Otto Weininger Otto Weininger (] ; 3 April 1880 – 4 October 1903) was an Austrian philosopher. In 1903, he published the book "Geschlecht und Charakter" ("Sex and Character"), which gained popularity after his suicide at the age of 23. Some people find Weininger's ideas to be misogynistic and antisemitic, while others find them to be extremely perceptive and realistic. Parts of his rhetoric were used by the Nazi regime (while at the same time denouncing him) - though this arguably cannot be held against him. Despite all criticisms Weininger was held to be a great genius by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and the writer August Strindberg (see discussion below).

As a Man Thinketh As a Man Thinketh is a literary essay and book by James Allen, published in 1903. It was described by Allen as "... [dealing] with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues. I have tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. The price of the book is only one shilling, and it can be carried in the pocket." It was also described by Allen as "A book that will help you to help yourself", "A pocket companion for thoughtful people", and "A book on the power and right application of thought."

Totem and Taboo Totem and Taboo: Resemblances Between the Mental Lives of Savages and Neurotics, or Totem and Taboo: Some Points of Agreement between the Mental Lives of Savages and Neurotics, (German: "Totem und Tabu: Einige Übereinstimmungen im Seelenleben der Wilden und der Neurotiker" ) is a 1913 book by Sigmund Freud, in which the author applies psychoanalysis to the fields of archaeology, anthropology, and the study of religion. It is a collection of four essays inspired by the work of Wilhelm Wundt and Carl Jung and first published in the journal "Imago" (1912–13): "The Horror of Incest", "Taboo and Emotional Ambivalence", "Animism, Magic and the Omnipotence of Thoughts", and "The Return of Totemism in Childhood". Though "Totem and Taboo" has been seen as one of the classics of anthropology, comparable to Edward Burnett Tylor's "Primitive Culture" (1871) and Sir James George Frazer's "The Golden Bough" (1890), the work is now considered discredited by anthropologists. The cultural anthropologist Alfred L. Kroeber was an early critic of "Totem and Taboo", publishing a critique of the work in 1920. Some authors have seen redeeming value in the work.
