Why do Hindus feed their dead ancestors? And why do they prefer burning the dead to building tombs? Does Hinduism have no concept of Judgement Day? What is the impact of death on its notions of womanhood and caste? Is the Vedic approach to death different from the Tantric one? The idea of death and rebirth is embedded in the Hindu mind through ritual and story. Death is not just tragic, but ambiguous too. For instance, it is the end of one journey, but it is also the beginning of another.

Stop pretending you’re in charge, and discover what happens when you finally ...

The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and translated into English by Samuel Moore in 1888 under Engels’ supervision, is one of the most influential political texts in modern history. Originally published in 1848, this concise manifesto lays out the principles of communism, the theory of historical materialism, and the role of class struggle as the driving force of history. Marx and Engels call for the working class to unite against capitalist oppression and envision a future society free from class divisions.

About the only reason Winslow “Hanger” Strickland enrolled in and occasionally attended classes at Ridgeview College was so he could play on his intramural football team of which he was the quarterback. Then, the Ridgeview Campus newspaper, in a special edition, announced that Stephan Kahn Kohelth, one of the wealthiest, most respected, and powerful men in the nation had accepted the Wordsworth Lectureship invitation for the fall semester. This great event was not to be missed and Hanger was certainly not going to. There was only one problem for him. In order to attend the lectures ...

Mit ebenso großer Klarheit und Eleganz wie im 1. Band seines Hauptwerks setzt Arthur Schopenhauer auch im 2. Band von "Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung" seine pessimistisch-voluntaristische Metaphysik des Lebens fort, wobei er, direkt Bezug nehmend auf Paragrafen des 1. Bandes, zentrale Gedanken seiner Philosophie weiter vertieft und um mehr als nur perspektivische Facetten bereichert. So finden sich in den hier vorliegenden "Ergänzungen zum dritten Buch des 1. Bandes" vertiefende Darstellungen zur Erkenntnis der Idee wie auch Bemerkungen zum inneren Wesen der Kunst.

Mark Twain bu eserinde keskin zekâsını ve ironik üslubunu bir araya getirerek, insan doğasının sır perdesini aralıyor. Sıradan bir sohbet gibi başlayan metin, zamanla bir düşünce laboratuvarına dönüşüyor. Yargılar sorgulanıyor, alışılmış değerler altüst ediliyor ve okuyucuya kaçamayacağı bir yüzleşme imkânı sunuluyor: “Özgür irade gerçekten var mı? İnsanın özü bencil midir? Ahlak doğuştan mı gelir, yoksa bir koşullanmanın ürünü müdür?”

El somni és una obra complexa i singular, capaç de mirar-se de prop i amb un gran sentit de l'humor els aspectes més prosaics de la vida quotidiana però també d'elevar-se fins a les idees filosòfiques més transcendents. Metge, tancat a la presó per acusacions de malversació i corrupció, comença a somiar i se li presenten el personatge del rei mort recentment, Joan I, i dels personatges mitològics Orfeu i Tirèsies, amb els quals obre un diàleg en què discuteixen des de la immortalitat de l'ànima, d'algunes aficions excessives o dels defectes i virtuts d'homes i dones.

Daniel Gamper sostiene que los tiempos están maduros para nuevos aguafiestas que pongan palos en las ruedas de la risa. La risa es lenguaje y, como las palabras, puede ser cortés, falsa, amigable, mordaz, insultante y discriminadora. Tras leer este libro no volverás a reír sin antes detenerte a pensar dónde, cómo, cuándo, con quién y por qué lo haces.
