Audiokniha představuje několik let uvažování o společnosti, přírodě a nás samých. První část se týká naší současné situace, která se ocitá na hraně mezi hněvem a soucitem, mezi ničením a tvorbou. Na změnu jsme málo psychologicky připraveni, a proto je nutné si vybudovat nějakou formu aktivní obrany. Dále se však ukáže, že pouhá sebeobrana nestačí, protože je také nutné být tvořivý.

An entertaining and enlightening anthology of classical Greek and Roman writings on animals—and our vital relationships with them.

We tend to think about bad feelings—feelings like anger, envy, spite, and contempt—as the weeds in life's garden. But this isn't quite right, according to philosopher Krista K. Thomason. Bad feelings are the worms, not the weeds. They're just below the surface, and we like to pretend they aren't there, but they serve an important purpose. Thomason draws on insights from the history of philosophy to show what we've gotten wrong about bad feelings and to show listeners how we can live better with them.

Vor 700 Jahren kam die unverschämte Idee auf, dass der Mensch im Kern gut und frei ist und dass er auf der Suche nach Glück allein mit dem Kompass der Vernunft durch stürmische Zeiten steuern kann. Sarah Bakewell macht mit den italienischen Humanisten bekannt, die diese Idee in die Welt setzten, und beschreibt, wie inspirierend deren Neugierde, Forschergeist und Optimismus gewirkt haben, trotz aller Anfeindungen durch Theologen und Tyrannen.

The existence of free will - our ability to choose between one course of action and another, to determine our own destiny - is a foundation stone of Western society, dictating our notions of fairness and justice, punishment and reward, our very identity as individuals and humans. But as world-renowned scientist Robert Sapolsky shows, there is not a shred of evidence to suggest that free will exists, even while everything in our biology leads us to believe that it does.

"Jak se stal z člověka staršího člověk moderní? Co ho činí moderním?" Tak se ptá Masaryk ve svém filozofickém díle, v němž uvažuje o duchovní krizi člověka v sekularizovaném světě. Krize moderního člověka je pro Masaryka krizí celého duchovního života. Tato krize se projevuje politicky, mravně, filozoficky i společensky – avšak jejím ohniskem byla podle Masaryka krize náboženská, kdy se moderní člověk odvrátil od vnějšího světa a začal se spoléhat jen na vlastní síly. V tomto spisu se Masaryk dotýká i sklonu k sebevraždám v moderní době a zamýšlí se nad jejich příčinami.

Today, we are caught in a shame spiral—a vortex of mutual shaming that pervades everything from politics to social media. We are shamed for our looks, our culture, our ethnicity, our sexuality, our poverty, our wrongdoings, our politics. But what is the point of all this shaming and countershaming? Does it work? And if so, for whom? In Shame, David Keen explores the function of modern shaming, paying particular attention to how shame is instrumentalized and weaponized.

« Il est bien tard pour passer à l’action. Mais supposons qu’il nous reste dix années pour enfin affronter le monde tel qu’il est devenu, à savoir de moins en moins favorable à nos existences, et à celles des autres êtres vivants. Dix ans pour un virage politique très serré. Dix ans pour nous débarrasser de nos lubies productivistes et consuméristes. Dix ans pour apprendre à régénérer une nature en voie de destruction accélérée.»

Uma filosofia politicamente incorreta é o novo título de Luiz Felipe Pondé para o Guia politicamente incorreto da filosofia, lançado em 2012. Com texto revisitado pelo autor e uma nova introdução, a obra questiona se o pensamento politicamente correto pode fazer mal. De acordo com Pondé, sim. “Antes de tudo, ele nos faz covardes. À medida que ele se torna uma ferramenta jurídica e de linchamento público nas redes sociais, ele começa a devastar a virtude da coragem, sem a qual ninguém diz, pensa ou faz nada que tenha valor a não ser aquilo que for ‘correto’.”

Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) was already an established figure in the fields of philosophy, biology, sociology, anthropology and with an established interest in evolution, when Darwin produced his ground-breaking On the Origin of the Species (1859). But Spencer viewed evolution in wider terms –...

Over the past decades, a healthy appreciation for the culture and heritage of minorities has transformed into an obsession with group identity in all its forms. A new ideology - which Yascha Mounk terms the 'identity synthesis' - seeks to put each citizen's matrix of identities at the heart of social, cultural and political life. This, he argues, is The Identity Trap. Mounk traces the intellectual origin of these ideas. He tells the story of how they were able to win tremendous power over the past decade.

Sages from Cicero to Oprah have told us that forgiveness requires us to let go of negative emotions and that it has a unique power to heal our wounds. In Failures of Forgiveness, Myisha Cherry argues that these beliefs couldn’t be more wrong—and that the ways we think about and use forgiveness, personally and as a society, can often do more harm than good. She presents a new and healthier understanding of forgiveness—one that will give us a better chance to recover from wrongdoing and move toward “radical repair.”

Dieses Buch ist der Aufruf zu einer neuen Klarheit des Denkens. Denn die Probleme von morgen können wir nicht mit der Denkweise und Philosophie von gestern bekämpfen. Wenn die wichtigsten politischen und philosophischen Errungenschaften der Aufklärung - Demokratie, Menschenrechte, evidenzbasiertes Denken - überleben sollen, müssen wir eine Lebensweise und ein Verständnis der Welt entwickeln, die dem menschlichen Wohlergehen verpflichtet sind und von planetarischer Gerechtigkeit getragen werden.

Credevamo di essere onnipotenti e sbagliavamo. Credevamo di aver capito tutto e non avevamo capito niente. Gli anni della pandemia hanno costituito un grande reset, per tante certezze e tante convinzioni, e il risultato è un trauma collettivo di cui oggi viviamo le conseguenze: una situazione di gravissimo contrasto sociale, patologie psicologiche diffuse in forme acute soprattutto tra i giovani, un'incertezza generale sul futuro. Dobbiamo ritrovare un filo di Arianna in ciò che abbiamo vissuto e usarlo per ricucire la trama della nostra convivenza, se vogliamo sopravvivere come specie.
