Für Immanuel Kant waren seine Träume und Visionen nichts weiter als Unsinn und Hirngespinste. Balzac dagegen stellte ihn in eine Reihe mit Zarathustra, Buddha und Jesus Christus.

Für viele Künstler und Intellektuelle wie August Strindberg, Ralph Waldo Emerson und Jorge Luis Borges dagegen war er eine große Gestalt des 18. Jahrhunderts, dessen umfangreiches naturwissenschaftliches und theosophisches Werk man mit vorbehaltlosem Ernst sich zu erschließen habe.

‘In the beginning was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This sentence – and the words of all four gospels – is central to the teachings of the Christian church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind. Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered.

Are you scared of dying? Lots of people are. Maybe it’s because you’re not sure what happens after you die. There are only two options: Nothing. When you’re dead you’re dead.

Those who believe God is loving and good have always wrestled with the question of why he allows evil and suffering to continue in the world. This book goes through the various issues and options, processing these questions and the best suggestions for answers. The best answers are that evil exists because of the freedom God has given us as free moral agents and that this often results in suffering. Meanwhile, God often allows suffering so that we can grow in character. In the end, we must have faith in God's goodness despite our lack of full understanding.

Once upon a time, philosophy was a dangerous business-and for no one more so than for Baruch Spinoza, the seventeenth-century philosopher vilified by theologians and political authorities everywhere as "the atheist Jew." As his inflammatory manuscripts circulated underground, Spinoza lived a humble existence in The Hague, grinding optical lenses to make ends meet. Meanwhile, in the glittering salons of Paris, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was climbing the ladder of courtly success.

Three of the seven “prophets” presented in this book—Descartes, Rousseau, and Nietzsche—provoked or facilitated, through their intellectual activity, great upheavals. The others—Pascal, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Soloviev—predicted these very upheavals but showed us the way to overcome them. If we study all seven of these philosophers in depth, we will have an easier time grasping the essence and origin of the universal drama now unfolding before our eyes and we will make wise and courageous choices for a better future.

We live in a world in which everything is changing - everything, that is, except the world's major religious institutions. We live in a time that has been dubbed the Postmodern era where truth is not considered the sole owner of one group or culture, where reason is not considered the only way to experience reality, where Earth is considered a precious and fragile ecosystem rather than an endless resource for creating riches, and where the concept of a single moral authority is rejected. We, as a society ...

Nasce integro, e in seguito si fraziona in mille identità. L’uomo nasce in quantoindividuo, ma poi cade addormentato e sogna di essere una folla.Il problema dell’essere umano è tutto qui, ed è qui che si annida la sfida della vita.

This book refutes the concept of Religious Equality from many aspects. For the agnostic or secular or irreligious or anti-religious this book proves how everyone is upon a religious faith even if they don't know it and that it is impossible to not have a religion. Also the importance of choosing a religion is established as the most important decision one can make and the concept that all religions are equal is a extremist false faith.

An invitation to unravel life’s biggest mystery, “What happens after death?” Everyone has asked this question, and even if you’ve never asked it out loud, you’ve thought about it. I mean, why wouldn’t you? Death is seen as something permanent, final, and scary, but then again, the complete “silence” after death seems quite unreasonable.
