Soul Machine takes us back to the origins of modernity, a time when a crisis in religious authority and the scientific revolution led to searching questions about the nature of human inner life. This is the story of how a new concept - the mind - emerged as a potential solution, one that was part soul and part machine but fully neither.

Farmer, ecologist, and writer Berry provides some rich and fertile ground for recreating life and culture. He speaks of enduring values, the wholeness of life and the interdependence of all creatures, especially humankind. Berry's self-discipline, ethical sense and human compassion come through as he leads us from the microcosm of his Kentucky hill farm to the macrocosm of a sane and reasoned planetary vision based on personal integrity, faithfulness, and love.

"Deux siècles de révolte, métaphysique ou historique, s'offrent justement à notre réflexion. Un historien, seul, pourrait prétendre à exposer en détail les doctrines et les mouvements qui s'y succèdent. Du moins, il doit être possible d'y chercher un fil conducteur. Les pages qui suivent proposent seulement quelques repères historiques et une hypothèse de lecture. Cette hypothèse n'est pas la seule possible ; elle est loin, d'ailleurs, de tout éclairer. Mais elle explique, en partie, la direction et, presque entièrement, la démesure de notre temps."

In 1968, at the climax of the '60s, Os Guinness visited the United States for the first time. There he was struck by an impression he’d already felt in England and elsewhere: Beneath all the idealism and struggle for freedom was a growing disillusionment and loss of meaning. “Underneath the efforts of a generation”, he wrote, “lay dust”. Even more troubling, Christians seemed uninformed about the cultural shifts and ill-equipped to respond. Guinness took on these concerns by writing his first book, The Dust of Death.

In a series of essays that explore the notion of what brings significance to our existences, clarifying why we have this longing beyond the present moment and an insatiable dissatisfaction with where we are, scholar Frank Martela tackles the subject of finding meaning in life. With beautiful...

Nietzsche is a major figure in Western philosophy. His work is radical, sometimes violent, often ironic; it fascinates anyone bold enough to delve into it, exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history, and covers a wide range of subjects. Nietzsche's writings borders on the poetic; his aphorisms are particularly well-known for conveying all the radicalism of his thinking in an intense but light, sometimes amusing manner.

The modern understanding of what it means to be stoical is never showing any form of outward emotion regardless of all circumstances, good or bad, and indeed not having any emotions whatsoever. The entire species of the Vulcans in the popular science fiction franchise Star Trek exemplifies the popular definition. But it's easy to recognize an absence of outward emotion as not necessarily being a good thing.

In the age of comfort, a quiet collapse is happening inside people—not in governments, not in economies, but in the minds of ordinary adults who can no longer handle ordinary life. The Weak Generation tears apart the myths we hide behind and exposes why emotional weakness is rising while real resilience is disappearing.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) was the forerunner of the post-Kantian idealists and remains one of the most important figures in German philosophy. Throughout his career, Fichte published, in addition to his systematic or "scientific" treatises, the best known of which is the "Foundation of the Entire Wissenchaftslehre (1794-5), a series of works directed at the general public.

Friedrich Nietzsche é considerado um dos filósofos mais importantes do mundo. As ideias desse pensador alemão questionam a natureza humana, as noções de moral e as concepções religiosas, levando o leitor a interrogar campos diversos, como artes, política, religião e sociedade. Seu livro mais conhecido “Assim falou Zaratustra” sugere a morte de Deus e dos valores morais, além da necessidade de superação da natureza humana, ideia cristalizada no conceito de “super-homem”.

On a clear May afternoon at the end of his junior year at Harvard, Howard Axelrod played a pick-up game of basketball. In a skirmish for a loose ball, a boy's finger hooked behind Axelrod's eyeball and left him permanently blinded in his right eye. A week later, he returned to the same dorm room, but to a different world. A world where nothing looked solid, where the distance between how people saw him and how he saw had widened into a gulf.

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.

Questo libro è per chi si sente fuori posto o, come si dice in greco, atopos. Pare che uno dei primi a essere definito così sia stato Socrate, giudicato troppo strano, a volte anche fastidioso. Dopo di lui, tutti i filosofi vennero considerati atopoi. Le loro vite erano tormentate dalla ricerca di qualcosa che continuava a sfuggire e osservavano il mondo dall'esterno, senza farne mai davvero parte. Chi si sente fuori posto prova ogni giorno il doloroso desiderio di trovare un luogo da chiamare casa e vive la vita col fiato sospeso, sperando di riuscire un giorno a respirare.

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.

A brilliant philosopher reimagines Stoicism for our modern age in this thought-provoking guide to a better life. For more than two thousand years, Stoicism has offered a message of resilience in the face of hardship. Little wonder, then, that it is having such a revival in our own troubled times...

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.
