Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 - 1831) ist in Stuttgart geboren und besucht dort die Schule. Bekannt wird er als Philosoph des deutschen Idealismus. Seine hohen Ideale beschreibt er als "absoluten Geist" und fordert statt des Behauptens das "begreifende Erkennen", welches durch Nachdenken zu erreichen sei. Lebenslang pflegt er sein großes politisches Interesse an der deutschen Staatsbildung. Die vielbeachteten Abhandlungen Die Verfassung Deutschlands (1802) und Über die wissenschaftlichen Behandlungsarten des Naturrechts (1803) sind beeindruckende Zeugnisse dafür.

Rescatamos los pensamientos que Francesco Guicciardini, el gran padre de la historiografía moderna, escribió bajo el título de Ricordi. Estas notas aforísticas, que fue reuniendo en distintos momentos de su vida y en diversos períodos de su actividad como diplomático, permanecieron inéditas hasta 1857. Vecino de Maquiavelo, catorce años mayor que él, en la República de Florencia, su pragmatismo sujeto a las circunstancias del momento lo oponían en cierto modo al autor de El príncipe.

Met de verkiezing van Donald Trump tot president van de V.S. staat het verschil tussen feit en fictie onder druk en daarmee ook de democratie zelf. Kunnen we voor onze tijd iets leren van belangrijke filosofische critici van het nazisme en totalitarisme? Zowel Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) als Karl Popper (1902-1994) waren van Joodse afkomst en vluchtten voor Hitler. Beiden probeerden de ideologische wortels van het nazitijdperk te doorgronden. Ook formuleerden ze normen waaraan een open en democratische samenleving moet voldoen.

A dazzling biographical study of the greatest German philosopher of the nineteenth century by one of the most widely read German-language authors of the twentieth century. In this vivid and eloquent biography, Zweig largely eschews the traditional academic discourse on the philosopher's work, instead concentrating entirely on Nietzsche as a person, his habits, his passions and his obsessions. Stefan Zweig describes the tragedy of Nietzsche's existence, his seclusion from the world, in self-imposed isolation, in a compelling and impressive way.

"The others form the human being, I depict him; and here I present an individual who is quite poorly formed and whom I would certainly make largely differently if I had to reshape him. But now that's the way he is." This phrase from the famous essays of Michel de Montaigne outlines the character of the author and his work. Montaigne wrote his essays not from a position of certainty but from an awareness of his inadequacy. He thus reveals a level of critical self-reflection that, before his time, was rarely put on paper.
