Timaeus by PLATO (Πλάτων)Join Now to Follow
<p>"Our intention is, that Timaeus, who is the most of an astronomer amongst us, and has made the nature of the universe his special study, should speak first, beginning with the generation of the world and going down to the creation of man..."<br><br>'Timaeus' is usually regarded as one of Plato's later dialogues, and provides an account of the creation of the universe, with physical, metaphysical and ethical dimensions, which had great influence over philosophers for centuries following. It attributes the order and beauty of the universe to a benevolent demiurge - a 'craftsman' or god - fashioning the physical world after the pattern of an ideal, eternal one. <br><br>The dramatic setting of the dialogue is the day after a discussion in which Socrates has described his ideal state - as in the 'Republic'. A conversation between Socrates, Critias, Hermocrates and Timaeus, including Critias' account of Solon's journey to Egypt (where he hears the story of Atlantis), soon gives way to the monologue by Timaeus that forms the bulk of the work.<br><br>'Timaeus' is translated by Benjamin Jowett and his comprehensive introduction to and analysis of the work precedes the text itself, which he describes as "the growth of an age in which philosophy is not wholly separated from poetry and mythology". <br><br>(Summary by Philippa)</p>

Conversations of a Spirited Actor Blog Radio Show Hosted by Celebrity Acting Coach Tracey MooreJoin Now to Follow
The Spirited Actor Blog Radio Show dispels the myths created by actors about acting and the audition process while empowering actors to deliver a noteworthy performance. The audition process is the only platform for actors to showcase their talent in front of the "powers to be". Actors complain or fear the audition space instead of embracing an opportunity to be seen. What actors need to achieve longevity in their career is talent and access. When you gain access to the audition space and you are talented, a casting director, director or producer will remember you and in most cases talk about you to their industry friends. Next thing you know, an actor is getting a call from a casting director for an audition based on someone's referral. The Host, Tracey Moore has committed twenty years to casting for film, television and commercials and have been blessed to be apart of thousands of actors from Dave Chappele to Jon Stewart in the embryo stages of their careers. She witnessed their challenges and obstacles first hand, however they were persistent because they never gave away their power. They knew they had the power. The Spirited Actor Blog Radio Show was created to assist actors in maintaining their power and focusing on what you do have control over...your talent.

Librivox: Critique of Pure Reason, The by Kant, ImmanuelJoin Now to Follow
The Critique of Pure Reason, first published in 1781 with a second edition in 1787, has been called the most influential and important philosophical text of the modern age. Kant saw the Critique of Pure Reason as an attempt to bridge the gap between rationalism (there are significant ways in which our concepts and knowledge are gained independently of sense experience) and empiricism (sense experience is the ultimate source of all our concepts and knowledge) and, in particular, to counter the radical empiricism of David Hume (our beliefs are purely the result of accumulated habits, developed in response to accumulated sense experiences). Using the methods of science, Kant demonstrates that though each mind may, indeed, create its own universe, those universes are guided by certain common laws, which are rationally discernable.

The [i]Histories[/i] of Herodotus of Halicarnassus is considered the first work of history in Western literature. Written about 440 BC, the Histories tell the story of the war between the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states in the 5th century BC. Herodotus traveled extensively around the ancient world, conducting interviews and collecting stories for his book. The rise of the Persian Empire is chronicled, and the causes for the conflict with Greece.
