Book Description
This is the full color paperback edition of the fourth book from Sith Academy, a Dark Side school founded by the first real Sith Order on this planet. In this book we discuss the key ideas and thinkers that have guided our path to the Dark Side. It is based on years of experience, research, reflections and revelations as power-seekers and Dark Lords. We publish these thoughts for Acolytes on the path to Sith Mastery, so they may learn of philosophies not taught in any mundane, Light Side school, and in so doing arm themselves with explosive thought-bombs and gain unlimited intellectual power. Dark Side Philosophy contains our philosophies of power, politics, evil, war, death, magick, metaphysics, empire, history, the cosmos, and more. It discusses the nature of the Dark Side, the Force and the philosophy of Sithism. It also contains the nine Challenges that the Sith Acolyte must complete to advance to the next level of Sith training. Every Dark Lord must must develop a philosophy that can withstand any attack and become a mighty weapon of conquest. This book is written to give the Sith Acolyte the tools to do just that. Are you ready to begin? --The Dark Lords, Imperial Year 8, Month 1 (September 2018)

Book Description
Philosophy is a discipline that makes no observations, conducts no experiments, and needs no input from experience. It is an armchair subject, requiring only thought. Yet that thought can advance knowledge in unexpected directions, not only through the discovery of new facts but also through the enhancement of what we already know. Philosophy can clarify our vision of the world and provide exciting ways to interpret it. Of course, philosophy's unified purpose hasn't kept the discipline from splintering into warring camps. Departments all over the world are divided among analytical and continental schools, Heidegger, Hegel, and other major thinkers, challenging the growth of the discipline and obscuring its relevance and intent. Having spent decades teaching in American, Asian, African, and European universities, Michael Dummett has felt firsthand the fractured state of contemporary practice and the urgent need for reconciliation. Setting forth a proposal for renewal and reengagement, Dummett begins with the nature of philosophical inquiry as it has developed for centuries, especially its exceptional openness and perspective-which has, ironically, led to our present crisis. He discusses philosophy in relation to science, religion, morality, language, and meaning and recommends avenues for healing around a renewed investigation of mind, language, and thought. Employing his trademark frankness and accessibility, Dummett asks philosophers to resolve theoretical difference and reclaim the vital work of their practice.

Book Description
There exists alongside the celebration of Hume's work for its philosophical brilliance and elegance of style considerable disagreement over the meaning of Hume's most famous doctrines, the precise nature of his philosophical greatness, and the value of his contributions for contemporary philosophy. A series of interpretive difficulties has led some to accuse the work of contradiction and disunity. In this vigorous new study, Don Garrett takes up the charges against Hume, demonstrates their weakness, and solves a number of well-known interpretive puzzles that have long stood in the way of a complete understanding and accurate assessment of Hume's philosophy.
