From the rear cover: "One of the most influential thinkers of Ancient Greece or any other era, Plato formed the basis of Western philosophy. Mostly written in the form of dialogues with his teacher Socrates as the protagonist, his works address themes as varied as metaphysics, psychology, pedagogy, politics, and ethics. Despite the weighty subject matter, Plato's writing remains accessible to the general reader, and infused with wit and humor. Why is Plato worth reading today?

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The concept of a God has existed since an early part of man's history. And there are many religions which prescribe to the worship of God. A man appears on TV, in all the nations of the world introducing himself as a messenger of a group called the ascended beings. He says it was these beings who gave man religion to guide and control them as early humans were on a path of destruction. What started as a simple guide for life on Earth has spiralled uncontrollably into many different religions and sects. Religion is now one of the prime causes of division and conflict amongst the human race. However like all things the time has come for great change and it is time for humans to evolve into a higher state of consciousness. The angels want to remove religion and guide humanity's spiritual evolution to the next level. The date of Armageddon has been set 30 years in the future but the angels decide to speed it up because man's technological advancement has reached such a point that they are capable of destroying the whole planet before this can take place. But not everyone can make it.Some simply do not possess the mental and spiritual attributes to make that ascension and do not have a place in the new world.The mysterious man introduces a test. The Capability test. This determines whether you have the right mindset to enter into the kingdom of God. There are two options. Deny existence of God and go to Zion; a paradise. Or confess belief in God and go to Sheol; a city in Hell. This is announced on Halloween a night of all things unholy so many automatically think this is a trick. Follow the Ojo family in London, England as they prepare to make the greatest decision of their lives. The stage is set for the Ultimate Frontier and the time is now. What will you choose? Will you deny God and make it into heaven. Or believe in God and go straight to hell, the opposite of what religion teaches. Furthermore who's to prove the test is real in the first place. Free will is human's greatest gift and the time has come for each person to decide on their destiny. Will the test prove you are one of the chosen ones and have the guts to follow truth, order and reason?Or will it prove you operate on the lower vibrations of fear, lack the genes of the angels to decipher reality from fantasy and leave common sense and right reasoning for simple unconfirmed beliefs.The time for the humanity's greatest test is now. A messenger from a group of angels known as ascended beings, appears on TV and presents humanity with a test. The Capability Test will determine who has the mental attributes to enter a new kingdom on Earth. There are 2 options. Deny existence of God and go to Zion; a paradise. Or confess belief in God and go to Sheol; a city in Hell. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Song of Hiawatha is an epic verse of life in America before the coming of Europeans, written by one of our country's most notable poets. In creating the story of Hiawatha, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow used as his inspiration early ethnographic research into the life and folklore of the Great Lakes tribes. The poem is also undoubtedly the product of a European-American imagination, with its unabashedly romanticized look at a vanished way of life. First published in 1855 to critical acclaim, The Song of Hiawatha can be enjoyed both for its striking poetry and its interpretations of traditional Native American legends.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Upanishads are some of the world's most important works of spiritual literature, presented here in an accessible form by an early ambassador of Vedantic teaching.Swami Paramananda's translations were created in the early 1900s out of a desire to make the Hindu sacred texts comprehensible to Westerners, who had previously had to contend with the more obscure language of purely scholarly translations. The text and commentary was generated in a series of classes given by Paramananda in Boston, and later revised for publication. As a result the language is simple and clear, and the annotations relevant to a non-Hindu audience.These translations and commentary are still cherished by English speakers the world over for their lucidity and insight, and will be an asset to anyone interested in Vedic spirituality.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Euthydemus is Plato's defense of Socratic dialogue as a means to pursue truth.In Euthydemus, Plato has Socrates engage in a conversation with the title character and his brother Dionysodorus, both famous Sophists. They are representative of a type of argument, which Plato calls 'eristic', that emphasizes verbal trickery in order to humiliate your opponent and win your debate. This is contrasted with Socrates' dialectic, where words are a means of discerning reality, not gaining victory. In the process, Plato makes a case for the Socratic method as a means of educating youth, something he was attempting to do in his own newly-opened Academy.Presented in Plato's usual dramatic style, Euthydemus is simultaneously an engaging read and a passionate pedagogical manifesto.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Charmides is a classic Socratic dialogue which seeks to elucidate a single concept - that of sophrosyne, a Greek word most commonly translated into English as 'temperance.' As in many of his great works, Plato gives voice to his teacher Socrates, placing him in conversation with others who are less wise and more willing to commit themselves to untenable positions. Temperance was a key virtue in the classical world, and Socrates engages in dialogue with the youth Charmides and his guardian Critias in order to test and develop their assumptions about what exactly it means. With its focus on the human condition and the search for the correct way to live, Plato's Charmides remains as relevant as when it was written over two millennia ago.…
