A deluxe, high-quality edition of Friedrich Nietzscheâ ™s seminal work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the final books by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. This landmark work continues to be one of the most well-known and influential explorations of moral and ethical philosophy ever conceived. Expanding on the concepts from his previous work Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche adopts a polemic approach to past philosophers who, in his view, lacked critical sense in accepting flawed premises in their consideration of morality. The metaphysics of morality, Nietzsche argues, should not assume that a good man is simply the opposite of an evil man, rather merely different expression of humanityâ ™s common basic impulses. Controversial in its time, as well as hotly debated in the present, Nietzscheâ ™s work moves beyond conventional ethics to suggest that a universal morality for all human beings in non-existent â “ perception, reason and experience are not static, but change according to an individualâ ™s perspective and interpretation. The work further argues that philosophic traditions such as â œtruth,⠝ â œself-consciousness⠝ and â œfree will⠝ are merely inventions of Western morality and that the â œwill to power⠝ is the real driving force of all human behaviour. This volume: Critiques the belief that actions, including domination or injury to the weak, can be universally objectionableExplores themes of religion and â œmaster and slave⠝ moralityIncludes a collection of stunning aphorisms and observations of the human condition Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon,this collectible, hard-back edition of Beyond Good and Evil provides an accessible and insightful Introduction by leading Nietzsche authority Dr Christopher Janaway.

Friedrich Nietzsche s Beyond Good and Evil is translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale with an introduction by Michael Tanner in Penguin Classics. Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche s position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a slave morality . With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own will to power upon the world. This edition includes a commentary on the text by the translator and Michael Tanner s introduction, which explains some of the more abstract passages in Beyond Good and Evil. Frederich Nietzsche (1844-1900) became the chair of classical philology at Basel University at the age of 24 until his bad health forced him to retire in 1879. He divorced himself from society until his final collapse in 1899 when he became insane. A powerfully original thinker, Nietzsche s influence on subsequent writers, such as George Bernard Shaw, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann and Jean-Paul Sartre, was considerable. If you enjoyed Beyond Good and Evil you might like Nietzsche s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, also available in Penguin Classics.

Friedrich Nietzsche s philosophical work Beyond Good and Evil questions conventional morality and intellectual assumptions. According to Nietzsche, conventional morality, which is founded on cultural and religious conventions, is constrictive and inhibits people from completely expressing who they really are. According to Nietzsche s will to power theory, people naturally want to use their power and influence to influence others. He also presents the notion of the superman, a mythical being free to choose their own moral standards and transcend conventional morality. Nietzsche criticises standard philosophical notions like the concept of truth and the notion of free will throughout the whole book. He contends that reality is relative and dependent on one s viewpoint, and that free will is an illusion produced by our need for control. While Beyond Good and Evil is difficult to read, it is nonetheless a significant contribution to contemporary philosophy. It inspires people to reconsider their convictions and look for a more genuine and satisfying existence outside of conventional cultural conventions.

`What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil. Always provocative, the Friedrich Nietzsche of Beyond Good and Evil (1886) is at once sceptical psychologist and philosopher-seer, passionately unmasking European society with his piercing insights and uncanny prescience. This masterpiece of his maturity considers quintessential Nietzschean topics such as the origins and nature of Judeo-Christian morality; the end of philosophical dogmatism and beginning of perspectivism; the questionable virtues of science and scholarship; liberal democracy, nationalism, and women s emancipation. Written in his most masterful style, full of irreverence and brio, Nietzsche dissects self-deluding human behaviour, bankrupt intellectual traditions, and the symptoms of social decadence, while at the same time advancing an extra-moral wisdom to be shared by those kindred soul who think beyond good and evil . This new translation of Beyond Good and Evil provides readers with a true classic of modernity that sums up those forces and counterforces in nineteenth-century Western Civilisation that to an astonishing degree have also determined and continue to inform the course of our own century.

From antiquity to the present day, this book offers a fascinating insight into the histories, movements and conflicts which have come to shape our world, viewed through the stories of the destruction of 21 statues. Confederate soldiers hacked to pieces. A British slave trader dumped in the river. An Aboriginal warrior twice beheaded. A Chinese philosopher consumed by fire. A Greek goddess left to rot in the desert… Statues stand as markers of collective memory connecting us to a shared sense of belonging. When societies fracture into warring tribes, we convince ourselves that the past is irredeemably evil. So, we tear down our statues. But what begins with the destruction of statues, ends with the killing of people. This remarkable book is a compelling history of love and hate spanning every continent, religion and era, told through the destruction of 21 statues. Peter Hughes’ original approach, blending philosophy, psychology and history, explores how these symbols of our identity give us more than an understanding of our past. In the wars that rage around them, they may also hold the key to our future. The 21 statues are Hatshepsut (Ancient Egypt), Nero (Suffolk, UK), Athena (Syria), Buddhas of Bamiyan (Afghanistan), Hecate (Constantinople), Our Lady of Caversham (near Reading, UK), Huitzilopochtli (Mexico), Confucius (China), Louis XV (France), Mendelssohn (Germany), The Confederate Monument (US), Sir John A. Macdonald (Canada), Christopher Columbus (Venezuela), Edward Colston (Bristol, UK), Cecil Rhodes (South Africa), George Washington (US), Stalin (Hungary), Yagan (Australia), Saddam Hussein (Iraq), B. R. Ambedkar (India) and Frederick Douglass (US). The book includes a black and white illustration of each statue and an illustrated map showing their geographical location.A History of Love and Hate in 21 Statues is a profound and necessary meditation on identity which resonates powerfully today as statues tumble around the world.

Basho, one of the greatest of Japanese poets and the master of haiku, was also a Buddhist monk and a life-long traveller. His poems combine karumi , or lightness of touch, with the Zen ideal of oneness with creation. Each poem evokes the natural world - the cherry blossom, the leaping frog, the summer moon or the winter snow - suggesting the smallness of human life in comparison to the vastness and drama of nature. Basho himself enjoyed solitude and a life free from possessions, and his haiku are the work of an observant eye and a meditative mind, uncluttered by materialism and alive to the beauty of the world around him.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

A boundary-pushing book on love and relationships in all its forms, showing exactly what we can all learn from the asexual community.Love Expanded is not a book about suffering, though the challenges queer people face are everywhere and real. Quietly radical, it is a guide for what non-traditional relationships can look like in all their myriad forms, and a source of advice from aromantic and asexual people on how to form them. It s about opening up opportunities for expanded love, for everyone. It s for the sake of single people struggling to own a home, for those who feel that friendship is less prominent in their lives than they would like; for people who want more social support for lives lived happily single. It s about new languages for consent for better, clearer communication; it s about different approaches to dating that focus less on seeking instant chemistry and more on building friendships. It s about a-spec joy.In Love Expanded, Wren places the focus on the power and importance of platonic love and relationships, and gives a new perspective to how we all relate to each other, offering hope and solace and joy to so many people who may not feel that they belong in our society s conventional frameworks for relationships, whether they are aroace or not.

Today, illness is almost universally regarded as either a nuisance or a grave misfortune. In contrast to this conventional thinking, Rudolf Steiner places the suffering caused by disease in a broad vista that includes an understanding of karma and personal metamorphosis. Illness comes to expression in the physical body, but mostly does not originate in it, says Steiner, and thus a key part of the physician s work involves gaining insight into the whole nature of an individual - his essential core being. From this perspective, illness offers us the opportunity for deeper healing. Throughout this volume Rudolf Steiner draws our attention to the greater scope of the smallest phenomena - even a seemingly insignificant headache. He casts vivid light on things we normally take for granted, such as the human capacity to laugh or cry, and in the process broadens our vision of human existence. The apparently mundane human experiences of forgetting and remembering are intrinsic to our humanity, for example, and have unsuspected moral and spiritual dimensions. Steiner s insights are never merely lofty or nebulously spiritual but time and again connect with the minutest realities of everyday life. In these 18 lectures, delivered on a weekly basis as part of an ongoing course covering the whole field of spiritual science , Steiner elaborates in detail on the diverse interplay of the human being s constituting aspects (physical body, etheric body, astral body and ego or I ) in relation to rhythmic processes, developing consciousness, the history of human evolution, and our connection with the cosmos. Within this broad canvas, some of his themes acquire a very distinctive focus - such as vivid accounts of the intimate history of Christianity, creating out of nothing , the interior of the earth, and health and illness. Other topics include: the nature of pain, suffering, pleasure and bliss; the four human group souls of lion, bull, eagle and man; the significance of the Ten Commandments; the nature of original sin; the deed of Christ and the adversary powers of Lucifer, Ahriman and the Asuras; evolution and involution; the Atlantean period - and even Friedrich Nietzsche s madness!

Translated by Antony M. Ludovici. With an Introduction by Ray Furness.The three works in this collection, all dating from Nietzsche s last lucid months, show him at his most stimulating and controversial: the portentous utterances of the prophet (together with the ill-defined figure of the Ãœbermensch) are forsaken, as wit, exuberance and dazzling insights predominate, forcing the reader to face unpalatable insights and to rethink every commonly accepted truth . Thinking with Nietzsche, in Jaspers words, means holding one s own against him, and we are indeed refreshed and challenged by the vortex of his thoughts, by concepts which test and probe.In The Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, and Ecce Homo Nietzsche writes at breakneck speed of his provenance, his adversaries and his hopes for mankind; the books are largely epigrammatic and aphoristic, allowing this poet-philosopher to bewilder and fascinate us with their strangeness and their daring. He who fights with monsters, Nietzsche once told us, should look to it that he himself does not become one, and when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Reader, beware.

`Reason, seriousness, mastery over the emotions, the whole murky affair which goes by the name of thought, all the privileges and showpieces of man: what a high price has been paid for them! How much blood and horror is at the bottom of all good things! On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) is a book about the history of ethics and about interpretation. Nietzsche rewrites the former as a history of cruelty, exposing the central values of the Judaeo-Christian and liberal traditions - compassion, equality, justice - as the product of a brutal process of conditioning designed to domesticate the animal vitality of earlier cultures. The result is a book which raises profoundly disquieting issues about the violence of both ethics and interpretation. Nietzsche questions moral certainties by showing that religion and science have no claim to absolute truth, before turning on his own arguments in order to call their very presuppositions into question. The Genealogy is the most sustained of Nietzsche s later works and offers one of the fullest expressions of his characteristic concerns. This edition places his ideas within the cultural context of his own time and stresses the relevance of his work for a contemporary audience.

Audiokniha: „Člověk je něco, co má být překročeno.“ Tak pravil Zarathustra s podtitulem „Kniha pro všechny a pro nikoho“ je nejslavnějším dílem geniálního německého filosofa a básníka Friedricha Nietzscheho (1844–1900). Sám autor jej neskromně považoval za myšlenkově nejhlubší dílo, které bylo kdy napsáno. Nemusíme s tímto hodnocením souhlasit, ale sotva se ubráníme dojmu, že máme před sebou cosi neobyčejného. Základní teze své filozofie zde autor podává vybroušenou formou filosofické básně. Úvahy o smrti Boha, vůli k moci a „nadčlověku“, jež Nietzsche vkládá do úst dávnému perskému prorokovi Zarathustrovi, budily v jeho době zděšení a pohoršení, a znepokojivě působí i na dnešního čtenáře. Výbor ze „Zarathustry“ v kongeniálním překladu Otokara Fischera vychází nyní jako audiokniha v podání Jaromíra Meduny. Překlad: Otokar Fischer Výbor: Petr Babka Režie: Lukáš Hlavica Hudba: Matěj Kroupa Produkce: Pavla Nohýnková Záznam zvuku, střih, mixáž a mastering: Dominik Budil Natočeno ve zvukovém studiu DAMU v Praze Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) byl německý filosof, klasický filolog, básník a skladatel (i když jeho poezie a hudební kompozice byly zastíněny jeho pozdějšími filosofickými spisy). Sepsal řadu filosofických děl, která měla velký vliv na myšlení 20. století. Jeho hlavním tématem byla ostrá kritika evropského myšlení, zejména platónské tradice a křesťanské morálky, jimž Nietzsche vytýkal, že se staví proti síle tvořivého života a nakonec vedou k nihilismu. Jeho často aforisticky pojednávaná témata „smrti Boha“, „vůle k moci“ a „nadčlověka“ jsou dodnes předmětem diskusí a polemik. Jeho nejznámějším spisem je Tak pravil Zarathustra. Jaromír Meduna (1953) je český filmový, divadelní a dabingový herec. Strávil tři sezony v ostravském Divadle Petra Bezruče a po dvouleté zastávce v Příbrami následovalo období v Divadle F. X. Šaldy v Liberci: Od roku 1986 působil v Městských divadlech pražských. Od roku 2008 je členem hereckého souboru Divadle na Vinohradech. Ve filmu se objevil ve filmu Den pro mou lásku a ve snímku Člověk proti zkáze. Dosavadní největší příležitost na plátně dostal ve filmu Bizon z roku 1989. V televizi se objevil ve filmech Posel dobrých zpráv nebo Proč pláčeš břízo bílá.

It was here that he first proclaimed the death of God—to which a large part of the book is devoted—and his doctrine of the eternal recurrence.Walter Kaufmann s commentary, with its many quotations from previously untranslated letters, brings to life Nietzsche as a human being and illuminates his philosophy. The book contains some of Nietzsche s most sustained discussions of art and morality, knowledge and truth, the intellectual conscience and the origin of logic.Most of the book was written just before Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the last part five years later, after Beyond Good and Evil. We encounter Zarathustra in these pages as well as many of Nietzsche s most interesting philosophical ideas and the largest collection of his own poetry that he himself ever published.Walter Kaufmann s English versions of Nietzsche represent one of the major translation enterprises of our time. He is the first philosopher to have translated Nietzsche s major works, and never before has a single translator given us so much of Nietzsche.

Among the most influential philosophers of modern times, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) declared in this classic study that Greek tragedy achieved greatness through a fusion of elements of Apollonian restraint and control with Dionysian components of passion and the irrational. In Nietzsche s eyes, however, Greek tragedy had been destroyed by the rationalism and optimism of thinkers like Socrates. Nevertheless, he found in these ancient works the life-affirming concept that existence is still beautiful, however grim and depressing it may sometimes be. These and many other ideas are argued with passionate conviction in this challenging book, called by British classicist F. M. Cornford a work of profound imaginative insight, which left the scholarship of a generation toiling in the rear.

Tento Nietzschův spis je souborem úvah, postřehů a aforismů, promyšleně seskupených do pěti knih, které jsou komponovány kolem tematických těžišť. Kniha Ranní červánky vznikala roku 1880 na cestách mezi Benátkami, Mariánskými Lázněmi, Naumburkem, Stresou a Janovem. Ještě na jaře 1880 nesl soubor 262 aforismů titul L Ombra di Venezia (Stín Benátek). Do konce roku 1880 k němu přibylo několik dalších poznámkových sešitů; čistopis pořízený Nietzschovým žákem Peterem Gastem byl nazván Die Pflugschar (Rádlo). Na první stranu své kopie vepsal Peter Gast slova: ,,Je tolik červánků, které ještě nezaplály. Rgvéda. Citát se Nietzschovi zalíbil natolik, že titul knihy změnil na Ranní červánky. Myšlenky o morálních předsudcích (Morgenröthe. Gedanken über die moralischen Vorurtheile). Kniha vyšla koncem června 1881 u Ernsta Schmeitznera v Chemnitzu. Roku 1887 opatřil Nietzsche neprodané zásoby předmluvou a nakladatel E. W. Fritzsch v Lipsku je uvedl na trh jako druhé vydání. Spis, který se v chronologii Nietzschova díla nalézá mezi Lidským, příliš lidským (1878-1880) a Radostnou vědou (1882), je souborem úvah, postřehů a aforismů, promyšleně seskupených do pěti knih, které nemají vlastní názvy, jsou však komponovány kolem tematických těžišť. Nietzsche v nich kriticky a s neobyčejnou psychologickou pronikavostí analyzuje základní mravní představy evropské kultury, morální kořeny křesťanství, altruistické etiky atd. Myšlenky o morálních předsudcích tak spolutvoří počáteční fázi podniku, který Nietzsche později nazval ,,přehodnocení všech hodnot .

The profoundest book there is, born from the innermost richness of truth, an inexhaustible well into which no bucket descends without coming up with gold and goodness. Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1885) was Nietzsche s own favourite among all his books and has proved to be his most popular, having sold millions of copies in many different languages. In it he addresses the problem of how to live a fulfilling life in a world without meaning, in the aftermath of the death of God . Nietzsche s solution lies in the idea of eternal recurrence which he calls the highest formula of affirmation that can ever be attained . A successful engagementwith this profoundly Dionysian idea enables us to choose clearly among the myriad possibilities that existence offers, and thereby to affirm every moment of our lives with others on this sacred earth. This translation of Zarathustra (the first new English version for over forty years) conveys the musicality of the original German, and for the first time annotates the abundance of allusions to the Bible and other classic texts with which Nietzsche s masterpiece is in conversation. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Lidský život, píše Nietzsche, inspirován Schopenhauerovou metafyzikou pravůle, je bytostně ohrožen, plný bolesti, úzkosti a beznaděje. Tím, co má člověku pomoci snášet jeho osud, je umění. Ve starověkém Řecku pak Nietzsche nachází pojmenování dvou základních principů v umění působících: princip apollinský, jehož úkolem je tragickou skutečnost lživě zkrášlovat a harmonizovat, a princip dionýský, původnější a hlubší, výraz nespoutanosti a opojení, v němž se mísí hrůza, bolest i titánský vzdor.

Translated by Thomas Common. With an Introduction by Nicholas Davey. This astonishing series of aphorisms, put into the mouth of the Persian sage Zarathustra, or Zoroaster, contains the kernel of Nietzsche s thought. God is dead , he tells us. Christianity is decadent, leading mankind into a slave morality concerned not with this life, but with the next. Nietzsche emphasises the UEbermensch, or Superman, whose will to power makes him the creator of a new heroic mentality.The intensely felt ideas are expressed in prose-poetry of indefinable beauty. Though misused by the German National Socialist party as a spurious justification of their creed, the book also had a profound influence on early twentieth-century writers such as Shaw, Mann, Gide, Lawrence and Sartre.

`Anyone who wants to gain a quick idea of how before me everything was topsy-turvy should make a start with this work. That which is called idol on the title-page is quite simply that which was called truth hitherto. Twilight of the Idols - in plain words: the old truth is coming to an end... Nietzsche intended Twilight of the Idols to serve as a short introduction to his philosophy, and as a result it is the most synoptic of all his books. Continuing in the spirit of its immediate predecessors On The Genealogy of Morals and The Wagner Case, it is a masterpiece of polemic, targeting not only `eternal idols like Socratic rationality and Christian morality but also their contemporary counterparts, as Nietzsche the `untimely man goes roaming in the gloaming of nineteenth-century European culture. He allies philosophy with psychology and physiology, relentlessly diagnozing the symptoms of decadence, and his stylistic virtuosity is such that the sheer delight he takes in his demonic mischief-making communicates itself on every page. A brilliant new translation, this edition provides detailed commentary on a highly condensed and allusive work.

I am not a man, I am dynamiteWeeks before his final mental breakdown, Nietzsche set out to compose his autobiography, and Ecce Homo is the result. A summary of his life’s work as a philosopher, with chapter headings including ‘Why I Am So Wise’ and ‘Why I Write Such Good Books’, it is part mocking self-judgement and part battle cry, and remains one of the most singular, strange examples of the genre ever written.

Název My filologové odkazuje k materiálu pro stejnojmennou nečasovou úvahu , v níž chtěl Nietzsche revidovat humanistický pohled na antiku a zpochybnit dosud bezvýhradně přijímanou roli filologů jakožto vychovatelů, protože podle něho ukazují jen falešně idealizovaný obraz klasičnosti. Zároveň tento titul zastřešuje Nietzschovy drobnější filologicko-filosofické práce (Homér a klasická filologie, Pět předmluv k pěti nenapsaným knihám), v nichž se antika pro Nietzscheho stává živnou půdou k úvahám o moderní společnosti a kultuře a které dokreslují jeho ranou filosofii, formulovanou v té době ve Zrození tragédie z ducha hudby a v Nečasových úvahách. Druhé, opravené a doplněné vydání přináší v příloze rovněž překlad čtyř dopisů, které se váží k vydání Nietzschovy knihy Zrození tragédie a přinášejí také ohlédnutí za jeho filologickou kariérou.

The first book by the author of the classic philosophical text Beyond Good and Evil. Â The youthful faults of this work were exposed by the author himself in the brilliant Attempt at a Self-Criticism, which he added to the new edition of 1886. But the book, whatever its excesses, remains one of the most relevant statements on tragedy ever penned. It exploded the conception of Greek culture that was prevalent down through the Victorian era, and it analyzed themes developed in the twentieth century by classicists, existentialists, psychoanalysts, and others.

Audiokniha: Strhující drama o lásce, nenávisti a vůli. Jeden z bestselerových románů prominentního amerického psychoterapeuta nás přivádí do Vídně 19. století, do kolébky psychoanalýzy. Hlavními protagonisty fiktivního příběhu jsou filozof Friedrich Nietzsche a psycholog, jeden z předchůdců psychoanalýzy, psycholog Josef Breuer. Nietzsche přichází kvůli svým sebevražedným tendencím k Breuerovi, aby se u něho léčil. Na pozadí jejich vztahu, tedy vztahu mezi jedním z největších evropských filozofů a nadaným terapeutem, dochází k setkání světů filozofie a psychologie. V příběhu se objeví také mladý, začínající lékař Sigmund Freud… Když Nietzsche plakal je příběhem o romantické posedlosti, o zachraňující moci přátelství, o úkolu odborníka pohlédnout do tváře vlastnímu démonu, a tak nalézt schopnost pomoci svému klientovi. Kniha je mistrovskou směsicí fakt a fikce. Ve skutečnosti se Friedrich Nietzsche a Josef Breuer nikdy nesetkali. A psychoterapie samozřejmě nevznikla jako výsledek jejich setkání. Nicméně životní situace hlavních postav je založena na reálných faktech a základní prvky románu – Breuerovo duševní trápení, Nietzscheho zoufalství, Anna O., Lou Salomé, Freudovo přátelství s Breuerem, tepající zárodek psychoanalýzy – měly své historické místo ve Vídni roku 1882. Kniha Když Nietzsche plakal získala cenu Commonwealth Gold Medal za nejlepší román roku 1993, v roce 2009 byla vyznamenána vídeňským knižním veletrhem a sto tisíc výtisků bylo zdarma distribuováno obyvatelům Vídně. Kniha byla přeložena do téměř dvaceti jazyků a znají ji čtenáři po celém světě. Přes čtyři roky byla např. nejprodávanější knihou v Izraeli a na žebříčku bestsellerů se ocitla ve dvanácti zemích.

The Book of Love, Longing, Intimacy and Contentment is the thirty-sixth chapter of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali s Revival of the Religious Sciences. This was the first treatise which established not merely the possibility but the necessity for the love of God. Ghazali argues that all the virtues and spiritual stages that precede love, like repentance, patience and thankfulness, lead to love; and all the spiritual stages that follow on from love are a result of it. Out of Ghazali s pioneering treatment would emerge not only new trends in Sufi theory and practice, but an entire body of mystical poetry including that of the great Persian poets Rumi and Hafiz. The translation is preceded by an extensive introduction which sets the work in its historical and spiritual context.

Man defines himself by his deeds - and what kind of image of man do we see in the mirror of our present times? The poet and dramatist Friedrich Schiller was also a profound philosopher, who described his work On the Aesthetic Education of Man as the best thing that I have done in my life . This impassioned treatise analyses politics, revolution and human nature to define the relationship between beauty, art and morality. Expressed as a series of letters to a patron, it argues that only an aesthetic education - rather than government reform, religion or moral teachings - can achieve a truly free society, and must be placed at the heart of human experience. One of the most important works of German philosophy, its arguments remain as arresting and inspiring as when they were first written. Translated by Keith Tribe with an introduction and notes by Alexander Schmidt

In this provocative and now-classic work, Friedrich Engels explores the interrelated development of the family and the state from ancient society to the Victorian era. Drawing on new anthropological theories of his time, Engels argued that matriarchal communal societies had been overthrown by class society and its emphasis on private, not communal, property and monogamous, rather than polygamous, sexual organization. This historical development, Engels argued, constituted the world-historic defeat of the female sex. A masterclass in the application of materialist thought to history and anthropology, and touching on love, monogamy, property, and the development of the human, this landmark work is still foundational in Marxist and socialist feminist theory.

The philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was almost wholly neglected during his sane life, which came to an abrupt end in 1889. Since then he has been appropriated as an icon by an astonishingly diverse spectrum of people, whose interpretations of his thought range from the highly irrational to the firmly analytical. Thus Spoke Zarathustra introduced the superman and The Twilight of the Idols developed the Will to Power concept; these term, together with Sklavenmoral and Herrenmoral , became confused with the rise of nationalism in Germany. Idiosyncratic and aphoristic, Nietzsche is always bracing and provocative, and temptingly easy to dip into. Michael Tanner s readable introduction to the philosopher s life and work examines the numerous ambiguities inherent in his writings. It also explodes the many misconceptions fostered in the hundred years since Nietzsche wrote, prophetically: Do not, above all, confound me with what I am not!
