In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. Specifically, he accuses them of founding grand metaphysical systems upon the faith that the good man is the opposite of the evil man, rather than just a different expression of the same basic impulses that find more direct expression in the evil man. The work moves into the realm "beyond good and evil" in the s...

First published between 1883 and 1885, Thus Spake Zarathustra stands as a cornerstone of modern philosophy. Blending philosophy, literature, and poetic narrative, Nietzsche explores themes such as the death of God, the will to power, eternal recurrence, and the evolution of human values.Through a series of symbolic speeches and parables, Zarathustra calls upon humanity to transcend conventional morality and embrace a new vision of self-overcoming. Nietzsche challenges read...

Collected here in one volume are three of Søren Kierkegaard's most important works: Fear and Trembling, Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing, and Sickness Unto Death. Fear and Trembling: In our time nobody is content to stop with faith but wants to go further. It would perhaps be rash to ask where these people are going, but it is surely a sign of breeding and culture for me to assume that everybody has faith, for otherwise it would be queer for them to be . . . going further. In those old...

Philosophy of Existence was first presented to the public as a series of lectures invited by The German Academy of Frankfurt. In preparing these lectures Jaspers, whom the Nazis had already dismissed from his professorship at Heidelberg, knew that he was speaking in Germany for the last time. Jaspers used the occasion to offer an account of the cultural and intellectual situation from which existentialism emerged as well as a summary of his own philosophy.The book serves t...

In Kierkegaard's Romantic Legacy, Anoop Gupta develops an original theory of the self based on Kierkegaard's writings. Gupta proceeds by historical exegesis and considers several important ways of thinking about self outside of the natural sciences. His study moves theories of the self from theology toward sociology, from a God-relationship to a social one, and illustrates how a loss in theological underpinnings partly contributes to the rise in the popularity of cultural relativi...

Fate and Freedom Volume 2 builds on the paths of thought opened up in volume 1 with a series of investigations engaging significant figures in both modern and ancient, eastern and western thought. 'Energy and Freedom' uses Pierre Klossowski's thought-provoking book Sade My Neighbour as a spur to probe the ambiguous relationship between these two terms and the ambiguous status of desire in connection with both. Buddhist thought is deployed as a counterpoint, but ...

Kafka’s aphorisms are fascinating glimpses into the lure and the enigma of the form itself. • From the acclaimed author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial—and one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century.The aphorism eludes definition: it can appear to be a random jotting or a more polished observation. Whether arbitrary fragment or crystalline shard, an aphorism captures the inception of a thought. Franz Kafka composed aphorisms dur...

What does fate mean, and how does it work? When we feel we are in the grip of a fate, how can we best disarm that grip and free ourselves from it? And what is freedom? How might we understand better what freedom really entails so as not to lose it quite so easily? In a series of exploratory essays, Fate and Freedom challenges a number of prevailing notions about fate, starting with the idea of a completely pre-determined course of events. Fate reveals itself to be far mo...

Spinoza was the 17th Century’s philosopher of the Word of God: the philosopher of true Christian Salvation and Holiness. Within the corpus of Spinoza’s work, there are many references pointing to a significant and important place for Christ in Spinoza’s work. Actual texts and historical information readily affirms this. The historical evidence itself is not in question. This booklet makes extensive use of many of those textual and historical references to make a case that from an experient...

Thus Spoke Zarathustra is Nietzsche's most problematic text. There appears to be no thematic connection between its four Parts and numerous sections. To make it even worse, the book contains a number of thematic contradictions. The standard approach has been a method of selective reading, that is, most critics select a few brilliant passages for edification and ignore the rest. This approach has turned Nietzsche's text into a collection of disjointed fragments. Going against this ...
