Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.

When I bought the book I originally wanted to write this review for the Black History Month... As you can see I couldn't make it: the book requires special attention from the reader, as it tackles a complex topics such as racism, colonialism and psychologist whilst imbuing the whole with references to literature and philosophy - everything written in exquisite academic language. It might not be everyone's taste, but if you are interested in such topics, you'll be astonished by this profound, foretelling piece of work.

Intellectually stimulating, a must lecture.
Das neue Buch von Rüdiger Safranski beschreibt die Entwicklung des Individualismus. Er beginnt in seinem Buch "Einzeln sein" mit der Renaissance und führt uns über Luther, Montaigne, Diderot, Stendhal, Kierkegaard, Stirner und Thoreau bis zu George, Huch, Arendt und Sartre und endet mit Ernst Jüngers "Waldgang" von 1951. Die Gegenwart spart er leider aus. Trotzdem ist es ein gut lesbares Buch mit vielen neuen und klugen Gedanken zu einem Thema, das die Menschheit schon immer beschäftigt hat - die Einsamkeit.

Author

Aurelius, MarcusMarcus Aurelius Antoninus was born to an upper-class Roman family in A.D. 121 and was later adopted by the future emperor Antoninus Pius, whom he succeeded in 161. His reign was marked by a successful campaign against Parthia, but was overshadowed in later years by plague, an abortive revolt in the eastern provinces, and the deaths of friends and family, including his co-emperor Lucius Verus. A student of philosophy from his earliest youth, he was especially influenced by the first-century Stoic thinker Epictetus. His later reputation rests on his Meditations, written during his later years and never meant for formal publication. He died in 180, while campaigning against the barbarian tribes on Rome's northern frontier.
