We feel, therefore we are. Conscious sensations ground our sense of self. They are crucial to our idea of ourselves as psychic beings: present, existent, and mattering. But is it only humans who feel this way? Do other animals? Will future machines? Weaving together intellectual adventure and cutting-edge science, Nicholas Humphrey describes in Sentience his quest for answers: from his discovery of blindsight in monkeys and his pioneering work on social intelligence to breakthroughs in the philosophy of mind.

"Hōjōki" (Pensamientos desde mi Cabaña) fue escrita alrededor del año 1212. Este ensayo es una reflexión sobre la naturaleza efímera de la vida humana y la impermanencia del mundo. Chōmei narra su propia experiencia de vivir en una cabaña aislada en las afueras de Kyoto, alejado de la sociedad y sus problemas.

'What is life?' asked the poet Shelley, and could not come up with an answer. Scientists, too, have not solved the puzzle. Yet biographers and obituarists continue to corral lives in a few columns, or a few hundred pages, aware all the time how fleeting and elusive their subject is. In Lifescapes, the acclaimed biographer and obituarist Ann Wroe reflects on a career spent pursuing life: a process, as she sees it, not of chronological narration but of trying to seize souls.

Notes on the Art of Life is Haim Shapira's version of Sei Shonagon's Pillow Book–a discursive and intensely personal collection of thoughts on life; a tribute to the importance of the here and now; the value of the moment and of paying attention to it.

Following the same principles as those of “Think and Grow Rich”, “The Master Key System” and “The Science of Getting Rich”, the Science of Being Well focuses on your attitude of mind, and the importance of thinking “health” at all times.

These voluntary functions are eating, drinking, breathing and sleeping, and if we perform these functions in a perfectly healthy way, we must have perfect health.

Es famoso el pesimismo de Schopenhauer, pero también su intachable honestidad. Para él, la filosofía tenía un fin específico: evitar que el ser humano le tema a la muerte. Estos Ensayos selectos agrupan los temas y territorios que más le interesaron: conocimiento, muerte, destino, arte.

El conocimiento, la vida, la divinidad siguen siendo constantes dentro de las preocupaciones humanas, por lo que parar un momento de la vida cotidiana y reflexionar al respecto, nunca es un desperdicio.

OM C. Parkin führt in den weiten Raum innerer Stille. "Es ist dieses Innerste, das Bewusstsein selbst, welches die Welt absorbiert, transzendiert – anstrengungslos. Es ist nichts einfacher, als loszulassen und einzukehren in dich selbst. Du kennst diesen Ort, er ist dir nicht fremd, er ist dein Zuhause. Es ist deine Seele, die dein Zuhause ist. Folge diesem Ruf, der leise ist, schweigsam, still."

Lehrreden, die der historische Buddha Siddhartha Gautama nach seiner Erleuchtung gehalten hat. Mit ihnen begann sich das «Rad der Lehre» (Dharmachakra) zu drehen. Sie stammen aus dem Mahāvagga, dem ersten und zentralen Buch der alten Pali-Schriften.

The fact that you just became conscious of me has made you more conscious than you were a moment ago.

Filozofický esej z roku 1936 spadá do posledního období literární tvorby Josefa Čapka a je počítán mezi jeho nejvýznamnější opusy díky snaze o postižení smyslu a podstaty lidské existence. Autor a jeho druhé já zde vedou živou rozpravu o podstatných setkáních na cestě životem: s tělem, duší, různými věky člověka, smrtí, přírodou, uměním. Se vzorem v postavě v Komenského Labyrintu světa a ráje srdce, líčí symbolickou cestu člověka a konečný obrat do vlastního nitra, "do domu srdce svého". Za vrcholný znak lidství pokládá autor svobodnou duši, nezatíženou malostí a strachem.

The goal of this book is not merely a study of the past. It also raises questions about the goal of human life and its amazing creative potentialities. If these achievements of ancient or recent times were possible in the conditions of isolation and hostility by the surrounding world, what even greater achievements are possible in the future? Is there something in these geniuses’ lives and works that we can apply to our present dilemmas? It’s certainly worth taking a closer look at the greatest geniuses in all of history.
