Plato is the best known, and continues to be the most widely studied, of all the ancient Greek philosophers. The updated and original essays in the second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Plato provide in-depth discussions of a variety of topics and dialogues, all serving several functions at once: they survey the current academic landscape; express and develop the authors' own views; and situate those views within a range of alternatives. The result is a useful state-of-the-art reference to the man many consider the most important philosophical thinker in history. This second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Plato differs in two main ways from the first edition. First, six leading scholars of ancient philosophy have contributed entirely new chapters: Hugh Benson on the Apology, Crito, and Euthyphro; James Warren on the Protagoras and Gorgias; Lindsay Judson on the Meno; Luca Castagnoli on the Phaedo; Susan Sauvé Meyer on the Laws; and David Sedley on Plato's theology. This new edition therefore covers both dialogues and topics in more depth than the first edition did. Secondly, most of the original chapters have been revised and updated, some in small, others in large, ways.

The Man Code: Being a Man of Purpose on Purpose is the accumulated knowledge of personal experience, deep observation, and spiritual discernment. There are many links that culminate men into becoming who they are for the good and the bad. The influences of present and absentee fathers are the dominant factors in men finding their purpose. The identification of the mother’s role is exemplified to achieve greater understanding about the contribution of the meaning of manhood. The reasons why men interact with others in the way they do—with both men and women and in relationships—will be discussed. There must be a reconstruction of the unfruitful antiquated codes of men based on mentalities of lingering boyhood. Ultimately, discovering the foundation, groundwork, development, and characteristics of true manhood paves the way so that men can live their life’s purpose.

Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA) was publicly launched as a think tank in March 2011 and took up the task of following a transdisciplinary approach to the research generated within the organisation. The projects initiated by MISTRA integrate various streams of knowledge and expertise when examining complex issues such as nation formation, economic growth, social equity, adaptable science and technology, and other strategic topics related to South Africa's development as a democracy. Serving in part as an intellectual movement and in part as a research institution, activities are structured around diverse topics that require the opening up of intellectual space for strategic research and reflection specific, but not exclusive, to the African continent. A project was launched: The concept and application of transdisciplinarity in intellectual discourse and research. The intent of the study was two fold: in the first place the need for better theoretical understanding of a transdisciplinarity approach was identified as a necessity; and in the second place MISTRA intended to apply transdisciplinarity towards the opening up of an African approach guided in part by the Afrikology principles of the late Professor Dani Nabudere. By orientation Transdisciplinarity is an approach that recognises a united and borderless intellectual terrain. It is an attempt to formulate an integrative process of knowledge production and distribution in reaction to the twentieth century narrow discipline focus and hyper-specialisation. It responds to the multi-layered challenges of diffused disciplines, interlinked socio economic problems, the impact of globalisation, the de-terretorialised nation state, technological advancements, environmental concerns, agriculture and food security and health. And it recognises that, in history, some of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in science and technology in fact happened on the margins of narrow disciplines.

In the past four decades, transdisciplinarity has gained conceptual and practical traction for its transformative value in accounting for the complex challenges besetting humankind, including social relations and natural ecosystems. The need to develop frameworks for joint problem-solving involving diverse stakeholders is unquestionable. Besides generating inclusivity, which embraces academia, civil society, and policymakers in the public and private sectors, transdisciplinarity allows for the appreciation of phenomena from a multiplicity of angles and affords societies creative ways of seeking solutions to challenges that may appear intractable. This book puts forward alternatives within this arena and attempts to directly respond to the multilayered challenges of diffuse disciplines, interlinked socioeconomic problems, impacts of globalization, technological advancements, environmental concerns, food security, and more.

The Bhagavad Gita is an ancient Sanskrit scripture with universal appeal that has been read for centuries, but its full meaning is little understood by Western culture. Even those with an encyclopedic knowledge of the Bible find it difficult to apply the Gitas practical lessons to daily living. Vijay Kumar Saxena unveils the mysteries of the text, including what it says about human nature and the supreme secret behind everything animate and inanimate in the universe. Learn what the Gita says about questions such as: Why do negative emotions often dominate our nature? Why do we behave as we behave? How can we convert our existential living into living with substance, meaning, and purpose? What is the universal truth of all religions? The author also explores whether there is a way to live life as naturally as a boat floats on a calm sea--cruising ahead and enjoying time with friends--with ample time to be who we want to be. Discover the powerful truths hidden in an ancient, sacred text and appreciate what it means to be human when you Feel the Bhagavad Gita.
