Have you ever felt like someone is wrong but you don't know why or didn't know how to reply to them? Fantastic Fallacies is an introduction to flaws in logic and reason. With this audiobook, you can learn where someone went wrong with their argument and learn how to respond to fallacious arguments.

Gedankenspiele sind seit über zweitausend Jahren die Werkzeuge der Philosophie - sie helfen dabei, Antworten auf die grundlegenden Fragen des Lebens zu finden. Die großen Philosophen - von Sokrates bis Sartre - haben solche geistigen Experimente entwickelt, um sich Themen wie Moral, Freiheit oder Gerechtigkeit zu nähern: Wie würden wir leben, wenn wir unsterblich wären? Wenn ich mein Gehirn mit dem meines Nachbarn tausche - wer wohnt dann wo? Wie kann ein angeketteter Hund glücklich werden?

Who is a roadman really? What's wrong with calling someone a 'lighty'? Why do people think black guys are cool? These are just some of the questions being wrestled with in Black, Listed, an exploration of 21st-century black Identity told through a list of insults, insights and everything in between. Taking a panoramic look at global black history, interrogating both contemporary and historical culture, Black, Listed investigates the ways in which black communities (and individuals) have been represented, oppressed, mimicked, celebrated and othered.

Tracing 25 centuries of human history, from the fourth century BC to the present day, Manguel dedicates each of his chapters to a single character - ranging from our best-known thinkers, scientists, and artists to seemingly minor figures of whom we know little more than one inspired utterance - in whom he identifies a particular way of asking the question "why?"

Despite 21st-century fears of an "epidemic" of loneliness, its history has been sorely neglected. A Biography of Loneliness offers a radically new interpretation of loneliness as an emotional language and experience. Using letters and diaries, philosophical tracts, political discussions, and medical literature from the 18th century to the present, historian of the emotions Fay Bound Alberti argues that loneliness is not a historical, universal phenomenon. It is, in fact, a modern emotion: before 1800, its language did not exist.

This biography describes the intellectual and political milieus that helped shape Noam Chomsky, a pivotal figure in contemporary linguistics, politics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy. It also presents an engaging political history of the last several decades, including such events as the Spanish Civil War, the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the march on the Pentagon to protest the Vietnam War.

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

El audiolibro de El poder y la palabra reúne diez ensayos de George Orwell que dan vuelta al concepto de verdad y al uso perverso del lenguaje político. « En una época de engaño universal, decir la verdad es un acto revolucionario.» Los ensayos políticos de George Orwell son una de las mejores fuentes de resistencia contra el uso corrupto del lenguaje y las versiones manipuladas de la realidad.

This text is unusual in Atkinson's oeuvre, in that it contains no discussion of spiritual or metaphysical topics. In clear, unambiguous language, the author commences with a definition of reasoning and proceeds with an examination of the various forms in which it can be applied. He discusses the steps involved in the formation and testing of hypotheses and concludes with a discussion of common fallacies. Although Atkinson was neither a philosopher nor a scientist, this text is a well-structured and accessible introduction to the application of the principles of logic.

We are taught to think of culture as a museum: a building full of finished objects, each with a little label, each waiting quietly to be admired. Yuri Lotman spent his life arguing that this picture is precisely wrong. Culture, he insisted, is not a warehouse of things but a living process of making meaning—a vast, restless conversation in which a poem, a duel, a city street, a silence, and a wedding ring are all sentences in the same enormous language. Nothing in it is ever neutral. Nothing in it ever quite finishes. This book is an invitation into that conversation.
