Albert Bandura’s ideas about the methods people use to avoid feeling guilty about harming others have led to valuable insights about many forms of mass violence, from wartime atrocities to terrorism and genocide. Happy Meat, Humane Animal Research, and Other Myths applies these insights to another form of mass violence: the many ways people harm animals. Each of the first eight chapters discusses how people use a particular method of moral disengagement to feel better about harming animals.

The Weight of Responsibility explores one of the most overlooked forces shaping human life: responsibility. Rather than treating responsibility as a moral duty or social expectation, this book examines it as the foundation of strength, freedom, meaning, and stability. It shows how the willingness to carry responsibility influences personal decisions, relationships, long-term happiness, and the direction of one’s life. Through clear and grounded reflection, the book reveals why avoidance leads to confusion and weakness, while responsibility creates coherence, resilience, and inner power.

What does it truly mean to live a meaningful life? Rather than presenting Frankl’s ideas as abstract theory, Viktor Frankl Dictionary unfolds them as living concepts rooted in freedom, responsibility, suffering, dignity, and the irreducible human search for meaning.

There is a sign on a wall at LaGuardia Community College in Queens, mounted above a narrow shelf. The sign bears the universal symbol for Deaf access. The shelf once held a TTY, a text telephone that gave Deaf people their first access to instantaneous distance communication. The TTY is gone. The smartphone replaced it. The sign is still there, pointing to something that no longer exists. That empty shelf is the governing image of this book, because the pattern it represents is the story of every technology Western civilization has worshipped for the past century. Something arrives.

Considerada uma das escolas filosóficas mais importantes da história, o estoicismo encontra-se mais vivo do que nunca nos dias de hoje. Para os estoicos, como Epicteto, Marco Aurélio e Sêneca, a busca da felicidade consiste em livrar-se das impressões apaixonadas dos sentidos e das emoções por meio do fortalecimento da vontade e da racionalidade. Antes, porém, de adentrar essa busca da virtude e prática da liberdade, é preciso conhecer seus pilares.

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.
