This time Baggini applies his philosophical scalpel to famous sayings, proverbs and pieces of homespun wisdom. Should you really do as the Romans do when in Rome and practice what you preach?

La course à la sexualité est-elle vraiment émancipatrice ? De la "révolution sexuelle" amorcée en Mai 68, aux mouvements sex-positifs actuels, on nous promet la possibilité pour toustes de jouir et de désirer sans entraves.

En cherchant à optimiser le fonctionnement des corps et du désir, sommes-nous entré·es dans l'ère de l'aliénation sexuelle ?

A pesar de que Jodorowsky se inició en la meditación y el estudio zen de la mano del maestro japonés Ejo Takata, la aplicación de estos conocimientos en la vida la aprendió de un reducido grupo de mujeres ("magas") que nada tenían que ver con el budismo. En este libro nos habla de la escritora y pintora surrealista Leonora Carrington; de Doña Magdalena, que le enseñó el masaje iniciático; de la poderosa actriz mexicana la Tigresa; y de Reyna D'Assia, hija del ocultista G.I. Gurdjieff. Pero en la vida del autor también hubo otras magas...

What was a Buddhist monk doing at the 2014 World Economic Forum in Davos lecturing the world's leaders on mindfulness? Why do many successful corporations have a chief happiness officer?

This fascinating book charts the relationship between Mark Rowlands, a rootless philosopher, and Brenin, his extraordinarily well-travelled wolf. More than just an exotic pet, Brenin exerted an immense influence on Rowlands as both a person and, strangely enough, as a philosopher, leading him to reevaluate his attitude toward love, happiness, nature, and death.

Returning Marx to the Victorian confines of the 19th century, Jonathan Sperber, one of the United States' leading European historians, challenges many of our misconceptions of this political firebrand turned London journalist. In this deeply humanizing portrait, Marx no longer is the Olympian soothsayer, divining the dialectical imperatives of human history, but a scholar-activist whose revolutionary Weltanschauung was closer to Robespierre's than to those of 20th-century Marxists.

This lucid overview of the Buddhist path takes the perspective of the three "vehicles" of Tibetan Buddhism: the Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. While these vehicles are usually presented as a historical development, they are here equated with the attitudes that individuals bring to their Buddhist practice. Basic to them all, however, is the need to understand our own immediate condition. The primary tool for achieving this is meditation, and The Essence of Buddhism serves as a handbook for the various meditative approaches of Buddhist practice.

The world of yoga is astonishingly rich in its array of schools and practices. Yet, as diverse as they seem, they share a common aim: the discovery of the essence of existence that can be found at the core of our being, and the liberation that comes from that discovery. With this worthy goal in mind, Richard Freeman presents an enlightening overview of the many teachings, practices, and scriptures that serve as the basis for all the schools of yoga - hatha, bhakti, jnana, karma, tantra, and others.

"A maioria das pessoas parece ter, pelo menos, uma pseudociência de estimação. Ficaremos satisfeitos, nestes casos, em plantar no mínimo uma semente de ceticismo que leve o leitor a considerar: será?” “Energias curativas, bolinhas de açúcar mágicas, terapias que invocam os antepassados e maluquices inventadas sobre o poder avassalador dos desejos inconscientes operam, todas, sob ‘leis de tapete voador’.

Zen was uniquely suited to the Samurai of Japan. The high moral principles of Buddhism, when adopted and adapted by the Japanese warriors who became the Samurai, created an austere philosophy of singular beauty and depth. Its characteristic requirements of strict control over body and mind was exemplified by ancient warrior monks whose serene countenance, even in the face of certain death, made them much admired even by their foes.

What is economic growth? And why, historically, has it occurred in only a few places? Previous efforts to answer these questions have focused on institutions, geography, finances, and psychology. But according to MIT's anti-disciplinarian César Hidalgo, understanding the nature of economic growth demands transcending the social sciences and including the natural sciences of information, networks, and complexity. To understand the growth of economies, Hidalgo argues, we first need to understand the growth of order.

Todo el mundo está de acuerdo en reconocer que la civilización occidental está en crisis: crisis de valores, crisis de recursos, crisis, en suma, de un sistema que parece abocado irremisiblemente a su disolución. El diagnóstico de René Guénon, principal representante de las doctrinas esotéricas en el siglo XX, se singulariza respecto a las numerosas interpretaciones que se han dado del fenómeno.

Artur da Távola considerava-se um “homem poli” – alguém que tinha numerosos interesses. Amava o rádio e a televisão, a política, os esportes e a música. Foi comunicador, escritor e deputado constituinte, observador arguto de tudo, homem atento aos sentimentos e afetos. Na crônica, encontrou terreno fértil para tratar dos tantos temas que o fascinavam.

El célebre naturalista francés Buffon señaló en su día que «el discurso de la naturaleza no es más que la naturaleza transformada en discurso». María Negroni se propone rastrear las representaciones de la naturaleza—o sumergirse en la naturaleza escrita—en las que la unión de lo visible con lo enunciable produce un conjunto dotado de sentido.
