Librivox Recording



For several years before his death Professor William James cherished the purpose of stating his views on certain problems of metaphysics in a book addressed particularly to readers of philosophy. He began the actual writing of this 'introductory text-book for students in metaphysics,' as he once called it, in March, 1909, and to complete it was at last his dearest ambition. But illness, and other demands on his diminished strength, continued to interfere, and what is now published is all that he had succeeded in writing when he died in August, 1910. - Summary by Henry James, Jr.

Elements of Theology ♦ By PROCLUS ♦ (Philosophy) ♦

Title: Elements of Theology (or) Metaphysical Elements



Author: PROCLUS, translated by Thomas TAYLOR



Genre(s): Religion, Ancient, Philosophy



Language: English



Read By: Geoffrey Edwards



Librivox Recording



The Elements of Theology (ΣΤΟΙΧΕΙΩΣΙΣ ΘΕΟΛΟΓΙΚΗ) was written by the Greek Neoplatonist philosopher Proclus (ΠΡΟΚΛΟΣ) and translated by Thomas Taylor who named his youngest son Thomas Proclus Taylor. This book consists of 211 propositions, each followed by a proof, beginning from the existence of the One (divine Unity) and ending with the descent of individual souls into the material world. Saint Thomas Aquinas recognized that the Liber de Causis (Book of Causes), which had been attributed to Aristotle, was actually a summary of the Elements of Theology, likely written by an Arabic interpreter. - Summary adapted from Wikipedia by Geoffrey Edwards

Apology By Plato ♦ (Greek & Latin Antiquity) ♦ Full Audiobook

Apology By Plato ♦ (Greek & Latin Antiquity) ♦  Full Audiobook



Title:  Apology



Author:  PLATO (ΠΛΆΤΩΝ) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE)



Translated by:  Benjamin JOWETT (1817 - 1893)



Genre(s):  Classics (Greek & Latin Antiquity), Philosophy



Language:  English



Read By:  Phil Chenevert



The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defended himself in 399 BC against the charges of "corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel" . "Apology" here has its earlier meaning of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions. The general term apology, in context to literature, defends a world from attack (opposite of satire-which attacks the world).the text is written in the first person from Socrates' point of view, as though it were Socrates' actual speech at the trial. During the course of the speech, Socrates twice mentions Plato as being present. There is, however, no real way of knowing how closely Socrates' words in the Apology match those of Socrates at the actual trial, even if it was Plato's intention to be accurate in this respect - Summary by Wikipedia
