Summary

In 'The Satires of Juvenal, Persius, Sulpicia, and Lucilius,' readers are invited to journey through the rich tapestry of Roman satire, a genre that has shaped the contours of literary expression since antiquity. This anthology presents a striking array of works that capture the wit, irony, and critical eye turned towards society by these storied authors. From Persius's biting observations to the ribald humor found in Lucilius, the collection shines a light on the diversity of style and subject matter in Roman satirical literature, all while offering cohesive thematic explorations of power, morality, and societal vices. The contributing satirists'ÄîPersius, Gaius Lucilius, Juvenal, and the enigmatic Sulpicia'Äîrepresent a cross-section of Roman thought that spans the tumultuous milieu of the late Republic and early Empire. Each author brings forth unique perspectives forged by their individual contexts and styles, yet together they form a chorus that transcends their era. This collection not only navigates the intersections between history, culture, and literature but also aligns with the impulses of Stoicism, Cynicism, and even proto-feminism, as seen through Sulpicia's contributions. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of classical literature, this anthology offers a significant opportunity to engage with a multifaceted dialogue that echoes across centuries. 'The Satires of Juvenal, Persius, Sulpicia, and Lucilius' encourages readers to explore the genre's enduring commentary on human folly and virtue, drawing connections between ancient and modern narratives. It serves as a doorway into a special literary realm where satire's keen lens scrutinizes both the mundane and the monumental, enriching our understanding of the world yesterday and today.

René Descartes - Rationalism and...

Hector Davidson

René Descartes, often regarded as the father of modern philosophy, revolutionized the intellectual landscape of the seventeenth century. His groundbreaking ideas in mathematics, metaphysics, and epistemology laid the foundation for a new way of thinking, challenging the dominance of Aristotelian scholasticism. Born in 1596 in La Haye en Touraine, France, Descartes displayed an early aptitude for learning. He was educated at the Jesuit College of La Flèche, where he received a rigorous grounding in classical philosophy and mathematics. However, dissatisfied with the prevailing methods of acquiring knowledge, he sought a more systematic and rational approach, leading to his development of the Method of Doubt.
Descartes' intellectual pursuits extended beyond philosophy. His contributions to mathematics were equally significant, particularly in the creation of Cartesian geometry, which established a link between algebra and geometry through the use of coordinate planes. This innovation became a cornerstone of modern mathematics and physics, influencing generations of scientists. His emphasis on deduction and reason over mere observation shaped the trajectory of scientific inquiry, reinforcing the idea that true knowledge must be derived from fundamental principles.
His most famous philosophical work, Meditations on First Philosophy, published in 1641, sought to establish an unshakable foundation for human knowledge. In this work, he introduced the concept of radical skepticism, questioning the reliability of sensory perception and challenging assumptions about reality. Through this process, he arrived at his famous conclusion, "Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am), which he considered the first indubitable truth. From this foundation, Descartes attempted to prove the existence of God and the distinction between mind and body, a theory known as Cartesian dualism.

From High Tech to Higher Education

Steven Mayer

When Steve Mayer and his colleagues began their careers in technology, they explored new ideas "with the knowledge that they were going to fail." This might sound like anything but a recipe for success, but it gave the young inventors freedom to try anything and everything. In the process, they created the world's first video games, and also spawned new concepts in business development, marketing, and education.
