Summary

Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was a British poet, writer and playwright of the Victorian era. Active in the aesthetic circle, romantic and then decadent, he met Oscar Wilde and other famous intellectuals and artists of the same environment, attending the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and becoming a friend of the poet, artist and initiate Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Eccentric personality, with a strong taste for artistic provocation, inspired by writers such as De Sade, Shelley and Baudelaire, his poetry was very controversial and his lyrics were characterized by the cult of paganism and the idealized Middle Ages, and of absolute freedom. From 1903 to 1909 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. With Alfred E. Housman, Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson, Ernest Dowson and William Butler Yeats, he is considered one of the most representative lyric poets of Victorian literature.Swinburne’s literary output was vast and included poems, plays, novels, short stories and numerous essays on literary criticism. Among the latter we have selected, to be reproposed to the attention of modern readers, his fundamental essay on The poems of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, written in 1870.

    ohn Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. 
    In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: 
    The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse 
    His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password 
    His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” 
    And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel 
    Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” 
    This is not a respectful biography. 
    This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: 
    Liberalism 
    Landlords 
    Legal headaches 
    And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority 
    Perfect for: 
    Recovering philosophy students 
    Political skeptics 
    Enlightenment haters 
    Property law survivors 
    And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement 
    You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. 
    You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.

    On Generation and Corruption

    On Generation and Corruption is a scientific work written by Aristotle in which he explores the concepts of change, decay, and permanence in the natural world. The book is divided into two main sections: the first deals with the nature of change and motion, while the second focuses on the concept of generation and corruption. Aristotle argues that everything in the natural world is subject to change, and that this change can be either accidental or substantial. Accidental change refers to changes in the properties or characteristics of an object, while substantial change refers to a change in the object's very essence or being. He also argues that change can only occur through motion, which is the transfer of potentiality to actuality. Read in English, unabridged.

    Liberty or Justice for All? brings to life four of America's greatest thinkers, whose dialogue across the ages has never been more relevant. Philip F. Gura begins his nimble tale with Jonathan Edwards, a fiery preacher who insisted that God would reward those who embraced social cooperation. One generation later, the Founding Fathers grounded their own project of civic renewal in rights and freedom. But if every citizen is guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, does this mean America is a nation where the individual reigns supreme? 
     
     
     
    America's young democracy soon found its prophet in Ralph Waldo Emerson, who preached a gospel of self-reliance, small government, and self-improvement. But with the coming of the Civil War, Emerson's triumphant individual became a cog in a vast war machine. Radical technological transformations convinced the psychologist-turned-philosopher William James that the self was more fragmented and fragile than Emerson believed. He found virtue in pluralism and diversity, seeing selfishness as the cardinal sin. Two world wars and several failed revolutions later, John Rawls, shaken by the divisions of Vietnam, sought to establish a new secular foundation for social cooperation. Over time, we have sought to hold these opposing value systems in delicate balance, promising both liberty and justice for all.
