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...

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...

Slavoj Žižek gives us a reading of a philosophical giant that changes our way of thinking about our new posthuman era. 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...

Bloomsbury presents Disparities by Slavoj Žižek, read by Joe Jameson. 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...

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.

En los siglos anteriores a él, la filosofía había sido peligrosa para los filósofos, pero con Friedrich Nietzsche resulta peligrosa para todo el mundo. Nietzsche enloqueció y su locura presagió la demencia colectiva que había de tener consecuencias horrendas en Europa durante la primera...

Este es el libro de los encuentros del autor con los grandes pensadores de Occidente. Desde Tales hasta Simone Well...

El reconocido activista y escritor Mike Davis ofrece un pronóstico aterrador de una nueva amenaza global y establece la crisis de la COVID-19 en el contexto de catástrofes virales anteriores, como la gripe de 1918, que mató al menos a cuarenta millones de personas en tres meses, o la más...

La guerra es la muerte en sí misma. Vale lo mismo la vida de un guerrillero que la de un soldado. Y sin embargo, después de más de medio siglo de guerra de guerrillas, de masacres y bombardeos, de emboscadas, desapariciones… pocos, muy pocos en Colombia están convencidos de que la guerra...

Imagine a "secret password"—much like a mantra—so powerful that it is the key that turns the ignition to start the shift in human consciousness necessary to save humanity from self-annihilation. A "secret password" that can prevent us from destroying our ancestral planet, Earth, and all life on it. A "secret password" so simple, anyone can use it to change themselves and advance the evolution of human consciousness itself—before it's too late.

We need something in real-time, something that reflects our civilization and culture. That something is politics, Thus, we must start by adding the dimension of science to the study of politics. This is why this audiobook, The Biology of Politics, was written.

La desacralizzazione e la scristianizzazione accompagnano il destino dell'uomo occidentale. La civiltà del capitalismo assoluto, che basa il suo dominio sul nichilismo relativista e sulla volontà di potenza tecnoscientifica, non solo non ha più bisogno di affidarsi, come un tempo, alla religione quale strumento di potere: deve necessariamente promuoverne l'estinzione.

Finally, a philosophy book that doesn't take itself as seriously as the theorists it eviscerates! Nothing Means Anything mercilessly skewers postmodernism's most pretentious thinkers with savage wit and zero academic mercy.

What the Hell tears into Ludwig Wittgenstein—history's most insufferable genius—with savage wit and zero academic pretension. Journey through the mind-bending contradictions of a trust-fund philosopher who claimed to solve all philosophical problems (twice!), while making everyone around him miserable. Discover how a man who couldn't maintain a single healthy relationship somehow revolutionized our understanding of language, meaning, and communication.

In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons.

The world you knew is disappearing. Truth is being rewritten, reality is being engineered, and those who control the machines control the future. We are living in an age where artificial intelligence is replacing human thought, digital systems dictate the boundaries of speech and belief, and global institutions are collapsing under the weight of their own deception. Every pillar of civilization—faith, family, freedom—is under siege by forces determined to remake humanity in their own image.

מה קורה כאשר פו הדוב פוגש את וודי אלן? מה עשתה אליס על הספה של פרויד? איך הצליח עמנואל קאנט לפגוש את מרילין מונרו? האם אנו מבזבזים זמן או שהזמן מבזבז אותנו? מהי משנתו...
