Metaphysics Philosophy

No wonder Elias Canetti described it as "one of the few great and perfect works of the poetic imagination written". The Metamorphosis remains one of the best works of fiction in history. It is the story of a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, who wakes up to find himself being transformed to an insect-like creature. The story unfolds into one of the greatest short fiction stories ever written.

Were ancient Greek philosophers right about reality being only an illusion? What was really the biggest blunder of Einstein's life? Is everything we've been taught about the universe incorrect? In The Unobservable Universe, visionary scientist and engineer Scott M. Tyson successfully unravels cosmology from the level of rocket science and brings it down to Earth, demystifying the universe in terms that laymen can comprehend and enjoy, splitting atoms but not hairs on this magical mystery tour of the outback of time and space.

L'uomo viaggia alla ricerca di sé. Gettato nell'esistenza, batte il sentiero incolmabile della domanda, sempre la stessa: "da dove si viene, dove si va e perché". Eppure, a cospetto del vasto e silente mistero sull'Essere, capita che abbandoni la via, cercando riparo nella risposta tecnica oppure nel "fare" compulsivo e meccanico. L'enigma filosofico cade, ma non per questo l'Ente percepisce minor sofferenza psichica, minor timore nei confronti della fine e della caducità.

In this extended pamphlet, free-thinking advocate Henry Tichenor presents the life story of Gotama Buddha in the style of a hagiography, in which the fundamental doctrines of Buddhism are interwoven.

Are you considering attaining a new dream, but are exhausted just thinking about what it will take out of you to achieve success, again?

You do have the stamina to make your dreams come true, again - because this time you will do it differently. Discover how to surprisingly become more through allowing instead of attaining.

An inventor goes public and says, "I have created a magnetic sound vibration anti-gravity spaceship." The military hears this and replies, "It's ours now. Also, it does not exist," and sends the inventor to prison for reasons of national security, and the inventor is never heard from again. The news reports it as a standard weather balloon. All notes, documents, and prototypes vanish. And we, the public, are back to paying outrageous high airport travel fees. Anti-gravity is one of those controversial subjects...

The favorable reception accorded to my Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science has encouraged me to offer another book to my listeners. The present volume is written from the standpoint that we possess latent powers which a better knowledge of the truth regarding ourselves will enable us to develop, and that the purpose of the Bible is to lead us into this knowledge in a perfectly natural manner.

Mit tiefem Kenntnisreichtum bringt uns Hegel den Geist der Völker des alten Orients, der Antike und des christlichen Abendlandes nahe und verbindet sie zu einer Stufenfolge der Entwicklung der Freiheit. Alle Umwälzungen, aller Schmerz und alles Leid in der Geschichte sind der Idee geschuldet, dass der Mensch als Mensch frei ist. Sie ist der "Angelpunkt, um den sich die Weltgeschichte dreht". Hegels Weltgeschichte ist bis heute eine historische, philosophische und theologische Herausforderung.

Vierter Teil aus Hegels "Vorlesungen über die Philosophie der Geschichte".

Schopenhauer: here's when great philosophy can be somber, pessimistic, even brutal, and still resonate with a sarcastic laugh. He was among the first to contend that the universe is essentially not a rational place; in his most famous work, "The World as Will and Representation", he argues that the individuals of a species do not have as much free will as is ordinarily thought, as the only will that matters is that of the species, which is to reproduce and carry on. Schopenhauer is very well-known for his radical stance on women, aesthetics, and rhetoric.

Las obras filosóficas de Lucio Anneo SÉNECA han ejercido un duradero influjo sobre la cultura occidental y contienen una formulación significativa de las ideas del estoicismo maduro. "Sobre la felicidad" - De vita beata - plantea algunas cuestiones centrales de la ética antigua, como la relación del placer con la virtud y con la felicidad, el ideal humano, la figura del sabio, la significación del concepto de naturaleza aplicado al hombre, la justificación de las riquezas o los supuestos religiosos de la ética.

Does science have all the answers? Can it even deal with abstract reasoning that reaches beyond the world experienced by us? How can we be so sure that the physical world is sufficiently ordered to be intelligible to humans? How is it that mathematics, a product of human minds, can unlock the secrets of the physical universe? Are all such questions to be ruled out as inadmissible if science cannot settle them? Metaphysics has traditionally been understood as reasoning beyond the reach of science, sometimes even claiming realities that are beyond its grasp.

Transcendence and History is an analysis of what philosopher Eric Voegelin described as “the decisive problem of philosophy”: the dilemma of the discovery of transcendent meaning and the impact of this discovery on human self-understanding. The explicit recognition and symbolization of transcendent meaning originally occurred in a few advanced civilizations worldwide during the first millennium.

All living beings want to be eternally fulfilled and happy, without misery, without suffering. All of our struggles and all of our desires are to become fulfilled. It doesn't matter if we are fat or fit, poor or rich, Black or White, this country or that country--everybody across the board wants to be limitless, feel fulfilled, and feel lasting happiness without any misery.

El pensamiento es el gran poder del universo, pero para entenderlo debemos conocer sus principios fundamentales, las leyes inflexibles que sigue y que brindan libertad ilimitada al individuo. Thomas Troward nos muestra el inmenso poder que pueden otorgar las palabras «Yo Soy» o «el Verbo», escritos en la Biblia y que ninguna corriente filosófica ha podido igualar; además, nos muestra que a través de la palabra podemos alcanzar la Ley Perfecta, la cual es, en realidad, la ley de la libertad.

Existen poderes humanos que, debido al misterio que los envuelven, han sido poco explorados por el hombre, quedando en el olvido o siendo aprovechados por un grupo muy selecto. La mente y sus múltiples manifestaciones son capaces de lograr cosas inimaginables.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) ist bis heute einer der bedeutendsten Philosophen. Die Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten ist eine der wichtigsten Schriften Immanuel Kants. Sie wurde zum ersten Mal im Jahre 1785 gedruckt. Hier stellt Kant eine wesentliche Regel für sittliches Handeln vor, den kategorischen Imperativ: „Handle nur nach derjenigen Maxime, durch die du zugleich wollen kannst, dass sie ein allgemeines Gesetz werde.“ Dieses Audiobook gibt die Gelegenheit, hörend Kants Entfaltung des kategorischen Imperativs nachzuvollziehen.
