Showing titles in Consciousness & Thought

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.

What happens when we accept that everything we feel and think stems not from an immaterial spirit but from electrical and chemical activity in our brains? In this thought-provoking narrative - drawn from professional expertise as well as personal life experiences - trailblazing neurophilosopher Patricia S. Churchland grounds the philosophy of mind in the essential ingredients of biology. She reflects with humor on how she came to harmonize science and philosophy, the mind and the brain, abstract ideals and daily life.

Epistemic vices are character traits, attitudes, or thinking styles that prevent us from gaining, keeping, or sharing knowledge.

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.

Le découragement est le problème majeur de notre temps. Là où nous pourrions avancer, nous baissons les bras. Là où nous pourrions être victorieux, nous partons perdants.

Un ricercatore e una studentessa, pur non conoscendosi direttamente, iniziano una fitta corrispondenza epistolare. Nel rapporto si inserisce il protagonista-narratore che, entrato in contatto con il ricercatore, instaura con lui un intenso dialogo, dal quale emergono le paure, le angosce e i desideri più reconditi che attanagliano l'uomo moderno, mai come in questo inizio millennio bisognoso di certezze.

Pour quelles raisons l'intelligence peut-elle conduire à l'idiotie ? Il arrive en effet que des personnes brillantes ou cultivées paraissent parfois stupides ou agissent de manière inepte : en recherchant l'inouï, la performance et la perfection ; en voulant tout comprendre et avoir raison ; en modelant le réel à leur convenance. Affirmer son intelligence au détriment de l'intelligence elle-même : c'est à ce paradoxe que cet ouvrage s'attache, partant du principe que le génie académique ne garantit pas nécessairement la sagesse ni l'ingéniosité dans la vie quotidienne.

Avec ses racines, son fût et ses branchages, l'arbre relie le ciel, la terre et le monde souterrain. Symbole parfait puisqu'il réunit tous les niveaux du réel, il lie la matière et l'esprit, l'inconscient et le conscient, le réel et le rêve. Synthèse du monde, l'arbre incarne la vie inépuisable, la réalité absolue, le sacré par excellence. Comme la poésie, le langage symbolique crée une passerelle vers les idées les plus puissantes grâce à l'imagination. Loin de la simple rêverie, la voie symbolique donne de l'unité et du sens à nos consciences souvent éparpillées.

Once upon a time, I thought strength meant being unshakable. Stoic. Unmoved. The human equivalent of a marble monument to toughness—minus the abs. Society loves to feed us this outdated, steel-jawed fantasy that vulnerability is weakness, that strength is about never cracking, never faltering, never feeling.

Ce voyage au fin fond de la dépendance, cette invitation au gai acquiescement de soi emprunte deux versants. Sous la forme d'un traité, sont explorées les voies qui conduisent à la grande santé, au joyeux dire oui. En contrepoint, dans des fragments, une autre voix se donne à entendre. À la troisième personne, lointaine et pourtant si intime, l'auteur narre sa singulière quête de liberté en plein chaos. Chemin faisant, Alexandre Jollien nous livre un carnet de route, un véritable traité de déculpabilisation.

Sanuk is a Thai concept that can loosely be translated as meaning ‘fun’. Though sanuk is in fact much more than that; it’s about achieving pleasure and joy in all aspects of life. For Thai people, if it’s not sanuk, it’s not worth doing. Thai people believe that it’s the little things that add up to a joyful life. Whether it’s raising happy kids, enjoying a quick chat with your neighbour or having a laugh with friends, they try to bring a sense of joy into their daily routines. This easygoing, fun-loving way of life is why Thailand is often called The Land of Smiles.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. În realitate, karma nu are nimic de-a face cu recompensa și cu pedeapsa. Karma înseamnă pur și simplu acțiune: acțiunea ta, responsabilitatea ta. Nu este un sistem extern de crimă și pedeapsă, ci un ciclu intern, generat chiar de tine. Acumularea karmei este determinată doar de intențiile tale și de modul în care răspunzi la ce ți se întâmplă. În timp, e posibil să devii înlănțuit de propriile tipare inconștiente de comportament.
