Beschreibung

In "The Iconic Works of U. G. Krishnamurti," readers are invited into a profound exploration of consciousness and self-liberation, encapsulating the radical ideas of one of the 20th century's most intriguing thinkers. Krishnamurti's literary style is marked by a conversational yet piercing prose that seeks to dismantle conventional spirituality and philosophical constructs, urging readers to experience truth beyond dogma. The book delves into his core teachings, characterized by an emphasis on direct experience rather than inherited beliefs, which situates his work within the broader context of existential thought and non-duality. U. G. Krishnamurti, an Indian philosopher often regarded as the 'anti-guru,' lived a life steeped in the tension between tradition and individual insight. His past as a seeker, coupled with profound personal revelations, shaped his disdain for rituals and authority in spirituality. His journey, moving through various cultural landscapes and intellectual terrains, led him to articulate a philosophy that challenges the status quo and encourages radical personal introspection. For those seeking liberation from societal constraints and an authentic awakening, "The Iconic Works of U. G. Krishnamurti" serves not just as a philosophical text, but as an experiential guide. This book is highly recommended for spiritual seekers, philosophers, and anyone interested in breaking free from preconceived notions of existence.

    Kierkegaard - Søren Kierkegaard, often regarded as the father of existentialism, was born on May 5, 1813, in Copenhagen, Denmark. His early life was marked by tragedy, as his mother died when he was just a child, and his father, a deeply religious man, instilled in him a sense of guilt and the weight of existential questioning. Kierkegaard’s relationship with his father deeply influenced his philosophical development, particularly in his exploration of faith, despair, and the individual's relationship with God. 
    Jean-Paul Sartre - Jean-Paul Sartre, a towering figure in 20th-century philosophy, is perhaps best known for his development of existentialism, a school of thought that emphasizes individual freedom, choice, and the creation of meaning in an otherwise indifferent universe. Sartre’s philosophy arises from the existentialist tradition but distinguishes itself through its rigorous approach to human freedom and responsibility. At the heart of Sartre's thought is the idea that human beings are condemned to be free, burdened with the constant task of making choices without any external justification or predetermined essence.

    Few military organisations have had a greater importance than the Wagner Group: at a cursory glance no more than a disreputable private mercenary group dedicated to committing war crimes yet also, astonishingly, the challengers of the Kremlin on 23-24 June, 2023-unheard of in over two decades of Vladimir Putin's rule. From its inception in 2014 this nebulous organisation operating from Russia was intentionally cloaked in questions. How was it able to operate alongside Russia's top government officials? How could it deploy the logistical systems of the Russian army up to and including ordering air attacks with fighter planes of the Russian Federation, despite the deep antipathy of Russia's powerful defence minister Sergei Shoigu? Why did the Kremlin provide such an ample helping hand to its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, for over a decade? In this compelling book, former Financial Times journalist Owen Wilson investigates the Wagner Group and their ties to Vladimir Putin. It skilfully sets out its history and the dramatic death of Yevgeny Prigozhin to cast a searching light on the person who ultimately stands behind the group.
