НОВАЛИС И ОРФЕЙ Чрез поезията - да се направят клетките чувствителни за любовта, за героичното време на растенията, за математиката на сферите, за тоновете на камъните, за просвещението на природата. Чрез тайните вземаш участие в асоциациите на живота, в асоциациите на смъртта. Синъото цвете разцъфва в ръцете на Орфей, там, където бесите са обсебени. Венчелистчетата опипват пещерата на Космоса - видения капят във вените. Светът халюцинира в лилаво, бяло, синъо. Опразни до дъно чашката на Синъото Цвете....

ЧРЕЗ СЛОВОТО СТАНА ВСИЧКО „Бог, щом помисли, сътвори несъществувалото преди това...“ Йоан Екзарх ЙОАН ЕКЗАРХ - „ШЕСТОДНЕВ“ Кой е Йоан Екзарх и как можем да очертаем точно неговия силует? Един щурец в ухото на Бога. И ако сме подарили неговите писания на други - как да му ги върнем, без да смутим великите сенки? Устата златна на Йоан Златоуст Български златоусти. Той плиска словата из Плиска, разлива ги на Изток и на Запад, Изтокът и Западът са крила на един и същи кръст. Първият патриарх на Първата Българска църква, в луковицата ѝ- куполите, кръщелните купели, олтарите и иконите - архитектурата на вярата. Тя приютява душите - някогашните и бъдещите- на народа си....

Εμείς οι άνθρωποι γεννιόμαστε με ένα κουσούρι που δεν τό ‘χουν τ’ άλλα ζώα. Κάπου, βαθιά στο στέρνο μας, λίγο πάνω απ’ το στομάχι, ζει ένα πεινασμένο, αδηφάγο θεριό που, όσο αίμα, δάκρυα κι ιδρώτα ρουφάει, άλλο τόσο ζητάει. Του ρίχνεις λίγο φαγητό; Του δίνει μια χαψιά, κοιμάται για λίγο και μετά γυρεύει κι άλλο. Του δίνεις τόσο που να σκάσει, να μη μπορεί να κουνηθεί; Μεγαλώνει πιο πολύ, το βαριέται και θέλει κάτι διαφορετικό, πιο γαργαλιστικό. Το ταΐζεις έρωτα, παιδιά, τραγούδια και χορούς; Τα παιδεύει δυο βόλτες γύρω στα σαγόνια του και τα κατασπαράζει κι αυτά, δίχως να πει ευχαριστώ. Πασχίζεις, λοιπόν, να βρεις ολοένα και πιο σπάνια, όλο και πιο εκλεκτικά μεζεδάκια, για να καλμάρεις το θεριό: τέχνη, επιστήμη, φιλοσοφία, θρησκεία, εφευρέσεις... Μα το θεριό δε μπορείς να το χορτάσεις, παρά μόνο για λίγο. Δε μπορείς να το ησυχάσεις, παρά μόνο αν το ξεγελάσεις. Να του πεις ότι αυτά είναι όλα τα φαγιά του κόσμου, τέλεψαν, δεν έχει άλλα. Να το πείσεις πως πρέπει να είναι ευχαριστημένο που έφαγε και τόσο, γιατί άλλα θεριά περνάνε όλη τους τη ζωή νηστικά. Κάποιοι έχουν θεριά που δεν καταλαβαίνουν και πολλά, κι έτσι ξεγελιούνται εύκολ...

政治： 无政府主义者认为任何政权都无法能够长久持续的保障人民的利益，相反人性对权力的崇拜有可能会导致国家动荡、经济萧条和人为灾难，政权的存在或多或少都会产生独裁的根源，这种独裁根源有可能会影响到每个人自由选择生活的方式，从而影响社会的意识形态，所以无政府主义者认为任何政权的存在都不可能真正为大多数劳苦大众服务，即便是为大多人服务也是一时的，不代表可以长期可持续的。 社会： 在社会方面，无政府主义者倾向社会结构应该实现高度自治，自治的目的是为了更好的管理国家，而不是服从国家或者某个政党，无政府主义者对于社会的理想状态是地球是一个地球村，人类不应该有国家和国界，但是在人类还没达到高度公民社会的前提下，这种理想只是既有一种空用梦想的情怀，短期内是无法实现的，所以夜伤鹰提出，无政府主义者应该在长期一段时间内认同国家的存在，认为国家的存在和高度自治并不矛盾，高度自治应该是建立在各类社交媒介上，自治应该率先实现社团的“物以类聚人以群分”的理念，根据不同人的思想意识和价值观实现自由组合，组成社团家庭，然后在国家体制下，由无数个社团单元构成社会的组织形态，社团的作用应该在国家事务中发挥重要作用。 军事： 在军事方面，无政府主义者应该根据自己所在的社团作为个人战斗单位，为了维持无政府主义者不被其它外来主义消灭和吞噬，在遇到外来主义军事入侵的时候，应该人人皆兵，宣誓为自由而战，在军事方面，以社团联盟为主，无政府主义者平时没有军事联盟领袖，一旦发生战争，应该由各社团代表迅速组建起联盟，一致对外，战争结束以后联盟解散，无政府主义者不应该有对外扩张和侵略的企图心，军事上以自卫为目的，从不主动发生战争。 法律： 无政府主义的法律体系同样分为民事和刑事，民事上的法律体系以自主契约为范本，也就是说在平时民事生活当中，双方只要有自主拟定契约的行为就应当视为契约精神根据事实依旧进行仲裁，民事方面的事实依旧同样需要各类证据作为佐证。 刑事方面，对于作奸犯科者同样需要进行法律的惩罚，无政府主义对应的刑责应该和自己犯下的罪行划等号，例如违背妇女意志强奸妇女，应该由妇女提出合理赔偿方案以及惩罚要求，社团法院进行仲裁，社团法院应该尽可能满足被害人的要求惩治受害人，但是需要根据罪行的情节而定，不具备剥夺犯罪人生命的刑责要求的社团法院理应驳回被害人请求。 宗教： 反对任何形式的宗教，本人认为，人类的思想意志应该高度自由化，不应该由任何宗教思想去植入人内心自然产生的思想，任何外来的宗教思想去灌输和教化别人都是不对的，都是违背人与生俱来的自由思想，自由的思想需要由独立意志的观点去支撑，也就是说你的思想首先应该是独立的自成体系的，...

This essay, written in 1795, puts forth a plan for a lasting peace between nations and peoples. Kant puts forth necessary means to any peace, and argues that nations can be brought into federation with one another without loss of sovereignty. In one translation, telling of the historical impact of this essay, this federation is called a “league of nations.” The supplements and appendices are of considerable interest on their own. The supplements contain an argument regarding the use which nature makes of war, and the way in which nature, in the end, impels us towards peace. The appendices return to the question of whether his theory is mere theory, or whether it bears translation into practice. In this, he distinguishes between the moral politician and the political moralist, pointing out ways in which practical considerations conceal and excuse behavior that leads us towards discord and war. This essay continues to be relevant, and of great importance today, much to our shame. We hope still to find the perpetual peace which Kant argued as a obligatory goal, and we still have need of fear that we will, as Kant warned, “find Perpetua...

Allen's books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement. Allen's most famous book, As a Man Thinketh, was published in 1902. It is now considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person....

The Life of Reason, subtitled the Phases of Human Progress, is a book published in five volumes from 1905 to 1906, by Spanish-born American philosopher George Santayana (1863-1952). It consists of Reason in Common Sense, Reason in Society, Reason in Religion, Reason in Art, and Reason in Science. The work is considered to be the most complete expression of Santayana's moral philosophy [...]. Santayana's philosophy is strongly influenced by the materialism of Democritus and the refined ethics of Aristotle, with a special emphasis on the natural development of ideal ends. The Life of Reason is sometimes considered to be one of the most poetic and well-written works of philosophy in Western history. To supply but a single example, the oft-quoted aphorism of Santayana's, Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, may be found on p. 284 of Reason in Common Sense....

Lessings Kritik an der Horazübersetzung des seinerzeit bekannten Pastors Lange ist unerbittlich und von fast brutaler Genauigkeit. Aus der Einzelkritik Lessings wird deutlich, dass Pastor Lange tatsächlich mit der unternommenen Horazübersetzung überfordert war, ihm fehlte sowohl das Verständnis für das lateinische Original als auch die deutsche Ausdruckskraft. Die Form des Verrisses gibt Lessing aber vor allem Gelegenheit, seine eigene profunde Bildung und ein sensibles Textverständnis zu demonstrieren. Seine rhetorische Sachlichkeit überzeugt bis heute und weist dem heute vergessenen Pastor Lange jederzeit die Rolle eines elenden Gegners zu. Der Text ist leider nachlässig ediert, vor allem bei den Zitaten. Das Moschuszitat auf S. 573f. (aus dem 2. Idyllion v. 131ff.) ist mit zwei Druckfehlern und ohne diakritische Zeichen kaum zu lesen, hier wurde der Text für die Aufnahme aus der folgenden zeitgenössischen Ausgabe berichtigt: http://books.google.de/books?id=E1U-AAAAcAAJ Theocriti, Bionis et Moschi Carmina Bucolica, graece et latine, ed.

The Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals, also known as The Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals or Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals or Grounding of the Metaphysics of Morals, is Immanuel Kant's first contribution to moral philosophy. It argues for an a priori basis for morality. Where the Critique of Pure Reason laid out Kant's metaphysical and epistemological ideas, this relatively short, primarily meta-ethical, work was intended to outline and define the concepts and arguments shaping his future work The Metaphysics of Morals. However, the latter work is much less readable than the Fundamental Principles.(Summary from Wikipedia)...

The Novum Organum is a philosophical work by Francis Bacon published in 1620. The title translates as new instrument. This is a reference to Aristotle's work Organon, which was his treatise on logic and syllogism. In Novum Organum, Bacon details a new system of logic he believes to be superior to the old ways of syllogism. For Bacon, finding the essence of a thing was a simple process of reduction, and the use of inductive reasoning . . . This work was critical in the historical development of the scientific method....

Marius the Epicurean is a philosophical novel written by Walter Pater, published in 1885. In it Pater displays, with fullness and elaboration, his ideal of the aesthetic life, his cult of beauty as opposed to bare asceticism, and his theory of the stimulating effect of the pursuit of beauty as an ideal of its own. The principles of what would be known as the Aesthetic movement were partly traceable to this book; and its impact was particularly felt on one of the movement's leading proponents, Oscar Wilde, a former student of Pater at Oxford.
