Perpetual Peace

Perpetual Peace

Author: Immanuel Kant

Before we can eliminate war, we should know exactly what it is and why we engage in it. Kant does a brilliant job in revealing this, along with the actions we should take. Mankind has been at war with one another since the beginning of time and has continually experienced its heartache and devastation. The vicious pattern will continue until we find a way to satisfy ourselves without the “benefit” of drenching our hands in blood. This is the challenge addressed in this work. It could contribute much toward peace if those with the ability to effect change should listen and act upon his ideas. Legislation is proposed within this book, including articles of law, for the world to consider.

Billions are spent on war every day, so this book is meant for world leaders and those working for peace.

Stolen Legacy

Subtitle: How the Wisdom of Ancient Egypt was Transformed into Greek Philosophy

Author: George James

James was a professor at a small black college in Arkansas during the 1950s when he wrote this book. He was an intellectual who studied African and European classics. He soon realized a mistake was made by Western scholars. James found that philosophy began almost entirely in ancient Egypt, not with the Greeks, and that the records of this had not only been distorted but, in many cases, deliberately falsified. He concluded there was no such thing as Greek philosophy because it was stolen from the Egyptians.

Even the famous Greek historian from the 5th century, Herodotus, admitted that the Greeks had borrowed many important ideas and concepts from the Egyptians. These ideas covered not just philosophy, but medicine, architecture, politics and more. This book, one of the first to be banned from US colleges, is meant to restore the truth about African contributions to higher thought and culture.
