Sinopsis

In 'The Greatest Works of Immanuel Kant,' readers are presented with a compendium of ideas that have profoundly shaped modern philosophy. This collection includes critical essays such as 'Critique of Pure Reason,' 'Critique of Practical Reason,' and 'Critique of Judgment,' showcasing Kant's groundbreaking inquiry into metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics. His rigorous analytical style is marked by a meticulous approach to delineating the limits of human understanding and the nature of moral imperatives, set against the backdrop of Enlightenment thought, where reason was lauded as the primary source of authority. Kant's work invites readers on an intellectual journey that challenges preconceived notions of knowledge and morality, insisting that enlightenment is not merely an act of the mind but a moral obligation as well. Immanuel Kant, a central figure in Western philosophy, emerged from the intellectual milieu of 18th-century Prussia, where the intersection of rationalism and empiricism was fervently debated. His personal quest for knowledge, alongside his experiences as a scholar and a professor, led him to address the pressing philosophical questions of his time. Kant's emphasis on autonomy and reason not only reflects his own beliefs but also contributes significantly to the development of critical philosophy, influencing countless theorists across disciplines. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations of Western thought will find 'The Greatest Works of Immanuel Kant' indispensable. It serves not only as an introduction to Kant's pivotal ideas but also as a comprehensive reference for those wishing to engage with the rich tapestry of philosophical discourse. By immersing oneself in Kant's writings, one can appreciate not just the complexity of his arguments but also their enduring relevance in contemporary discussions on ethics, knowledge, and the human condition.

Polygamy - A Very Short...

Sarah M.S. Pearsall

Marriage has not always meant just one man and one woman. For much of human history, the most common alternative was polygamy: marriage involving more than one spouse. However, polygamy has come to symbolize a problematic, even "barbaric," form of marriage that is often labeled as "backwards," embodying the oppression of women by men. 
 
 
 
In Polygamy: A Very Short Introduction, Sarah M. S. Pearsall explores what plural marriages reveal about the inner workings of marriage and describes the controversies surrounding it. The book emphasizes the diversity of historical polygamist societies, from the Shi'ite Muslims and Wendat men who practiced short-term marriages to the Mixteca, Maori, Inca, Algonquin, and Marta indigenous people of North America and the Pacific Islands. Pearsall also explains the divides within Christianity that led to Joseph Smith's establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism). 
 
 
 
Polygamy: A Very Short Introduction looks at how polygamous domestic and sexual relationships have influenced larger dynamics of power, gender, rank, race, and religion in societies all over the world, while also attempting to untangle the paradox of female constraint and liberty for women who advocated for polygamy, arguing that plural marriage offered security and stability rather than restraint for women.

On Power - My Journey Through...

Anónimo

YOU DESERVE TO HAVE POWER.
IT IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING.
GENE SIMMONS IS HERE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS TO THE TEMPLE.
Gene Simmons, KISS front-man, multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, and master of self-invention, shares his philosophy on power—how to attain it, how to keep it, and how to harness it as a driving force in business and in life.
As co-founder of KISS, America's #1 gold record-award-winning group of all time, Simmons knows the thrill and seduction of power firsthand. But gold records alone don’t equal power. The decisions you make once you attain a certain level of success are what separate the pretenders from the pantheon.
Inspired by Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince, Simmons offers his unique take on the dynamics of power in every realm of life, from the bedroom to the boardroom, to the world of rock, celebrity, and social media, to politics. With one-of-a-kind anecdotes from his life and career, as well as stories from historical and contemporary masters of power, including Winston Churchill, Napoleon Bonaparte, Warren Buffett, Michael Jordon, Oprah, and Elon Musk, Simmons crafts a persuasive and provocative theory on how the pursuit of power drives civilization and defines our lives.
The rules of power are changing in today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world in a way that Machiavelli never could have imagined, and we all need to learn to adapt. Simmons tells listeners: Ignore the negatives. Be unrelenting. Rise above the rest. You are the architect of your success.
