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.

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.

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.

Estamos perdiendo nuestra capacidad de no hacer nada. Nuestra existencia está completamente absorbida por la actividad y, por lo tanto, completamente explotada. Dado que solo percibimos la vida en términos de rendimiento, tendemos a entender la inactividad como un déficit, una negación o una mera ausencia de actividad cuando se trata, muy al contrario, de una interesante capacidad independiente.

Alle Welt redet davon, die Natur zu schützen. Um dies zu können, müssten wir zumindest erfahren können, was Natur ist und sie uns bedeutet. Dieses Gespür ist uns abhandengekommen. Der renommierte Physiker Ulf Danielsson zeigt den blinden Fleck der modernen Naturwissenschaften: Wissenschaftler rechnen und rechnen, aber der Mensch, mit all seinen Sinnen, spielt keine Rolle mehr in den Naturwissenschaften. Doch dabei ist das Universum keinesfalls nur Mathematik. Wir leben in Welt und Weltall, aber nicht in den abstrakten Gleichungen. Wir sind Lebewesen und keine Maschinen.

In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.

Political and generational divides often dictate how questions such as these are answered, and when asked most people give automatic answers that roughly align with the broader position they believe is right - though many flounder when asked to detail their reasoning. This creates cultural and political tribes, makes people nervous about engaging at all, or leads to the issues to be trivialised or attributed to the excessive sensitivity of 'snowflakes' to 'identity politics'.

When The Stone Reader—a landmark collection of 133 essays from the New York Times’ award-winning philosophy column—first published, in 2015, the world urgently needed insight and wisdom, and for many, the book served as a bulwark of reason against the rising tide of post-fact rhetoric. Now, as disinformation continues to run rampant and our rights are increasingly called into question, editors Peter Catapano and Simon Critchley contend that philosophy in the public sphere is more crucial than ever.

An Essay for Ezra is a critique of terror that begins but by no means ends with the presidency of Donald J. Trump. A father addresses his son and a boy shares his observations in a dynamic dialogistic exchange that is a commentary of and for its time, taking the measure of racial terror and of white supremacy both in our moment and as a historical phenomenon.

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.

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.

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.

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.
