Платон первым составил ее классификацию, определив виды.

"Uno debe ser superior a la humanidad en fuerza, en altivez de alma y desprecio" En esta obra devastadora, Nietzsche ofrece un sostenido ataque, a menudo morda, contra la moralidad y las creencias de su tiempo, arremetiendo contra filósofos como Hegel, Kant y Schopenhaur.

What do a school shooter, a corporate swindler, and a bullheaded ideologue have in common? They all converge on what author Kirk Schneider terms "the polarized mind".

Rand não é apenas importante para que tenhamos uma nova visão de mundo e de indivíduo. Em terras brasileiras, a sua vida e o seu pensamento são verdadeiramente fundamentais.

What does "say it straight or you'll show it crooked" mean? In essence, it means that if I have a strong feeling or a desire, and I don't do something effective about it, I will end up, internally or externally, somehow demonstrating that feeling or desire in an ineffective manner.
