Socrates on Trial


Book Description

More than 2,400 years after his death, Socrates remains an iconic but controversial figure. To his followers, he personified progressive Greek ideals of justice and wisdom. To his detractors, he was a corruptor of the young during wartime and one of the reasons Athens had suffered a humiliating defeat to Sparta in 404 BC. Socrates' story is one of historic proportions and his unyielding pursuit of truth remains controversial and relevant to the present day. Socrates on Trial presents the story of Socrates as told to us by Aristophanes, Plato, Xenophon, and others. The play uses fresh language to emphasize what is important in the works of these ancient authors, while at the same time remaining faithful to the general tenor and tone of their writings. Andrew Irvine has created a script that not only fits comfortably into the space of a single theatrical performance, but is also informative and entertaining. Suited for informal dramatic readings as well as regular theatrical performances, Socrates on Trial will undoubtedly appeal to instructors and students, and its informative introduction enhances its value as a resource. Complete with production and classroom notes, this modern recasting of the Socrates story will make riveting reading both inside and outside the classroom.




LIFE IS


Book Description

In an effort to restore a bit of sanity in a culture that is supposed to thrive on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness: I could no longer sit idly by and let chaos and mayhem rule over peace and harmony without attempting to be part of the solution; rather than part of the problem. My vision for GIFTED Incorporated is still in the very early stages and I hope that Life Is will free enough minds in order that what may appear to be a fantastic dream might one day become a wonderful reality. Humanity is a plural term and stewardship was meant for the many and not just the few. Working together collectively to ensure that no person is left behind and that every man, woman, and child is given the opportunity to reach there fullest potential with the talents afforded them is not the whim of a madman. None of what I have written is intended for the young and adolescent mind. It is the task of mature men and women to find ways to help them develop the art of making good choices by protecting them from the ignorance of making poor choices.

The Wizard of Oz and Philosophy


Book Description

From the bedtime story by L. Frank Baum to the classic 1939 film, no story has captured the imaginations of generations of children — and adults — like The Wizard of Oz. The story of Dorothy’s journey through Oz, the colorful characters, places, songs, and dialogue have permeated popular culture around the world. The contributors to this volume take a very close look at The Wizard of Oz and ask the tough questions about this wonderful tale. They wonder if someone can possess a virtue without knowing it, and if the realm of Oz was really the dream or if Kansas was the dream. Why does water melt the Wicked Witch of the West and why does Toto seem to know what the other characters can’t seem to figure out? The articles included tackle these compelling questions and more, encouraging readers to have discussions of their own.
