There are rules everywhere and anywhere in our world and daily lives. Everywhere we go, there are signs telling us what to do or what not to do. In addition to those signs and verbalized rules, there are some unwritten rules that are still expected to be followed - even rules that we become influenced by that we either are unaware of or even take advantage of, like the law of physics.

"El engaño populista pertenece a una rica tradición de textos presididos por el amor a la libertad y el propósito de ayudar a las víctimas del populismo autoritario a defenderse de las mentiras diseñadas para mantenerlas en la pobreza y en la ignorancia. Ojalá tenga los muchos oyentes que se merece".

Mario Vargas Llosa, premio Nobel de literatura, 2010.

French literary figure Charles Baudelaire was a member of the infamous Club of the Hashish-Eaters, a Parisian literary group dedicated to the exploration of altered states of consciousness, principally through the use of hashish. The Poem of Hashish was first published in 1850. This is Aleister Crowley’s translation of it, from 1895. Baudelaire was part of the French art movement known as saymbolism, which acted as a reaction to realism and placed a lot of emphasis on the power of dreams and the imagination as tools for communicating ideals through symbols.

Confianza en uno mismo es uno de los ensayos más emblemáticos de Emerson. Es una llamada a lo esencial de nosotros mismos como propuesta vital, que encarna y resume lo mejor de la filosofía de Emerson: su inconformismo, su vitalismo, su fe en el individuo y en la intuición como fuente de sabiduría. Con estos mimbres, Emerson propone algunos de sus conceptos fundamentales: el hombre debe obedecer la ley sagrada de su propia naturaleza para alcanzar su potencial; el hombre es infinito.

"Когда мы подвергаем мысленному рассмотрению природу или историю человечества или нашу собственную духовную деятельность, то перед нами сперва возникает картина бесконечного сплетения связей и взаимодействий, в которой ничто не остается неподвижным и неизменным, а все движется, изменяется, возникает и исчезает."

This is a two-book combo which has the following titles: Existentialism: The Psychology and Philosophy of Existentialist Thinkers and Existentialism: Nihilism and Rethinking Value Systems by Cruz Matthews. Existentialism is a basic terminology concept for theorists who think of the nature of the human condition as a fundamental essence of philosophical issues and who also share the view that this problem is best resolved through ontology.

Wenn man über den Sinn des Lebens, seiner eigenen Existenz, sinniert, wenn man vor einer moralisch kontroversen Entscheidung steht und sich den Kopf über das Für und Wider zerbricht, dann fühlen sich wahrscheinlich die meisten zunächst rat- und hilflos. Die Philosophie kann einem dabei zunächst nicht helfen. Sie initiiert aber kritisches und reflexives Selber-Denken und gibt Anregungen, scheinbar Altbekanntes aus einer anderen Perspektive zu betrachten.

In this guide, you will learn how the skepticism movement has evolved over the past few centuries, what it is today, how it makes complete sense, and how it differs from cynicism. These things are explained in a short listen, and the information you can get out of this is well worth your time.

So, in an answer to the question: Why skepticism? I say, because it can help us think clearly, be more realistic, and have better results in life. In this guide, we will focus on just that. We will also touch on why skepticism isn’t always the same as pessimism or cynicism, and how we should rewire our brains to think more independently and intelligently.

The Simple World follows a series of conversations between two neighbors, world-renowned educator and mathematician Richard Feinburg and software developer Walter Carlisle. They challenge each other’s perception of reality, family, the self, and the difficulty of finding value and fulfillment in life.

Today, we will take a look at the skeptical movement and ponder its significance, development, and application. This movement is worldwide and has been acknowledged by prominent scholars and theorists. We will also explore the concepts of criticism, parapsychology, the role of science in skepticism, and the subtle art of being positive while being skeptical. Skepticism helps us think critically and question statements and claims, which helps us get closer to the truth. If this is something you’d like to get better at, then I encourage you to take a look at this book.

Skepticism is a philosophical movement that has been in existence for centuries. And even though some may call it old and outdated, studying this concept can bring enlightenment to the soul. Sometimes, being skeptical is erroneously connected to simply being negative. But this assumption is far from the truth.

Entre los numerosos objetos de análisis que llamaron la atención de Aristóteles (384-322 a.C.) se contó también el fenómeno literario y, dentro de él, su más notable manifestación en su época: el teatro. En él es donde encontramos por primera vez definidos algunos conceptos literarios la trama o argumento de una obra, las distintas partes de una pieza dramática, los efectos que el teatro produce en el espectador o lector, así como términos como el de catarsis o purificación, la peripecia o cambio de fortuna, o el concepto de anagnórisis (reconocimiento).

In this new book, Vardøger takes the reader on the voyage of his life from childhood to parenthood, from embracing religion to rejecting religion, from faith to facts. Various spiritual teachings, consciousness phenomena, scientific evidence, and philosophical concepts are assembled into Vardøger’s idea of “the golden thread” that harmonizes the universal morals and concepts of the major world religions. This is the story of one man’s search for spiritual truth. This is Maverick Vardøger’s Lead Line.

Self Reliance is an essay written in 1841 by Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This essay is an analysis into the nature of the aboriginal self on which a universal reliance may be grounded. He stresses that anyone is capable of achieving happiness simply if they change their mindset. Emerson focuses on seemingly insignificant details explaining how life is "learning and forgetting and learning again".
