"Teogonía" es una de las fuentes más importantes de la mitología griega y relata la genealogía de los dioses, su origen y la formación del universo. La obra comienza con un himno a las Musas, seguido de la narracion de la creacion del cosmos desde el Caos primigenio hasta la consolidacion del poder de Zeus como rey de los dioses.Hesiodo describe el nacimiento de diversas deidades y criaturas mitologicas, como Gea (la Tierra), Urano (el Cielo), los Titanes, los Ciclopes y los Hecatonquiros. Tambien relata la lucha entre los Titanes y Zeus, conocida como la Titanomaquia, asi como la historia de Prometeo y la creacion de Pandora, el primer ser humano femenino.Esta obra fue fundamental para la religion y la literatura griega, pues organizo y estructuro los mitos dispersos en una narracion coherente. Ademas, influyo en la poesia y la filosofia posteriores, estableciendo un modelo sobre la cosmogonia que persistio en la tradicion grecorromana.

"Cármides" es un diálogo temprano de Platón, centrado en la exploración de la virtud de la "Sofrosina", un concepto griego antiguo de un ideal de excelencia de carácter y solidez de ánimo, que cuando se combina en un individuo bien equilibrado conduce a otras cualidades, como la templanza, la moderacion, la prudencia, la pureza, el decoro y el autocontrol; usualmente traducida como templanza, moderacion o sabiduria interior. El dialogo se situa poco despues de la batalla de Potidea. Socrates, que acaba de regresar del frente, visita el gimnasio de Taureas, donde se encuentra con jovenes atenienses, entre ellos Carmides, un joven de gran belleza fisica y miembro de una prominente familia aristocratica. Socrates conversa con Carmides para indagar en que consiste la sabiduria. A lo largo del dialogo, Socrates, fiel a su metodo, formula preguntas para analizar y refutar distintas definiciones que Carmides ofrece sobre la sabiduria: primero se dice que es la modestia, luego que es hacer bien las propias cosas, mas tarde que es conocerse a uno mismo. Cada definicion es examinada criticamente y se muestra insatisfactoria o contradictoria. Socrates introduce una idea mas profunda: que la sabiduria podria ser una especie de conocimiento, especificamente el conocimiento de uno mismo. Sin embargo, incluso esta nocion resulta problematica, ya que Socrates y sus interlocutores no logran explicar de manera concluyente que utilidad tendria un conocimiento que se limita a conocerse a si mismo sin aplicarse a ningun campo concreto.

"Las tres preguntas" es un cuento corto de Tolstói escrito en 1903, que explora temas filosóficos y morales a través de la historia de un rey en busca de sabiduría. El protagonista quiere descubrir tres verdades esenciales para la vida: ¿Cual es el mejor momento para hacer algo? ¿Quienes son las personas mas importantes? ¿Cual es la accion mas importante?Para encontrar respuestas, consulta a sabios, pero ninguno le satisface. Finalmente, un ermitaño le enseña que: El momento mas importante es el presente, porque es el unico sobre el que tenemos control. Las personas mas importantes son aquellas con las que estamos en ese instante, ya que podemos influir en su vida. La accion mas importante es hacer el bien, porque es la esencia de la existencia humana.Este relato refleja la vision espiritual y etica de Tolstoi, resaltando la importancia de la atencion plena y la bondad en la vida cotidiana.

"El Karma" es una de las obras fundamentales de Annie Besant sobre la doctrina teosófica. En este libro, explora el concepto hindú del karma, que puede resumirse como la ley de causa y efecto moral. Segun esta enseñanza, cada accion, pensamiento o emocion genera consecuencias que afectaran al individuo en esta vida o en vidas futuras.Besant presenta el karma no como un castigo, sino como una ley universal de justicia que permite al alma aprender y evolucionar a traves de la experiencia. Explica que los actos buenos traen bienestar, mientras que los negativos generan sufrimiento, no como una cuestion de retribucion divina, sino como un reflejo natural del equilibrio del universo.En la obra, tambien vincula el karma con la reencarnacion, sosteniendo que el alma vuelve a nacer repetidamente, arrastrando las consecuencias de acciones pasadas, y que la comprension de esta ley puede guiar al ser humano hacia una vida mas consciente, etica y compasiva.La obra busca inspirar una transformacion interior, mostrando que cada ser humano es responsable de su propio destino y que el entendimiento profundo del karma puede conducir a una vida mas elevada y armoniosa.

La crónica real del exorcismo que sacudió Santiago en 1857 y abrió un duelo entre fe y ciencia, rescatada con pulso narrativo y rigor histórico.Invierno de 1857: una joven llamada Carmen Marín convulsiona a la ciudad. El presbitero Jose Raimundo Zisternas registra, dia a dia, lo que ve y oye en el Hospicio: accesos, rezos, pruebas medicas, exorcismos y una multitud que exige respuestas. Su "Relacion" al arzobispo cataliza un debate feroz con los facultativos de la epoca, quienes intentan explicar el caso como histeria o magnetismo, mientras el Evangelio de San Juan aparece -en el relato- como unico "remedio". Esta edicion recupera ese documento integro, enmarcado por un prologo de Patricio Jara y acompañado por recortes de prensa e informes medicos que convierten el episodio en una pieza mayor de no ficcion historica.Mas que el expediente de un exorcismo, el libro retrata una ciudad partida entre lo sagrado y lo moderno y muestra como el caso empujo a la medicina local hacia una mirada clinica que anticipa discusiones que, decadas despues, instalarian Freud y Breuer. Un testimonio que se lee con el suspenso de un true crime y la densidad de una polemica intelectual.

James Agees Let Us Now Praise Famous Men is a compelling exploration of the lives of impoverished sharecroppers in the rural American South during the Great Depression. Blending the rigorous, factual reportage of a documentary with the evocative prose of a novel, Agees work defies traditional genre classifications. Strikingly candid, the narrative delves into the everyday experiences and intimate realities of three tenant farming families, presenting an unflinching portrait of human dignity amidst dire poverty. James Agee, an author known for his insightful social commentaries, was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, a location that deeply influenced his writing sensibilities. Educated at institutions such as Harvard University, Agee honed his skills to create a voice capable of capturing the nuanced psychology of his subjects.

Scholars, literary enthusiasts, and socially conscious readers alike are compelled to experience Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Agees innovative approach provides a tapestry rich with the nuances of human experience and social critique, making it a seminal work in American literature. Those interested in the intersection of journalism and narrative art will discover its enduring relevance, offering insights into the socio-economic challenges of past and present, cultivating a deeper understanding of resilience and humanity in the face of adversity.

Ambrosiaster ("Star of Ambrose") is the name given to the anonymous author of the earliest complete Latin commentary on the thirteen epistles of Paul. The commentaries were thought to have been written by Ambrose throughout the Middle Ages, but their authorship was challenged by Erasmus, whose arguments have proved decisive.Here for the first time Ambrosiasters commentaries on Romans and the Corinthian correspondence are made available in English translation, ably translated and edited by Gerald L. Bray.The commentaries, which serve as important witnesses to pre-Vulgate Latin versions of Pauls epistles, are noteworthy in other respects as well. Ambrosiaster was a careful and thoughtful interpreter, with little use for allegory, though he employed typology judiciously. Writing during the pontificate of Damasus (366-384), he is a witness to Nicene orthodoxy and frequently comments on themes related to the Trinity, the consubstantiality of the Son, the problem of the unbelief of the Jews and the nature of human sinfulness. He had a keen eye for moral issues and often offers comments that reflect his knowledge of how the church had changed from the time of the apostles to his own day.This commentary offers a rich repository of insight into the thinking of pre-Reformation church leaders for the leaders and teachers of the church today.Ancient Christian Texts are new English translations of full-length commentaries or sermon series from ancient Christian authors that allow you to study key writings of the early church fathers in a fresh way.

In August 2004 the government in Britain approved the granting of licences to research groups who wished to research and develop the cloning of human embryos for therapeutic purposes. The main focus of such research is the attainment of embryonic stem cells, and the development of therapies from such cells. Already some of this research is reported to be happening in South Korea. While they were initially discussed as separate issues in ethical and theological debates, they are now closely intertwined. The first group in England to receive a licence predicts that they will be successful within the next few years. This adds an intensity to our need to understand the dimensions of this science and its impact on our life as well as our desire to put a meaning to these developments.

Atrincherades en la Moral Colonial ofrece una perspectiva descolonial del orden político patriarcal y revela cómo la llamada moral colonial organiza todas las jerarquías del poder, a través de la raza y la racializacion de genero que sostienen las violencias contemporaneas.A traves del dialogo con autores como Quijano, Segato y Lugones, la autora desmonta los lenguajes que legitiman la dominacion y propone recuperar el tejido comunitario como forma de resistencia politica y afectiva.Ademas, incorpora un dossier sobre Violencia Vicaria y el falso ISAP, analizando su instrumentalizacion en los ambitos institucionales y del poder judicial como herramienta de disciplinamiento hacia mujeres y niñeces.Esta obra combina reflexion teorica, experiencia personal y transposicion pedagogica, donde el texto invita a repensar los vinculos y a imaginar un horizonte en el cual la transformacion feminista se exprese en la vida cotidiana.

After four tense decades of the Cold War and a subsequent period of relative stability across much of Europe, is the continent once again under threat? And are Europeans prepared to face the growing risks and strategic challenges of the second quarter of the 21st century? This ISPI Report, crafted for both expert readers and a broader audience, traces the evolution of Europes defense architecture on two parallel tracks: the defense of Europe, fundamentally underpinned by NATO and shaped through its continual adaptation; and the pursuit of a distinctly European defense identity, increasingly advanced through the European Union. It examines the intersections, overlaps, tensions, and pivotal turning points in this dual process, exploring institutional and organizational frameworks, strategies and doctrines, missions and operations, as well as military and industrial capabilities. The storyline leads to 2025, a symbolic crossroads that may mark the end of one era and the beginning of another: a moment when Europeans will be called upon to assume full responsibility for their own security and defense. Will they rise to the challenge?
