Tractatus Logico-philosophicus Bok
<p><b>One of the greatest philosophical works of all time, in a new translation</b> <b>for the twenty-first century<br/></b><br/><b>'The final philosopher to perform the most profound surgery on philosophy ... concise yet exceptionally clear'</b> Ai Weiwei<br/><br/>Widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein's <i>Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus</i> is a succinct yet wide-ranging exploration of language and logic; of science and mysticism; of what can be said, and what can only be shown. Its austere beauty - along with its famous 'picture theory' of meaning - has inspired generations of thinkers, artists, novelists and musicians. In a series of short, bold statements, Wittgenstein seeks to define the limits of meaningful expression. Originally published in the early 1920s, it is the only book-length work the renowned philosopher published in his lifetime.<br/><br/>In this thrilling new translation, accompanied by a lively introduction by Jan Zwicky, Alexander Booth displays an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle influence on Wittgenstein's gem-like prose - at once specialist and, often, remarkably plain-spoken - of his background in mechanical engineering, while at the same time highlighting the underlying poetry of this seminal text.</p>

Meditations Bok
<p>HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.</p> <p>Our life is what our thoughts make it</p> <p>The extraordinary writings of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180), the only Roman emperor to have also been a stoic philosopher, have for centuries been praised for their wisdom, insight and guidance by leaders and great thinkers alike. Never intended for publication, Meditations are the personal notes born from a man who studied his unique position of power as emperor while trying to uphold inner balance in the chaotic world around him.</p> <p>Boldly challenging many of our biggest questions, Aurelius wrestles with the divided self, considering the complexities of human nature, rationality and moral virtue, affirming its place as one of the most timeless, significant works of philosophy to date.</p>

<p>Döden är människans grundvillkor, våra rädslors fixpunkt och förutsättningen för våra strävanden. Idéer om döden präglar alla kulturer och har gett upphov till såväl världsreligioner som lokala myter. I sekulära miljöer är dödens tillvaro dock mer undanskymd. Livsförlängande åtgärder har ersatt tanken om döden som meningsfull i sig eller en passage in i det okända. Denna volym täcker hela spektrumet av dödens skepnader med global spännvidd och historiskt djup; från några av de tidigast nedtecknade poetiska texterna via religiösa källskrifter och schamanistiska praktiker till rådande filosofiska och vetenskapliga perspektiv.</p><p>I tjugofyra essäer utforskar svenska och internationella experter olika vägar att närma sig döden. Bidragen omfattar egyptiska och sumeriska dödsriken, de stora religionernas etik, antika och moderna teorier om själen och medvetandet samt konstnärliga och litterära gestaltningar. I centrum för denna rikligt bildsatta antologi står frågan om vad historien kan lära oss inför vårt eget umgänge med döden och de döda. Boken finns även i svensk utgåva.</p>

Heresy Bok
<p><b>'<i>Heresy </i>is a brilliant book' -<i> The Times</i><br/><br/>'Enthralling . . . an absolute pleasure to read' - <i>The Sunday Telegraph</i><br/><br/>'In the beginning was the Word,' says the Gospel of John. This sentence - and the words of all four gospels - is central to the teachings of the Christian Church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind.</b><br/><br/>Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead.<br/><br/>Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable - even heretical - and they faded from view.<br/><br/><b>Now, in <i>Heresy</i>, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might have been.</b></p>
