Worldwide, more people die by suicide than by murder, and many more are left behind to grieve. Despite distressing statistics that show suicide rates rising, the subject, long a taboo, is infrequently talked about. In this sweeping intellectual and cultural history, poet and historian Jennifer Michael Hecht channels her grief for two friends lost to suicide into a search for history’s most persuasive arguments against the irretrievable act, arguments she hopes to bring back into public consciousness.

Darf man im Notfall lügen? Etwa um einen Mord zu verhindern? Stellen Sie sich vor, ein Kopfgeldjäger frage Sie, ob der von ihm Verfolgte zu Hause sei. Wäre es hier nicht angemessen, ihn durch eine Falschaussage in die Irre zu führen? Nein, argumentiert Immanuel Kant in seinem kontroversen Essay "Über ein vermeintes Recht aus Menschenliebe zu lügen" (1797). Die Pflicht der Wahrhaftigkeit gilt unbedingt.

In this lively and illuminating discussion of his landmark research, esteemed primatologist Frans de Waal argues that human morality is not imposed from above but instead comes from within. Moral behavior does not begin and end with religion but is in fact a product of evolution. For many years, de Waal has observed chimpanzees soothe distressed neighbors and bonobos share their food. Now he delivers fascinating fresh evidence for the seeds of ethical behavior in primate societies that further cements the case for the biological origins of human fairness.

La genealogía de la moral de Friedrich Nietzsche no es un libro de autoayuda en el sentido clásico, pero puede convertirse en una poderosa herramienta de transformación personal si se lee con una mirada introspectiva. En esta obra, Nietzsche cuestiona el origen de nuestros valores morales y nos impulsa a examinar si vivimos bajo principios propios o simplemente heredados.

How to Have Willpower brings together two profound ancient meditations on how to overcome pressures that encourage us to act against our own best interests—Plutarch's essay On Dysopia or How to Resist Pressure and Prudentius's poetic allegory Psychomachia or How to Slay Your Demons. Challenging the idea that humans are helpless victims of vice, these works—introduced and presented in vivid, accessible new prose translations by Michael Fontaine—emphasize the power of personal choice and the possibility of personal growth, as they offer insights and practical advice about resisting temptation.

Con metáforas como el paso del camello al león y luego al niño, Nietzsche traza un camino interior: primero obedecemos, luego nos rebelamos, y finalmente creamos con libertad. Esta evolución es clave para cualquiera que quiera tomar las riendas de su vida. Así habló Zaratustra no es un manual, sino un espejo: desafía, sacude y transforma. En tiempos de ruido superficial, este libro sigue siendo un llamado valiente a vivir desde la verdad personal y la afirmación profunda de la vida.

A modern translation of the philosophical classic—A necessary companion for a living a more present, intentional, and virtuous life—one full of gratitude for who we are and who we have yet to become.

Understated that who I am is not important, However, what I say is! Neither am I here to become famous, I am just here to inform you. I am about to take You through "Your Dark" and switch the light on!

Una Ciudad Ideal, aunque menos conocida que otras obras de Julio Verne, no es solo una fantasía arquitectónica o social. Es un retrato profundo de un anhelo humano eterno: crear un entorno en armonía con los valores más elevados del espíritu. En este relato, Verne nos presenta la visión de una ciudad perfectamente organizada, donde la belleza, el orden, el progreso y la justicia son principios rectores. A primera vista, parece una utopía urbana, pero en un plano más simbólico, representa la búsqueda interior de una vida equilibrada, coherente y auténtica.

En Sobre la Amistad, el gran orador y filósofo romano Marco Tulio Cicerón no solo reflexiona sobre la importancia de la amistad en la vida humana, sino que ofrece principios atemporales para construir relaciones profundas, honestas y duraderas. Lejos de ser un tratado teórico, este texto es una guía espiritual para quienes desean vivir con mayor sentido, autenticidad y conexión. Cicerón nos recuerda que la verdadera amistad no nace del interés, sino de la virtud compartida.

Derek Parfit (1942–2017) is the most famous philosopher most people have never heard of. Widely regarded as one of the greatest moral thinkers of the past hundred years, Parfit was anything but a public intellectual. Yet his ideas have shaped the way philosophers think about things that affect us all: equality, altruism, what we owe to future generations, and even what it means to be a person. In Parfit, David Edmonds presents the first biography of an intriguing, obsessive, and eccentric genius.

In this thought-provoking new book, the Dalai Lama argues that religion is not a necessity for pursuing a spiritual life. Rather, focusing on tolerance and understanding between religions, as well as tolerance and understanding between believers (of any faith) and non-believers is the way forward. The way to achieve such an approach, he proposes, is through a system of secular ethics grounded in a deep appreciation of our common humanity.

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.

El Arte de la Prudencia es un tratado de Baltasar Gracián, compuesto por 300 máximas que ofrecen consejos sobre cómo tomar decisiones sabias y vivir con prudencia. Gracián destaca la importancia de la prudencia no solo como una virtud moral, sino como una habilidad esencial para navegar la vida cotidiana, tomando decisiones estratégicas, equilibradas y reflexivas.

«Más allá del bien y del mal» es uno de los textos fundamentales de la filosofía del siglo XIX del filósofo alemán Friedrich Nietzsche. En este libro, retoma elementos e ideas de Así habló Zaratustra, presentando un tratamiento de los mismos completamente distinto. Entre ambas obras hay un reajuste de ideas: el paso del símbolo al concepto, de la confianza a la sospecha, de la lejanía a la óptica microscópica resaltando la miseria.

In Love Fiercely, a Catholic father offers prayerful insight into the experience of raising and loving his eldest daughter. Elizabeth Bodoh is nearly blind, nonverbal, suffers from epilepsy and cerebral palsy, and loves music. She enjoys cuddles and eating.

Magnus Vinding provides a comprehensive review of the many reasons to stop supporting the animal industry, and to instead transition toward a system that is less harmful for both human and non-human beings.
