Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Truth: Individual Problems and Possibilities by William George Jordan is a self-help book for everyone. As the title suggests, Jordan takes on the rather difficult task of explaining abstract concepts like truth, the human mind, ingratitude as well as tolerance and courage among other things. Written for the general reader, this book is an eye opener as the author deconstructs certain facts of life which are taken for granted by most people. Jordan opens with wisdom on truth and the power it holds over one's conscience. He defines truth as an intrinsic virtue which becomes extrinsic as it's radiated by individuals in their daily lives. He covers issues of companionship, religion, work and health giving prime importance to the search for truth and being honest with the self. He then moves on to discuss the role of ingratitude and people living in 'air castles'. In essence, Jordan argues that life is not a competition with others but a rivalry with our own selves. In parts mesmerizing and in others entirely motivational, The Power of Truth: Individual Problems and Possibilities has a hypnotizing effect on the reader. Jordan has mastered the art of using evocative phrases and just the right mix of assertion and self-conviction for penning some profound thoughts on optimism, value of life and importance of truth. The chapter on Companionship of Tolerance is perhaps worth mentioning as it stands out from the rest of the contents. Jordan offsets the negative qualities of people against their positive qualities to appreciate their true worth. While most of the content of this book is going to ring a bell in most readers' minds, it is the manner in which Jordan presents his theories that make it worth re-reading. Meant for every individual who wishes to deconstruct the vary basis of life and truth, The Power of Truth: Individual Problems and Possibilities is a must have for all.

It is loyalty to the right as we see it; it is courageous living of our lives in harmony with our ideals; it is always—power.Truth ever defies full definition. Like electricity it can only be explained by noting its manifestation. It is the compass of the soul, the guardian of conscience, the final touchstone of right. Truth is the revelation of the ideal; but it is also an inspiration to realize that ideal, a constant impulse to live it.Lying is one of the oldest vices in the world—it made its début in the first recorded conversation in history, in a famous interview in the garden of Eden. Lying is the sacrifice of honor to create a wrong impression. It is masquerading in misfit virtues. Truth can stand alone, for it needs no chaperone or escort. Lies are cowardly, fearsome things that must travel in battalions. They are like a lot of drunken men, one vainly seeking to support another. Lying is the partner and accomplice of all the other vices. It is the cancer of moral degeneracy in an individual life......

Excerpt: ... filled promises; in detecting with the justice of a court of equity a technicality of speech that is virtually a lie. He will justify his own lapses from truth by appeal to some white lie told to a visitor, and unknown to be overheard by the little one, whose mental powers we ever underestimate in theory though we may overpraise in words. Q Teach the child in a thousand ways, directly and indirectly, the power of truth, the beauty of truth, and the sweetness and rest of companionship with truth. Q And if it be the rock-foundation of the child character, as a fact, not as a theory, the future of that child is as fully assured as it is possible for human prevision to guarantee. The power of Truth, in its highest, purest, and most exalted phases, stands squarely on four basic lines of relation, --the love of truth, the search for truth, faith in truth, and work for truth. 4 The love ofTruth is the cultivated hunger for it in itself and for itself, without any thought of what it may cost, what sacrifices it may entail, what theories or beliefs of a life-time may be laid desolate. In its supreme phase, this attitude of life is rare, but unless one can begin to put himself into harmony with this view, the individual will only creep in truth, when he might walk bravely. With the love of truth, the individual scorns to do a mean thing, no matter what be the gain, even if the whole world would approve. He would not sacrifice the sanction of his own high standard for any gain, he would not willingly deflect the needle of his thought and act from the true North, as he knows it, by the slightest possible variation. He himself would know of the deflection--that would be enough. What matters it what the world thinks if he have his own disapproval?..

Book excerpt: Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

Download or read book Post Truth written by Steve Fuller and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Post-truth’ was Oxford Dictionaries 2016 word of the year. While the term was coined by its disparagers in the light of the Brexit and US presidential campaigns, the roots of post-truth lie deep in the history of Western social and political theory. Post-Truth reaches back to Plato, ranging across theology and philosophy, to focus on the Machiavellian tradition in classical sociology, as exemplified by Vilfredo Pareto, who offered the original modern account of post-truth in terms of the ‘circulation of elites’. The defining feature of ‘post-truth’ is a strong distinction between appearance and reality which is never quite resolved and so the strongest appearance ends up passing for reality. The only question is whether more is gained by rapid changes in appearance or by stabilizing one such appearance. Post-Truth plays out what this means for both politics and science.
