«La omnipotencia de la imbecilidad. Ni los dioses la vencen» «La razón no ocupa todo pero, no hacerla un sitio, es como saltar obstáculos cojeando» Javier Sádaba se maneja con igual destreza en las distancias largas que en las cortas. Siempre encuentra un lugar para el ingenio. En el presente libro recurre al aforismo, o fórmula concentrada para expresar una idea, tan breve en extensión como amplio en pensamiento. Intuye, escoge la manera de decir, de provocar, de sugerir, de recorrer los puntos cardinales que afectan al ser humano: religión, política, amor...

Un estimulante ensayo sobre los cambios que el auge de la tecnología está operando en el ser humano... y los aún por llegar. Descartes creía que los organismos vivos son máquinas biológicas, sometidas como cualquier otra entidad física a las leyes del universo. Los seres humanos, en cambio, seríamos diferentes, poseedores de libre albedrío. Pero Rick Deckard, el protagonista del clásico Blade Runner, tenía serias dificultades para distinguir a un "replicante", un robot biológico, de un ser humano, y así no equivocarse a la hora de "retirar" (eufemismo de matar) a las "entidades electrónicas".

Cuando el profesor Amit Ray quiso convencer a su decano para que le permitiera incluir "Los Simpson" en sus clases argumentó: "Las ideas ya no se escriben en papel. Se escriben en pantallas". Sobre todo en pantallas de televisión, cabría apostillar, ya que son las series de televisión, sobre todo las estadounidenses, las que han propiciado un debate y un diálogo a través de los medios de comunicación, en particular foros, webs y blogs de Internet, en el que se plantean cuestiones tan candentes como la reforma del sistema de pensiones ("El ala oeste de la Casa Blanca"), las relaciones entre padres e hijos ("Los Simpson").

Para el filósofo, es en los siglos XV y XVI cuando se manifiesta el primer germen de lo que será un giro decisivo en la imagen del mundo y del hombre y en el modo de pensar sobre ellos. Así, para ver el Renacimiento a la luz del pensamiento moderno, aborda la pérdida del centro: las ideas del hombre, de la cultura, de la historia, del alma y de la naturaleza y de la magia y la ciencia.

Why do we create? Why does humanity, confronted with chaos inside and out, insist on painting, writing, inventing, building, dreaming? And could creativity be the one force that makes existence not only bearable—but meaningful? This book is a journey into the heart of chaos and the human spirit’s response to it. It explores creativity not as luxury or pastime, but as our deepest survival tool, our rebellion against absurdity, and our bridge between order and disorder.

Utopia – Liberty & Capitalism written by Alexander Calarizien provides an outline of How to Create the Ideal Society. Dive into the rights, laws, structure, policies, and history of successful societies, to learn how to guide humanity forward.

Homo amor is the answer to the one of the three great questions of CosmoErotic Humanism, Who Am I? Or, Who are We? The evolution of consciousness, which itself is the evolution of love, is rooted in the ever-deepening response to this great question of human identity. Indeed, Homo amor is the next evolutionary step beyond Homo sapiens. Homo amor is a deeper, truer, and more beautiful answer to the question of Who am I, and Who are We.

In a time of accelerating crises and collapsing certainties, philosophy can no longer remain the distant pursuit of abstract speculation. It must become a way of orientation—a compass for living in a world of complexity, contradiction, and change. This book invites the listener into an integral vision of thought: a philosophy that does not impose dogma but weaves together insights from diverse traditions, sciences, and lived experiences. It shows how no single system contains the whole, yet each carries a fragment of truth waiting to be brought into relation.

The Agnostic Mind invites the listener into a journey through uncertainty—not as weakness, but as a source of strength. Moving across the landscapes of philosophy, science, and daily life, it explores what it means to live without final answers yet without surrendering to despair.

Human history is the story of symbols turning against their makers. Myths, laws, identities, each begins as a tool for survival, coherence, and meaning. But every symbol hardens. Every order closes. And when the lock tightens too far, collapse follows. The only thing that has ever broken the cycle is rupture. Visionaries, mystics, rebels, and neurodivergent minds have stepped outside the circle, cracked the mirror, and forced reality back in. Without them, every civilization would have suffocated in its own stories. Today, the lock-in is digital and global.

In this book, Dr Marc Gafni and Barbara Marx Hubbard present a new story of humanity, a new understanding of our intimate relationship to evolution, as well as our intimacies with ourselves and with our circle of beloveds.

We live in a time of global crisis. All of the crises are interlinked at their core, expressions of what we have called a global intimacy disorder. The urgent need for coherent action is existential. Every crisis has the potential to be a birth. Crisis is an evolutionary driver. Evolution is not happening to us. Rather, evolution is happening in us. We are called to radically realize and be lived as the transformation.

In the most rigorous articulation of his philosophical system to date, Slavoj Žižek provides nothing short of a new definition of dialectical materialism. In forging this new materialism, Žižek critiques and challenges not only the work of Alain Badiou, Robert Brandom, Joan Copjec, Quentin Meillassoux, and Julia Kristeva (to name but a few), but everything from popular science and quantum mechanics to sexual difference and analytic philosophy.

What do aliens, dying planets, ancient pyramids, quantum weirdness, gender politics and sandal design have in common? They all find a place in this wildly entertaining exploration of the questions most of us think about but rarely say out loud. From the baffling to the brilliant, the hilarious to the haunting, Random Curiosities takes you on a freewheeling ride through the strange chaos of human thought. Broken down into essay style chapters on random ideas (that the author somehow manages to link!) relating to humanity and the world around us, this isn’t a book with neat answers.

This book shares two true stories that show how medicine can change a person’s life in very different ways—and how the difference often comes down to whether someone is truly listened to. The first story is about a young child whose life took a sudden turn after a medical accident. Instead of finding ways to help him heal, doctors decided to follow their own idea about what would be “best,” without asking or giving him a choice. They changed his body and told his parents to raise him in a completely different identity. As he grew up, nothing felt right.

Since its publication in 1968, Difference and Repetition , an exposition of the critique of identity, has come to be considered a contemporary classic in philosophy and one of Gilles Deleuze's most important works. The text follows the development of two central concepts, those of pure difference and complex repetition. It shows how the two concepts are related, difference implying divergence and decentring, repetition being associated with displacement and disguising.

No ordinary study of Hegel, Hegel in a Wired Brain investigates what he might have had to say about the idea of the 'wired brain' – what happens when a direct link between our mental processes and a digital machine emerges. Žižek explores the phenomenon of a wired brain effect, and what might happen when we can share our thoughts directly with others. He hones in on the key question of how it shapes our experience and status as 'free' individuals and asks what it means to be human when a machine can read our minds.

The concept of disparity has long been a topic of obsession and argument for philosophers but Slavoj Žižek would argue that what disparity and negativity could mean, might mean and should mean for us and our lives has never been more hotly debated. Disparities explores contemporary 'negative' philosophies from Catherine Malabou's plasticity, Julia Kristeva's abjection and Robert Pippin's self-consciousness to the God of negative theology, new realisms and post-humanism and draws a radical line under them.

...habe gerade Kafka-Dub gehört: Zuerst dachte ich: 42, du weißt schon, Douglas Adams, dann war ich ganz bei meinem Jahr mit Milton: Paradise Lost, dann beim Zenmeister und seiner berühmten Aufgabe, mit einer Hand zu klatschen, und zum Ende hin fragte ich mich, wie das wohl zu Ende gehen kann: Haus, Tisch, warten, allein, Welt, Dub, Dub, Dub... Kafka Dub ist ein Hörbuchprojekt zu Franz Kafkas Zürauer Aphorismen, die nach Kafkas Tod von seinem besten Freund Max Brod als Betrachtungen über Sünde, Leid, Hoffnung und den wahren Weg veröffentlicht wurden und will eine neue Perspektive auf Kafkas zeitloses Werk finden.
