Philosophy
A number of etexts of famous philosophers.
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/5883/philosophy/philosophy.html

Extractions: Philosophy originated from two greek words (please excuse possibly wrong spelling but I'm a Czech and I know only the Czech transcriptions of the words...) "philein" and "sophia" (really, if my English spellings of these two Greek words aren't right, let me know). Both words put together mean something like "love to the wisdom" and I must say that it has only a little to do with looking for the sense of life.

http://www.hegel.net/

Extractions: Homepage Life Works Phenomenology ... Sitemap "Hegel is one of those thinkers just about all educated people think they know something about. His philosophy was the forerunner to Karl Marx's theory of history, but unlike Marx, who was a materialist, Hegel was an idealist in the sense that he thought that reality was ultimately spiritual, and that it developed according to the process of thesis/antithesis/synthesis. Hegel also glorified the Prussian state, claiming that it was God's work, was perfect, and was the culmination of all human history. Just about everything in the previous paragraph is false except for the first sentence. What is even more striking is that it is all clearly and demonstrably wrong, has been known to be wrong in scholarly circles for a long time now, and still appears in almost all short histories of thought or brief encyclopedia entries about Hegel."

Hume
A brief discussion of the life and works of David Hume, with links to electronic texts and additional information.
http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/hume.htm

Extractions: Internet Sources Soon after completing his studies at Edinburgh, Scottish philosopher David Hume began writing his comprehensive statement of the views he believed would contribute to philosophy no less than Newton's had to science. But the public reception for the three books of his magisterial Treatise of Human Nature (1739) was less than cordial, and Hume abandoned his hopes of a philosophical career in order to support his family as a librarian, historian, diplomat, and political essayist, a course of action he described in the autobiographical My Own Life (1776). Hume's Essays Moral and Political (1741-1742) found some success, and the multi-volume History of England (1754-1762) finally secured the modest livelihood for which he had hoped. Although he spent most of his life trying to produce more effective statements of his philosophical views, he did not live to see the firm establishment of his reputation by the criticisms of Kant and much later appreciation of the logical positivists The central themes of Book I of the Treatise receive a somewhat more accessible treatment in An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (1748), a more popular summary of Hume's

Machiavelli
A discussion of the life and works of Machiavelli, with links to electronic texts and additional information.
http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/macv.htm

Extractions: Internet Sources Machiavelli originally wrote Principe The Prince ) (1513) in hopes of securing the favor of the ruling Medici family, and he deliberately made its claims provocative. The Prince is an intensely practical guide to the exercise of raw political power over a Renaissance principality. Allowing for the unpredictable influence of fortune, Machiavelli argued that it is primarily the character or vitality or skill of the individual leader that determines the success of any state. The book surveys various bold means of acquiring and maintaining the principality and evaluates each of them solely by reference to its likelihood of augmenting the glory of the prince while serving the public interest. It is this focus on practical success by any means, even at the expense of traditional moral values , that earned Machiavelli's scheme a reputation for ruthlessness, deception, and cruelty. His Dell'arte della guerra The Art of War explains in detail effective procedures for the acquisition, maintenance, and use of a military force. Even in his more leisurely reflections on the political process, Machiavelli often wrote in a similar vein. The Discorsi sopra la prima Deca di Tito Livio Discourses on Livy ) (1531) review the history of the Roman republic, with greater emphasis on the role of fortune and a clear
