  The Poverty of Philosophy

  Karl Marx

  • 0

  Marx started work on this book in January 1847, as can be judged from Engel's letter to Marx on January 15, 1847. By the beginning of April 1847, Marx's work was completed in the main and had gone to the press. On June 15, 1847, he wrote a short foreword.Published in Paris and Brussels in 1847, the book was not republished in full during Marx's lifetime. Excerpts from section five of Chapter Two appeared in different years, mostly between 1872 - 1875 in papers such as La Emancipacion, Der Volksstaat, Social-Demokrat, and others. In 1880 Marx attempted to publish the Poverty of Philosophy in the French socialist newspaper L'Égalité, the organ of the French Workers' Party, but only the foreword and section one of Chapter One were published.This translation is from the original 1847 French edition. It has been updated to also include the changes/corrections Marx made in the copy of the book he presented to N. Utina in 1876, as well as the corrections made by Frederick Engels in the second French edition and the German editions of 1885 and 1892. The first English edition of this work was published in 1900 by Twentieth Century Press.

  The Science of Immortality

  The contents of this volume consist of addresses delivered at various times before Lodges of the Theosophical Society and selected for their reference to the subject of immortality. Some of them were published in The Path, Vol. II. 
  In order to make the chapters more or less coherent, the matter has been slightly rearranged, but certain repetitions will be noticed which are unavoidable, owing to the inter-relation of the subjects discussed and to the fact that, having been addressed to different audiences, some explanation of the bearing of the part on the whole was necessary. I have not attempted to eliminate these redundancies, for the philosophy, sketchily outlined herein, is not easy to grasp, inasmuch as its fundamental data and principles are in contradistinction to much of the current thought of our time. 
  I. THE APPROACH TO THE PATH and FOREWARD 
  II. THE RACES OF HUMANITY 
  III. SENSE-FUNCTIONS AND FACULTIES OF THE MIND 
  IV. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY 
  V. BREATH AND DESIRE 
  VI. WILL, UNIVERSAL AND INDIVIDUAL 
  VII. THOUGHT - ITS ORIGIN AND CONTROL 
  VIII. BIRTH AND DEATH  
  IX. THE SOUL AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS 
  X. THE IMMORTAL SOUL

  George Stephenson was a British civil and mechanical engineer who lived from June the 9th 1781 to August the 12th 1848. Stephenson, called the "Dad of Railways," was regarded by Victorians as a great example of exertion and a desire to enhance. Samuel Smiles, a self-help supporter, applauded his achievements in particular. The four feet eight +12 inches (1.435 m) basic gauge used by the majority of the world's trains is based upon his chosen rail gauge, at times described as 'Stephenson gauge.' 
  Rail transport, which was created by Stephenson and was a crucial element of the Industrial Revolution, was just one of the most essential innovative developments of the nineteenth century. The Mobility No. 1 was the first steam engine to transport guests on a public railway, the Stockton and Darlington Train, in 1825. It was built by George and his child Robert's company, Robert Stephenson & Business. The Liverpool and Manchester Train, which opened in 1830, was the world's first public inter-city train path to use engines. 
  In this book, you will learn more about his inventions and his life.

  What happens to individuals when they become part of a crowd? How can it be explained that intelligent human beings commit unspeakable cruelties once they have become one with an anonymous mass of people? Le Bon's analysis dates back to 1895 – however, the razor-sharp analysis of human behavior is still valid today! Included: a pdf document with track list.
