Publié en 1848, Le manifeste du Parti communiste est antérieur à toutes les obédiences auxquelles on l'associe machinalement. Marx suit les principes du mouvement dialectique hégélien et l'applique à la politique. On retrouve ici le renversement célèbre du maître et de l'esclave, où c'est finalement le "prolétaire" qui par sa force de production est en position dominante dans la société. Mais cette domination naturelle lui est refusée, il faut donc qu'il la revendique à travers une révolution.

On the Social Contract's appeal and influence has been wide-ranging and continuous. It has been called an encomium to democracy and, at the same time, a blueprint for totalitarianism.

When she moved her young family to her husband's hometown in northern France, Karen Le Billon expected some cultural adjustment. But she didn't expect to be lectured for slipping her fussing toddler a snack, or to be forbidden from packing her older daughter a school lunch.

Ecce homo est une autobiographie à la fois parodique et philosophique de Friedrich Nietzsche. C'est aussi le dernier ouvrage original, avant la période de démence de ses dernières années de vie. Ecce Homo, malgré sa brièveté, est l'un des livres les plus importants pour comprendre la pensée nietzschéenne dans son originalité. Au cours de ces quelque cent pages, Nietzsche invente un nouveau type d'écriture, tonitruant et virtuose, qui lui permet de réaliser son programme de "philosophie à coups de marteau". Nietzsche est ici clair, dense et brillant. Rédigé en 1888, il fut publié à titre posthume en 1908.
