In this book the philosopher Jonathan Westphal examines the mind-body problem in detail, laying out the reasoning behind the solutions that have been offered in the past and presenting his own proposal. The sharp focus on the mind-body problem, a problem that is not about the self or consciousness or the soul or anything other than the mind and the body, helps clarify both problem and solutions. Westphal outlines the history of the mind-body problem, beginning with Descartes.

On Inhumanity is bracing and vital listen in a world lurching towards authoritarian political regimes, resurgent white nationalism, refugee crises that breed nativist hostility, and fast-spreading racist rhetoric. The book will open your eyes to the pervasive dangers of dehumanization and the prejudices that can too easily take root within us, and resist them before they spread into the wider world.

Mit Also sprach Zarathustra schuf Friedrich Nietzsche eines der einflussreichsten Werke der modernen Philosophie. In Form poetischer Reden seines fiktiven Propheten Zarathustra entfaltet Nietzsche eine kraftvolle Vision des Menschen – über Moral, Wahrheit, Selbstüberwindung und die ewige Wiederkunft. Das Werk verbindet tiefsinnige Philosophie mit literarischer Sprache und Symbolkraft. Es fordert dazu auf, alte Werte zu hinterfragen, sich selbst zu überwinden und schöpferisch neue Wege zu gehen.

A new edition of a classic work that originated the "embodied cognition" movement and was one of the first to link science and Buddhist practices.

Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm.

To Have or to Be? is one of the seminal books of the second half of the 20th century. Fromm's thesis is that two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the having mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the being mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity.

Written more than 25 centuries ago, the Diamond Sutra is the first text to record the Buddha's own teachings, and it remains one of the most popular. Osho comments in a series of talks on these sutras and brings Buddha's teachings into the 21st century. One day, after the Buddha finishes his daily walk to collect alms, a senior monk steps forth to ask how he can best help humanity. Buddha responds, and thus begins a dialogue regarding the nature of perception.

At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes' still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3,000 years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion - and indeed our future.

In this lively and entertaining introduction to the philosophy of mind, Edward Feser explores the questions central to the discipline, and relates them not only to the human brain and its capacity for thought, but also to the increasing sophistication of artificial intelligence. This in-depth primer is an account of all the most important and significant attempts that have been made to answer the riddles of consciousness and thought.

As we live our lives, we repeatedly make decisions that shape our future circumstances and affect the sort of person we will be. When choosing whether to start a family, or deciding on a career, we often think we can assess the options by imagining what different experiences would be like for us. L. A. Paul argues that, for choices involving dramatically new experiences, we are confronted by the brute fact that we can know very little about our subjective futures. This has serious implications for our decisions.

Your memories aren't stored recordings. They're programs that recompile themselves every time you run them. Your sense of self isn't a permanent soul. It's a subroutine generating the illusion of continuity. And here's the disturbing part: the code is buggy. Depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, these aren't character flaws. They're software errors. Patterns that loop without exit conditions. Faulty error handling. Memory leaks. Code that made sense once but hasn't been updated. But if consciousness is programming, then bugs can be fixed. Performance can be optimized.
