The Blind Spot goes where no science book goes, urging us to create a new scientific culture that views ourselves both as an expression of nature and as a source of nature's self-understanding, so that humanity can flourish in the new millennium.

Combining ideas from philosophy, artificial intelligence, and neurobiology, Daniel Dennett leads the listener on a fascinating journey of inquiry, exploring such intriguing possibilities as: Can any of us really know what is going on in someone else's mind? What distinguishes the human mind from the minds of animals, especially those capable of complex behavior? If such animals, for instance, were magically given the power of language, would their communities evolve an intelligence as subtly discriminating as ours?

“Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius is a timeless collection of philosophical reflections written by the Roman Emperor during moments of solitude and self-examination. Rooted in Stoic philosophy, the work explores themes such as self-discipline, mortality, resilience, and the pursuit of virtue amidst the burdens of leadership. This edition features the classic English translation by Meric Casaubon, whose 17th-century prose preserves the gravity, elegance, and moral clarity of the original text.

Discover Henry David Thoreau’s philosophy of living a good life and learn how to apply it to your own.

La obra Del sentimiento trágico de la vida, escrita por Miguel de Unamuno, es una de las reflexiones filosóficas más intensas y personales de la literatura hispana. Aunque no fue concebida como un libro de autoayuda en el sentido tradicional, sus páginas contienen una profunda invitación a la introspección, al crecimiento espiritual y a la búsqueda de sentido en medio de la incertidumbre. Desde una perspectiva existencial, el libro nos ofrece herramientas para afrontar las preguntas más fundamentales de la vida humana.

In Thoreau’s God, Richard Higgins invites seekers—religious or otherwise—to walk with the great Transcendentalist through a series of meditations on his spiritual life. Thoreau offers us no creed, but his writings encourage reflection on how to live, what to notice, and what to love. Though his quest was deeply personal, Thoreau devoted his life to communicating his experience of an infinite, wild, life-giving God.

Während der Jahre des Ersten Weltkrieges widmete sich Steiner intensiv der Verteidigung seiner anthroposophischen Geisteswissenschaft gegen zeitgenössische Kritiker. Die Schrift ›Vom Menschenrätsel‹ von 1916 ist Ausdruck dieser Bemühungen. Steiner legt darin Wert darauf, die Anthroposophie methodisch klarer zu fassen als in früheren Texten und deren Forschungsansatz in den Kontext des deutschen und österreichischen Geisteslebens zu stellen. Besonders betont Steiner in dieser Schrift auch das Verhältnis der Anthroposophie zum Deutschen Idealismus (Fichte, Schelling, Hegel)

A curiosidade intelectual, a empatia e o otimismo que caracterizam o pensamento humanista servem de inspiração há séculos. Sarah Bakewell reúne neste livro as mais extraordinárias jornadas de homens e mulheres que, desde os anos 1300 até os nossos dias, revolucionaram o modo de pensar e existir no mundo. Ao longo dos séculos, houve muitos humanistas. Foram estudiosos exilados, andarilhos que sobreviviam de expedientes e palavras. No início da era moderna, vários deles se complicaram com a Inquisição.

Peut-on penser l’actualité malgré son innommable barbarie qui nous laisse sans voix? Relire Spinoza sonne aujourd’hui comme une nécessité.

Though born to a poor but pious family of ribbon weavers in Saxony in 1762, Johann Gottlieb's exceptional intelligence was apparent from an early age. Remarkably, from this humble background, he earned himself a respected place in the pantheon of late 18th and early 19th century German philosophers. In the 20th and 21st century, his importance and contribution to Western philosophy has been increasingly acknowledged. There are two substantial lecture series and one essay stemming from his time in Berlin in Popular Works Volume 2: much of Fichte's important work appeared initially in lectures.

На тему любви написаны тысячи книг и сказано такое множество слов, что одному человеку невозможно объять все их количество. Осмыслить ее как целостный духовный феномен, стало возможным благодаря философии. Первые попытки рационального осмысления любви были предприняты в Античности: Сократ считал, что истинная любовь вдохновляет человека на поиск истины, способствует духовному росту и преодолению эгоистических устремлений. Платон первым составил ее классификацию, определив виды.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) was the forerunner of the post-Kantian idealists and remains one of the most important figures in German philosophy. Throughout his career, Fichte published, in addition to his systematic or "scientific" treatises, the best known of which is the "Foundation of the Entire Wissenchaftslehre (1794-5), a series of works directed at the general public.

“In wildness is the preservation of the world.” Here are three of Thoreau’s most famous talks brought together in one volume. “Walking,” “Autumnal Tints,” and “Wild Apples” are all autumn essays—contemplative, deliberate, and insightful. They are profound reflections on nature, beauty, and our place in the world. In 1862, during Thoreau’s last weeks, he received a request from The Atlantic Monthly’s new editor, James Fields, to submit some of his work. These three were all published that year, after his death

Ser humano es un arte. No es una ciencia. Si fuera una ciencia, tendríamos definiciones aceptadas, teorías confirmadas, respuestas unívocas, protocolos y manuales para la vida. Pero no los tenemos. Ser humano es un arte. Un arte que cada individuo—con todos los deseos, incertidumbres, dudas, miedos y derrotas que son inherentes a nuestra existencia—tiene que dominar. Sólo así podremos alcanzar nuestra humanidad, la cual nos permitirá vivir en la verdad, crear belleza, ser justos, tener compasión.

La rebeldía de pensar explica claramente qué es pensar, pero también enseña a pensar. Basándose en preguntas clave (¿qué es pensar?, ¿por qué soy?, ¿el ser es?, ¿por qué hay ser?) Óscar de la Borbolla guía al lector por los grandes temas de la filosofía; todo encaminado a fomentar la duda como método y brindando las herramientas necesarias para responder esas preguntas a la vez que desarrolla temas como el sentido de la vida, la libertad, la acción, la felicidad.

Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) was already an established figure in the fields of philosophy, biology, sociology, anthropology and with an established interest in evolution, when Darwin produced his ground-breaking On the Origin of the Species (1859). But Spencer viewed evolution in wider terms—including ‘the social organism, ethical and metaphysical matters.' He was keen to offer a complete framework of the philosophy of evolution and, in 1862, published his First Principles.

David Hume (1711-1776) remains one of the most stimulating and entertaining writers in the English essay tradition. Though primarily known for long-form writings, he was adept at taking one subject and looking at it in a more concise but accessible manner.

Warum verläuft das Leben nicht immer so, wie man es geplant hat? Gibt es einen Gott, und wenn ja, was bedeutet das? Und: Gibt es für solche Fragen überhaupt eine Antwort? Autorin Nada Kostic beschäftigt sich in "Geistesblitz" mit tiefgründigen Fragen. Dieses Hörbuch bietet Erklärungsansätze für viele, insbesondere aber für die großen Aspekte des Lebens.

This book is more than Porter's own story. It also invites those who may be in the deconstruction process themselves to consider the perspective of someone who was tempted to leave his faith—yet stayed. And it provides theological insight and pastoral support to those who worry that everyone is bailing out on the church.
