Can we ever truly comprehend the universe before we fully understand consciousness and the wonders, and limits, of the mind? Ulf Danielsson, an acclaimed theoretical physicist who has dedicated his career to probing the deepest mysteries of nature, thinks not. As he dismantles the arguments of esteemed mathematicians and scientists, who would substitute their mathematical models for reality and equate the mind to a computer, he makes a lucid and passionate case that it is nature, full of beauty and meaning, which must compel us.

"Consciousness matters. Arguably it matters more than anything. The purpose of this book is to build towards an explanation of just what the matter is."

Nicholas Humphrey begins this compelling exploration of the biggest of big questions with a challenge to the reader, and himself. What's involved in "seeing red"? What is it like for us to see someone else seeing something red? Seeing a red screen tells us a fact about something in the world. But it also creates a new fact - a sensation in each of our minds, the feeling of redness.

Seneca's On the Shortness of Life is a masterpiece work of the ancient Stoic philosophy that will take you on a thought-provoking journey of timeless revelations, eye-opening insights, and profound life lessons.

هل الإنسانُ حيوانٌ مسيَّر تحركه غرائزه ولا يملك إرادة التصرُّف خلافًا لجيناته وبيئته؟ هل كانت العشوائية وراء نشاة الإنسان بالتطوّر الدارويني؟ ما حقيقة عقل الإنسان الذي جعله يسود الكوكب على الرَّغم من أنَّ الكائنات التي تفوقه حجمًا وشراسة قد انقرضت؟.

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.

Why do I act the way I do? How can I think one thing, and do another? I know better! Why do I feel like a different person some days, on top of the world sometimes, and horrible at other times? There are answers to all of these questions. Anderson Silver has compiled teachings from stoicism and other schools of thought in Your Duality Within to help you navigate through them. A follow-up to the very successful Your User’s Manual, Your Duality Within is the second book in a three-book series tackling the most basic questions of our humanity.

Modern thought tends to divide life into categories, but in the process of living, all the currents mix and mingle, and worthwhile answers only come from finding a harmonious relation to the whole. Seeking holistic understanding, this book ranges through psychology, art, science, religion, relationships, culture, mythology, philosophy, and the world’s wisdom traditions. Although no one can be expert in all these areas, the living of life does not offer the choice of avoiding any of them.

Death might seem to render pointless all our attempts to create a meaningful life. Doesn't meaning require transcending death through an afterlife or in some other way? On the contrary, Dean Rickles argues, life without death would be like playing tennis without a net. Only constraints—and death is the ultimate constraint—make our actions meaningful. In Life Is Short, Rickles explains why the finiteness and shortness of life is the essence of its meaning-and how this insight is the key to making the most of the time we do have.

One of the most significant discoveries of modern science is that the world we perceive around us is not as it appears. Rather, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and quantum physics have demonstrated that our day-to-day reality is a relative construct, built upon a scaffolding of information bits that betray their real origin and causation.

L'occident contemporain est le théâtre d'une montée irrésistible des angoisses, depuis les plus petites - ce que nous mangeons, ce que nous respirons - aux plus grandes - annonces millénaristes de l'apocalypse et résurgence des nouveaux diables. Pourtant, d'un point de vue historique, nous vivons dans un monde plus sûr que jamais. Partant de ce paradoxe, Pierre-Henri Tavoillot pose clairement la question des grandes réponses apportées par l'humanité au problème de la peur.

This project roughly planned to be a kind of modern day normal person's non-stigmatized, non-religious, and no-beliefs affiliated Bhagavad Gita—a simple dialogue between Justin Allen (the prince Arjuna) and his guide Andreas Müller (Krishna). However, it turned out that Justin is not a prince and Andreas is not a guide. In that sense, this is just a collection of talks about so-called "non-duality" (No-Point Perspective) with no spiritual, religious, or scientific intentions. However, amazingly, it turned out to be an apparent "deep" exploration on this topic.

Prosegue il viaggio nella dimensione che i Sufi dischiudono a se stessi e che imparano ad abitare, percorrendo un sentiero che si fonda su alcune comprensioni fondamentali: in primo luogo, il riconoscimento della propria ignoranza. Rendersene conto attiva, per contralto, la scintilla di intelligenza che permette di percepire ciò che è Reale. E dedicarsi alla verità è per un Sufi vivere appassionatamente, distaccandosi passo passo dalle idee stereotipate che condizionano il normale essere al mondo.

"L'exercice philosophique a pour enjeu l'insaisissable nous privant du délai qui assure la sécurité de la pensée et du discours". Vladimir Jankélévitch. "Rien n'est moins subtil, rien n'est moins systématique au fond que cette vision du monde derrière laquelle se cache une expérience douloureuse. Jamais cette pensée n'est figée, solidifiée dans une rhétorique implacable, au contraire l'oralité confère le jaillissement, la spontanéité, la redite." Françoise Schwab.
