Showing titles in Consciousness & Thought

Living together amicably, creatively, in complete relationship with one another – if that is what is essential then we need not only a different kind of mind but also a different quality of affection, love. What is the function of a religious mind? Our struggle in life is dualistic: good and bad, right and wrong, holy and unholy, the ideal and the fact. There is only the fact, not the ideal. Is it possible to look at life as though you are looking for the first time? What is the content of the unconscious?

In this bold and interdisciplinary journey through neuroscience, theoretical physics, and artificial intelligence, neurologist Dr. Chris Reynolds proposes a revolutionary model of consciousness: the Probability Clock. At the heart of this model lies the thalamus—a central brain structure long known for relaying sensory input. But in Reynolds’ view, the thalamus does far more: it recursively filters, times, and shapes experience itself.

One of the world's most important political philosophers, Jon Elster is a leading thinker on reason and rationality and their roles in politics and public life. In this short book, he crystallizes and advances his work, bridging the gap between philosophers who use the idea of reason to assess human behavior from a normative point of view and social scientists who use the idea of rationality to explain behavior.

Epistemic vices are character traits, attitudes, or thinking styles that prevent us from gaining, keeping, or sharing knowledge. In this book, Quassim Cassam gives an account of the nature and importance of these vices, which include closed-mindedness, intellectual arrogance, wishful thinking, and prejudice. In providing the first extensive coverage of vice epistemology, an exciting new area of philosophical research, Vices of the Mind uses real examples drawn primarily from the world of politics to develop a compelling theory of epistemic vice.

Die Sammlung Von den ersten und letzten Dingen stammt aus Friedrich Nietzsches Werk Menschliches, Allzumenschliches und beschäftigt sich mit den großen Fragen der Philosophie: Woher kommen wir? Was können wir erkennen? Was bleibt am Ende? In knappen, gedankenscharfen Aphorismen entfaltet Nietzsche eine radikale Kritik an traditionellen Wahrheiten, Metaphysik und religiösen Weltdeutungen. Er zeigt: Zwischen Anfang und Ende liegt nicht Wahrheit – sondern Perspektive, Irrtum und die schöpferische Kraft des Menschen.

Aus den Sudelbüchern versammelt eine Auswahl von Aphorismen, Gedanken und pointierten Beobachtungen des Aufklärers Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799). Obwohl er als Physiker und Mathematiker wirkte, ist er der Nachwelt vor allem als scharfsinniger Denker, Satiriker und Meister der Formulierung in Erinnerung geblieben. Zwischen Spott und Scharfsinn, Selbstironie und Tiefgang – Lichtenbergs Sudelbücher zeigen, wie philosophisch und humorvoll kluge Beobachtung sein kann.

How can we remember certain events from our childhood as if they happened yesterday and then forget we did last week? Why does our memory seem to work well at some times but not at others? What happens when it goes wrong? Can memory be improved or manipulated by psychological techniques, or even 'brain implants'? How does memory grow and change as we age? And what of so-called 'recovered' memories? This Very Short Introduction brings together the latest research in neuroscience and psychology to address these important questions around the science of memory.

The Absolute Present. A new vision of time, being, and the meaning of life. By Alev Karl. What if your actions didn’t just shape the future—but also rewrote the past? The Absolute Present offers a radical new vision of time, meaning, and existence. With clarity and depth, Alev Karl proposes that the present is not a fleeting moment between a fixed past and an uncertain future, but the structural origin of all things. Every true action, every moment of coherence, reorganizes the universe—not metaphorically, but structurally. Including what was.

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.

En esta obra Jacobo Grinberg retoma una idea compartida por los estudios fisiológicos del cerebro y la filosofía: el mundo exterior es una descripción basada enprocesos y operaciones que ocurren en nuestro interior, es decir, en nuestro cerebro y conciencia. De este modo, lo que llamamos “realidad” sería un constructo basado en la activación de ciertos patrones neuronales mediante la percepción, según explica el propio autor.

From the ancient rituals of painted warriors to the eerie grin of the modern clown, humanity has always worn masks — not just to hide, but to survive. The Painted Smile traces the haunting evolution of the human face as canvas, weapon, and confession.
