In Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, the narrator offers a memorably brief account of his mother’s death: 'picnic, lightning'. Picnic Comma Lightning similarly opens with the death of Laurence Scott's parents, and the definitive ending of their death raises for him one fundamental question: how much of what we live through is truly real? With humour and insight, Scott transforms this personal meditation on loss into an exploration of what it means to exist in the world now.

In this volume, Dr. Rushdoony clearly enunciates each major philosopher's position and its implications, identifies the intellectual and moral consequences of each school of thought, and traces the dead-end to which each naturally leads. There is only one foundation. Without Christ, meaning and morality are anchored to shifting sand, and a counsel of despair prevails. This penetrating yet brief volume provides clear guidance, even for laymen unfamiliar with philosophy.

Medicine for the Heart is a guide to the extraordinary richness of Scripture seen through Kierkegaard's eyes. He wrote about Scripture as none other, a literature of surpassing artistry and rare moral power. Kierkegaard described a new believer who discovered that life was beautiful, that it was a new gloriousness of faith that no human being can give to another, but that every human being has what is highest, noblest, and most sacred in humankind. It is original in him, and every human being has it if he wants to have it.

Is a doctrine of everlasting punishment in hell consistent with God's perfect love and perfect justice? And what implications does this traditional doctrine carry for the nature of divine grace and mercy. In Hell in a Nutshell Charles Watson, Sr., argues that we should not allow a received doctrine, such as the doctrine of hell, to determine our understanding of God's justice, love, and mercy; instead, we should allow a biblically informed understanding of these divine attributes to shape our understanding of every received doctrine, including the doctrine of Hell.

What if by using the principles of logical argument, we can identify a true religion? Could we then not identify its existence from among the world's religions? And should we not promote that religion as the one and only true religion? The idea of a Utopian religion shouldn't scare anyone, but rather it should be sought after and embraced. The idea that we as a people can identify a true religion means that we must discard false or illogical religion and religious concepts.

Um dos livros mais polêmicos e impactantes de Nietzsche, O Anticristo traz uma crítica avassaladora aos princípios da fé cristã, considerada por ele como decadente e negadora da vida. Filósofo ateu, Nietzsche vinha elaborando pareceres controversos ao cristianismo ao longo de toda a sua vida filosófica. Nesta obra, ele os apresentou de uma forma incomum e nitidamente feroz, antes de se entregar à total loucura, poucos anos depois.

We humans know that we're going to die. We hope that we will have some form of afterlife. But we know that our bodies decay. Therefore in order to have an afterlife there must be some part of us that survives death. We have come to believe in the concept of the soul. This book describes a possible scientific explanation for the soul and describes the ongoing tests by NASA and others that may lead to proof of some of the elements of the scientific speculations described in this book.

Eckhart Tolle rappresenta la sintesi perfetta fra millenni di saggezza e il sentire contemporaneo: con una chiarezza e un'efficacia straordinarie, condensa nelle sue pagine gli insegnamenti dei grandi della storia del pensiero, da Buddha a Gesù, ma anche Shakespeare e, perché no, i Rolling Stones. Il suo messaggio è tanto semplice quanto capace di rivoluzioni, interiori ed esteriori. Basta spegnere il rumore di fondo che affolla di pensieri la nostra mente, abbracciare il presente scrollandosi di dosso l'ingombro del nostro ego.

"Der Antichrist" - Friedrich Nietzsche. Der sehr religiös aufgezogene Friedrich Nietzsche ging in die Geschichte ein als großer Kritiker christlicher Moral, aber auch Moral per se. In seinem Werk Der Antichrist wendet sich Friedrich Nietzsche offen gegen die Kirche, die seiner Meinung nach das geistige Erbe der Antike zerstört habe, aber auch gegen die christliche Glaubenslehre per se. Er lehnt die gepredigte Mitleidsethik ab und zeigt deutlich seine Verachtung für das Schwache und alles, was nicht nach Höherem strebt.
