La douceur est une énigme. Incluse dans un double mouvement d'accueil et de don, elle apparaît à la lisière des passages que naissance et mort signent. Parce qu'elle a ses degrés d'intensité, parce qu'elle a une force symbolique et un pouvoir de transformation sur les êtres et les choses, elle est une puissance.

Israele stava già attraversando un periodo di crisi drammatica prima del criminale attacco del 7 ottobre 2023. Grandi manifestazioni chiedevano a gran voce le dimissioni di Netanyahu e del suo governo e il paese era praticamente bloccato. La risposta al gesto terroristico di Hamas con la guerra di Gaza rischia però di essere un vero e proprio suicidio per Israele.

Howard Fast began to formally practice Zen meditation after turning away from communism in 1956. The Art of Zen Meditation, originally published by the antiwar political collective Peace Press, in 1977, is the fruit of Fast’s study: a brief and instructive history of Zen Buddhism and its tenets, written with a simplicity that is emblematic of the philosophy itself. Fast’s study of Zen also inspired his popular Masao Masuto mystery series about a Zen Buddhist detective in Beverly Hills.

When The Stone Reader—a landmark collection of 133 essays from the New York Times’ award-winning philosophy column—first published, in 2015, the world urgently needed insight and wisdom, and for many, the book served as a bulwark of reason against the rising tide of post-fact rhetoric. Now, as disinformation continues to run rampant and our rights are increasingly called into question, editors Peter Catapano and Simon Critchley contend that philosophy in the public sphere is more crucial than ever.

Modern students of philosophy feel many difficulties in understanding the Indian problems and theories.

When confronted with an ethical dilemma, most of us like to think we would stand up for our principles. But we are not as ethical as we think we are. In Blind Spots, leading business ethicists Max Bazerman and Ann Tenbrunsel examine the ways we overestimate our ability to do what is right and how we act unethically without meaning to.

A major new section in chapter four examines the ethics of genetically enhancing athletic abilities.

"Pris par mon propre travail, mes lancinants sujets de réflexion, l'urgence du présent, je tentais une fois par semaine de me mettre en résonance avec l'actualité dans l'espoir fou de la surplomber, de m'en écarter par le haut pour mieux la voir. En toute modestie, j'ambitionnais par ce stratagème d'insérer l'événement, toujours présenté comme ponctuel, dans la longue ligne du temps."

The Art of Vinyasa takes a unique look at Ashtanga yoga as meditation in motion that produces profound inner change.

In this illuminating book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that fundamental physics - the search for the laws of nature - is losing its way. Ambitious ideas about extra dimensions, exotic particles, multiple universes, and strings have captured the publics imagination -- and the imagination of experts.

Comment se sent-on lorsque les chansons qu’on aime, les films qui nous font rêver, les artistes qu’on admire sont jugés et moqués ? Qu’éprouve-t-on lorsqu’on réalise que ce mépris est la face visible d’un continuum de domination bien plus grand ? Revenant sur son histoire, Rose Lamy raconte le coût d’une existence déterminée par la classe sociale. La mort prématurée, les emplois aliénants, les déserts sociaux et médicaux... Elle montre tout ce que la figure du beauf et ses avatars permettent d’invisibiliser.

For more than 50 years, the world's top scientists searched for the "missing" planet Vulcan, whose existence was mandated by Isaac Newton's theories of gravity. Countless hours were spent on the hunt for the elusive orb, and some of the era's most skilled astronomers even claimed to have found it. There was just one problem: It was never there.
