If you're into self-help and personal development, you've most likely come across the terms stoicism and stoic philosophy a lot these days. Unlike a fancy-sounding pop psychology trend or personal development quick fix, stoicism is a powerful ancient Greek philosophy concept.

38 dialektische Kunstgriffe, um in einer Diskussion Recht zu behalten: "Eristische Dialektik ist die Kunst zu disputieren, und zwar so zu disputieren, dass man Recht behält, also per fas et nefas. Man kann nämlich in der Sache selbst objektiv Recht haben und doch in den Augen der Beisteher, ja bisweilen in seinen eignen, Unrecht behalten. Wann nämlich der Gegner meinen Beweis widerlegt, und dies als Widerlegung der Behauptung selbst gilt, für die es jedoch andre Beweise geben kann; in welchem Fall natürlich für den Gegner das Verhältnis umgekehrt ist."

Este libro de dos mil quinientos años de antigüedad es uno de los más importantes textos clásicos Chinos, en el que, a pesar del tiempo transcurrido, ninguna de sus máximas ha quedado anticuada, ni hay un solo consejo que hoy no sea útil. Pero la obra del general Sun-tzu no es únicamente un libro de práctica militar....

Why do Internet, financial service, and beer commercials dominate Super Bowl advertising? How do political ceremonies establish authority? Why does repetition characterize anthems and ritual speech? Why were circular forms favored for public festivals during the French Revolution? This book answers these questions using a single concept: common knowledge.

Ludwig Wittgenstein is één van de belangrijkste denkers uit de 20e eeuw en zijn filosofische werk omvat vrijwel het hele menselijk denken en handelen, met nadruk op de logica. Weinig mensen echter weten dat muziek een hoofdrol speelde in zijn leven. Hij groeide op in een muzikale familie, waar grote componisten als Brahms en Mahler over de vloer kwamen. Zelf speelde Wittgenstein klarinet en hij componeerde een muziekstuk, getiteld Leidenschaftlich, dat hij met potlood tussen zijn filosofische aantekeningen krabbelde.

Questo dialogo è uno scritto che mette a confronto due modi di pensare. L'Anima è Leonardo da Vinci, espressione di un conoscitivismo non più degli inizi, ma pur sempre incapace di distinguere le varie forme di pensiero (magico, religioso, filosofico, scientifico, ecc.), confondendole tra loro. La Mente è Silvio Ceccato, espressione di un atteggiamento che vuole evitare il dogmatismo, ogni forma di verità considerata in sé assoluta o in sé relativa.

Als einer der Väter der Analytischen Philosophie, hat Bertrand Russell eine Fülle von Essays verfasst, die sehr entschieden seine Meinung präsentieren und trotz seiner akademischen Formulierungen allgemeinverständlich bleiben. In dem von Norbert Hülm gelesenen Werk "Unpopuläre Betrachtungen" findet sich eine Sammlung seiner Aufsätze, die populär wurden. Die enthaltenen Essays stellen Russell deutlich als den klaren Denker und großen Stilist dar, der er war. Russells Analysen zu folgen ist nicht nur sehr unterhaltsam, es regt auch zum Nachdenken an.

Gedankenspiele sind seit über zweitausend Jahren die Werkzeuge der Philosophie - sie helfen dabei, Antworten auf die grundlegenden Fragen des Lebens zu finden. Die großen Philosophen - von Sokrates bis Sartre - haben solche geistigen Experimente entwickelt, um sich Themen wie Moral, Freiheit oder Gerechtigkeit zu nähern: Wie würden wir leben, wenn wir unsterblich wären? Wenn ich mein Gehirn mit dem meines Nachbarn tausche - wer wohnt dann wo? Wie kann ein angeketteter Hund glücklich werden?

"Sulle spalle dei giganti" rappresenta per i lettori di Eco un evento festoso. Lontano dalle aule universitarie, dai congressi accademici, dalle cerimonie onorarie, Eco scrive questi testi, nel corso di tre lustri, per intrattenere gli spettatori (che ogni volta per lui accorrono a frotte) della Milanesiana, il festival ideato e diretto da Elisabetta Sgarbi. Testi che il più delle volte traggono spunto dal tema stesso che ogni anno la Milanesiana si dà, per poi scorrere lungo rivoli di un repertorio che attinge alla filosofia quanto alla letteratura, all'estetica, all'etica.

Perché un candidato alla Presidenza degli Stati Uniti può vincere le elezioni sbraitando menzogne come "Costruirò un muro fra gli Stati Uniti e il Messico e sarà il Messico a pagarlo"? Perché abbiamo voglia di comprare una confezione di Nespresso dopo aver visto l'ennesima pubblicità con George Clooney? Perché se ci troviamo in una città sconosciuta camminiamo con lo sguardo incollato allo schermo del telefonino, preoccupati solo di non perdere di vista Google Maps?

The history of Western thought contains hundreds of statements by philosophers testifying to the use of esoteric writing in their own work or others'. Despite this well-documented history, however, esotericism is often dismissed today as a rare occurrence. But by ignoring esotericism, we risk cutting ourselves off from a full understanding of Western philosophical thought. Arthur M. Melzer serves as our guide in this engaging history of philosophical esotericism. Walking listeners through both an ancient and a modern esoteric work, he explains what esotericism is - and is not. 

In How Propaganda Works, Jason Stanley demonstrates that more attention needs to be paid. He examines how propaganda operates subtly, how it undermines democracy - particularly the ideals of democratic deliberation and equality - and how it has damaged democracies of the past. 

Despite 21st-century fears of an "epidemic" of loneliness, its history has been sorely neglected. A Biography of Loneliness offers a radically new interpretation of loneliness as an emotional language and experience. Using letters and diaries, philosophical tracts, political discussions, and medical literature from the 18th century to the present, historian of the emotions Fay Bound Alberti argues that loneliness is not a historical, universal phenomenon. It is, in fact, a modern emotion: before 1800, its language did not exist.
