"All warfare is based on deception." With this insight, Sun Tzu invites us into the mind of one of history’s greatest military strategists. The Art of War is more than a military manual; it’s an ancient guide to mastering conflict, power, and human interaction. Written over 2,500 years ago in ancient China, its wisdom remains relevant across time and disciplines—from business to politics to personal growth. Sun Tzu’s treatise explores the profound nature of strategy.

It is widely accepted that political discourse in recent years has become more openly racist and more accepting of wildly implausible conspiracy theories. Dogwhistles and Figleaves explores ways in which such changes—both of which defied previously settled norms of political speech—have been brought about. Jennifer Saul shows that two linguistic devices, dogwhistles and figleaves, have played a crucial role.

I Think, Therefore I’m Wrong: Descartes and the Birth of Overconfidence is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally honest, and deeply unhinged guide to the man who launched modern philosophy with one anxious thought spiral and never looked back.

Le "Discours de la méthode" est un texte composite, assez peu méthodique en vérité, qui touche à la morale, à la logique, aux sciences. La méthode proprement dite se résume en peu de règles : "ne recevoir jamais aucune chose pour vraie, que je ne la connusse évidemment être telle" ; "diviser chacune des difficultés que j'examinerais" ; "conduire par ordre mes pensées" et m'assurer, par des "dénombrements si entiers, et des revues si générales", de n'avoir rien omis dans ces "chaînes de raisons", sur le modèle des géomètres.

Ellenberg chases mathematical threads through a vast range of time and space, from the everyday to the cosmic, encountering, among other things, baseball, Reaganomics, daring lottery schemes, Voltaire, the replicability crisis in psychology, Italian Renaissance painting, artificial languages, the development of non-Euclidean geometry, the coming obesity apocalypse, Antonin Scalia's views on crime and punishment, the psychology of slime molds, what Facebook can and can't figure out about you, and the existence of God.

നിങ്ങളുടെ യുക്തിയാണോ പരമമായ യുക്തി? അല്ലേയല്ല. തൽക്കാലം രക്ഷപെടാൻ നിങ്ങളുടെ മനസ്സ് രൂപപ്പെടുത്തി സൂക്ഷിക്കുന്ന കുയുക്തികൾ സ്വാഭാവികമാണ്. പക്ഷേ സത്യത്തിൻ്റെ അംശങ്ങളെ വെല്ലുവിളിച്ചുകൊണ്ടാണ് ഇത് രൂപപ്പെടുന്നത് എന്ന് അറിയേണ്ടിയിരിക്കുന്നു. ആവർത്തിച്ചു പറഞ്ഞു എങ്ങനെയാണ് നുണകൾ സത്യങ്ങൾ ആക്കിയെടുക്കുന്നത്?എങ്ങനെയാണ് അസത്യങ്ങൾ സത്യങ്ങളായി അവതരിപ്പിക്കപ്പെടുന്നത്.എങ്ങനെയാണ് നിങ്ങളെ ആളുകൾ പറഞ്ഞു പറ്റിക്കുന്നത് ? അൻപതു കു യുക്തികൾ (ലോജിക്കൽ ഫാലസികൾ ) ഉദാഹരണ സഹിതം രസകരമായി ഡോ.റോബിൻ കെ മാത്യു അവതരിപ്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.

Foucault's Power is the antidote to pretentious philosophical obscurity you've been waiting for.

In closely reported stories from the streets of New York to the seats of intellectual power, MacDonald shows how bad ideas get started and then acquire a life of their own. Her reports trace the transformation of influential opinion-makers and large philanthropic foundations from confident advocates of individual responsibility, opportunity, and learning into apologists for the welfare state.

In the 21st century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and, at the same time, appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that developed vaccines for COVID-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, quack cures and conspiracy theorising? Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are an irrational species. Instead, he explains that we think in ways that are sensible in the low-tech contexts in which we spend most of our lives, but fail to take advantage of the powerful tools of reasoning we have built up over the millennia.

Sophistry: The Dark Art Undermining Truth is a groundbreaking exploration into one of humanity’s oldest and most dangerous deceptions. This book reveals the insidious techniques of sophistry, exposing how it manipulates thought, divides societies, and erodes trust in an age of unprecedented complexity. Ethan Solace, an interdisciplinary psychologist and thought leader, takes listeners on a powerful journey through the shadows of manipulation, examining how sophistry infiltrates education, media, technology, and public discourse.

With The Interpretation of Cultures, the distinguished anthropologist Clifford Geertz developed the concept of thick description, and in so doing, he virtually rewrote the rules of his field. Culture, Geertz argues, does not drive human behavior. Rather, it is a web of symbols that can help us better understand what that behavior means. A thick description explains not only the behavior, but the context in which it occurs, and to describe something thickly, Geertz argues, is the fundamental role of the anthropologist.

In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie–The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge–as ‘…a child of crises, above all of …the crisis of physics.' The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the center of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science.

This extraordinarily wide-ranging work represents a new departure for contemporary literary theory. Author of Beginnings and the controversial Orientalism, Edward Said demonstrates that modern critical discourse has been impressively strengthened by the writings of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, for example, and by such influences as Marxism, structuralism, linguistics, and psychoanalysis.

Math is famous for its equations: 1 + 1 = 2, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, or y = mx + b. Much of the time it can seem like that’s all mathematics is: following steps to show that what’s on one side of an equation is the same as what’s on the other. In Unequal, Eugenia Cheng shows that’s just part of the story, and the boring part to boot. It isn’t even just about numbers and symbols at all, but a world of shapes, symmetries, logical ideas, and more.

Mortimer Adler stood on the metaphysical and moral teachings of Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas to convey to his readers an understanding of the nature of Aristotle’s rhetoric as an essential means for conveying to readers of his time and to posterity a specific understanding of philosophy as an essential humanistic educational tool that might, someday, be able to issue in global peace!

Drei philosophische Grundlagenwerke Nietzsches in einer Box: 1. "Über Wahrheit und Lüge im außenmoralischen Sinn": In diesem Essay behandelt Nietzsche die Entstehung und Bedeutung von Sprache. 2. "Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik": Hier legt Nietzsche den Grundstein seiner kulturphilosophischen Gedankenwelt. 3. "Also sprach Zarathustra": Das dichterisch-philosophische Hauptwerk Nietzsches, in dem er die Ideen des "Übermenschen" und des "Willen zur Macht" zum ersten Mal ins Spiel bringt.

De Oostenrijkse filosoof Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) is zonder enige twijfel één van de belangrijkste filosofen van de twintigste eeuw. Zijn denken heeft een grote bijdrage geleverd aan de filosofie van de taal, de wiskunde en de geest alsook aan de grondslagen van de logica. Door de een werd hij bewonderd, door de ander verguisd. Dat maakt hem tot een interessant onderwerp, zowel binnen als buiten de filosofie. Op toegankelijke en humoristische wijze behandelt Jean Paul Van Bendegem de biografie van Wittgenstein en biedt hij een diepere analyse van zijn twee bekendste werken.
