なぜ私たちはあの人の論破にだまされるのか。事実と物語は混ぜるな危険！陰謀論とフェイクが溢れる世界で生き抜く「武器としての思考法」。文明を築くのに一役を買ったストーリーテリング。

Dans Les deux sources de la morale et de la religion, son dernier grand livre (1932), Bergson ne se contente pas d'établir la distinction entre le clos et l'ouvert comme critère absolu, en morale, mais aussi en religion (et même dans chaque religion) et en politique. Il en recherche le double fondement, dans la structure immuable de notre espèce, d'un côté dans les actes imprévisibles des grands hommes de bien ou des mystiques, de l'autre.

What is economic growth? And why, historically, has it occurred in only a few places? Previous efforts to answer these questions have focused on institutions, geography, finances, and psychology. But according to MIT's anti-disciplinarian César Hidalgo, understanding the nature of economic growth demands transcending the social sciences and including the natural sciences of information, networks, and complexity. To understand the growth of economies, Hidalgo argues, we first need to understand the growth of order.

L'inizio del nuovo millennio coincide con l'espansione della galassia di pratiche e studi psicologici: sempre meno psicanalisi, sempre più indirizzi psicoterapeutici. E le neuroscienze, pur avendo conosciuto un incredibile sviluppo, continuano a adottare un atteggiamento funzionalista che si rivela ineffi cace nell'affrontare il disagio esistenziale e psicologico, mai come oggi così diffuso e capillare.

How much can we know about the world? In this audiobook physicist Marcelo Gleiser traces our search for answers to the most fundamental questions of existence, the origin of the universe, the nature of reality, and the limits of knowledge. In so doing he reaches a provocative conclusion: Science, like religion, is fundamentally limited as a tool for understanding the world. As science and its philosophical interpretations advance, we face the unsettling recognition of how much we don't know.

Beginning with a detailed discussion of the role of mathematics and experimentation in validating generalizations in physics-looking closely at the reasoning of scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Lavoisier, and Maxwell-Harriman skillfully argues that the inductive method used in philosophy is in principle indistinguishable from the method used in physics.

We used to know how to know. We got our answers from books or experts. We'd nail down the facts and move on. But in the Internet age, knowledge has moved onto networks. There's more knowledge than ever, of course, but it's different. Topics have no boundaries, and nobody agrees on anything.Yet this is the greatest time in history to be a knowledge seeker - if you know how.

A compelling investigation into one of our most coveted and cherished ideals, and the efforts of modern science to penetrate the mysterious nature of this timeless virtue. We all recognize wisdom, but defining it is more elusive. In this fascinating journey from philosophy to science, Stephen S. Hall gives us a dramatic history of wisdom, from its sudden emergence in four different locations (Greece, China, Israel, and India) in the fifth century B.C. to its modern manifestations.

L'uomo è un essere intelligente. Nel dizionario di Oxford l'intelligenza viene definita come "la capacità di acquisire e applicare conoscenze e competenze complesse". Se prendiamo per buona questa definizione, possiamo essere certi che l'essere umano, per come lo conosciamo, verrà presto superato dagli algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale. Le nostre forme sociali camminano al di fuori dell'ordine dell'intelligenza possibile all'uomo.
