Ancient cultures have been looking up at the stars for thousands of years, wondering about their place in the universe. What were those glowing spots in the black cover of night? Just how far away was the moon? These and other questions hounded humanity through the millennia until, finally, relative economic stability allowed for a number of people to examine their world more closely. Slowly, knowledge and understanding accumulated generation by generation until the conditions were ideal enough for a revolution to occur in thinking, experimentation, worldview, and natural philosophy.

Ever since the human mind developed the capacity for thought, people have pondered not just the meaning of life, but the genesis of the world, the universe, and all the natural marvels and precious forms of life within it. To this day, all of these intricate subjects continue to be matters of great contention, and they are often best encapsulated in the debate between creationism and evolution. On the one hand are those who are adamant that it was God, or some other supreme being, that designed and crafted every detail of the universe.

It might be fair to say that everyone's thinking has been influenced at one point or another by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, or at least someone who was influenced in turn by Nietzsche. Nietzsche (1844-1900) was one of the most influential men of the 19th century, a German philosopher, poet, and composer who wrote at length about everything from religion to science. In addition to the importance of his work, he was a deft writer and polemic, ensuring his continuing popularity among readers.

This volume gathers studies by prominent scholars and philosophers about the question how have major figures from the history of philosophy, and some contemporary philosophers, addressed "the ultimate why question": why is there anything at all rather than nothing whatsoever? The authors take this question seriously, striving to go beyond accounting for the present state of reality as distinguished from a prior or subsequent state, to the more profound question of discerning why anything whatsoever exists.

A cultural and intellectual history of sincerity, from its emergence during the Protestant Reformation to its present incarnations and adversaries. People have long been duped by "straight-talking" politicians, confessional talk-show hosts, and falsely earnest advertisers. As sincerity has become suspect, the upright and honest have taken refuge in irony.

Around the turn of the nineteenth century, a steady stream of young German poets and thinkers coursed to the town of Jena to make history. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars had dealt a one-two punch to the dynastic system. Confidence in traditional social, political, and religious norms had been replaced by a profound uncertainty that was as terrifying for some as it was exhilarating for others. Nowhere was the excitement more palpable than among the extraordinary group of poets, philosophers, translators, and socialites who gathered in this Thuringian village.

Nei momenti di crisi e trasformazione come quello che stiamo vivendo, la filosofia può aiutarci a rispondere alle domande più urgenti. Dobbiamo solo interrogarla. È ciò che fanno i filosofi e scrittori Andrea Colamedici e Maura Gancitano: mettendo in comunicazione il nostro presente con l'Atene del V secolo a.C., interrogano i pensatori dell'età classica, ma non solo, sui temi del dibattito contemporaneo.

"The Joyful Wisdom", written in 1882, just before "Zarathustra", is rightly judged to be one of Nietzsche's best books. Here the essentially grave and masculine face of the poet-philosopher is seen to light up and suddenly break into a delightful smile. The warmth and kindness that beam from his features will astonish those hasty psychologists who have never divined that behind the destroyer is the creator, and behind the blasphemer the lover of life.

To avoid the hurt from life's failures, we allow in more pain by downsizing our dreams. You know that you can reach that mountain top, yet deny it out of conditioned fear. The only way up is to remove every single layer of faulty programming.

Hvad kendetegner kærlighed? Det er det store spørgsmål, som "Kierkegaard og kærlighedens kendetegn" forsøger at give svar på. Søren Kierkegaards bog "Kjerlighedens Gjerninger" udkom i 1847. Den har siden opnået nærmest ikonisk status; det er en bog, der bliver refereret til og citeret fra i mange forskellige sammenhænge, og det er en af den slags bøger, der kan være livsforandrende for sin læser. Men det er også en bog, der har ry for at være svær at læse.

Most of us experience the world through competing perspectives. A job or a religion seems important and fulfilling when looked at in one way; but from a different angle they seem tedious or ridiculous. A friend is obtuse from one point of view, wise from another. Continuing to hold both views at once can be unsettling, highlighting conflicts between our own judgments and values, and undermining our ability to live purposefully and effectively. Yet, as Jennifer Church argues in this book, inner conflict can be a good thing.

Als Friedrich Nietzsche im Jahre 1878 sein aphoristisches Werk "Menschliches, Allzumenschliches" herausbrachte, war schlagartig klar, dass hier einer der ganz Großen der Philosophie die Weltbühne betreten hatte. Die hier vorliegende Sammlung vereint die Teile "Von den ersten und letzten Dingen", "Zur Geschichte der moralischen Empfindungen", "Aus der Seele der Künstler und Schriftsteller", "Der Mensch im Verkehr", "Der Mensch mit sich allein", sowie eine Auswahl aus seinem 1887 veröffentlichten Werk "Die fröhliche Wissenschaft".

Ve ne sarete accorti: il mondo è cambiato. Senza alcun preavviso. Gli uomini si depilano come modelle e le donne hanno schiene tatuate come i marinai. I cani vanno in giro con le scarpe, mentre il prof consulta lo smartphone con un paio di occhiali fluo. Sì, qualcosa è cambiato là fuori e, a furia di stropicciarsi gli occhi, si rischia lo strabismo (di Venere e pure di Marte). A chi rivolgersi dunque per chiedere spiegazioni? Allo chef a cinque stelle? Al tipo del meteo? All’industriale della scarpa? No di certo: alla grande filosofia occidentale, dalle origini a oggi.
