He is regarded as a leading pioneer of existentialism and one of the greatest philosophers of the 19th Century.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;In Fear and Trembling, Kierkegaard wanted to understand the anxiety that must have been present in Abraham when God commanded him to offer his son as a human sacrifice. Abraham had a choice to complete the task or to forget it. He resigned himself to the loss of his son, acting according to his faith. In other words, one must be willing to give up all his or her earthly possessions in infinite resignation and must also be willing to give up whatever it is that he or she loves more than God. Abraham had passed the test &amp;ndash; his love for God proved greater than anything else in him. And because a good and just Creator would not want a father to kill his son, God intervened at the last moment to prevent the sacrifice.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Negeri Binatang</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/negeri-binatang/</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2026 04:22:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/negeri-binatang/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The animals of Manor Farm live oppressed by Mr. Jones&amp;rsquo; cruel treatment. One day the animals forgot to be fed so they rebelled and took over the farm from humans, so that all the animals could live freely and happily. But eventually the rebellion was betrayed, and the fate of the animals was even worse than before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Proses (The Trial)</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/proses-the-trial/</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2026 03:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/proses-the-trial/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Joseph K, a bank employee, wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime that was never revealed to him. After being arrested, he was released, but had to report to court regularly—an annoying routine, as nothing was ever resolved.

(2) It is always wrong to have children. (3) It is wrong not to abort fetuses at the earlier stages of gestation. (4) It would be better if, as a result of there being no new people, humanity became extinct.

Each Upanishad, or lesson, takes up a theme ranging from the attainment of spiritual bliss to karma and rebirth, and collectively they are meditations on life, death and immortality. The essence of their teachings is that truth can by reached by faith rather than by thought, and that the spirit of God is within each of us - we need not fear death as we carry within us the promise of eternal life.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dhammapada</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/dhammapada/</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2026 03:22:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/dhammapada/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dhammapada is a Dhamma word, the words of the Gotama Buddha in the form of poetry (Gatha).

Through sharp observation and patient contemplation, Cioran cuts to the heart of the human experience.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Thousand Plateaus</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/a-thousand-plateaus/</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 03:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/a-thousand-plateaus/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In this work which follows The Anti-Oedipus published in 1972, Deleuze-Guattari questions not only the foundations of analytical and Marxist structuralism, but also all theories, whether communication or information, which aim at systematization.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;For the system, they replace a sort of patchwork which distinguishes smooth space from striated space according to multiplicities of futures, of intensity which intervene through all sign regimes.&#10;In the same way that they had reconstructed a policy of Kafka in which his work was read like a writing machine with multiple ramifications which revealed a language torn from meaning, representation and power, in the same way, in A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze-Guattari crosses all sign regimes: linguistics and writing of course but also music, philosophy, psychiatry, economics and history: that of peoples and that of the state apparatus.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kearifan Hidup</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/kearifan-hidup/</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2026 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/kearifan-hidup/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A leading German metaphysician from the 19th century, Arthur Schopenhauer, exerted an influence far beyond the hermetic world of philosophy, with adherents ranging from Richard Wagner and Friedrich Nietzsche to Leo Tolstoy and Thomas Mann. Among Schopenhauer&amp;rsquo;s main contributions to the field of philosophy was his rejection of the idealism of his contemporaries and his coverage of the practical variations of materialism. In Life Wisdom, the philosopher favors individual strength and independence. He examines ways of organizing life to obtain the highest levels of pleasure and success, provides guidelines for achieving this full and rich way of life, and suggests that even a well-lived life should always aspire to be more sublime.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Meditations on First Philosophy</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/meditations-on-first-philosophy/</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2026 03:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/meditations-on-first-philosophy/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In Meditations on First Philosophy, René Descartes leads readers into the heart of the most radical philosophical inquiry: what can we know for certain when everything is doubted? From the collapse of sensory certainty to the discovery of &amp;ldquo;I think, therefore I am,&amp;rdquo; Descartes formulated a new foundation for modern philosophy.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The six meditations he composed not only meticulously sift through doubt but also construct arguments about the existence of God, the clarity of the soul, and the fundamental difference between mind and body. The clarity of logic, equivalent to geometric proofs, makes this work a steadfast milestone in the history of Western thought.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Nausea</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/nausea/</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:22:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/nausea/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Nausea is the story of Antoine Roquentin, a French writer horrified by his own existence. In the form of an impressionistic diary, he ruthlessly catalogs every feeling and sensation he experiences regarding the world and the people around him.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;His thoughts culminate in a pervasive and intensely powerful feeling of nausea that “spreads at the bottom of a thick pool, at the very depths of our era, the age of purple suspenders and broken armchairs; it is made up of broad, soft moments, spreading to the edges, like an oil stain.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ethics: Proved in Geometrical Order</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/ethics/</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/ethics/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Spinoza&amp;rsquo;s Ethics is one of the most significant texts of the early modern period, important to history, philosophy, Jewish studies and religious studies. It had a major influence on Enlightenment thinkers and the development of the modern world. In Ethics, Spinoza addresses the most fundamental perennial philosophical questions concerning the nature of God, human beings and a good life. His startling answers synthesize the longstanding traditions of ancient Greek and Jewish philosophy with the developments of the emerging scientific revolution. The resulting philosophical system casts out the willing, personal God of Abrahamic religions and takes up the challenge of reconceiving the natural world and human beings in an entirely secular way. This volume offers a new translation based on a new critical edition, reflecting the state of the art in Spinoza scholarship, and also includes an introduction, chronology and glossary to help make this notoriously difficult text accessible.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mesin Waktu</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/mesin-waktu/</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/mesin-waktu/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;When a scientist travels to the year 802,701 AD with his invented time machine, he encounters a utopian society of evolved humans, but then unearths the dark secrets that lead humanity to inevitable destruction.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Candide</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/candide/</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 03:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/candide/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Translated from French. This book includes original illustrations.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Candide tells the story of a naive young man who steadfastly believes that “everything is for the best” even when faced with injustice, suffering, and despair. Controversial and entertaining, this novel is highly relevant in our world, which is filled with—as Candide puts it—“the madness of insisting that everything is fine when it is actually terrible.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sebuah Penyelidikan Tentang Pemahaman Manusia</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/sebuah-penyelidikan-tentang-pemahaman-manusia/</link><pubDate>Sat, 23 May 2026 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/sebuah-penyelidikan-tentang-pemahaman-manusia/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Have you ever thought about why every individual human being&amp;rsquo;s thoughts are different?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Why do couples need a process and time to understand something and not be sensitive to all your codes?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The answer is that it turns out that the human mind is complicated and complex, as well as understanding various things that it does not yet know and understand. A brief explanation and explanation along with case studies are present as examples of human thought paths into various categories and types which are thoroughly discussed in this book so that it is easier to understand.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Filsafat Nietzsche</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/filsafat-nietzsche/</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2026 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/filsafat-nietzsche/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Overall, this book is a very valuable lens into philosophy.&amp;rdquo;&amp;ndash;Choice&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Nietzsche&amp;rsquo;s Philosophy was first published in 1962 under the title Nietzsche et la Philosophie. This book showcases a rare combination of rigid scientific language and imaginative interpretation, illustrating how Friedrich Nietzsche pioneered a new way of philosophical thinking. Nietzsche&amp;rsquo;s Philosophy is one of the first books to challenge the assumption that dialectics is the sole foundation for radical thought.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Gilles Deleuze&amp;rsquo;s analysis opens an important path toward post-war thought: post-structuralism. And Deleuze also provided a new preface in the English edition translation, as the reader has in hand.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Berapa Luas Tanah yang Dibutuhkan Seorang Manusia</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/berapa-luas-tanah-yang-dibutuhkan-seorang-manusia/</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2026 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/berapa-luas-tanah-yang-dibutuhkan-seorang-manusia/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Tolstoy&amp;rsquo;s best short story collection contains:&#10;God Sees the Truth, But Waits&#10;What Men Live By&#10;How Much Land Does a Man Need?&#10;Three Deaths&#10;Where Love is There God is Also&#10;The Three Questions&#10;The Three Hermits&#10;A Grain As Big As a Hen&amp;rsquo;s Egg&#10;Alyosha the Pot&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mitos Sisifus</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/mitos-sisifus/</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2026 03:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/mitos-sisifus/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The Myth of Sisyphus explores the absurdity of human existence and our search for meaning in a world that seems to lack purpose. Camus poses a fundamental question: is this life worth living? If human existence no longer has meaning, what can prevent us from committing suicide? According to Camus, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, then it is humans who must take over that purpose themselves. This is an &amp;lsquo;absurd&amp;rsquo; task, like Sisyphus who endlessly rolls his stone up the hill, while the inevitable death looms over us.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Amoral</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/amoral/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/amoral/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Michel knows nothing about love when he marries Marceline solely to make his father happy. When the couple honeymooned in Tunisia, Michel became seriously ill, and during his convalescence he experienced an attraction to an Arab boy. Since then, Michel has found new freedom in trying to live according to his own wishes. But he also found that freedom can be a burden. Amoral examines the inevitable conflicts that arise when a pleasure seeker challenges conventional society and, without morality, the novel raises complex issues involving the magnitude of human responsibility.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Enchiridion dan Kumpulan Fragmen</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/enchiridion-dan-kumpulan-fragmen/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 03:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/enchiridion-dan-kumpulan-fragmen/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The Enchiridion (Handbook of Epictetus) is a collection of important treatises of Epictetus. Full of practical advice, this work offers guidelines for those who want to live a quiet life. For Epictetus, studying philosophy was not simply a matter of interpreting texts or developing skills in intellectual activity. Studying philosophy should be about learning about giving shape and purpose to our entire lives and using the knowledge we have to guide our actions and social relationships.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The World as Will and Representation Volume II</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/the-world-as-will-and-representation-volume-ii/</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2026 02:07:46 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/the-world-as-will-and-representation-volume-ii/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Arthur Schopenhauer&amp;rsquo;s Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung is one of the most important philosophical works of the nineteenth century, the basic statement of one important stream of post-Kantian thought. It is without question Schopenhauer&amp;rsquo;s greatest work. Conceived and published before the philosopher was 30 and expanded 25 years later, it is the summation of a lifetime of thought.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;For 70 years, the only unabridged English translation of this work was the Haldane-Kemp collaboration. In 1958, a new translation by E. F. J. Payne appeared that decisively supplanted the older one. Payne&amp;rsquo;s translation is superior because it corrects nearly 1,000 errors and omissions in the Haldane-Kemp translation, and it is based on the definitive 1937 German edition of Schopenhauer&amp;rsquo;s work prepared by Dr. Arthur Hübscher. Payne&amp;rsquo;s edition is the first to translate into English the text&amp;rsquo;s many quotations in half a dozen languages.

The story of the greatness of the Greek expedition to the East and the unfortunate fates of most of its leaders had spread in Greece from generation to generation in the form of short poems for hundreds of years before the Iliad and Odyssey were composed by Homer. However, Homer did not merely combine those poems; he selected, arranged, added to, and perfected them into a final result with his genius talent.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Illiad</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/illiad/</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Apr 2026 03:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/illiad/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The Iliad roars with the clamor of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss, and the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world―the fierce beauty of nature and the gods’ grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson’s hands, this thrilling, magical, and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem’s deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters―both human and divine.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Hamlet</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/hamlet/</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Mar 2026 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/hamlet/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Hamlet is a tragedy written by Shakespeare between 1599 and 1602, which tells the story of Prince Hamlet&amp;rsquo;s revenge against Claudius, his uncle.

From Plato to Christianity, from the Enlightenment to Nietzsche, Western tradition is founded on arrogant and mistaken beliefs about human beings and their place in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Philosophies such as liberalism and Marxism view humanity as a species destined to transcend natural limits and conquer the Earth. Even today, despite Darwin’s discoveries, nearly all schools of thought take as their starting point the belief that humans are radically different from other animals. John Gray argues that this humanist belief is nothing more than an illusion. The aim of &lt;em&gt;Straw Dogs&lt;/em&gt; is to explore what the world and human life would look like once humanism is finally abandoned.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Penderitaan Pemuda Werther</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/penderitaan-pemuda-werther/</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Oct 2024 03:22:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/penderitaan-pemuda-werther/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Werther, a young sensibility and romantic, meets and falls in love with Lotte.

This book is a brilliant overview of cultural views, from the perspective of psychoanalysis that Freud had developed since the beginning of the century. Civilization and Its Discontents (Civilization and Its Discontents, 1930) is a combination of things at once: a cursory flashback of The Future of an Illusion (1927), an analysis of the inevitable tensions that more or less make individuals enemies of society, a meditation on the lethargy that seems to be affecting so many people in modern civilization. However, this is the book of a psychoanalyst (we must remember this), and stands as a testimony and appreciation for the final theory of the soul—what is called structural theory (first revealed in Beyond the Pleasure Principle in 1920, and The Ego and the Id in 1923)—with its emphasis on acts of aggression, the impulse or stimulation of death, as Eros&amp;rsquo;s mortal enemy.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Eksistensialisme adalah Humanisme</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/eksistensialisme-adalah-humanisme/</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Apr 2024 03:22:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/eksistensialisme-adalah-humanisme/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“There is no doctrine more optimistic [than existentialism], for it asserts that human destiny lies within oneself.”&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Many people will be surprised by what I have to say here about humanism. We will try to determine exactly how we understand it. In any case, let’s begin by saying that what we mean by “existentialism” is a doctrine that enables human life to unfold and also affirms that every truth and every action implies a human context and subjectivity.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Interpretation of Dreams</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/the-interpretation-of-dreams/</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Feb 2024 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/the-interpretation-of-dreams/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;What are the most common dreams and why do we have them? What does it mean to dream about death? Symbolizes what dreams of swimming, failing, or flying?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;First published by Sigmund Freud in 1899, The Interpretation of Dreams answers why we dream and what it means in the larger picture of our psychological lives. Exploring real and latent theories of dream content, the special language of dreams, dreams as the fulfillment of desires, the importance of childhood experiences, and more, Freud, widely considered the father of psychoanalysis, thoroughly and seriously examined the psychology of dreams. Covering dozens of case histories and detailed analyzes of actual dreams, this book presents Freud&amp;rsquo;s legendary work as a tool for understanding our sleep experiences.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Catatan dari Bawah Tanah</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/catatan-dari-bawah-tanah/</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jan 2024 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/catatan-dari-bawah-tanah/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Notes from the Underground&amp;rdquo; is Dostoevsky&amp;rsquo;s most revolutionary novel. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former clerk who resolutely withdraws to underground life. In complete seclusion from society, he wrote a passionate, obsessive, contradictory narrative that served as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an affirmation of essentially irrational human nature.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kejahatan dan Hukuman</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/kejahatan-dan-hukuman/</link><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jan 2024 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/kejahatan-dan-hukuman/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with Porfiry, a suspicious detective, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption. As the ensuing investigation and trial reveal the true identity of the murderer, Dostoyevsky&amp;rsquo;s dark masterpiece evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone&amp;rsquo;s faith in humanity is tested.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Siddhartha</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/siddhartha/</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Oct 2023 03:22:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/siddhartha/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Siddhartha left his family to live as a samana, but his soul found no peace, and he went to live a worldly life. A child was born to him, but even this did not reassure him, and he returned to wandering. Almost desperate, Siddhartha reached the river bank and met Vasudeva the boatman. This meeting was the beginning of his new life––the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace, and finally, wisdom.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The History of Java</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/the-history-of-java/</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Aug 2023 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/the-history-of-java/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“I believe there is no one possessed of more information respecting Java than myself..”&#10;Thomas Stamford Raffles&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Without a doubt, the book The History of Java has become one of the most important historical sources for knowing the lives of Javanese people in the past. This book was written by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, a British-born administrator, who was obsessed with recording the exoticism of the Javanese world which was full of diversity and geographical and cultural uniqueness.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kejatuhan</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/kejatuhan/</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Aug 2023 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/kejatuhan/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In a bar in Amsterdam, a man named Jean-Baptiste Clamence makes a confession to a stranger. He reminisces about his past life as a respected judge, has high self-esteem, adheres to libertine ideology, but is immune to the judgments—portrait of a modern human being. In the end Clamence realizes that no one is innocent, and therefore no one can judge others from the standpoint of truth.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Man`s Search for Meaning</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/mans-search-for-meaning/</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Aug 2023 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/mans-search-for-meaning/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Buku ini menggabungkan kisah nyata pengalaman Viktor E. Frankl sebagai penyintas kamp konsentrasi Nazi dengan pemikiran psikologinya tentang logoterapi, yang menekankan bahwa manusia dapat bertahan dan bangkit dari penderitaan paling ekstrem ketika ia menemukan makna dalam hidupnya; melalui refleksi yang jujur dan mendalam, Frankl menunjukkan bahwa kebebasan terakhir manusia adalah memilih sikap terhadap keadaan, sekalipun dalam kondisi yang paling tidak manusiawi.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Manifesto Partai Komunis</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/manifesto-partai-komunis/</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jul 2023 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/manifesto-partai-komunis/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels&amp;rsquo; revolutionary 1848 summons to the working classes, is one of the most influential political theories ever formulated. After four years of collaboration, the authors produced this incisive account of their idea of Communism, in which they envisage a society without classes, private property, or a state. They argue that increasing exploitation of industrial workers will eventually lead to a revolution in which capitalism is overthrown. Their vision transformed the world irrevocably, and remains relevant as a depiction of global capitalism today.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Orang Asing</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/orang-asing/</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Jul 2023 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/orang-asing/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In &amp;ldquo;Strangers,&amp;rdquo; Camus explores the alienation of individuals who refuse to conform to social norms. Meursault as a character in this novel is both a victim and a villain. He showed no sadness when his mother died. And when he committed murder, his lack of remorse added to his guilt in the eyes of the law.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;hr&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Camus&amp;rsquo; &amp;ldquo;Stranger&amp;rdquo; became popular when his reviews appeared in the newspapers. It is always said that this book is the ‘best book after the world war.’ In the midst of the emergence of literary works at that time, this novel itself felt foreign. The novel comes from across the equator, from across the sea; in a bitter spring without coal. He tells the story of the sun not as an exotic wonder but with the drab familiarity of those who enjoy it too much; he doesn&amp;rsquo;t care about re-imposing old ways with his own hands, or covering us with feelings of worthlessness. People will remember when they read it that there was once a work that stood alone without trying to prove anything.&#10;—Jean-Paul Sartre&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ecce Homo</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/ecce-homo/</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Jun 2023 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/ecce-homo/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I was the first to discover the Truth&#10;I was the first to feel with the senses&#10;-kissing lies as lies&#10;I have chosen for myself said the Immoralist&#10;as a marker of distinction and a badge of honor I am proud to have this word that prepares me against all humanity&#10;(Friedrich Nietzsche: Why I Am Destiny)&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Nietszche was an extraordinary philosopher, until now his ideas are still alive even though he has been dead for more than 100 years.

This book, presented to Richard Wagner (great German composer, 1813-1883), was Nietzsche&amp;rsquo;s enthusiasm for Greek literature, especially his tragedy.

It is the history of his most individual experiences, namely the history of friendship, wishful thinking, joy and the darkest sorrow. Zarathustra was the first to see a wheel in the spinning of events in the battle between good and bad. Compared to any other thinker, Zarathustra is more honest and braver in uncovering all human depravity which is shrouded in various excuses that appear brilliant from the outside.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Beyond Good and Evil</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/beyond-good-and-evil/</link><pubDate>Sat, 17 Jun 2023 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/beyond-good-and-evil/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Whatever is done because of love always goes beyond good and evil.

Pentecostalism is also growing”great”and not only throughout Latin America, but also in Africa and even China. In the Philippines, tens of thousands of people surrendered to new religious movements such as El Shaddai. Many countries of the former Soviet Union, which have adhered to atheism for decades, have emerged with faith that is not only intact, but also strong and passionate. Even in Canada, a country barely known for its religious vitality, there is evidence of a revival of spirituality and religion.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Matinya Kepakaran</title><link>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/matinya-kepakaran/</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jun 2023 04:18:28 +0700</pubDate><guid>https://fahrel.my.id/en/books/matinya-kepakaran/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;How important is vaccination?

With valid data, Russell discusses the figures of philosophers who made major contributions to human civilization and details the great ideas, thoughts, their influence on society and subsequent philosophers.
