The down-and-out from time to time…

The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
One of the most influential works of this century, this is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide: the question of living or not living in an absurd universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Camus posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal…

Le mythe de Sisyphe
«Il n'y a qu'un problème philosophique vraiment sérieux: c'est le suicide.» Avec cette formule foudroyante, qui semble rayer d'un trait toute la philosophie, un jeune homme de moins de trente ans commence son analyse de la sensibilité absurde. Il décrit le «mal de l'esprit» dont souffre l'époque actuelle: «L'absurde naît de la confrontation de l'appel humain avec le silence déraisonnable du…

Gli eroici furori
The second part of The Heroic Enthusiasts which I am now sending to the press is on the same subject as the first, namely the struggles of the soul in its upward progress towards purification and freedom, and the author makes use of lower things to picture and suggest the higher. It is interesting to note that in the first part of The Heroic Enthusiasts (page 122), Bruno makes a distinct allusion…

The first treatise argues that human beings possess a natural internal sense of beauty, whereas the second focuses on the "moral sense" that enables us to…

Principia ethica
In questo libro, considerato atto di nascita dell'etica analitica, Moore intende confutare sia il "naturalismo" di Herbert Spencer e John Stuart Mill sia l'etica "metafisica" di Francis Bradley e John McTaggart denunciando la fallacia naturalistica o metafisica consistente nell'identificare "buono" con proprietà quali "risultato dell'evoluzione", "produttivo di felicità", "conforme all'essenza…

Jenseits von Gut und Böse
Since the French Revolution the influence of woman in Europe has DECLINED in proportion as she has increased her rights and claims; and the "emancipation of woman," insofar as it is desired and demanded by women themselves (and not only by masculine shallow-pates), thus proves to be a remarkable symptom of the increased weakening and deadening of the most womanly instincts.

"Crois-tu qu'une ville serait bien gouvernée, si la loi ordonnait à chacun de tisser et de laver son vêtement, de tisser ses chaussures, sa burette à huile, son étrille et le tout le reste de même, sans mettre la main aux affaires d'autrui..." L'évocation de la priorité donnée aux affaires privées n'a rien d'étonnant dans le Charmide pour qui connaît l'entêtement de Platon à souligner l'état…
