Pour quelles raisons l'intelligence peut-elle conduire à l'idiotie ? Il arrive en effet que des personnes brillantes ou cultivées paraissent parfois stupides ou agissent de manière inepte : en recherchant l'inouï, la performance et la perfection ; en voulant tout comprendre et avoir raison ; en modelant le réel à leur convenance. Affirmer son intelligence au détriment de l'intelligence elle-même : c'est à ce paradoxe que cet ouvrage s'attache, partant du principe que le génie académique ne garantit pas nécessairement la sagesse ni l'ingéniosité dans la vie quotidienne.

Au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance, les philosophes vont mener trois combats : les théologiens médiévaux intègrent les valeurs chrétiennes à la philosophie antique ; les philosophes chrétiens et mystiques opposent à la toute-puissance théologique les bienfaits de la philosophie antique ; les humanistes de la Renaissance réenchantent le monde et inspirent le renouveau de la métaphysique. Cet ouvrage cherche à mieux comprendre les relations entre philosophie et christianisme et redécouvre le mystère des penseurs de la Renaissance.

Avec ses racines, son fût et ses branchages, l'arbre relie le ciel, la terre et le monde souterrain. Symbole parfait puisqu'il réunit tous les niveaux du réel, il lie la matière et l'esprit, l'inconscient et le conscient, le réel et le rêve. Synthèse du monde, l'arbre incarne la vie inépuisable, la réalité absolue, le sacré par excellence. Comme la poésie, le langage symbolique crée une passerelle vers les idées les plus puissantes grâce à l'imagination. Loin de la simple rêverie, la voie symbolique donne de l'unité et du sens à nos consciences souvent éparpillées.

Schopenhauer expone una visión del mundo como una dualidad: por un lado, la representación, que es el mundo como lo percibimos a través de nuestros sentidos; y por otro, la voluntad, la fuerza ciega y primordial que subyace a toda existencia.

Once upon a time, I thought strength meant being unshakable. Stoic. Unmoved. The human equivalent of a marble monument to toughness—minus the abs. Society loves to feed us this outdated, steel-jawed fantasy that vulnerability is weakness, that strength is about never cracking, never faltering, never feeling.

La libertad primera y última es considerado por muchos como el mejor libro de Krishnamurti. Aldous Huxley, en su esclarecedor prólogo, se pregunta: ¿qué es exactamente lo que nos propone el sabio hindú? Y la respuesta es que no se trata de un sistema de creencias, ni de un catálogo de dogmas, ni de un repertorio de ideas, ni de una clase de yoga; lo esencial es trascender los símbolos y alcanzar la libertad de cada instante. Esta libertad surge con la superación del ego, pero también de los "sistemas" de pensamiento organizado.

Let go of overthinking, make peace with uncertainty, and discover a calmer way of living—without needing to attend meditation retreats, follow rigid philosophies, or master complicated teachings. The Monkey and the Way of Zen is a lighthearted yet profound journey told through 28 short stories, following a restless Monkey and his encounters with a wise Master. As the Monkey stumbles through his questions, doubts, and frustrations, he begins to uncover a quieter truth beneath the noise of his thoughts.

The world we all live in is being transformed. This is the story of a boy asking many questions as his life journey begins in the evangelical church setting of America during the indulgent, colorful decade of the 1970s. His yearning for truth and understanding cause him to trust the authorities that be. The tendency of life is to bury the past and move on. What else can we do? He pursues happiness and builds his kingdom on earth. However, in midlife, his kingdom begins to unravel and crumble. Then the world begins to crumble. In the depths of unforeseen despair, he cries out to God, "Why?"

This guerilla-glue release by the Mississippi native addresses the horrific terror of intraracial homicides and some of the actions required to curtail these continual genocides. “The climate of today’s society is far too negative and divided,” Mylia complains. “I believe these problems live within people.

In this book, Shi Heng Yi, founder of Shaolin Temple Europe and lay disciple of the Songshan Shaolin Temple, introduces us to the contemplative practice that underpins Shaolin – a way of life that has existed for over 1,500 years – and shows how it can help us today.

"Acerca del alma" es una de las obras más influyentes de la historia del pensamiento occidental. En ella, Aristóteles analiza la naturaleza del alma humana, no como una entidad separada del cuerpo, sino como la forma de un cuerpo vivo, aquello que le da vida, propósito y capacidad.

Sobre la firmeza del sabio, en este breve pero poderoso tratado, Séneca, uno de los grandes representantes del estoicismo, sostiene que el verdadero sabio es invulnerable al daño moral, sin importar las injusticias o agresiones externas que enfrente. La enseñanza central es clara y profundamente práctica: nada externo puede perturbar al que ha conquistado su interior.

Neben Auszügen aus den Schriften des großen Nolaners und der Darstellung einiger Szenen und seines unsteten Lebensweges bis hin zu der Ermordung des Philotheus durch die kirchenchristliche Inquisition wird mit diesem Hörbuch das Bruno'schen Denken auch als ein unauslöschliches Glied einer weiten Ideengeschichte angedeutet, als Teil eines "Welt"-Geistes, in dessen tiefem Grundvertrauen in die menschliche Intuition Gottes- und Selbsterkenntnis in rückhaltloser Lebensbejahung als eine untrennbare Einheit erfahren werden. "Du bist ein Bruchstück Gottes.

Jonathan Sacks was an outstanding moral authority of our time and bestselling author of The Dignity of Difference. One of Judaism’s most distinctive and challenging ideas is its ethics of responsibility. We have been given the gift of freedom and we in turn have to honour and enhance the freedom of others. More than in any previous generation, we have been tempted to imagine that it is the individual’s needs which are the sole source of meaning.

Sacks argues that faiths must remain open to criticism, keep alive their separate communities and still contribute far more to national debates on moral issues. They must also learn to get along better. His thesis is that we still live under a Biblical canopy and that a cohesive morality needs the uniting bonds of faith. The subject of this book—religions and ethics—is good ground for him to build on: The Jewish contribution to ethics is distinctly rational and has a long and illustrious tradition. Moral philosophy is after all a Jewish preoccupation.

The Dignity of Difference was the first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization. At the time of writing, the politics of identity had began to replace the politics of ideology that dominated the globe in the twentieth-century. Now Rabbi Sack’s heartfelt, clear-sighted and radical proposal for how we might reconcile our differences without violence is as relevant as ever. In it, Sacks argues that we must do more than just search for values common to all faiths.

Comment se sent-on lorsque les chansons qu’on aime, les films qui nous font rêver, les artistes qu’on admire sont jugés et moqués ? Qu’éprouve-t-on lorsqu’on réalise que ce mépris est la face visible d’un continuum de domination bien plus grand ? Revenant sur son histoire, Rose Lamy raconte le coût d’une existence déterminée par la classe sociale. La mort prématurée, les emplois aliénants, les déserts sociaux et médicaux... Elle montre tout ce que la figure du beauf et ses avatars permettent d’invisibiliser.
