Dive into the intricate world of philosophical exploration with "A Philosophical Inquiry into the Tyranny of Clear Answers." This thought-provoking work challenges the allure of simplicity in a complex world, where the comfort of definitive answers often overshadows the nuanced beauty of questions. Through a series of reflective essays and deep analysis, the book examines how the quest for certainty can limit our understanding and stifle intellectual growth. It invites readers to embrace ambiguity and consider the value of doubt as a tool for deeper inquiry.

From the author of The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence comes a moving, accessible, and ultimately hopeful series of meditations on the gifts and burdens of self-awareness. Whether we realize it or not, all of us experience the pain of self-awareness. In an age when we are aware of so...

This book introduces a new grammar of value grounded in First Principles and First Values as the interior structure of the Universe. To live aligned with these principles is to become a post-tragic hero—not the old hero of conquest, but a new, tender, fierce lover of value. The hero is the one who stands for value and is willing to even die for value. The premodern hero is pre-tragic. For him, value is clear. There are no conflicts, there is only one version of value that is right. That version is sourced in direct revelation which takes place only within his native or chosen religion.

The Conquest of Happiness (1930) is Bertrand Russell’s short, practical guide to living more happily in the modern world. Russell argues that much unhappiness comes from patterns of thought and social pressures—like envy, fear of opinion, boredom, and the obsessive pursuit of status—and that these can be unlearned.

Ever wondered why your college roommate won't shut up about The Stranger? Curious about why French intellectuals spent the 1950s chain-smoking and arguing about whether you should kill yourself? Want to sound smart at dinner parties without actually reading 800 pages of dense existential philosophy? Welcome to the only Camus guide you'll ever need and the only one honest enough to admit that "imagine Sisyphus happy" is either profound wisdom or the philosophical equivalent of "good vibes only."

This book advances the Principle of Anti-Symmetry: the claim that symmetry has never existed in nature as more than a cognitive projection. What science repeatedly reveals as “symmetry breaking” is not the loss of an original balance, but the disclosure of reality’s true structure—irreducible imbalance.

This audiobook explores how human mentality—our ingrained habits of perception and emotional logic—shapes conflict in families, workplaces, and politics. It shows how changing the way we see can change the way we live together. At its core lies the idea of antihabitus: the capacity to step beyond automatic reactions, cultural scripts, and inherited patterns.

This audiobook is a call to reclaim value as real—because the future of the world depends on it. We live in a time between worlds and a time between stories, as the very existence of humanity is threatened by a meta-crisis. The meta-crisis is a series of interlocking social, political, educational, climate and technological crises, that we can all see and feel in our lives.

This audiobook explores the dangers of a broken sensemaking and information ecology in a time between worlds and time between stories. We are faced with two bad alternatives: to blindly dismiss all conspiracy theories or to blindly buy into all their claims. Both are wrong choices.

In this book, we point towards the ontologies of story and value. Story is real. And value is real. That is the reality consideration that we engage in this book. Along the way we engage Yuval Harari’s rejection of the ontology of both Story and Value. Harari is perhaps the most popular parrot of the postmodern zeitgeist at this moment in time. Harari’s key idea is that we need a new story around which open societies can cohere in order to respond to the meta crisis.

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.”

The Emergence of Awe: Reimagining Human Progress for the 21st Century explores how humanity stands at a crossroads, where exponential technological advancement meets stagnant political and social systems. Drawing from science, philosophy and history, Hayk Sarkissian offers a bold new way of thinking – challenging us to align human values with objective reality. He questions the deep-rooted assumptions and foundations of modern society to propose a philosophical shift to empower human flourishing in the 21st century.

En este libro se realiza, mediante la filosofia de la historia, la tan necesaria “sospecha de la sospecha”, y que el gran error posmoderno sea finalmente expuesto. Error, la cual va a mas alla de la simple contradiccion logica formal. Y cuya revelación; al mismo tiempo le da su nascimiento a la nueva filosofía metamoderna. Esta nueva filosofía no solo busca destruir, sino también construir verdades. Verdades más allá de la superficialidad de la izquierda y derecha hegelianas.

Este ensayo aporta luz a problemas políticos de la máxima actualidad en nuestra sociedad, en un momento en que la izquierda transformadora se encuentra en un estado de resaca, tanto por la tendencia al retroceso que está experimentando, como por su condición tras unos años de constante actividad. Escrito gracias a una profunda reflexión y un continuado estudio de la filosofía política, sobrepasa el aspecto teórico al alimentarse también de la experiencia política y la práctica institucional realizada durante muchos años.

«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").

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.
