Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010: Murray, Charles: 9780307453433: Amazon.com: Books
"In Coming Apart, Charles Murray explores the formation of American classes that are different in kind from anything we have ever known, focusing on whites as a way of driving home the fact that the trends he describes do not break along lines of race or ethnicity.
Drawing on five decades of statistics and research, Coming Apart demonstrates that a new upper class and a new lower class have diverged so far in core behaviors and values that they barely recognize their underlying American kinship"

(99+) Epicurean theology, A Reading of Philodemus treatise On Gods | Antonis Michailidis - Academia.edu
"The Epicureans, unlike the previous philosophers, approach the issue of divinity
differently. To them, the gods are not abstract concepts, but they have anthropomorphic
characteristics.

However, they consider the perception of the believers of that time about religion
and the gods to be wrong, because it is based on a wrong study and understanding of nature.
According to their point of view, this erroneous study of nature has led to the belief that natural
phenomena and events arise from the will of the gods (e.g. lightning is sent by Zeus) and they
attempt to free humans from these perceptions. They believe that the inability to explain natural
phenomena is what causes fear. Therefore, the popular perception about gods is wrong and
Homeric sayings are not in line with reality, because the feelings they attribute to the gods, such
as anger or envy, do not correspond to their inherent nature."

Can Palestine Survive?
"For the last three decades, Amira Hass has been charting the everyday practices of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Through her pioneering journalism and intricate knowledge of Palestinian life under occupation, she exploded the myth of the Oslo peace process by conveying how it has led to deepening occupation, the increasing expropriation of Palestinian territory, and the subordination and domination of Palestinians. This interview is focused on the period following Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack and Israel’s genocide in Gaza and expulsion plans, situated in the context of Oslo’s occupation regime and the destruction of Palestinian self-determination."

MYTH IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF A. F. LOSEV | Symbolic Thinking
"EVGENIA V. SAVELOVA, Far Eastern State University of Humanities, Khabarovsk, Russia
SAVELOVA, E. V.: Myth in the Philosophy of A. F. Losev FILOZOFIA 64, 2009, No 1, p. 39
Recommended reading from the page: http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/filozofia/2009/1/39-44.pdf
The article is devoted to myth as interpretated by Alexei F. Losev (1893–1988), an outstanding Russian philosopher and philologist. In his The Dialectics of Myth A. Losev aims at revealing the phenomenological and dialectical ways of the percep- tion of myths. Defining the myth through negation, Alexei Losev distinguishes six characteristics of a myth which, on his opinion, give an opportunity „to dissect a myth for its essence and meaning“ and formulate its positively philosophical defini- tion in the so called „formula of myth“."
