Als die öffentlichen Zustände sich so verschlimmerten, dass keine Aussicht auf Herstellung der Ordnung mehr vorhanden war, soll Laotse sich zurückgezogen haben. Als er an den Grenzpass Han Gu gekommen sei, habe ihm der Grenzbeamte Yin Hi gebeten, ihm etwas Schriftliches zu hinterlassen. Darauf habe er den Toateking, bestehend aus mehr als 5000 chinesischen Zeichen, niedergeschrieben und ihm übergeben. Dann sei er nach Westen gegangen, kein Mensch weiß wohin. ... Satirischer oder düsterer Grundton unüberhörbar.

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

El filósofo Michel Eltchaninoff realiza un apasionante recorrido por la historia y las ideas de los cosmistas, un puñado de eruditos que con sus visionarias propuestas moldearon el siglo soviético: desde el leninismo, el estalinismo o la carrera espacial hasta las corrientes ultraconservadoras surgidas tras el hundimiento de la URSS y que sirven de guía a los dirigentes rusos actuales.

Ageing without Ageism? contributes to the essential and timely discussion of age, ageism, population ageing, and public policy. It demonstrates the breadth of the challenges posed by these issues by covering a wide range of policy areas: from health care to old-age support, from democratic participation to education, and from family to fiscal policy. With contributions from twenty-one authors, the discussion bridges the gap between academia and public life by putting in dialogue fresh philosophical analysis and specific new policy proposals.

È PROPRIO VERO CHE SE AMIAMO IL NOSTRO LAVORO NON LAVOREREMO MAI UN GIORNO NELLA NOSTRA VITA O SIAMO SOTTO L’EFFETTO DI UN INCANTESIMO? “Oggi sembra impossibile fare del lavoro – che è diventato una vera e propria tortura di massa – uno strumento di educazione al vivere comune. Eppure è una delle poche strade rimaste per non autodistruggerci in una manciata di anni. Ma per dare nuova dignità al lavoro, bisogna cominciare con il metterlo seriamente in discussione.” Efficienti, dinamici, creativi. Ma anche: sovraccarichi, avviliti, depressi.

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.”

You might not know it yet, but you and everyone on Earth are experimental philosophers; building our view on life, and the worlds inside and outside us. We experience, research, and discover these worlds, beginning in childhood and continuing to do so for as long as we live.

In quest'opera di Friedrich Nietzsche le idee del "superuomo" e dell'"eterno ritorno" raggiungono una forma compiuta. Dopo dieci anni di solitudine Zarathustra sente il bisogno di donare agli uomini la sua sapienza, ma il popolo distratto ride delle sue parole. Dovrà così cercarsi dei discepoli cui indirizzare i suoi discorsi. Tema dei discorsi è la ribellione alla cultura e alla morale dominanti e la visione della vita come forza indomabile e della volontà come strumento di affermazione.

Das wichtigste Buch vom Autor des Weltbestsellers „Der Schwarze Schwan" Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Wir leben in einer unsicheren Welt, und das System, das sie beherrscht, hat auf dramatische Weise vorgeführt, wie zerbrechlich es ist. Und doch haben wir nichts daraus gelernt und setzen dieser Fragilität keine „Antifragilität“ entgegen. Nassim Nicholas Taleb zeigt uns indes, wie das gehen kann. In seinem Weltbestseller „Der Schwarze Schwan“ problematisierte Taleb die zunehmende Unberechenbarkeit der Welt.

Breaking Away differs from countless other books on secession and decentralization in that it considers examples, benefits of secession, and radical decentralization in a much broader historical, geographical, and theoretical context.

Das „Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei“ wurde von Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels im Auftrag des zweiten Kongresses des „Bundes der Kommunisten“ (November /Dezember 1847) ausgearbeitet und Ende Februar 1848 in London in deutscher Sprache als Programm des Bundes veröffentlicht. Es ist die Geburtsurkunde des wissenschaftlichen Kommunismus und das erste marxistische Parteiprogramm in der internationalen Arbeiterbewegung, es markiert den Beginn der internationalen kommunistischen Bewegung.

Sette luoghi comuni. Sette bugie. Da “studia tanto e tutto andrà bene” a “se lavori come si deve presto avrai i soldi per comprare casa”, da “la politica si occuperà dei giovani” a “ormai facciamo sempre così, è troppo tardi per cambiare”: Beniamino Pagliaro racconta i problemi che le generazioni recenti si sono trovate ad affrontare, dai contratti meno tutelati a pensioni fantasma e quantomai ipotetiche, sempre con la certezza di trovarsi poi, per la prima volta in più di un secolo, più poveri dei propri genitori.

El profesor de filosofía más famoso del mundo analiza los peligros a los que se enfrenta la democracia.

Von jeher muss der Mensch seinen "Stoffwechsel mit der Natur" organisieren. Für Marx war der wichtigste Faktor dabei die Arbeit. Als Prometheus, dem Mythos zufolge, das Feuer auf die Erde brachte, kam ein weiterer entscheidender Input hinzu. Seit Hunderttausenden Jahren wird es genutzt, um Nahrung zu garen und Werkzeuge zu härten. In diesem Sinne lässt sich sagen: Alle Geschichte bedeutet die Geschichte von Applikationen des Feuers.

Did the Covid-19 lockdowns and mandates serve society’s best interests? Science alone can’t answer the question. Philosophers have important things to say about it. So do psychologists, economists, novelists, and lawyers.

Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality modern editions that are true to the original work.

Spot-on, often satirical, always insightful, contributing editor of The American Mind and mother of a brood Peachy Keenan argues that the only way we can save our families, ourselves, and the world—even California!—is by embracing our inner domestic extremists, and sweeping failed notions of third wave feminism and identity politics nonsense into the garbage can of history.

If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones! He's both a mild-mannered archaeology professor and an intrepid adventurer traversing the globe in search of lost artifacts. Whether seeking the Ark of the Covenant in Egypt, the Sankara Stones in India, the Holy Grail in Turkey, or a mysterious crystal skull in Peru, Indy's adventures never fail to delight audiences. Indiana Jones and Philosophy takes you on a whirlwind journey to investigate some of the most enduring questions about the human condition.

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.

Wait, are you you, or are you the other one? Which is the evil twin? Have you ever switched partners? Can you read each other’s mind? Twins get asked the weirdest questions by strangers, loved ones, even themselves. For Helena de Bres, a twin and philosophy professor, these questions were never far from philosophy’s most unnerving unknowns. What makes someone themself rather than someone else? Can one person be housed in two bodies? What does perfect love look like? Can we really act freely? When does wonder morph into objectification?

La guerre, pour reprendre l'expression du général Le Borgne, serait « morte à Hiroshima » il y a plus d'un demi-siècle. Et pourtant elle n'a jamais cessé. Actes terroristes, conflits israélo-palestiniens et moyen-orientaux, implosion de la Yougoslavie, pays déchirés par les factions, sans même parler des autres guerres : économiques, psychologiques, informatiques, guerres des sexes ou des générations.

В книгу вошли одни из самых известных произведений английского философа Томаса Гоббса (1588–1679) - "Основы философии", "Человеческая природа", "О свободе и необходимости" и "Левиафан". Имя Томаса Гоббса занимает почетное место не только в ряду великих философских имен его эпохи - эпохи Бэкона, Декарта, Гассенди, Паскаля, Спинозы, Локка, Лейбница, но и в мировом историко-философском процессе.

La Maternitat d’Elna descobreix un dels capítols més dramàtics, tendres i desconeguts de la nostra postguerra. Entre 1939 i 1944, la suïssa Elisabeth Eidenbenz va salvar la vida de 597 infants. Eren els fills de les exiliades catalanes i espanyoles que malvivien en condicions penoses als caps de refugiats republicans de Sant Cebrià de Rosselló, Argeleres i Ribesaltes, i que van tenir la sort de ser acollides a la maternitat que va crear Eidenbenz.

La humanitat està arribant a un punt de no retorn. La nostra forma de viure està portant el món i l’espècie al límit i només tenim dues opcions: o ens repensem i ens humanitzem o ens extingirem. Encara hi som a temps, però la necessitat d’un gran canvi col·lectiu és urgent. No serà possible sobreviure sense modificar de manera profunda la nostra forma de pensar, de relacionar-nos i de viure.

Henry at Work invites listeners to rethink how we work today by exploring an aspect of Henry David Thoreau that has often been overlooked: Thoreau the worker. John Kaag and Jonathan van Belle overturn the popular misconception of Thoreau as a navel-gazing recluse who was scornful of work and other mundanities. In fact, Thoreau worked hard—surveying land, running his family's pencil-making business, writing, lecturing, and building his cabin at Walden Pond—and thought intensely about work in its many dimensions.

On the face of it, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a story about a lone superhero. However, saving the world is a team effort, embodied in Team Avatar, aka the Gaang. Aang needs help from his friends and tutors, even from non-human animals. Avatar: The Last Airbender and Philosophy brings to the fore the Eastern, Western, and Indigenous philosophies that are implicit in the show. This volume features contributions by experts on Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and Indigenous schools of thought, next to focusing on Western classical authors.

'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.

We all have a certain role to play in what we want the world to look like. What the world looks and feels like today is because of our actions—or inactions; there is always a price to pay for both. The need to understand that we are responsible for what the world is today cannot be overemphasized.

Écrit en 1934, cet essai propose une réflexion dont la profondeur surprend et dont les conclusions restent d’une actualité criante, dans un contexte où la défense des libertés face aux diverses sources d’oppression nécessite une attention permanente.

Audiolibro producido con música original y sonido 3D, el mismo está diseñado para ser escuchado con auriculares. El Anticristo es una de las últimas obras del filósofo alemán Friedrich Nietzsche. Aunque fue escrito en 1888, su controvertido contenido hizo que Franz Overbeck y Heinrich Köselitz retrasaran su publicación, junto con Ecce homo, hasta 1895.El libro es una crítica del cristianismo en conjunto, y de conceptos modernos como el igualitarismo y la democracia, a los cuales ve como consecuencia persistente de los ideales cristianos.

La sensibilidad no es un fenómeno nuevo; ocupa en la historia de nuestra sociedad un papel importante como motor del progreso civilizador. La urbanización y la tecnificación hacen al ser humano más sensible, porque al ampliarse el acceso a los derechos se agudiza también la percepción de las injusticias y de las vulneraciones que estas causan. Sin embargo, las posiciones al respecto se vuelven cada vez más rígidas: liberales e igualitarios, gente de derechas y de izquierdas, viejos y jóvenes, se enfrentan y propician una erosión creciente de la cultura democrática del discurso.

More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: "let there be a law that no deformed child shall live." This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy.

Instead of worst-case scenarios or Pollyanna optimism, you can envision an ideal world and be empowered to build it. The opportunity of our era is to transition to a sustainable, equitable, abundant global economy. When you rethink your mindset, understand tech and social trends, and design a future you want to live in, you can thrive by building a better future for us all.

Talking Cure is a timely and enticing excursion into the art of good conversation. Paula Marantz Cohen reveals how conversation connects us in ways that social media never can and explains why simply talking to each other freely and without guile may be the cure to what ails our troubled society. Drawing on her lifelong immersion in literature and culture and her decades of experience as a teacher and critic, Cohen argues that we learn to converse in our families and then carry that knowledge into a broader world where we encounter diverse opinions and sensibilities.

In this short accessible book, leading democratic theorist Jason Brennan guides listeners through the evolution of the concept of democracy and actual democratic practice over time to help them understand the foundations of this longstanding and yet newly fragile political system. In his wide-ranging tour of the concept, Brennan will examine what democracy meant to the Greeks who first developed the concept before examining how it changed throughout European and later Western history.

Join Bob as he travels around Northern New Jersey and “down the shore” meeting thousands of people from all backgrounds as he gives them a ride in his minivan. In Uberservations of a Pastor, he shares his private thoughts, reacting to the numerous conversations he’s overheard as a driver for the world’s largest ride sharing company.

Throughout history, and in numerous forward-thinking communities around the world today, great minds and pioneering spirits have sought and often succeeded at alternative ways of living. Some of these experiments burned brightly and briefly; others are living proof of what is possible. One of those startlingly rare books that upends our assumptions and raises our sights, Everyday Utopia gathers inspiring examples into a radically hopeful vision of how to build more contented and connected societies, as well as a practical guide to what we all can do to live the good life every day.

Periferia di Milano, anni Settanta. Gli anni del terrorismo e della droga, dei sogni di Oriente e di liberazione. Una mattina, nella classe di un Istituto Agrario, fa la sua apparizione Giulia, una giovane professoressa di lettere che parla di letteratura e di poesia con una passione sconosciuta. È quell'incontro a "salvare" Massimo Recalcati che, in questo libro dedicato alla pratica dell'insegnamento, riflette su cosa significa essere insegnanti in una società senza padri e senza maestri.

Locked in his desk for 25 years, What Is Man? was Twain's most serious, philosophical, and private work. The narrative appears in the form of a Socratic dialogue between a romantic young idealist and an elderly cynic. The pair debate issues of mankind, such as whether man is free to act or is more of a machine, whether personal merit is meaningless given how the environment shapes us, and if man truly has impulses other than to pursue pleasure and avoid pain.

They will possess the set of powerful character traits that the Sudbury system imbues in those who have spent sufficient time in the program. Above all, they will live an examined life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and fun.

It ought not to be necessary to ask a man if he likes his work. The radiance of his face should tell that. His very buoyancy and pride in his task, his spirit of unbounded enthusiasm and zest ought to show it.
