A 101 guide for psychics and energy workers to build an authentic, equitable, and culturally sensitive healing practice, written by Afro-Indigenous intuitive, scholar, and healer Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest.

Autonomy is either relational or it does not exist at all. Absolute individualism is a mental construct abstracted from an irreducibly relational biosphere. Human life finds itself in and is realized by relationships with other beings. This book gazes on the fact that individualism is irredeemably contingent on relationality. Significant as self-consciousness is, consciousness of the other as a fellow self is a higher consciousness. It is the consciousness of the other selves that is the basis of ethics and morality.

Il capolavoro di Platone sul processo a Socrate in una nuova edizione audio, completa di introduzione e struttura del testo per fissare i punti fondamentali e comprendere tutti gli argomenti trattati. Un’opera cruciale per la storia del pensiero occidentale. Un’opera che svela la radiante figura di Socrate, l’incarnazione dell’uomo greco al suo massimo grado. Un’opera ancora attualissima che dopo 2500 continua a farci riflettere e interrogare sui suoi argomenti cruciali: cosa significa essere cittadini, cosa significa la politica, cosa significa agire moralmente.

What’s the big idea? To Socrates, living according to his values was more important than life itself. Plato’s Apology is in three parts: Socrates’ personal defense in his trial for impiety and corrupting the young, his plea before being sentenced, and his address to the jurors after he was condemned to death. This book includes an introduction, telling who Socrates was and how he came to be on trial for his life before his fellow Athenians.

Le savoir-vivre existe dans toutes les cultures et à toutes les époques. À l'heure des " incivilités ", la politesse reste une valeur phare dans les sondages. Preuve s'il en est de son utilité et de son actualité. Elle ne se réduit pas à une suite de prescriptions. Système de valeurs fondé sur le respect, la reconnaissance et la réciprocité, elle permet à chacun de trouver sa place, de défendre son image et de construire son identité.

What’s the big idea? Former slave Epictetus argues that since we cannot control the external world, true freedom comes from the reasoned control of one’s own desires and passions. This is the core of Stoic thought that Epictetus taught in Western Greece about AD 100. Stoicism became the dominant moral philosophy of the Hellenistic and Roman world, and Epictetus became its dominant and most respected teacher. Though Epictetus wrote nothing that has survived, writer Arrian attended his lectures and took those notes that preserved Epictetus’ teachings.

Gehörte der "Menon" in der Antike zu einem der viel gelesenen und ausgedeuteten Dialoge Platons, zählt er heute eher zu den weniger bekannten Dialogen. Dabei enthält er viele wesentliche Aussagen Platons zu Erkenntnistheorie, Heuristik, Ethik und Seinslehre. Im "Menon" veranschaulicht uns Platon, wie all diese Bereiche, die heute gern getrennt voneinander gelehrt und erforscht werden, bei ihm noch unzertrennbar zusammengehören. Paraphrasierend könnte man mit Platons "Menon" sagen: "Ja, Tugend ist lehrbar.

The world's best introduction to philosophy, Knowledge, Reality, and Value explains basic philosophical problems in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics, such as: How can we know about the world outside our minds? Is there a God? Do we have free will? Are there objective values? What distinguishes right actions from wrong actions? The text clearly explains the most important arguments about these things, and it does so a lot less boringly than most books written by professors.

Seneca (1 – 65 n. Chr.) war mehr als nur ein Philosoph: er war Staatsmann und Erzieher des despotischen Kaisers Nero. Wenn Seneca, Hauptvertreter der Denkrichtung der Stoa, praktische Lebenstipps erteilt, weiß er genau, wovon er spricht. Seneca weiß: ein gutes, glückliches und sinnvolles Leben ist möglich. Hier enthalten: Vom glücklichen Leben, Von der Kürze des Lebens, Von der Gemütsruhe, Vom Zorn.

What’s the big idea? Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius believed that in a palace or a soldiers’ camp one can live a life free of envy and desire, neither pursuing pleasure nor fearing pain as one performs the duties life has assigned. I have worked to make his Meditations as understandable as possible. By the end of the book, the emperor’s philosophy will be crystal clear. So please travel back almost 2,000 years ago and join Marcus Aurelius as sits in his camp in the evening meditating on life.

What is true happiness? Is it achievable? That is the subject of a new book titled Happiness Is a Choice, written by Julia Richard. The book is both a discourse on the nature of happiness and a practical guide for increasing happiness in your life. So many of us go through life feeling miserable and do not understand why. Even when we succeed at something, we still feel like a failure. Happiness Is a Choice will show you that happiness really is a possibility and there are practical steps for getting there.

Disponer de cualidades como la perseverancia, la integridad, la seguridad, el sentido del humor, la superación o la confianza nos ayuda a vivir mejor. Pero la pregunta que surge es: ¿cómo conseguirlo? ¿Por dónde comenzar a forjarnos un buen carácter? ¿Cómo conocer nuestras virtudes y nuestros defectos? Los grandes filósofos de la Antigüedad coincidían en la fórmula para potenciar el carácter: conocerse a sí mismo y conocerse para ser uno mismo, para entender lo que somos y lo que podemos dar.

"First and Last Things" is a 1908 work of philosophy by H. G. Wells setting forth his beliefs in four "books" entitled "Metaphysics," "Of Belief," "Of General Conduct," and "Some Personal Things." Parts of the book were published in the "Independent Magazine" in July and August 1908. Wells revised the book extensively in 1917, in response to his religious conversion, but later published a further revision in 1929 that restored much of the book to its earlier form. Its main intellectual influences are Darwinism and certain German thinkers Wells had read, such as August Weismann.

Therapy is a dialogue. The first two chapters of this small book are an inquiry into the nature of psychotherapy, an asymmetric dialogue, where one person, the therapist, literally attends to another. Weaving together overlapping perspectives from Emmanuel Levinas, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Martin Buber, Amdur asserts that the greatest gifts of therapy arise from a fundamental estrangement from each other. The realization of this unbridgeable distance, however close we may be, is a profound shock that gives birth to a genuine relationship.

Da sempre gli esseri umani hanno utilizzato diversi metodi per diventare moralmente più buoni, più giusti e più altruisti, come hanno insegnato Socrate, Gesù e Gandhi: l'educazione, l'autodisciplina, le letture edificanti, la conoscenza. Metodi talvolta efficaci, talvolta insufficienti. In futuro, la genetica, le neuroscienze e la farmacologia potrebbero consentirci di intervenire sulla natura biologica degli esseri umani, potenziando le disposizioni morali perché agiscano con maggiore generosità, compassione, altruismo, empatia.

This revolutionary treatise starts from one fundamental premise: that our phenomenal consciousness includes direct experience of value. For too long, ethical theorists have looked for value in external states of affairs or reduced value to a projection of the mind onto them. The result, unsurprisingly, is widespread antirealism about ethics. In this book, Sharon Hewitt Rawlette turns our metaethical gaze inward and dares us to consider that value, rather than being something “out there”, is a quality woven into the very fabric of our conscious experience, in a highly objective way.

"Human, all-too-Human", is the monument of a crisis. It is entitled: 'A book for free spirits,' and almost every line in it represents a victory—in its pages I freed myself from everything foreign to my real nature. Idealism is foreign to me: the title says, 'Where you see ideal things, I see things which are only—human alas! all-too-human!' I know man better—the term 'free spirit' must here be understood in no other sense than this: a freed man, who has once more taken possession of himself.

O estoicismo, a escola filosófica mais influente do Império Romano, oferece formas surpreendentemente atuais de fortalecer nosso caráter em um mundo cada vez mais caótico e imprevisível. Reconhecido como o filósofo mais talentoso e humano da tradição estoica, Sêneca nos ensina a levar uma vida boa e com propósito.

What if we lived in a world that revolved around quality of life, rather than economic winners and losers? In Person to Person, Joeri Torfs and Pim Ampe describe this world and chart a clear path toward it. Grounded in research and rooted in reality, the world they describe is neither a utopia nor a fantasy. They present an environment that incentivizes goodness, fairness, sustainability, and freedom. It begins with the individual and moves toward our collaborative relationships.

Selbsterkenntnis ist der erste Schritt zur Weisheit auf Wegen des Zweifels, der Irrtümer, des Staunens und der Überraschungen. Unterwegs auf diesem Weg begegnen wir uns selbst. Als Wegbegleiter hören wir: "Was ist Aufklärung?" (I. Kant), "Essais"(M. de Montagne), "Von der Gemütsruhe" (Seneca), "Über Wahrheit und Lüge im außenmoralischen Sinn" (F. Nietzsche), "Gespräche" (Konfuzius).
