Modern Philosophy

De moderne mens is een paradoxaal wezen dat - hoe rationeel ook - bij de diepste levensbeslissingen liever op het gevoel dan op de rede terugvalt. Hij doorziet de natuur wetenschappelijk, maar laat zich even graag door haar overweldigen. Hij kan (bijna) alles, maar weet niet of hij ook alles mág. In deze collegeserie laat Ger Groot zien welke filosofische ideeën de mens gevormd hebben tot het wezen dat hij nu is. In veel muziekwerken resoneren filosofische gedachten mee die deze ontwikkeling illustreren.

"Il mondo si divise in due emisferi distinti e separati: da una parte c'erano quelli a cui piaceva di più ragionare, e dall'altra quelli a cui piaceva di più credere." Così Luciano De Crescenzo presenta il nuovo volume della "Storia della filosofia", dedicato al Sei e al Settecento. Due emisferi, certo, ma il primo diventa ogni giorno più frequentato e formicolante, mentre il secondo andava rattrappendosi. Nasceva una nuova filosofia, che aveva un suo modello, fornito dalla matematica e dalla geometria.

La historia de cómo cuatro genios revolucionaron la filosofía y cambiaron nuestra forma de entender el mundo.

Sun Tzu was a famous Chinese general whose mastery of strategy was so exceptional that he reportedly transformed 180 courtesans into skilled soldiers in a single training session. While that episode was likely exaggerated, historians agree that Sun Tzu defeated the Ch'u, Qi, and Chin states for King Ho-Lu, forging his empire. With methods so powerful they can conquer an adversary's spirit, you can use Master Tzu's strategies to overcome any challenge, from warfare to self-defense to business negotiations.

Comparative studies often reveal similarities between greatly different cultures, even if those cultures are geographically separated by thousands of miles or historically distinct by thousands of years. This has been especially true in religion where similar ideas have been propounded by tribes or clans that have on the surface no contact historically or geographically with one another. For the phenomenologist, this kind of transcultural link or synchronicity is important because it raises the question of how religious ideas emerge and develop over time.

Wer bist du wirklich? Was ist deine Lebensaufgabe? Wie schaffst du es, Frieden, Erfüllung und innere Heilung zu finden? Geht es um die Harmonie mit sich selbst und dem ganzen Universum, stoßen sowohl zeitgenössische Selbstoptimierungsprogramme als auch therapeutische Verfahren an ihre Grenzen. Heilrituale, Trance und Seelenarbeit der Schamanen sind traditionelle Mittel, die es erlauben, in die Ganzheit zu kommen. Für die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) hat der Schamanismus bei psychischen und psychosomatischen Erkrankungen die gleiche Bedeutung wie die westliche Schulmedizin.

La scienza moderna non nasce con Galileo e Newton. Le sue origini vanno retrodatate di almeno 2000 anni, alla fine del IV sec. a.C. La Rivoluzione scientifica del XVIII sec. riscopre la Rivoluzione ellenistica di figure come Euclide, Archimede, Erarstotene, Aristarco di Samo e di tanti altri raffinati scienziati. Lo studio della "rivoluzione scientifica", cioè della nascita dello sviluppo scientifico, è indispensabile per la comprensione della "civiltà classica". Inoltre, l'esame del ruolo svolto dalla scienza nella civiltà ellenistica è essenziale.

En El mapa fantasma se cuenta la historia de la aterradora epidemia de cólera que envolvió Londres en 1854 y sus dos héroes poco probables: el anestesista doctor John Snow y el afable clérigo, el reverendo Henry Whitehead, quienes derrotaron la enfermedad mediante una combinación de conocimiento local, investigación científica y elaboración de mapas.

Rudolf Steiner (1861 - 1925) war Gründer der Waldorfschulen und Wegbereiter der Anthroposophie. In diesem Buch legt er seine Philosophie dar und beschreibt, unter welchen Bedingungen der Mensch in seinem Denken und Handeln als geistig freies Wesen bezeichnet werden kann - ein Grundlagenwerk also.
