Bybliotech recently published many anthologies of classical writers in a digital format that can be bought very cheaply. The many books by Josephus and Nietzsche which I bought are available on amazon for only $1.99 for each of the two anthologies.Virtually everyone realizes that there are huge benefits that can be gained by reading classical writings, especially in literature, psychology, and history. Classical books are still read today and are considered classical because a large part of society realizes that they are educational and interesting. We are very fortunate to have this series where we can purchase these books, which would have cost us much money a short time ago, for an inexpensive price. At $1.99, it pays to buy the books though the internet rather than getting them from the library. It cost more to travel to and from the library and what is borrowed from a library must be returned. In contrast, we are able to keep these books and look at them whenever we choose.Nietzsche’s books are significant because, among much more, he apparently did not believe in the existence of God. His books analyze the world from this perspective, including how people should act. A famous rabbi wrote that we can learn much from atheists; too many people sit back passively waiting for God to act. Atheists teach us, the rabbi said, that we should not rely on God; we should act.
