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.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu.

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

We're used to thinking about the self as an independent entity, something that we either have or are. In The Ego Tunnel, philosopher Thomas Metzinger claims otherwise: No such thing as a self exists. The conscious self is the content of a model created by our brain - an internal image, but one we cannot experience as an image. Everything we experience is "a virtual self in a virtual reality." But if the self is not "real," why and how did it evolve? How does the brain construct it?

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

◆「煩悩」は悪いことか？
みなさん「煩悩と聞いてどんなイメージを持ちますか？」

「もっともっとお金を稼ぎたい」
「旨いメシをたらふく食いたい」

これらは立派な煩悩です。
「○○したい」というのはすべて煩悩。

ほかにも
怒り、妬み、うぬぼれ、などなど
数にして「108」あると言われています。

煩悩はどうやら悪いことのようです。
だから、書店では「煩悩を消す方法」を説いた書籍を
よく見かけます。

「煩悩を消す」ことができるのでしょうか？

結論から言って・・・無理です。
なぜならば、煩悩を消すイコール悟りを開くこと。
ハッキリ言えば、「死ぬこと」でしか
煩悩からは解放されません。


●ある老人ホームでのエピソード。

「屋上で草花を楽しめるようにと、プランターに苗を植えたのですが
どなたも関心を示さないんですよ」

朝夕に水をやって素敵な花を咲かせる。
あるいは野菜を育てて収穫する。

「花を咲かせたい」「収穫を楽しみたい」
という原動力は「欲」です。
煩悩です。
