Little remains today of the writings of the archaic Greek poet Sappho (fl. late 7th and early 6th centuries B.C.E.), whose work is said to have filled nine papyrus rolls in the great library at Alexandria some 500 years after her death. The surviving texts consist of a lamentably small and fragmented body of lyric poetry--among them, poems of invocation, desire, spite, celebration, resignation, and remembrance--that nevertheless enables us to hear the living voice of the poet Plato called the tenth Muse. Stanley Lombardo’s translations give us a virtuoso embodiment of Sappho’s voic

A metaphoric excavation of the thought of the shadowy Greek philosopher, Leukippus, founder of atomic theory, which forms the basis of our modern age. For Leukippus, humanness was still a part of nature, not standing in contradiction to or superior to the nonhuman world. Humanity lived by the ordinances that ruled all things; ethics was implicit. Law was nourished by natural law. Although removed from the modern conception of the physical sciences, he sought ideas capable of comprehending the world and the mind, of understanding the whole, as well as each individual. The author justifies h

Everywhere anarchism is on the upswing as a political philosophy—everywhere, that is, except the academy. Anarchists repeatedly appeal to anthropologists for ideas about how society might be reorganized on a more egalitarian, less alienating basis. Anthropologists, terrified of being accused of romanticism, respond with silence . . . . But what if they didn’t?This pamphlet ponders what that response would be, and explores the implications of linking anthropology to anarchism. Here, David Graeber invites readers to imagine this discipline that currently only exists in the realm of
