QAQAE Philosophy & Ethics Library – Digital Collection of 94 Public Domain Books

This catalogue gathers 94 public-domain works in philosophy and ethics, each linked to its Project Gutenberg source. The collection spans rationalism, mysticism, spiritualism, and political thought, with authors from Valmiki to Rudolf Steiner. Four overlapping categories—Ethics, Logic, Metaphysics, and Political Philosophy—serve as browsing aids rather than strict classifications. Works frequently touch on religious life, future life, and occultism, offering a mix of foundational and less-known texts. Three reading paths provide practical entry points: one on political foundations, one on war and peace, and one on spiritual and philosophical perspectives. Each book record includes bibliographic details, keywords, a reader description, and a catalogue note to help you navigate.
