In Gaetano Mosca's groundbreaking work, The Ruling Class (originally published as Elementi di Scienza Politica in 1896), the Italian political philosopher shatters the illusions of pure democracy by revealing a timeless truth: in every society, from ancient civilizations to modern nations, power is always concentrated in the hands of an organized minority–the ruling class.

Proclus - or Proclus of Athens, as he is sometimes known - is widely and rightly considered to be one of the most significant later Neoplatonist philosophers. At age 40 (c.437 CE) or so, Proclus became head of the revived Plato’s Academy in Athens. In his role for the next 50 years, the unmarried Proclus worked hard, combining effectively the roles of administrator, teacher and writer. Astronomy, ethics, mathematics, physics, theology - Proclus tackled all of those topics that together fell under the umbrella of philosophy in his time.

Elements of The Philosophy of Right, a key work in the output of Georg Wilhelm Hegel (1770-1831), appeared in 1820 - and was arguably his last major publication. His intention was to state his views on the philosophy of law, political and social theory and ethics. Appearing as it did in a crucial time for the Prussian state - still affected by the Napoleonic wars and their aftermath - it was viewed differently by those on both the left and the right of the political spectrum.

After building and exiting multiple 8-figure businesses, physicist and spiritual teacher Randy Lyman uncovered a profound truth: success, abundance, and inner peace doesn’t come from thinking harder or working more.

It is produced so that you can consider alternative possibilities. There is not one true and correct way to stumble upon the intelligence of the universal mind.

Lacerta said it was copper. The Sumerian tablets say it is gold. Bruce said it was the fifth element. Mellon said it was some bs. Lue never heard of it. Bob said it was element 115.

From the moment we are incarnated—from the first breath to the last—we are unraveling. The forces that sustain us are the very forces that undo us. Oxygen nourishes and corrodes. Water gives life and drowns. Fire warms and devours. Love makes us whole and tears us apart. The universe does not merely allow contradiction—it is built upon it. Yet, beneath the surface of these scientific truths lies something deeper—the philosophy of the divine. If existence is intentional, if consciousness is no accident, then this paradox is no mere cosmic coincidence.

This 2017 revised, updated, and reformatted edition is not an article in the classical sense, but rather an intuitive summary of all of the author’s nonfiction books. Its paradigmatic style and authoritative diction have not a little in common with Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This expanded worldview is a concise sketch of "realizable" new ways, both individually and collectively, or, in a more expanded formulation, a new worldview that re-institutes real morality principles instead of the fake morality that postmodern international consumer culture practices
