LIVES Worth Knowing

LIVES WORTH KNOWING. Which have changed your own without you knowing it. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, G. B. Shaw, Jesus of Nazareth, Karl Marx and R. P. Finch are put side by side as though they were alive today, referring to one another throughout. The ideas of each revealed in all their stark implications. Does Nietzsche condemn mankind to his blond-beast and Übermensch Morality? Then there is the condemnation of the Will-to-Live by Schopenhauer. Dostoevsky brings to bear the nature of his 'underground' dilemmas, used by foolish people like Jordan Peterson. G. B. Shaw: brought to task over Stalin. His supposed revolutionary credentials under scrutiny. Jesus of Nazareth, accused through the ages of standing the world on its head with his 'Turn The Other Cheek' propositions. And how he has been deliberately falsified, religiously and politically. Karl Marx: being introduced to Stalin and Lenin and his own words on the problems of political change. Also how he was used against himself by some calling themselves Marxist. Myself R. P. Finch: What I think about it all.
