Timothy Williamson tackles some of the key questions surrounding philosophy in new and provocative ways, showing how philosophy begins in common sense curiosity, and develops through our capacity to dispute rationally with each other. Discussing philosophy's ability to clarify our thoughts, he explains why such clarification depends on the development of philosophical theories, and how those theories can be tested by imaginative thought experiments, and compared against each other by standards similar to those used in the natural and social sciences.

Under the light of ancient Western philosophies, our darker moods like grief, anguish, and depression can seem irrational. When viewed through the lens of modern psychology, they can even look like mental disorders. The self-help industry, determined to sell us the promise of a brighter future, can sometimes leave us feeling ashamed that we are not more grateful, happy, or optimistic. Night Vision invites us to consider a different approach to life, one in which we stop feeling bad about feeling bad.

Dans la veine de son célèbre Crépuscule des Idoles, ce recueil d'aphorismes qui ne fut jamais achevé par l'auteur—le projet initial fut abandonné en 1888—visait à exposer l'ensemble de sa doctrine dans un ouvrage synthétique. L'existence même de ce livre suscita de vives polémiques et aujourd'hui encore la fiabilité de certains passages reste à prouver, des études philologiques récentes ayant mis à découvert de nombreuses erreurs que n'aurait pu commettre Frédéric Nietzsche.

Il senso più profondo della visione di Osho si rivela in tutta la sua potenza in questa serie di interviste da lui volute per far conoscere la sua proposta esperienziale al mondo intero. Come lui stesso spiega: "Per tutta la vita non ho fatto altro che stare da solo e pormi come la maggioranza dell'unico, contro il mondo intero. E il motivo per cui ho avuto la forza per oppormi al mondo intero è questo: ho trovato la sorgente della mia vita. Non dipendo da nessuno. Non ho bisogno di essere ammirato, non necessito di complimenti, ricompense o premi Nobel. Io basto a me stesso."

Hegel is regarded as one of the most influential figures on modern political and intellectual development. After painting Hegel's life and times in broad strokes, Peter Singer goes on to tackle some of the more challenging aspects of Hegel's philosophy. Offering a broad discussion of Hegel's ideas and an account of his major works, Singer explains what have often been considered abstruse and obscure ideas in a clear and inviting manner.

Perché ci sono così tanti bicorni e nessun unicorno, se un corno è più semplice di due? Heidegger raccomandava ai suoi uditori di accostarsi a quella immensa e candida supercazzola che è lo "Zarathustra" con la stessa dedizione e pensosità riservata ai trattati aristotelici, Ferraris avanza analoga richiesta per unicorni, bicorni, ornitorinchi, e per la supercazzola vera e propria, quella di Tognazzi in "Amici miei". Margini o briciole di filosofia, queste entità minori riservano più scoperte che Essere, Nulla e Divenire.

Gurdjieff warned against taking anything literally or on faith and advised accepting only experience that could be lived oneself. He also said that one has to find out “how to know” and that understanding knowledge of being depends on the “level of being.” The aim of the Fourth Way is toward a change of being—from the level of man number one, two, and three to that of man number four. Stephen Grant offers a profound reassessment of Gurdjieff’s role as a spiritual leader and the Fourth Way in terms of esoteric theory.
