The Friendship Test - Elizabeth Noble - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A beautiful story of friendship from the Number One bestselling author of The Reading Group and Things I Want My Daughters to Know They say the friends you make at college are with you for life, and for Tamsin, Reagan, Sarah and Freddie that certainly seems to be the case. With student life stretching ahead of them, they bonded years ago over too many bottles of wine and great gossip; ill-fated love affairs and essay deadlines were the only clouds on their horizon.Although the four women have little in common this seems to make them greater friends, and they swear they''ll always be there for one another . . . but twenty years is a long time to keep a promise.And so, when tragedy plays a hand, their friendship is put to the ultimate test. Can they put their troubles and differences aside and remember the simple joy of their younger selves? After all, friends should always come first, shouldn''t they? Previously published as The Tenko Club ''Deliciously readable'' The Times ''I defy you not to cry at least once'' Sun

De Anima (On the Soul) - Aristotle - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

De Anima (On the Soul) - Aristotle - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For the Pre-Socratic philosophers the soul was the source of movement and sensation, while for Plato it was the seat of being, metaphysically distinct from the body that it was forced temporarily to inhabit. Plato''s student Aristotle was determined to test the truth of both these beliefs against the emerging sciences of logic and biology. His examination of the huge variety of living organisms - the enormous range of their behaviour, their powers and their perceptual sophistication - convinced him of the inadequacy both of a materialist reduction and of a Platonic sublimation of the soul. In De Anima, he sought to set out his theory of the soul as the ultimate reality of embodied form and produced both a masterpiece of philosophical insight and a psychology of perennially fascinating subtlety.

Candide, or Optimism - Voltaire - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''The prince of philosophical novels'' John UpdikeIn Candide , Voltaire threw down an audacious challenge to the philosophical views of the Enlightenment to create one of the most glorious satires of the eighteenth century. His eponymous hero is an innocent young man whose tutor, Pangloss, has instilled in him the belief that ''all is for the best''. But when his love for the Baron''s rosy-cheeked daughter is discovered, Candide is cast out to make his own fortune. As he and his various companions roam over the world, an outrageous series of disasters - earthquakes, syphilis, the Inquisition - sorely test the young hero''s optimism, holding a mirror up to all fanatics, zealots and moral reformers of humankind.
