Even the most reasonable of us can be selective about when we think reasonably. We may realize that the best thing to do is to take the advice of our doctor when facing a medical issue. When shopping for a new car or appliance we might carefully assess online reviews and weigh our options calmly before making an informed decision. But when it comes to things that feel more fraught, we might throw this approach out the window, dismissing facts and patterns that form a body of evidence, and trust our gut.

Le plus souvent associée à une certaine forme d'individualisme, voire d'inhumanité, l'indifférence est très souvent considérée comme un défaut majeur. Elle est bien souvent un gage du respect d'autrui et de sa liberté, le contre-poison à la curiosité malsaine et à toutes les formes d'hostilités qui se camouflent derrière l'intérêt que nous prétendons porter aux autres. L'indifférence ainsi assumée permet de se protéger, de se mettre en retrait et de laisser l'initiative au hasard, aux autres, aux sollicitations du monde.

Con esta premisa, El mito del fracaso español hace un recorrido, desde los años 80 del pasado siglo hasta hoy, por la simbología patria, los discursos sobre el pasado imperial, la obsesión por la decadencia, el debate de «las dos Españas», los discursos de odio a lo español o la crisis del régimen del 78. Un libro esclarecedor sobre cómo las interpretaciones de nuestro pasado, nos gusten o no, siguen ejerciendo una poderosa influencia en el modo en que los españoles nos percibimos, cómo entendemos la política o la capacidad para resolver nuestros problemas en tiempos líquidos.

Le politiquement correct va-t-il tuer notre langue française ? La question est posée depuis déjà quelques années. Et la réponse met en danger les multiples trésors de nos dictionnaires. Plus d'offenses, certes, mais plus de nuances non plus ! Choisir le bon mot est la base d'une expression précise. Aujourd'hui, la façon de s'exprimer est trop souvent guidée par la prudence ou la volonté de ne surtout pas réveiller les garants d'une morale parfois imaginaire.

In "Tao" nimmt Osho die Zuhörer mit auf eine Reise in die Welt von Laotse, Zhuangzi, Liehzi und Koh Xuan – die Welt des Taoismus, einer der vier großen spirituellen Traditionen Chinas. Die 3000 Jahre alte taoistische Botschaft der Selbsterkenntnis wird lebendig, während Osho die Geschichten dieser chinesischen Mystiker erzählt. Im Gegensatz zur gängigen Vorstellung vom Taoismus, der einen eher gelassenen, dem Fluss des Lebens entsprechenden Lebens nahelegt, beschreibt Osho das Tao als ein Konzept von Freiheit, Anarchie und Chaos.

Dans ces pensées, maximes et fragments, Arthur Schopenhauer condense sa philosophie en éclairs. À la manière des moralistes, il taille des aphorismes d’une clarté tranchante et d’une ironie sombre, où se réfléchissent la condition humaine, le désir et ses illusions, la souffrance, la quête d’un bonheur fragile, l’art et la sagesse pratique. Écrit au XIXe siècle, ce recueil offre un chemin bref et acéré dans une pensée devenue classique.

Depending on No-Thing is a clear and unsentimental look at what remains when the imagined center of “me” falls away. Robert Saltzman writes from lived experience, not doctrine. He dismantles the spiritual promises of final answers and special states, turning attention instead to the simplicity of experience as it actually shows up—without metaphysical storylines, without self-improvement agendas, without a someone behind the curtain.

Across continents and thousands of years, humanity has told different stories about creation, morality, collapse, and renewal. Yet beneath every tradition lies one universal pattern, older than scripture and deeper than doctrine. A pattern that explains why civilizations rise and fall, why life tightens and breaks, and how renewal always returns.

In Das Unbehagen in der Kultur analysiert Sigmund Freud die Spannung zwischen menschlichen Trieben und zivilisatorischen Anforderungen.

Freud entwirft ein tiefgreifendes Modell des kulturellen Daseins, in dem individuelle Freiheit und kollektive Ordnung in einem ständigen Spannungsverhältnis stehen – ein Klassiker der Kulturtheorie und ein Schlüsseltext der Psychoanalyse.
