The Antichrist ,(Reading Classic): Writer: Friedrich Nietzsche
About the Author
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and a cultural critic. He was born on October 15, 1844, in Rocken, Saxony, Kingdom of Prussia. His works criticize the traditional European morality, religious values as well as conventional philosophical ideas associated with modernity. He is often seen as a predecessor to late modern thinkers like Marx and Freud, because of his psychological analyses of false consciousness. He proposed many original theories positing an alternative morality and ideas which would bring forth a cultural renewal. His notable works include The Birth of Tragedy out of the Spirit of Music (1872), The Gay Science (1882), Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883–5), Beyond Good and Evil (1886), On the Genealogy of Morality (1887), Twilight of the Idols (1888) and The Wagner Case (1888). In 1889, Nietzsche suffered a mental breakdown. Eleven years later, he died on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, German Empire.

The art Of Rhetoric ,(Reading Classic): Writer: Aristotle
About the Author
Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist, who pioneered many contemporary disciplines. Together with Plato, Aristotle is regarded as a founding figure of Western philosophy. He was born in 384 BCE in Stagira, Chalcidice, Greece. His works have served as the basis for many philosophical movements including Renaissance, Reformation and the Enlightenment. Aristotelian thought also influenced Medieval Islamic philosophy. A lot of jargon, terminology and lexicon in philosophy has been borrowed from Aristotle s work.
His intellectual range was extensive and included logic, history, ethics, biology, chemistry, political theory, psychology, metaphysics, philosophy of science, and philosophy of mind. His work remained unsurpassed in zoology until the 19th century. His writings on metaphysics and political theory are still debated in contemporary philosophical and political studies. He died in 322 BCE, in Chalcis, Euboea.
