Friedrich Nietzsche - 1886

Krishna Charitra


Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay - 1886
    by Alo ShomeKrishna Charitra is a famous Bengali classic where Bankim Chandra endeavours to discover Sri Krishna, the real person, behind centuries of myths and legends. Written in 1886, this was the first instance where the character of Krishna is studies from a pragmatic and questioning perspective. Like his novel Ananda Math, Krishna Charitra originates from Bankim Chandraís passionate feeling of patriotism. He wanted to uphold Sri Krishna as not just a mythological figure, but an ideal Indian character, whom other Indians could look up to. Sri Aurobindo says, ìBankim Chandra poured over the Bhagavad Gita and the Vedas striving to catch the deeper and sacred sense of those profound writings. To give that to his countrymen was the strenuous aim of Krishna Charitra.In this translation of Krishna Charitra, several passages of Bankimís academic discussions have been omitted, so as to make it easier for the common reader. Also deleted are the criticisms on the European people that Bankim Chandra includes in his book from time to time. Otherwise, the text strictly follows the structure and the content of the original dissertation.Born in 1945, Alo Shome graduated from Gauhati University as a merit scholar.

Basic Principles of Economic Value


Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk - 1886
    Here Eugen von Boehm-Bawerk —Mises's teacher and a huge figure in the history of thought — explains and argues for the subjective theory of value, the theory of marginal utility, and their relationship to price. His legendary patience and attention to detail is on full display. This book was originally published in German in 1886 as an elaboration on Menger — driving home points concerning value as against every non-Austrian point of view. He completely demolishes not only the labor theory of value but also the value theory that rests on claims of aggregate economic value or social worth. In so doing, he clarifies points that Menger himself hadn't entirely spelled out. The English translation by Hans Sennholz has circulated among a handful of writers since 1973 but it was never available publicly nor published.Until now.

Non-resistance Asserted: As Taught by Christ and His Apostles


Daniel Musser - 1886
    This is one of the works that Leo Tolstoy highly praised in his Kingdom of God is Within You. Much of what Musser had to say is, indeed, praiseworthy and still valid. His major themes include a complete theology of man’s relationship to God in its pristine created state, after the fall, under the Mosaic Law, and in the power of the Holy Spirit; and the related topics of God’s immutability, His commands given in, and specifically intended for, each of these four states, and the importance of being different from the rest of the world.
