Download or read book The Book of Dead Philosophers written by Simon Critchley and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diogenes died by holding his breath. Plato allegedly died of a lice infestation. Diderot choked to death on an apricot. Nietzsche made a long, soft-brained and dribbling descent into oblivion after kissing a horse in Turin. From the self-mocking haikus of Zen masters on their deathbeds to the last words (gasps) of modern-day sages, The Book of Dead Philosophers chronicles the deaths of almost 200 philosophers-tales of weirdness, madness, suicide, murder, pathos and bad luck. In this elegant and amusing book, Simon Critchley argues that the question of what constitutes a 'good death' has been the central preoccupation of philosophy since ancient times. As he brilliantly demonstrates, looking at what the great thinkers have said about death inspires a life-affirming enquiry into the meaning and possibility of human happiness. In learning how to die, we learn how to live.

Download or read book The Kimberley Arrangement written by Theodore Josiha Haig and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Kruger was a very smart man, faithful to the Broderbund and the Afrikaner cause to maintain white Afrikaner superiority in the regime while suppressing any ideology designed to undermine their values, customs, traditions and political power in South Africa. His trips to Panama were motivated by an over-arching need to continue to live peacefully and comfortably, spiritually and financially, within the regime. He enjoyed his professorship and status at the University of Stellenbosch for the past twenty-years because of his ability to use the university community as a recruiting ground for generating future intellectuals, entrepreneurs, lawyers and politicians that ultimately supported the Apartheid regime. De Beers the diamond industry's giant, through the Broderbund, wanted to expand into the United States markets and no doubt, Arthur McLaughlin had fallen victim to the same pattern. And within the context of the university environment that wasn't a bad thing. He just had to protect his sources of influence because ultimately he was fueling a diamond empire that would reward him handsomely, financially. However, it was Paul Kruger, the primary antagonist of the novel, which uses his influence, throughout the story, to gain power and control within the diamond empire of Arthur McLaughlin. Committed to financing the Apartheid Regime in South Africa through the Panama Scheme, an illegal way of smuggling diamonds into the United States, Professor Kruger would not let anything get in the way of this financial resource even after Arthur's untimely death, including the kidnapping and disappearance of Arthur' daughter, Janette McLaughlin. Although, Arthur's son John had posed the greatest threat to Paul Kruger after he inherited the company.

Natalie, a young art student in New York City, is struggling to pay her bills when a friend makes a suggestion: Why not go online and find a sugar daddy—a wealthy, older man who will pay her for dates and even give her a monthly allowance? Lots of girls do it, Nat learns. All that’s required is to look pretty and hang on his every word. Sexual favors are optional. Though more than thirty years her senior, Gabe, a handsome corporate finance attorney, seems like the perfect candidate, and within a month, they are madly in love. At least, Nat is…Gabe already has a family, whom he has no intention of leaving. So when he abruptly ends things, Nat can’t let go. But Gabe’s not about to let his sugar baby destroy his perfect life. What was supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement devolves into a nightmare of deception, obsession, and, when a body is found near Gabe’s posh Upper East Side apartment, murder. Emotionally powerful and packed with page-turning suspense, The Arrangement delves into the sordid, all-too-real world of shadowy relationships between wealthy, powerful men and the young women who are caught in their web.
