Summary:
This poetry collection is beautifully and skilfully read by the author, renowned poet Jackie Kay. May Day is the long-awaited new collection from one of our best-loved poets and former Makar of Scotland, Jackie Kay. As the title suggests, these poems cast an eye over several decades of political activism, from the international solidarity of the Glasgow of Kay’s childhood, accompanying her parents’ Socialist campaigns, through the feminist, LGBT+ and anti-racist movements of the 80s and 90s, up to the present day when a global pandemic intersects with the urgency of Black Lives Matter. Kay brings to life a cast of influential figures, delving beneath the surfaces of received narratives: the Jamaican model Fanny Eaton, for example, muse of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in England; Paul Robeson, Angela Davis and the poet Audre Lorde; and a ‘what-if’ poem concerning Rabbie Burns and a road-not-taken towards the West Indian slave trade. Woven through the collection is a suite of lyric poems concerning the recent losses of Kay’s parents: poems of grief and profound change that are infused with the light of love and celebration.

Título: Lo que se ve y lo que no se ve
Autor: Frédéric Bastiat
Narrador: Jorge Ramírez

Fecha de publicación: 05-16-2023

Resumen:
'Lo que se ve y lo que no se ve' es una expresión utilizada por el economista francés Frédéric Bastiat para ilustrar un importante concepto económico. Bastiat escribió un ensayo titulado 'Lo que se ve y lo que no se ve' en el que presenta su famoso principio. El principio básico detrás de 'Lo que se ve y lo que no se ve' es que, en cualquier acción o política económica, hay tanto efectos visibles como efectos invisibles. Por lo general, la gente tiende a considerar solo los efectos visibles y a pasar por alto los efectos invisibles. Bastiat argumenta que es necesario considerar tanto los efectos inmediatos y visibles de una acción como los efectos a largo plazo e invisibles. A menudo, las políticas pueden parecer beneficiosas a primera vista porque se pueden observar ciertos resultados positivos inmediatos, pero es importante analizar las consecuencias a largo plazo que pueden no ser tan evidentes. Un ejemplo común que utiliza Bastiat es el del vidriero. Si alguien rompe una ventana y se contrata a un vidriero para repararla, se puede observar que esto genera trabajo y beneficios para el vidriero. Sin embargo, lo que no se ve es que el dinero gastado en la reparación de la ventana ya no se puede utilizar en otras cosas, como comprar bienes o contratar servicios diferentes. Por lo tanto, hay un efecto invisible de oportunidad perdida. Este principio se aplica a una amplia gama de temas económicos y políticos. Bastiat argumenta que es necesario considerar tanto los efectos visibles como los invisibles para evaluar adecuadamente las políticas y las acciones económicas. Al hacerlo, se puede evitar caer en falacias económicas y tomar decisiones más informadas.

Title: Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Moral - Immanuel Kant
Author: Immanuel Kant
Narrator: Lian Johnson
Format: Unabridged

Language: English
Release date: 02-23-2023
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:
Immanuel Kant's Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals, also known as the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals, is a seminal work in ethical philosophy. In this text, Kant attempts to establish a foundation for morality that is based on reason and rationality rather than on feelings or consequences. The central idea in the text is the concept of the 'categorical imperative,' which is a principle that is binding on all rational beings regardless of their personal desires or goals. According to Kant, the categorical imperative is the ultimate test of moral action and serves as a guide for determining whether an action is morally right or wrong. Kant argues that the categorical imperative can be formulated in different ways, but the most famous version is the 'formula of universal law.' This formula states that one should act only according to the maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law. In other words, if you can imagine a world where everyone acts in the same way as you, and that world would still be morally acceptable, then your action is morally permissible. Kant also distinguishes between actions that are done from a sense of duty and those that are done from inclination. An action done from a sense of duty is one that is done solely because it is the right thing to do, not because it leads to any personal benefit or pleasure. Kant argues that only actions done from a sense of duty have moral worth and that actions done from inclination are merely praiseworthy but not necessarily moral. In addition, Kant emphasizes the importance of respecting human dignity and autonomy. He argues that human beings are inherently valuable and that they should never be treated merely as means to an end. Instead, they should always be treated as ends in themselves, which means that their dignity and autonomy should be respected and protected.

Release date: 02-23-2023
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:
Gorgias is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato, set in Athens in the early 5th century BC. The dialogue is named after the renowned Greek sophist Gorgias of Leontini, who is the main interlocutor in the conversation. The dialogue begins with a discussion about the nature of rhetoric and its relationship to truth. Socrates, the main protagonist of the dialogue, argues that rhetoric is merely a skill of persuasion, and that its practitioners do not necessarily possess knowledge of the subject matter they are discussing. Gorgias and his student Polus disagree, and argue that rhetoric can be used to achieve both knowledge and persuasion. The discussion then turns to the question of whether or not it is better to suffer injustice or to commit injustice. Socrates argues that it is better to suffer injustice than to commit it, and that it is always better to do what is right rather than what is expedient. Gorgias and Polus, however, disagree and argue that it is better to be the one who is in power and able to do as they please. The dialogue concludes with a discussion about the nature of happiness and whether or not it can be achieved through the pursuit of power and wealth. Socrates argues that true happiness comes from living a life of virtue and wisdom, rather than from external circumstances such as wealth and power. Overall, Gorgias is a profound exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of philosophy, including the nature of truth, justice, and happiness. It remains one of Plato's most famous and influential works, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of philosophy.

Format: Unabridged

Language: English
Release date: 02-20-2023
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: History, Ancient Civilizations

Summary:
The History of the Peloponnesian War is a historical account of the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), which was fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens). It was written by Thucydides, an Athenian historian who also served as an Athenian general during the war. His account of the conflict is widely considered to be a classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The History is divided into eight books. Analyses of the History generally occur in one of two camps. On the one hand, some scholars such as J. B. Bury view the work as an objective and scientific piece of history. The judgment of Bury reflects this traditional interpretation of the History as 'severe in its detachment, written from a purely intellectual point of view, unencumbered with platitudes and moral judgments, cold and critical.' On the other hand, in keeping with more recent interpretations that are associated with reader-response criticism, the History can be read as a piece of literature rather than an objective record of the historical events. This view is embodied in the words of W. R. Connor, who describes Thucydides as 'an artist who responds to, selects and skillfully arranges his material, and develops its symbolic and emotional potential.

Summary:
The Communist Manifesto (German: Kommunistisches Manifest), originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), is a political pamphlet written by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London in 1848, the Manifesto remains one of the world's most influential political documents.

In the last paragraph of the Manifesto, the authors call for a 'forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions', which served as a call for communist revolutions around the world. In 2013, The Communist Manifesto was registered to UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme along with Marx's Capital.
