Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In his Symposium, Plato crafted a set of speeches in praise of love that has influenced writers and artists from antiquity to the present. Early Christian writers read the dialogue's 'ascent passage' as a vision of the soul's journey to heaven. Ficino's commentary on the Symposium inspired poets and artists throughout Renaissance Europe and introduced 'a Platonic love' into common speech. Themes or images from the dialogue have appeared in paintings or sketches by Rubens, David, Feuerbach, and La Farge, as well as in musical compositions by Satie and Bernstein. The dialogue's view of love as 'desire for eternal possession of the good' is still of enormous philosophical interest in its own right. Nevertheless, questions remain concerning the meaning of specific features, the significance of the dialogue as a whole, and the character of its influence. This volume brings together an international team of scholars to address such questions.

Wraps. Condition: Good. Revised Edition. [6], 100, [2] pages. Cover has some wear. Corners of several pages bent. This bibliography revises and updates A Select Bibliography of the United States Navy and the Southeast Asian Conflict, 1950-1975, compiled by Edward J. Marolda and G. Wesley Price III and issued in November 1983. The greater number of titles cited in this new edition reflects the outpouring of books and articles on the Vietnam War since 1983. In addition, because of the growing attention to the role of women in war, the current edition of the bibliography presents a new subject category entitled Navy Women. A primary object of this current work is to provide a bibliography that would enable researchers to identify the most comprehensive books and articles on the Navy's overall involvement in the struggle for Southeast Asia (hence the General Works section). Another goal was to present researchers only interested in specific subject areas with the fullest information on the sources treating those individual topics. The books, public documents, and articles cited in the bibliography can be found in the holding of the Navy Department Library. Among the topical areas covered, in addition to General Works, are: Strategy, Tactics, and Policy; Air Operations; Riverine Operations; Coastal Patrol; Amphibious Warfare; Naval Gunfire Support; Special Operations; Mine Warfare; Advisors and Military Assistance; Civic Action; Maritime Evacuations; Military Construction; Logistic Support; Navy Women; Medical Support, Ships, Weapons, and Material; Prisoners of War; Tonkin Gulf Incident; and Miscellaneous.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Greek Philosophers represents an number of the most famous and influential ancient Greek philosophical texts, along with notes on translation and philosophical content. The texts selected represent a broad cross section of ancient Greek thinking on the nature of reality knowledge and moral virtue. Among the selections are fragments of the writings of the pre-Socratic thinkers Anaximander, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Democritus, and Anaxagoras; portions of Platos' dialogues Crito, Meno, Symposium, Republic, and Timaeous, and selections from Aristotle's De Anima, Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, parts of Animals and Posterior Analytics. The notes on translation assume an elementary knowledge of ancient Greek, (i.e. a familiarity with the basic vocabulary and syntax of Attic Greek) but the discussions of philosophical content assume no prior study of philosophy. Students will work through each of the book's sixteen chapters and acquire a detailed understanding of some of the most fascinating and seminal texts that have come to us from antiquity. The Greek Philosophers presents a selection of texts from the Presocratics, Plato and Aristotle, along with notes on language and content. It is designed to introduce the students at an early stage to his learning of Greek to philosophical ideas. This item is printed on demand.
