Plato's apology of socrates audio6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Further, the traditional education, which the Athenians believed was threatened by the new educators, was itself fractured. ![]() Socrates suggests that Athenians have failed to recognize that there were various types among the new educators of fifth century Athens – orators, sophists, natural philosophers and, perhaps, a philosopher like Socrates. ![]() In this paper, I argue that, given the historic educational transformation in Socrates’ and Plato’s lifetimes, Socrates’ denial is far more complex and far reaching than the Socrates-versus-the-sophists distinction indicates. Many scholars have contended that, in having Socrates deny he is a teacher, Plato is primarily interested in distinguishing him from the sophists. Instead, he simply denies that he is a teacher. As Socrates stands on trial for corrupting the youth, surprisingly, he does not defend the substance and the methods of his teaching. ![]() Plato’s Apology of Socrates contains a spirited account of Socrates’ relationship with the city of Athens and its citizens. ![]() Seafire trilogy book 26/12/2023 ![]() "One of the most spell-binding adventures of the year.

Taking a photograph becomes a way of attenuating the otherness of a place, holding it at a distance. Sontag claimed that we photograph most when we feel most insecure, particularly when we are in an unfamiliar place where we don’t know how to react or what is expected of us. Confronted with the chaotic surfeit of sensation, we retreat behind the protection of the camera, whose one-eyed, one-sensed perspective makes the world seem maniable. She saw that it had become a coping mechanism. ![]() ![]() Sontag described photography as “a defense against anxiety”. It ranges over artistic, commercial, photojournalistic, and popular uses of photography and it discusses the photograph’s role in both sensitising and desensitising us to other people’s suffering – a theme Sontag reconsidered 30 years later in her final book, Regarding the Pain of Others.īut perhaps nowhere is Sontag’s enduring relevance as a critic clearer than in the essay’s analysis of photography as both a symptom and a source of our pathological relationship to reality. Slightly edited and renamed In Plato’s Cave, it would become the first essay in her collection On Photography, which has never been out of print. ![]() This year marks 50 years since Susan Sontag’s essay Photography was published in the New York Review of Books. ![]() Hamilton mythology6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() I do not mean, of course, that a great writer's style can be reproduced or that I should dream of attempting such a feat. That would have meant either writing "King Lear," so to speak, down to the level of "Cinderella"-the vice versa procedure being obviously not possible-or else telling in my own way stories which were in no sense mine and had been told by great writers in ways they thought suited their subjects. In point of fact, Chaucer is more like Galsworthy and the ballads like Kipling than Homer is like Lucian or Aeschylus like Ovid.įaced with this problem, I determined at the outset to dismiss any idea of unifying the tales. The English collection would be bigger, but it would not contain more dissimilar material. Twelve hundred years separate the first writers through whom the myths have come down to us from the last, and there are stories as unlike each other as "Cinderella" and "King Lear." To bring them all together in one volume is really somewhat comparable to doing the same for the stories of English literature from Chaucer to the ballads, through Shakespeare and Marlowe and Swift and Defoe and Dryden and Pope and so on, ending with, say, Tennyson and Browning, or even, to make the comparison truer, Kipling and Galsworthy. ![]() A book on Mythology must draw from widely different sources. ![]() Rules to catch a devilish duke6/11/2023 ![]() Nate Stokes, Earl of Westfall, is a supremely accomplished former spy more at home on London’s seedy streets than in any glittery ballroom. His peers know him only as a bookish fellow who can find anything-or anyone. When the Marquis of Ebberling hires him to find a murderess, Nate’s search leads him to the Tantalus Club and Emily Portsman.Michael P.

But that’s not what I really want to talk about. ![]() Moon Awakening by Lucy Monroe6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() In 1997, she was the overall winner of the BBC's Mastermind, winning the last final presented by Magnus Magnusson.ĭivorced twice, she lived in the Midlands town of Rugby in England, but was a regular visitor to New York City, where her twin grandchildren live. ![]() In 1975, she sold her first romance novel to Mills & Boon, under the pseudonym of Sara Craven. After she returned to journalism, she joined the Middlesbrough Writers' Group, where she met other romance writer Mildred Grieveson ( Anne Mather). She worked as journalist at the Paignton Observer, but after her marriage, she moved to the north of England, where she worked as teacher. In 2010 she became chairman of the Southern Writers' Conference, and the next year was elected the 26th Chairman (2011–2013) of the Romantic Novelists' Association.Īnne "Annie" Bushell was born in October 1938 in Devon, England. Her novels were published by Mills & Boon from 1975. Moon Awakening is written by Lucy Monroe and published by Berkley (P-US). Anne Ashurst (née Bushell October 1938 in Devon, England – 15 November 2017 ), who wrote using the pseudonym Sara Craven, was a British author of over 80 romance novels. When Emily Hamiltons family is ordered to send a woman to the Scottish highlands for marriage to the laird of the Sinclair, Emily volunteers in order to save her younger sister from such a fate. ![]() Everless goodreads6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you Edelweiss, Sara Holland and HarperTeen for my ARC! Evermore will be available on December 31, 2018. For it is only by piecing together the mysteries of her lives that Jules will be able to save the person who has captured her own heart in this one. Jules must delve into the stories that she now recognizes are accounts of her own past. And Caro is intent on destroying Jules, who stole her heart twelve lifetimes ago. The whole kingdom believes that Jules is responsible for the murders, and a hefty bounty has been placed on her head. ![]() But she has just learned the truth: not only are the stories true, but she herself is the Alchemist, and Caro-a woman who single-handedly murdered the Queen and Jules’s first love, Roan, in cold blood-is the Sorceress. Jules Ember was raised hearing legends of the ancient magic of the wicked Alchemist and the good Sorceress. ![]() Author of my cousin rachel6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Re-viewing this version, it is probably true to say that it adheres somewhat more closely to the novel, particularly in the earliest and final episodes. As one who had not read her for several decades, I was impressed on recently reading My Cousin Rachel (1951) by the sheer quality of the prose and its ability to maintain an enigmatic quality without descent into mere teasing.īack in 1952, 20th Century Fox filmed the novel with Richard Burton as Philip Ashley and Olivia de Havilland as his cousin Rachel. Clearly there was plenty to attract filmmakers to her work. Does anyone read Daphne du Maurier (1907–89) these days? An immensely popular novelist for some decades, she was much filmed, for screens large and small, most famously by Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed Jamaica Inn and Rebecca in 19 respectively, and, even more famously, The Birds in 1963. ![]() |
