The Complete Classical Wisdom Collection (Vol. 5): On the Nature of Things, Fear and Trembling & The Genealogy of Morals - Exploring Existence from Ep
The Complete Classical Wisdom Collection (Vol. 5) assembles three groundbreaking works that explore existence from radically different angles-Epicurean science, Christian existentialism, and Nietzschean critique. This modern translation makes their profound insights fully accessible, guiding readers through questions of reality, belief, and human nature.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
On the Nature of Things by Lucretius - A poetic masterpiece of natural philosophy explaining the universe through atoms, void, and the rejection of fear-based superstition.Fear and Trembling by S ren Kierkegaard - A soul-searching examination of faith, sacrifice, and the torment of ethical paradoxes through the story of Abraham and Isaac.The Genealogy of Morals by Friedrich Nietzsche - A powerful deconstruction of morality, uncovering how guilt, punishment, and virtue have evolved through power struggles and resentment.Together, these three works form a sweeping journey through Western thought-from the rational materialism of antiquity to the trembling uncertainty of belief and the fierce defiance of modernity.
Lucretius offers calm in understanding nature. Kierkegaard offers anguish in the demand for faith. Nietzsche offers fire in the destruction of illusion.
Whether you seek clarity in a chaotic world or wish to confront the deepest tensions of the human condition, this volume will leave you transformed.
Step into a conversation with the universe, with God, and with yourself.
