We Philologists - Unveiling the Power of Language: Nietzsche's Philological Revolution

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "We Philologists," Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche embarks on a profound exploration of language, literature, and the intellectual heritage of the Western world. The text serves as both a passionate defense of philology as a discipline and a critique of the contemporary educational landscape of his time. Nietzsche's literary style is marked by incisive prose, vivid metaphor, and rhetorical flair, reflecting his deep engagement with the philosophical underpinnings of language and its role in shaping culture. Within the broader context of 19th-century Europe, Nietzsche interrogates the historical evolution of language and its implications for understanding human consciousness and civilization itself. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, a renowned philosopher and philologist, was profoundly influenced by classical texts and the transformative power of language. His academic background and extensive studies at prestigious institutions provided him with a unique perspective on the intersection of language, philosophy, and culture. Nietzsche's own struggles with conventional educational systems and his desire to elevate philosophical discourse inspired the themes presented in this work, which champions a return to rigorous intellectual inquiry. "We Philologists" is essential reading for anyone interested in the interrelationship between language and thought. It invites scholars, students, and general readers alike to reconsider the importance of philology in understanding human experience, making a compelling case for its relevance in contemporary discourse. Engage with Nietzsche's bold ideas and let them challenge and enrich your understanding of language and its foundational role in our intellectual heritage.

The Once and Future Sex - Going...

Eleanor Janega

A vibrant and illuminating exploration of medieval thinking on women's beauty, sexuality, and behavior. 
 
 
 
What makes for the ideal woman? How should she look, love, and be? In this high-spirited history, medievalist Eleanor Janega turns to the Middle Ages, the era that bridged the ancient world and modern society, to unfurl its suppositions about women and reveal what's shifted over time—and what hasn't. 
 
 
 
Enshrined medieval thinkers, almost always male, subscribed to a blend of classical Greek and Roman philosophy and Christian theology for their concepts of the sexes. For the height of female attractiveness, they chose the mythical Helen of Troy, whose imagined pear shape, small breasts, and golden hair served as beauty's epitome. Casting Eve's shadow over medieval women, they derided them as oversexed sinners, inherently lustful, insatiable, and weak. And, unless a nun, a woman was to be the embodiment of perfect motherhood. 
 
 
 
In The Once and Future Sex, Janega unravels the restricting expectations on medieval women and the ones on women today. She boldly questions why, if our ideas of women have changed drastically over time, we cannot reimagine them now to create a more equitable future.

My Russian Grandmother and Her...

Meir Shalev

From the author of the acclaimed novel A Pigeon and a Boy comes a charming tale of family ties, over-the-top housekeeping, and the sport of storytelling in Nahalal, the village of Meir Shalev's birth. Here we meet Shalev's amazing Grandma Tonia, who arrived in Palestine by boat from Russia in 1923 and lived in a constant state of battle with what she viewed as the family's biggest enemy in their new land: dirt. 
 
 
  
Hilarious and touching, Grandma Tonia and her regulations come richly to life in a narrative that circles around the arrival into the family's dusty agricultural midst of the big, shiny American sweeper sent as a gift by Great-uncle Yeshayahu. America, to little Meir and to his forebears, was a land of hedonism and enchanting progress. The sweeper, a stealth weapon from Grandpa Aharon's American brother meant to beguile the hardworking socialist household with a bit of American ease, was symbolic of the conflicts and visions of the family in every respect. 
 
 
  
The fate of Tonia's "svieeperrr"—hidden away for decades in a spotless closed-off bathroom after its initial use—is a family mystery that Shalev determines to solve. The result is pure delight, as Shalev brings to life the obsessive but loving Tonia, the pioneers who gave his childhood its spirit of wonder, and the grit and humor of people building ever-new lives.
