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.

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 never been more hotly debated. Disparities explores contemporary 'negative' philosophies from Catherine Malabou's plasticity, Julia Kristeva's abjection and Robert Pippin's self-consciousness to the God of negative theology, new realisms and post-humanism and draws a radical line under them.

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.

...habe gerade Kafka-Dub gehört: Zuerst dachte ich: 42, du weißt schon, Douglas Adams, dann war ich ganz bei meinem Jahr mit Milton: Paradise Lost, dann beim Zenmeister und seiner berühmten Aufgabe, mit einer Hand zu klatschen, und zum Ende hin fragte ich mich, wie das wohl zu Ende gehen kann: Haus, Tisch, warten, allein, Welt, Dub, Dub, Dub... Kafka Dub ist ein Hörbuchprojekt zu Franz Kafkas Zürauer Aphorismen, die nach Kafkas Tod von seinem besten Freund Max Brod als Betrachtungen über Sünde, Leid, Hoffnung und den wahren Weg veröffentlicht wurden und will eine neue Perspektive auf Kafkas zeitloses Werk finden.

Daily we overlook fundamental simplicities. There are some fascinating things about how things got so easy. This book explores some interesting and captivating history behind everyday things that simplify our lives immensely. Why is your keyboard QWERTY? Why do we have 24 hours in a day and 12 months in a year? To highlight the importance of these simplicities, the book contrasts the daily lives of people who live in Anarcha, where there is no agreed-upon clock, calendar, unit of measurement, et cetera.

In 2011, Emerick, an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church and a licensed clinical social worker, embarked on a self-directed study to educate himself about the nation's principal political disputes. He discovered that America's dominant political and economic theories...are... pitting the demands of the individual against the needs of the community. But in the Constitution's preamble... the concerns of individual liberty and the general welfare are given equal weight, and a more equitable national philosophy will...combine the two.

This book is a distillation of the author's reflections on decades of clinical experience and much travelling around the world. He tries to convey a lot in as few words as possible. It is hoped that each maxim will be the stimulus to deep refection on the part of the listener.

This book is an exploration of original, critical, and creative thinking through the lens of my creative philosophy. It delves into the very essence of what it means to be human and provides a rational, abstract, and methodical examination of reality. Philosophy, the love of wisdom, is the guiding principle behind this journey of reflection, self-expression, and enlightenment. THINK is a bold and inspiring call to free our minds and embrace original thinking.

In "Life is real only then, when I am" Gurdjieff gives answers to the fundamental human questions: how do I really live and what are the requirements to lead a real life? What is reality? What is existence? Has every man a given I or what must he do to acquire a real I? First of all, we have to accept that we are not awake, but asleep. The vast majority of mankind never awakens through its whole life. Only those are given the chance to become awake, who fight for it with their whole hearts and beings.

Though born to a poor but pious family of ribbon weavers in Saxony in 1762, Johann Gottlieb's exceptional intelligence was apparent from an early age. Remarkably, from this humble background, he earned himself a respected place in the pantheon of late 18th and early 19th century German philosophers. In the 20th and 21st century, his importance and contribution to Western philosophy has been increasingly acknowledged. There are two substantial lecture series and one essay stemming from his time in Berlin in Popular Works Volume 2: much of Fichte's important work appeared initially in lectures.

Wie gewinne ich ein Streitgespräch? Unter den deutschen Philosophen nimmt Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) die Rolle eines Idealisten ein, der von Platon und Kant zu seiner eigenen Erkenntnistheorie fand. Wie man aus Streitgesprächen als Sieger hervorgeht, das ist das Kernthema des vorliegenden Werkes. Eristische Dialektik, das ist die Technik des Diskutierens, und mit seinen 38 rhetorischen Kunstgriffen, die Schopenhauer präsentiert, soll jede Debatte gewonnen werden können. Gefunden wurde das fertige Manuskript ohne Überschriften im Nachlass Schopenhauers.

Matthew Syed traces the origins and evolution of the word 'woke’ Once a watchword for African Americans in the early 1900s, 'woke' is now used as an insult across the political spectrum, and it has become synonymous with our era of angry debate. As the word has spread, what people mean by it...

David Hume (1711-1776) remains a major figure in British philosophy, particularly for two or three works, including A Treatise on Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. But he was also a prolific essayist and historian. During his lifetime Essays Moral, Political and Literary went through a number of editions and collections, far outselling his philosophy. Now, the situation is reversed. But listening to the essays today it is difficult to see why. 

У своїх творах Сковорода оспiвав природу України, її працьовитих людей, прагнення до щастя й волi, висмiяв панiв за їх паразитизм, за знущання з народу. А ще вiн проголосив людину та її волю найвищою цiннiстю. високоосвіченою людиною свого часу, його геній зростав на народному грунті. Ще за життя Сковороду називали "українським Сократом", "українським Горацiєм", бо вiн значно розвинув на Українi фiлософiю, лiтературу, педагогiку. У своїх творах Сковорода оспiвав природу України, її працьовитих людей, прагнення до щастя й волi, висмiяв панiв за їх паразитизм, за знущання з народу.

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.

A landmark of Enlightenment thought, Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is accompanied here by two shorter works that shed light on it: A Letter from a Gentleman to His Friend in Edinburgh, Hume's response to those accusing him of atheism, of advocating extreme skepticism, and of undermining the foundations of morality; and his Abstract of A Treatise of Human Nature, which anticipates discussions developed in the Enquiry.

El dinero es uno de los pilares de la sociedad tal y como la conocemos. Todos lo utilizamos cotidianamente sin que su empleo presuponga ningún conocimiento específico en materia económica; y sin embargo, para entender qué es el dinero y cómo funciona es preciso recurrir a la filosofía, más aún cuando las crisis y las transformaciones históricas que estamos viviendo imponen una reflexión profunda sobre su papel en el mundo contemporáneo.

Children, if they are to grow up as citizens, must learn a good deal that their parents could not teach them even if they had the necessary time. The statesman must make provision for this teaching or he will presently find himself faced with the impossible task of maintaining civilization with savages instead of citizens

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.

Nietzsche, um crítico mordaz da cultura ocidental, defende neste livro a tese de que os pensadores anteriores a Platão foram os únicos a compreender a dimensão trágica das forças que regem a vida dos homens (trata-se de um dos textos mais importantes sobre a filosofia pré-socrática). Se costumamos atribuir a Sócrates o início da filosofia, Nietzsche sugere, aqui, que talvez ela tenha justamente terminado com ele.

È da un inciampo che il filosofo Maurizio Ferraris parte per ragionare attorno all’esistenza, alla stratificazione di esperienze e memorie che sono il modo in cui ciascuno di noi impara a vivere. Vivere, sopravvivere, previvere, convivere sono le stazioni attraverso cui questo libro ci fa passare per riflettere su un mélange di argomenti che ruotano attorno alla vita e a come si possa imparare a vivere. Se lo spunto è una battuta d’arresto accidentale, capillare, profonda e non casuale è la considerazione della propria intera esistenza, della piega che ha preso nel tempo.

Arthur Schopenhauer - Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung Band 2 – Die Ergänzungen zum zweiten Buch des ersten Bandes. Mit ebenso großer Klarheit und Eleganz wie im 1. Band seines Hauptwerks setzt Arthur Schopenhauer auch im 2. Band von Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung seine pessimistisch-voluntaristische Metaphysik des Lebens fort, wobei er, direkt Bezug nehmend auf Paragrafen des 1. Bandes, zentrale Gedanken seiner Philosophie weiter vertieft und um mehr als nur perspektivische Facetten bereichert.

Alman filozof Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche'nin yasa koyucu bir peygamber gibi imgeleştirerek konuşturduğu Zerdüşt, insanı ve doğasını anlama adına okuru benzersiz bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor. Etrafındakilere, Nietzsche felsefesinin yapıtaşlarından biri olan “Üstinsan”ı ve “Üstinsan” olma yolunda atılacak adımları gösteriyor. Düşünsel bir sorgulama sürecine giren ve kendine insan olmanın doğası üzerine sorular soran her okur, Böyle Buyurdu Zerdüşt'te aradığı cevapları bulacak. “Yaratıcı, kendisinden uzaklaşmak istiyordu; o zaman dünyayı yarattı.”

Henry Thoreau’nun tüketici kültürüne yönelttiği ateşli eleştiriler ve daha basit yaşamayı şairane bir şekilde savunması tam da içinde yaşadığımız aşırı tüketim çağına ithaf edilmiş gibi duruyor. Ne var ki, Thoreau okunması kolay bir yazar değildir. Ağır bir dili vardır fikirlerini de oldukça zorlayıcı, kışkırtıcı bir biçimde ifade eder. Bu nedenle de yazılarına öylesine göz gezdiren bir okur Thoreau’yu okumaktan kolayca vazgeçebilir. Oysa fikirleri kaçırılmayacak kadar değerlidir. Bu kitap, Thoreau’nun gönüllü sadelik felsefesine derin ancak ulaşılabilir bir kaynak işlevi görmektedir.

Usta oyuncu Rüştü Asyalı'dan konuşma üstüne, dinleme üstüne, aşk üstüne, Türkçemiz üstüne düşünce ve saptamalar.

İlk defa 1882'de RusskajaMyslj adlı bir dergide yayınlanan İtiraflarım adlı bu eseri Tolstoy, elli yaşında geçirdiği manevi krizden sonra kaleme almıştır. İçine düştüğü bu kriz sonrasında aradığı kurtuluş yollarını ve bu sırada geçirdiği fikri, ahlaki ve dini gelişmeleri anlatır. Tolstoy, eninde sonunda ölecek olduğu bu hayatın anlamını bulmaya çalışır. İnsanlığın yaratılıştan beri sorduğu Ben neden varım?, Hayatın anlamı ne?, Ölümlü dünyada tüm bu çaba niye? sorularına cevap arar. Bu anlam arayışı önce bilimle başlar. Fakat bilimin verdiği cevaplardan tatmin olmaz ve felsefeye yönelir.

Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Gerade wegen der Zeitlosigkeit und Aktualität seiner Schriften haben es keinerlei Gruppierungen jeglicher Art versäumt, sich schamlos an aus dem Zusammenhang gerissenen Formulierungen Nietzsches zu bedienen und auf ihre Fahnen zu schmieren.

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.
