We Permeate into the Zhuangzi

Zhuang Zhuangzi

Sinopse

Zhuang Zhou, commonly known as Zhuangzi, is born in Meng in the state of Song during the Warring States period. Meng is currently located in the north of Sang-gu, Hanam Province. The survival date is approximately 369-286 BC. It is the era of King Hui of the Yang dynasty and King Seon of the Qi dynasty. After working as a manager at Chilwon for a while, he does not hold a post for the rest of his life. He devotes himself to writing while interacting with the prime ministers of the time. In a turbulent and unstable time, he looks at the world with Taoism. Ideas that stray from reality have a great influence on Chinese culture. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang canonizes the Zhuangzi as one of the Chinese classics and awards it the honorific title ‘True Scripture of Southern Florescence’. Zen Buddhism of the Tang dynasty blossoms with the philosophy of Zhuangzi. It is said that the Zhuangzi originally consisted of fifty-two sections, but only thirty-three sections by Guo Xiang(AD.252-312) are reported. Guo Xiang of the Northern Song Dynasty divides into seven sections called ‘inner chapters’, fifteen sections called ‘outer chapters’, and eleven sections called ‘miscellaneous chapters’. The ‘inner chapters’ are descriptive of the theme of the chapter as a whole and regarded as the pure Zhuangzi. The ‘outer and miscellaneous chapters’ are the details of the disciples. There is a saying that the Zhuangzi is the commentary of Lao tzu, but it is an excessive denunciation. The Huainanzi, an ancient Chinese text, treats Lao tzu and Zhuangzi Philosophy as a unique thought within a philosophical system. Zhuangzi interprets the Tao proposed by Lao tzu in the form of a story in a new way. He embodies Lao tzu's ideas, awakening the Great Integrity.

Swift Blaze of Fire - The Life...

Lin Clark

 Celebrated in song by Christy Moore and affectionately recalled in many memoirs, Robert "Bob" Hilliard, the author's grandfather, is one of Ireland's best-known International Brigadistas. His short life blazed with a rare intensity; his death in Spain left a dark shadow hanging over his family. This book unravels Hilliard's enigmas to bring us an absorbing character and a fresh understanding of the times that shaped him.  
 Hilliard was radicalised at school by the Irish revolution. Variously a journalist, an Olympic boxer for Ireland and a Church of Ireland priest, he became a communist and anti-fascist in London, fought with the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War and died of wounds sustained at the Battle of Jarama. Eloquent and colourful, he inspires puzzlement as well as admiration. Why was his life so full of contradictions? One question haunted the author's mother: how could he leave his children?  
 Lin Rose Clark sets out to find answers. Through meticulous research and a deeply personal exploration of her family's past, she brings together an engrossing picture of the man and a tale of flawed romance, passionate commitment and war, portraying Hilliard as part of a turbulent history that still reverberates today.

Child Soldiers - The Tragic...

Marcus Kline

The use of child soldiers in armed conflicts represents one of the most tragic and pervasive human rights violations of our time. Children, often as young as eight or nine, are forcibly recruited or manipulated into participating in violent wars, often by rebel groups or government forces. These young individuals, deprived of their innocence and forced to endure unimaginable hardships, are exploited in ways that not only strip them of their childhoods but also leave lasting scars on their bodies, minds, and spirits.
Across the world, from Africa to Asia and Latin America, countless children are caught in the crossfire of conflicts they did not cause and cannot escape. In some cases, they are coerced into combat, while in others, they are used as spies, messengers, or even sex slaves. The armed groups that recruit them often promise protection, a sense of belonging, or even power, but in reality, these promises are hollow. The children are left to survive in brutal conditions, with little support or hope for a future beyond the war.
The impact of this exploitation is not confined to the battlefield. The psychological trauma experienced by child soldiers is profound, with many carrying the weight of their experiences throughout their lives. Victims often struggle with severe emotional issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. In addition to these mental health challenges, the physical toll of war—ranging from injuries sustained in combat to malnutrition and disease—further complicates their ability to recover.

The Last Kings of Macedonia and...

Ian Worthington

In the history of ancient Macedonia, the last three Antigonid kings—Philip V, his son Perseus, and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI—are commonly overlooked in favor of their predecessors Philip II and his son Alexander the Great, who established a Macedonian empire. By the time Philip V became king, Macedonia was no longer an imperial power and Rome was fast spreading its dominance over the Mediterranean. Viewed as postscripts to the kingdom's heyday, the last Macedonian kings are often denounced for self-serving ambitions, flawed policies, and questionable personal qualities by hostile ancient writers. They are condemned for defeats by Rome that saw both the end of the monarchy and the fall of the formidable Macedonian phalanx before the Roman legion. 
 
 
 
Producing the first full-scale treatment of Philip V in eighty years and the first in English of Perseus and Andriscus in more than fifty, Ian Worthington argues that this period was far from a postscript to Macedonia's Classical greatness and disagrees that the last Antigonid kings were merely collateral damage in Rome's ascendancy in the east. Despite superior Roman manpower and resources, Philip and Perseus often had the upper hand in their wars against Rome. As Worthington asserts, these kings deserve to be remembered for striving to preserve their kingdom's independence against staggering odds.
