y the time he was twenty-five years old, Jacob Marateck had been a Jewish officer in the notoriously anti-Semitic Russian army during the Russo-Japanese War, a revolutionary who sought to overthrow the Czar, and sentenced to death three times. After avoiding the firing squad for the final, unlikely time, he escaped from a Siberian forced labor camp with Warsaw’s colorful “King of Thieves.” Together, the two struggled to survive and obtain false papers to travel home while avoiding the Secret Police. Told from Marateck’s uniquely humorous perspective, The Accidental Anarchist is the remarkable, true story of an ordinary man made extraordinary by participating in the history-making events of the 1900s in Russia and Poland. Throughout all the hardships he endured, he never lost his optimism, which was key to his survival.

*************************

hilosophical thinking is a skill that is sadly neglected–and sometimes even scorned―in popular culture. Thomas Swanson paints a contrary picture of what philosophical thinking is in this uncommon book sharing how he believes the quest of philosophy really started; in wonder–in the hearts of curious men and women in awe of a wonderful world.

After this book you will…

• Have much a deeper appreciation of those mysterious creatures so common in life yet often overlooked: questions, thoughts, and answers.
• Know the way forward in plumbing the depths of either the ancient questions of universal human curiosity, or whatever happens to interest you.
• Possess a little-known antidote to boredom and lack of curiosity.
• Be conversant with some of the earliest and most famous philosophers’ views on the nature of our world, following them as the skill of philosophical thinking and understanding progresses through history, from one thinker to the next.
• In short, you will learn to wonder from the greatest wonderers in the history of mankind.

The book starts off with a surprising description of the philosophical spirit, one that is inspired by wonder. Then we follow five main early Greek philosophers, including Plato and Aristotle, learning from them as they together tackle an ancient philosophical question. Finally, the strategies of philosophical thinking are tied together in a charming conversation between a New York taxi driver and a professor of philosophy, who you’ll see become a philosopher before your very eyes! This is an introduction to philosophy and philosophical thinking like no other.
