Summary

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history. He is considered one of the most important philosophers of the 19th century and a major forerunner of existentialism and postmodernism.

Nietzsche's philosophy is characterized by its radical questioning of traditional morality, religion, and metaphysics. He argued that the values and beliefs that have dominated Western thought for centuries are no longer tenable in the modern world. He called for a new way of thinking, one that would be based on the affirmation of life and the pursuit of individual self-fulfillment.

This book is an introduction to Nietzsche's philosophy. It provides a clear and concise overview of his key ideas, including his critique of traditional morality, his concept of the Übermensch, and his affirmation of life. The book also explores Nietzsche's influence on modern thought and his legacy in contemporary culture.

Nietzsche's philosophy is challenging and thought-provoking, but it is also rewarding. It offers a new way of looking at the world and a new way of thinking about ourselves. This book is an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand Nietzsche's philosophy and its significance for the modern world.

Nietzsche's work has been praised by many prominent thinkers, including Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida. Heidegger called Nietzsche "the last great European philosopher," and Foucault said that Nietzsche was "the most important philosopher of the 19th century." Derrida said that Nietzsche's work is "the most radical and the most contemporary of all philosophies."

This book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it perfect for readers who are new to Nietzsche's philosophy. It is also an invaluable resource for students and scholars of philosophy, literature, and cultural studies.

    It takes strength not to curse someone out when they’re being rude, or not to lose it when your child is being disobedient. It is also emotionally taxing to keep it all together when you are on the receiving end of a microaggression. 
Each of these instances requires us to use our emotional intelligence (or EQ). And, while it is a basic skill, there are more shades to emotional intelligence than you might think. Emotional intelligence can also be used to break barriers to equity. 
In The Color of Emotional Intelligence, psychotherapist and well-being expert Farah Harris uses personal stories, anecdotes, and insight to discuss:The fundamentals of emotional intelligence and barriers to practicing EQ effectivelyHow emotional intelligence is used as a survival skill by marginalized peopleDifferent types of stressors, including microaggressions, and resulting unhealthy defensive tactics, such as code-switching and maskingSelf-care strategies for handling systemic stressors that affect people from marginalized groupsTools everyone can use to elevate their emotional intelligence to address inequities and become better stewards of humanity 
Don’t go through life seeing things in black and white. It’s time to see the world in color.

    "The Stillwater Tragedy" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the dark and mysterious atmosphere surrounding a murder in the seemingly idyllic village of Stillwater. As the narrative unfolds, it reveals the tumultuous and often harsh lives of the townsfolk, with a particular focus on several key characters, including the recently deceased wealthy man, Mr. Lemuel Shackford, and his estranged cousin, Richard Shackford. 
The story opens with a chilling tone just before daybreak in Stillwater, where the body of Mr. Shackford lies dead, the victim of a violent crime. As the sun rises, the village awakens to its daily rhythm while grappling with the shock of the murder. Young Mary Hennessey, whose delayed milk delivery leads her to discover the crime scene, unwittingly becomes the center of attention as gossip spreads throughout the town. 
Shortly after the discovery, the townspeople gather in anxiety and suspicion, prompting an investigation led by local authorities. Through vivid descriptions and evocative character portrayals, the beginning of the novel establishes an unsettling mood as it explores themes of violence, greed, and the fragile nature of community bonds in the face of tragedy.

  • The Fantasy of JRR Tolkien - Mythopoeia and the Recovery of Creation - cover

    The Fantasy of JRR Tolkien -...

    At the heart of Tolkienian fantasy is "recovery," a "cleaning of the windows" of our perception that we may learn to see the world again in all its strange beauty. And, for Tolkien, to recover the world anew is to recover a sense of the world as a meaningful act of creation by a living and loving Creator. How does Tolkien accomplish this? Through "sub-creation" or mythopoeia, the "fashioning of myth." For it is in creating an imaginary world ourselves through poetry, fairy-story, and myth that we come to "see" our "primary world" as itself an act of creation. In short, mythopoetic creation, far from being "lies breathed through silver," uncovers for us the truth of our world as a story of creation. 
 
 
 
This book demonstrates not only the centrality of recovery to Tolkien's fantasy but the way in which his fantasy affects that primal recovery in every reader. It reveals the marvelous philosophical and theological riches that underlie Tolkien's fantasy and shows how his mythopoetic fiction allows the recovery and enactment of these riches in our own lives. The book shows how for Tolkien fantasy has within itself a healing power through which intellectual, moral, and existential paradoxes are resolved and our intellectual and perceptual faculties are made whole again so that they may participate with renewed vigor in the life-giving work of creation of every sort.

    A reflective, original invitation to recover and cultivate the human experiences that have atrophied in our virtual world. 
 
 
 
We embraced the mediated life—from Facetune and Venmo to meme culture and the Metaverse—because these technologies offer novelty and convenience. But they also transform our sense of self and warp the boundaries between virtual and real. What are the costs? Who are we in a disembodied world? 
 
 
 
In The Extinction of Experience, Christine Rosen investigates the cultural and emotional shifts that accompany our embrace of technology. In warm, philosophical prose, Rosen reveals key human experiences at risk of going extinct, including face-to-face communication, sense of place, authentic emotion, and even boredom. Considering cultural trends, like TikTok challenges and mukbang, and politically unsettling phenomena, like sociometric trackers and online conspiracy culture, Rosen exposes an unprecedented shift in the human condition, one that habituates us to alienation and control. To recover our humanity and come back to the real world, we must reclaim serendipity, community, patience, and risk.
