Titoli in Filosofia

This lecture series with Sarah Shaw looks at several texts in the Pali Canon from the Dīgha Nikāya, the “collection of long discourses”. Sarah explores the Buddha’s teachings on subjects, including meditation, ethics, meditative states, and conditionality. This series is an excellent foundation for understanding the underpinnings of all Buddhist philosophy. 

Toute philosophie est un combat. Son arme ? La bêtise, le fanatisme, l'obscurantisme. Ses alliées ? Les sciences. Son objet ? Le tout, avec l'homme dedans. Ou l'homme, mais dans le tout. Son bût ? La sagesse : le bonheur, mais dans la vérité. Philosopher, c'est penser par soi-même ; mais nul n'y parvient valablement qu'en s'appuyant d'abord sur la pensée des autres, et spécialement des grands philosophes du passé. La philosophie n'est pas seulement une aventure : elle est aussi un travail, qui ne va pas sans efforts, sans lectures, sans outils. Qu'est-ce que la philosophie ?

Pour apprendre la stratégie, qu'elle soit militaire, sociale ou quotidienne, ce sont les enseignements des plus grands qui mettent sur la voie de façon efficace. Le général, stratège et philosophe Sun Tzu a inspiré les plus grandes figures militaires et politiques, en passant par l'entreprenariat ; "l'Art de la guerre" est fait de maximes qui peuvent s'appliquer tant au champ de bataille qu'au quotidien.

There are qualities we all yearn to experience in our lives - peace, simplicity, grace, connection, clarity. Yet these qualities evade us, because each of them arises from an experience of wholeness, and we live in a culture that enforces divisions within each of us. In Radical Wholeness, Philip Shepherd shows the countless ways in which we are persuaded to separate from the body and live in the head. Disconnected from the body's intelligence, we also disconnect from the wholeness of the present.

Also sprach Zarathustra was conceived and written by Friedrich Nietzsche during the years 1881-1885; the first three Parts were published in 1883 and 1884. The book formed part of his "campaign against morality", in which Nietzsche explored the ethical consequences of the "death of God".

Before the birth of the universe, there existed your Original Face, the limitless Self that has been present throughout the unfolding of inert matter into life - and that continues to dwell within us at every level of consciousness. Where is this grand evolution taking us, and how can each of us participate in it more fully? On Kosmic Consciousness, Ken Wilber invites you to find out. Since the first publication of his groundbreaking ideas at the age of 23, Ken Wilber has sought to bring together the world's far-ranging spiritual teachings, philosophies, and scientific truths into one coherent and all-embracing vision.

In On the Genealogy of Morals, subtitled "A Polemic", Nietzsche furthers his pursuit of a clarity that is less tainted by imposed prejudices. He looks at the way attitudes towards 'morality' evolved and the way congenital ideas of morality were heavily colored by the Judaic and Christian traditions.

In Praise of Shadows is an eloquent tribute to the austere beauty of traditional Japanese aesthetics. Through architecture, ceramics, theatre, food, women, and even toilets, Tanizaki explains the essence of shadows and darkness, and how they are able to augment beauty. He laments the heavy electric lighting of the West and its introduction to Japan, and shows how the artificial, bright, and polished aesthetic of the West contrasts unfavorably with the moody and natural light of the East.

Considerada como una guía para gobernar, El príncipe desnuda la naturaleza humana a la hora de llegar al poder. Saber interpretar las motivaciones y necesidades que influyen en el comportamiento humano, es uno de los pilares de esta reconocida y controversial obra. Maquiavelo presenta enseñanzas políticas, principalmente enfocado en sistemas monárquicos, que también se ven reflejadas en las sociedades de la actualidad.

Por el autor del éxito editorial "El arte de pensar". La presión por destacar en una sociedad donde "el infierno de lo igual" se presenta como una fosa de la que nos exhortan a salir. La necesidad autoimpuesta de las check-list como rituales de obligada ejecución para alcanzar la felicidad. La "ideología de la personalidad" que se manifiesta en forma de bulimia emocional, donde acumulamos y acumulamos experiencias para vomitarlas ipso facto en las redes sociales. La dolorosa brecha, que se agranda por momentos, entre el yo real y el yo virtual.

When it appeared in 1670, Baruch Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise was denounced as the most dangerous book ever published. In A Book Forged in Hell, Steven Nadler tells the fascinating story of this extraordinary book: its radical claims and their background in the philosophical, religious, and political tensions of the Dutch Golden Age, as well as the vitriolic reaction these ideas inspired.

Nietzsches einziger sprachphilosophischer Essay, geschrieben 1873, veröffentlich 1896, vorgetragen von Benjamin Lucas. 

Author Cynthia Bourgeault investigates the imaginal realm - an energetic realm well known to the mystical traditions but often forgotten in our own times. It is invisible to the physical eye, but clearly perceptible through the eye of the heart. The imaginal realm has long been associated with the personal world of dreams, prophecy, and oracles, and it also points toward a higher vision of our human purpose that is both evolutionary and collective. Bourgeault explores both aspects of imaginal reality and tells listeners how we can cooperate more fully with its guidance in our lives.

Questo dialogo è uno scritto che mette a confronto due modi di pensare. L'Anima è Leonardo da Vinci, espressione di un conoscitivismo non più degli inizi, ma pur sempre incapace di distinguere le varie forme di pensiero (magico, religioso, filosofico, scientifico, ecc.), confondendole tra loro. La Mente è Silvio Ceccato, espressione di un atteggiamento che vuole evitare il dogmatismo, ogni forma di verità considerata in sé assoluta o in sé relativa.

In The Republic, Socrates is asked the question: "What is justice?" And in order to answer it, he draws a long and detailed analogy between the individual and the city. Plato’s work forms the foundation of Western philosophy and covers a wide range of topics including political theory and ethics, with extended digressions into artistic and literary criticism, the theory and practice of education as well as epistemology and metaphysics. 

La grandeza intelectual de Aristóteles, compuesta de talento polifacético, curiosidad insaciable, afición innata por la reflexión y (mucha) capacidad de trabajo; no podía dejar de interesarse por el más clásico de los problemas éticos: la felicidad. Mediante sus reflexiones, el alcanza a definir la felicidad como "una actividad del alma conforme a la virtud perfecta"; y además -añade- puede ser enseñada.

A filosofia de Confúcio era tão poderosa que dominou a vida intelectual na China antiga durante séculos. Chegou mesmo a ser considerada uma religião, e ainda existem templos onde Confúcio é adorado como o Deus da Cultura. Os seus escritos eram transmitidos como aforismos, cada um deles concentrava um ensino sobre filosofia, ética, ou sociedade.

Sólo sé que no sé nada. Pienso, luego existo. Todo lo sólido se desvanece en el aire. Dios ha muerto. Por medio de frases como esas, disparadores que estimulan el pensamiento, Darío Sztajnszrajber se propone sacar a la filosofía de los formatos que la hacen excluyente. Al hacerlo nos lleva a una conversación alucinada y alucinante con once ideas clásicas, tan pequeñas como para caber en un tuit y a la vez tan interminables como las búsquedas existenciales.
