Resistance, Rebellion, and Reason: An Anthology of Ancient Philosophy brings together writings from both ancient and modern political thinkers whose activism laid the foundation for our political and social understanding of justice. The volume emphasizes the ideas of the Greeks and demonstrates their timeliness and application in words from authors including Kant, Tolstoy, Martin Luther King, Jr.

Embedded in each writing is a strong sense of empathy, compassion, and a desire to imprint upon the next generation the important ideas of political and social justice.

The writings encourage students to develop critical thought, challenge their own beliefs and ideas, and draw connections between the past and the present.

The anthology features four units that cover the investigation of classic philosophical thought, ethical leadership, living the good life, and political excellence.

Throughout, the readings are framed by introductions, philosopher biographies, post-reading questions, and reflection prompts to provide context and inspire discussion. Resistance, Rebellion, and Reason encourages readers to draw upon the wisdom of the past to better understand the present and shape the future.

The anthology is ideal for courses in philosophy, politics, social justice, and psychology. Instructors: Next Step Bookstore Orders. Company Info The Resistance, including Organa, Yendor, and Rey, escaped the planet and regrouped at a location provided by the Collective. The Resistance then had gone to the neutral world of Tah'Nuhna who gave assistance to them shortly after the Battle of Crait, but this came at a heavy price, as this was soon discovered by the First Order who quickly destroyed Tah'Nuhna.

The Resistance themselves had retreated to its camp on the garbage planet of Anoat. Sometime later Dameron was tasked to go to the Moon of Avedot to obtain munitions that the New Republic had impounded from the pirates to help rebuild the Resistance.

While General Organa and Rey traveled to Mon Cala following the news on Tah'Nuhna in the hopes of negotiating an alliance and adding Mon Calamari ships to the Resistance's armada, however they were confronted by Chadkol Gee , who was fiercely isolationist, and the advisor of General Nossor Ri , [41] an ex Separatist, [42] but were stopped by Aftab Ackbar , son of the late Admiral Gial Ackbar, who provided the Resistance with starship , [43] with King Ech-Char and the Mon Cala joining the Resistance, this led to the First Order to making an example of Mon Cala after learning that the Mon Calamari and Quarren were supporting the Resistance.

The Resistance later was able to establish a presence on Batuu , where they set up a temporary encampment outside Black Spire Outpost which the Resistance picked largely because it had been ideal for their needs and included a DF. However, two weeks after the arrival of Resistance forces on the planet, [47] the First Order's th Legion landed on Docking Bay 9 in Black Spire Outpost under command of Lieutenant Agnon , the forces of the th, commonly referred to as the "Red Fury," searched the outpost for Resistance spies , [48] who were presided by Supreme Leader Ren himself [46] to take over the the Outpost in an effort to remove the Resistance.

Some time later a bacta production plant on Tevel was liberated from First Order forces and was successfully retaken by the Resistance and the Tevellan. At some point, the Resistance set up a base on Ajan Kloss from where they operated. After a broadcast using the voice of the thought-to-be dead Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine alias Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious that threatened revenge was sent out across the galaxy, Resistance members Poe Dameron, Finn, Chewbacca, and Klaud undertook a mission to the Sinta Glacier Colony , where they gathered intelligence from an ally, Boolio , who had, in turn, received the information from a spy in the First Order.

A Resistance team arrived on Pasaana on a mission to acquire a wayfinder that could lead them to Exegol. The team traveled to Pasaana , where Skywalker's mission had ended. Calrissian pointed the team in the direction towards Ochi's ship. The team also located Ochi's blade underground, which had ingrained on it the coordinates to the Emperor's wayfinder in the Sith language. They used the ship to escape off Pasaana after the First Order tracked them down and confiscated the Falcon , though Chewbacca was captured by the Knights of Ren and believed to be dead.

Despite Dameron leaving the group behind earlier, Bliss agreed to help them and took them to their droidsmith , Babu Frik , who successfully bypassed C-3PO's programming.

They learned that the Emperor's wayfinder was located in a vault in the Endor system , reasoning it to be the Death Star ruins on Kef Bir. Rey sensed through the Force that Chewbacca was still alive on Kylo Ren's flagship, the Steadfast , and the team rescued him. However, Rey learned through Kylo Ren that she was Darth Sidious' granddaughter and that they formed a dyad in the Force.

The group then went to Kef Bir, where they met Jannah and her tribe of orbak riders and learned that they were former First Order stormtroopers who had deserted , like Finn. Rey went rogue and recovered the Emperor's wayfinder amidst the ruins of the second Death Star , but she was confronted by Ren who destroyed the device in order to prevent her from confronting her grandfather without him. The two fought in a lightsaber duel among the wreckage in the oceans; Ren nearly bested Rey, but General Leia Organa sacrificed herself by using her last bit of energy to reach out to her son through the Force, and a distracted Ren was impaled with his lightsaber by an enraged Rey before she realized Leia's presence.

Rey healed Ren through the Force and took his ship to Ahch-To , where she considered exiling herself. However, she was motivated by the ghost of Skywalker to confront her fears and continue on. Rey traveled to Exegol using Ren's wayfinder and Red Five and transmitted Red Five 's tracking beacon to the Resistance, allowing them to trace her route through the Unknown Regions to Exegol. Lando Calrissian arrived on Ajan Kloss to help the Resistance; he and Chewbacca were sent to the Core Worlds on the Falcon to try and rally the free worlds.

Although the Resistance was initially vastly outnumbered and nearly beaten, General Calrissian and Chewbacca arrived with reinforcements in the form of a citizens' fleet.

After healing himself, Darth Sidious attacked the Resistance and galactic forces, but he was stopped by Rey. While General Dameron led the air team , General Finn led the landing team onto the Steadfast after he switched the source of the navigation signal needed for the Sith fleet to deploy off of Exegol from a navigation tower on Exegol to his ship's beacon. Finn and Jannah turned Pryde's turbolasers against his own ship, destroying it, and with it, the navigation signal.

With the remaining Sith Star Destroyers of the Sith fleet trapped on Exegol and destroyed, the Resistance and galaxy fleet retreated back to Ajan Kloss, where they celebrated their victory against Sidious and the Sith Eternal. During their retreat, the Resistance learned that their victory had inspired an uprising against the First Order by the inhabitants of the galaxy, thereby fulfilling their stated goal of being the spark to light the fire to burn the First Order down.

The Resistance was a band of soldiers , pilots , spies, and other freedom fighters, who served in a struggle against the First Order many years after the Battle of Endor. The ultimate authority of the Resistance lay in its General , Leia Organa , who had once been a vital leader in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War , and reputedly knew the name of every single member in her organization.

Many other individuals performed tasks, such as starfighter and droid maintenance, in the Resistance base on D'Qar. Command of the Resistance then passed onto the next highest ranking Resistance officer , Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo , who served as the acting leader of the Resistance until Organa regained consciousness. General Organa remained the leader of the Resistance until her death [4] one year later. Dameron promoted Finn to general as well.

Members of the Resistance were recruited from the ranks of the New Republic military. Like their predecessor, The Rebel Alliance, the Resistance utilizes hit-and-run tactics against the forces of the First Order, the Resistance's military strategy was to merely delay the movements of the First Order and obtain irrefutable evidence of illegal military incursions into New Republic territory to present to Republic Command.

An additional rank, lieutenant commander, was used by Nien Nunb after the Battle of Crait. Rank badges with rank symbols indicated a soldier, officer, or pilot's rank. Red badges were used by the army while blue ones were used by the navy. Militarily, the Resistance was forced to make do with outdated and aging equipment unlike the New Republic, and was so undermanned that most of its personnel were forced to do double duty as scanner technicians, droid programmers, starship mechanics, and regular foot soldiers.

Owing to its lessened pool of manpower, the Resistance placed a greater emphasis on treating the wounded and returning them to duty, and as a result finding medical equipment was a high priority. Resistance troopers commonly utilized the BlasTech ELHFE blaster rifle and were ferried into combat on Resistance transports , which were heavily modified transports assembled from varying vessels from previous wars.

Gian patrol speeders and an army of droids helped keep the Resistance up and running, with many robotic workers given more responsibility and independence than elsewhere in the galaxy and seen as more than just droids, which was a continuation of the ideas of the Rebel Alliance. Many protocols of the Rebel Alliance also remained in use, with code K-one-zero signaling the evacuation of a base, which was most notably used during the Battle of Hoth.

The upper levels of Resistance command is consisted of veterans of the Galactic Civil War who had remained loyal to Leia Organa. With many skilled commanders left unemployed by the Military Disarmament Act, several old rebels readily rallied to Leia's call to action. Officers, such as Admiral Ackbar were treated with great respect by Resistance personnel, many of whom existed in a generational divide, with most young " victory kids " barely in their twenties having never witnessed the horrors of tyranny firsthand.

Spirited and idealistic, many of the pilots formed a close-knit bond and were eager to bring the fight to the First Order. As a symbol in their struggle against the First Order, the Resistance adopted the starbird [51] once used by the Rebel Alliance. Blue Squadron served as the primary line of defense for the base, while Red Squadron flew as support. Commander Poe Dameron led both squadrons as Black Leader , not as an indication of a special squadron, but to denote his specialized fighter, Black One.

Due to the limited manpower and resources of the Resistance, personnel in both the Resistance army and Resistance navy sometimes rotated roles.

The core of the Resistance army were the Resistance troopers , but the army also counted with specialized units, such as the rocket-jumpers , Wookiee Warriors , medics , and scouts. Commonly during the battle the army was led by military officers The rarity of skilled personal lead to army and navy often switching service branches. One example was the doing evacuation of D'Qar , where the soldiers present on the MC85 Star Cruiser Raddus was assigned to shipboard security as bridge guard.

A short time later, the navy repaid the favor, when the pilots flew army V-4X-D ski speeder during the Battle of Crait. The Resistance army would use several artillery emplacements, including the V artillery emplacement , the V artillery emplacement , and the DF.

The army are equipped with planetary shield generators. Resistance army personnel were equipped with blaster pistols and blaster rifles. Blaster pistol models used by the army included DT blaster pistols , Glie blaster pistols , and DH blaster pistols.

Members of the Resistance army were also outfitted with thermal detonators , comlinks , TE4. The Resistance navy employed the use of several varieties of capital ships and frigates. The Resistance navy made use of two frigate variants, such as 4 Nebulon-C escort frigates Anodyne , and 3 hybrid Vakbeor -class cargo frigate Vigil.

Lower-casing the names of structures and symbols of oppression, while capitalizing references to the oppressed and structures of a more just and empowering world for the people is one way of shifting the power dynamics and sending a clear message that the people will be neither silenced nor disappeared!
