A ciência vem sendo maltratada. Negacionismo, achismos, falta de investimento: ela tem precisado lutar pelo que antes era óbvio, pois vivemos em um momento em que fatos inquestionáveis são...questionados. Os prejuízos desse desapego pela ciência são sentidos duramente nos dias atuais e amplificados pelas redes sociais. Que remédio há para esses males?

In Goethes Weltanschauung fasste Steiner die Ergebnisse seiner von 1883 bis 1897 sich erstreckenden Studien über Wesen und Bedeutung der naturwissenschaftlichen Schriften Goethes in einer bündigen und zugänglichen Weise zusammen. Steiner sah in Goethe einen wichtigen Vordenker, der in seiner Morphologie als erster eine dem Organischen angemessene Wissenschaftsmethode und damit die theoretischen Grundlagen seiner eigenen Anthroposophie entwickelt hatte.

Regarding your life and your brief existence on Earth, is that all there is? If you have ever felt that there is more here than an exclusively physical reality, you may be surprised to discover that scientific data from astronomy, quantum physics, biology, neuropsychology and cosmology actually confirms your intuition. With unusual clarity and humor, Dr. Shawn Adair Johnston reveals the utter failure of current science, based on an exclusively physical model of the universe, to account for the origin of the cosmos, human DNA, consciousness, free will or criminal behavior.

In "Discover Together: Storytelling for the Whole Family, Volume Two," we embark on an enthralling journey through the landscape of emerging technologies and their profound impact on our lives.

Alles ist messbar: Kaffee und Galaxien ebenso wie Quarks und Schwarze Löcher, der Mensch, die Natur, die Städte–kurz, alles, was uns umgibt. Das Einzige, was man dafür braucht, sind die sieben Maßeinheiten Meter, Kilogramm, Sekunde, Ampere, Kelvin, Mol und Candela.

From an evolutionary biopsychologist turned clinical psychologist, Why Dawkins is Absolutely Right–and Absolutely Wrong–on God and Religion offers a radical critique of Dawkins' stance on God and religion that introduces a paradigm-shifting, scientifically and spiritually sound resolution to the conflict between science and religion.

The current view of science is that Earth is around 4.6 billion years old. The first four billion years of its development are known as the Precambrian period. For the first billion years or so, there was no life on Earth, and then the first single-celled life-forms, early bacteria and algae, began to emerge. It’s unknown where they came from or even if they originated on this planet at all, but this gradual development continued until suddenly (in relative geological terms), more complex forms of life began to emerge.

As science and technology rapidly permeate our lives, we may soon lose control of their tremendous impact on all facets of our society. Instead of making positive or negative projections, this book delves into the specifics of forthcoming changes and how much impact we may have to direct them in our favor. Closely tied together, the evolution of humankind alongside machines is gearing up for the merging of both and the formation of a new entity: a Simorgh whose decisions will be beyond our control.

Anni fa, sulle rive del lago Bajkal, in Siberia, una donna mi lesse la mano. E un paio di anni dopo un bramino della città sacra di Vrindavan, in India, guardò nel mio futuro. Entrambi mi raccontarono delle stesse gioie che mi avrebbe riservato la vita. E della morte. Prematura e violenta. Che dovrebbe cogliermi tra poco.Alcune tra le cose predette si sono avverate. Altre non saprei. Le parole si sono perse nel tempo insieme alle cose a cui non do importanza. Ma con l’avvicinarsi di quell’appuntamento mi sono ritrovato a concentrarmi su un errore della divinazione.

Sette luoghi comuni. Sette bugie. Da “studia tanto e tutto andrà bene” a “se lavori come si deve presto avrai i soldi per comprare casa”, da “la politica si occuperà dei giovani” a “ormai facciamo sempre così, è troppo tardi per cambiare”: Beniamino Pagliaro racconta i problemi che le generazioni recenti si sono trovate ad affrontare, dai contratti meno tutelati a pensioni fantasma e quantomai ipotetiche, sempre con la certezza di trovarsi poi, per la prima volta in più di un secolo, più poveri dei propri genitori.

You may think that a simple concept like Truth should be easy to describe and easy to understand. But like many simple concepts, it becomes so much more complicated the further you go. Author Drew Weatherhead endeavors to display the complexity of the objective Truth that we're forced to navigate from our subjective viewpoints through a variety of meta constructs. These Layers of Truth that make up the whole of our reality can help us recognize how we perceive the parts of it in which we exist.

In "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy," Nikola Tesla embarks on an intellectual voyage that explores the avenues through which human society could augment its collective energy resources for the betterment of mankind.

In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately.

Women working in the sciences face obstacles at virtually every step along their career paths. From subtle slights to blatant biases, deep systemic problems block women from advancing or push them out of science and technology entirely. Women in Science Now examines solutions to this persistent gender gap, offering new perspectives on how to make science more equitable and inclusive for all.

В этом эссе Бён-Чхоль Хан анализирует современного человека, окруженного бесконечными нарративами, повествованиями и историями. Однако, несмотря на эту бурю смыслов вокруг, мы, кажется, утратили возможность чувствовать и понимать истинное повествование — и оказались в "постнарративном мире". Цифровое общество полностью подчинено информации, и с каждым днем ускоря ется процесс «денарративизации». Поток информации, который, по сути, является бушующим океаном данных, "удушает дух" истории.

"Lohn, Preis und Profit" ist die Bezeichnung eines Vortragsmanuskripts von Karl Marx aus dem Jahre 1865, welches erstmals 1898 von Marx' Tochter Eleanor veröffentlicht wurde. Es beinhaltet die marxsche Mehrwerttheorie in groben Zügen, wie sie im Kapital von 1867 ausführlich dargestellt ist. Die etwa 50 Seiten lange Schrift entstand für einen Vortrag, den Marx während der Sitzungen des Generalrats der Internationalen Arbeiterassoziation am 20. und 27. Juni 1865 hielt.

In my eighty-eight years as a well-educated wonderer, many of my assumed facts have been proven wrong. I see that as progress a good thing. The challenge is to be able to accept that one of your lifelong facts just isn't true. I have only a few things that I learned that have stayed true so far and have been stabilizers in my world. I think they can be of use to almost everyone and need sharing.
