O Senhor Jesus, quando esteve aqui na Terra, fez uma promessa aos Seus discípulos de que partiria, mas voltaria para buscá-los (João 14).

A dense, architectonic treatise, Leviathan offers an anatomy of the commonwealth, opening with an account of human psychologyendeavors and aversions, power, passionswithin a mechanistic philosophy; from this Hobbes derives the state of nature as war of every man against every man and the rational laws of nature culminating in the social contract and submission to an undivided sovereign, by institution or acquisition. Combining geometrical definitions with polemical eloquence and scriptural exegesis, Leviathan (1651) emerges from the intellectual ferment of the Scientific Revolution and the confessional strife of the English Civil War. Hobbes (15881679), educated at Oxford and long associated with the Cavendish household, absorbed the new mechanics via Galileo and corresponded amid the Parisian philosophical milieu. Witness to civil tumult and exile, he feared the corrosions of sectarian zeal and scholastic obscurity; these experiences, alongside his materialist psychology, drove his bid to secure peace through absolute sovereignty. This work rewards readers in political theory, law, history, and theology. Whether one seeks foundations for state authority, a sharp account of liberty as non-impediment, or a cautionary meditation on disorder, Leviathan remains indispensableprovocative, lucid, and unsettling in its insistence that security precedes all other goods.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

The Confessions of St. Augustine is a spiritual autobiography cast as an extended prayer, interweaving narrative, theology, and scriptural exegesis across thirteen books. Augustine recounts his youth, flirtation with Manichaeism, career in rhetoric, and conversion in Milan, while probing memory, desire, time, and creation with unusual rigor. Its Latin prose marries Ciceronian cadence to biblical allusion and Neoplatonic terms, creating a self-scrutinizing voice that helped inaugurate Western interiority and the confessional mode. Born in 354 in Thagaste, Augustine trained as a rhetor in Carthage, Rome, and Milan; he passed through Manichaean dualism, Academic skepticism, and Neoplatonism before baptism under Ambrose in 387. Composed around 397400 as he served as bishop of Hippo, the Confessions praises providence, clarifies his motives, memorializes Monica, and instructs catechumens in desire rightly ordered to God. This classic rewards readers across theology, philosophy, and literature: its phenomenology of memory and time, its honest moral psychology, and its doxological ardor remain bracing. Whether approached as spiritual memoir or meditation on the souls restlessness, The Confessions offers enduring insight and prose artistry that repay slow, attentive reading.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

John Lockes Second Treatise of Government offers a lucid, juridical argument for political authority founded on natural law and consent. From a state of nature governed by reason, Locke derives a labor theory of property, the money convention, and limits on accumulation. He delineates fiduciary legislative power, executive prerogative, and a right of resistance, rebutting Filmers divine-right absolutism and shaping early liberal constitutionalism. An Oxford-trained physician and philosopher, Locke served Anthony Ashley Cooper, experienced exile in the Dutch Republic, and witnessed the Exclusion Crisis and the Glorious Revolution; the Two Treatises appeared anonymously in 1689. His administrative and colonial entanglements (e.g., the Carolina constitutions) informed chapters on property, conquest, and slavery, while his tolerationism and empiricism pressed against arbitrary rule. Scholars, lawyers, and citizens alike should read this Treatise for its elegant architecture and enduring theses on consent, property, and limited governmentand also critically, for its tensions over slavery and empire. As a foundation text of modern constitutionalism, it rewards close study alongside Hobbes, Filmer, and later republican and liberal thinkers.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Platos Republic is a dramatic Socratic dialogue that interrogates the nature of justice in the individual and the city, weaving dialectical argument with myth and images. Across ten books, Socrates and his interlocutors construct the kallipolis, governed by philosopher-kings, articulate the tripartite soul, and advance a rigorous program of education, including music, gymnastics, and mathematics. The analogies of the Sun and the Divided Line culminate in the Allegory of the Cave, situating politics within a metaphysics of Forms and a critique of poetry and mimesis. Composed in the early fourth century BCE, the work bears the imprint of Platos aristocratic Athenian upbringing, the trauma of the Peloponnesian War, and, above all, the execution of his teacher Socrates. As founder of the Academy, Plato seeks a curriculum for rulers, reshaping civic life through philosophical training and ethical discipline, against the perceived excesses of democratic and oligarchic regimes. Readers interested in political theory, moral psychology, education, or epistemology will find The Republic inexhaustible. Approach it patiently, attending to its dramatic form as well as its arguments; it rewards with a vision of civic order linked to the quest for truth, and a bracing challenge to our assumptions about freedom and culture.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Immanuel Kants The Critique of Pure Reason: Base Plan for Transcendental Philosophy outlines an architectonic program for delimiting human cognition. Through the Transcendental Aesthetic and Analytic, he argues that space and time are forms of intuition and that the categories ground synthetic a priori knowledge, culminating in the transcendental deduction. The Transcendental Dialectic unravels reasons illusionsparalogisms of the soul, antinomies of the world, and the ideal of Godsituating metaphysics within critique. The style is dense, technical, and systematic, bridging rationalist and empiricist legacies under a novel transcendental method. Kant, the Konigsberg philosopher shaped by Pietism and Newtonian science, wrote after Humes skepticism had famously awakened him from dogmatic slumber. Years of teaching logic, metaphysics, and natural philosophy sharpened his attention to the conditions of scientific knowledge. The 1781 A-edition and 1787 B-edition revisions display his effort to clarify the deduction and present a blueprint for a disciplined metaphysics. This book is indispensable for readers seeking a rigorous map of reasons powers and limits: students of epistemology and metaphysics, historians of ideas, and scientifically minded thinkers. Read slowly, perhaps alongside the Prolegomena or a glossary; the reward is a resilient framework for inquiry that continues to shape philosophical debate.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Meditations, a set of private notebooks in Greek, distills Stoic ethics into terse maxims, self-admonitions, and reflections on impermanence, duty, and cosmic order. Collected posthumously into twelve books, its fragments form a disciplined regimen of spiritual exercisesattention, causal analysis, and negative visualizationwithin the Greco-Roman hypomnemata tradition, in tacit dialogue with Epictetus and other imperial Stoics. Marcus Aurelius (121180 CE), emperor-philosopher, wrote amid wars on the Danube and the Antonine plague. Educated by Rusticus and other Stoic mentors, he turns power inward, using the notebook to recall exemplars, interrogate impulses, and convert the urgencies of rule into training for justice and steadinessoften, scholars believe, in encampments such as Carnuntum. Readers seeking practical philosophy, resilient leadership, or contemplative poise will find in Meditations both rigor and consolation. It can be read as a manual of character formation and as a rare voice of Roman Stoicism; it rewards slow, cyclical study, ideally across multiple translations. Return to it to refine attention, temper emotion, and renew civic-minded purpose.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
