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.

Every human being thrills at the thought of power. The thought means different things to different people. Power to you may mean mastery of your physical body, the ability to walk, run, play, to engage in ceaseless activity. To me, it may mean abundance, money, homes, cars - opulence. To another, power may mean education and the ability to influence people. Whatever power means to you, you desire a larger amount of it, a closer affiliation with it.

The world is changing its thought; in the past, those who believed in the perpetuation of youth were among the isolated few and were looked upon with suspicion by the many; in the present, the great majority desire to perpetuate their youth, and most believe it is possible.

Sorprende que a 140 años de la muerte de Schopenhauer aún existan textos inéditos de su obra. El amor es un sentimiento humano que puede crecer hasta opacar cualquier aspiración, determinación o certeza del individuo e incluso llevarlo a sacrificar su vida, y sin embargo, en palabras de Arthur Schopenhauer, había sido "totalmente ignorado por los filósofos" hasta que éste lo interpretó metafísica y trascendentemente.

"First and Last Things" is a 1908 work of philosophy by H. G. Wells setting forth his beliefs in four "books" entitled "Metaphysics," "Of Belief," "Of General Conduct," and "Some Personal Things." Parts of the book were published in the "Independent Magazine" in July and August 1908. Wells revised the book extensively in 1917, in response to his religious conversion, but later published a further revision in 1929 that restored much of the book to its earlier form. Its main intellectual influences are Darwinism and certain German thinkers Wells had read, such as August Weismann.

"Human, all-too-Human", is the monument of a crisis. It is entitled: 'A book for free spirits,' and almost every line in it represents a victory—in its pages I freed myself from everything foreign to my real nature. Idealism is foreign to me: the title says, 'Where you see ideal things, I see things which are only—human alas! all-too-human!' I know man better—the term 'free spirit' must here be understood in no other sense than this: a freed man, who has once more taken possession of himself.

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.

What sets this book apart is the fact that it is not just another science book describing scientific facts and phenomena! It would surely be redundant, since that task has been done many times over with much more elegant prose and brighter narrators. In this book, for the first time, we have undertaken the task of breaking the code of any piece of matter or natural phenomena, whether it is an atom, a quantum occurrence, a planet, a galaxy, or any other perceivable thing. It covers any natural phenomena ever discovered or one that will be unraveled by the future pioneers.

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.

Wie sehen Farben für andere Menschen aus? Wo endet das Universum und was kommt danach? Existiert die Welt wirklich, oder leben wir in einem Traum? Inspiriert von den Fragen seiner Söhne Rex und Hank stellt der Philosophieprofessor Scott Hershovitz sich den großen Fragen des Lebens. Er nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise durch die klassische und zeitgenössische Philosophie und enträtselt alte und neue Fragen der Metaphysik und Moral. Er erzählt von Kindern und anderen Philosophen – und erklärt, was wir von ihnen über Recht und Bestrafung, Gleichberechtigung und Verantwortung, Wahrheit und den Tod lernen können.

Las personas desconocen la existencia de ciertos instrumentos que son útiles para el logro de sus objetivos y de la excelencia. Algunos logran acercarse a ellos y alcanzan ciertos propósitos; otros, los ignoran por completo y viven erráticos, alejándose poco a poco de sus metas e ideales; finalmente, están aquellos que logran encontrar la "llave maestra" y alcanzan la cúspide. Pero, ¿qué simboliza esta llave? ¿qué puertas te abre? Y sobre todo, ¿qué puertas te permite cerrar?

Changing our relationship to the afterlife will transform our relationship to this world. As the worldview of monistic or analytic idealism displaces the obsolete model of reductive materialism, the values of our civilization will also change profoundly. Hence, on every level, this is a subject of primary importance for humanity's future.

Este libro se escribe desde una comprensión que sólo aquel que esté listo para recibirla podrá aceptarla...la simplicidad y la obviedad de este mensaje es tal, que para poder ser bienvenido habría primero que estar dispuesto a morir. La muerte de la que aquí se habla es la muerte de un concepto. El concepto “yo soy algo”. Ese algo del que aquí se hace referencia es “soy una entidad separada”.

Between You and the Universe explores the expansive concept of reality by breaking it into three parts: science, symbols, and experience. You can explore what these distinct parts are and how they interweave to stitch everything around you. The goal is to present three mental models that explain how your reality emerges, from your idea of self to your understandings of the universe.
