Around 1958 Ukrainian emigres in the US came up with the idea of building a memorial to "Ukraine's Favorite Son" author Taras Shevchenko as a way of making a statement about their community and of the situation in their homeland. The campaign gained momentum and in 1960 Congress passed a bill which allocated land in Washington DC for the Ukrainians to build a statue. Platon Stasiuk a prominent Ukrainian-American businessman and treasurer of the Shevchenko Memorial Committee went to Ukraine in 1961 intent on taking back a container of soil from Shevchenko's grave to be placed under the monument in Washington. Expecting an appreciative committee he was instead met with rejection as his bringing the soil was viewed as a Soviet ploy. Disappointed Stasiuk published a book describing his experience and the Soviet media denounced the dismissal as hostility towards a friendly gesture. Stasiuk returned the soil to Ukraine and wrote a second account the current one in which he included numerous letters of support he had received for his initiative. By the Author paperback books

19932312665New York: Penguin Books 1993. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Good. Reprint. Faint crease to rear wrapper edges lightly toned. 1993 Trade Paperback. xxxi 237 pages. Translated by Hugh Tredennick & Harold Tarrant with introduction & notes by Harold Tarrant. "The trial and condemnation of Socrates 469-399 B.C. on charges of heresy and corrupting the minds of the young forms one of the most tragic episodes in the history of Athens in decline. Plato chose to set the four works of this volume despite their different subjects in the context of the events leading up to Socrates' execution. Euthyphro and Crito are typical Socratic dialogues showing the pungency of his mind in addressing the question of man's relationship with the gods and with society. The Apology is Plato's version of Socrates' speeches at his trial -- a brilliant and humorous manifesto for a life guided by self-responsibility though deliberately doomed to failure as a legal defence. In Phaedo Plato develops his own philosophy out of Socrates' calm confidence in the face of death." CONTENTS: Preface; General Introduction; Holiness -- Socrates in Confrontation: Euthyphro; Justice and Duty i -- Socrates Speaks at His Trial: The Apology; Justice and Duty ii -- Socrates in Prison: Crito; Wisdom and the Soul -- Socrates about to Die: Phaedo; Postscript: The Theory of Ideas in the Phaedo; Notes; Select Bibliography; Index.

19662312252Cleveland and New York: Meridian Books 1966. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Spine and wrappers rubbed. 1966 Trade Paperback. x 562 pp. "This book provides an introduction to Plato's work that gives a clear statement of what Plato has to say about the problems of thought and life. In particular it tells the reader just what Plato says and makes no attempt to force a system on the Platonic text or to trim Plato's works to suit contemporary philosophical tastes. The author also gives an account that has historical fidelity - we cannot really understand the Republic or the Gorgias if we forget that the Athens of the conversations is meant to be the Athens of Nicias or Cleon not the very different Athens of Plato's own manhood. To understand Plato's thought we must see it in the right historical perspective. Meridian Books paperback books

Edited by Wayne Somers. Introduction by Sven Peterson. "The Theaetetus is one of Plato's dialogues concerning the nature of knowledge written circa 369 BCE. In this dialogue Socrates and Theaetetus discuss three definitions of knowledge: knowledge as nothing but perception knowledge as true judgment and finally knowledge as a true judgment with an account. Each of these definitions is shown to be unsatisfactory. Socrates declares Theaetetus will have benefited from discovering what he does not know and that he may be better able to approach the topic in the future. The conversation ends with Socrates' announcement that he has to go to court to face a criminal indictment."--Wikipedia Union College paperback books
