Die Jahre 1919 bis 1929 markieren eine Epoche unvergleichlicher geistiger Kreativität, in der Gedanken zum ersten Mal gedacht wurden, ohne die das Leben und Denken in unserer Gegenwart nicht dasselbe wäre. Die großen Philosophen Ludwig Wittgenstein, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Cassirer und Martin Heidegger prägten diese Epoche und ließen die deutsche Sprache ein letztes Mal vor der Katastrophe des Zweiten Weltkriegs zur Sprache des Geistes werden.

In Modern Social Imaginaries, Taylor continues his recent reflections on the theme of multiple modernities. To account for the differences among modernities, Taylor sets out his idea of the social imaginary, a broad understanding of the way a given people imagine their collective social life. Retelling the history of Western modernity, Taylor traces the development of a distinct social imaginary.

The Enlightenment is one of the formative periods of Western history, yet more than 300 years after it began, it remains controversial. It is often seen as the fountainhead of modern values such as human rights, religious toleration, freedom of thought, scientific thought as an exemplary form of reasoning and rationality and evidence-based argument. Others accuse the Enlightenment of putting forward a scientific rationality which ignores the complexity and variety of human beings, propagates shallow atheism and aims to subjugate nature to so-called technical progress.

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.

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.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Vividly written, The Infidel and the Professor is a compelling account of a great friendship of two towering Enlightenment thinkers that had great consequences for modern thought. David Hume is widely regarded as the most important philosopher ever to write in English, but during his lifetime, he was attacked as "the Great Infidel" for his skeptical religious views and deemed unfit to teach the young. In contrast, Adam Smith was a revered professor of moral philosophy and is now often hailed as the founding father of capitalism.

The year is 1919. The horror of the First World War is fresh for the protagonists of Time of the Magicians, each of whom finds himself at a crucial juncture. Benjamin is trying to flee his overbearing father and floundering in his academic career, living hand to mouth as a critic. Wittgenstein, by contrast, has dramatically decided to divest himself of the monumental fortune he stands to inherit, in search of spiritual clarity.

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.

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 הפילוסופית של ארנולד שוורצנגר? מהו הקשר בין "מטריקס" ל"ארץ הפלאות"? איך חוגגים מסיבת לא יומהולדת? לכמה אדמה זקוק הרוזן טולסטוי? איך הפך סנדלר חולמני למלך צרפת? מדוע נזקק האסטרונום הטורקי לחליפת ארמאני? האם הנסיך הקטן מצא תשובה לשאלתו של ביאליק? האם יש משמעות לשאלות על משמעות? מהם הדברים החשובים באמת?

أنت تنظر بعين الوهم فترى الناس يرتعشون أمام عصافة الحياة فتظنهم أحياء وهم أموات منذ الولادة ولكنهم لم يجدوا من يدفنهم فظلوا منطرحين فوق الثرى ورائحة النتن تنبعث منهم. يتناول جبران خليل جبران في كتاب العواصف الحياة والموت والحب، بمنطق فلسفي بديباجة أدبية؛ فهو يستنطق بفلسفته ألسنة الأزهار والأشجار ليُفصح من خلالها عمَّا في هذا الكون من أسرار ويدعو للخروج من حالة الخنوع والتخاذل الحضارية التي يعيشها الشرق من خلال تمجيده لقيم التمرد والتحلي بروح الفرادة بدل من الانسياق وراء التقاليد بشكل أعمى. جبران في العواصف سيجبرك على أن تتفكر كما لم تفعل من قبل ....

Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs verkörpern vier Philosoph:innen die Suche nach einem neuen Menschenbild und einer neuen Aufklärung: Theodor W. Adorno, Susan Sontag, Michel Foucault und Paul K. Feyerabend. Mit dem Ziel, die Welt besser zu verstehen und der lebensweltlichen Enge zu entfliehen, gehen sie zwischen Frankfurt, Paris, London, Berkeley und New York neue Wege, die direkt zu den großen Bruchlinien unserer Gegenwart führen. Wolfram Eilenberger legt erneut ein erzählerisches Meisterwerk vor, das Geschichte und Philosophie auf einzigartige Weise verbindet.

Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologian, and religious author interested in human psychology. He is regarded as a leading pioneer of existentialism and one of the greatest philosophers of the 19th Century.

في عالمنا المعاصر، يعاني كثيرون من القلق والتوتر والشعور بالانقسام. ومع انتشار وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي، أصبحت هذه المشاعر أكثر حدة والفجوات بيننا وبين أنفسنا تتسع. فكيف يمكننا وسط كل هذا الانقسام أن نحافظ على سلامة عقولنا؟! في هذا الكتاب، تطرح الروائية التركية أليف شافاك هذا السؤال الجوهري، وتحاول الإجابة عليه من خلال تحليلها لعالمنا المعاصر، وتجاربها الشخصية وقصص من حياتها، لتقدم رؤيتها للعالم. وتؤكد على أهمية الوعي الذاتي والمسؤولية الاجتماعية والتواصل مع الآخرين.

"Dies Buch gehört den Wenigsten. Vielleicht lebt selbst noch keiner von ihnen. Erst das Übermorgen gehört mir." Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) rechnete in dieser Schrift mit dem Christentum ab - wie üblich in einem Tonfall, der dem "Philosophieren mit dem Hammer" gleichkam. Ein zentrales Werk in Nietzsches Schaffen!

Life does not unfold by design. It moves, shifts, adapts—sometimes in harmony, often in chaos. What, then, is the right way to live? With his signature clarity and quiet defiance, Ralph Waldo Emerson steps beyond theory into the pulse of everyday existence. He does not prescribe rigid formulas but instead offers something sharper: a way of seeing. Here, work is not mere labor but an act of self-realization. Power is not control but a force that shapes character. Fate is not an iron law but a current to navigate.
