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

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Sinopse

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 Divine Pymander of Hermes...

Hermes Trimegistus

Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus is the founding stone of Western esotericism. Hermes is regarded as being the author of numerous philosophical and spiritual texts, including the Divine Pymander. Even though the historical existence of Hermes is not clear, he has been regarded as the master of wisdom and the initiator of the divine knowledge for centuries. The Divine Pymander is one of the ancient texts attributed to Hermes. The Divine Pymander explains a cosmology and philosophy which blends Egyptian, Greek, and Jewish mystical traditions. It is presented as a dialogue between Hermes and a student who is seeking the divine knowledge. Dialogue includes teachings on the nature of the universe, the soul, and the relationship between humanity and God. The most important central themes of the Divine Pymander is the thought that the cosmos is a manifestation of the divine mind. Furthermore, the human soul is explained as a reflection of this divine intelligence. Hermes tells us that the goal of spiritual practice is to awaken the divine spark within the soul and unite with the divine mind. Spiritual enlightenment includes the purification of the soul by contemplation, prayer and meditation. Hermes also highlights the importance of living a virtuous life, avoiding attachment to material things, cultivation of gratitude and reverence for the divine.

Prehistoric World The - Vanished...

E. A. Allen

Originally published in 1885. 
The Prehistoric World; or, Vanished Races, by E.A. Allen 
We are told that in Tartary, each native makes the iron he needs, just as every household would make its own bread. The furnace is a very small affair, not holding more than three pounds of ore. This is filled with ore and charcoal. The bellows are used, and after the charcoal is all burned out, the result is a small piece of spongy iron, which needs only repeated heating and hammering to be made serviceable. 
Primitive furnaces, on a somewhat larger scale, have been discovered in Switzerland. Here, the excavation was made in the side of a hill, and a rude, dome-shaped chimney built over it. We must not forget that our task ends where the historian's begins. The use of iron did not long precede history, so we have but little to describe as to the customs and manners of life during the prehistoric Iron Age.

Ancient Anunnaki and the...

Faruq Zamani

The earliest history of Babylon is little known. Among the many cities flourishing in southern Iraq, the town first appears in texts in the third millennium BC. Until the last century of the third millennium, few references existed to Babylon; however, offerings made to the temple of Enlil in Nippur during this period (when Babylon was part of an empire ruled by Ur) suggest a city already of some size and wealth. From relative obscurity in the middle of the 18th century BC, Babylon emerged as the political center of southern Mesopotamia. It held this position almost continuously for the next 1,400 years. 
Near Baghdad, around 85 kilometers south of the Euphrates, is the site of Babylon. The area is located north of the great alluvial plain of southern Iraq, a landscape of silts deposited by the Tigris and Euphrates into a vast rift created by tectonic movement as the Arabian plate slips beneath the neighboring Eurasian plate. In addition to defining modern-day Iraq's northern and eastern boundaries, the Taurus and Zagros mountain ranges were created by the same collision. As a result, Mesopotamia encompasses several environmental zones, but Babylon itself is found in the flat alluvial plain in southern Iraq.
