Friedrich Nietzsche's 'Schopenhauer as Educator,' published in 1876, is an extended but lively philosophical work that is thought-provoking. In this extended essay, Nietzsche describes education as knowing oneself--a task requiring almost herculean effort.
Discover the Book That Defined an Entire Genre of Thought. First published in 1516, Sir Thomas More's Utopia remains one of the most influential works of Western literature. Written as a playful yet biting social satire, the book introduces readers to a distant island nation where private property is abolished, religious tolerance is practiced, and every citizen works for the common good. Through a fictional dialogue with the traveler Raphael Hythloday, More presents a radical alternative to the corruption and inequality of 16th-century Europe. While the title famously translates to "No Place," the questions More raises about justice, wealth distribution, and the role of the state continue to resonate in modern political debate. This definitive edition offers the complete, unabridged text of this Renaissance masterpiece. A cornerstone of Humanist thought and political philosophy, Utopia is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of ideas or the eternal search for a perfect world. Explore the foundation of social idealism. Buy "Utopia" today and challenge your perspective on society.Ver livro

Welcome to a journey through history—cobwebs aren't the only relics hidden in the dusty corners of time. Our tale begins in the dingy underbelly of bygone eras where soot and grime paint the canvas of our story. We'll climb through the centuries with the nimble fingers and scuffed knees of child chimney sweeps, whose stories have been tucked away like a dirty secret amidst the grand tapestry of the past. It's a tale that'll pull at your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone, because, let's be honest, who can't help but chuckle at the thought of top-hatted gentlemen and pinafore-clad lasses, even as we dig into the less genteel side of history?Ver livro
From the internationally best selling author of Red Herrings and White Elephants, Pop Goes the Weasel, New World Order and many more; The events of 9/11 2001 must not be forgotten because the consequences and still revolving around the world today. The events that took place on September 11, 2001 were the most important of our generation. Possibly the most important of our lifetimes and certainly the since the bombing of Pearl Harbour and the Second World War. But they will definitely not be the Crime of the Century. There is much more to come, although hopefully not in my lifetime. The event must not be forgotten. It should dominate debate, both public and private. We must reconfigure, adapt, refocus, reprioritise and come together as one, with our allies, to defend our freedoms and liberties. Wave after wave, generation after generation and each finding new and darker ways of reaching us. We must accept that if the good guys are becoming more and more clever, and advanced, in their ways of protecting us, then the dark side is moving just as cleverly in the other direction. And never was this more obvious (at the time) than on the morning of September 11, 2001. It was a statement of intent. This is how much respect we have for you. This is how much we hate you. It was so extraordinary that we have to wonder what on earth we have done, by way of Foreign Policy since the Second World War, to make them hate us that much. So passionately. The obvious way to try and understand this is to begin with an investigation of the 9/11 attacks and try to find out how a bearded caveman was able to strike at the heart of the world's military superpower. So find out who really was responsible and why...?Ver livro
Written in 731 AD, The Ecclesiastical History of the English People is a foundational chronicle by the monk Bede, detailing the history of Christianity in England from the Roman period to the early 8th century. Covering the arrival of St. Augustine, the spread of the faith, and the struggles between rival Christian traditions, Bede blends fact, hagiography, and theological reflection into a cohesive narrative. He highlights key figures like St. Cuthbert and Queen Ethelburga, while emphasizing divine providence in shaping England’s spiritual destiny. Though shaped by its author’s monastic perspective, the work remains an essential source for understanding early medieval Britain, the development of the English Church, and the cultural foundations of English identity.Ver livro
