Sucesso no Brasil, com mais de 100 mil exemplares vendidos, Ryan Holiday traz em seu novo livro um verdadeiro tratado sobre a coragem, uma virtude celebrada ao longo dos séculos, mas que parece estar em perigo de extinção. Nada é possível sem ela. Nada que valha a pena se alcança sendo covarde. Então por que a bravura é tão escassa? Numa época em que muitos de nossos políticos, líderes e artistas parecem incapazes de defender o que é certo ou mesmo falar a verdade, a coragem se faz ainda mais necessária, e o futuro depende da nossa decisão.

తత్వశాస్త్రం అనే మాట చూడగానే అదే మనకోసం కాదు లే, ఎవరో పండితులకోసం రచయిత రాసుంటుంది రచయిత అనుకుంటే అదే పొరపాటే. తత్వం అంటే ఒక భావం, అభిప్రాయం. ప్రకృతినీ, సమాజాన్నీ అర్థం చేసుకోవాలనే జిజ్ఞాసతో ప్రారంభమైన శాస్త్రమిది. మార్క్స్, ఏంగెల్స్ లను ప్రభావితం చేసినవాడు హెగెల్. "అభివృద్ధి అనేది నిరంతరం ముందుకు వెళుతూ ఉంటుంది. ఏదీ స్థిరంగా ఉండదు. సమాజం మారిపోతూ ఉంటుంది.

En Proyecto Blue Beam al Descubierto, explora la inquietante posibilidad de que una élite poderosa esté a punto de orquestar la manipulación global definitiva. Utilizando tecnologías avanzadas como proyecciones holográficas, redes satelitales, inteligencia artificial y técnicas de manipulación psicológica, esta teoría de conspiración sugiere que la humanidad podría ser engañada para entregar sus libertades ante un evento extraterrestre o divino completamente falso.

È tutto vero. È tutto rimasto finora nell’ombra. 1992: la mafia attacca il cuore dello Stato. 2022: trent’anni dopo, una ricostruzione inedita su quelle terribili stragi. Perché quella che fu una vera e propria guerra allo Stato è stata ideata con il contributo di una mafia segreta e intoccabile. Non solo: la strategia stragista di Cosa nostra servì al giovane boss Matteo Messina Denaro per attuare un ricambio generazionale e prendere il comando dell’organizzazione, facendo compiere un salto di qualità alla mafia e trasformandola in maniera profonda, con conseguenze che riusciamo a capire solo oggi.

Destiny offers the vision of a positive future for humanity and a practical blueprint for how to achieve a sustainable, peaceful, and just global community. At this most important moment in human history, technology is giving us the power to remake the world into a garden of plenty. At the same time, we face dark, existential crises—climate catastrophe, the continuing threat of nuclear weapons, and futile reliance on achieving “security” through military escalation, as examples.

Nowadays, people increasingly subscribe to cultural bubbles that stand in juxtaposition with the ideas of globalization and diversity. This book explores some of the reasons for the resistance to opening up to other cultures and proposes alternatives to cultural isolation, in particular, throughout the K-12 journey of American students.

The purpose of this book, and that of others that will follow in the ARS, is to shed light on certain practices, structures, systems, and institutions that we have adopted in Africa and that we continue to follow, even though they may not be tangibly furthering our progress and development as individuals, as communities, as nations, and as a Continent.

"Facing America's Greatest Enemy" by Rich Germaine delves into the pervasive issue of apathy within American society, exploring its historical roots, psychological underpinnings, and extensive impact on various facets of life.

What is love? In poetry, songs, fiction, movies, psychology, and philosophy, love has been described, admired, lamented, and dissected in endless ways. Is love based on physical attraction? Does it bring out our better selves? How does it relate to sex? Is love divine? Plato's Symposium is one of the oldest, most influential, and most profound explorations of such questions—it is even the source of the idea of "Platonic love."

While medicine and science have obviously changed enormously since the classical world, and some Greco-Roman beliefs about diet now appear hilariously off the mark, How to Eat reveals that much of their advice still resonates—and all of it is fascinating.

First published in 1859, the classic and influential essay On Liberty was written by John Stuart Mill. An English philosopher, Mill painstakingly expounded upon his ideas of liberty, individuality, and authority through the lens of utilitarianism.

This American classic details the experiences of Henry David Thoreau while he lived at Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts.

Every week, political pundits publish books promoting one side (the pundit’s) as good, and the other side as evil. Whether the pundit promotes a liberal or conservative view, the book convinces zealots, and annoys everyone else. For the rest of us, we see and feel the problem. Psychologists teach us why and how the problem exists. Politicians leverage the problem to gain personal political advantage.

Vor 700 Jahren kam die unverschämte Idee auf, dass der Mensch im Kern gut und frei ist und dass er auf der Suche nach Glück allein mit dem Kompass der Vernunft durch stürmische Zeiten steuern kann. Sarah Bakewell macht mit den italienischen Humanisten bekannt, die diese Idee in die Welt setzten, und beschreibt, wie inspirierend deren Neugierde, Forschergeist und Optimismus gewirkt haben, trotz aller Anfeindungen durch Theologen und Tyrannen.

Als die öffentlichen Zustände sich so verschlimmerten, dass keine Aussicht auf Herstellung der Ordnung mehr vorhanden war, soll Laotse sich zurückgezogen haben. Als er an den Grenzpass Han Gu gekommen sei, habe ihm der Grenzbeamte Yin Hi gebeten, ihm etwas Schriftliches zu hinterlassen. Darauf habe er den Toateking, bestehend aus mehr als 5000 chinesischen Zeichen, niedergeschrieben und ihm übergeben. Dann sei er nach Westen gegangen, kein Mensch weiß wohin. ... Satirischer oder düsterer Grundton unüberhörbar.

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

Pocos clásicos están tan vivos, tienen tanto que decirnos, como Michel de Montaigne, autor de los Ensayos. De su mano, este libro intenta dar respuesta a una pregunta que a todos nos concierne: ¿cómo vivir, felizmente, una vida humana?
