Secularism is increasingly a fact of life in Western society. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that faith is harder than it has been before. Even in the past when organized religion enjoyed more widespread cultural acceptance, there were still obstacles to true belief. Today, the obstacles are different, but faith is still viable.

God and the Self in Hegel proposes a reconstruction of Hegel’s conception of God and analyzes the significance of this reading for Hegel’s idealistic metaphysics. Paolo Diego Bubbio argues that in Hegel’s view, subjectivism—the tenet that there is no underlying “true” reality that exists independently of the activity of the cognitive agent—can be avoided, and content can be restored to religion, only to the extent that God is understood in God’s relation to human beings, and human beings are understood in their relation to God.

History from many perspectives.

Emerson describes the fluidity of thinking and life; how we need to be open to new ideas and not be wed to old ones; how to open ourselves up to these ideas by expanding our circles of knowledge and ideas.

"Рождение трагедии, или Эллинство и пессимизм"—эстетический трактат, в котором Фридрих Ницше изложил свой взгляд на дуалистические истоки искусства.

El escepticismo es bien conocido en la filosofía occidental, la mentalidad de cuestionar las afirmaciones de conocimiento establecidas en varias áreas. Los escépticos han cuestionado la idoneidad o confiabilidad de estas afirmaciones preguntando en qué conceptos se basan o qué establecen realmente. Han dudado de si algunas de esas afirmaciones son verdaderas, tal como se declaran, o siempre verdaderas, y han cuestionado las supuestas premisas lógicas de las suposiciones aceptadas.

In the course of this essay, Tolstoy attempts to find answers to the greatest questions of philosophy through science, philosophy, eastern wisdom, and the opinions of his fellow novelists. Finding no workable solution in any of these, Tolstoy recognizes the deep religious convictions of ordinary people as containing the key to true answers. The first attempt at its publication took place in 1882, but Tolstoy's work was removed from the journal by the Orthodox Church. The text was later published in Geneva in 1884 and in Russia as late as 1906.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882) war einer der Begründer des Transzendentalismus. Der Philosoph begründete eine neue Denkrichtung der Philosophie. Er forderte den Menschen auf, im Einklang mit der Natur zu leben, und gilt als Mitbegründer der "New Thought"-Bewegung. Seine Essays "Selbständigkeit", "Persönlichkeit" und "Manieren" sind Klassiker, die sich mit guter Lebensführung befassen.

In the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson boarded a train in Concord, Massachusetts, bound for a month-and-a-half-long tour of California—an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. Based on original research employing newly discovered documents, The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson maps the public story of this trip onto the private story of Emerson's final years. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.

La philosophie intrigue ou effraie ceux qui ne la connaissent pas. Elle passionne, depuis vingt-cinq siècles, beaucoup de ceux qui ont pris la peine de l'étudier, à commencer par certains des plus grands génies de l'humanité, qui ont fait son histoire et sa grandeur. C'est cette passion que le présent ouvrage veut rendre compréhensible. Il explique ce qu'est la philosophie, comment elle a évolué à travers les siècles, enfin quels sont les grands courants, dans chaque domaine, qui la traversent ou s'y affrontent.

Cet ouvrage part de ceux qui ont réussi à faire cristalliser une approche, une attitude, un esprit, pour offrir au lecteur la reprise des étapes majeures de l'aventure de la pensée occidentale depuis Parménide jusqu'à Sartre et Bruaire en passant par Platon, Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, Marx, Nietzsche ou encore Bergson.

Мир как воля и представление—центральная работа немецкого философа Артура Шопенгауэра. Шопенгауэр утверждал, что назначение этой работы во всестороннем рассмотрении «единственной идеи». Он разработал свою философскую систему, состоящую из четырёх разделов: эпистемология, онтология, эстетика и этика.

Im Frühsommer 1979 folgte der französische Star-Philosoph der Einladung eines jungen Dozenten namens Simeon Wade an dessen Hochschule in Kalifornien. Wade überredete sein Idol zu einem Death-Valley-Ausflug, inklusive LSD-Trip. Foucault selbst beschrieb diesen Tag, an dem er zum ersten Mal Erfahrungen mit der Droge machte, als "eine der wichtigsten Erfahrungen meines Lebens". Aus der Begegnung entstand eine langjährige Freundschaft, die sich in einem Briefwechsel niedergeschlagen hat.

Chi è il Dio dei monoteismi? Non certo il Dio di cui discutono atei e credenti, ma un Dio tragico e assoluto, drammatico nella sua Unità e apertura al mondo. È il concetto più alto: pensarlo significa affondare negli abissi del monoteismo, scorgere l'imperscrutabilità di questa presenza-assenza che da sempre ingombra la vita dell'uomo. Ma è anche il Dio che irrompe nella storia con uno sguardo di Amore verso l'Uomo e si fa sorgente di libertà e giustizia.

Aclamado como una parábola para los tiempos modernos, Erasmo de Rotterdam es la biografía de un gran humanista que, cuando se le pidió una confesión de fe, dijo: “Amo la libertad, y no serviré ni puedo servir a ningún partido”. En ningún momento Zweig menciona a Hitler por su nombre, pero es obvio que esta biografía de un hombre que trató de mantenerse por encima de la batalla.

From Silicon Valley boardrooms to rural communes to academic philosophy departments, a seemingly inconceivable idea is being seriously discussed: that the end of humanity’s reign on earth is imminent, and that we should welcome it. Anthropocene antihumanism has been inspired by revulsion at humanity’s destruction of the natural environment, and transhumanism, by contrast, glorifies some of the very things that antihumanism decries—scientific and technological progress, the supremacy of reason.

In Black Utopias, Jayna Brown takes up the concept of utopia as a way of exploring alternative states of being, doing, and imagining in Black culture. Musical, literary, and mystic practices become utopian enclaves in which Black people engage in modes of creative worldmaking.

In this illuminating overview, Professor Garrett Thomson surveys the field, considering the work and influence of 29 major thinkers representing logical atomism and logical positivism (including Russell and Wittgenstein), analytic philosophy (including Quine, Davidson, Rawls), phenomenology and existentialism (including Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre), hermeneutics (including Gadamer and Habermas) and post-structuralism (including Foucault, Derrida and Deleuze). Also examined are some recent thinkers including Richard Rorty and Charles Taylor.

Solo pochi mesi fa lo chiamavamo "nostro" e adesso lo abbiamo già regalato alla storia. È fragile da maneggiare, per niente facile da catalogare. Eppure come ha detto sagacemente Karl Popper "il Novecento è stato un secolo così pieno di correnti che, vedrete, la sua influenza si diffonderà dappertutto". Scandita dalle menti più bizzarre, la filosofia del secolo che ci ha dato i natali ci lascia con ardite provocazioni, brillanti interrogativi e una certezza: il futuro è aperto, come una partita di flipper, con tutte te sue luci e i suoi bonus, le buche e i respingenti.
