Nietzsche never recovered from his mental breakdown in 1889 and therefore was unable to further any plans he had for the ‘magnum opus’ he had once intended, bringing together in a coherent whole his mature philosophy. It was left to his close friend Heinrich Köselitz and his sister Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche to go through the remaining notebooks and unpublished writings, choosing sections of particular interest to produce The Will to Power, giving it the subtitle An Attempted Transvaluation of All Values.

This work is a translation by R.C. Thompson from the original Assyrian incantation. It describes the "Maskim ghouls", the seven wicked demons of the Mesopotamian underworld. These demons were associated with plagues and disasters like earthquakes.

Discovering that reason is the defining feature of our species, we named ourselves the “rational animal”. But is this flattering story itself rational? In this sweeping account of irrationality from antiquity to today - from the fifth-century BC murder of Hippasus for revealing the existence of irrational numbers to the rise of Twitter mobs and the election of Donald Trump - Justin Smith says the evidence suggests the opposite.

This 2017 revised, updated, and reformatted edition is not an article in the classical sense, but rather an intuitive summary of all of the author’s nonfiction books. Its paradigmatic style and authoritative diction have not a little in common with Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This expanded worldview is a concise sketch of "realizable" new ways, both individually and collectively, or, in a more expanded formulation, a new worldview that re-institutes real morality principles instead of the fake morality that postmodern international consumer culture practices

Author David Brooks explores the four commitments that define a life of meaning and purpose: to a spouse and family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. Our personal fulfillment depends on how well we choose and execute these commitments. Brooks looks at a range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, and who have embraced the necessity and beauty of dependence. He gathers their wisdom on how to choose a partner, how to pick a vocation, how to live out a philosophy, and how we can begin to integrate our commitments into one overriding purpose.

The comprehensive and accurate edition of the Hagakure is a must-have for serious martial artists or fans of samurai and the Bushido code.

What does it mean to look beyond yourself and find a moral cause? To forget about independence and discover dependence - to be utterly enmeshed in a web of warm relationships? What does it mean to value intimacy, devotion, responsibility and commitment above individual freedom? In The Second Mountain David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities that scaling a second mountain offer us and the four commitments that most commonly move us there: family, vocation, philosophy and community.

Conspiracy theories are as old as politics. But conspiracists today have introduced something new - conspiracy without theory. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. In A Lot of People Are Saying, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum reveal how the new conspiracism differs from classic conspiracy theory, why so few officials speak truth to conspiracy, and what needs to be done to resist it.

This collection, first published in 1914, contains 28 short pieces in prose and verse, which present themes frequently explored in Gibran's other works. These include love, death, creation myths and spiritual realization.

Un des ouvrages les plus pédagogiques et les plus fondateurs de Friedrich Nietzsche. Dans un style lumineux l'auteur propose une critique féroce du "dogmatisme" des philosophes chrétiens et platoniciens. Par la remise en question de ses prédécesseurs, Nietzsche pousse de manière originale à remettre de la créativité dans une pensée trop ancrée dans les croyances, à l'enrichir, à ouvrir une possibilité d'appréhender le monde, plus inventive et plus universelle, en "esprit libre".

In a dissatisfied world, looking back to ancient wisdom can shed light on fresh solutions. For years, many of us have upheld the Stoic concept of ‘no pain, no gain.’ But in a time when we are burdened by the fear of failure and outsize ambitions, perhaps we should stop skirting around the edges of our problems via punishing exercise regimes, productivity apps and early morning starts. According to the pleasure-centric philosophy of Epicureanism, life can be good without great sacrifice, and temptation isn’t always the enemy.

AMA Audiolibros presenta la Narración en Español (acento Castellano) a cargo de Artur Mas de: El arte de ser feliz, explicado en 50 reglas para la vida. Este es el título de una serie de artículos que escribió el filósofo alemán Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), recopilados y posteriormente publicados. A diferencia de "El arte de tener razón", que ya en forma manuscrita aparece como una pequeña obra acabada, "El arte de ser feliz nunca fue terminada" y quedó en su forma más básica: "50 Reglas para la Vida" de las que se compone se redactaron en diversos momentos.

Lo expuesto por nosotros aquí sobre las relaciones del lenguaje con la música debe también ser aplicado por las mismas razones a las relaciones del mimo con la música. También el mimo, como simbólica reforzada de los grandes gestos del hombre, es, comparado con la significación general de la música, un símbolo cuyo sentido interior se nos revela muy superficialmente, esto es, como sustrato del cuerpo movido por la pasión.

Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire from AD 161-180. He wrote the 12 books of the Meditations as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova and the second book was written at Carnuntum.

Tratados de ética que, desde el punto de vista doctrinal, mantiene una concordancia sustancial con la doctrina del bien y de la virtud que aparece en las otras obras éticas del autor.

La gaya ciencia, también traducido como "El gay saber" o "El alegre saber", es una de las obras capitales del filósofo Friedrich Nietzsche, escrita en 1882. Con ella se cierra el periodo "negativo" (de destrucción de la metafísica cristiana) y se abre el periodo afirmativo (de construcción de nuevos valores), en el que se destaca la obra "Así habló Zaratustra". Para Friedrich Nietzsche el cristianismo inventó un mundo ideal, inexistente, alejado de todo contacto con el mundo real.

El Anticristo es una obra que trata de desnudar a la religión cristiana desde el análisis de su historia, sus documentos y sus hechos más notorios. Nietzsche hace una crítica poderosa y potente a los pilares básicos del cristianismo en una obra dividida en capítulos cortos y que van desengranando su idea y sus razonamientos. En la obra también realiza análisis de otras religiones dominantes, sin embargo, es a la cristiana a la que presta más atención.
