 The Shining Sea by Kōji Suzuki, translated by Brian Bergstrom English | July 26, 2022 | ISBN: 1647291186 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 1.7 MB IS HOPE ITSELF THE ONLY ANSWER?  The Shape of the Roman Order: The Republic and Its Spaces (Studies in the History of Greece and Rome) by Daniel J. Gargola English | March 6, 2017 | ISBN: 1469631822, 146966870X | True EPUB | 304 pages | 3.2 MB In recent years, a long-established view of the Roman Empire during its great age of expansion has been called into question by scholars who contend that this model has made Rome appear too much like a modern state. This is especially true in terms of understanding how the Roman government ordered the city-and the world around it-geographically. In this innovative, systematic approach, Daniel J. Gargola demonstrates how important the concept of space was to the governance of Rome. He explains how Roman rulers, without the means for making detailed maps, conceptualized the territories under Rome's power as a set of concentric zones surrounding the city. In exploring these geographic zones and analyzing how their magistrates performed their duties, Gargola examines the idiosyncratic way the elite made sense of the world around them and how it fundamentally informed the way they ruled over their dominion.
 The Self-immolation of Oskar Brüsewitz Compared to Other Suicides Committed as a Political Protest By Malgorzata Czabanska-Rosada, Adam Czabanski 2018 | 150 Pages | ISBN: 363167421X | PDF | 11 MB This book studies the phenomenon of altruistic suicide which was a form of political protest. The authors investigate the self-immolation of German pastor Oskar Brüsewitz and compare it with other politically motivated suicides. They portray both life and pastoral activity of Brüsewitz and analyse the motives of his suicide. Furthermore, they evaluate the judgement of this tragic event by confreres in faith and other witnesses. Besides the thorough analysis of Oskar Brüsewitz's case, the book inspects the genesis of self-immolation and locates it in the tradition of Buddhism and Hinduism. It depicts cases of self-immolations in Vietnam, the USA, India, Tibet, China, Iran, and particularly in Middle-Eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Poland and Lithuania). The analysis also covers cases of self-immolations that occurred during the Arab Spring (2011-2012) and in Bulgaria in 2013.

 The Rhetoric of Plato's Republic: Democracy and the Philosophical Problem of Persuasion by James L. Kastely English | August 25, 2015 | ISBN: 022627862X | True EPUB | 280 pages | 1 MB Plato isn't exactly thought of as a champion of democracy, and perhaps even less as an important rhetorical theorist. In this book, James L. Kastely recasts Plato in just these lights, offering a vivid new reading of one of Plato's most important works: the Republic. At heart, Kastely demonstrates, the Republic is a democratic epic poem and pioneering work in rhetorical theory. Examining issues of justice, communication, persuasion, and audience, he uncovers a seedbed of theoretical ideas that resonate all the way up to our contemporary democratic practices. |
