Søren Kierkegaard’s Works of Love is a philosophical and theological meditation on Christian love (agape), examining what it means to love one’s neighbor not as a feeling, preference, or social bond, but as an ethical and spiritual obligation. Written under Kierkegaard’s own name rather than a pseudonym, the book reflects his mature voice and his deep engagement with Christianity as a lived practice rather than a system of doctrine.

Blending philosophy, theology, and moral reflection, Works of Love explores themes such as self-sacrifice, forgiveness, humility, and the hiddenness of genuine love. While rooted in Christian scripture, the work speaks broadly to questions of ethical responsibility, sincerity, and what it means to love authentically in everyday life.

The new foreword by George Pattison, one of the leading contemporary scholars of Kierkegaard and philosophy of religion, situates Works of Love within both Kierkegaard’s broader authorship and modern ethical debates. Pattison clarifies the book’s relevance for readers today, highlighting how Kierkegaard’s account of love challenges modern notions of authenticity, individualism, and moral motivation—making this edition especially accessible and timely for new readers.

This edition offers readers the complete texts in a rich and poetic language that highlights the timeless struggles of its characters against fate and societal norms. — Quick view Add to Cart

The Virtue of Selfishness, written by Ayn Rand, is a seminal collection of essays that articulates the principles of Objectivism, a philosophy advocating rational self-interest and individualism. This edition includes additional articles by Nathaniel Branden, enhancing the discourse around self-interest. The book explores the ethical dimension of self-interest, asserting that contrary to popular belief, selfishness can and should be viewed as a virtue rather than a vice. Through a critical lens, Rand challenges altruism, arguing that genuine morality must be based on the pursuit of one’s own happiness and well-being, thus framing selfishness as a necessary condition for rational living and societal prosperity. The essays provide both theoretical foundations and practical applications of her ideas, making a compelling case for the moral and political implications of embracing one’s own interests. — Quick view Add to Cart

There is something epic—almost mythic—about this sparsely beautiful novel by Willa Cather, though the story it tells is that of a single human life lived quietly in the silence of the Southwestern desert. In 1851, Father Jean Marie Latour arrives in New Mexico to serve as Apostolic Vicar, entering a vast land of red hills and winding arroyos—American by law, yet deeply Mexican and Indigenous in custom and belief. Over the course of nearly forty years, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows: gently, while contending with an unforgiving landscape, wayward and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own profound loneliness. From these events, Cather offers an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended. — Quick view Add to Cart
