The Sophist is a Platonic dialogue from the philosopher's late period, most likely written in 360 BC. In it the interlocutors, led by Eleatic Stranger employ the method of division in order to classify and define the sophist and describe his essential attributes and differentia vis a vis the philosopher and statesman. Like its sequel, the Statesman, the dialogue is unusual in that Socrates is present but plays only a minor role. Instead, the Eleatic Stranger takes the lead in the discussion. Because Socrates is silent, it is difficult to attribute the views put forward by the Eleatic Stranger to Plato, beyond the difficulty inherent in taking any character to be an author's "mouthpiece".The main objective of the dialogue is to identify what a sophist is and how a sophist differs from a philosopher and statesman. Because each seems distinguished by a particular form of knowledge, the dialogue continues some of the lines of inquiry pursued in the epistemological dialogue, Theaetetus, which is said to have taken place the day before. Because the Sophist treats these matters, it is often taken to shed light on Plato's Theory of Forms and is compared with the Parmenides, which criticized what is often taken to be the theory of forms.In Cratylus, contemporary or slightly preceding the Republic, Plato poses the problem, decisive for the use of dialectics for cognitive purposes, of the relationship between name and thing, between word and reality. Thus the 'Sophist' has its major background in the Cratylus. This dialogue is resolved in a contrast between the thesis of Hermogenes, who considers the name a simple sequence of sounds conventionally chosen to refer to an object, and the thesis of Cratylus, a pupil of the old Heraclitus, who supported the full expression of the essence of the "nominatum" in the name, and who considered the names as expressions forged by an Onomaturge, capable of expressing the essence of the thing named.

Politics is a work of political philosophy by Aristotle, a 4th-century BC Greek philosopher.The end of the Nicomachean Ethics declared that the inquiry into ethics necessarily follows into politics, and the two works are frequently considered to be parts of a larger treatise-or perhaps connected lectures-dealing with the "philosophy of human affairs".The title of Politics literally means "the things concerning the ¿¿¿¿¿ : polis", and is the origin of the modern English word politics.The literary character of the Politics is subject to some dispute, growing out of the textual difficulties that attended the loss of Aristotle's works. Book III ends with a sentence that is repeated almost verbatim at the start of Book VII, while the intervening Books IV-VI seem to have different flavor from the rest; Book IV seems to refer several times back to the discussion of the best regime contained in Books VII-VIII.[5] Some editors have therefore inserted Books VII-VIII after Book III. At the same time, however, references to the "discourses on politics" that occur in the Nicomachean Ethics suggest that the treatise as a whole ought to conclude with the discussion of education that occurs in Book VIII of the Politics, although it is not certain that Aristotle is referring to the Politics here

En esta novela Wolfgang "delira" y Tristán (apurado por una "debilidad cardíaca") se encamina "hacia el olvido". También se escucha -ensaya- el Requiem, que ya no es solo de Mozart, sino de ese "obscurecido" presbítero y escritor llamado Tristán de Jesús Medina. Viena, Praga, La Habana, Bayamo (donde principia y acaba todo)... cronotopos en los que Muerte y Alegría van dando saltos, guíadas por la prosa narrativa de Roberto Méndez. Novela-victrola, relato-caja de resonancias, narración-partitura. En Música nocturna para un hereje se insulariza la ópera; o, para decirlo en su reverso (o sinónimo), se operiza a la "Siempre Fiel Isla de Cuba".

Rogério é um jovem de família pobre. Um beligerante, um sonhador incansável. Das periferias do Rio De janeiro para o mundo.

James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. He worked from 1898 to 1900 as a newpaper reporter in New York City, but returned to Richmond in 1901, where he worked several months on the staff of the Richmond News. In 1902, seven of his first stories appeared in national magazines and over the next decade he wrote many short stories and articles, contributing to nationally published magazines including Harper's Monthly Magazine and The Saturday Evening Post, as well as carrying out extensive research on his family's genealogy.

Optimism is a classic and inspirational essay by Helen Keller on the topic of optimism that serves as one of the best self-help books that one could find. This great work contains this snippet: Could we choose our environment, and were desire in human undertakings synonymous with endowment, all men would, I suppose, be optimists. Certainly most of us regard happiness as the proper end of all earthly enterprise. The will to be happy animates alike the philosopher, the prince and the chimney-sweep. No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
