人が人にさわる／ふれるとき、そこにはどんな交流が生まれるのか。介助、子育て、教育、性愛、看取りなど、さまざまな関わりの場面でコミュニケーションは単なる情報伝達の領域を超えて相互的に豊かに深まる。

"Les Pensées", apologie d'une religion chrétienne repensée au XVIIe siècle à Port-Royal, est l'œuvre ultime de Pascal. Elles se proposent de convaincre le libertin comme le croyant d'entrer plus avant dans le mystère de Jésus. A cette fin, sont mises en œuvres plusieurs stratégies rhétoriques qui sont comme autant de moyens de toucher les hommes dans leur diversité.

Over six billion people have been lied to by religion, causing for some, mental impairment that endangers us all by its dogmatic effect. Previous criticisms of religion leverage narrower fields of evidence. I prosecute this wicked lie using expert witnesses from all necessary fields such as historicity, neuroscience, microbiology, astronomy, and more, providing the most comprehensive case against religion ever. The grandest "CSI-like" investigation of all time is consulted for my case in this trial by you, the jury. Cast your verdict online in an Amazon review. 

The Bhagavad Gita, or The Gita, is an ancient text containing essential truths about the human mind. Long before brain activity could be detected in any form or way, the teachers of Bhagavad Gita have found those inconvenient truths about our minds - and showed the Hindu practitioners how to overcome those obstacles  - produced by their very own minds. In this book, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Bhagavad Gita, reveal how to use it in your modern day-to-day life, and transform who you are from the core.

Sound reasoning is the basis of winning at argument. Logical fallacies undermine arguments. They are a source of enduring fascination and have been studied for at least two-and-a-half millennia. Knowledge of them is useful, both to avoid those used inadvertently by others and even to use a few with intent to deceive.

Even after Greek power waned, the Romans borrowed Greek culture, so it should come as little surprise that various Greeks continued to be influential in antiquity. In fact, if people in the third century CE were asked which religious or philosophical figure from the first century CE was most likely to found or inspire a global religion that would attract millions of followers and last for centuries, they would not have answered Jesus of Nazareth.

It is nearly impossible to define Zen. This is because it is both a discipline we practice in order to realize the joy of living and also part of our true nature that we use to express ourselves every moment of our lives. The practice of Zen meditation and the following of Zen principles is meant to get rid of the confusion in our mind and enable us to experience this ultimate reality.

An urgent and deeply felt call to face our complicity in the Earth’s destruction. In the shadow of an escalating eco-crisis - a looming catastrophe that will dwarf the fallout from COVID-19 - how can we explain our society’s failure to act? What will we tell future generations? Are we paralyzed because the problem is so vast in scope, or are there deeper reasons for the widespread passivity? Nathaniel Popkin explores the moral, social, and psychological dimensions of the crisis, outlining a path to a future spring. 

De Griekse historicus Herodotus (circa 480-430 v.Chr.) heeft veel eretitels gekregen. In de oudheid stond hij al bekend als ‘vader der geschiedenis’ en tegenwoordig noemt men hem eerder ‘vader der journalistiek’ en ‘eerste wereldreiziger’. Zijn indrukwekkende boek Historiën is grensverleggend en letterlijk grensoverschrijdend geweest. In deze hoorcolleges bespreekt classicus en Byzantinoloog Hein van Dolen de methode van Herodotus, zijn bronnen en zijn eigen onderzoekingen, waarbij Herodotus de gewoonten en eigenaardigheden van vreemde volkeren beschreef.

Met de verkiezing van Donald Trump tot president van de V.S. staat het verschil tussen feit en fictie onder druk en daarmee ook de democratie zelf. Kunnen we voor onze tijd iets leren van belangrijke filosofische critici van het nazisme en totalitarisme? Zowel Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) als Karl Popper (1902-1994) waren van Joodse afkomst en vluchtten voor Hitler. Beiden probeerden de ideologische wortels van het nazitijdperk te doorgronden. Ook formuleerden ze normen waaraan een open en democratische samenleving moet voldoen.

"The Art of War" may be an old book, but there is a reason why it is still considered a must-read for today's business warriors. Sun Tzu uses short, powerful sentences to drive home his point - and his observations on military strategy are as impressive today as they were in the past!

"Der Einzige und sein Eigentum" ist nicht nur Max Stirners (1806 - 1856) Hauptwerk, es ist quasi sein einziges. Und doch liefert es einen unschätzbaren Debattenbeitrag im Diskurs "Was ist der Mensch", auf den sich alle wichtigen nachfolgenden Philosophen bezogen. Ein faszinierendes Dokument seiner Zeit!

Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) war ein französischer Universalgelehrter, der sowohl in den Bereichen der Mathematik als auch der Philosophie während seines kurzen Lebens eine Schaffensfreude an den Tag legte, die kaum glaublich scheint. In seinen "Gedanken" (hier eine Auswahl) bietet er Einblicke in seine Gedankenwelt bezüglich Religion, Philosophie und anderen Themen.

Den Fortschritt durch rationales Denken zu fördern - das forderte die Aufklärung. Der erste, der eine Definition der Aufklärung lieferte, war Immanuel Kant in seinem berühmten Essay aus dem Jahre 1784.

Was ist Wahrheit? Und was Lüge? Welche Rolle spielt die Sprache hierbei? Nur einmal hat sich Friedrich Nietzsche dem Thema der Sprache zugewandt - in diesem Essay aus dem Jahr 1873.

The object of these lectures is to place before you an idea of the Christ-Event in so far as it is connected with the historical appearance of the Christ in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. So many questions of the spiritual life are bound up with this subject that the choice of it will enable us to make a wide survey of the realm of Spiritual Science and its mission, and to discuss the significance of the Anthroposophical Movement for the spiritual life of the present time.

Entertaining and insightful, David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion and The Natural History of Religion are considered to be among the most important philosophical works on the topic of religion. Each investigates the formation and consequences of religious belief.
