The Silent War

Henry J. Rogers

The Silent War

Amid the smoky dance clubs and seedy sections of town, there exist a thriving pornography industry. But it doesn?t end there, and so the danger to men is all the greater.

It is the world that author Henry Rogers reveals to us in a book that has too few peers. The Silent War, through interviews, statistics, and other facts, traces the...

Nicomachean Ethics (Translated by W. D. Ross with an Introduction by R. W. Browne)

Composed of ten books and based upon Aristotle’s own notes from his lectures at the Lyceum, “Nicomachean Ethics” holds a pre-eminent place amongst the ancient treatises on moral philosophy. As opposed to other pre-Socratic works, “Nicomachean Ethics” moves beyond the purely theoretical analysis of moral philosophy by examining its practical application. Aristotelian ethics is concerned with how an individual should best live their life and at its core asserts the idea that the most virtuous life...

Immanuel Kant

Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals (Translated by Thomas Kingsmill Abbott)

The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant is widely considered as one the most important figures in modern philosophy. His fundamental arguments with regard to the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics, have been highly influential and form the basis for much of contemporary thought upon the subjects with which he was concerned. Kant believed that there were fundamental concepts that structured human experience, and that reason principally...

Ethics

Benedict De spinoza

Ethics

“Ethics” is the most famous work of Benedict de Spinoza, who is considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy. Spinoza was born of Jewish and Portuguese ancestry in 1632 and lived a simple life in Amsterdam as an optical lens grinder.

In this seminal work, Spinoza lays out his...

Friedrich Nietzsche

Beyond Good and Evil (Translated by Helen Zimmern with Introductions by Willard Huntington Wright and Thomas Common)

German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche was one the most controversial figures of the 19th century. His evocative writings on religion, morality, culture, philosophy, and science were often polemic attacks against the established views of his time. First published in 1886, “Beyond Good and Evil” is a work that draws upon and expands the ideas that Nietzsche first addressed in his previous work, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra.” Nietzsche contrasts the concepts of good and evil as they were viewed in...

The Socratic Writings (Memorabilia, Economist, Symposium, Apology, Hiero)

A Greek soldier, wealthy Athenian, Attic poet, and historian in the late 5th century B.C., Xenophon was a prolific writer and friend of Socrates during his lifetime.

This work then relates a series of episodes in which Socrates converses with a variety of individuals, from friends to rivals to important Greeks of his day, proving the value and wisdom of Socrates'...

The Art of Rhetoric

Aristotle

The Art of Rhetoric

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Despite dating from the 4th century BC, The Art of Rhetoric continues to be regarded by many as the single most important work on the art of persuasion.

In response to this, both politicians and ordinary citizens...

Freedom from Speech

Greg Lukianoff

Freedom from Speech

This is a surreal time for freedom of speech. While the legal protections of the First Amendment remain strong, the culture is obsessed with punishing individuals for allegedly offensive utterances. And academia  already an institution in which free speech is in decline  has grown still more intolerant, with high-profile disinvitation” efforts against well-known speakers and demands for professors to provide trigger warnings” in class....

Kod

Kod

De fleste af os elsker kod, og bare tanken om fedtdryppende steaks far munden til at lobe i vand. Men kod er ikke sa uskyldig en nAeringskilde, som supermarkederne gerne vil bilde os ind. Millioner af dyr far hver dag en boltpistol for panden og en tur gennem kodhakkeren for at tilfredsstille vores kodelige lyster, og sporgsmalet om frikadeller eller ej bringer altid blodet i kog hos gud og hvermand. Det er vist pa tide, at Jonatan Leer, kodAeder med samvittighedskvaler ved Aarhus Universitet,...

Sandhed

Sandhed

Den kan vAere ilde hort, hel og halv, og den hele far du fra born og fulde folk. Der er sandt at sige tale om sandheden. Eller maske sandheder, for der er flere udgaver. Astronomer mener ikke lAengere, Pluto er en planet, men det gjorde de engang. Nogle tror, Jesus er sandheden, andre Koranen. Uanset hvad vil en ungkarl altid vAere ugift. Alt er nemlig ikke relativt.

KAerlighed

KAerlighed

KAerligheden er overalt. En romantisk kliche? Nej, et videnskabeligt faktum. Sporg bare Anne Marie Pahuus, filosof ved Aarhus Universitet. KAerligheden er i det storste som det mindste: Vi elsker vores born, og vi elsker is, nogle elsker endda Jesus, andre den danske sommer. KAerlighed er limen i alle parforhold og kernen i ethvert samfund. Den spAender vidt, fra lykke til lidelse, fra kedelig til kvalmende. Den kan overvinde alt og give evige sorger. Men siden tidernes morgen har hverken...

Byen

Enhver by er et netvAerk. Af indbyggere og bygninger, gader og strAeder, kabler og kloakker, som forbinder sig med hinanden pa kryds og tvAers. Og hver by indgar i nye og storre monstre med andre byer, vokser ud over alle grAenser og langt over vores hoveder. Endda i en sadan grad, at byerne ifolge Mikkel Thelle, indfodt kobenhavner og urban historiker ved Aarhus Universitet, indoptager deres tidligere modsAetninger, og det ikke lAengere giver mening at tale om land eller natur. I stedet vil...

Skam

Carsten Stage

Skam

Skam gor os ilde tilpas. Sa snart vi foler os negativt bedomt, pibler sveden frem, rodmen stiger op i kinderne, og vi kigger febrilsk efter et musehul at krybe i. Heldigvis ser andre mennesker os ikke nodvendigvis sadan, som vi frygter. Alligevel er der ifolge Carsten Stage, blufAerdig skamforsker ved Aarhus Universitet, ingen grund til at bide hovedet af al skam. Skam kan vAere en konstruktiv kilde til selvrefleksion og endda til politisk mobilisering. For uden nogen skam i livet ville vi ikke...

Sorg

Sorg

Den tid, den sorg, siger vi. Men den tid kommer altid. For sorg er et grundvilkar for os alle. Engang vil vi miste dem, vi elsker, og de vil miste os. Sorg foler vi dog ikke kun, nar et menneske dor. Vi mAerker ogsa fortvivlelsen, nar vi lider andre af livets mange tab, fra skilsmisser til alvorlig sygdom. Ifolge Mai-Britt Guldin, sorgforsker ved Aarhus Universitet, skal vi ikke tage sorgerne pa forskud. Hvis vi til gengAeld tor give sorgen en plads i livet, nar den dukker op, kan dens smerte...

Serier

Ahr… lige en mere og en til … Nej, det er ikke en slikmund, der retfAerdiggor et par skumfiduser, men udtryk for en langt stAerkere trang, vi alle lider af, nemlig begAeret efter serier. Deres cliffhangere, fortryllende verdener og andre udspekulerede tricks har gjort os afhAengige af alt fra podcasts til bogfoljetoner.
