"Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536) was a Dutch humanist, scholar, and social critic, and one of the most important figures of the Renaissance. The Praise of Folly is perhaps his best-known work. Originally written to amuse his friend Sir Thomas More, this satiric celebration of pleasure, youth, and intoxication irreverently pokes fun at the pieties of theologians and the foibles that make us all h...

"Nietzsche's topic for his valedictorian dissertation at the school of Pforta was the poet Theognis, focusing on his life in Megara, his lyrical production, and his views on the gods, morality, and politics. Nietzsche saw Theognis as the intellectual champion of the defeated Megarian aristocracy, who sought to preserve the Dorian spirit and its noble virtues. By all accounts, it was a considera...

"Hugo Grotius was a major figure in the fields of philosophy, political theory and law during the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1609, he published a book on international law, Mare Liberum, in which he formulated and argued for the principle that the sea was international territory, free for all nations to use for seafaring and trade. The disputation was directed towards the Portuguese and their ...

"The letters of St. Basil comprise the most vivid and most personal portion of his works. Their variety is striking, ranging from simple friendly greetings to profound explanations of doctrine, from playful reproaches to severe denunciations of transgressions, from kindly recommendations to earnest petitions for justice. In them we see the artist at his best; in them we see the man as he is." "...

"Louis XIV (1638-1715) was the king of France who ruled his country, principally from his great palace at Versailles, during one of its most brilliant periods and who remains the symbol of absolute monarchy of the classical age. He raised France to be the exemplar nation-state of the early modern period, and established a cultural prestige which lasted through the subsequent centuries until tod...

"Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) was a German mathematician, astronomer and physicist. For his many contributions to number theory, geometry, probability theory, planetary astronomy etc. he is generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He was the son of poor parents, but as a child prodigy he rose to the notice of the duke of Brunswick who granted him financial assis...

"Dante, a victim of the local and papal politics that roiled Tuscan cities, was banished from Florence in 1302 and lived his final two decades in exile. An amnesty promulgated in 1315 would have allowed him to return, but being unwilling to comply with the terms-an admission of guilt and payment of a fine-he rejected the offer, and was sentenced to death by fire should he ever set foot again in...

"Samuel Johnson was an English writer who made lasting contributions as a poet, playwright, essayist, moralist, literary critic, sermonist, biographer, editor, and lexicographer. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography calls him "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history". Johnson attended Oxford University, but was forced to leave without a degree after just thirtee...

"Religion and faith dominated much of Newton’s life and work. His papers were filled with biblical speculation and timelines along with passages that excoriated the early Church fathers. Indeed, his radical theological leanings rendered him a heretic, according to the doctrines of the Anglican Church. An utterly original but obsessively private religious thinker, Newton composed several of the ...
