Discourse on Metaphysics, by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Part II.

A brisk tour of Leibnizian metaphysics: divine design in physics and biology, and the case for final causes alongside mechanical explanations. Discussions cover light’s optimal paths, kinds of knowledge, innate ideas versus sense learning, and the soul’s relation to the body via pre-established harmony. The narrative closes on divine providence, grace, and the spiritual order culminating in Christ’s revelation of the heavenly city.

Thus Spake Zarathustra, by Friedrich Nietzsche. Part VIII.

The modern British philosopher, Anthony M. Ludovici, said that this text “is unquestionably Nietzsche’s opus magnum.” However, he warns the reader that since “the book with the most mysterious, startling, or suggestive title, will always stand the best chance of being purchased by those who have no other criteria to guide them in their choice than the aspect of a title-page. ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra’ is almost always the first and often the only one of Nietzsche’s books that falls into the hands of the uninitiated.” He therefore recommends reading this text alongside some scholarly annotations, which Ludovici gratefully supplies in the volume read here. To keep Ludovici’s intention, these annotations (where available) are included immediately after the reading. Translated by Thomas Common (1850 - 1919).Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
