The modern materialist approach to life has conspicuously failed to explain such central mind-related features of our world as consciousness, intentionality, meaning, and value. This failure to account for something so integral to nature as mind, argues philosopher Thomas Nagel, is a major problem, threatening to unravel the entire naturalistic world picture, extending to biology, evolutionary theory, and cosmology. Since minds are features of biological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incomplete.

Coming home from the war in Iraq, US Army private Roy Scranton thought he'd left the world of strife behind.

Che cos'è la coscienza? È qualcosa di fisico? E che cos'è la realtà? È qualcosa di esterno, oggettivo, che possiamo davvero conoscere? E come? Dall'antichità a oggi, queste domande perturbanti non hanno smesso di far discutere filosofi e scienziati. Ma le loro risposte si sono sempre basate sul dualismo irriducibile tra mente e realtà, apparenza e mondo fisico, che ha scavato un fossato tra l'uomo e gli oggetti che lo circondano. Così la coscienza umana è diventata un mistero inafferrabile, un fenomeno interiore e soggettivo, e la natura un dato esteriore ed estraneo.

Tutti siamo convinti di sapere che cosa sia, salvo poi renderci conto, quando proviamo a spiegarla, che si tratta di una realtà ancora misteriosa: che cos'è l'emozione? Come possiamo sapere che una persona sta sperimentando una determinata emozione? Come possiamo comunicare le emozioni agli altri? Queste domande, che ognuno di noi si pone più o meno consapevolmente ogni giorno, sono le stesse che animano la riflessione filosofica sul tema sin dall'antichità. Nell'audiolibro, alcune delle più significative risposte offerte a tali interrogativi, da Platone alle neuroscienze.

Wir tanzen im Club, bei Hochzeiten, auf WG-Partys; gehen ins Ballett, in die Oper, zum Modernen Tanz. Tanzen in all seiner Vielfältigkeit ist immer verbunden mit Lebendigkeit, manchmal sogar mit Ekstase und dem Dionysischem.

Sie erkunden das Politische des Tanzens auf der Straße, nehmen Friedrich Nietzsche mit in den Club oder laden Judith Butler auf Tanzperformances ein und fragen, was aus dem alten Anspruch des Tanzes, Avantgarde zu sein, heute geworden ist.
