I wrote this book for you. Yes, YOU. You in particular. Herein you’ll find exactly the words you need to hear. You’ll know them when you hear them. I tried to keep this as brief as possible so you wouldn’t have to search very hard to find the words you need or listen to anything more than what was absolutely necessary. I know you’re a busy person and you don’t have much free time, so I’m trying to make this easy for you. Some of the things I’ve written here are going to seem odd…and others will make complete sense.

Transcendentalism embodies the concept that people have a deeper and more profound understanding of the world around them than simply by what they can glimpse with their senses. In this collection of essays and poems, the works of three transcendentalist authors are shared, each with their own impressions and opinions supporting the movement.

Nos llega desde Colombia una nueva propuesta para pensar los resortes y alcances del poder. Bruno Maduro empezó a darle vueltas al asunto ya a principios de los '90, mientras trabajaba como docente en las comunidades indígenas que sufrían y resistían a la violencia político-militar. Luego fue trenzando con esa experiencia la lectura de un sinfín de fuentes, traídas desde la antropología política, la filosofía y el psicoanálisis.

"A pleasure. ... Suitable for beach reading or for mainlining before a dinner party." —Dan Piepenbring, New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) "Absorbing. ... As thoughtfully written as it is nuts." —Chicago Tribune A collection of the world’s most mind-boggling, thought-provoking...

The world is ruled by a handful of super rich. These, in their short-sighted management of the planet, are leading humanity to its own self-destruction. The problem is that the same destructive dynamics, typical of the egoic mind that dominate the universal masters, also dwell in us common mortals, so on a smaller scale we are all co-responsible for the current situation.

What would the world look like after 10 years? Find out.

Love is most often associated with happiness, satisfaction, and pleasure. But it has a darker side we ignore at our peril. Love is often an uncomfortable and difficult feeling. The people we love can let us down badly. Since we are inevitably disappointed by love, wouldn't we be better off without it? No, says Carrie Jenkins. Instead, we need a new philosophy of love, one that recognizes that the pain and suffering love causes are a natural, even a good part of what makes love worthwhile. It's time we liberated love.

La licenciada Magdalena Reyes Puig nos presenta la filosofía como algo práctico y concreto, que contribuye a la resolución de problemas.

Hegel for Social Movements by Andy Blunden is an introduction to Hegel intended for those already active in social movements. It introduces Hegel's ideas in a way which will be useful for those fighting for social change, and while some familiarity with philosophy would be an advantage for the listener, the main pre-requisite is a commitment to the practical pursuit of ideal aims. The book covers the whole sweep of Hegel's writing, but focuses particularly on the Logic and Hegel's social theory—the Philosophy of Right.

Brought to you by Penguin. From the eminent philosopher, an authoritative exploration of the great questions of how to live 'There is a question everyone has to ask and answer - in fact, has to keep on asking and keep on answering. It is, 'How should I live my life?' meaning, 'What values shall...

Autonomy is either relational or it does not exist at all. Absolute individualism is a mental construct abstracted from an irreducibly relational biosphere. Human life finds itself in and is realized by relationships with other beings. This book gazes on the fact that individualism is irredeemably contingent on relationality. Significant as self-consciousness is, consciousness of the other as a fellow self is a higher consciousness. It is the consciousness of the other selves that is the basis of ethics and morality.

In this powerful book, Dr. K. Edwin Bryant confronts difficult conversations to help non-Blacks reinterpret public responses to oppression imposed on and experienced by the Black community. Dr. Bryant offers a real-life characterization of how justice disrupts the organization of power along racial lines and the final analysis needed to pull Black people apart from reliance on the "double consciousness".

El Arte de la Prudencia nos brinda mediante aforismos, enseñanzas prácticas para triunfar en un mundo donde predomina los hechos y las acciones, más que las palabras.

Philosopher Nick Riggle explores the beauty of being alive by investigating the things we say to inspire ourselves and each other: seize the day, treat yourself, you only live once. These clichés are at best vague, at worst stupid. They imply that you should do something wild with your life because your life is precious, a little like saying you should go swimming with your grandfather’s watch because it is irreplaceable.

¿Qué tienen en común la desaparición de las variedades de manzana, la aparición de políticos en programas de entrevistas, el fundamentalismo religioso y el mercado del arte y la música? La diversidad se reduce en todas partes, lo inesperado y lo desajustado se rechaza. En lugar del contenido peculiar, hay una supuesta autenticidad: ya no es el "qué" lo que cuenta, sino solo el "cómo". En la actualidad, la complejidad, la pluralidad y la diversidad ya no se perciben como un enriquecimiento.

Vivimos en un mundo complejo, revuelto. Asediados por emergencias climáticas, tecnologías adictivas, políticas radicales, conflictos culturales, un consumo desbocado y noticias que nos aturden y confunden, necesitamos más que nunca detenernos a pensar. En este singular y valioso audiolibrolibro, la filósofa María Ángeles Quesada nos ilustra sobre una gran virtud, un tanto olvidada: la virtud de pensar. Aborda de manera directa y amena en qué consiste el pensamiento crítico y cómo impulsarlo y cultivarlo.

Nei momenti di crisi e trasformazione come quello che stiamo vivendo, la filosofia può aiutarci a rispondere alle domande più urgenti. Dobbiamo solo interrogarla. È ciò che fanno i filosofi e scrittori Andrea Colamedici e Maura Gancitano: mettendo in comunicazione il nostro presente con l'Atene del V secolo a.C., interrogano i pensatori dell'età classica, ma non solo, sui temi del dibattito contemporaneo.

Another in a series (including From the Top, Roughneck Grace, Million Billion, and Peaceful Persistence) of collected brief essays by New York Times best-selling author and humorist Michael Perry.

After spending my last 58 years on this planet as a student at the School of Hard Knocks, I decided to jot down—spill my guts, really—all the pain and joy I've experienced throughout life. And I decided to call this little gem of wisdom The Way of the Ray. Starting with the trials and tribulations that formed my existence here on Mother Earth, I try to dissect and explain why I came to be where I am in life. And maybe how you, with a little understanding of your fellow humans, can make a path for yourself in this crazy and less than perfect world.

În noua lui carte, Mark Manson își îndreaptă atenția asupra nesfârșitelor nenorociri care au loc în lume. Inspirându-se din cercetările psihologice legate de aceste subiecte, precum și din înțelepciunea atemporală a lui Platon, Nietzsche sau a legendarului Tom Waits, el disecă religia și politica și modul în care acestea au ajuns să semene între ele. Manson analizează relația noastră cu banii, cu industria de divertisment și cu internetul, arătând că, oricât de bun ar fi un lucru, dacă este consumat în exces, ne poate omorî—psihologic vorbind.

Il saggio Moni Ovadia tiene una lezione sull'ebraismo a Dario Vergassola e lui, da buon ligure, risponde e interpreta. Scopre di essere, per affinità, molto più vicino agli ebrei di quanto credesse in precedenza. Il cinismo caustico di Vergassola si lega allo humour tutto yiddish di Ovadia producendo uno scambio dal ritmo serrato in cui si demoliscono luoghi comuni con un'ironia disarmante.

In questa opera del 1884, il filosofo Herbert Spencer esprime il suo pensiero politico. La negazione di ogni interferenza dello Stato con la vita sociale (assistenzialismo, risoluzione conflitti sociali) fa di Spencer un sostenitore del liberalismo politico, anche se, contrariamente allo stereotipo che lo vede come un ultraconservatore, Spencer era simpatizzante delle istanze libertarie, anti-imperialista, anticoloniale, contrario alla schiavit in ogni sua forma, e sostenitore di un modello di produzione basato sulle cooperative piuttosto che sul lavoro salariato.

Wieso erdulden es Menschen, Hunderte, Tausende, Millionen, dass es einen einzigen Tyrannen gibt, der nur soviel Macht, als sie ihm verleihen? Sie akzeptieren dieses Schicksal freiwillig, erklärt de la Boétie. Ein noch heute absolut hörenswertes Werk aus der Renaissance.

In 2020, COVID-19, the Australia bushfires, and other global threats served as vivid reminders that human and nonhuman fates are increasingly linked. Human use of nonhuman animals contributes to pandemics, climate change, and other global threats which, in turn, contribute to biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and nonhuman suffering.

"Todo sobre el amor" ofrece nuevas formas radicales de pensar sobre el amor al mostrar su interconexión en nuestra vida privada y pública. En once capítulos concisos, hooks explica cómo nuestras nociones cotidianas de lo que significa dar y recibir amor a menudo nos fallan, y cómo estos ideales se establecen en la primera infancia. Ofrece un replanteamiento del amor propio (sin narcisismo) que aporta paz y compasión a nuestra vida personal y profesional, y defiende la importancia del amor para poner fin a las luchas entre individuos, comunidades y sociedades.

Im Jahre 1930 veröffentlichte Sigmund Freud diese Schrift, in der er den Menschen als Meister der "Verdrängung" beschreibt, die dieser in allen Feldern der Zivilisation unterworfen sei. In der Realität des Lebens sei der Mensch zu Lustverzicht, Zügelung, Umlenkung und Verdrängung der Triebe gezwungen.

Culto della giovinezza, idolatria dell'intelligenza, ossessione della crescita economica, tirannia della moda: sono alcuni dei miti di oggi che Umberto Galimberti passa in rassegna per smontarli e denunciarne la natura ingannevole, mostrando come i falsi miti siano in realtà "idee malate", non avvertite come tali, e quindi tanto più capaci di diffondere i loro effetti nefasti senza trovare la minima resistenza. Sono i miti del nostro tempo, le idee che più di altre ci pervadono e ci plasmano come individui e come società.

Except most of the ideas that form Western Civilisation are just that—ideas. Taking cues from Greek philosophy and honed in the Enlightenment, certain notions about humanity and human society grew into the tenets we live by, and we haven't questioned them a great deal since. But isn't it time we asked who really benefits from the values at the core of our society? How much truth lies in a science that conjured up 'race'? Who do laws and nations really protect? Why does it feel like time is money? What even is 'art'?

En este maravilloso ensayo, Lledó juega y conversa con los numerosos términos que la cultura griega nos ha legado, y se detiene en el de amistad, un concepto clave a la hora de explorar quiénes somos. Lo contrapone a otra noción esencial, la de identidad, hoy tan manida y viciada, que, en su origen, lejos de aludir a lo que nos diferencia, se refería a nuestra mirada humana sobre el mundo y sobre nosotros mismos, y es un componente fundamental de la democracia.

Byung-Chul Han si focalizza con particolare attenzione sul disagio dell'individuo tardo-moderno nella società odierna, caratterizzata dalla prestazione, dalla competizione e, soprattutto, dall'appiattimento delle contraddizioni e dal venir meno della negatività. Le analisi sviluppate mettono in luce, nello specifico, come l'ossessione dell'iperattività e la tendenza sempre piú forte al multitasking arrivino a produrre disturbi di natura depressiva e nevrotica.

Gesundheit, Kreativität, persönliches Glück – Charles Pépin zeigt: Wir müssen anderen begegnen, um uns selbst zu begegnen. Begegnungen verändern uns, indem sie uns mit dem Anderen konfrontieren, schreibt Charles Pépin. Nachdem uns die Pandemie auf Abstand gezwungen hat, geht der Philosoph der Frage nach, was freundschaftliche, romantische, professionelle und zufällige Begegnungen für den Einzelnen bedeuten. Er zeigt: Jeder zwischenmenschliche Kontakt ist auch eine Begegnung mit der Welt und mit uns selbst.

We have accepted violence as a way of life and yet at the same time we want peace.

Only when the mind and heart are really simple is one able to solve the many problems that confront us. A religious man is he who is inwardly simple. Q: I have been a member of various religious organisations, but you have destroyed them all. I am utterly bored and work because hunger forces me to it. I am afraid to commit suicide. What on earth am I to do? Q: What have you to say to a person who, in quiet moments, sees the truth of what you say, who has a longing to keep awake but who finds himself repeatedly lost in a sea of impulse and small desires?

Seven public talks, including 'Does self-knowledge come through searching? - 16th July 1949' and 'Relationship has significance only when it is a process of self-revelation. - 17th July 1949' and more.

What is the relationship to society of a man who has insight? What is his action with regard to war and the whole world?

Opposites and borders are never as clear as we think. With a novelist's eye for the unexpected, author Hari Kunzru takes listeners into the gray zone between life and death, public and private, black and white, and more. Along the way he meets philosophers and punk musicians, New Age gurus and space explorers, and together they investigate liminal spaces around the world. Into the Zone: Audio Essays includes a new foreword and afterword providing bookends to a series of brilliantly crafted intersections on history and the evolution of identity.

De esos y otros tópicos nos habla en sus libros este polémico pero muy vigente filósofo y sociólogo francés, uno de los intelectuales más relevantes de la Francia contemporánea. Para acercarnos de a poco a su pensamiento, hemos resumido lo esencial de los siguientes textos: La Felicidad Paradójica (Ensayo Sobre la Sociedad de Hiperconsumo), Capítulo 4; El Imperio de Lo Efímero, Capítulos 4 y 5; Espacio Privado y Espacio Público en la Era Posmoderna; Espacio Privado y la Revolución de la Autonomía.

Your intellectual freedom is at stake, threatened by everything from academia and Big Tech to the media and government. Fortunately, you have a way to take back personal control, and it’s a solution founded upon ancient philosophy. In Restoring Reason, philosopher Dr. Travis Corcoran demonstrates how the liberal arts provide us with a skillset to evaluate knowledge and draw our own conclusions for clarity, confidence, and freedom.

La digitalización avanza inexorablemente. Aturdidos por el frenesí de la comunicación y la información, nos sentimos impotentes ante el tsunami de datos que despliega fuerzas destructivas y deformantes.

In 63 BC, frustrated by his failure to be elected leader of the Roman Republic, the aristocrat Catiline tried to topple its elected government. Backed by corrupt elites and poor, alienated Romans, he fled Rome while his associates plotted to burn the city and murder its leading politicians. The attempted coup culminated with the unmasking of the conspirators in the Senate. In How to Stop a Conspiracy, Josiah Osgood presents a brisk, modern new translation of the definitive account of these events, Sallust's The War with Catiline.

We live in a world oriented toward greatness, one in which we feel compelled to be among the wealthiest, most powerful, and most famous. This book explains why no one truly benefits from this competitive social order, and reveals how another way of life is possible—a good-enough life for all.
