Der Einzelne im Spannungsfeld zwischen Individualität und Gesellschaft. Jeder Mensch ist zunächst einmal ein Einzelner. Das kann zur Belastung werden, aber auch den Ehrgeiz wecken, die eigene Individualität zu kultivieren. Zwischen diesen beiden Polen unserer Existenz hat es immer wieder eindrucksvolle Versuche gegeben, einzeln zu sein. Davon erzählt Rüdiger Safranski, beginnend bei Michel de Montaigne, über Rousseau, Diderot, Kierkegaard, Stirner und Thoreau bis zur existentialistischen Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Schopenhauer, el «filósofo del pesimismo», ve el mundo y nuestra vida en él como un mal chiste. Pero si bien el mundo es indiferente a nuestro destino, no es su propósito fastidiarnos adrede. La fachada del mundo se apoya en lo que Schopenhauer llama la voluntad universal, ciega y sin propósito. La voluntad nos acarrea toda nuestra miseria y todo nuestro sufrimiento. la única esperanza es la de liberarnos de su poder y de los atavíos superficiales del individualismo y el egoísmo, que están a su merced.

The World We Need provides a vivid introduction to America's largely unsung grassroots environmental groups - often led by activists of color and the poor - valiantly fighting back in America's so-called sacrifice zones against industries poisoning our skies and waterways and heating our planet. Through original reporting, profiles, and interviews, we learn how these activist groups, almost always working on shoestring budgets, are devising creative new tactics.

EPICURUS AND THE ART OF HAPPINESS draws on contemporary science and psychology to present an accessible, fun, yet philosophically rigorous explanation of the philosophy, addressing how to live a good life; how to seek pleasure and not get sick of it; how to find self-sufficiency and adopt a 'less is more' mentality without having to feel like you're giving something up!

De la vida de Confucio, cuya filosofía ha conformado las vidas de millones de seres humanos durante más de dos milenios, lo desconocemos casi todo.

Laissez-vous inspirer par la sagesse de Montaigne! Malgré les siècles qui nous séparent de son œuvre, ses réflexions demeurent étonnamment actuelles. Les vertus qu'il médite et cherche à vivre, telles que la tolérance, l'amitié, la justice et la connaissance de soi, sont encore sources d'inspiration pour nos contemporains. Montaigne est reconnu pour son approche unique de l'écriture et utilise ainsi des anecdotes personnelles, parfois intimes, pour illustrer des idées universelles. Il a su faire de son expérience un exemple de vie philosophique, à la fois amicale, vulnérable et engagée.

Life is often likened to a race, a journey filled with challenges, obstacles, and unexpected turns. From a young age, we are conditioned to believe that speed and strength are the ultimate determinants of success.

This book, "The Race: Conquering Obstacles," delves into the multifaceted nature of life's journey and offers insights on how to navigate its many challenges.

The Stoicism Collection is a collection of 5 essential pieces of stoic philosophy, alongside a biography of Marcus Aurelius, read by an esteemed cast of award-winning narrators. Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that flourished in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. The Stoics believed that the practice of virtue is enough to achieve eudaimonia: a well-lived life.

Originally published in 1854, Walden; or, Life in the Woods, is a vivid account of the time that Henry D. Thoreau lived alone in a secluded cabin at Walden Pond. It is one of the most influential and compelling books in American literature. Much of Walden's material is derived from Thoreau's journals and contains such engaging pieces as "Reading" and "The Pond in the Winter.". Other famous sections involve Thoreau's visits with a Canadian woodcutter and with an Irish family, a trip to Concord, and a description of his bean field.

Henry Thoreau’nun tüketici kültürüne yönelttiği ateşli eleştiriler ve daha basit yaşamayı şairane bir şekilde savunması tam da içinde yaşadığımız aşırı tüketim çağına ithaf edilmiş gibi duruyor. Ne var ki, Thoreau okunması kolay bir yazar değildir. Ağır bir dili vardır fikirlerini de oldukça zorlayıcı, kışkırtıcı bir biçimde ifade eder. Bu nedenle de yazılarına öylesine göz gezdiren bir okur Thoreau’yu okumaktan kolayca vazgeçebilir. Oysa fikirleri kaçırılmayacak kadar değerlidir. Bu kitap, Thoreau’nun gönüllü sadelik felsefesine derin ancak ulaşılabilir bir kaynak işlevi görmektedir.
