From the 17th to 18th centuries, bold thinkers cast off the authority of ancient traditions and embraced reason as the primary tool for understanding the world. These rationalists, or early modern philosophers, included René Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—visionaries whose answers to profound questions remain relevant today. Early Modern Philosophy: Descartes and the Rationalists covers the key philosophers of this period in 12 fascinating half-hour lectures, presented by award-winning teacher James D. Reid, Professor of Philosophy at Metropolitan State University.

The Problems of Philosophy is a 1912 book by Bertrand Russell, in which the author attempts to create a brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. Focusing on problems he believes will provoke positive and constructive discussion, Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics: If it is uncertain that external objects exist, how can we then have knowledge of them but by probability.

In thirteen iconoclastic essays, Slavoj Žižek disrupts the death-grip that neoliberalists, Trumpian populists, toxic self-improvement industries and accelerationists alike have established on the idea of progress. Anatomizing what is lost when opponents of the future are allowed to define it, Žižek ruthlessly exposes what different visions of progress exclude or sacrifice and the dynamics of desire, denial and disavowal at work in Hollywood blockbusters, Buddhist economics, decolonization movements and other engines of vision.

The original edition of The World as Will and Idea appeared in 1818, but in 1844 Schopenhauer published an expanded version. It contained the 'Criticism of the Kantian Philosophy', a lengthy document; and Supplements to the First Book ( The Doctrine of the Idea of Perception) and the Second Book ( The Doctrine of Perception or Knowledge of the Understanding).

Arthur Schopenhauer's The Art of Literature is a lively, illuminating and brutally honest collection of essays on literary style and values, writers and critics, and the nature of genius. Schopenhauer advises seclusion and independent thought, criticizes Pliny's reading habits, and explains the pitfalls of certain schools of thought and even virtues like modesty. His thought-provoking arguments, caustic wit, and accessible style make this a must for any aspiring writer.

Descubre la filosofía desde tu sofá: De Sócrates a Netflix te lleva en un viaje filosófico con ejemplos de la vida diaria y queridos personajes de la cultura pop. ¡La filosofía nunca fue tan accesible! "Sólo sé que nada sé y ni de eso estoy seguro". Es difícil creer que una frase muy conocida, parafraseada y con la que es tan fácil identificarse fue dicha hace miles de años. También es probable que la reconozcas, pero que no sepas quién la acuñó. La verdad es que en nuestro día a día nos enfrentamos a dilemas filosóficos y usamos distintos conceptos para resolverlos sin siquiera darnos cuenta.

In this rigorous and unsettling study, Boris Kriger reconstructs Georges Bataille’s vision of the sacred as a trembling border between reason and its own undoing. Moving beyond biography and commentary, the book situates Bataille’s thought within the crises of twentieth-century modernity—the collapse of transcendence, the exhaustion of eroticism, and the metamorphosis of sacrifice into aesthetics.

This book is not here to comfort you. It does not promise hope, progress, or some tender reassurance about the nobility of the human project. It will not tell you that everything happens for a reason, or that there is meaning to be found in our collective struggle. Instead, it stands firmly within the logic of Jean Baudrillard’s simulacra—a philosophy that does not seek to reveal a hidden truth, but to diagnose the condition of our reality. We no longer live in the world; we live within our own perception of it.

Often considered the foundation of political liberalism, John Locke's Two Treatises of Government was first published anonymously in 1689, in the wake of England's Glorious Revolution. In The First Treatise of Government, Locke refutes the idea of divine monarchy, while The Second Treatise of Government articulates Locke's philosophy of government, which he based upon his theories of natural rights and the social contract.

Martin Heidegger, considered by some to be the greatest charlatan ever to claim the title of "philosopher", by some as an apologist for Nazism, and by others as an acknowledged leader in continental philosophy, is probably the most divisive thinker of the 20th century. In the second edition of this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Michael Inwood focuses on Heidegger's most important work, Being and Time, to explore its major themes of existence in the world, inauthenticity, guilt, destiny, truth, and the nature of time.

Ever since its first publication in 1992, The End of History and the Last Man has provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.

Nel Quattrocento e nel Cinquecento, la "casa" in cui gli uomini abitavano diventò più grande e misteriosa. Si scoprì l'esistenza di un nuovo continente, l'America; e qualcuno intuì che la Terra non era il centro dell'Universo, ma un sassolino che volava in uno spazio i cui confini, se esistevano, non potevano che essere irraggiungibili. A questa dilatazione dello spazio si accompagnò una dilatazione del tempo: giacché l'Antichità, che non era mai stata dimenticata, cessò di essere il passato e diventò un modello vivo e vicino.

Here is a concise, comprehensive overview of Wilber's revolutionary thought and its application in today's world. In A Theory of Everything, Wilber uses clear, nontechnical language to present complex, cutting-edge theories that integrate the realms of body, mind, soul, and spirit. He then demonstrates how these theories and models can be applied to real-world problems in areas such as politics, medicine, business, education, and the environment.

Michael Köhlmeier lädt ein zu einer ganz persönlichen Reise, von Shakespeare über seinen Onkel Gerhard bis zu Coco Chanel. Will man für immer leben, wenn man für immer jung sein will? Ist Langeweile die Vorhut des Bösen? Sind Märchen nur Kindern oder auch Erwachsenen zumutbar? Und wenn es das Gute gibt, kann dann jeder die Welt besser machen? Michael Köhlmeier erkundet die großen und kleinen Fragen des Menschseins. Er zelebriert alle Facetten eines intellektuellen Savoir-vivre und entwirft eine kleine Schule des klugen Sehens.

Every act of knowing carries within it a quiet act of forgetting. Knowledge as Oblivion reveals the hidden symmetry between learning and loss, understanding and erasure, showing that progress in thought is not an accumulation but a perpetual renewal through disappearance. In this bold and luminous work, Boris Kriger dismantles the myth of intellectual continuity and invites the listener to reconsider what it means to “know.”

Schopenhauer is considered to be the most accessible of German philosophers. This book gives a succinct explanation of his metaphysical system, concentrating on the original aspects of his thought, which inspired many artists and thinkers including Nietzsche, Wagner, Freud, and Wittgenstein. Schopenhauer's central notion is that of the will-a blind, irrational force that he uses to interpret both the human mind and the whole of nature.

One of Nietzsche’s earliest works, The Birth of Tragedy (1872) is a remarkable source of inspiration. It is here that the philosopher expresses his frustration with the contemporary world and urges man to embrace Dionysian energy once more. He refutes European culture since the time of Socrates, arguing that it is one-sidedly Apollonian and prevents man from living in optimistic harmony with the sufferings of life.

A Brief History of Everything is an altogether friendly and accessible account of men and women's place in a universe of sex, soul, and spirit, written by an author of whom New York Times reporter Tony Schwartz says: "No one has described the path to wisdom better than Ken Wilber." Wilber...

«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.
