There are people who, for thousands of years, have been setting new standards, defining our direction, breaking boundaries that were once thought to be unbreakable. They create new opportunities based upon a unique vision that, at the time, no one was able to see or replicate. They cross uncharted frontiers that were previously thought uncrossable. They continue to define our very way of life, introducing new concepts that interrupt and improve the normal flow of life forever. They are bold, uninhibited, unapologetic, and they continue to create the impossible.

Though born to a poor but pious family of ribbon weavers in Saxony in 1762, Johann Gottlieb's exceptional intelligence was apparent from an early age. Remarkably, from this humble background, he earned himself a respected place in the pantheon of late 18th and early 19th century German philosophers. In the 20th and 21st century, his importance and contribution to Western philosophy has been increasingly acknowledged. There are two substantial lecture series and one essay stemming from his time in Berlin in Popular Works Volume 2: much of Fichte's important work appeared initially in lectures.

Transcendentalism remains the most important literary and philosophical movement to have originated in the United States. Most accounts of it trace its emergence to a group of intellectuals dissatisfied with their religious, literary, and social culture. Yet there is a forgotten history of transcendentalism that features women who were central to the development of the movement. Bright Circle is intended to reorient our understanding of transcendentalism. It recounts the lives of Mary Moody Emerson, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, Lydia Jackson Emerson, and Margaret Fuller.

"Que otros se jacten de las páginas que han escrito; a mí me enorgullecen las que he leído", decía Borges. Y es que los buenos libros nos transforman; un pasaje, por breve que sea, puede despertar la curiosidad del lector y animarlo a leer una obra que cambie su vida para siempre. He ahí el poder de la literatura, que no sólo nos abre horizontes, sino que deposita en nosotros, de manera lenta pero constante, la clave para entender la vida.

It seems so much is going wrong in America. Some say it’s because our leaders are incompetent. Others think it’s merely a coincidence. But to millions of concerned Americans, those simplistic explanations no longer ring true.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and his ideology was disseminated through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay "Nature".

Secularism is increasingly a fact of life in Western society. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that faith is harder than it has been before. Even in the past when organized religion enjoyed more widespread cultural acceptance, there were still obstacles to true belief. Today, the obstacles are different, but faith is still viable.

God and the Self in Hegel proposes a reconstruction of Hegel’s conception of God and analyzes the significance of this reading for Hegel’s idealistic metaphysics. Paolo Diego Bubbio argues that in Hegel’s view, subjectivism—the tenet that there is no underlying “true” reality that exists independently of the activity of the cognitive agent—can be avoided, and content can be restored to religion, only to the extent that God is understood in God’s relation to human beings, and human beings are understood in their relation to God.

Le premier défi de la démocratie est de donner le «goût de l’avenir» (Alexis de Tocqueville), de générer l’enthousiasme qui poussera les jeunes d’esprit à progresser d’eux-mêmes vers de nouvelles quêtes de sens et de savoir, à renouveler peut-être surtout, dans le contexte des nouvelles connaissances et d’une prise de conscience accrue des richesses des différentes cultures, les questions que l’on appelle «ultimes et les plus hautes», pour citer Husserl, celles que la science exclut par principe et qui sont pourtant «les questions les plus brûlantes».

History from many perspectives.

Emerson describes the fluidity of thinking and life; how we need to be open to new ideas and not be wed to old ones; how to open ourselves up to these ideas by expanding our circles of knowledge and ideas.
