Years before his breakout hit Timenergy, featuring an acclaimed Foreward by Slavoj Žižek, David McKerracher (publishing then as Theory Pleeb) introduced his groundbreaking concept and unique approach in this, his first audiobook.

Le 10 Domande è un viaggio intelligente, toccante e ironico verso l’ignoto — una guida per chi si chiede cosa potrebbe esserci dopo, ma preferisce farlo con un sorriso. Mescolando riflessione esistenziale, umorismo intelligente e tocchi di tenerezza umana, questo breve libro esplora la vita dopo la morte da una prospettiva curiosa, aperta e non dogmatica. Non è un trattato teologico — è un compagno leggero ma significativo per quei momenti in cui affiorano le grandi domande.

From birth, the intimate, face-to-face encounters of life form each person in a natural, everyday philosophy. Mother’s delighted welcome invites her tiny child into a fundamental vision of reality and models flourishing involvement with it. Sustained and matured in the gaze of certain friends throughout life, seeing oneself being seen with delight grows a “yes” to the world, a sense of one’s existence, a regard for others, and a lifelong desire for the face of God.

Bienvenue dans un voyage à travers le labyrinthe de l'existence humaine – un voyage qui se demande non seulement ce que nous sommes, mais comment nous sommes devenus ainsi, et plus urgent, pourquoi . « C'est pour ça que nous sommes ! Comment ? We Are ? » est une exploration, une réflexion, et peut-être une confrontation aux contradictions saisissantes qui nous définissent.

The Modern Mirror is Cracked. We live in an age of Surgical Blindness. When you look into your kitchen, your grocery store, or your dinner table, you are seeing the 1% Reality. You see the "Standardized Unit," the "Plastic-Wrapped Asset," and the "Nuggetized Soul". You see a world where the Math of Profit has successfully deleted the "Presence" of the living.

Klickzahlen, Fitnesstracker, Bestsellerlisten, Politikerrankings: Unsere Gesellschaft ist besessen von Scores. Der Philosoph C. Thi Nguyen deckt auf, wie Scores zu einem der prägendsten Werkzeuge unserer Zeit geworden sind – und warum wir dringend ihre Wirkungsweise verstehen müssen. Nguyen demonstriert an lebensnahen Beispielen, dass diese scheinbar harmlosen Zahlen uns tatsächlich dazu verleiten, fremde Werte unhinterfragt zu übernehmen. Wenn aber in unserer Beziehung zu unserer Gesundheit, unseren Jobs oder Lieblingsbeschäftigungen nur noch Scores zählen, verarmt unser Leben.

Can science truly explain everything? Or are some of its deepest assumptions rarely examined? In The Science Spell, Chris Spark does not reject science. He puts it in context. He pushes its critical thinking further than most scientists do. He looks under logs our most respected authorities often ignore.

What if everything we thought we knew about conflict and cooperation was backwards? For centuries, philosophers, economists, and scientists have asked: why do humans cooperate? The question assumes that conflict is natural and cooperation is the puzzle requiring explanation. This groundbreaking book inverts that assumption entirely. Drawing on evolutionary game theory, Nobel Prize-winning research on commons governance, and evidence from biology to artificial intelligence, A Unified Theory of Self-Organizing Systems presents a radical reframing.

For a century, the collective unconscious has been one of the most provocative and most dismissed ideas in the history of psychology. Carl Gustav Jung claimed that human beings share a deep symbolic substrate set of recurring patterns he called archetypes that shapes our dreams, myths, and stories with a regularity no single culture invented. Science rejected the claim. The theory was vague, unfalsifiable, and steeped in mysticism. The verdict seemed final.

What if everything that makes you you could fit on two pages? Boris Kriger lost his mother when his son was four. Years later, using nothing but memory and a language model, he rebuilt her as a digital interlocutor. His son sat down and talked to her for over an hour. He did not recognize a program. He recognized his grandmother.

What if genius is not a gift but a regime — a specific, identifiable state of a system that can be understood, entered, and sustained? For centuries, the question of exceptional achievement has been carved up among rival disciplines. Geneticists claim it lives in DNA. Psychologists insist it emerges from practice. Neuroscientists locate it in synaptic density. Sociologists point to culture and timing. Each holds a piece of the truth. None holds the whole.

The Flowing Self: Identity in Drift and the Dynamics of Being offers a radical rethinking of what it means to be a self in a world shaped by continuous change, relational complexity, and the dissolution of fixed categories. Rejecting essentialist models of identity and therapeutic narratives of self-discovery, the book presents a structural account of selfhood as a lawful process—not something possessed, but something inferred, constructed, and maintained through dynamic coherence over time.

We’re in a time between worlds and a time between stories. We are in a postmodern era characterized by the deconstruction of intrinsic value and the deconstruction of the Story of Value. But story is not merely a human construct that is useful for cohering society (as the postmodern zeitgeist suggests). Story is an ontology of Cosmos. Story is a First Principle and First Value of Cosmos. The deepest readings of interior and exterior sciences now demonstrate that Reality is a Story.

Someone recommended Crime and Punishment. Maybe it was a professor. Maybe it was that person at the coffee shop who looked very thoughtful. Maybe you just wanted to seem interesting at parties. Whatever the reason, you're now 200 pages into a Russian novel where a sweaty man has a theory about Napoleon, and you're starting to suspect you've made a terrible mistake. Welcome. You're in the right place.

una memorabile raccolta di una dozzina di saggi scritti tra il 1925 e il 1954 (a parte una curiosità filosofica del 1899), in cui egli dice la sua su tutti gli aspetti della religione in generale, e del cristianesimo in particolare.

Vivimos pegados a la pantalla, sometidos a los cantos de sirena de la tecnología digital. En la era del exceso informativo, la atención ha pasado a ser un bien escaso y codiciado por las grandes empresas tecnológicas. ¿Cómo afecta este fenómeno a nuestra autonomía y nuestra libertad? ¿Cómo podemos oponer resistencia a la colonización de nuestra mente? Con un pie en la antigua Grecia y el otro en Silicon Valley, Clics contra la humanidadarroja luz sobre uno de los problemas más urgentes de nuestro tiempo.

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) is now generally recognized as one of the most influential thinkers of the last century. This Very Short Introduction explores his extraordinary life and thought. His complex system of criticism is difficult for many, but it is coherent in its combination of a Judaic theological perspective with cultural Marxism. Benjamin's distinctive approach considered literary criticism, visual media, and the impact of cosmopolitanism. This innovative messianic understanding of history would go on to inspire countless critics and even entire schools of academia.

The Limit of Complexity is a philosophical investigation into one of the defining conditions of the contemporary world: the moment when complexity, once a source of power and progress, begins to turn against the systems that generate it. Moving across natural systems, economics, technology, politics, ethics, and human cognition, Boris Kriger examines how accumulation, interconnection, and scale quietly transform coherence into fragility. This book does not oppose complexity, nor does it idealize simplicity.

Lester explores the ethical and existential challenges posed by exponentially advancing technologies—namely robotics and artificial intelligence. He warns of how advanced robotics—particularly androids—could replace all human labor, unravel the family unit, and challenge the fundamental human needs for meaning and purpose. He analyzes the potential rise of technocratic oligarchy, where the few control the many through increasingly disruptive technologies threatening political order, the erosion of rights, and social stability.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant dream or speculative fiction--it's here, shaping how we work, learn, love, and even understand ourselves. But as machines become more capable, what becomes of the humans who built them? In this book, Dr. Joe Chapa explores one of the most urgent and fascinating questions of our time: How can AI help us to understand our humanity?
