El arte de ser feliz es una pequeña joya literaria y un valioso libro de cabecera, que reúne cincuenta reglas para la vida que cualquier persona puede aplicar. Arthur Schopenhauer solía dedicarse a la redacción de pequeños tratados como este, a los que concebía como textos para su uso práctico personal.

True power is living the realization that you are your own healer, hero, and leader. Inward is a collection of poetry, quotes, and prose that explores the movement from self-love to unconditional love, the power of letting go, and the wisdom that comes when we truly try to know ourselves. It serves as a reminder to the listener that healing, transformation, and freedom are possible.

Texte majeur de la philosophie politique, le "Discours de la servitude volontaire" a fait de La Boétie un des précurseurs de la désobéissance civile. Il pose la question de la légitimité de l'autorité sur une population, pour devenir un véritable mode d'emploi pour ne pas être dupe du pouvoir : ce n'est pas en luttant contre la tyrannie qu'on peut l'abattre, mais en comprenant ses mécanismes pour ne plus en être dupe.

Reason, we are told, is what makes us human, the source of our knowledge and wisdom. If reason is so useful, why didn't it also evolve in other animals? If reason is that reliable, why do we produce so much thoroughly reasoned nonsense? In their groundbreaking account of the evolution and workings of reason, Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber set out to solve this double enigma.

Postmodernism has become the buzzword of contemporary society over the last decade. But how can it be defined? In this highly engaging introduction, the mysteries of this most elusive of concepts are unraveled, casting a critical light upon the way we live now, from the politicizing of museum culture to the cult of the politically correct. The key postmodernist ideas are explored and challenged, as they figure in the theory, philosophy, politics, ethics, and artwork of the period, and it is shown how they have interacted within a postmodernist culture. 

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.

“L’essere umano è una malattia. Le malattie lo colpiscono, ma l’uomo in quanto tale è a sua voltauna malattia. Quello è il suo problema, ed è anche la sua unicità; quella è la sua buona sorte, ma al tempo stesso è la sua sfortuna. Nessun altro animale sulla Terra ha un problema simile, nessuno deve confrontarsi con una simile ansia, con quella tensione, con quel disagio, con un simile stato patologico; cosa che invece l’essere umano deve fare”. Osho

"Que otros se jacten de las páginas que han escrito; a mí me enorgullecen las que he leído", decía Borges. Y es que los buenos libros nos transforman; un pasaje, por breve que sea, puede despertar la curiosidad del lector y animarlo a leer una obra que cambie su vida para siempre. He ahí el poder de la literatura, que no sólo nos abre horizontes, sino que deposita en nosotros, de manera lenta pero constante, la clave para entender la vida.

"Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable." So begins Thomas Nagel's classic 1974 essay "What is it Like to be a Bat?" Nagel's essay initiated the now widespread attention to consciousness as a central problem for philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience; it also influenced the recognition of the consciousness of nonhuman creatures as an important subject of study.
