Masters of Atlantis best price !

Overview


Lamar Jimmerson is the leader of the Gnomon Society, the international fraternal order dedicated to preserving the arcane wisdom of the lost city of Atlantis. Stationed in France in 1917, Jimmerson comes across a little book crammed with Atlantean puzzles, Egyptian riddles, and extended alchemical metaphors. It's the Codex Pappus - the sacred Gnomon text. Soon he is basking in the lore of lost Atlantis, convinced that his mission on earth is to administer to and extend the ranks of the noble brotherhood. Masters of Atlantis is a cock eyed journey into an America of misfits and con-men, oddballs, and innocents.

Sati Pariksha

This is a classic tale of how a woman's true devotion and faith can change the harshest of fate and written destiny. Once King Kirti Sen gets trapped in a storm and gets grivieoulsy injured. He is nursed back to health by a poor Brahman. One day Kriti Sen meets Chitragupta's help Vidhatri who tell him that the Brahman's son will die at the age of seven from a snake bite during his weeding. Kirti Sen is disturbed by the news and makes all arrangements to make sure that the Brahman's son survives. But despite Kirti Sen's best efforts the boy dies of a snake bite. Kirti Sen asks the Brahman to not burn the boy's body for an year so that he can find a way to bring back the dead boy. Meanwhile a Princess's named Anjana argues with her father on the matter of fate versus faith which leads to her father's wrath. The King makes her marry a leper and banishes her from the Kingdom. Ironically the leper is none other than Kirti Sen who failed in his attempts to being back the snake that bit the Brahmans son. Now both souls who are defying fate at their will, pose a threat to the writings of Chitragupta. Chitragupta and Vidhatri must now plan to prove their point that no human is true master of their fate. How will Kirti Sen and Anjana survive the tests put forth them? Can they succeed in proving that fate can be changed with faith?

"What a little treasure this DVD is! I was looking forward to viewing this DVD, as I am of Greek descent and have visited the beautiful island of Santorini many times. I also enjoy regional Greek Cuisine and found the
recipes and techniques in this DVD very intriguing and I think easily adaptable for the home chef. The bonus section at the end showcases various cheeses and herbs of Santorini, and is definitely a visual treat for the most die-hard foodie!

Interspersed among the cookery class and food tips are scenes of the natural beauty of the island, and glimpses of a tradional Greek Island wedding. I really liked the personal story and felt like I was experiencing the culture of Santorini. Additionally, the scenery is so gorgeous!!!"

Dr. Michael Walker: Part 3/8 Lessons from Global Experience for Health Care Reform in The Bahamas

If you are concerned about the effects of government-run healthcare services, you should have been at the Nassau Institute's Symposium on June 21, 2007. Michael Walker PhD. Probably the world's foremost authority on the subject laid out for Bahamians what they can look forward to if The Blue Ribbon Commission's plan for health care is followed. It is not good news. We were particularly impressed by his expression of wonderment that the Bahamian government could even consider adopting a plan, the defects of which are now thirty-five years later, well documented. Dr. Walker is well-known in libertarian circles for the expression, "if it matters, measure it". That is exactly what he and his colleagues at the Fraser Institute have done in their research on "How Good is Canadian Healthcare".

5 Cocktails To Drink When Keeping That Rockin Body Is A Must

When you're out with your friends and everyone's drinking and you decide you want a drink, have a drink that won't end up destroying all your weight loss hard work. This article is dedicated to helping you find the best drinks when your out with friends. We will skip all the boring reasons and scientific research into why it is you shouldn't drink especially if you're trying to lose weight and get fit, and focus rather on what to do when you have decided to go ahead and have a cold one.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know when you have had too much to drink and damage is done. Generally your body lets you know the next day with a serious hangover. When this happens it always seems that the best possible remedy is a greasy calorie loaded meal that is of course detrimental to anyone trying to lose weight and get fit. However you need to be realistic and know that having a drink occasionally is not so bad, after all a good drink has the ability to relieve a little stress, calm you down, and lift up your mood. Caution though is needed when you decide to drink as not all drinks are created the same. This is similar to the food that you choose to eat or not to eat, not all food is created equal, while some of it can be okay other types of food need to be avoided at all times, the same would be true for certain cocktails.

Being prepared ahead of time so that when a scenario is put before you that will more than likely end up in a way that could be bad you will have already had the knowledge and wisdom to know what to avoid or what to choose. When you read on further you will learn of the five best drinks and why they are okay. They're okay for you not because they are low cost or because they taste really good but for health-related reasons and how they affect your body. This should be primary concern for anyone who's losing weight and getting in shape knowing the reasons why their good and how they affect your health will make a difference.

One of the best types of cocktails to drink is actually one that most people are familiar with and drink on a regular basis. Many things have been written about red wine, from the high antioxidant levels to how it can even help with small stomachaches. I believe there are even a few scriptures in the Bible that talk about having a little bit of wine is good for the stomach.

Since red wine is what's mentioned in this article specifically do not wrongly assume that white wine is not equally if not better for your body. The research that has been done shows almost in every case that both wines offer health benefits. The really interesting fact as of late is that actually white wine has a little bit higher antioxidant level as well as being somewhat more beneficial in other health areas. What all this research really means is that for the health-conscious you cannot go wrong if you're going to drink a cocktail by choosing wine.

Skipping over the pond (the Atlantis that is) and landing on a little island that seems to be best known for pubs and shamrocks as well as their rich fool bodied beers is Ireland. Ireland seems to be synonymous with its most popular mass produced beer Guinness Stout. The Irish saying about Guinness is that it is just as much of the meal as it is a drink. Guinness as being a healthy cocktail choice may sound like a complete contradiction since when you have one you feel like you had a brick to drink. However that is the reason why Guinness is a healthy choice because one of those beers can fill you up as much as a 12 pack of Bud. What else is surprising is that Guinness is quite low in calories and carries a fairly high iron content which makes it one of the best mass-produced beers you can drink.

If you're not much of a beer person but are more of a hard liquor person drinking top shelf alcohol of any kind straight on the rocks or with water is not a bad way to go. Why the recommendation of top shelf alcohol which may seem more expensive is recommended is because usually the cheap stuff leaves many kinds of impurities and bad tastes which lend it to being blended and mixed with sodas or juices. Top shelf alcohol is made not to be combined with anything else but usually to be enjoyed by itself therefore limiting the caloric impact it can have on your body.

If you're the kind of person that loves liquor over beer or wine but feel that you may need just a little something splashed in to your drink besides water or just simply on the rocks your best bet is a vodka soda. A vodka soda should not to be confused with a vodka tonic as tonic water is not really good because it's high in sugar and calories. Why soda over tonic, is because soda water is basically water that's been carbonated with no additional calories or sugars of any kind. Mixing together a little vodka, soda water, and a touch of lime juice creates a light and refreshing simple cocktail that's easy to make and easy on your body.

Last but not least is really for those that love beer and love different types of beer. For those that are not too keen on Guinness, microbrews offer a great alternative. You might find yourself scratching your head as to why a micro brewed beer is better than a mass-produced beer and the answer to this question is actually quite simple.

Beers that are massed produced usually rank well in price and seem to win every time against micro-brewed beer. The reason for this is that the ingredients that are used in these beers generally are of lower quality while at the same time using lower grade ingredients like artificial flavorings and colors as well as a lot of other junk. The micro brews as an alternative on the other hand stick to European codes when they're being made so they end up using natural ingredients and no artificial flavorings or any other junk. These are a few reasons as to why this type of beer is a good choice on the list of top 5 cocktails.

Sticking with these five cocktails as your drink of choice when you're out with friends will go a long way in helping you reduce calories and maintain good sound health. When you feel like you need a drink don't be nervous about the repercussions. With any of these alternatives is a great way to relieve some stress feel satisfied and rest assured that the choice you made is a good one.

Scott & Sean- Q&A- Ep. 11

(0:55)- Toby Manley Hi Scott My names Toby and I have a question about basic carbs. I'm 6ft and i weigh about 11.5 stone. I've been going to the gym for about 6 months and recently i was offered a free 'nutrition seminar' by a personal trainer. He basically tried to get me to spend £300 a month on his training, but more importantly, he said to build muscle quickly and tone you can't eat pasta, rice, potato or bread of any kind. Is this correct? I only ever eat wholewheat bread/pasta/rice anyway. I don't have a lot of money and foods like bread and wholewheat pasta/ rice are affordable and give me energy when I work out. You said yourself that you enjoy bagels and peanut butter in one of your nutrition videos so I'm hoping this trainer is wrong. I'm quite a lean individual and I have a six pack but it's not super defined, so should I cut out on bread etc to get more definition? (8:05)- Shridhar TM Hey Scott Let me introduce myself first, my name is Shridhar n 'm from Bangalore, India. I am just like one of 1000s u might have met who has that elusive dream about having a six packs..... I stand 165cms and weighed over 80kgs a couple of years back. With lot of dedication and determination, I was successful in losing that extra weight and now I am about 58Kgs, however I'm still not happy, coz now I look skinny and a lot of weight training n protein supplements have not helped me get my dream body. I am so obsessed with six packs and have put my heart n soul and tried ...

The Extraterrestrial Imperative - Why Survivors From Earth Must Soon Escape to Free Space

If you could ask one question of an alien visitor to Earth, what would it be? Ellie Arroway, the protagonist of Contact astronomer Carl Sagan's novel 1997, this question might be: "How did you do How do they evolve, how to survive this technological adolescence without destroying yourself?"

Ask yourself this question: how could it? If you're like a lot of land, the response will include topics about the wisdom, world peace and foodhunger. But the question is back. Not survive space travel. To travel into space to survive. Or, as science fiction author Larry Niven said, "became the extinct dinosaurs, because they have no space program."

Perhaps you are familiar with the biblical notion of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Is conquest, war, famine and death. They have always chased the earth, but not all at the same time. Let me explain:

Life on earth is the support systemfailing. You may want to discuss if it is too hot or too cold, and the cause of the two, but my information tells me that the drought that is occurring in all the world's food baskets at the same time. Food reserves of the earth have fallen from 47.9 million tons in 2005 to 27.4 million tonnes in 2009. Energy prices, which carry the rest is directed, not down. Even if we deny that the Earth's average temperature is increasing or that the severity, duration and frequency of storms on the rise,it is still true that more people live near sea coasts and that their numbers and lack of preparation and mobility leads to phenomenal death rates when a storm surge arrives.

Wealth is concentrating. It was always true locally. Now it's true globally, which means there is no escape. It's most dramatically apparent in items like luxury yachts. At Sunseeker, a U.K. boat builder, production of smaller boats fell off by a third after the 2008 crash. Sales of the company's premium products, vessels over 130 feet in length, surged.

Opportunities are vanishing. That is true whether a job or small business formation is the objective. Manufacturing jobs exist primarily where labor is cheap. Transportation of manufactured goods is inexpensive enough to make use of cheap labor feasible on a global scale. If you can't find a job with a large manufacturer, maybe you can start your own small business, but you will need to find a market niche so small that it will escape the attention of the larger factories. Small business cannot succeed in the shadow of the megacorporation. Think of Wal-Mart and downtown retail in America. Even innovation fades in the absence of a frontier to create fresh needs. Think of barbed wire and the Great Plains, of the beginnings of transoceanic navigation and the chronometer, or of space flight and the small digital computer. Such drivers of invention have all but disappeared.

Labor is cheap. It's what Ebenezer Scrooge (Charles DIckens, 1843, A Christmas Carol) called "the surplus population". It describes unneeded hands, hands that are easy to replace.

Life is cheaper. It is a relatively common practice to make choices about legalistic issues like safety and compensation for loss based on projected lifetime earnings (which can only be based on what you currently earn, or on your station in life).

There are more, and worse, epidemics. The mathematics of population biology instructs us that there is a minimum population below which a disease cannot reach epidemic proportions. That number depends on the removal rate (how fast people die or recover) and on the contact rate (how often we shake hands, figuratively speaking.) The very fact that there is a critical population below which a disease will die out tells us that the larger the global population becomes, the more kinds of diseases can reach epidemic stage. With increasing population, a greater number of lethal diseases can spread beyond their point of origin. In a global community with fast transport, even a small population is susceptible.

Biodiversity is in decline. This is true in the agrisphere, the man-made part of the biosphere, as well as in the natural world. Humans derive about 75% of their nutrition from just four species of engineered plants. Meanwhile, the wild plants which gave rise to those created varieties are disappearing under the plow and the grader.

The zero-sum perception of economics is commonplace. In the current circumstances, it is easy to think, and probably largely true, that every gain by an individual, a business, or a nation comes at the expense of another. It is the logical basis of crime, conquest, and war.

Large industries are naturally risk-averse, leading to slow technological progress. I'm not talking about the cheap-to-make variants of existing technology like iPhones and flash drives. I'm talking about the kind of massive and massively expensive tooling required to manufacture automobiles, for example. The tooling used to build internal combustion engines, or to form metal body shapes, is specialized. New technologies would require scrapping that investment and starting over. In the absence of a frontier, where every industry is a startup, it is far cheaper to buy the rights to new technology and shelve the idea than it is to produce it.

This network of interacting crises has attracted the attention of political opportunists and their academic apologists. The agenda of the self-appointed illuminati among us is based on the insights of Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich, who published The Population Bombin 1976, and The Population Explosionin 1990. Here are the premises:

Earth contains an insufficiency of everything -- fossil fuels, raw materials, arable land, fresh water, buildable land -- to provide everyone born into the world with a 20th century U.S. standard of living, which is what we all want. Logic dictates that the equilibrium wage, meaning the global standard, will be a Third World wage.

The impact of human lives on the planet in terms of energy use, pollution, waste disposal, etc., can be reckoned as a qualitative equation,

Impact = Population x Affluence.

The equation means that the the exorbitant birth rates of the "developing" world produce large numbers of individuals, who, however, do not pollute much because they are poor. People of the developed nations, though fewer in number, use more energy, pollute more, and generate more garbage.

In the progressive view, better living conditions reduce birth rates. This view is not universally accepted.

Population control skews the age distribution to the right. Fewer births and fewer deaths mean more old people.

And the final premise: If you are a member of the elite, none of the above applies to you.

Those are the five axioms of enclosure-centric thinking. In terms of policy, this is what they mean; perhaps you will recognize some of it:

In order to preserve the Earth for future generations ("of aristocrats" is the implicit thought here), the developed world, and Americans in particular, must abandon their expectations of continued affluence.

In order to decrease population growth in the developing world, we must improve the developing world's standard of living.

In order to lessen the burden of useless old age on reduced numbers of younger workers, we must ration technological life extension for most older citizens.

Here we assume that attrition alone will be sufficient to control the surplus population. If not, more aggressive means may be considered.

The experimental efforts of Dr. John Calhoun at Johns Hopkins University and at the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) during the middle part of the 20th century supply clues to what is happening in the world and what will happen next, regardless of any policies of a global illuminati. Calhoun worked with rats and mice in enclosed spaces varying in size from a single room to a quarter acre. The colonies would start with perhaps a few dozen rodents, who, for all their lives, would live under ideal circumstances, wanting for nothing, dwelling in rat paradise. Calhoun identified several noteworthy behaviors in his subjects.

As their number grew, the animals would periodically crowd a specific feeding station, one of several, the rest being virtually abandoned. Calhoun called this the "behavioral sink".

At first rarely, and then with increasing frequency, apparently normal males in the crowd would attack juveniles, females, or lower-status males. The less aggressive animals, both males and females, withdrew, the females to the highest nesting boxes on the enclosure walls, the males to the enclosure floor.

Some of the male exiles invited attack from dominant males by hovering too near the nesting boxes. They were identifiable by their matted fur and their scars. Calhoun named them "probers" for their unique behavioral aberration. At night, squads of probers would surprise the watch, invade the nesting boxes, and devour the young

Other males, whom Calhoun dubbed "the beautiful ones," lost interest in all social activities and spent their time obsessively grooming themselves. Those animals never found mates.

As things progressed, the attacks of the probers saturated the normal males' defense of the ramps to the nesting boxes. Females augmented the defense, but their aggressive behavior transferred to the young, whom they killed, perhaps accidentally, and then ate.

The population successfully weaned fewer and fewer young. Its age distribution skewed into senescence (most of the survivors having lived beyond reproductive age). Their numbers never reached more than 80% of the enclosure's capacity, as measured by the number of nesting boxes. Only a few aging animals were left at the end of the experiments. In each case, the population would have died out completely if the study had not been terminated.

So what is the mechanism of destruction? It is that outcasts cannot leave, as they leave rodent populations in the wild. In nature, they decamp, and they either die or find a more suitable situation elsewhere. If enclosed, they go to war, competing by destroying their competitors.

Do rats provide a representative analog of human behavior? I believe that they do, but that is not a popular viewpoint. When Calhoun died in 1995, his obituary in The New York Times reported that he had suffered frustration about his work "...because its implications for the future of the human rat race were often met with studied disregard."

Calhoun himself misinterpreted his results as the effects of crowding, believing that population density is a major factor in the behavior of inner-city gangs, for example. Social psychologists pointed out, however, that certain Asian cities where gang crime is less of a problem have higher population densities than places like New York or Philadelphia, where gangs dominate. The reason for the difference turns out to be that Hong Kong and Shanghai are populated by numbers of transient merchants who come into the city to sell their products, and then return to their farms in the countryside. These populations are not enclosed. However, where residents cannot leave, or cannot imagine leaving, enclosure exists and acts on people as on rats.

At this point in human history, the entirety of planet Earth has become enclosed, and the effects of enclosure are making headlines. The news behind the headlines is that the population of Earth lacks a frontier, and that lack is killing us.

To explain why Alaska, or the oceans, are not frontiers, consider the definition of the term "frontier", a vastness with the following three properties:

A frontier has wealth without proprietors. Nobody owns it. Nobody owns the mineral wealth or other kinds of wealth in it. Everything is free for the taking, or at least, no one is able to stop the taker. And, of course, it does have wealth, far more than just enough to live off the land.

A frontier has Isolation. It is not materially connected to home. It is separated by a barrier that forbids access, except to the bravest, the most determined. The example of America proves instructive. The first half of the 1940s was the last time the American continent was isolated enough from European powers to inhibit their attack upon the United States. Travel time then was about three days by fast ship. Isolation is a matter of time, not distance.

A frontier offers anonymity to all comers. Social class, position, degrees, certificates, records, and family status matter less, if at all. Every pair of capable hands is needed and wanted to tame the wilderness. Even past criminality can be forgiven, to a point.

Virtually every spot on Earth is owned or claimed by a nation willing and able to defend it for economic or military reasons. Every point on Earth is within 20 minutes flight time of a ballistic missile. Every point on Earth is connected to the same stressed ecosystem. Nowhere on Earth welcomes refugees anymore. There are no frontiers left on Earth.

Metaphysical realms are a poor bet. "God helps those who help themselves," said Benjamin Franklin. In a similar statement of faith, Heinricherson Faust, the scientist hero of Goethe's play Faust, frees himself from a pact with the Devil through practical, dirty-handed struggle. (At the end of Act V: "He who strives on and lives to strive/ Can earn redemption still".). Intelligent design is efficient design. We can expect no future miracle of salvation because that miracle has already occurred. God has given us the tools to save ourselves: a mind and a spirit capable of conceiving the technologies to enter space.

Princeton physics professor Gerard K. O'Neill called space "The High Frontier" in his 1976 book by the same name. In it, he gave what he called an "existence proof" that humans could build and live comfortably on colonies in space, independently of the Earth, but benefiting the home planet in many ways: clean solar power delivered to the Earth in virtually unlimited quantities, new hope for an exciting and affluent future, new markets, inventions stemming from the needs of the new environment, and openings for technologies and political systems that would could not be permitted to challenge the status quo on Earth.

The nation that does this gets far more, but, perhaps most significantly, it gets the military high ground, justifying the expense of it all (about $200 billion a year over 15 years) by the simple expedient of diverting funds from conventional and failing military efforts to space colonization and industrialization, with all that it implies.

For our trouble, we also get truly isolated facilities to handle any strains of microbial life we may find in space, high vacuum, low temperature, and zero gravity (all valuable industrial resources expensive or impossible to obtain on Earth, but free in space), exciting and profitable work, a reduction in social pressure for crime and terrorism on Earth, and, like Atlantis, Camelot, and America in their time, the next "Land of Wonders".

The obstacles:

Cost, but not so much. We could more than do this work for a fraction of the money squandered on the military and social futilities of the United States Government alone.

Technological barriers, but not so much. No breakthroughs in physics, materials science, propulsion, or structures are required. At least one (carbon nanotube wire for the cables of space elevators) would be useful. Closed-cycle life support might be a particularly instructive challenge. We will need solid engineering.

Cowardice. We will need to take some risks, including the risk of using nuclear propulsion. A sufficient number will be willing to take these risks. The rest will be unwilling to name their deficiency, and will be silenced by it.

Communication/Education. This is the most difficult work of all, and the work left to what are typically the weakest minds. About 4% of the U.S. population already get it, according to an admittedly old copy of the Space Activist's Handbook. We can start with that.

Legal/Political Barriers. The Outer Space Treaty, the Moon Agreement, and the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty are examples. Like the treaties themselves, this speed bump is worth mentioning only in a historical context.

For the first time in their history, Americans are afraid. They are the worst kind of afraid, with a cold, hopeless, debilitating fear rather than the hot sense of urgency which has driven them to vigorous action in the past. Too many believe they must not see what cannot exist according to the gospel of sustainable development: that there is a third path that avoids both environmental disaster and dreadful losses of sovereignty and prosperity. What we do not yet see in America is that the world needs an exit, and that the only way out is up. When we do, we will begin to end the dark age that began when frontiers disappeared from the Earth a hundred years ago and we embarked upon a desperate and futile attempt to address that loss with a specious philosophy of political altruism and all manner of the wrong stuff.

Edgar Cayce - 5

Edgar Cayce (March 18, 1877 January 3, 1945) (pronounced / keɪsi ː /) is an American who was believed [by whom?] To be psychic. It is said [by whom?] That has demonstrated the ability to channel answers to questions on topics such as health or Atlantis, while in a self-induced trance. Though Cayce considered himself a devout Christian and lived before the rise of New Age, some believe was the founder of the movement and had influence in their teaching. [1] Cayce became aCelebrities at the end of his life and the publicity given to his prophecies has overshadowed what to him were usually considered the most important parts of their work, such as healing (the vast majority of his readings were given to people who were sick) and theology (Cayce was a member for life, dedicated to the Disciples of Christ). Skeptics [2] question the claim that Cayce demonstrated psychic abilities, and traditional Christians also question his unorthodox answers on religionissues (such as reincarnation and Akashic records). Today there are thousands of Cayce students, more than 300 books written by Edgar Cayce, Edgar Cayce members worldwide [1] and found Edgar Cayce Centers in 35 countries.

Utopian Thinking - From Plato to Ibsen and O'Neill

This paper tries to present a reconstructive interpretation wishful thinking, as seen in the works of Ibsen and O'Neill had to present their ideas. Utopia has its roots in classical and Christian beliefs. The ideal city based on reason comes from the Greeks and the idea of ​​deliverance through a Messiah is a Christian. Most of the stories of utopia in the West tend to begin with Plato and his Republic. For Plato, the Utopia is the ideal city, perfect,complies with its political, social and spatial. In the Republic, this state is described as a place where you need the goodness and justice, some of the functions and virtues that some are more important and higher than others, and some needs take precedence. In this state, philosophers are at the top of the social hierarchy and is supported by the base class for the kind of work. So this is the spatial hierarchy of the city. Then he created a state in his "idea" or mind:"We will begin or create a mood, however, the true creator is necessity, who is the mother of our invention" (Plato, 61). Then described, in fact, gave a picture of primitive life on the other hand, asked them to keep an eye to poverty and war (ibid. 62). In this dialogue, Glaucon, frankly rejected the state and called it a "city of pigs". "But this is a picture of a city of pigs, yes, Socrates, and if you were to give a city of pigs, how could feed thebeasts? "(Ibid., 369 to 72), which has been called, as well as luxury." People need to be comfortable are accustomed to lie on sofas, tables and dining out, and should have sauces and sweets in the modern style "(ibid. 373). Socrates is a representative of Plato and his ideal and ideas, and Glaucon seems to be a representative of the 19 th and 20 nineteenth-century man. I knew what was happening in the future. It seems that if Plato wishes to his ideals into realitylife. He was aware of both. He himself confessed that it was "true and healthy" is just an ideal in mind. In fact, Plato was playing a real state. Arriving at the choice of a tutor, has chosen a nobleman, "is not the noble young man like a dog for good behavior with respect to monitoring and observation?" (Ibid., 375) the question of education, then, was considered. As Glaucon moved the Platonic idea of ​​a pig in a city of luxury, Plato began to drift deeper questions of humanity. For what you paid foreducation, of course, the most important need to protect the city of luxury and unpredictable man. And "more likely that Plato is immersed in high ideals and noble thing.

He gave his famous parable in the seventh book, where he played a real state, Greece, Athens, his hometown, desires and pride. This parable was given for the future, for the modern man, which are far from the ideals of life and very close to real life. The truth never dies and can neverbe ignored. Make a utopia does not mean a city, including the best of comfort, and the guardians of the nobility, however, does not mean that man. All the "isms" you can not define the man and the reality of their existence. If and only if the man had experienced the reality of man is the greatest truth about man. This is the cry of modern man.

As the Renaissance was a return to 'Greek humanism, "Platonic conception had any influence on architects and thinkers of this era. Classic orPlatonic conception of the ideal or utopia was fixed and static, it assumes an immutable order, and the parameters are the same in all ages. The principles of reason have been used in the arts and scientific rationality. However, some authors tend gradually to express the protest of the human soul utopia based on reason.

In the sixteenth century, Thomas More wrote his famous work called Utopia, Utopia dates modern utopia of Thomas More (1516). Today is Greekand Christian roots. For more, utopia, the place is good for nothing (as outopia utopia).

It seems that in all times and in all societies people tend to Paradise or the Golden Age, a time and place where no pain, all live in freedom and happiness. There are some popular images of the earth and Schlaraffenland Cockaygne, places where people went to live with joy and does her bidding. There Dorados The Shangri Las and where people live in peace and harmony. But these are notUtopia. For more, utopia has to walk with the current realities. It looks as if trying to create an image of a well and a perfect society.

In the seventeenth century that we have found some great utopian works such as Sun City Bell (1623), Christianopolis Andreae (1619), Bacon's New Atlantis (1627), while its high reputation among European men of letters. However, in eighteenth-century satire of Jonathan Swift and Gulliver is refuted in writingOn the Road (1726), adds the anti-utopian utopia or dystopia tradition. We can trace the influence of the great utopias soon. Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Samuel Butler's Erewhon Evegeny We Zamyatin, as Kumar has in his article that "the pride of human reason" (67).

As Kumar cites in his article entitled "Aspects of Western utopian tradition" in the Renaissance, and revived the utopian ideas have their roots in Greek. Until the eighteenth century,elements such as science and technology have added the concept of utopia and the subject of the ideal city. In fact, the age of reason (1600-1800) Plato's lost its popularity and abandoned him and his rationalist metaphysics. But after the French and industrial revolutions inspired by the imminent possibility of utopia. However, it was a kind of utopia based on scientific analysis, a company created by modern science and modern industry. Utopia has been idle for a "time, because of racethe social sciences. They interpreted the utopia through science and logic (67).
Consequently, we consider the classical ideal city invented by the Greeks as the "prehistoric" or "unconscious" of the modern utopia. Modern utopias, rooted in the majority are heathens. They are designed to create a society without the light of divinity, just by human reason and rationale. Republic, however, there was a philosophical sketch (ibid. 70).

According to this article, utopia has become the waynovel in the eighteenth century. During this time we find two types of theories, utopian social theory represented in Rousseau's Social Contract and Owen, "Fourier" and the writings of Marx and utopian political theory highlighted in the Leviathan of Hobbes and Locke, Two Treatises of Government (ibid. 73).

Some scientists like Charles Darwin and Emile Zola offered revolutionary theories. Literary naturalism is derived from a biological model has its origin in Darwin and his theory ofevolution. Emphasis is placed on the theories of heredity and environment. According to Richard Lehane "Darwin has created an environment that has made a convincing naturalism to explain the nature of reality in the late nineteenth century" (46). However, before Darwin's ideas are available in literature, had to be transformed by Emil Zola. Zola believes that a novelist is like a scientist observes nature and society and rejects the supernatural and the absolute standard of morality. All reality couldexplained biologically. Controlled by heredity and environment, man was the product of his temperament in a social context (ibid. 47). Consequently, while the naturalistic novel presupposes the reality of evolution, often works in terms of devolution, degeneration and decay are based on the fiction of a personal nature (ibid. 50). Zola believes that the same forces that determined the individual were at work in society. But modern man had been transferred from the environment, the losscontact and relationship with his instincts and being. Lehane says in his article that the money and bureaucracy had replaced the workings of nature and natural feelings. As civilization became more and more pronounced, the company has become increasingly corrupt. Realism / Naturalism as a literary movement depended on showing how a new business process / Industrial had broken the ancient rhythms of the earth and set in motion a social process (ibid. 61). The question is whether the realism / naturalismwas an American equivalent or not. There is a connection between Norris and Zola, Balzac, and Dreiser. They shared historical moment and have been the scene of his novels in the industrial world. As a way of presenting a literary reality, naturalism has dominated from 1870-1890 in Europe and America from 1890 until the end of World War II (62).

Technology has been a central element in the history of Western modernization. As Pippin said there is "an increasing reliance on technologyproduction of goods, services, information processing, communication, education, health and public administration "(185). This dependence, Pippin also argues, it is expected and accepted by the early founders of modernity (Bacon and Descartes), and finally became a reality in the second half of the nineteenth century (185). This growing reliance on technology has created a series of political problems.

As mentioned in the Norton Anthology of AmericanLiterature, when the wars broke out, have changed the world. World War I erupted in 1914 when England and France were fighting Germany. The United States in 1917 went to war with Britain and France. Most of the U.S. population was of English and German after the war encouraged the country to return to the ways of life before the war. However, for others this fall in Europe has shown the inadequacy of the old sociallife. In the collapse of the stock market in 1929 was an economic depression. Do not over until the Second World War. In this war, Japan and Germany have fought against the United States. The war ended in 1945. Why the United States has become an industrial society and a world power. The United States therefore has become a modern nation. In recent decades, American writers recorded all the struggles and debates about war and history. An anticipated futureutopias. They hope to build an ideal city, but others believe that "the old ways would not work for New Times" (1071). They were thinking of creating something new. In fact, in the twenties and thirties, the pace of urbanization, industrialization and immigration accelerated. The pace of technology and accelerated science, morality, justice, virtue and it has been crushed under the wheels of their own.

According to the Norton Anthology of American Literature, Communism andor other forms of radical politics, so common in the decades between the wars have their ideology through the writing of the German Karl Marx (1818-1883). Marx identified the root of human behavior in the economy. He said the industrial companies that have divided into two classes: the capitalists against the workers. For him, ideas and ideals of every society has had a direct bearing on the interests of the ruling class. It seems that Marx wanted to build a society based on communist ideals.Americans, Europeans have been affected by the vision of Marx. Those who considered themselves Marxists in the 1920 and 1930 were related to this problem. As socialist syndicalists, anarchists, communists opposed these American competition of free markets. The United States also wanted to have the ideals that have been said to ensure freedom and justice. In these decades, the U.S. has occurred in the construction of an ideal state (Franklin 1073). But a question arises that ifideal of life was possible or not.

Technology has played a vital role in these events. Without the production of new transport services and communication, modern America could not exist. You can not dissociate science technology. Because scientific inventions, the world has changed, we have the technology development in the Americas and Europe. On the other hand, the literati, scientists believe. He knew that some "thinkers negligent." The letters alsodecreased ability of scientists to lead to some important moral issues such as human factors and subjective experience (Ibid.1073). Therefore, in the nineteenth century, O'Neill was against capitalism, the individual worker exploitation and unequal distribution of wealth were its products. From early 1910 to 1920, saw the utopian goals of anarchism as a possible answer to capitalism (Ibid.1152).

If we take into account Marx's vision of utopia is a goodtalking about his idea of ​​self-concept because utopian thought has something to do with being and the way in regard to yourself, others, human nature, technology and the natural world. Marx's intention is supposed to overcome alienation. For him, this is an important aspect of political theory and reconstruct the Marxist utopia. Johan Tralau in his article "The Self-made in the utopia of the young Karl Marx," says that "the human being no longer dominate nature, but livein harmony with it. "(394) argues that the utopian world is completely industrialized For Marx, the man must be active. Believes that the flesh is flesh, because of its production continues." technological activities through the car turns right in nature, and himself, because this utopia means the end of the conflict between man and nature, natural science has invaded and transformed human life through "(397 ) Therefore there is no difference between man and nature that Marx is discussed .. "half of the field "(398) that considers the natural sciences industry in relation to man. This destroys the subjectivity of human society. Tralau As argued in his article" in Utopia there are no differences between people "( 399.) Chapter IV, illustrate the symbolic character of Larry and anarchists representing caricatures of utopian thought in The Iceman Cometh.

Joshua Nichols in his article entitled "Lacan, the City, and the symptom utopian analysis. Abject urban spaces, "says that" Utopia is a fictional representation of an ideal society "(460) It seems that the utopia is a place that is only in myth and fiction utopia looks like a mirror of society. . actually reflects "a lack of rationality of the modern city" (461) As in his opinion, in recent centuries, "utopian city is outside of the deity" makes sense only in relation to secular city "(460).
The idealism is a doctrine thatsomething to do with philosophy and argues that "the reality is fundamentally mental in nature", ie a kind of definition in the Dictionary of Philosophy Simon Blackburn gives, second edition (177). Modernity refers to both a category and a historical and philosophical ideal of civilization. If we consider the first class historical positions, classical Enlightenment have been highlighted. According to Robert B. Idealism Pippin 's as modernism, these positions are as follows:

the new conception ofrequired by the nature of modern science, post-Cartesian concept of mind as subjective consciousness, a world of passion fueled by politics, but rationally calculating individuals, or a post-Protestant self-sufficient individual, responsible agents, a new political language of rights and equality and, above all, a common hope: a secular basis, rational morality and politics has proven to be safe and expectations, could inspire loyalty and commitment tovitality and reproduction of a company (Pippin 2)

Now we can consider philosophical modernity that has something to do with the modern German idealism, especially Kant and Hegel, and especially the discussions of the "agency, self-determination and rationality." Pippin says it is very questionable to say that some of the German philosophers of the early nineteenth century, developed the true sources of intellectual break with the first modernist religious and intellectualtradition. They believe that reality, modern social reality has become rational. In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant refers often to the mind. Later German idealists were convinced that Kant had not destroyed the classical metaphysical tradition, but had begun a new kind of philosophy of subjectivity. He claims that, in philosophical knowledge, "reason is occupied with nothing but itself"(qtd. in Pippin, 39). His controversial issue is the concept of "apperception"; Kant states the claim that " It must be possible for the 'I think' to accompany all my representations"(Ibid.), "The principle of apperception is the highest principle in the whole sphere of human knowledge"(Ibid.). Pippin argues that according to Kant," whenever I am conscious of anything, I also apperceive that it is I who am thus conscious" (Ibid.).

At that time, Hegel also gave his own theme in his account of modernity; he stated that the modern age is the realization of human freedom, of absolute freedom. He stresses that this freedom is possible if you just experience a great loss; the experience that God himself is dead, as it is noted in his article "Belief and Knowledge".

In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the new seemed suddenly old, outdated. According to Jurgen Habermas, Nietzsche's thought represents the entry into post modernity. Nietzsche renounces a renewed revision of the concept of reason and bids farewell to the dialectic of enlightenment (Habermas, 85-6). As Pippin holds this farewell to the hopes of the Enlightenment is seen as the decisive European turning point , the European dissatisfaction with the Enlightenment comes down to the failed attempt of Hegel and the post-Hegelian at a dialectical reformulation and completion of such hopes, and a Nietzschean inauguration of irrationalism (Pippin 330)

Pippin further argues that for Nietzsche there is something different about the post-enlightenment period in western history; something which is not just the repetition of Platonism and Christianity (Ibid. 335). However, Modernity just represents his repetitive descriptions; as Pippin argues, it wants to complete the ancient will to truth. He believes that Modernity's dream of Enlightenment is so extreme and that makes its failure. His analysis of the institutions of modernity is directed to the Christian-moral interpretation; he asks his major question and replies it: "What does nihilism mean? That the highest values devalue themselves" (Ibid.335). In his book Pippin argues that Heidegger attacks on the ancient philosophy and Germen Idealism. He asserts that man is free and his being is determined only in his liberation, commerce and economy turn into their powers, art becomes the manner of self-development of human creativity. The idea of sovereignty brings a new formation of the state and a new kind of political thought (Ibid. 395).

When the utopian society comes to be portrayed in literature, we see a fully developed picture of a happy world in which we experience a good life in a new society; we see people at work, at home, in society, we experience their personal and social lives, however, we see a good life, a good day in utopia. But a question arises if it is a real life, whether it is persuasive to portray just a far-fetched life and society. A modern man can not stand it, because he has experienced and seen the real life and the bitter truth is that what he sees is completely different from what he reads in literature. Among the nineteenth century men some come to react against utopian thinking; in their works we can trace anti-utopian thinking. Some like Henrik Ibsen and Eugene O'Neill have portrayed real life in their writings and questioned Plato and his principles of state. It seems the early utopians as Kumar holds in his article, tended to "blend utopian and anti-utopian elements"(70), like Plato and More. But from the late nineteenth century, utopia and anti-utopia tended to pull apart. The anti-utopia expresses some fears; it offers the threat of Technology, Science, and material progress and considers it as the greatest threat to human values. We see that in this century the portrayal of the society becomes more detailed and realistic as you see in Ibsen's The Wild Duck and O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh.

Ibsen is looking forward to something new, the creation of a transformed world. This is an age of becoming. There is not any definite line, as Plato implied in his parable of the cave in order to divide truth and reality. It looks as if Ibsen is playing with the concepts. There is no line between the old and the new, the illusion and the fact, the reality and the truth, the physics and the metaphysics. He wants to define them again. The man of Plato's era is completely different from the 19th century man. However, both intend to construct an ideal world with an ideal concept.

But Ibsen is not only a great thinker, he is a great artist. His works show us the true meaning of the word realism. According to Arthur Symons, "a word which has unhappily come to be associated with pictures of life which are necessarily sordid, frequently unclean (97). Realism is a picture of life as really it is. In his article" Ibsen's Modernity" he argues that Ibsen's realism stifles nothing;" it is daring to discuss matters over which society draws a veil"(97), but it is never gross, never unhealthy, it "sees life steadily, and sees it whole"(97). Ibsen paints ordinary life; his people are the people we meet on the streets, painters, lawyers, and teachers.

In 1890, the American popular theater began slowly to change, along with the Norwegian Ibsen, whose work was first produced in America in 1889. According to Brenda Murphy's American Realism and American Drama, before 1890 the realistic ideas were coming from novelists who had not fully learned the language of the theater (85). The years between 1890 and 1915 were crucial for the establishment of realistic principles in American drama. "The turn-of-the-century playwrights who had ambitions toward writing drama that was good literature as well as good theater were the generation who grew up with the sense of realism as avant-garde"(Ibid. 86). When he started writing plays in 1913, O'Neill was aware of what had been happening in the American theater. As the son of a prominent actor, he had grown up with some knowledge about the theater. From the realist's perspective, his whole career was a development of these two early impulses:" the search for a dramatic structure that would give an appropriate shape to the illusion of reality in his dramatic action, and the search for theatrical ways to depict the deepest reality of his characters within the dramatic structures he discovered". He wanted to fulfill the two impulses of realism in his masterpiece, The Iceman cometh(1939) and A long Day's Journey into Night(1940).In many of his experiments he intends to pursue realistic structure and deeply psychological characterization in order to represent his notion of truth (Murphy,114).

They both seem to develop a great understanding of humanity in all its shades. Ibsen gets his doubts about utopian thinking and that ideal state imagined by Plato and so does O'Neill. He is also against the American dream. Through the history we can diagnose the trace of old in new. Humankind from his birth has been looking for an ideal place based on his ideas. However, in track of history man's ideas have been fulfilled by innovation of technology, science, philosophy, human morality, and so many other factors. Utopia to Ibsen and O'Neill and many other thinkers is not the one which was to Plato. It tends to change into Dystopia, a place where instead of all being well, all is not well. The nineteenth and twentieth-century thinkers like Henrik Ibsen and Eugene O'Neill made an attempt to construct a utopia based on the realities of the life.
