Summary

In "The Greatest Works," Friedrich Nietzsche distills his profound philosophical insights into a compelling narrative that questions the foundations of morality, truth, and existence. Through a masterful blend of aphoristic prose and lyrical depth, Nietzsche navigates the intricacies of human experience, drawing on themes of individualism, nihilism, and the concept of the Übermensch. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century—an era rife with existential dilemmas and revolutionary thought—this collection serves as both a critique of contemporary values and a bold call for personal authenticity in a world teetering on the brink of modernity. Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher known for his radical ideas and provocative writing style, was influenced by his extensive academic background in classical philology and a deep discontent with prevailing philosophical doctrines. His experiences with illness, isolation, and societal rejection fueled his desire to challenge established norms. "The Greatest Works" encapsulates his journey through despair to empowerment, inviting readers to confront their own beliefs and to engage with the unsettling truths of existence. This book is essential for anyone seeking to delve into the complexities of human nature and society. Nietzsche's incisive critique encourages readers to reflect on their own values and aspirations, making "The Greatest Works" not merely a philosophical text but a transformative invitation to self-discovery. It is a must-read for scholars, philosophers, and curious minds alike.

    An essay collection on the importance of critical thought, from one of the foremost Chinese intellectuals of the 1990s. 
     
      
     
    Wang Xiaobo's Pleasure of Thinking is an essay collection as riotous as it is contemplative. Between rollicking anecdotes about living between the East and West and serious musings on the intellectual situations at home and abroad, Xiaobo examines modern life with the levity missing from so much of today's politico-cultural discourse. 
     
     
      
    In "The Maverick Pig," he considers the existential differences between humans and livestock. In "Tales From Abroad: Food," he recounts the culture shock of discovering American diets while studying at Carnegie Mellon. Several pieces focus on literature, with notable essays devoted to Italo Calvino, Bertrand Russell, and Ernest Hemingway, whom Xiaobo admired greatly. Others are more personal in nature, ranging from a meditation on getting mugged, to the consideration of the question: why do I write? 
     
     
      
    Controversial, hilarious, and inimitable, Pleasure of Thinking is a delightful celebration of Wang Xiaobo's unique critical perspective.

    “Dr. Dodes’s approach runs directly counter to the paralyzing, but standard, message of ‘powerlessness’—a mes­sage that reinforces the sense of helplessness that is at the root of addicts’ life predicaments! Many psychiatrists recognize that this is where we must head, but Dr. Dodes is one with the guts to shine a beacon in the right direction.” 
    —Stanton Peele, PhD, author of 7 Tools to Beat Addiction and The Life Process Program of Treatment

By recognizing and understanding the emotional forces underlying addictive behaviors, Dr. Dodes says any dangerous, life-destroying obsession can be overcome. Including special bonus sections for both families and health-care professionals, Breaking Addiction is the new handbook for those suffering from addiction—a valuable resource that addresses addiction’s root causes and serves as an alternative to Alcoholics Anonymous and similar recovery programs.

    You Are Gods - On Nature and...

    In recent years, the theological—and, more specifically, Roman Catholic—question of the supernatural has made an astonishing return from seeming oblivion. David Bentley Hart's You Are Gods presents a series of meditations on the vexed theological question of the relation of nature and supernature. In its merely controversial aspect, the book is intended most directly as a rejection of a certain Thomistic construal of that relation, as well as an argument in favor of a model of nature and supernature at once more Eastern and patristic, and also more in keeping with the healthier currents of mediaeval and modern Catholic thought. In its more constructive and confessedly radical aspects, the book makes a vigorous case for the all-but-complete eradication of every qualitative, ontological, or logical distinction between the natural and the supernatural in the life of spiritual creatures. 
     
     
     
    Hart, one of the most widely read theologians in America today, presents a bold gesture of resistance to the recent revival of what used to be called "two-tier Thomism," especially in the Anglophone theological world. In this astute exercise in classical Christian orthodoxy, Hart takes the metaphysics of participation, high Trinitarianism, Christology, and the soteriological language of theosis to their inevitable logical conclusions.
