Bellicosity: A World at War with ItselfIn a world where every disagreement feels like a battle and every conversation is a potential minefield, Bellicosity: A World at War with Itself exposes the unseen forces fueling conflict in modern society.

Pleasure feels amazing! Anxiety, however, does not. The Ancient Greek Philosopher Epicurus rolled these two strikingly intuitive claims into a simple formula for happiness and well-being—pursue pleasure without causing yourself anxiety. But wait, is that even possible? Can humans achieve lasting pleasure without suffering anxiety about failure and loss? Epicurus thinks we can, at least once we learn to pursue pleasure thoughtfully.

The Shape of Change introduces Dynamic Materialism and Adaptive Realism as two interwoven ways of understanding how living, technological, and social systems evolve within a world that is constantly shifting. Dynamic Materialism looks to the physical and structural forces that shape behavior, tracing the feedback loops, constraints, and emergent patterns that guide the growth of ecosystems, economies, and technologies.

What does it mean to know something? Can we have confidence in our knowledge? Epistemology, the study of knowledge, can often seem like a daunting subject. And yet few topics are more basic to human life. We are inquisitive creatures by nature, and the unending quest for truth leads us to raise difficult questions about the quest itself. What are the conditions, sources, and limits of our knowledge? Do our beliefs need to be rationally justified? Can we have certainty? In this primer on epistemology, James Dew and Mark Foreman guide readers through this discipline in philosophy.

'Thinking' is what we use to navigate life. It is the lens through which we see the world. Thoughts determine the quality of our lives; they determine its problems and its achievements, Work, success, relationships, happiness, everything depends on the way we think. Yet, have we ever investigated it? Why is our life the way it is? Have we searched for the answers in our own thoughts? This book analyses thoughts through an interesting amalgamation of such diverse subjects as Indian epistemology, Vedanta and mythology: and Western psychology, logic and literature.

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.

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.

Nesta obra, Nietzsche investiga o alcance efetivo da linguagem, sobre a qual se assenta todo o conhecimento da civilização ocidental. Para ele, a confiança do homem moderno no poder das palavras se funda no esquecimento de algo que era evidente quando as criou: elas são apenas uma metáfora para as coisas e jamais poderiam encarnar o seu significado.Esta obra foi ditada pelo autor a um amigo no verão de 1873, mas só foi publicada após a sua morte. A presente edição contém ainda uma seleta oportuna de Fragmentos póstumos.
