“It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.” With this chilling declaration, Niccolò Machiavelli opens the gates to one of the most infamous and fascinating political texts ever written. The Prince is not merely a book—it is a descent into the dark heart of power, ambition, and the forces that shape nations and leaders. Written in 1513, amidst the treacherous landscape of Renaissance Italy—a fractured land torn by war, corruption, and foreign domination—this brief but intense treatise offers a master class in political strategy.

What makes a man willing to die for his beliefs? What drives a thinker to challenge the gods, the laws, and even society itself? Four Texts on Socrates invites you into the world of one of history’s most influential and controversial figures. This collection, combining three dialogues by Plato—Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito—and Aristophanes’ play The Clouds, reveals Socrates as a seeker of truth, a defender of reason, and a public figure whose ideas both inspired and unsettled Athens.

It is common to refer to philosophy as "a series of footnotes to Plato." But in the original quote, Alfred North Whitehead was more careful: he limited his characterization to "the European philosophical tradition." There are other traditions, both ancient and ongoing: Chinese philosophy, Indian philosophy, Africana philosophy, and various indigenous philosophies. For the most part, these do not get nearly as much attention in European and American schools as the European tradition does. Bryan Van Norden argues for expanding philosophy's geographical scope, to the benefit of philosophy in ...

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the two words the preacher is called to give: the binding word, and the loosing word. Though it is not always the time to bind up the sins of the dead, the main word of the gospel is that of resurrection. The righteousness of the dead is the forgiveness of sins into the life of Christ's kingdom which does not operate according to the law.

The Communist Manifesto (German: Kommunistisches Manifest), originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party, is a political pamphlet written by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London in 1848, the Manifesto remains one of the world's most influential political documents.[citation needed] It presents an analytical approach to class struggle and criticizes capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, without attempting to predict communism's potential future forms.

No word in our language is more misunderstood than the word “heart.’ And almost no word is more important, for it refers to what is at the very center of our soul. We have mapped the outer world, in fact the whole universe, with amazing exactness . . . but we have neglected the world within. This new book by venerable Catholic thinker Peter Kreeft offers a map of that inner world, of the self. In it, he takes up the mantle of Dietrich von Hildebrand and plumbs the depths of that most misunderstood (by the world) and overlooked (by philosophers and theologians) part of the human being.
