  • von Alexander Hamilton
    49,00 €

    First published in 1788, 'The Federalist Papers' is a collection of 85 articles and essays by Alexander Hamilton, an American revolutionary, statesman, and Founding Father of the United States. Appeared as a series of letters to New York newspapers encouraging voters to approve the proposed Constitution of the United States. Still hotly discussed and open to often contentious understandings, the arguments first presented here by three of America's greatest patriots and political theorists were created during a critical moment in our nation's history, providing readers with a running ideological commentary on the crucial issues facing democracy. The Papers offer a detailed outline of the separation of powers and how political power has to be used within extreme limitations in order to prevent the people from having to give up their freedom and rights as citizens. Today, the Federalist Papers are as important and vital a rallying cry for freedom as ever.

  • von Sigmund Freud
    46,00 €

    First published in 1899, 'The Interpretation of Dreams' written by Sigmund Freud, presents the theory of the unconscious with respect to dream interpretation and discusses what would later become the theory of the Oedipus complex. Sigmund Freud is an Austrian neurologist and the founding father of psychoanalysis, a method for treating mental illness and also a theory that explains human behavior. Freud believed that events in our childhood hold a great impact on our adult lives, shaping our personality. In creating psychoanalysis, Freud designed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud saw that man is at war with himself and often unable to tolerate too much reality. He propounded the theory that dreams are the contraband representations of the beast within man, smuggled into awareness during sleep. In Freudian interpretation, the analysis of dreams is the key to unlocking the secrets of the unconscious mind.

  • von Niccolo Machiavelli
    29,00 €

    'The Prince' is a 16th-century political treatise written by Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian who lived during the Renaissance. It is the most well-known book on politics ever written and remains as vibrant and astonishing today as when it was written. The treatise is not representative of the work published during his lifetime, but it is the most recognized, and the work responsible for bringing 'Machiavellian' into wide usage as a pejorative term. It has also been suggested by some critics that the piece is, in fact, a satire. Originally denounced as a collection of sinister maxims and a recommendation of tyranny, it has more recently been supported as the first scientific treatment of politics as it is practiced rather than as it ought to be practiced. Widely cited in the press and in academic publications, it has direct applicability to the issues of business and corporate governance encountering global corporations as they enter a new millennium.

  • von Friedrich Nietzsche
    20,00 €

    First published in 1895, 'The Antichrist' it is an absolute onslaught on Christianity instead of an explanation on evil or Satan by Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher, cultural critic and philologist whose work has exerted a profound influence on contemporary philosophical history. Nietzsche delivers a highly controversial view of Christianity as a harmful impact upon western civilization that must come to an end. Regardless of one's religious or philosophical point of view, it makes for an engaging philosophical discourse.In this book, Nietzsche is very critical of standardized religion and its priest class, from which he himself was dropped. The bulk of the book is a systematic, logical and detailed attack upon the interpretations of Christ's words by St. Paul and those who followed him. The reference to the Antichrist is not intended to refer to the biblical Antichrist but is rather an attack on the ""slave morality"" and apathy of Western Christianity.
