  • Rousseauby Robert Wokler

    Oxford University Press 2001; US$ 8.95

  • Beyond Good and Evilby Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche; Helen Zimmern

    The Floating Press 1886; US$ 5.99

    Beyong Good and Evil expands on the ideas Nietzsche first published in Thus Spake Zarathustra . Darker in its philosophy, this text questions Christianity as a basis for moral thinking. In its place, Nietzsche calls for the use of bold critical thinking and individualism. more...

  • The Gay Scienceby Walter Kaufmann; Friedrich Nietzsche

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2010; US$ 9.99

    Nietzsche called The Gay Science "the most personal of all my books." 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... more...

  • The Anti-Christby Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche; H. L. Mencken

    The Floating Press 1918; US$ 5.99

    Tangle with one of the most astoundingly vexing minds that the Western philosophical canon has ever produced. In The Anti-Christ, Nietzsche first defined his concept of the will to power, the animating force that he sees as the motivation behind most human behavior. Whether you are a non-believer or a committed Christian, Nietzsche's detailed critique of the Christian ethos is a masterwork of rigorous discourse. more...

  • Utilitarianismby John Stuart Mill

    Electric Book Company 1998; US$ 4.95

    In spite of the numerous ethical discussions in his other writings, Mill's sole contribution to the fundamental problem of the ethical theory was his small volume Utilitarianism . It first appeared in Fraser's Magazine in 1861 and was reprinted in book form in 1863. It remains one of the most important, controversial, and suggestive works of moral philosophy. In it he puts forward the view that everything we desire becomes a part of happiness. Happiness, then, is a complex phenomenon composed of many parts, including virtue, love of money, power, and fame. more...
