philosophy, ethics, and the legacy of Socratic thought. It not only serves as an insightful defense of an enigmatic figure but also as a timeless exploration of the moral questions that resonate throughout human existence. Engage with Xenophon's articulate prose and allow it to spark introspection on the values that define us.

Lincoln - A Very Short Introduction

Allen C. Guelzo

Beneath the surface of the apparently untutored and deceptively frank Abraham Lincoln ran private tunnels of self-taught study, a restless philosophical curiosity, and a profound grasp of the fundamentals of democracy. Now, in Lincoln: A Very Short Introduction, the award-winning Lincoln authority Allen C. Guelzo offers a penetrating look into the mind of one of our greatest presidents. 
 
 
 
Guelzo takes us on a wide-ranging exploration of problems that confronted Lincoln and liberal democracy—equality, opportunity, the rule of law, slavery, freedom, peace, and his legacy. The Lincoln we meet here is an Enlightenment figure who struggled to create a common ground between a people focused on individual rights and a society eager to establish a certain moral, philosophical, and intellectual bedrock. Lincoln insisted that liberal democracy had a higher purpose, which was the realization of a morally right political order. But how to interject that sense of moral order into a system that values personal self-satisfaction—"the pursuit of happiness"—remains a fundamental dilemma even today. 
 
 
 
Guelzo paints a marvelous portrait of this Lincoln—Lincoln the man of ideas—providing new insights into one of the giants of American history.

Bigger Than Bernie - How We Go...

Anonym

Bernie Sanders's 2016 candidacy expanded the scope of political possibility in the United States, putting socialism and class politics back on the map. His radical campaign—not just for the Democratic presidential candidacy but against "the billionaire class"—helped catalyze other transformative left-wing politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to seek and win office, just as he inspired teachers from West Virginia to Los Angeles to win hard-fought, historic strike campaigns. Sanders has, in short, helped cohere a new movement in American politics. 
 
 
 
But even when coverage of Sanders takes stock of the sea change he has affected in American politics, it all too often fails to grasp what's unique about his approach. The senior senator from Vermont has demanded new policies and political approaches in this country—though he has also hinted at more, calling repeatedly for a "political revolution," something that he says would involve "millions of Americans" getting involved in politics not just at the ballot box, but in their workplaces and neighborhoods, too. 
 
 
 
In this book, Micah Uetricht and Meagan Day go beyond a simple balance sheet of Democratic Party politics. In a clear and effective style, they detail what we need to do to get beyond the Sanders campaign or presidency to transform the US from top to bottom.

She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer.
