Nel Quattrocento e nel Cinquecento, la "casa" in cui gli uomini abitavano diventò più grande e misteriosa. Si scoprì l'esistenza di un nuovo continente, l'America; e qualcuno intuì che la Terra non era il centro dell'Universo, ma un sassolino che volava in uno spazio i cui confini, se esistevano, non potevano che essere irraggiungibili. A questa dilatazione dello spazio si accompagnò una dilatazione del tempo: giacché l'Antichità, che non era mai stata dimenticata, cessò di essere il passato e diventò un modello vivo e vicino.

True heroism does not seek applause. It does not wear armor or demand recognition. It walks quietly, steady in its purpose, untouched by fear or flattery. In Heroism, Ralph Waldo Emerson strips away the illusions of grandeur and reveals the essence of courage: a quiet, unwavering commitment to one's own principles. This is not a celebration of warriors or conquerors but of those who face the world with integrity, who move through life unshaken by its storms.

The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. Although it was written in 1888, its controversial content caused its publication to be delayed. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word Christ is translated. Nietzsche claimed in the foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader "...must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion."

Ralph Waldo Emerson's The Over-Soul isn't just an essay—it's a revelation. It speaks of a vast, unshakable presence within us all, a silent force that knows, guides, and connects. Beyond intellect, beyond ego, Emerson leads us to the infinite. The Over-Soul is the quiet voice of truth, the source of wisdom that needs no teacher. It is intuition over logic, unity over isolation. When we listen, the noise of the world fades, and something deeper takes its place—clarity, purpose, transcendence. Emerson doesn't explain; he awakens.

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's autobiography, Ecce Homo, was the last prose work that he wrote before his illness in 1889. Coming at the end of an extraordinarily productive year in which he had produced The Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist, Nietzsche shuns any pretense at modesty with chapter titles include “Why I am so Wise”, “Why I am so Clever” and “Why I Write Such Excellent Books”. His translator Anthony M. Ludovici states, Ecce Homo “is not only a coping-stone worthy of the wonderful creations of that year, but also a fitting conclusion to his whole life.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) ist bis heute einer der bedeutendsten Philosophen. Die Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten ist eine der wichtigsten Schriften Immanuel Kants.

1513: Firenze è per l'ennesima volta al centro di una temperie politica. Si è appena chiusa, con l'appoggio di Giulio II, la parentesi repubblicana della città iniziata nel 1494 con la caduta medicea, in cui tanta parte avevano avuto le predicazioni del Savonarola. I figli di Lorenzo il Magnifico, Giovanni dei Medici (ormai prossimo al soglio pontificio con il nome di Leone X) e suo fratello Giuliano si impegnano a consolidare il potere riacquisito, a sedare le tensioni, a rappacificare le fazioni.

Neste volume, Eduardo Kickhöfel dedica-se a formular um impasse diante do qual estaria o pensamento filosófico na atualidade: a filosofia não teria mais nada a dizer sobre a mente e a consciência, visto que a ciência dissecou o cérebro? Ao contrário, ela ainda tem muito a dizer...

"Jak se stal z člověka staršího člověk moderní? Co ho činí moderním?" Tak se ptá Masaryk ve svém filozofickém díle, v němž uvažuje o duchovní krizi člověka v sekularizovaném světě. Krize moderního člověka je pro Masaryka krizí celého duchovního života. Tato krize se projevuje politicky, mravně, filozoficky i společensky – avšak jejím ohniskem byla podle Masaryka krize náboženská, kdy se moderní člověk odvrátil od vnějšího světa a začal se spoléhat jen na vlastní síly. V tomto spisu se Masaryk dotýká i sklonu k sebevraždám v moderní době a zamýšlí se nad jejich příčinami.

Écrit entre 1881 et 1887, après une période sombre, de bouleversement psychologique et philosophique Nietzsche propose d'affronter, de s'accomoder d'un monde ne soit pas là pour nous faire plaisir, sa pensée n'est plus une sombre méditation mais une exaltation de la vie. Il tente par des aphorismes de dégager des vérités claires sans chercher d'absolu.

"Un Mito Moderno sobre Cosas que se Ven en el Cielo" es un ensayo escrito por Carl Gustav Jung que aborda la temática de los OVNIs y los encuentros extraterrestres. Jung argumenta que estos encuentros no deben ser interpretados literalmente, sino como expresiones simbólicas del inconsciente colectivo y de la psique individual. Según él, los OVNIs y los seres extraterrestres representan arquetipos que se han manifestado en diferentes culturas y épocas, como el ángel, el demonio o el hada.

Sometimes our understanding of our universe is given a huge boost by one insightful thinker. Such a boost came in the first half of the 20th century, when an obscure Belgian priest put his mind to deciphering the nature of the cosmos. The Day Without Yesterday covers the modern history of an evolving universe, and how Georges Lemaître convinced a generation of thinkers to embrace the notion of cosmic expansion and the theory that this expansion could be traced backward to the cosmic origins, a starting point for space and time that Lemaître called "the day without yesterday".

Comparative studies often reveal similarities between greatly different cultures, even if those cultures are geographically separated by thousands of miles or historically distinct by thousands of years. This has been especially true in religion where similar ideas have been propounded by tribes or clans that have on the surface no contact historically or geographically with one another. For the phenomenologist, this kind of transcultural link or synchronicity is important because it raises the question of how religious ideas emerge and develop over time.
