Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, surveyor, and historian. The essay "Wild Apples" first appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862. It begins with a history of the apple tree, chronicling its journey from Ancient Greece to America. The author compares the history of the apple to that of mankind, contemplating it with a tragic eye. He considered the idea of wildness not as sinful, but the source of creativity.

Story
Mit tiefem Kenntnisreichtum bringt uns Hegel den Geist der Völker des alten Orients, der Antike und des christlichen Abendlandes nahe und verbindet sie zu einer Stufenfolge der Entwicklung der Freiheit. Alle Umwälzungen, aller Schmerz und alles Leid in der Geschichte sind der Idee geschuldet, dass der Mensch als Mensch frei ist. Sie ist der "Angelpunkt, um den sich die Weltgeschichte dreht". Hegels Weltgeschichte ist bis heute eine historische, philosophische und theologische Herausforderung.

Story
Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues.

Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason can lay claim to being the most important single work of modern philosophy, a work whose methodology, if not necessarily always its conclusions, has had a profound influence on almost all subsequent philosophical discourse. In this work Kant addresses, in a groundbreaking elucidation of the nature of reason, the age-old question of philosophy: “How do we know what we know?” and the limits of what it is that we can know with certainty.
