The Absent Qualia Thought Experiment by Paul Kell explores one of the most unsettling questions in philosophy: can a being act fully conscious yet feel nothing inside? This puzzle, known as the absent qualia problem, challenges our understanding of mind, science, and identity. At its heart is the idea of the “hollow machine,” a being that smiles, speaks, and remembers but lacks the inner glow of experience. The question forces us to confront whether consciousness can ever be reduced to function alone or if something vital is missing.

This short, smart book tells you everything you need to know about "nothing". What remains when you take all the matter away? Can empty space - "nothing" - exist? To answer these questions, eminent scientist Frank Close takes us on a lively and accessible journey that ranges from ancient ideas and cultural superstitions to the frontiers of current research, illuminating the story of how scientists have explored the void and the rich discoveries they have made there.

Carl Gustav Jung was the 20th century's greatest articulator of the primacy of mind in nature, a view whose origins vanish behind the mists of time. The present book scrutinizes Jung's work to distil and reveal that extraordinary, hidden metaphysical treasure: For Jung, mind and world are one and the same entity; reality is fundamentally experiential, not material; the psyche builds and maintains its body, not the other way around; and the ultimate meaning of our sacrificial lives is to serve God by providing a reflecting mirror to God's own instinctive mentation.

Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: Observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria.

"Il y a plus de quinze ans, une phrase m'est venue, comme malgré moi, revenue, plutôt, singulière, singulièrement brève, presque muette : il y a là cendre. Là s'écrivait avec un accent grave : là, il y a cendre. Il y a, là, cendre. Mais l'accent, s'il se lit à l'œil, ne s'entend pas : il y a là cendre. À l'écoute, l'article défini, la, risque d'effacer le lieu, la mention ou la mémoire du lieu, l'adverbe là... Mais à la lecture muette, c'est l'inverse, là efface la, la s'efface : lui-même, elle-même, deux fois plutôt qu'une."

Must the sins of America's past poison its hope for the future? Lately the American Left, withdrawing into the ivied halls of academe to rue the nation's shame, has answered "yes" in both word and deed. In Achieving Our Country, one of America's foremost philosophers challenges this lost generation of the Left to understand the role it might play in the great tradition of democratic intellectual labor that started with writers like Walt Whitman and John Dewey.

Critical thinking is regularly cited as an essential 21st century skill, the key to success in school and work. Given our propensity to believe fake news, draw incorrect conclusions, and make decisions based on emotion rather than reason, it might even be said that critical thinking is vital to the survival of a democratic society. But what, exactly, is critical thinking? Haber describes the term's origins in such disciplines as philosophy, psychology, and science.

If you follow the headlines, the world in the 21st century appears to be sinking into chaos, hatred and irrationality. Yet, as Steven Pinker shows, if you follow the trendlines, you discover that our lives have become longer, healthier, safer and more prosperous - not just in the West but worldwide. Such progress is no accident: it's the gift of a coherent value system that many of us embrace without even realising it. These are the values of the Enlightenment: of reason, science, humanism and progress.
