Come with me on amazing river voyages across this vast continent as we actually find out how far early cultures travelled across the lakes, rivers and plains of North America.

Every day's Metaphysics

Panos Sakelis

Reality and relative reality are two completely different things. The second is what we perceive with our senses and brain. Imagine now that between these two, there are other levels of understanding that if we manage and activate them, we do not reach the perception of absolute reality. Still, at least we have a better picture of what is happening.Such a level is offered to us by metaphysics, but we have to pay special attention to it because many illusions often enter it. But this level, which I personally refer to as the level of every day’s metaphysics, is a relatively accessible way of understanding the truth that relativity once again encompasses our level of understanding.The collection of articles enclosed in this doctrine seeks, as honestly as possible, to take a look at the events that characterize the metaphysical veil of relative reality to assist the contemporary researcher in the more global perception of the individual and the world

Homer And Classical Philology

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche argues that Homer's poetry represents the pinnacle of ancient Greek culture and embodies the ideal of a harmonious and heroic society. However, he also challenges the traditional views of classical philology that have portrayed Homer as a mere historian or chronicler of events, and instead sees him as a visionary poet who transcends the boundaries of history and time. Overall, Homer and Classical Philology offers a thought-provoking analysis of one of the most influential literary figures in history, and sheds light on the enduring relevance of classical philology in contemporary society. Read in English, unabridged.
