The University Press sometimes calling itself the "Watford University Press" was a project of Rowland de Villiers a freethought and free-speech activist and publisher of controversial literature who has been described by one historian as "a somewhat shady character at best" see Odin Dekkers J.M. Robertson. Lon:1998. Villiers was most famously the British publisher of Havelock Ellis's treatise on sexual inversion; he was arrested on obscenity charges in 1901 and died in police custody. "G. Astor Singer" appears to have been a Villiers pseudonym and we would not be entirely surprised if "Frederick Raymond Coulson" was an alias as well. The University Press, Ltd unknown books

2018br. Quale è il ruolo della filosofia in una società pervasa dalla tecnologia? Che cosa fa oggi un filosofo in un mondo dominato dalle conoscenze scientifiche? Immaginiamo che Democrito torni fra noi e, ormai anziano e malato, racconti il suo pensiero alla figlia. Gli episodi della sua vita quotidiana di uomo del XXI secolo sarebbero allora occasioni di riflessione, in cui le scienze e la filosofia dialogano fecondandosi reciprocamente. Galileo, Darwin e Einstein hanno mostrato che viviamo alla periferia dell'universo ma, a differenza degli altri esseri viventi a noi noti, abbiamo la capacità di meditare sulla nostra posizione nel cosmo. Il neo-Democrito ci guiderà in questi pensieri.

In Three Partitions with their several Sections Members and Subsections Philosophically Medicinally Historically Opened and Cut Up is a book by Robert Burton first published in 1621.On its surface the book is presented as a medical textbook in which Burton applies his vast and varied learning in the scholastic manner to the subject of melancholia which includes although it is not limited to what is now termed clinical depression. Although presented as a medical text The Anatomy of Melancholy is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text and Burton addresses far more than his stated subject.
