Le yoga change l'existence. Sa pratique permet de se connaître et, par l'ascèse qu'il exige, de changer en profondeur. Plus encore, le yoga renouvelle nos conceptions, communes et philosophiques, de l'existence. Il dispose à vivre mieux et à exister plus librement. C'est ce lien, entre philosophie et pratique corporelle libératrice, qu'explore l'auteure. Dans cet ouvrage, à la fois court et sans détour, Elsa Ballanfat nous propose un chemin en quatre étapes : prendre conscience du mal que nous nous faisons, initier un changement, s'ouvrir à l'autre pour mieux le comprendre.

Platone diceva che conoscere bene significa adeguarsi a Dio. Ogni atto del conoscere era per il grande filosofo quasi una ripetizione dell'opera del Demiurgo, del creatore cioè e dell'ordinatore del mondo ideale eterno, del cielo, del tutto. L'educazione intellettuale era dunque anch'essa un'operazione divina. Vista alla luce di queste affermazioni, vecchie di due e più millenni ma non per questo meno risonanti di verità e di saggezza, l'opera di Atkinson ci appare in tutta la sua attualità e importanza. E' questa, infatti, essenzialmente un'opera di educazione.

Empathy is an extremely powerful ability. It allows one to feel what others are feeling, sympathize with them, and eventually influence their emotions to help them overcome any negative feelings. This sensitivity to emotions can sometimes reflect negatively on empaths - they are often victims of dark psychology techniques. Luckily, there’s a way that allows empaths to protect their mind against emotional predators, and achieve superior control over their empathic powers – Stoicism!

Igor Sibaldi, "Prigioni: Le pene collettive". ARGOMENTO: "La mente mente!" Non è solo un modo di dire. È, anche se pochi oggi se ne sono accorti, l'intuizione del limite a cui giunge la nostra capacità di accorgerci di ciò che sappiamo e di ciò che siamo. Da quel sistema psichico che chiamiamo "mente" e dai suoi principali strumenti, che sono le parole della nostra lingua, dipendono limiti artificiosi della nostra esistenza, vere e proprie prigioni in cui viviamo e alle quali ci adattiamo fin dall'infanzia.

Siamo davvero programmati per la velocità? Viviamo in un mondo veloce, dove il tempo sembra via via contrarsi: continuamente connessi, chiamati a rispondere in tempi brevi a e-mail, tweet e sms, iper-sollecitati dalle immagini, in una frenesia visiva e cognitiva dai tratti patologici. Dimentichiamo così che il cervello è una macchina lenta e, nel tentativo di imitare le macchine veloci, andiamo incontro a frustrazioni e affanni.

En este libro, se reúnen tres de sus más importantes ensayos: El misterioso registro de la sabiduría inamovible, El claro sonido de las joyas y Crónicas de la espada taia.

Perché ci sono così tanti bicorni e nessun unicorno, se un corno è più semplice di due? Heidegger raccomandava ai suoi uditori di accostarsi a quella immensa e candida supercazzola che è lo "Zarathustra" con la stessa dedizione e pensosità riservata ai trattati aristotelici, Ferraris avanza analoga richiesta per unicorni, bicorni, ornitorinchi, e per la supercazzola vera e propria, quella di Tognazzi in "Amici miei". Margini o briciole di filosofia, queste entità minori riservano più scoperte che Essere, Nulla e Divenire.

In this briskly written volume, a case is made that a value is a belief as to how one live one's life if one's psychological architecture is to retain its integrity, and a case is thereby made that intention is an operationalized value. This analysis makes it possible to distinguish between minds that do and minds that do not host selves. (Selves are minds that have values; minds that are not selves do not.) The relationship between weakness of the will and self-deception is made clear, and it is explained how it is that one can knowingly act in self-destructive ways.

In the foreword the author says: "When the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes, difficulties are dissolved, all things are seen in their true place and proportion, and henceforth the man walks open-eyed and unhurt, in the clear light of wise comprehension."

Human beings are the greatest natural resource on the planet. If it sometimes doesn’t seem that way, it’s because our inherent wealth is hidden under layers of confusion. Much of what we mistake for reality is really a jumble of the tendencies, attitudes, and preconceptions that are part of our individual human baggage. Although we may understand this, we usually believe our thoughts accurately reflect reality. This hidden assumption is a major cause of confusion, which gives rise to conflicts - in our society, in the larger world, and at times within ourselves.
