Beschreibung

In "The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates," Xenophon presents a series of dialogues that capture the essence of Socratic philosophy, revealing the profound ethical and practical wisdom of Socrates. Unlike Plato's more dramatic portrayals, Xenophon adopts a straightforward narrative style, emphasizing clarity and accessibility while embedding deeper philosophical inquiry within everyday conversations. This work serves as both a companion piece to Plato's dialogues and a standalone exploration of Socratic thought, addressing themes such as virtue, education, and the nature of the good life, all framed through Socrates' distinctive method of questioning and dialogue. Xenophon, an Athenian historian and philosopher, was a student of Socrates who later became a general and a prominent figure in the ancient Greek world. His experiences in the tumultuous political landscape of Greece, combined with personal encounters with Socratic teachings, informed his perspectives on leadership, ethics, and the nature of knowledge. Recognized for his clear prose and practical insights, Xenophon offers a unique portrayal of Socrates that complements the more idealized depiction found in other philosophical texts. I highly recommend "The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates" for anyone interested in ancient philosophy, ethics, or the foundations of Western thought. Xenophon's work not only illuminates Socratic wisdom but also invites readers to engage in their own reflective practice on the nature of morality and personal conduct in contemporary society.

    Mary Eberstadt, “one of the most acute and creative social observers of our time,” (Francis Fukuyama) shines a much-needed spotlight on a disturbing trend in American society: discrimination against traditional religious belief and believers, who are being aggressively pushed out of public life by the concerted efforts of militant secularists. 
    In It’s Dangerous to Believe, Mary Eberstadt documents how people of faith—especially Christians who adhere to traditional religious beliefs—face widespread discrimination in today’s increasingly secular society. Eberstadt details how recent laws, court decisions, and intimidation on campuses and elsewhere threaten believers who fear losing their jobs, their communities, and their basic freedoms solely because of their convictions. They fear that their religious universities and colleges will capitulate to aggressive secularist demands. They fear that they and their families will be ostracized or will have to lose their religion because of mounting social and financial penalties for believing. They fear they won’t be able to maintain charitable operations that help the sick and feed the hungry. 
    Is this what we want for our country? 
    Religious freedom is a fundamental right, enshrined in the First Amendment. With It’s Dangerous to Believe Eberstadt calls attention to this growing bigotry and seeks to open the minds of secular liberals whose otherwise good intentions are transforming them into modern inquisitors. Not until these progressives live up to their own standards of tolerance and diversity, she reminds us, can we build the inclusive society America was meant to be.

    The L where a tabletop meets the legs, the T between double doors, the D of an armchair's oval backrest—all around us is an alphabet in things. But how did these shapes make it onto the page, never mind form complex structures such as this sentence? In The Greatest Invention, Silvia Ferrara takes a profound look at how—and how many times—human beings have managed to produce the miracle of written language, traveling back and forth in time and all across the globe to Mesopotamia, Crete, China, Egypt, Central America, Easter Island, and beyond. 
     
     
     
    With Ferrara as our guide, we examine the enigmas of undeciphered scripts, including famous cases like the Phaistos Disk and the Voynich Manuscript; we touch the knotted, colored strings of the Inca quipu; we study the turtle shells and ox scapulae that bear the earliest Chinese inscriptions; we watch in awe as Sequoyah single-handedly invents a script for the Cherokee language; and we venture to the cutting edge of decipherment, in which high-powered laser scanners bring tears to an engineer's eye. 
     
     
     
    A code-cracking tour around the globe, The Greatest Invention chronicles a previously uncharted journey, one filled with past flashes of brilliance, present-day scientific research, and a faint, fleeting glimpse of writing's future.

    Does the mind-body entanglement puzzle follow the scientific laws of our time? This book brings forth a revolutionary concept of a subtle crude entity to explain the expression of mind in the biological system. 
    It describes how this entity may link propensities, polarities, and the process of viral invasion to our ever-emerging thought process. The subtle liaison between protozoic, metazoic and unit mind, through a unified command, is proposed to control the biochemical events at the molecular level. The book advances an intuitive rationalization mode of mind to sustain the sentient values against the stationary platform, through reversible order. The role of self-created intuitive reasoning would, silently, propel the reader from chaos in to a sublime, higher order living.
