Praxeology, the science of human action, is a lens through which truthfulness of the world is revealed. Truth goggles, if you will. Praxeology teaches us that everything going on in our society is rooted in the wills and desires of individuals. Starting from an irrefutable set of statements about human beings, we can come to conclusions about human behavior that are true regardless of what any political ideology might assert.

Philosophical Foundation argues for clarity over and against meaninglessness, which is implicit in various forms of skepticism and fideism. Throughout the book, critical analysis is applied to unexamined assumptions in the areas of metaphysics and ethics in order to address long-standing disputes.

The world's best introduction to epistemology, Understanding Knowledge discusses basic philosophical problems in epistemology.

"Warum überhaupt Wahrheit ?"– wenn, wie Nietzsche in diesem Stück aus den ›Nachgelassenen Schriften‹ betont, der Intellekt "als ein Mittel zur Erhaltung des Individuums, (...) seine Hauptkräfte in der Verstellung [entfaltet]". Auch die Sprache als vermeintliche Erfassung der Dinge beschreibt Nietzsche als vitale Illussion und ein "bewegliches Heer von Metaphern". Nebenher bereitet er hiermit die bahnbrechende Sprachkritik Wittgensteins vor.

Throughout history philosophers have sought to define, understand, and delineate concepts important to human well-being. One such concept is "knowledge." Many philosophers believed that absolute, certain knowledge, is possible—that the physical world and ideas formulated about it could be given solid foundation unaffected by the varieties of mere opinion.

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.

¿Puede la filosofía dar respuestas a los problemas de la actualidad? ¿Puede enseñarnos a pensar en la muerte al margen de nuestra angustia existencial? ¿Una perspectiva filosófica nos ayuda a ver al otro como tal? ¿Cómo pensar en el poder cuando, en realidad, el poder nos atraviesa? ¿Qué se revela cuando la filosofía cuestiona la linealidad del tiempo?

In Rules, historian Lorraine Daston traces their development in the Western tradition and shows how rules have evolved from ancient to modern times. Drawing on a rich trove of examples, including legal treatises, cookbooks, military manuals, traffic regulations, and game handbooks, Daston demonstrates that while the content of rules is dazzlingly diverse, the forms that they take are surprisingly few and long-lived.

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.

Conjectures and Refutations is one of Karl Popper’s most wide-ranging and popular works, notable not only for its acute insights into the way scientific knowledge grows, but also for applying those insights to politics and to history. It provides one of the clearest and most accessible statements of the fundamental idea that guided his work: not only our knowledge but our aims and our standards grow through an unending process of trial and error.

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.

Seeking Truth looks at both the philosophical and practical issues of truth to understand how we come to know what we know and why we disagree so much. More importantly, it lays out how we can disagree in ways that avoid division and polarization and instead move to build a consensus on the truth. Seeking Truth addresses things like how to think about what you believe, how to handle disagreement and errors positively, how do you know if you are open-minded, and how to make better decisions.

La filosofía de la terapia es una indagación critica acerca de las razones y creencias para que los terapeutas de todas modalidades hagan lo que hacen como lo hacen. Esta obra fue concebida como una invitación para que terapeutas y filósofos dialoguen acerca de la verdadera naturaleza y propósito para la terapia. De suma importancia filosófica también son las justificaciones utilizadas no solamente en la práctica de la terapia, pero también en la formación de nuevos profesionales.

Back in the 1980s, I used to write articles for Fate Magazine, adding a little extra money to my teaching job at Warren College as I was attending graduate school at the University of California, San Diego. Eventually, I was asked to become a part-time book reviewer for the publication. It was a great gig since they would send me the latest books that they received in the office. Most of the texts dealt with excursions into the paranormal—ranging from Edgar Cayce readings to near-death experiences.

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.  

Recent years have seen rapid advances in 'artificial' intelligence, which increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined. At the same time, we are becoming more aware of the other intelligences which have been with us all along, unrecognised. These other beings are the animals, plants and natural systems that surround us, and are slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours.

Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason is a core text of modern philosophy. Presenting an examination of the nature of human reason, its central argument is that the way in which man perceives his environment is a direct consequence of the mind’s ability to act on this environment and convert it into something meaningful. The work brings together two opposing schools of philosophy—rationalism and empiricism—and proposes a third way, which came to be known as transcendental idealism. The work proved to be hugely influential, not least on Marx, Heidegger and Nietzsche.
