Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to take a tour through time and go deep into the minds of the most influential philosophers of all humanity? If you want to immerse yourself in some words of wisdom from these great thinkers, then keep reading... 'It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it' - Aristotle I have been a deep thinker for as long as I can remember. I would continually question existence, identity, reality, ethics, politics, religion, metaphysics and everything in between. I've always found it fascinating to entertain those thoughts, but for the most part, could never share it with others as it can come off strange and intense to many who are not on the same 'wavelength'. Sound familiar? Realising that not a lot of others might think in the same exploratory way as me, I decided to look elsewhere to see if other thinkers of the past thought or shared similar ideas. Aristotle, Plato, Descartes to name a few; they all shared such a wise and unique way of thinking, with the continuous pursuit to challenge conventional knowledge and thought processes. Many of these philosophers were strong believers that you should always question everything. They believed that for one to become fully realised you must first begin to look inside and reflect on yourself and your thoughts. Do you sometimes find yourself deep in thought, feeling connected to a train of thought and your mind in a way that feels foreign but natural? Do you ever find yourself contemplating reality, the origins of ethics, or if our current social structure is the most efficient to society it can be? Through reading quotes we can travel through time and by practice of evaluation we can start connecting with how these thinkers thought. We can read a quote and resonate with it so deeply to the point it's as if we share the same experience as the quoter. This skill can be developed through this practice and has scientifically proven benefits such as increased critical thinking and information organisation. In Simply Philosophical Quotes you will discover: A swift introduction to the most influential thinkers of all time Their top 3 teachings and ideas 5 fascinating facts you won't have heard before 915 inspiring, thought-provoking quotes that will leave you deep in reflection The importance of evaluating your own thoughts Philosophers include Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, René Descartes, Confucius, Immanuel Kant, The Buddha, John Locke, Epictetus and Friedrich Nietzsche.

Download or read book The Just City written by Jo Walton and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here in the Just City you will become your best selves. You will learn and grow and strive to be excellent." Created as an experiment by the time-traveling goddess Pallas Athene, the Just City is a planned community, populated by over ten thousand children and a few hundred adult teachers from all eras of history, along with some handy robots from the far human future—all set down together on a Mediterranean island in the distant past. The student Simmea, born an Egyptian farmer's daughter sometime between 500 and 1000 A.D, is a brilliant child, eager for knowledge, ready to strive to be her best self. The teacher Maia was once Ethel, a young Victorian lady of much learning and few prospects, who prayed to Pallas Athene in an unguarded moment during a trip to Rome—and, in an instant, found herself in the Just City with grey-eyed Athene standing unmistakably before her. Meanwhile, Apollo—stunned by the realization that there are things mortals understand better than he does—has arranged to live a human life, and has come to the City as one of the children. He knows his true identity, and conceals it from his peers. For this lifetime, he is prone to all the troubles of being human. Then, a few years in, Sokrates arrives—the same Sokrates recorded by Plato himself—to ask all the troublesome questions you would expect. What happens next is a tale only the brilliant Jo Walton could tell. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato's Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514a–520a) to compare "the effect of education (παιδεία) and the lack of it on our nature". It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter.

Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality.
