Magnificent Rebels
£25.00Magnificent Rebels
In the 1790s an extraordinary group of friends changed the world. Disappointed by the French Revolution’s rapid collapse into tyranny, what they wanted was nothing less than a revolution of the mind. The rulers of Europe had ordered their peoples how to think and act for too long. Based in the small German town of Jena, through poetry, drama, philosophy and science, they transformed the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. They were the first Romantics. Their way of understanding the world still frames our lives and being. We’re still empowered by their daring leap into the self. We still think with their minds, see with their imagination and feel with their emotions. This extraordinary group of friends changed our world. It is impossible to imagine our lives, thoughts and understanding without the foundation of their ground-breaking ideas.

Tractatus logico-philosophicus
£9.99Tractatus logico-philosophicus
Widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the 20th century, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s ‘Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus’ is a succinct yet wide-ranging exploration of language and logic; of science and mysticism; of what can be said, and what can only be shown. Its austere beauty – along with its famous ‘picture theory’ of meaning – has inspired generations of thinkers, artists, novelists and musicians. In a series of short, bold statements, Wittgenstein seeks to define the limits of meaningful expression.
