The most powerful generation in America doesn't even know it exists. Yet. The 50-somethings, the "lost generation" of the '60s, has been rediscovered. Nobody sees the world like they do. They have experience and abilities like no other generation that's ever lived. It's their turn to lead, and that starts with finding out who they really are. They're not Baby Boomers. Their mission is to try to fix what the Boomers couldn't, and then to help Gen X find itself. They are, literally, the hope of the entire planet.

L'Advaita Vedanta è uno dei sistemi filosofici più importanti espressi dalla cultura indiana. Il saggio di Eliot Deutsch è una ricostruzione filosofica di questo sistema di pensiero, al cui centro risiede il concetto di non-dualità. Utilizzando gli strumenti della filosofia comparata, e muovendosi tra ontologia, epistemologia ed etica, Deutsch ricostruisce il complesso teorico dell'Advaita Vedānta facendone emergere i concetti filosofici universali.

The End of Enlightenment offers a radical re-evaluation of one of the most important moments in human history. Tracing around the world the changing perspectives of economists, philosophers, politicians and polemicists, historian Richard Whatmore argues that, for figures as diverse as David Hume, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith and Mary Wollstonecraft, the Enlightenment was a profound failure. They had strived to replace superstition with reason, fanaticism with toleration, but witnessed instead terror and revolution, corruption, gross commercial excess and the continued growth of violent empire.

Henry David Thoreau was an American writer and philosopher who lived in the 19th century. He is best known for his work Walden, a reflection on simple living in natural surroundings. Walden is Thoreau's account of his two-year experience living in a small cabin on the shores of Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts. In the book, he emphasizes the importance of living a simple, deliberate life and being self-sufficient. Thoreau's observations on the natural world and his critique of American society have made Walden a classic of American literature.

Failure is a topic discussed in every creative writing department in the world, but this is the book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare them.

Philosophy, Socrates declared, is the art of dying. This book underscores that it is also the art of learning to live and share the earth with those who have come before us. Burial, with its surrounding rituals, is the most ancient documented cultural-symbolic practice: all humans have developed techniques of caring for and communicating with the dead.

Warum verläuft das Leben nicht immer so, wie man es geplant hat? Gibt es einen Gott, und wenn ja, was bedeutet das? Und: Gibt es für solche Fragen überhaupt eine Antwort?

Walden oder Das Leben in den Wäldern - seit Jahrhunderten das Buch für Aussteiger, Frugalisten, Konsumverweigerer - oder auch ganz einfach nur Naturliebhaber! In ihm beschreibt Henry David Thoreau, wie er zwei Jahre lang die Stadt verließ, um im Wald nur mit eigenen Mitteln zu leben. Im Kapitel "Der Teich im Winter" gibt er einen geradezu magischen Bericht darüber, wie es ist, wenn man die scheinbar ruhende Natur betrachtet - mal nüchterne Erläuterung, mal philosophische Betrachtung über das menschliche Leben, aber immer ein faszinierendes Stück Literatur.

Walden oder Das Leben in den Wäldern - seit Jahrhunderten das Buch für Aussteiger, Frugalisten, Konsumverweigerer - oder auch ganz einfach nur Naturliebhaber! In ihm beschreibt Henry David Thoreau, wie er zwei Jahre lang die Stadt verließ, um im Wald nur mit eigenen Mitteln zu leben. Im Kapitel "Frühling" legt er dar, wie nach dem Winter das Leben in die Natur zurückkehrt - mal nüchterne Erläuterung, mal philosophische Betrachtung über das menschliche Leben, aber immer ein faszinierendes Stück Literatur.

This is the best of Emerson's later works, qualifying his earlier popular essays, series one and two, with the heavier hand of experience. The Conduct of Life ostensibly is a set of essays about how to live life but also is an amalgam of what life taught Emerson. Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803-April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century.

"Cogito, ergo sum: Ich denke, also bin ich." Einer der wohl berühmtesten Sätze der Philosophiegeschichte stammt von René Descartes. In seinem Grundlagenwerk denkt er in sechs Meditationen über Metaphysik und Erkenntnistheorie nach. Themen sind der Zweifel, die Natur des menschlichen Geistes, das Dasein Gottes, das Wahre und das Falsche, die materiellen Dinge und die Verschiedenheit von Geist und Körper. Ein wahrhaftiges Grundlagenwerk der Philosophie.

"Die Wände der Bienenzelle stoßen in dem Winkel aufeinander, der mit dem geringsten Aufwand von Wachs die größte Festigkeit gibt; der Knochen und der Kiel des Vogels geben die größte Flugkraft bei dem geringsten Gewicht. In der Beredsamkeit ist dieses kunstvolle Auslassen ein Hauptgeheimnis starker Wirkung, und im allgemeinen ist es ein Beweis hoher Bildung, die größten Dinge auf die einfachste Art zu sagen." Einfach leben, in Einklang mit der Natur – das war die scheinbar einfache Philosophie von Ralph Waldo Emerson, der im Massachusetts des 19. Jahrhunderts lebte.

Nature is a book-length essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and published by James Munroe and Company in 1836.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, who went by his middle name Waldo, was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century.

El fin de la historia no puede haber llegado con el neoliberalismo, como anunció Fukuyama. El espíritu universal, según Hegel, sigue un proceso dialéctico entre dos polos opuestos cuya tensión culmina en su síntesis. Así como el salmón, que retorna a su lugar de nacimiento para morir y desovar, el espíritu universal, tras su paso por Europa y hacer escala en Silicon Valley, vuelve al origen, que Hegel identifica en China. Aquí encontramos la síntesis entre capitalismo liberal y comunismo.

Después de sobrevivir a los campos de concentración en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Auschwitz entre ellos, la finitud y el sufrimiento fueron un constante asunto de preocupación existencial y filosófica para Viktor Frankl.

It seems so much is going wrong in America. Some say it’s because our leaders are incompetent. Others think it’s merely a coincidence. But to millions of concerned Americans, those simplistic explanations no longer ring true.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and his ideology was disseminated through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay "Nature".

Este ensayo aborda de un modo sutil e inesperado los «infinitivos esenciales» del ser humano: vivir, pensar y amar. Y constituye, sin duda, una valiosa aportación filosófica, desarrollada a partir del concepto de «repliegue del sentir».
