The Young Nietzsches Education : An Interpretation of Nietzsches Untimely Considerations
A new interpretation of what is arguably Nietzsche's most neglected work.
This study is an interpretation of the four essays that comprise Nietzsche's Untimely Considerations (also called the Untimely Meditations) as a single, coherent whole whose focus is to educate their readers toward self-cultivation and genuine culture and ultimately to the philosophic life. Jozef Majerník engages in a close reading of each of the essays, finding in them Nietzsche's theoretical understanding of human life in general as well as the best possible kind of life and plans for large-scale cultural reform in conjunction with Wagner's Bayreuth project. The focal point of Majerník's interpretation is the complex understanding of the nature of the human soul found in the Untimely Considerations, which he terms the "erotic-historic soul" after its two main constituent parts, desiring and memory. He argues that this conception of the soul is, at its core, the same model that we find in Nietzsche's mature works.
How Not to Be Wrong
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe maths we learn in school can seem like an abstract set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In fact, Jordan Ellenberg shows us, maths touches on everything we do, and a little mathematical knowledge reveals the hidden structures that lie beneath the world's messy and chaotic surface. In How Not to be Wrong, Ellenberg explores the mathematician's method of analyzing life, from the everyday to the cosmic, showing us which numbers to defend, which ones to ignore, and when to change the equation entirely. Along the way, he explains calculus in a single page, describes Gödel's theorem using only one-syllable words, and reveals how early you actually need to get to the airport.
The Kiss
This book tells the surprising history of our most intimate gesture: the kiss. Richly illustrated, it explores a millennium of kisses, asking how and why the kiss has retained its power over the centuries, and what it might mean today. From the furtive kisses of fated lovers Heloise and Abelard to The Godfather’s ‘kiss of death’, Katie Barclay shows how the kiss can be romantic, peaceful, transgressive, intimate, erotic and more. There are kisses that are bad ideas, dangerous kisses and funny ones. New kisses are invented and old ones fall out of favour. While the kiss continues to change, Barclay shows that we kiss fewer people, and less often, than we used to.The Kiss reveals a cultural inheritance transmitted in story and song, art and literature, and through the everyday kisses that we receive from our parents, or reserve for our lovers; when we kiss, we kiss with the weight of history.

Algorithmic Capital
This book provides a critical theory of the new stage of algorithmic capitalism, and maps out paths for critique and resistance. AI and algorithms are not just technologies, they are rooted in new capitalist forms and processes that transcend economics and technology. as a result, they profoundly reshape social reality, politics, culture and subjectivities. Set out in 20 theses, that stretch from geopolitics, the mining of rare earths, labour, crypto, influencers, climate change, GenAI, social acceleration, Silicon Valley ideologies and predictive policing, this book situates contemporary social change in the context of the advent of algorithmic capital. Through this the authors show how the valorization of data and the development of AI are symptoms of deeper socio-economic and political mutations. Algorithmic capital is, at once, a logic of accumulation, a form of social power, a mediation of social relations and a relation to nature, as well as a multidimensional reality that profoundly reshapes social life. In the face of this new stage of capitalism, the book explores paths towards organizing and resistance, tracing ways of fighting and exiting algorithmic capitalism towards a post-capitalist and just world.

Ring of Fire
'Churchill and Eberholst put the world back into First World War.' Dan SnowA remarkable, eyewitness-based view of the outbreak of the First World War.As war broke out in the summer of 1914, not a nation on Earth understood the magnitude of what they were about to face. To win it, whole populations had to be mobilised, and neutrality was impossible. The scale of destruction was unfathomable and no life was left unchanged.Our understanding of this complex conflict has been coloured by a blinkered approach to popular history. It has ignored the fact that Denmark actively participated in laying minefields as soon as war began; that the first British shots were fired in West Africa, by a black man; and that the first Australian casualties occurred not at Gallipoli, but in the Pacific.The authors of this radical new history have scoured the globe in search of an enormous quantity of fresh material. This is not history told by 'great men', this is a people's view of the war. Eyewitness accounts translated from more than a dozen languages break new ground to reveal an inclusive, touching and surprising tale of events we thought we knew.\
Manly Palmer Hall
On December 5, 1923, at just twenty-two years old, Manly Palmer Hall embarked on the defining pilgrimage of his early life, boarding the S.S. Franconia for a journey around the world. The voyage was conceived an ambitious spiritual and intellectual expedition, as Hall set out to encounter firsthand the religious traditions, sacred philosophies, symbols, and cultural systems that had long stirred his imagination through books. This journey became the inspiration for Hall’s masterpiece, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, an encyclopedic synthesis of myth, mysticism, esoteric philosophy, comparative religion, and symbolic traditions from around the globe. The book supported his enduring conviction that beneath the world’s diverse religions and mystery schools lay a perennial philosophy: a hidden wisdom expressing humanity’s enduring search for truth. The Secret Teachings would secure his place as one of the twentieth century’s foremost interpreters of esoteric thought.Created in close collaboration with Manly P. Hall’s archives at the Philosophical Research Society, this newly curated edition offers a fresh gateway into Hall’s landmark esoteric masterpiece. Revered as a classic since its original publication in 1928, Hall’s monumental encyclopedia remains one of the most expansive explorations of subjects ranging from Hermetic philosophy and Tarot to Egyptian mythology, sacred geometry, and Pythagorean thought. This thoughtfully abridged companion edition brings renewed life to Hall’s visionary work, with previously unpublished photographs from his global travels alongside the extraordinary illustrations of J. Augustus Knapp and additional works by Hall’s longtime creative collaborator, Mihran Serailian. Together, these artists illuminate nearly 60 mythological and magical subjects, creating a volume that is both an essential introduction for new readers and a visually immersive reexamination for longtime seekers.

Andy Warhol
Well before Andy Warhol’s rise to the pinnacle of Pop Art, he created and exhibited seductive drawings celebrating male beauty. Andy Warhol Love, Sex, & Desire: Drawings 1950–1962 features over three hundred drawings rendered primarily in ink on paper portraying young men, many of them nude, some sexually charged, and occasionally adorned with whimsical black hearts and delightful embellishments. They lounge or preen, proud of or even bored by their beauty, while the artist sketches them, rapt. They rarely engage with their keen observer, and likewise Warhol’s focus is on their form, their erotic qualities, and unbridled sexuality. If his subjects are content to revel in their attractiveness, so too is Warhol. His confident hand illustrates a multitude of colorful characters, yet also reveals much about this enigmatic artist.Warhol was already a booming commercial illustrator when he exhibited studies from this body of work at the Bodley Gallery on New York’s Upper East Side in 1956. He mistakenly saw these illustrations as his way of breaking into the New York art scene, underestimating the pervading homophobia of the time. While he never saw through his plan to publish the drawings as a monograph, he did produce more than a thousand elegant, seemingly effortless drawings from life. This volume brings his project to fruition by gathering his most striking images, published in a comprehensive book and chosen by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Edited and featuring an introduction by the Foundation’s Michael Dayton Hermann, and essays by Warhol biographer Blake Gopnik and art critic Drew Zeiba. The inclusion of poems by James Baldwin, Thom Gunn, Harold Norse, Essex Hemphill and Allen Ginsberg create moments of introspection, which expand on the themes and moods present in the drawings.In style, the drawings evoke the sketches of Jean Cocteau and even Matisse: highly distilled and sure of line, yet loose. The sly voyeurism, meanwhile, is entirely Warhol’s own, and even the most risqué drawings contain a kind of droll humor?a sense of ironic detachment?that would become a Warhol trademark.

Think Like a Stoic
In a world overflowing with abundance and information, the calm and clarity of stoicism has never been more necessary. In this new book, bestselling author Ken Mogi explores the ancient Greek philosophy as well as its resonance with other cultures around the world, not least his own Japanese perspective. The result is a new version of stoicism that is practical, global, future-proof and, above all, optimistic.With his expertise as a neuroscientist, Mogi uncovers the cognitive foundations of the resilience that is so central to stoicism. Rooted in science, he finds in stoicism robust coping strategies for the challenges of modern life, and ways to balance self-discipline with enjoying life's pleasures.But stoicism is also a mindset that uniquely equips us to handle the future, from global challenges such as the climate emergency to the rise and rise of AI. Thinking like a stoic, he argues, can offer us not just a path for personal growth and wisdom, but the key to the future of humanity.

Under Story
The New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists returns with an intimate yet epic love story—and a sweeping odyssey of scientific discovery. Under Story invites us to consider the promise of this life, what might lie beyond it, and how far we would go for more time with the people we love, cementing Chloe Benjamin’s place among our best, and most lasting, storytellers.“We wake up to tomorrow, never yesterday.”At the edge of the world, biologist Laurel Salter is hiding from everything she’s ever known. For ten hours a day, six days per week, she works as a dishwasher at McMurdo Station, an isolated research base in Antarctica. She tells no one that before she arrived, she was a renowned young scientist with a promising career and a family.But even in this remote outpost, Laurel can’t escape her past. When a strange light appears across the ice—and draws a group of physicists to McMurdo—her former husband, Eli, won't be far behind. Laurel is captivated by the Arc: its surreal glow; the way it seems almost alive. And though Eli is reluctant to test her wildest theory, Laurel is convinced that the Arc leads down a rabbit hole and into a world they can barely imagine. Can she persuade him to risk everything to fix the burden that hangs between them—to turn back the clock and live their story a second time?A breathless page-turner and a love letter to our planet, Under Story grapples with the great questions of our time: human hubris, the precarity of the natural world, and the mysterious webs of consciousness that bind us. A modern epic of science and soul, of bravery and redemption, it offers a vision of the future that demands we reckon with what we owe to one another, and to the earth itself.
