His passion for liberty and integrity in science is evident.

Im vierten Teil seiner "Geschichte der abendländischen Philosophie" führt August Messer in bündiger und verständlicher Art und Weise in die Philosophien von Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling und Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel ein - also in die Gedankenwelten jener Philosophen, die seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts als "Deutscher Idealismus" in einen Zusammenhang zueinander gebracht werden, welcher der Eigenständigkeit ihrer philosophischen Systeme nicht in jedem Falle gerecht wird.

Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant.

In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech.

When Thomas Aquinas addressed the best arguments against God in his masterwork, the Summa Theologica, he listed only two. The first was the problem of evil: How can God—who is perfectly good—exist alongside that which is against Him? His second: Is God needed to explain the world? Patrick Flynn presents the best arguments for God while also addressing the strongest objections. This book is destined to become the apologetic gold standard for defending classical theism against atheistic naturalism.

Crítica a una generación egoísta que prefirió el «yo» al «nosotros» No vengo a decirte que el porvenir es brillante ni que vamos encaminados a una vida de felicidad y prosperidad. Tampoco vengo a alabar estas soledades en las que vivimos, sino a señalar el callejón sin salida del que...

This urgent and eye-opening book makes the case that protecting humanity's future is the central challenge of our time. If all goes well, human history is just beginning. Our species could survive for billions of years - enough time to end disease, poverty, and injustice, and to flourish in ways unimaginable today. But this vast future is at risk. With the advent of nuclear weapons, humanity entered a new age, where we face existential catastrophes - those from which we could never come back.

Divine Love and Wisdom has been called the most profound work of the Enlightenment scientist and seer Emanuel Swedenborg. It demonstrates how God's love, wisdom, and humanity are reflected in creation and in ourselves, and suggests that the act of creation is not a mystery of the past, but a miracle ongoing in every instant of the present. Like a blueprint of things unseen, Divine Love and Wisdom makes visible the hidden design of the universe, as well as the qualities of its architect.

Science is the most powerful method of understanding the world that human beings have ever devised. It splits atoms, sequences genomes, and photographs black holes. But it is also performed by brains—brains that think in metaphors, organize experience into stories, and coordinate collective action through ritual. What happens when we take that fact seriously? In Science and Taboo, Boris Kriger draws on the predictive processing revolution in cognitive science to reveal the hidden architecture of scientific thought.

What if psychology’s greatest problem is not lack of data—but lack of structure? Psychology: A Constraint-First Ontology offers a radical yet accessible rethinking of the human mind. Drawing on systems theory, neuroscience, trauma research, and philosophy of science, this book proposes a unifying framework in which mental life is understood as the dynamic stabilization of constraints. Rather than treating disorders as isolated pathologies or the mind as a hidden substance, this work reframes identity, emotion, trauma, and healing as structural processes of coherence, collapse, and repair.

Every lie constructs a world. For as long as it is believed, that world is as real as any other, shaping decisions, emotions, and the trajectory of lives. In this deeply personal and intellectually ambitious book, Boris Kriger dismantles our assumptions about deception and rebuilds them from the ground up, revealing lying not as a simple moral failing but as a structural feature of how information moves between minds, whether those minds are human or artificial.
