Quando dico "ti amo" che cosa sto dicendo di preciso? E soprattutto, chi parla? Il mio desiderio, la mia idealizzazione, la mia dipendenza, il mio eccesso, la mia follia? Non c'è parola più equivoca di "amore" e più intrecciata a tutte quelle altre parole che, per la logica, sono la sua negazione. Tutti, chi più chi meno, abbiamo fatto esperienza che l'amore si nutre di novità, mistero e pericolo e ha come suoi nemici il tempo, la quotidianità e la familiarità. Nasce dall'idealizzazione della persona amata di cui ci innamoriamo per un incantesimo della fantasia,

Es la intención de este audiolibro mostrar que en la relatividad general esas dos caras de la cultura muestran el mismo aire de familia que cualquiera puede apreciar entre el rostro delirante que la tradición nos ha legado de don Quijote y ese icono de la modernidad que es el rostro de un Einstein desmelenado.

私たちはどこにいるのか。そして、どう生きるべきか――。

Mohandas Gandhi wrote this book while traveling from London to South Africa on board SS Kildonan Castle between November 13 and November 22, 1909. In the book Gandhi gives a diagnosis for the problems of humanity in modern times, the causes and his remedy. Gandhi's Hind Swaraj takes the form of a dialogue between two characters, The Reader and The Editor. The Reader essentially serves as the typical Indian countryman whom Gandhi would have been addressing with Hind Swaraj.

Taking his lead from his subject, Gershom Scholem - the 20th-century thinker who cracked open Jewish theology and history with a radical reading of Kabbalah - Prochnik combines biography and memoir to counter our contemporary political crisis with an original and urgent reimagining of the future of Israel.

The stories in this book reaffirm that godwinks happen to everyone. We just need to learn how to see them, allow them to unfold, and accept them as direct, person-to-person communications from God to each of us.

The Devil Wins uncovers the complicated history of lying from the early days of the Catholic Church to the Enlightenment, revealing the diversity of attitudes about lying by considering the question from the perspectives of five representative voices - the Devil, God, theologians, courtiers, and women.

From the science of greenhouse gases to the intricate logic of cap and trade, Broome reveals how the principles that underlie everyday decision making also provide simple and effective ideas for confronting climate change.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese American of Assyrian descent, an artist, poet and writer. He was born Gibran Khalil Gibran in Lebanon (at the time a Syrian Province of the Ottoman Empire) and spent much of his productive life in the United States. While most of Gibran's early writings were in Syriac and Arabic, most of his work published after 1918 was in English. Gibran also took part in the New York Pen League, also known as the "immigrant poets" (al-mahjar), alongside other important Lebanese American authors.

Through his fiction, essays, poems, and art, Kahlil Gibran inspired a devoted international following and transformed modern Arabic literature. In this book, Joseph P. Ghougassian brings together the philosophical elements present across Gibran’s diverse writings, including his best-selling work The Prophet, as well as other significant works such as The Broken Wings, which tells the story of doomed young lovers, and the collection of aphorisms in Sand and Foam.

There have been a lot of books that have made the case for Buddhism. What makes this book fresh and exciting is Asma's iconoclasm, irreverence, and hardheaded approach to the subject. He is distressed that much of what passes for Buddhism is really little more than "New Age mush." He loudly asserts that it is time to "take the California out of Buddhism." And he presents a spiritual practice that does not require a belief in creeds or dogma.

In the wake of a divorce, science writer and single mother Kayt Sukel made herself a guinea pig in the labs of some unusual love experts to find out. This Is Your Brain on Sex is her lively and hilarious examination of the big questions about love and sex, previously published in hardcover as Dirty Minds. Each chapter of this edgy romp through the romantic brain looks at a different aspect of love above the belt.

L'uomo è un essere intelligente. Nel dizionario di Oxford l'intelligenza viene definita come "la capacità di acquisire e applicare conoscenze e competenze complesse". Se prendiamo per buona questa definizione, possiamo essere certi che l'essere umano, per come lo conosciamo, verrà presto superato dagli algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale. Le nostre forme sociali camminano al di fuori dell'ordine dell'intelligenza possibile all'uomo.

Krista Tippett, widely becoming known as the Bill Moyers of radio, is one of the country's most intelligent and insightful commentators on religion, ethics and the human spirit. With this book, she draws on her own life story and her intimate conversations with both ordinary and famous figures, including Elie Wiesel, Karen Armstrong and Thich Nhat Hanh, to explore complex subjects like science, love, virtue and violence within the context of spirituality and everyday life.

Spinoza est peut-être le plus grand philosophe de l'Occident, mais il est si difficile à lire que très peu arrivent à le comprendre. Voici son "Éthique" rendue enfin accessible à tous dans une version simplifiée et modernisée enrichie de précieuses explications et de nombreux exemples. Reformulant l'Éthique dans le sens des sagesses non-duelles, Bruno Giuliani met en lumière l'intuition la plus révolutionnaire de l'œuvre, souvent incomprise de ses lecteurs, à savoir que le véritable sens de Dieu - c'est-à-dire la nature - est en réalité la Vie.

Best-selling author Pedram Shojai, “The Urban Monk”, presents a comprehensive guide on how Taoist alchemical practices can help you release stress, harness life force energy, and awaken your true self.

Myshkin was born on a certain day and died on a certain day - and some things happened to him in between. These things presented him with ethical questions, and this book is a record of his attempt to answer those questions. Discovered by his son after Myshkin's death, A Good Life is one man's reckoning with the life he has led and the choices he made. It is at once a philosophical handbook for living and a pause-resisting narrative.

In this rigorous distillation of his political philosophy, Philip Pettit, author of the landmark work Republicanism, champions a simple standard for our most complex political judgments, offering a challenging ideal that nevertheless holds out a real prospect for social and democratic progress. Whereas many thinkers define freedom as the absence of interference—we are left alone to do as we please—Pettit demands that in their basic life choices free persons should not even be subject to a power of interference on the part of others.
