Sinopsis

In "Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato," Thomas Taylor expertly navigates the complex terrain of Platonic thought, elucidating the foundational concepts and dialogues that have shaped Western philosophy. Taylor employs a didactic literary style, combining rigorous analysis with accessible prose that invites both scholars and lay readers alike into the intricacies of Plato's ideas. His contextualization of Plato within the broader framework of Ancient Greek philosophy reveals both the interconnectedness of philosophical thought and the relevance of Platonic ideals in contemporary discourse. Through meticulous examination of dialogues such as "The Republic" and "Phaedrus," Taylor offers insight into the allegorical subtleties and metaphysical underpinnings of Plato's work. Thomas Taylor, renowned as one of the foremost Neoplatonist philosophers and translators in the early 19th century, was greatly influenced by both classical thought and mystical philosophy. His extensive background in Ancient Greek literature and dedication to reviving Platonic texts positioned him uniquely to provide readers with a richly informed perspective on Plato's philosophies. This work reflects Taylor's passion for uncovering the spiritual dimensions of Plato's dialogues, which resonates with his own philosophical inquiries. I highly recommend "Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato" to anyone interested in the enduring legacy of Platonic thought. Whether you are a seasoned philosopher seeking a deeper understanding or a newcomer curious about the origins of Western philosophy, Taylor's comprehensive guide will illuminate the nuances of Plato's writings and inspire further exploration into the philosophical dialogue that continues to shape our world.

    Hemingway on Love

    Love was a central theme of Ernest Hemingway’s major works. And although his passages on sexual love and on romantic love may be widely remembered and frequently quoted, says Robert W. Lewis in this scholarly and detailed consideration, Hemingway’s later work revealed his ultimate belief that brotherly love was the supreme love of mankind. Eros, Hemingway concluded, was a neutral value, neither good nor bad in itself, but yet capable of complementing agape in giving man pleasure. By examining the forms and essences of the various kinds of love, Hemingway worked out an explanation and tentative solution to the troubles of the human condition. The tradition of romantic love that had prevailed in Western literature had challenged sexual love and brotherly love and had been confused with them since the Middle Ages. Hemingway’s early work was destructive of romantic love, says Lewis; the work of his middle career was crucial in his exploration for the supreme love and the means to whatever peace and happiness man may achieve. By the time he wrote The Old Man and the Sea, his ethic was formulated and he could write conclusively of the trial and lesson of love in Western civilization in a way that reflected his discovery that true love must be a reciprocal blend of eros and agape between man and woman, man and man, and man and his world.

    The Gilded Age and the dawn of the 20th century are often remembered as an era full of monopolies, trusts, and economic giants in heavy industries like oil and steel. Men like Andrew Carnegie built empires like Carnegie Steel, and financiers like J.P. Morgan merged and consolidated them. The era also made names like Astor, Cooke, and Vanderbilt instantly recognizable across the globe. Over time, the unfathomable wealth generated by the businesses made the individuals on top incredibly rich, and that in turn led to immense criticism and an infamous epithet used to rail against them: robber barons.  
    	Dozens of men were called “robber barons”, and the industrial might wielded by some of these men in the late 19th century directly led to a public backlash and made President Teddy Roosevelt the “trust buster”, and there has since been countless regulations to attempt to avoid the types of monopolies found over 100 years ago. However, many 20th century historians and writers pushed back against the allegations hurled at the “robber barons” and even took issue with the name. Libertarian writer John Stossel argued, “They weren't robbers, because they didn't steal from anyone, and they weren't barons - they were born poor...” Ironically, one of America’s most famous robber barons, Andrew Carnegie, epitomized the American Dream, migrating with his poor family to America in the mid-19th century and rising to the top of the business world in his adopted country. And like Carnegie, railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt set a precedent of sorts with his philanthropy, most notably his gift to Vanderbilt University, which bears his name. Similarly, the West Coast's most famous railroad mogul became Leland Stanford, who also bequeathed a prestigious university after making it to the top of the industry.
