Ve ne sarete accorti: il mondo è cambiato. Senza alcun preavviso. Gli uomini si depilano come modelle e le donne hanno schiene tatuate come i marinai. I cani vanno in giro con le scarpe, mentre il prof consulta lo smartphone con un paio di occhiali fluo. Sì, qualcosa è cambiato là fuori e, a furia di stropicciarsi gli occhi, si rischia lo strabismo (di Venere e pure di Marte). A chi rivolgersi dunque per chiedere spiegazioni? Allo chef a cinque stelle? Al tipo del meteo? All’industriale della scarpa? No di certo: alla grande filosofia occidentale, dalle origini a oggi.

È da un inciampo che il filosofo Maurizio Ferraris parte per ragionare attorno all’esistenza, alla stratificazione di esperienze e memorie che sono il modo in cui ciascuno di noi impara a vivere. Vivere, sopravvivere, previvere, convivere sono le stazioni attraverso cui questo libro ci fa passare per riflettere su un mélange di argomenti che ruotano attorno alla vita e a come si possa imparare a vivere. Se lo spunto è una battuta d’arresto accidentale, capillare, profonda e non casuale è la considerazione della propria intera esistenza, della piega che ha preso nel tempo.

İlk defa 1882'de RusskajaMyslj adlı bir dergide yayınlanan İtiraflarım adlı bu eseri Tolstoy, elli yaşında geçirdiği manevi krizden sonra kaleme almıştır. İçine düştüğü bu kriz sonrasında aradığı kurtuluş yollarını ve bu sırada geçirdiği fikri, ahlaki ve dini gelişmeleri anlatır. Tolstoy, eninde sonunda ölecek olduğu bu hayatın anlamını bulmaya çalışır. İnsanlığın yaratılıştan beri sorduğu Ben neden varım?, Hayatın anlamı ne?, Ölümlü dünyada tüm bu çaba niye? sorularına cevap arar. Bu anlam arayışı önce bilimle başlar. Fakat bilimin verdiği cevaplardan tatmin olmaz ve felsefeye yönelir.

Our Western cultural conversation, as invented by Plato, is made up of a dialectic between unity and diversity. Plato had thought to harmonize the unchangeableness of Parmenides with the constant change of the thinker Heraclitus. He invented this universe in which we have, up until now, been happily living. Unfortunately, the diversity/progressive side of this conversation has now destroyed whatever unity we could ever hope to have. The universe is kaput.

It's time to admit that we, the people of this planet, have lost faith in conventional tactics for maintaining order in the world. The time-tattered trio—violence, war, and self-serving politicians—have only made things worse. More importantly, we've lost faith in ourselves and the essential goodness of human nature.

Recognizing the power of the new and trying to understand and promote the conditions that make it possible, the Greeks were the first to write about innovation and even the first to record a word for forging something new. In short, the Greeks "invented" innovation itself - and they still have a great deal to teach us about it. How to Innovate is an engaging introduction to key ideas about - and examples of - innovation and creative thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D'Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus.

Hvad kendetegner kærlighed? Det er det store spørgsmål, som "Kierkegaard og kærlighedens kendetegn" forsøger at give svar på. Søren Kierkegaards bog "Kjerlighedens Gjerninger" udkom i 1847. Den har siden opnået nærmest ikonisk status; det er en bog, der bliver refereret til og citeret fra i mange forskellige sammenhænge, og det er en af den slags bøger, der kan være livsforandrende for sin læser. Men det er også en bog, der har ry for at være svær at læse.

Was ist Raum? Was ist Zeit? Was die Bedingungen der Möglichkeit von Erfahrung und Wissenschaft? Diese Fragen beschäftigen Philosophen seit jeher. Im ersten Teil seiner bahnbrechenden Kritik der reinen Vernunft, der von ihm sogenannten "Transzendentalen Ästhetik", gibt Immanuel Kant auf diese zwei Fragen Antworten, die die Diskussion darüber auf ein bis dahin noch nicht erreichtes Niveau hoben und die Philosophie im engeren Sinne wie auch den sich bereits zu seiner Zeit mehr und mehr verzweigenden modernen Wissenschaften ein neues erkenntnistheoretisches Fundament gaben.

El dinero es uno de los pilares de la sociedad tal y como la conocemos. Todos lo utilizamos cotidianamente sin que su empleo presuponga ningún conocimiento específico en materia económica; y sin embargo, para entender qué es el dinero y cómo funciona es preciso recurrir a la filosofía, más aún cuando las crisis y las transformaciones históricas que estamos viviendo imponen una reflexión profunda sobre su papel en el mundo contemporáneo.

Марк Твен умел несколькими словами выразить истинную суть любого явления, охарактеризовать человека или описать ситуацию так, что это становилось афоризмом. Всю жизнь он изучал человечество, бездны его пороков и вершины величия. В своих произведениях Марк Твен смеялся над ним – иронично, зло, с состраданием. Он как будто подносил зеркало и говорил: смотрите, люди, вы вот какие, исправьтесь. Никто вам не поможет: ни царь, ни бог, ни герой, ни демократия. Давайте сами. Предлагаем и вам, дорогие читатели, посмотреться в это зеркало. Приобщиться к искусству размышлять о времени и о себе.
