A pesar de que Jodorowsky se inició en la meditación y el estudio zen de la mano del maestro japonés Ejo Takata, la aplicación de estos conocimientos en la vida la aprendió de un reducido grupo de mujeres ("magas") que nada tenían que ver con el budismo. En este libro nos habla de la escritora y pintora surrealista Leonora Carrington; de Doña Magdalena, que le enseñó el masaje iniciático; de la poderosa actriz mexicana la Tigresa; y de Reyna D'Assia, hija del ocultista G.I. Gurdjieff. Pero en la vida del autor también hubo otras magas...

Un menú pitagórico vegano, un menú kantiano servido a la hora en punto, una comida medieval con fondo de 'Carmina Burana' o un Banquete digno del mejor Sócrates. Un ameno recorrido por lo que pensaron sobre la comida –y lo que comieron o bebieron– algunos de los filósofos más ilustres. 

Un egregio pensador de talla mundial. Filósofo, poeta, músico y filólogo alemán, es considerado uno de los pensadores modernos más influyentes del siglo XIX. Crítico y corrosivo, realizó una crítica exhaustiva de la cultura, la religión y la filosofía occidental, mediante la deconstrucción de los conceptos que las integran, basada en el análisis de las actitudes morales (positivas y negativas) hacia la vida.

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.

The author Sri "M" is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow-clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a "real-time" yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents. The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....

Returning Marx to the Victorian confines of the 19th century, Jonathan Sperber, one of the United States' leading European historians, challenges many of our misconceptions of this political firebrand turned London journalist. In this deeply humanizing portrait, Marx no longer is the Olympian soothsayer, divining the dialectical imperatives of human history, but a scholar-activist whose revolutionary Weltanschauung was closer to Robespierre's than to those of 20th-century Marxists.

Mill's autobiography deals primarily with the life of the mind - but it is a mind which ranks as one of the most remarkable and significant of the nineteenth century. The book memorably depicts the emergence of a brilliant child prodigy, the product of an extraordinary education which both hastened his development and brought him to the brink of suicide by the age of 21.

“[A] fascinating and accessible account . . . In his entertaining book, Mr. Eilenberger shows that his magicians’ thoughts are still worth collecting, even if, with hindsight, we can see that some performed too many intellectual conjuring tricks.” —Wall Street Journal A grand narrative...

'Spellbinding, elegant, and urgent . . . Held me from the first moment to the last' Katherine Rundell The great quest of Augustine's life was for truth. This was his true fire. Today, we are still the product of Augustine's thinking, only most of us don't know it. Our world is shaped by his...

Written in 2011. Every prediction has come true. In 2011, David Wortley sat down and wrote a quiet warning. He described how social media would hijack our attention, how algorithms would begin making decisions for us, how our dependency on digital technology was deepening in ways most people had not yet noticed. He called it the "boiling frog" effect — we were changing so gradually, so comfortably, that we would not realise what we had lost until it was too late. That book is this one. And it reads, in 2026, like prophecy.

Die selbst verfasste Biografie des größten Frauenhelden und Herzensbrechers der alten Zeit erstaunt durch deren Natürlichkeit und Lebendigkeit im Schreibstil.

For two and a half centuries a small confession by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing has sat quietly at the edge of Western thought. He looked across the gap between the accidents of history and the necessities of reason, and admitted he could not leap it, however earnestly he tried. He called it a broad, ugly ditch, and he asked for help crossing it. No one came. This book takes the ditch seriously and then does something Lessing did not dare. It refuses the two easy answers our age keeps offering —that the far bank is solid and knowable, or that nothing is real and everything is permitted.

The first English-language biography of Henri Bergson, the philosopher who defined individual creativity and transformed twentieth century thought. At the dawn of the twentieth century, Henri Bergson became the most famous philosopher on earth. Where prior thinkers sketched out a predictable...

Can we make ourselves into better human beings? Can we help others do the same? And can we get the leaders of our society to care that humanity prospers, not just economically, but also spiritually? These questions have been asked for over two millennia and attempting to answer them is crucial if we want to live a better life and build a more just society. How to Be Good uses the story of Socrates and Alcibiades and examples from Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius and Machiavelli, alongside modern interpretations to explore what philosophy can teach us about the quest for virtue today.
