In The Blank Slate, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading experts on language and the mind, explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits, denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts.

One of the most significant books ever written by a head of state, the Meditations are a collection of philosophical thoughts by the Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 - 180 ce).

  「バタフライ・エフェクト」は、ほんの些細なことが引き金となって、歴史を変えるようなとんでもない現象を引き起こすことがある、という考え方。米国の気象学者ローレンツが1972年に行った講演「ブラジルでの蝶のはばたきがテキサスに竜巻を引き起こすか」というタイトルに由来する。 

六波羅蜜――布施、持戒、忍辱、精進、禅定、智慧は、仏教者としての土台となる戒。ただし、これを現代人が実践するのは至難の業。「戒」を守る、持戒の精神の本質は、到達不可能な目標を掲げ目指して行くところにあります。私たち「在俗」の者にとっては、「戒」とは、自分を戒めるための規範としてとらえるのが現実的です。のんびりゆったり寛容に――そんな姿勢で生きることが毎日を充実させてくれる。これが在俗仏教の醍醐味なのです。○講演者:ひろさちや-宗教評論家。本名、増原良彦。1936年、大阪府生まれ。東京大学卒業。気象大学校で教鞭を執るかたわら、「ひろさちや」のペンネームで仏教の入門書などを執筆。著書は『仏教入門』『まんだら人生論』『般若心経二六二文字の宇宙』『世逃げのすすめ』『世間も他人も気にしない』『ポケットに仏さまを』『サラリーマン劇薬人生相談』『ゆったり生きよう』『「狂い」のすすめ』『無責任のすすめ』など多数。○昭和58年10月収録○一部衣擦れなどの雑音がございますが、内容の聴取には差し支えないかと思われます。

Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason is a core text of modern philosophy. Presenting an examination of the nature of human reason, its central argument is that the way in which man perceives his environment is a direct consequence of the mind’s ability to act on this environment and convert it into something meaningful. The work brings together two opposing schools of philosophy—rationalism and empiricism—and proposes a third way, which came to be known as transcendental idealism. The work proved to be hugely influential, not least on Marx, Heidegger and Nietzsche.

In this book, Stephen Eric Bronner provides sketches of leading representatives of the critical tradition (such as George Lukács and Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse and Jurgen Habermas) as well as many of its seminal texts and empirical investigations.

Publiée en 1516, "L'Utopie" est un traité sur la meilleure forme de constitution politique, déguisé en une fiction : un récit de voyage vers l'île d'Utopie, inspiré de la récente découverte du Nouveau Monde. Dans cet éloge crypté et paradoxal de l'humanisme, sur le modèle de "La République" de Platon, Thomas More nous invite à regarder l'Ancien Monde d'un œil neuf, depuis l'île d'Utopie.

In 146 BC, Greece yielded to the military might of the Roman Republic; sixty years later, when Athens and other Greek city-states rebelled against Rome, the general Lucius Cornelius Sulla destroyed the city of Socrates and Plato, laying waste to the famous Academy where Aristotle had studied. However, the traditions of Greek cultural life would continue to flourish during the centuries of Roman rule that followed, in the lives and work of a distinguished array of philosophers, doctors, scientists, geographers, travellers and theologians.

In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. It’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed, counter the end of moral progress, and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human. If we set humanity’s course right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything to give them a world of justice, hope, and beauty.

The Happiness Hypothesis is about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations—to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing. Award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the author of The Righteous Mind, shows how a deeper understanding of the world's philosophical wisdom and its enduring maxims can enrich and even transform our lives.

Lately, the most passionate advocates of the theory of evolution seem to present it as bad news. Scientists such as Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, and Sam Harris tell us that our most intimate actions, thoughts, and values are mere byproducts of thousands of generations of mindless adaptation. We are just one species among multitudes and therefore no more significant than any other living creature. Now comes Brown University biologist Kenneth R. Miller to make the case that this view betrays a gross misunderstanding of evolution.
