Nominiert für den Deutschen Sachbuchpreis 2026 Für die Philosophie gehört die Sprache zu den wichtigsten Eigenschaften des Menschen: Sie ermöglicht es, eine ganze Welt zu erschließen, Gedanken zu artikulieren, sich über Wertvorstellungen zu verständigen – und ist entscheidend für die Freiheit und Souveränität, mit denen Menschen ihr Leben führen. Was aber geschieht, wenn wir uns von einer Sprachmaschine die Welt erklären, Werte vermitteln und das Denken abnehmen lassen? Gewöhnen uns ChatGPT und Co. das Lesen, Schreiben und Denken ab? Überreden sie uns zu Ansichten, die wir gar nicht haben?

Endlessly captivating and intensely thoughtful, in The World as I See It Einstein reveals profound meditations on religion, nationalism, politics and, of course, life itself. He discusses his upbringing in Germany, as well as his concerns about the rife anti-Semitism in the country, and what he hopes the League of Nations will do to address it.

Falecido no Rio de Janeiro em 1917, o filósofo cearense Farias Brito é reconhecido no Brasil e no exterior pela excelência de sua obra. Extraídos do livro "A base física do espírito", os textos aqui reunidos abordam as então novas tentativas de localização das funções psíquicas, cunhando-se o termo "frenologia".

Why do human beings dream of flying? Not in airplanes or helicopters, but on their own—effortlessly, weightlessly, the way we do in sleep? The question “Why don’t we fly like birds?” sounds like something a child might ask on a summer afternoon, but it turns out to be one of the oldest and most persistent riddles of human existence. It is a question not merely about missing wings or inadequate muscles, but about the strange mismatch between the freedom we imagine and the bodies we inhabit.

Four thousand years ago, someone in Mohenjo-Daro carved a tiny stone seal. On it: a unicorn with muscles so finely rendered you can count the tendons, and above it, a string of mysterious signs that no one has been able to read since the city fell silent. That seal survived earthquakes, floods, and the full weight of four millennia. It looks like it was made yesterday morning. For a century, scholars tried to crack the Indus script the way you crack a code—by finding the language hidden inside. They all failed. Every last one.

Durante siglos hemos creído saber distinguir lo vivo de lo inerte. Un animal está vivo, una máquina no. Pero esa frontera empieza a desdibujarse. La inteligencia artificial, la biología sintética, la exploración del universo y los avances científicos nos están empujando hacia un territorio desconocido: uno en el que las máquinas aprenden, los sistemas evolucionan y la vida podría no ser exclusiva de lo biológico.

A data-driven, scientific account of our need for speed—exploring a wide range of topics including evolution, transportation, and technology In a world obsessed with efficiency, perhaps nothing is valued as highly as being fast. Some of our greatest achievements include building planes that...

Book twelve of fifteen for the entire set of SIC ITUR AD ASTRA (This is the Way to the Stars). Entitled V-50X: Surface the Giant!, this book is the transcript of the three-session extension of course V-50 delivered by Professor Galambos in 1976 upon realizing, “The extension to the course is necessitated by it becoming increasingly apparent that there was a problem in the course [V-50], in that there was not an adequate discussion of the second postulate of volitional science.”

You are inside the universe you are trying to understand. This single fact — so obvious it barely seems worth stating — has consequences that reach from quantum physics to the structure of your own mind. In this audiobook, Boris Kriger shows that being inside changes everything. Drawing on a monograph that proves its claims with mathematical rigour, but written entirely in words and metaphors for the non-specialist listener, The Right to Be Wrong establishes three results that overturn common assumptions about knowledge, science, and consciousness.

Viviamo in un mondo imprevedibile, pieno di contraddizioni, e navigare in questa complessità mentre cerchiamo di prendere le decisioni migliori è tutt'altro che facile. Con Le gioie della scienza, Al-Khalili ci regala otto brevi lezioni che ci avvicinano alla chiarezza, al potere e alla gioia di pensare e vivere un po' più scientificamente. È un libro che infonde fiducia e ci invita a guardare il mondo come lo vedono gli scienziati.

"A maioria das pessoas parece ter, pelo menos, uma pseudociência de estimação. Ficaremos satisfeitos, nestes casos, em plantar no mínimo uma semente de ceticismo que leve o leitor a considerar: será?” “Energias curativas, bolinhas de açúcar mágicas, terapias que invocam os antepassados e maluquices inventadas sobre o poder avassalador dos desejos inconscientes operam, todas, sob ‘leis de tapete voador’.

“Lively. . . . Rousing. . . . Prophecy—roving, intelligent, irreducibly idiosyncratic—can expand our sense of possibility, starting now.” —The New York Times Book Review Tech empires are the prophets of the modern day, and like the ancient oracles and medieval astrologers that preceded...

You chose breakfast this morning the same way you choose everything else. The same pattern you use to pick what to eat is the one you use to evaluate a career, assess a relationship, respond to a crisis, or judge an argument. You have one way of navigating trade-offs, and you apply it everywhere because inventing a new approach for every new situation would require resources no human mind possesses. This is not a flaw. It is the most efficient strategy available to any system operating with limited means in an unlimited world.

Science is the most powerful method of understanding the world that human beings have ever devised. It splits atoms, sequences genomes, and photographs black holes. But it is also performed by brains—brains that think in metaphors, organize experience into stories, and coordinate collective action through ritual. What happens when we take that fact seriously? In Science and Taboo, Boris Kriger draws on the predictive processing revolution in cognitive science to reveal the hidden architecture of scientific thought.

Across centuries, humanity has not abandoned wonder but translated it, replacing incantations with equations and rituals with methods, without dissolving the astonishment that once animated myth and faith. What appears today as advanced science often occupies the same psychological and cultural space once reserved for miracles.

What if your immune system, your cognitive biases, your society’s institutions, and the orbital mechanics of binary stars all obey the same structural rules—not by analogy, but by necessity? Most scientists climb partway up the tree of abstraction and come back with a result. Most philosophers climb to the top and never come down. This book describes what happens when someone completes the full journey: all the way up to the limit of formal generalisation, a clear look at the structural landscape, and all the way back down with a map.
