"Es geht zu Ende mit der alten Wahrheit." Die alte Wahrheit, das sind laut Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) die Götzen ihrer Zeit, die es quasi mit dem Hammer zu zerschlagen gilt. Im letzten Jahr seines Schaffens (1888) beschritt Nietzsche damit den Weg der "Umwertung aller Werte" weiter - bevor ihn die Geisteskrankheit ereilte. Sein ungeduldiger Tonfall lässt vermuten, dass Nietzsche ahnte, was ihm bevorstand...

At the age of eight, Karl Popper was puzzling over the idea of infinity and by fifteen was beginning to take a keen interest in his father's well-stocked library of books. Unended Quest recounts these moments and many others in the life of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century, providing an indispensable account of the ideas that influenced him most. As an introduction to Popper's philosophy, Unended Quest also shines. Popper lucidly explains the central ideas in his work, making this book ideal for anyone coming to Popper's life and work for the first time.

"Wie man wird, was man ist." So beschreibt Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) seine autobiografische Schrift, in der er rückblickend Deutungen seiner eigenen philosophischen Schriften darlegt.

"Ecce Homo" ist das letzte Werk vor seinem Nervenzusammenbruch im Jahre 1889.

Este sfârșitul anului 1932. Trei prieteni reuniți la faimoasa cafenea Bec-de-Gaz de pe rue Montparnasse din Paris dezbat aprins în timp ce își sorb cocktailul de caise. Detaliu care, la o primă vedere, ar putea părea o simplă anecdotă, dacă nu ar fi prilejuit nașterea unui sistem filozofic care a marcat istoria intelectuală a secolului XX: existențialismul. Cei trei prieteni sunt Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir și Raymond Aron, iar episodul întâlnirii lor dă tonul acestei admirabile relatări, care ne poartă pe urmele celor mai importanți făuritori de idei filozofice ai veacului trecut.

I could have written a book about my path of healing from the severe physical and sexual abuse I endured in childhood. I could have written a book about my professional life in intelligence and security, and what it taught me about what goes on in the shadows of power (state and corporate). I could have written a book about my lifelong journey into mysticism, yoga, shamanism and the occult, and articulated the powerful realizations I have stumbled into along the way.

Karl Marx, der revolutionäre Querkopf und Vordenker des 19. Jahrhunderts, ist wieder da. Seit der Kommunismus in seinem Namen - aber nicht in seinem Sinne - Geschichte ist, feiert er ein bemerkenswertes Comeback. Anlässlich seines 200. Geburtstags erkundet Jürgen Neffe dessen Ursachen - in Marx' Schriften wie in seiner Biografie. Er schildert das Leben eines Flüchtlings und geduldeten Staatenlosen, der für seine Überzeugungen keine Opfer scheut.

Ecce Homo is Nietzsche's compelling autobiography, written in 1888, just weeks before he succumbed to madness. Nietzsche's last great work, a fascinating and bizarre text, traces the development of his own philosophy and the thinkers who influenced him along the way.

Konfuzius war ein chinesischer Philosoph zur Zeit der Östlichen Zhou-Dynastie. Er lebte vermutlich von 551 v. Chr. bis 479 v. Chr. und wurde unter dem Namen Kong Qiu in der Stadt Qufu im chinesischen Staat Lu (der heutigen Provinz Shandong) geboren, wo er auch starb. Das zentrale Thema seiner Lehren war die menschliche Ordnung, die seiner Meinung nach durch Achtung vor anderen Menschen und Ahnenverehrung erreichbar sei.

"In der Form der Aussage (...) wurde zunehmend ein Problem wichtig: Es muß gelingen, die Substanz der Philosophie, wenn sie einmal erarbeitet ist, in eine einfache Reflexionsfolge und Sprache zu bringen, sodass Philosophie ohne Substanzverlust nach einem elitären auch ein allgemeines Denken werden kann. "Die 'Einführung in die Philosophie" (1950) war der erste und glücklichste Versuch darin (...)." (Hans Saner)

When philosophy professor Adam Briggle moved to Denton, Texas, he had never heard of fracking. Only five years later, he would successfully lead a citizens' initiative to ban hydraulic fracturing in Denton - the first Texas town to challenge the oil and gas industry.
