The author of this book Ethan Allen was a deist. Deists believe that God created the universe and then just set it running as part of his grand plan, a plan in which humanity is but an insignificant player. In this book, Allen speaks that everything in the universe is a part of a complex chain of cause and effect. Allen denies all supernatural occurrences because they dont belong to this chain of cause and effect. Yet, in this book, he also expresses a belief in mankinds free will. He asserts that the universe knows no good or evil but rather is indifferent to mankinds conceptions of morality. The most interesting passages of the book are inspired by the discoveries of the 16th-century Italian heretic Giordano Bruno who proposes that the universe contains myriad worlds, perhaps populated by a variety of life forms. Allen asks why then God would bother to cater specifically to our petty needs.

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) fatigó su vida y agotó su salud en el desempeño de la política (en un periodo histórico particularmente turbulento), hizo contribuciones decisivas a la ciencia (pulió el método cientifico hasta convertirlo en el instrumento mas eficaz para conocer la naturaleza), pero su aspiracion secreta fue la de vincular su nombre a la literatura. Bacon no estaba tanto interesado en la ficcion o en el tratado teorico, como en una forma nueva, que habia puesto en circulacion Montaigne: el ensayo. Una forma libre de pensamiento sobre toda clase de asuntos, comunes a los hombres, donde la imaginacion del abordaje se revela decisiva. Los Ensayos fueron durante años el orgullo secreto de Bacon y su contribucion mas importante a las letras inglesas. Estos textos breves y concentrados, fruto de una curiosidad disparada en multiples direcciones (la verdad, la muerte, la venganza, la envidia y el amor; pero tambien el disimulo, la sospecha, la ira, la fama o la conversacion; y saberes practicos como la salud, la jardineria o las negociaciones), siguen apelandonos directamente, gracias a dos grandes virtudes que les permiten sortear el paso del tiempo: una lucida comprension de la naturaleza humana, y una precision casi clinica con el lenguaje. El mundo cambia, pero las pasiones siguen aqui, y leidas con varios siglos de distancia, las palabras y las ideas de Francis Bacon (una inteligencia resuelta a pensarlo todo por si misma) siguen interpelandonos

Friedrich Nietzsche fue filósofo, escritor, poeta, filólogo y músico, y es considerado uno de los pensadores modernos más influyentes e importantes del siglo XIX. En la Colección Nietzsche, publicada por la editorial LeBooks, el lector tendra la oportunidad de conocer el universo de Nietzsche a traves de sus principales obras. "La Gaya Ciencia"(en aleman: "Die frohliche Wissenschaft") es la ultima obra de la fase positiva de Nietzsche, y se asemeja a "Aurora" y "Humano, Demasiado Humano" por su estilo ligero, ameno y florido en el que esta compuesta. Este es uno de los trabajos mas leidos del autor.

Al leer la obra "Sobre la Verdad y la Mentira", el lector, por más distraído que sea, percibirá de inmediato por qué Friedrich Nietzsche es conocido como el filósofo que construyó su filosofía a golpes de martillo. "Sobre la Verdad y la Mentira" consiste en una sucesion de golpes certeros sobre el orden establecido de su epoca. Critico implacable de la moral vigente en pleno pesimismo romantico, al mismo tiempo que pone en duda la validez del lenguaje como expresion adecuada de todas las realidades y se burla de la pretension humana de hacer que el mundo quepa en metaforas, es a traves del lenguaje y las metaforas, que abundan en su texto y que utiliza magistralmente, que expresa su indignacion. El lenguaje es, sin duda, el martillo de Nietzsche.

What Do I Know? offers the modern reader profound insight into a great Renaissance mind.
