Short studies on great subjects James Anthony Froude · 1867 · 398p · ≈ 13h · Challenging There was a time—a time which, measured by the years of our national life, was not so very long ago—when the serious thoughts of mankind were occupied exclusively by religion and politics. The small knowledge which they possessed of other things was tinctured by their speculative opinions on the relations of heaven and earth; and, down to the sixteenth century, art, science, scarcely even… Shares: Christianity, Civilization, Essays, Philosophy

Kant; a collection of critical essays Robert Paul Wolff · 1967 · ★ 3.5 · 415p · ≈ 13h · Moderate This book analyses and explains the central passage of Kant's philosophy, the "Transcendental Analytic" of the Critique of Pure Reason.

Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion George Bernard Shaw · 1900 · 58p · ≈ 1h · Challenging The French Revolution overthrew one set of rulers and substituted another with different interests and different views. That is what a general election enables the people to do in England every seven years if they choose. Revolution is therefore a national institution in England; and its advocacy by an Englishman needs no apology. Every man is a revolutionist concerning the thing he understands.… Shares: Essays

Escape, and other essays Arthur Christopher Benson · 1915 · ★ 5.0 · 302p · ≈ 10h · Challenging This book is romantic story, I walked to-day down by the river side. The Cam is a stream much slighted by the lover of wild and romantic scenery; and its chief merit, in the eyes of our boys, is that it approaches more nearly to a canal in its straightness and the deliberation of its slow lapse than many more famous floods--and is therefore more adapted for the maneuvres of eight-oared boats! But… Shares: Essays

The thread of gold Arthur Christopher Benson · 1905 · 271p · ≈ 9h · Challenging This is biographical book.

I think now that I tried to do too many… Shares: Essays

Chesterton’s response to his critics’ assertion that his earlier collection of essays, Heretics, had “merely criticised current philosophies without offering any alternative philosophy.” In his intellectual journey from pagan to agnostic to positivist philosopher, he had attempted to build a philosophy “some ten minutes in advance of the truth.” But when he compared his modern… Shares: Christianity, Essays, Religion
