Dr. Orison Swett Marden triumphed over his tragic childhood to become a man who was revered by millions and who became known worldwide as "The Father of the American Success Movement".

At the dawn of World War I, a young academic named John Maynard Keynes hastily folded his long legs into the sidecar of his brother-in-law’s motorcycle for an odd, frantic journey that would change the course of history. Swept away from his placid home at Cambridge University by the currents of the conflict, Keynes found himself thrust into the halls of European treasuries to arrange emergency loans and packed off to America to negotiate the terms of economic combat.

An accessible, expert introduction to one of the greatest minds of 19th century. Whether you're completely new to him, or if you're already familiar with his work, Kierkegaard: A Single Life presents a fresh understanding of his life and thought. Kierkegaard was a brilliant and enigmatic loner whose ideas permeated culture, shaped modern Christianity, and influenced people as diverse as Franz Kafka and Martin Luther King Jr. Though few people today have read his work, that lack of familiarity with the real Kierkegaard is changing with this biography by scholar Stephen Backhouse.

This audiobook introduces the key ideas, themes and working methods of each featured individual, setting their ideas within a wider historical and cultural context.

Adam Smith is now widely regarded as 'the father of modern economics' and the most influential economist who ever lived. But what he really thought, and what the implications of his ideas are, remain fiercely contested. Was he an eloquent advocate of capitalism and the freedom of the individual? Or a prime mover of 'market fundamentalism' and an apologist for inequality and human selfishness? This exceptional book, by a writer who combines to an unusual degree intellectual training and practical political experience, dispels the myths and caricatures and gives us Smith in the round.

Once we were drivers, the open road alive with autonomy, adventure, danger, trust, and speed. Today we are as likely to be in the back seat of an Uber as behind the wheel ourselves. Tech giants are hurling us toward a shiny, happy "self-driving" future, selling utopia but equally keen to advertise to a captive audience strapped into another expensive device. Are we destined, then, to become passengers, not drivers? Why We Drive reveals that much more may be at stake than we might think.

Author Jeremy Gray provides a comprehensive and intellectually stimulating introduction to Bernhard Riemann’s life and paradigm-defining work. Beginning with his early influences - in particular, his relationship with his renowned predecessor Carl Friedrich Gauss - Gray goes on to explore Riemann’s specific contributions to geometry, functions of a complex variable, prime numbers, and functions of a real variable, which opened the way to discovering the limits of the calculus.

In den Briefen, abgeschickt u.a. aus Turin, Nizza, Sils Maria, an seine Mutter, seine Schwester, an Freunde wie den Komponisten Peter Gast, an Kollegen wie den Historiker Jakob Burkhard oder den ersten Professor, der in Kopenhagen eine Nietzsche-Vorlesung gehalten hat, Brandes, zeigt sich der Philosoph Nietzsche von einer sehr privaten Seite, berichtet von Begegnungen und dem täglichen Leben, meist bekümmert über seinen schlechten Gesundheitszustand, aber mehr noch ernüchtert, erbost zuweilen, traurig gestimmt, dass eine intellektuelle Resonanz auf sein Werk mit einer Ausnahme so gut wie gar nicht zu erkennen ist.

"Es geht zu Ende mit der alten Wahrheit." Die alte Wahrheit, das sind laut Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) die Götzen ihrer Zeit, die es quasi mit dem Hammer zu zerschlagen gilt. Im letzten Jahr seines Schaffens (1888) beschritt Nietzsche damit den Weg der "Umwertung aller Werte" weiter - bevor ihn die Geisteskrankheit ereilte. Sein ungeduldiger Tonfall lässt vermuten, dass Nietzsche ahnte, was ihm bevorstand...

These were among the questions that philosophers wrestled with in mid-twentieth-century Britain, a period shadowed by war and the rise of fascism. In response to these events, thinkers such as Philippa Foot (originator of the famous trolley problem), Isaiah Berlin, Iris Murdoch, Elizabeth Anscombe, Gilbert Ryle, and J. L. Austin aspired to a new level of watchfulness and self-awareness about language as a way of keeping philosophy true to everyday experience.

" Le 19 avril 1980, une foule immense, silencieuse, accompagne le convoi funèbre de Sartre jusqu’au cimetière du Montparnasse, à Paris.

Comment expliquer sa notoriété, comment mesurer aujourd’hui l’impact de la pensée et de l’écriture de Sartre dans la société actuelle ?

Balthasar Gracián wurde am 8. Januar 1601 in Belmonte de Calatayud (Aragon) geboren.

After the execution of Socrates in 399 BC, a number of his followers wrote dialogues featuring him as the protagonist and, in so doing, transformed the great philosopher into a legendary figure. Xenophon's portrait is the only one other than Plato's to survive, and while it offers a very personal interpretation of Socratic thought, it also reveals much about the man and his philosophical views.

Die Entwicklungstheorie Ernst Haeckels und insbesondere dessen "biogenetisches Grundgesetz" übten einen kaum zu überschätzenden Einfluss auf das steinersche Denken aus. Der kurze Text "Haeckel und seine Gegner" von 1900 bildet, neben seinen anderen intellektuellen Biographien über Goethe und Nietzsche, eine aufschlussreiche Quelle zum Verständnis der Entwicklung Rudolf Steiners, sowohl was sein vortheosophisches Werk angeht als auch im Hinblick auf seine spätere Esoterik.
