En este análisis de los debates alrededor del discurso de odio, la pornografía y la homosexualidad, Butler sostiene que las palabras pueden herir y que la violencia lingüística es un tipo de violencia particular. También sostiene que este discurso es emocional y fluido porque sus efectos a menudo escapan al control del hablante, moldeados por la fantasía, el contexto y las estructuras de poder.

What if every truth we hold began as a beautiful mistake? This book is a meditation on the nature of illusion—not as deception, but as one of the mind’s essential ways of knowing. Here, illusion is not debunked or dismissed; it is explored as a bridge between ignorance and understanding, a necessary fiction through which humans reach toward the incomprehensible.

This book examines language as both a tool for communication and a means of understanding, while never forgetting its built-in limitations. Language shapes our thinking, yes—but in doing so, it erects barriers that keep us from grasping the raw, unfiltered essence of reality. Words, with their multiple meanings and dependence on context, have a bad habit of distorting the message, turning conversation into an elaborate and bewildering game of charades.

This book is a profound philosophical meditation on the last frontier of human thought—the word itself. Moving between reason and instinct, between the human voice and the mechanical echo, it explores how language both illuminates and betrays our attempts to make sense of existence. From Korzybski’s search for a “map that does not deceive” to the emergence of artificial intelligence—a mind without a body, without pain, without fear—this book traces the transformation of language from a tool of clarity into a space of inner conflict, mercy, and presence.

This book is an inquiry into the tyranny of signs—into how language, once conceived as a tool for representing the world, became the very mechanism through which the world is structured, interpreted, and controlled. Beginning with Saussure’s revelation that the relationship between word and thing is arbitrary, it follows the evolution of thought that led from structural linguistics to semiotics, from semiotics to poststructuralism, and from philosophy to contemporary systems of algorithmic signification.

ことばが世界をつくるのか。世界がことばをつくるのか。元オリンピアンで著作も多く、「走る哲学者」とも呼ばれる為末大氏。

Während der Cola-Kriege in den 1980er-Jahren wetteiferten Coca-Cola und Pepsi darum, Amerikas beliebteste Limonade zu werden.

Reason has done much of the heavy lifting throughout history. In this second volume, this book presents quotations from many of history's key figures who both recognize the importance—and also the limitations—of reason.

あなたは誰のメガネで世界を見ているのか　自分の頭で思考する限り、すべての人は「自分バイアス」を持っている。

Este es el inicio de La tabla esmeralda, uno de los textos más misteriosos y fascinantes de la historia humana. Pero, ¿quién es Thoth el Atlante? Existen incontables mitos sobre él: que fue el creador de la alquimia, el profeta que anunció el advenimiento de Cristo. Lo único cierto es que su nombre verdadero fue Hermes Trismegisto, «el tres veces grande», y que fue el autor de La tabla esmeralda.

"Die Kunst, Recht zu behalten": Schopenhauers Argumentationstechnik, die einzig dem Zweck dient, ohne Rücksicht auf die Wahrheit aus Streitgesprächen siegreich hervorzugehen. Arthur Schopenhauer: geboren am 22.2.1788 in Danzig; gestorben am 21.9.1860 in Frankfurt/Main, entstammte einer patristischen Kaufmannsfamilie. Die ungeliebte Kaufmannslehre in Hamburg brach er nach dem Tod des Vaters (1805) ab und übersiedelte zur Mutter nach Weimar, wo diese einen literarischen Salon führte und bald zur berühmten Schriftstellerin avancierte. Seit 1809 studierte er in Göttingen Naturwissenschaften, ab 1811 in Berlin Philosophie.

Il 21 aprile 1966 Gregory Bateson – antropologo e padre dell’Ecologia della Mente - tenne un discorso alla conferenza “Two Worlds Symposium", presso lo State College di Sacramento, California. Quella che ascolterete è la trascrizione integrale di quell’intervento. Era iniziata proprio allora la mobilitazione degli studenti contro la guerra del Vietnam; quegli studenti erano parzialmente consapevoli di essere nati in un mondo impazzito ma disorientati e pieni di rabbia per non essere in grado di capirne le vere origini.

Mortimer Adler stood on the metaphysical and moral teachings of Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas to convey to his readers an understanding of the nature of Aristotle’s rhetoric as an essential means for conveying to readers of his time and to posterity a specific understanding of philosophy as an essential humanistic educational tool that might, someday, be able to issue in global peace!

De Oostenrijkse filosoof Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) is zonder enige twijfel één van de belangrijkste filosofen van de twintigste eeuw. Zijn denken heeft een grote bijdrage geleverd aan de filosofie van de taal, de wiskunde en de geest alsook aan de grondslagen van de logica. Door de een werd hij bewonderd, door de ander verguisd. Dat maakt hem tot een interessant onderwerp, zowel binnen als buiten de filosofie. Op toegankelijke en humoristische wijze behandelt Jean Paul Van Bendegem de biografie van Wittgenstein en biedt hij een diepere analyse van zijn twee bekendste werken.
