This collection brings together history, science, philosophy and comedy to explore our age-old search for meaning. We live in an age of self-improvement and self-examination - lifehacking, wellbeing, self-care, mindfulness retreats - but this seemingly very modern phenomenon is a pursuit that dates back for millennia.

We used to know how to know. We got our answers from books or experts. We'd nail down the facts and move on. But in the Internet age, knowledge has moved onto networks. There's more knowledge than ever, of course, but it's different. Topics have no boundaries, and nobody agrees on anything.Yet this is the greatest time in history to be a knowledge seeker - if you know how.

Crafted by satirical philosopher and literary trickster George Kevers, The Uncertainty Principle is a thought experiment dressed in academic robes and running shoes.

"Plato's Cave: Philosophy's First Reality Show" is the hilarious guide to Plato you never knew you needed. In this irreverent takedown of philosophy's founding father, author Sophia Blackwell translates Plato's lofty ideas into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his metaphysical obsessions, aristocratic biases, and suspicious fondness for "perfect forms."

Dans Les deux sources de la morale et de la religion, son dernier grand livre (1932), Bergson ne se contente pas d'établir la distinction entre le clos et l'ouvert comme critère absolu, en morale, mais aussi en religion (et même dans chaque religion) et en politique. Il en recherche le double fondement, dans la structure immuable de notre espèce, d'un côté dans les actes imprévisibles des grands hommes de bien ou des mystiques, de l'autre.

¿Puede la filosofía dar respuestas a los problemas de la actualidad? ¿Puede enseñarnos a pensar en la muerte al margen de nuestra angustia existencial? ¿Una perspectiva filosófica nos ayuda a ver al otro como tal? ¿Cómo pensar en el poder cuando, en realidad, el poder nos atraviesa? ¿Qué se revela cuando la filosofía cuestiona la linealidad del tiempo?

What we believed were the laws of physics are really the archetypal laws of mind, and the consciousness that created our universe originated from the “monad”. In philosophy, the monad is the single source of all things—the embedded matrix of both our present existence and all possible future incarnations. For theologians, it is the logos—the word of God that created the world. In mathematics, the monad is the root of all the numbers that describe nature. In science, it is the Big Bang explosion of light and information from which our universe sprung forth.

L'inizio del nuovo millennio coincide con l'espansione della galassia di pratiche e studi psicologici: sempre meno psicanalisi, sempre più indirizzi psicoterapeutici. E le neuroscienze, pur avendo conosciuto un incredibile sviluppo, continuano a adottare un atteggiamento funzionalista che si rivela ineffi cace nell'affrontare il disagio esistenziale e psicologico, mai come oggi così diffuso e capillare.

Eine fesselnde Geschichte der Philosophie, die Kenny mit so klaren Worten zu erklären vermag, wie sonst kaum ein Philosoph - ideal für jeden Einsteiger. Das 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. war das der großen Philosophen. Nachdem Sokrates starb, wurde kurz darauf Aristoteles geboren. Bereits im Jugendalter verließ der Makedonier seine Heimat und ging nach Athen, um von Platon unterrichtet zu werden. Der Hörer wird hineingezogen in eine antike Welt, geprägt von geistiger Stärke und philosophischen Theorien.

Ein spannendes Hörbuch, welches das Leben Wittgensteins thematisiert und den Hörer motiviert, sich auch nach dieser Einführung weitergehend mit dessen philosophischen Denkweise auseinanderzusetzen. Ludwig Wittgenstein gehört zu den bedeutendsten Philosophen seiner Zeit. Er befasste sich viel mit der analytischen Philosophie und verstrickte sich in Denkmuster, die auch für Philosophen teilweise kaum noch überschaubar sind.

Qui es-tu? d'où viens-tu? que fais-tu? que deviendras-tu? Qu'est-ce que la liberté ? Vous me demandez à quoi bon tout ce sermon si l'homme n'est pas libre? D'abord je ne vous ai point dit que l'homme n'est pas libre; je vous ai dit : 1 que sa liberté consiste dans son pouvoir d'agir, et non pas dans le pouvoir chimérique de vouloir vouloir.
