The Dawn of Day

Friedrich Nietzsche

The Dawn of Day
By Friedrich Nietzsche
What if the true dawn of humanity is not behind us, but still ahead? In The Dawn of Day, Nietzsche invites you to peer into the quiet moments before sunrise - where morality, truth, and belief begin to shift their shape.
Known as one of the most provocative minds in Western philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche sought to untangle the inherited dogmas of his age. This work marks a turning point in his thought, foreshadowing the bold ideas of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil. Here, Nietzsche begins to question the foundations of religion, ethics, and self - urging readers to wake from the slumber of convention and to seek their own truths.
Explore entries that challenge the origins of conscience, dissect the psychology of altruism, and examine the hidden instincts that shape our so-called morality. Each aphorism opens a door - sometimes to wonder, sometimes to unease - but always toward deeper self-awareness.
More than a philosophical treatise, The Dawn of Day remains a timeless journey into the labyrinth of human nature. Nietzsche's insights continue to influence thinkers, artists, and seekers over a century later. His call for intellectual courage is as relevant now as ever.
This immersive audiobook experience, brought to life with crystal-clear AI narration, delivers Nietzsche’s words with precision and emotional nuance—inviting you to engage deeply, reflect boldly, and listen actively.
Dare to step into the shadows before sunrise. Buy now and awaken your own dawn of thought.

Evolution Is Wrong - A Radical...

Erich von Däniken

A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists’ Theory No Longer Explains Everything
There was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution, conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then people discovered the electron microscope. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly questions about evolution arose that were not possible before. Which force actually bundles the atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell actually come about? How does inheritance work, how does information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates—as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed—or did additional “engines” intervene in evolution?
Today it is clear: countless questions can no longer be answered with the previous theory of evolution. There is a form of life called “Blob” (Physarum polycephalum). The “thing” has neither eyes nor ears, neither a mouth nor a nose or even a brain. Nevertheless, it takes in food, overcomes obstacles by the shortest route and exchanges information with other “blobs.” The “blob” contradicts any evolutionary thought that one develops from the other. Or the “gastric-brooding frogs” (Rheobatrachus) found in Australia. They hatch their young in the stomach. Impossible in a slow, evolutionary process.
Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called “Intelligent Design.” Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? Aliens?—could be behind this planning.
Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.
