Summary

In "Facts of Consciousness," Johann Gottlieb Fichte presents a pivotal exploration of self-awareness and the nature of consciousness that significantly influenced the development of German idealism. Written in the early 19th century, the book employs a rigorous, philosophical style characterized by dialectical reasoning and introspective inquiry. Fichte probes deeply into the processes of thought, subjectivity, and the role of the self in constructing knowledge, often challenging prevailing empiricist notions and emphasizing the significance of the individual's active engagement with their own consciousness. Fichte, a prominent philosopher of the Enlightenment, was greatly influenced by the ideas of Immanuel Kant, particularly the critical examination of the faculties of human understanding. His commitment to the principles of freedom and autonomy stems from his own experiences and the socio-political upheavals of his time, motivating him to seek a philosophical grounding for personal agency within a collective context. This backdrop informed Fichte's conviction that human consciousness is not a passive receiver of sensations but an active participant in the formation of knowledge and reality. "Facts of Consciousness" is a must-read for anyone intrigued by philosophical discourses surrounding self and consciousness. It offers profound insights into the nature of individual perception and serves as a crucial text for understanding the evolution of modern philosophical thought. Whether you are a philosopher, student, or avid reader of intellectual history, Fichte's work will enrich your comprehension of the self and its relation to the world.

Historian, archaeologist, and anthropologist Luke Pepera takes us on a personal journey discovering 500,000 years of African history and cultures in order to reclaim and reconnect with this extraordinary heritage.

And it explores how knowledge of this deeper history might affect current understandings of African identity. 
 
 
 
Through thematically-linked chapters that explore aspects of African identity from nomadic culture and matriarchal society to beliefs about the afterlife and the tradition of oral storytelling, and interwoven with Luke's own experiences of exploring his Ghanaian family history and his personal questions of identity, this is a comprehensive, relevant, and beautifully told new history of Africa, and how it has shaped the world we know today.

    The enigma’s origins can be traced back to a specific date or event, one that set into motion a series of actions and reactions that would change the course of history. The disappearance seemed to defy all logic, prompting countless theories, speculations, and investigations. What made it even more baffling was the lack of any solid leads or clear explanation. The initial shockwave reverberated through communities, then nations, and eventually captured the attention of the international media. While some were quick to dismiss it as a simple case of human error or an unfortunate accident, others, with a more skeptical mindset, began to delve into deeper, darker possibilities. 
The world began to wonder: Was there something more to this disappearance than met the eye? Could it be that the vanishing was part of something far grander—an elaborate scheme, a well-organized plot, or a conspiracy of sorts? As the days stretched into weeks, weeks into months, and even years, the mystery seemed to grow deeper, defying all attempts at resolution. Various experts, investigators, and amateurs alike joined the search, each bringing their own theories, each finding new clues that led them down different paths. Yet, despite the global effort, the answers remained elusive.

    Two celebrated Egyptologists bring to vivid life the intriguing and controversial reign of King Tut’s parents 
Akhenaten has been the subject of radically different, even contradictory, biographies. The king has achieved fame as the world’s first individual and the first monotheist, but others have seen him as an incestuous tyrant who nearly ruined the kingdom he ruled. The gold funerary mask of his son Tutankhamun and the painted bust of his wife Nefertiti are the most recognizable artifacts from all of ancient Egypt. But who are Akhenaten and Nefertiti? And what can we actually say about rulers who lived more than three thousand years ago? 
 
November 2022 marks the centennial of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun and although “King Tut” is a household name, his nine-year rule pales in comparison to the revolutionary reign of his parents. Akhenaten and Nefertiti became gods on earth by transforming Egyptian solar worship, innovating in art and urban design, and merging religion and politics in ways never attempted before. Combining fascinating scholarship, detective suspense, and adventurous thrills, Egypt’s Golden Couple is a journey through excavations, museums, hieroglyphic texts, and stunning artifacts. From clue to clue, renowned Egyptologists, John and Colleen Darnell, reconstruct an otherwise untold story of the magnificent reign of Akhenaten and Nefertiti.

    Charles Dickens is often remembered because of his Christmas Carol. And even though that is a very interesting novel, it wasn’t even his favorite. Some artists and authors claim that a work of art or a novel should be completely separated from the creator. Personally, I completely disagree. I think you can always find traces of psychology in a person’s work that are related to the things they experienced in their personal lives. 
And so, without further ado, I encourage you to pick up this short informational book. It will lay out some of the most important characters from his most famous novels and give you the background you need to understand the motives and creativity behind them. Charles Dickens had a fascinating life, in an entirely different era and age in world history. To understand what and why he wrote what he did, it will be useful to see them in the light of his marriage, his financial hardships, his success, his children, his traumas, and his goals. Become acquainted with this genius writer and his true drive that led him to who he became to be.
