¿Qué haría Nietzsche ....?

Vajon Arthur Schopenhauer képes meggyógyítani az összetört szívet? Meggyőzhet bennünket Arisztotelész arról, hogy a kortárs művészet klassz dolog? John Stuart Mill szerint tényleg jobb Shakespeare, mint „A Simpson család”? Különböző korok legnagyobb elméitől – például Platóntól, de Beauvoirtól, Marxtól és másoktól – kaphatunk tanácsokat és gyorstalpaló filozófiaképzést ebben a filozófusokat és elméleteiket bemutató útikalauzban. Az egyedi és humoros könyvből azt is megtudhatjuk, miért vagyunk azok, akik vagyunk, és mi áll cselekedeteink hátterében. Eredeti és gondolatébresztő válaszok mindennapi életünk kérdéseire.

Mit tenne Nietzsche? – Megoldások hétköznapi problémáinkra a legnagyobb filozófusoktól

Ever wondered if Schopenhauer could fix your broken heart? How Heraclitus might help you if you lost your phone? Given the chance, would Foucault leave the toilet seat up? With sections on Relationships, Self and Identity, How to Live, Art and Aesthetics, and Politics, there is an answer to each of modern life's questions here. Each section is comprised of a collection of questions, from 'Is Shakespeare better than the Simpsons?' to 'Should I get a takeaway tonight?'; from little niggling questions, to the great mysteries of human existence. With Marcus Weeks's illuminating commentary on each philosopher's answer to the question at hand, you'll be spouting Socrates and discussing Descartes before you know it. A guide to life, of sorts, and also a fantastic introduction to philosophy for anyone looking to broaden their knowledge of the subject.

200 Key Concepts Explained in an Instant

Nicholas D. Satan

In "The Devil's Diaries," Monty Python meets Bridget Jones with a little more fire and a lot more brimstone. In his own words, Satan muses on key dates throughout history--reveling in his role as the mastermind behind the Fall, rock 'n' roll, Y2K, and, of course, global warming. The Dark One grumbles at the way some of his best work has been hijacked and credited elsewhere, and confesses his frustration that many of his efforts go unappreciated. Even Satan falls in love, goes on vacation, suffers from depression, and deserves a little sympathy from time to time. The book is funny as . . . well, you know. In five sections reflecting the main epochs of his reign--with such titles as "Pride Comes Before the Fall" and "The Good Old Days (The Dark Ages)"--the Devil's revelations cover everything from the Fall to--er--Revelations. Through more than 150 pages of dazzling (and, of course, diabolical) words and illustrations, we can take devilish delight in these topics and many, many more:
