This book is my philosophy, a combination of stoicism, existentialism, Platonism, and Daoism, written (mostly) in the style of a classical Taoist text for no other reason than that it amused me and seemed like a good idea at the time. I hope this unique and exotic style allows you see my perspectives on values, politics, society, wisdom, and religion with fresh eyes and an open mind. My goal was to make an accessible book filled with (hopefully) timeless wisdom that I could proudly point to as an explanation of what I believe, why I believe it, and why you should consider it as well.

Dike, la Giustizia, figlia degli Dei, sarà forse costretta, alla fine del suo destino, a coincidere con Nomos, il diritto posto dalla volontà umana uscita da una guerra vittoriosa? La Giustizia apparirebbe allora come un fatto, indisgiungibile dal fatto del potere e delle sue leggi. Oppure Dike, la Giustizia, fa segno, indica qualcosa che trascende i fatti, e che tuttavia deve coi fatti del potere e delle leggi implicarsi? Ecco l'interrogazione eterna della nostra civiltà.

Proprio come l'Idra, il mostro mitologico le cui teste, mozzate da Ercole, avevano il potere di rinascere raddoppiandosi, il capitalismo, un tempo solo occidentale oggi planetario, ricompare sulla scena del mondo riproponendo nuove e più sofisticate forme di schiavitù. Ma se è vero che dai grandi conflitti del '900 il capitalismo è uscito vincitore trionfando su ogni rivoluzione, è altrettanto vero che "l'uguaglianza è una necessità che si ripresenta continuamente, come la fame".

This small booklet explores the latest theories of consciousness as developed by Michio Kaku, Christof Koch, and Michael Shermer, with a special focus on a new form of scientific animism, where animals and other life forms are now recognized to have awareness and the capacity to feel pain and suffering. Part of a presentation for the Dayalbagh Studies on Consciousness in Agra, India.

This scholarly essay examines John Champlain Gardner's attack on existential nihilism in his satirical work Grendel. This lengthy essay has been referenced in numerous critical works on Gardner's satirical classic about an existential monster who chooses to construct a worldview based on chaos, violence, and absolute anarchy.

Do you find yourself confronted with the nagging feeling that you should be doing more, making better decisions, being a better person, and wanting more out of your life? Once upon a time in Ancient China, there was a farmer with a brand-new horse. One day, his horse ran away. His neighbors gathered around him and said “It is so unfortunate for your horse to run away.”

Ob das Habermas'sche Werk eine Ethik der Moderne ist, will Detlef Forster mit seiner Darstellung der Habermans'schen Philosophie beantworten. Es ist eine Analyse, welche von Heidegger bis zur nationalen Einheit 1990 reicht und besonderes Augenmerk auf die enge Nähe von Theorie und gesellschaftlicher Praxis betont.

Arthur Schopenhauers Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit liefern Denkanstöße zur Corona-Krise. Wie wichtig ist es, Leid zu vermeiden? Wie wichtig ist es demgegenüber, sich zu vergnügen? Wie viel geht verloren, wenn wir mit dem Ziele, Leid zu vermeiden, Feiern und größere Treffen absagen? In geschliffener Sprache und mit einer Prise Humor schildert Schopenhauer seinen pessimistischen Blick auf das Leben. In der Pandemie regt Schopenhauers zeitloser Text an, das ein oder andere abgesagte Fest mit größerer Gelassenheit zu nehmen. Gelesen von Benjamin Lucas.

In Breakfast with Seneca, philosopher David Fideler mines Seneca's classic works in a series of focused chapters, clearly explaining Seneca's ideas without oversimplifying them. Best enjoyed as a daily ritual, like an energizing cup of coffee, Seneca's wisdom provides us with a steady stream of time-tested advice about the human condition - which, as it turns out, hasn't changed much over the past 2,000 years.

L'ansia della psichiatria di accreditarsi come scienza, sul modello delle scienze della natura, ha portato all'oggettivazione del folle nella più completa rimozione della sua soggettività. Quello che per un greco antico era un "invasato dal dio", per un medievale un "posseduto dal demonio", per la scienza psichiatrica diventa un "malato". L'uso di termini come mente e corpo, apparato psico-fisico, psico-somatico, bio-psicologico dicono che la psichiatria non ha mai riconosciuto l'unità dell'esistenza, ma solo la composizione delle parti.

In the coming decades, the technology that enables virtual and augmented reality will improve beyond recognition. Within a century, world-renowned philosopher David J. Chalmers predicts, we will have virtual worlds that are impossible to distinguish from non-virtual worlds. But is virtual reality just escapism? In a highly original work of 'technophilosophy', Chalmers argues categorically, no: virtual reality is genuine reality. Virtual worlds are not second-class worlds. We can live a meaningful life in virtual reality - and increasingly, we will.

On June 22, 1936, the philosopher Moritz Schlick was on his way to deliver a lecture at the University of Vienna when Johann Nelböck, a deranged former student of Schlick's, shot him dead on the university steps. Some Austrian newspapers defended the madman, while Nelböck himself argued in court that his onetime teacher had promoted a treacherous Jewish philosophy. David Edmonds traces the rise and fall of the Vienna Circle - an influential group of brilliant thinkers led by Schlick.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) war einer der Begründer des Transzendentalismus. Der Philosoph begründete eine neue Denkrichtung der Philosophie.

Sein Essay "Manieren - Manners" ist ein Klassiker, der sich mit guter Lebensführung befasst.

The empirical sciences make assumptions that they are not themselves capable of justifying. Philosophy justifies those assumptions; that is its job. Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Philosophical Knowledge, and learn about philosophy.

Democritus. Bring the Stranger, bring the Stranger. Let us see how he is put together. I smell one goodish ingredient, but the compound is newfangled, yes {sniffing), and ill mixed. Alcihiades. You can’t possibly scent him at this distance. Not even a dog could. For a Christian he is rather well washed. Democritus. Before you contradict an old man, my fair friend, you should endeavor to understand him. The Stranger might be as clean as a river-god, who cannot live out of running water, and I should not be prevented from discerning the odor of his thoughts.

We need a new philosophy of the earth. Geological time used to refer to slow and gradual processes, but today we are watching land sink into the sea and forests transform into deserts. We can even see the creation of new geological strata made of plastic, chicken bones, and other waste that could remain in the fossil record for millennia or longer. Crafting a philosophy of geology that rewrites natural and human history from the broader perspective of movement, Thomas Nail provides a new materialist, kinetic ethics of the earth that speaks to this moment.

Although there are many kinds of love, erotic love has been celebrated in art and poetry as life's most rewarding and exalting experience, worth living and dying for and bringing out the best in ourselves. And yet it has excused, and even been thought to justify, the most reprehensible crimes.
