What if the most obvious things you believe… aren’t facts at all, but assumptions you’ve never questioned? Like fish unaware of the water they swim in, we move through a world shaped by invisible ideas—ideas so pervasive they feel like reality itself. In Of Geometry and Jesus, Chris Spark takes you outside the fishbowl. Moving freely across science, philosophy, religion, anthropology, and lived experience, these essays challenge the boundaries we take for granted. What if reason depends on faith? What if culture doesn’t just influence what we think—but what we actually see?

Three of the seven “prophets” presented in this audiobook—Descartes, Rousseau, and Nietzsche—provoked or facilitated, through their intellectual activity, great upheavals. The others—Pascal, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Soloviev— predicted these very upheavals but showed us the way to overcome them. If we study all seven of these philosophers in depth, we will have an easier time grasping the essence and origin of the universal drama now unfolding before our eyes and we will make wise and courageous choices for a better future.

For centuries, debates about God's existence have gone in circles. Believers and atheists argue past each other, repeating the same moves, reaching no resolution. This audiobook explains why—and offers a way forward.

What explains the existence of the world and our place in it? Is there a primal cause beyond our comprehension because our intelligence is part of the very world we seek to understand? The author asserts that such a cause exists and identifies it as what ancient Indian thinkers termed the End of Knowledge. Far from simply reporting this concept, the author develops profound insights through inspired discussions, leading to two kinds of startling conclusions. First, these insights offer a new, deeper understanding of our own nature.

Au moment où il écrit La Vie heureuse et De la Providence, Sénèque est un homme vieillissant, immensément riche, au terme d'une carrière politique et littéraire exceptionnelle. Ces deux textes prennent la forme de lettres : l'une adressée à son frère aîné, l'autre à l'un de ses plus proches disciples. Comment vivre en philosophe dans un monde où la sagesse n'est pas souveraine mais précaire ? Comment demeurer libre lorsque la fortune, le pouvoir ou la peur menacent à chaque instant de tout emporter ?

Nimble and expertly researched, The Devil’s Best Trick brilliantly melds cultural and historical commentary and a suspenseful true-crime narrative. Randall Sullivan, whose reportage and narrative skill has been called “extraordinary” and “enthralling” by Rolling Stone, takes on a bold task in this book that is both biography of the Devil and a look at how evil manifests in the world.

Für Immanuel Kant waren seine Träume und Visionen nichts weiter als Unsinn und Hirngespinste. Balzac dagegen stellte ihn in eine Reihe mit Zarathustra, Buddha und Jesus Christus. Für die Mehrheit seiner Zeit war er ein verschrobenes Original, über dessen Berichte aus der Geisterwelt sich launig spekulieren ließ. Für viele Künstler und Intellektuelle wie August Strindberg, Ralph Waldo Emerson und Jorge Luis Borges dagegen war er eine große Gestalt des 18. Jahrhunderts, dessen umfangreiches naturwissenschaftliches und theosophisches Werk man mit vorbehaltlosem Ernst sich zu erschließen habe.

All the religions of the world have a view on eternity and what you must DO to get it.

Once upon a time, philosophy was a dangerous business-and for no one more so than for Baruch Spinoza, the seventeenth-century philosopher vilified by theologians and political authorities everywhere as "the atheist Jew." As his inflammatory manuscripts circulated underground, Spinoza lived a humble existence in The Hague, grinding optical lenses to make ends meet. Meanwhile, in the glittering salons of Paris, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was climbing the ladder of courtly success.

An invitation to unravel life’s biggest mystery, “What happens after death?” Everyone has asked this question, and even if you’ve never asked it out loud, you’ve thought about it. I mean, why wouldn’t you? Death is seen as something permanent, final, and scary, but then again, the complete “silence” after death seems quite unreasonable.

Collana: Perle di saggezza. L’incontro con un Maestro è un colpo di fulmine.

Nasce integro, e in seguito si fraziona in mille identità.
