Stefan Zweig escribió esta lección sobre la tolerancia en 1936, en un momento en que los derechos humanos que ya se consideraban seguros estaban siendo amenazados y restringidos masivamente por el nacionalsocialismo. La narración histórica se sitúa en la época de la Reforma. Aquí se encuentran el fanático de la Reforma Jean Calvin y el teólogo liberal Sebastián Castellio. Calvino, quien junto con Martín Lutero es probablemente la figura más influyente en el movimiento de Reforma, logra tomar el poder en la ciudad república de Ginebra.

Sujet d'intense fascination, le Marquis de Sade a acquis au fil des décennies une image qui relève du mythe. En occultant, détournant et justifiant les faits historiques, de nombreux intellectuels du XXème siècle interprètent avec complaisance la vie et la littérature du Marquis jusqu'à l'ériger en symbole. Briseur de tabous, libérateur de la sexualité, Révolutionnaire et féministe avant l'heure ? La réalité du personnage est autre.

En los siglos anteriores a él, la filosofía había sido peligrosa para los filósofos, pero con Friedrich Nietzsche resulta peligrosa para todo el mundo. Nietzsche enloqueció y su locura presagió la demencia colectiva que había de tener consecuencias horrendas en Europa durante la primera...

Le Meditazioni di Marco Aurelio, un'opera fondamentale della filosofia stoica, offrono un'immersione profonda nelle riflessioni personali dell'ultimo dei "Cinque Buoni Imperatori" romani. Scritto come un diario durante le sue campagne militari, questo testo rivela l'intima lotta di un imperatore con questioni di moralità, destino e virtù. Marco Aurelio, regnante dal 161 al 180 d.C., incarna l'ideale stoico di virtù e saggezza attraverso la pratica dell'autodisciplina, della resilienza e del controllo delle passioni, sottolineando che la vera felicità deriva dall'interno.

Set in Provence, London, and New York, this is a daughter’s wonderfully evocative and witty memoir of her mother and stepfather—Dee Wells, the glamorous and rebellious American journalist, and A. J. Ayer, the celebrated and worldly Oxford philosopher—and the life they lived at the center of absolutely everything.

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”.

Friedrich Nietzsche was a born philosopher. It seems that ever since he crawled out of the cradle, he questioned the world around him. Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? Where are we headed as a society? These were things that Nietzsche would endlessly speculate about, probing the depths in order to find answers to these most difficult of questions. In the process, he had nihilistic visions of supermen, antichrists, and Zarathustra. For Friedrich Nietzsche, a man who was accustomed to questioning everything, reality itself was a long, strange trip.

Aniela Jaffé was given permission to quote from Jung’s highly personal "Red Book," and she does so in her essay on Jung’s creative phases. Shortly before her death, the author also updated and expanded her long-famous article addressing the National Socialism accusations leveled against Jung. Sir Laurens van der Post provides a sharp echo in his Epilogue, written especially for this edition.

In 1929, he met Simone de Beauvoir, who went on to become a celebrated feminist writer and philosopher, with whom he had a lifelong intellectual and romantic relationship.

To listen to The Sayings of Marcus is to walk beside an emperor who governed not through cruelty or conquest, but by reason, restraint, and virtue. This collection presents rare, firsthand glimpses of Marcus Aurelius not as a distant symbol of power, but as a human being navigating the immense burden of imperial responsibility with unwavering Stoic discipline. Here is Marcus confronting betrayal with mercy, rejecting revenge in the arena, and speaking candidly of philosophy, war, death, and duty. His words, at once spare and profound, offer a timeless testament to character under pressure.

De Griekse historicus Herodotus (circa 480-430 v.Chr.) heeft veel eretitels gekregen. In de oudheid stond hij al bekend als ‘vader der geschiedenis’ en tegenwoordig noemt men hem eerder ‘vader der journalistiek’ en ‘eerste wereldreiziger’. Zijn indrukwekkende boek Historiën is grensverleggend en letterlijk grensoverschrijdend geweest. In deze hoorcolleges bespreekt classicus en Byzantinoloog Hein van Dolen de methode van Herodotus, zijn bronnen en zijn eigen onderzoekingen, waarbij Herodotus de gewoonten en eigenaardigheden van vreemde volkeren beschreef.
