Marcus Aurelius, one of the great rulers of the Roman Empire, sets forth a series of self-reflective essays intended as a guide for his own self-improvement. Written during the turning points of his life and divided into twelve books, Meditations ponders life’s greatest questions in the author’s search for a meaningful existence. Remarkably, they are no different from the questions we ask ourselves today - from finding happiness to understanding our place in the cosmos. Centuries after Aurelius’s death, Meditations remains a profound source of inspiration.

A tavola, in casa, nella ricerca biomedica: la presenza degli animali pervade ogni aspetto della nostra cultura e vita quotidiana. Nulla di meno scontato: negli ultimi decenni i nostri rapporti con gli animali sono stati fortemente ridefiniti. Dal veganesimo al bando sull'uso degli animali nei test dell'industria cosmetica, i movimenti animalisti hanno sfidato tradizioni secolari con azioni eclatanti di grande impatto mediatico e con pressanti campagne di sensibilizzazione.

La paradójica utilidad a la que me refiero no es la misma en cuyo nombre se consideran inútiles los saberes humanísticos y, más en general, todos los saberes que no producen beneficios. En una acepción muy distinta y mucho más amplia, he querido poner en el centro de mis reflexiones la idea de utilidad de aquellos saberes cuyo valor esencial es del todo ajeno a cualquier finalidad utilitarista.

This second edition of the Very Short Introduction on ethics has revised and updated aspects of the original to reflect changing times and mores. It highlights the importance of an understanding of approaches to ethics and its foundations, confronted as we are with a fluid and uncertain world of eroding trust, swirling conspiracy theories, and a dismaying loss of respect in public discourse. 

Expanding on his ideas from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche's radical polemic Beyond Good and Evil undermines the assumptions of traditional morality and encourages us to think more critically about the world in which we live.

Nietzsche never recovered from his mental breakdown in 1889 and therefore was unable to further any plans he had for the ‘magnum opus’ he had once intended, bringing together in a coherent whole his mature philosophy. It was left to his close friend Heinrich Köselitz and his sister Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche to go through the remaining notebooks and unpublished writings, choosing sections of particular interest to produce The Will to Power, giving it the subtitle An Attempted Transvaluation of All Values.

Artificial intelligence powers Google's search engine, enables Facebook to target advertising, and allows Alexa and Siri to do their jobs. AI is also behind self-driving cars, predictive policing, and autonomous weapons that can kill without human intervention. These and other AI applications raise complex ethical issues that are the subject of ongoing debate. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible synthesis of these issues.

Challenging, with several powerful arguments, some of our deepest beliefs about rationality, morality, and personal identity, Parfit claims that we have a false view about our own nature. It is often rational to act against our own best interests, he argues, and most of us have moral views that are self-defeating. We often act wrongly, although we know there will be no one with serious grounds for complaint, and when we consider future generations it is very hard to avoid conclusions that most of us will find very disturbing. 

The Conquest of Happiness (1930) is Bertrand Russell’s short, practical guide to living more happily in the modern world. Russell argues that much unhappiness comes from patterns of thought and social pressures—like envy, fear of opinion, boredom, and the obsessive pursuit of status—and that these can be unlearned.

Una pequeña joya que une ética y estética. El autor utiliza el universal símbolo de las flores para invitarnos a visitar nuestro jardín interior en una metáfora tan poética como útil a la hora de conducirnos en el viaje que nos propone.

"Es geht zu Ende mit der alten Wahrheit." Die alte Wahrheit, das sind laut Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) die Götzen ihrer Zeit, die es quasi mit dem Hammer zu zerschlagen gilt. Im letzten Jahr seines Schaffens (1888) beschritt Nietzsche damit den Weg der "Umwertung aller Werte" weiter - bevor ihn die Geisteskrankheit ereilte. Sein ungeduldiger Tonfall lässt vermuten, dass Nietzsche ahnte, was ihm bevorstand...

Para los antiguos, la justicia iba mucho más allá que lo que sucedía en un tribunal. Era mucho más urgente que las ideas que se debatían en las aulas de Filosofía. Implicaba una forma de vida, el compromiso personal de hacer lo correcto por difícil que fuera.

In "Also sprach Zarathustra" bringt Friedrich Nietzsche die Kerngedanken seiner Philosophie in großer Dichtung zum Ausdruck. Die ewige Wiederkunft des Gleichen, der Übermensch, der Wille zur Macht: All dies findet sich in diesem monolithisch dastehenden Werk und bündelt sich in der feurigen Figur des Zarathustra. Der Sprecher Volker Braumann legt hier mit dem ersten Teil des Zarathustra eine mitreißende wie verständige neue Lesung des Textes vor.
