Dante's Inferno | Italian literature
Dante Alighieri was a politician from Florence who was caught in a great political divide in Medieval Italy. Speaking out against the pope would get him into so much trouble that he was sentenced to death. Dante chose to flee from Florence and spent a lot of time trying to mount an opposition against the leading parties there. However, his plans never materialized in the way he had hoped.
Forced away from the city he loved, Dante had no choice but to bury himself in books. While in exile, he wrote the monumental work "The Divine Comedy". Inferno is the first out of 3 parts.

Plato's allegory of the cave and "the good"
Просмотров 643 года назад
How can we differenciate between what's good and what's bad? All philosophers have wrestled with this question, and most of them have had very different answers. As we will see in this video, the pursuit of "the good" is almost synonymous with the pursuit of knowledge according to Plato. In ancient Greece, before Plato, the Sophists had for a long time been convinced that "man is the measure of...
Plato's theory of ideas | Ancient Greek Philosophy
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.3 года назад
Plato's theory of ideas, also known as the theory of forms, tries to explain how our ideas are the main substance of our reality - in contrast to countless other philosophers who believed it was something physical. Plato believed that our ideas inhabit a world which is separated from the one we live in, that they cast a shadow on our reality which is the more clouded and unclear world which we ...
He turned out to be right
O Level English 1970
Some contrary points: Isak is the first one to settle in the area but he is not hostile to people following him. In the end of the book he has ten households as neighbors, and he actually says that it is good. The ex-sheriff has a liking for Isak, and has capital from time to time. He does not care about the nature as such, more about the way people is living of it, or maybe the character of them. He is kind of a semi-god. Like Loke or Prometheus. He is not productive him self but he has resources. One of Isak’s sons goes to America. It’s a paradox that that is portrayed as the easy way, when the whole book is about the hard work of settlers. You can read the book as a story about a little USA in Norway. Anyhow, the book is too rich to be described in a few words.
Good job ❤❤
According to family history, Earl Maccus (a ancestor) killed Eric Bloodaxe at the request of the English King.
Richard II still gets the last stand award. He fights back and kills 2 of the hired thugs sent to kill him. The 1982 David Birney version does him one better and allows him to kills 3 of the hired thugs. His last stand rivals Macbeth's.
Thanks for this! Great refresher before class!
Great Stuff! God Bless
Thank you much appreciated God Bless and be safe
