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

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

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.

Kneading Journalism - Essays on...

Tony Ganzer

“Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.” 
By the time a photographer spotted these words on a shirt at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in November 2016, it had long been clear that a growing number of Americans had not-so-subtle reservations about journalists. In an age that some demonize the media as an “enemy of the people,” it’s time for a heart-to-heart about what journalism is, and what it could be. And while we break down the news business, let’s also bake some bread. 
In Kneading Journalism, award-winning international journalist Tony Ganzer provides an insider's view of the Fourth Estate through compelling personal narratives and keen insights. Essays transport the reader from a bread riot before the French Revolution, to the inside of Germany’s public media and bread industries, to the streets of post-revolutionary Cairo, all while exploring the who, what, and why of journalism. 
Kneading Journalism provides readers bite-sized thoughts on journalism and society, and basic bread recipes for any level of baker. 
Before we can break bread, we need to bake bread.

Brian Boru - Biography of a...

Kelly Mass

Brian Boru, one of medieval Ireland’s most celebrated figures, was an Irish king who played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s history. He is best known for ending the centuries-long dominance of the Uí Néill over the High Kingship of Ireland and resisting the Viking invasions that had threatened Irish sovereignty. Brian’s rise to power built upon the efforts of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and his older brother, Mathgamain mac Cennétig, solidifying his place as one of Ireland’s most effective and unifying leaders.  
Brian’s initial ascent began as the King of Munster. From there, he expanded his influence, conquering Leinster and ultimately claiming the title of High King of Ireland. His legacy includes founding the O’Brien dynasty, which played a significant role in Irish history long after his death. During his time, Ireland’s population was fewer than 500,000, yet it was fragmented into more than 150 small kingdoms. Brian’s ability to unify such a fractured land set him apart as a leader.

The Point of Honor

Joseph Conrad

Set during the Napoleonic Wars, this story features two French Hussar officers, D'Hubert and Feraud. Their quarrel over an initially minor incident turns into a bitter, long-drawn out struggle over the following fifteen years, interwoven with the larger conflict that provides its backdrop. At the beginning, Feraud is the one who jealously guards his honor and repeatedly demands satisfaction anew when a duelling encounter ends inconclusively; he aggressively pursues every opportunity to locate and duel his foe. As the story progresses, D'Hubert also finds himself caught up in the contest, unable to back down or walk away.    This Conrad short story evidently has its genesis in the real duels that two French Hussar officers fought in the Napoleonic era. Their names were Dupont and Fournier, which Conrad disguised slightly, changing Dupont into D'Hubert and Fournier into Feraud. In 1977, it was turned into a movie, "The Duellists", starring Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel.

Notes on Feminism - Being a...

Lauren Windle

Is it possible to be a Christian and a feminist?
The hot topic of feminism has been well documented and debated in mainstream media and yet, as Christians we come to the conversation from a slightly different vantage point. For starters, we have the benefit of a personal relationship with our creator plus the ultimate handbook in the Bible to work out what is right and just when it comes to equality. So why do many Christians feel the Bible presents a barrier rather than a boost when it comes to championing equality between the sexes?
Lauren Windle draws upon her years as a journalist to weave together a wide range of voices on a subject that society has been wrestling with but, in the Church, few are brave enough to probe too deeply for fear of what they might find. This book isn't here to tell you what to think. The views it presents are intended to inform, not form, your opinion on key topics, including: defining feminism, the lessons we teach boys, female preachers, a woman's place in the household, beauty standards and #ChurchToo.
Notes On Feminism features contributions from several high-profile women:
- Writer and model Katie Piper on true beauty
- Olympian Abigail Irozuru on women's bodies
- Comedian Cassandra Maria on why people think women aren't funny
- Author Tiffany Bluhm on why people don't believe women
- Journalist Delphine Chui on why she isn't a feminist.
If feminist stirrings feel like a barrier to your faith, let Notes on Feminism help you unpick the confusion and ongoing debate, while keeping God at the centre.
