Book excerpt: This epideictic oratory is dedicated to,Thespis of Icaria, the inventor of acting, the first actor, playwright, director, and producer in the worlds theater. My project is a classic drama style of political theater started in Greece thousands of years ago by Thespis of Icaria on the stage for demonstrating the political views of the Greek civilization. This revolution was passed on to the Romans in the Basilica and Supreme Court where Roman politicians communicate their political views to fellow Romans and Countrymen. Later, the revolution surfaced in England when John Milton, Christopher Marlow, and William Shakespeare started the classic British theater. In the contemporary period, America has carried on this tradition on the Senate Floor, and the House of RepresentativesCongress. The country has also generated talk show hosts, comedians, and moviemakers to carry on this tradition of political theater. I came across this idea while studying Masters of Arts in Liberal Arts at Sacramento State University in Sacramento California. Since then, I have been adapting history of the Greeks, Romans, Americans and other nations, into Greek style epideictic drama, distinctively reflecting the identities and political views of each nation through classic drama. Hoping to permanently retell the history of America, I have decided to use Aristotles theory of catharsis to rewrite Americas history through the locus of all presidents to have a permanent knowledge of Americas history. All the plays shall incorporate the principles of American politics, focusing on the values and virtues of the Conservatives and the Liberals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2024 Translation with Afterword of Hegel's Monumental work Lectures on Aesthetics/ Vorlesungen über die Ästhetik (1818 -1829) Over a decade, G.W.F. Hegel delivered a series of "Lectures on Aesthetics," which delved deep into the nature and significance of art in human experience. Hegel contends that art, like religion and philosophy, is a means through which the human spirit expresses its understanding of itself and its place in the world. Analyzing various art forms – from architecture and sculpture to painting and music – Hegel traces the historical evolution of artistic expression, culminating in the idea that in modern times, art, while still valuable, has been superseded by philosophy as the highest form of spiritual expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning religious, historical, and political themes, a new collection from the award-winning poet I think now more than half Of life is death but I can’t die Enough for all the life I see In Sometimes I Never Suffered, his seventh collection of poems, Shane McCrae remains “a shrewd composer of American stories” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Here, an angel, hastily thrown together by his fellow residents of Heaven, plummets to Earth in his first moments of consciousness. Jim Limber, the adopted mixed-race son of Jefferson Davis, wanders through the afterlife, reckoning with the nuances of America’s racial history, as well as his own. Sometimes I Never Suffered is a search for purpose and atonement, freedom and forgiveness, imagining eternity not as an escape from the past or present, but as a reverberating record and as the culmination of time’s manifold potential to mend.
