(P/B) SOURCES OF THE SELF
THE MAKING OF THE MODERN IDENTITY
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0880
In this extensive inquiry into the sources of modern selfhood, Charles Taylor demonstrates just how rich and precious those resources are. The modern turn to subjectivity, with its attendant rejection of an objective order of reason, has led - it seems to many - to mere subjectivism at the mildest and to sheer nihilism at the worst. Many critics believe that the modern order has no moral backbone and has proved corrosive to all that might foster human good. Taylor rejects this view. He argues that, properly understood, our modern notion of... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) Islam and the Future of Tolerance
A Dialogue
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0936
Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem to be drawn to extremism? And what do words like jihadism and fundamentalism really mean? In a world riven by misunderstanding and violence, Sam Harris-a famous atheist-and Maajid Nawaz-a former radical-demonstrate how two people with very different religious views can find common ground and invite you to join in an urgently needed conversation.

(H/B) The Theology of Liberalism
Political Philosophy and the Justice of God
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0935
One of our most important political theorists pulls the philosophical rug out from under modern liberalism, then tries to place it on a more secure footing. We think of modern liberalism as the novel product of a world reinvented on a secular basis after 1945. In The Theology of Liberalism, one of the country's most important political theorists argues that we could hardly be more wrong. Eric Nelson contends that the tradition of liberal political philosophy founded by John Rawls is, however unwittingly, the product of ancient theological ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) GREEK ELEGIAC POETRY
FROM THE SEVENTH TO THE FIFTH CENTURIES BC
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0178
The Greek poetry of the archaic period that we call elegy was composed primarily for banquets and convivial gatherings. Its subject matter consists of almost any topic, excluding only the scurrilous and obscene. In this completely new Loeb Classical Library edition, Douglas Gerber provides a faithful translation of the fragments and significant testimonia that have come down to us, with full explanatory notes. Most substantial in this volume is the collection of elegiac verses to which Theognis’ name is attached. Drinking and merry-making ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) THE RHETORICAL EXERCISES OF NIKEPHOROS BASILAKES
PROGYMNASMATA FROM TWELFTH-CENTURY BYZANTIUM
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0887
Progymnasmata, preliminary exercises in the study of declamation, were the cornerstone of elite education from Hellenistic through Byzantine times. Using material from Greek literary, mythological, and historical traditions, students and writers composed examples ranging from simple fables to complex arguments about fictional laws. In the Byzantine period, the spectrum of source material expanded to include the Bible and Christian hagiography and theology. This collection was written by Nikephoros Basilakes, imperial notary and teacher at ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) UNFLATTENING
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0852
The primacy of words over images has deep roots in Western culture. But what if the two are inextricably linked, equal partners in meaning-making? Written and drawn entirely as comics, Unflattening is an experiment in visual thinking. Nick Sousanis defies conventional forms of scholarly discourse to offer readers both a stunning work of graphic art and a serious inquiry into the ways humans construct knowledge. Unflattening is an insurrection against the fixed viewpoint. Weaving together diverse ways of seeing drawn from science, philosoph... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) RECONSTRUCTING DEMOCRACY
HOW CITIZENS ARE BUILDING FROM THE GROUND UP
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0925
Across the world, democracies are suffering from a disconnect between the people and political elites. In communities where jobs and industry are scarce, many feel the government is incapable of understanding their needs or addressing their problems. The resulting frustration has fueled the success of destabilizing demagogues. To reverse this pattern and restore responsible government, we need to reinvigorate democracy at the local level. But what does that mean? Drawing on examples of successful community building in cities large and smal... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) VIRGIL (VOLUME I)
ECLOGUES, GEORGICS, AENEID (BOOKS 1-6)
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0589
Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro) was born in 70 BCE near Mantua and was educated at Cremona, Milan and Rome. Slow in speech, shy in manner, thoughtful in mind, weak in health, he went back north for a quiet life. Influenced by the group of poets there, he may have written some of the doubtful poems included in our Virgilian manuscripts. All his undoubted extant work is written in his perfect hexameters. Earliest comes the collection of ten pleasingly artificial bucolic poems, the Eclogues, which imitated freely Theocritus’s idylls. They de... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

Here is a new Loeb Classical Library edition of the resplendent epic tale of Odysseus's long journey home from the Trojan War and the legendary temptations, delays, and perils he faced at every turn. Homer's classic poem features Odysseus's encounters with the beautiful nymph Calypso; the queenly but wily Circe; the Lotus-eaters, who fed his men their memory-stealing drug; the man-eating, one-eyed Cyclops; the Laestrygonian giants; the souls of the dead in Hades; the beguiling Sirens; the treacherous Scylla and Charybdis.

(H/B) GREEK IAMBIC POETRY
FROM THE SEVENTH TO THE FIFTH CENTURIES BC
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0180
The poetry of the archaic period that the Greeks called iambic is characterized by scornful criticism of friend and foe and by sexual license. The purpose of these poems is unclear, but they seem to have some connection with cult songs used in religious festivals--for example, those honoring Dionysus and Demeter. In this completely new Loeb Classical Library edition of early Greek iambic poetry, Douglas Gerber provides a faithful and fully annotated translation of the fragments that have come down to us. Archilochus expressed himself in co... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0405
Here is a new Loeb Classical Library edition of Homer’s stirring heroic account of the Trojan war and its passions. The eloquent and dramatic epic poem captures the terrible anger of Achilles, "the best of the Achaeans," over a grave insult to his personal honor and relates its tragic result--a chain of consequences that proves devastating for the Greek forces besieging Troy, for noble Trojans, and for Achilles himself. The poet gives us compelling characterizations of his protagonists as well as a remarkable study of the heroic code in an... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) SENECA (VOLUME II)
MORAL ESSAYS (VOLUME II)
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0234
Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, born at Corduba (Cordova) ca. 4 BCE, of a prominent and wealthy family, spent an ailing childhood and youth at Rome in an aunt’s care. He became famous in rhetoric, philosophy, money-making, and imperial service. After some disgrace during Claudius’ reign he became tutor and then, in 54 CE, advising minister to Nero, some of whose worst misdeeds he did not prevent. Involved (innocently?) in a conspiracy, he killed himself by order in 65. Wealthy, he preached indifference to wealth; evader of pain and death, he preac... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) EURIPIDES (VOLUME VI)
BACCHAE. IPHIGENIA AT AULIS. RHESUS
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0388
One of antiquity’s greatest poets, Euripides has been prized in every age for the pathos, terror, and intellectual probing of his dramatic creations. This volume completes the new six-volume Loeb Classical Library edition of his plays. In Bacchae, a masterpiece of tragic drama, Euripides tells the story of king Pentheus’s resistance to the worship of Dionysus and his horrific punishment. Iphigenia at Aulis recounts the sacrifice of Agamemnon’s daughter to Artemis, the price exacted by the goddess for favorable sailing winds. Rhesus (probab... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) SUETONIUS (VOLUME II)
LIVES OF THE CAESARS (VOLUME II)
Εκδότης: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1825-0577
Suetonius (C. Suetonius Tranquillus, born ca. 70 CE), son of a military tribune, was at first an advocate and a teacher of rhetoric, but later became the emperor Hadrian's private secretary, 119-121. He dedicated to C. Septicius Clarus, prefect of the praetorian guard, his Lives of the Caesars. After the dismissal of both men for some breach of court etiquette, Suetonius apparently retired and probably continued his writing. His other works, many known by title, are now lost except for part of the Lives of Illustrious Men (of letters). Fri... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |
