Rereading Ancient Philosophy
Author: Verity Harte
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110816885X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
This book revisits, and sheds fresh light on, some key texts and debates in ancient philosophy. Its twin targets are 'Old Chestnuts' – well-known passages in the works of ancient philosophers about which one might have thought everything there is to say has already been said – and 'Sacred Cows' – views about what ancient philosophers thought, on issues of philosophical importance, that have attained the status of near-unquestioned orthodoxy. Thirteen leading scholars respond to these challenges by offering new perspectives on familiar material and challenging some prevailing orthodoxies. On authors ranging from the Presocratics to Plotinus, the book represents a snapshot of contemporary scholarship in ancient philosophy, and a vigorous and illuminating affirmation of its continuing interest and power. The volume is dedicated to Professor M. M. McCabe, an inspiring scholar and teacher, colleague and friend to both the editors and the contributors.

Book Description
*INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *INSTANT #1 INDIE BESTSELLER* *INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER* *A REESE'S YA BOOK CLUB PICK* "Schwartz's magical novel is at once gripping and tender, and the intricate plot is engrossing as the reader tries to solve the mystery. She doesn't miss a beat in either the characterization or action, scattering clues with a delicate, precise hand. This is, in the end, the story of the anatomy of the human heart." - Booklist (starred review) Dana Schwartz’s Anatomy: A Love Story is a gothic tale full of mystery and romance. Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry. Jack Currer is a resurrection man who’s just trying to survive in a city where it’s too easy to die. When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist’s Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham’s lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought. Because Hazel has made a deal with Dr. Beecham: if she can pass the medical examination on her own, Beecham will allow her to continue her medical career. Without official lessons, though, Hazel will need more than just her books—she’ll need corpses to study. Lucky that she’s made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living. But Jack has his own problems: strange men have been seen skulking around cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets, and the dreaded Roman Fever, which wiped out thousands a few years ago, is back with a vengeance. Nobody important cares—until Hazel. Now, Hazel and Jack must work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society.

Aging: an Encyclopedia for Adding Years to Your Life and Life to Your Years
Author: Arthur F. Beringause
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462833128
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
As the number of old persons increases dramatically, information is the one thing both the young who are trying to take care of the old and the elderly who are trying to take care of themselves need to assuage concerns and solve problems that advancing years bring. Like their young counterparts, the old know shockingly little about care and upkeep, not only of the automobile, but more important of the human body. Aging: An Encyclopedia concretely and accurately summarizes the latest research in geriatrics and gerontology while presenting strategies for adding years to your life and life to your years. Not just basic questions are answered, such as those involving the onset of cancer, but also seemingly peripheral ones, such as descriptions of government and non-profit agencies that can be reached for information and help. Included are practical aids, such as checklists for choosing a nursing home, a doctor, a financial planner. Theory and application are kept separate. Avoided are false hopes and sensationalism too often found in news coverage of aging. Only solutions to problems of aging which are medically sound and applicable to everyday life are dealt with. This volume does not pretend to state or to answer every question that at present can be raised concerning aging. There is no attempt at simple solutions to complex problems. The intention is that enough information be included to support and exemplify statements made. Although I am immensely indebted to the many researchers upon whose work I have leaned so heavily, there are few footnotes, acknowledgements and attributions in the text, for the attempt here is to bring out essentials clearly without scholarly encumbrances, such as raised numbers trailed by sets of dots. A guidebook, this volume is easy to use and small enough to be carried everywhere. The format is designed as a reference to be consulted for particular concerns. Essays are organized in more than 80 topics arranged alphabetically. Entries are self-contained, so that a reader can start anywhere. Where it is possible to retain accuracy, language familiar to lay people has been substituted for scientific jargon. Technical terms are explained in the glossary at the end of the volume. For more in-depth information, articles and books are cited in the bibliography and in particular areas although it is wise to remember that publishers and organizations are continually revising or bringing out new writings to reflect research with the most recent data and discoveries.

GRADUATE SCHOOL
Author: John L. Bowman
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1491814160
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Graduate School is a memoir about an older person returning to school. It is about new beginnings, changing a way of living and adventurously pursuing a life passion by studying philosophy. It is about the struggle to get into graduate school, the challenges of learning again, the excitement of a fresh start in life and the happiness derived from studying the ancient philosophy of Stoicism. This is also a book about higher education in America today written through the lens of one who had experienced much of life—who has navigated the rough and tumble real world and entered an academic surreal world. This memoir evaluates controversial topics like feminism, socialism and liberal academic biases based on experience. In many ways, academia is an idealistic, make-believe cocoon. This book is also about those that inhabitant this world. It describes professors with liberal agendas, professors struggling to inculcate learning and idealistic professors endeavoring to impart knowledge. It is also about the college students and those who live at the periphery of academia. Foremost, this book is about ideas. It describes a student’s descent into the philosophies of free will, determinism, art and morality, theories of the mind, Stoicism and ancient history. A few redacted papers are included to illustrate the author’s ignorance, issues in graduate school and difficult ideas and concepts to master. One paper, for example, compares the decline of Ancient Rome with the decline of America today. While this book offers insights into many facets of graduate school, the central topic is how to achieve happiness in life. Some of its most important messages are that it is never too late to learn, that we compete against ourselves and not others and to always live life to its fullest, aim further than your reach and live life now because it is all we have.
