Γοργίας
There is a well-known saying that the whole of Western Philosophy is footnotes of Plato. This is because his writings have set the schema that philosophy can be said to have followed ever since. Following under the teachings of Socrates, Plato's works are among the world's greatest literature. In the Gorgias, as in nearly all the other dialogues of Plato, we are made aware that formal logic has…

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.

Kritik der praktischen Vernunft
"Kant's Critique of Practical Reason is an acknowledged masterpiece of Western philosophy. The way H. W. Cassirer's translation uncoils Kant's attempt at reconciling determinism with moral freedom will enable serious students of philosophy - and theology - to engage anew not only with this theme but also with Kant's whole treatment of God, freedom, and immortality."--BOOK JACKET.

Kritik der Urteilskraft
In THE CRITIQUE OF JUDGMENT (1790), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) seeks to establish the a priori principles underlying the faculty of judgement, just as he did in his previous critiques of pure and practical reason. The first part deals with the subject of our aesthetic sensibility; we respond to certain natural phenomena as beautiful, says Kant, when we recognise in nature a harmonious order that…
