The Myth of Sisyphus
The book that transformed philosophy with its impassioned argument for the value of life in a world without religious meaning.

On the Shortness of Life
Powerful insights into stoicism, morality and the importance of reason.

Meditations
A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behaviour.

Man Alone with Himself
Subjects ranging from art to arrogance, boredom to passion, science to vanity, rejecting conventional notions of morality to celebrate the individual’s ‘will to power’.

An Answer to the Question: ‘What is Enlightenment?’
Kant investigates human progress, civilization, morality and why, to be truly enlightened.

Fear and Trembling
Kierkegaard argues that a true understanding of God can only be attained by making a personal “leap of faith.”

The Sickness Unto Death
This book explores the concept of ‘despair’ as a symptom of the human condition and describes man’s struggle to fill the spiritual void.

Of Human Freedom
A personal and practical guide to moral self-improvement and living a good life.

How to be a Stoic
Three great Stoic philosophers – Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius – offer ancient wisdom on how to face life’s adversities and live well in the world.

Being Happy
Epicurus argues that pleasure – not sensual hedonism, but the absence of pain or fear – is the highest goal of life.

What is Existentialism
Explores the absurdity of our notions of good and evil, and show instead how we make our own destiny simply by being.

The Symposium
A deft interweaving of different viewpoints and ideas about the nature of love.
