Our Western cultural conversation, as invented by Plato, is made up of a dialectic between unity and diversity. Plato had thought to harmonize the unchangeableness of Parmenides with the constant change of the thinker Heraclitus. He invented this universe in which we have, up until now, been happily living. Unfortunately, the diversity/progressive side of this conversation has now destroyed whatever unity we could ever hope to have. The universe is kaput.

From the thermodynamics of policing in the cyberpunk present, to the psychiatric colonization of the image, to bodies that "go astray" in an increasingly reactionary society, Anti-Oculus maps out the ways we are captured under the eyes of cyber-capital and provokes us to find each other in pursuit of emancipation, community, and new forms of life.

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.

"Dies Buch gehört den Wenigsten. Vielleicht lebt selbst noch keiner von ihnen. Erst das Übermorgen gehört mir." Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) rechnete in dieser Schrift mit dem Christentum ab - wie üblich in einem Tonfall, der dem "Philosophieren mit dem Hammer" gleichkam. Ein zentrales Werk in Nietzsches Schaffen!

Prudence is not timidity. It is not caution for its own sake. It is the art of knowing when to act and when to wait, when to follow reason and when to trust instinct. In Prudence, Ralph Waldo Emerson reclaims this often-misunderstood virtue, not as mere carefulness but as the wisdom of navigating life with both vision and restraint. For Emerson, prudence is not the enemy of boldness but its quiet architect. It does not stifle ambition but shapes it, guiding passion with clarity and purpose. A mind without prudence rushes blindly; a mind ruled by it never moves at all.

Nothing stands still. The moment we grasp an idea, it expands beyond us. The instant we define a boundary, a wider one emerges. Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Circles is not about shapes on a page but about the shifting nature of thought, existence, and perception. Each insight is a stepping stone, each conclusion just another starting point. There is no final answer—only an ever-widening ring of understanding. Emerson writes with the quiet confidence of someone who has seen the world rearrange itself countless times. He does not dictate; he invites. He does not confine; he liberates.

Spring arrives with a rush of words, and Ralph Waldo Emerson stands at the threshold, pen in hand. May-Day and Other Pieces is not just a collection of poems—it is an invitation to witness the shifting tides of nature, thought, and destiny through the eyes of one of America's sharpest philosophical minds. From the awakening landscapes of May-Day to the untamed wilderness of The Adirondacs, Emerson moves effortlessly between the grandeur of the world and the depths of the soul.

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.

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.

Intellect is not a possession but a force—fluid, expansive, untamed. It cannot be hoarded, nor can it be caged within doctrine or tradition. In Intellect, Ralph Waldo Emerson urges us to see thought as a living current, not a stagnant pool. True understanding, he suggests, is not about collecting knowledge but about breaking through to deeper insight, where intuition leads and logic follows.

"Dass ich (...) vom "deutschen Wesen" zu fabeln begann (...) heute ist es mir ein unmögliches Buch" - so Nietzsche in seinem "Versuch einer Selbstkritik", dem der "Geburt der Tragödie" 14 Jahre später angefügten Vorwort aus dem Jahr 1886. Und tatsächlich birgt dieses Buch schwer zu ertragende Abschnitte, die sich, als Huldigung an die großen sächsischen Antiromanisten und Antisemiten Martin Luther und Richard Wagner, wie ein Hinweis auf den späteren Zusammenbruch der Menschlichkeit in Deutschland lesen.

In seinem philosophischen Hauptwerk Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung verwirft Arthur Schopenhauer jede Form von Glücklehre und entwickelt aus einem einzigen genialen Gedanken heraus eine denkbar pessimistische Sicht auf das Dasein als solches und eine Lehre von der Verneinung des Willens zum Leben. Kaum an einer anderen Stelle in seinem Werk spricht er dies so klar und so ausführlich aus wie in den hier zu hörenden Ergänzungen zum vierten Buch des 1. Bandes seines Hauptwerks.

What would you pay to have a wife who doesn't argue or nag? What would you pay for a husband who's actually in shape? What would you pay to have a clean garage? And what would you pay to be able to get up every morning when you wanted to? The problem is you can't pay for these things as they cannot be bought in stores. But they are definitely attainable in life. The only question is whether you are going to give up your current pursuit of traditional economic standards of living to attain them instead.

Are you tired of pretending to understand philosophers who write like they're being paid per syllable of confusion? This book is your revenge.

From the cosmic gibberish of Parmenides to Derrida’s textual striptease, this is the ultimate roast of Western philosophy’s most unreadable minds. Kant’s 800-page snoozefest? Ripped to shreds. Nietzsche’s gym-bro metaphysics? Dismantled with flair. Husserl’s bracketed nightmare?

Preuves à l'appui, Michel Onfray revient aux sources intellectuelles de l'antisémitisme de la gauche radicale. Au lendemain de la tragédie du 7 octobre, Michel Onfray s'est demandé pourquoi des millions de citoyens français avaient salué un grand jour pour le peuple palestinien. Son livre gravite autour de la question suivante : quel rôle ont joué les philosophes du XXe siècle dans la construction de cette effrayante passion triste qu'est le consentement au sadisme des bourreaux contre des victimes innocentes.

In "Atlas Struggled," Sophia Blackwell delivers a hilarious and scathing takedown of Ayn Rand, the failed screenwriter who somehow convinced generations of insecure men that being selfish isn't just acceptable—it's the highest moral virtue. With her signature blend of merciless mockery and genuine insight, Blackwell dissects Rand's life and philosophy, revealing how a Russian immigrant with a persecution complex created a "philosophical" system that's really just elaborate justification for being terrible to other people.

We need something in real-time, something that reflects our civilization and culture. That something is politics, Thus, we must start by adding the dimension of science to the study of politics. This is why this audiobook, The Biology of Politics, was written.

La desacralizzazione e la scristianizzazione accompagnano il destino dell'uomo occidentale. La civiltà del capitalismo assoluto, che basa il suo dominio sul nichilismo relativista e sulla volontà di potenza tecnoscientifica, non solo non ha più bisogno di affidarsi, come un tempo, alla religione quale strumento di potere: deve necessariamente promuoverne l'estinzione.

Peut-on encore parler de philosophie après Hiroshima ? Cette question résume à elle seule le désarroi et l'angoisse des philosophes de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle après les atrocités des guerres mondiales. Mais ce désarroi est en germe dès le XIXe siècle, suscité notamment par les « philosophes du soupçon ». Cet ouvrage interroge la spécificité de la philosophie contemporaine et les fondements de ce désenchantement.
