Consciousness Science

What is human happiness and how can we promote it? These questions are central to human existence and Happiness Explained draws on scientific research from economics, psychology, and philosophy, as well as a range of other disciplines, to outline a new paradigm in which human flourishing plays a central role in the assessment of national and global progress.

Relayed in short vignettes in an honest, conversational tone, this book is accessible and thought provoking, inspiring people of many disciplines and backgrounds to reflect on their own interactions with those who surround them and to journey deeper into themselves.

Love is about a lot more than just romantic attachments. Love is about all that gives joy and meaning to our lives. The problem is that many of us suffer from a lack of love that can show up in lots of ways: self-doubt, insecurity, depression, despair, fears of being a fraud or an imposter in your own life, and feelings of unworthiness more generally. If you suffer from painful feelings such as these, you are far from alone.

Die Akasha Chronik – ein Begriff, der für viele mystisch und unerreichbar klingt, für andere jedoch ein faszinierendes Geheimnis birgt. Sie wird oft als die „Datenbank des Universums“ oder das „Gedächtnis des Kosmos“ bezeichnet. Doch was verbirgt sich hinter diesem geheimnisvollen Konzept? Was ist die Akasha Chronik und wie kann sie uns in unserem täglichen Leben unterstützen?

" Philosopher, c’est apprendre à mourir " : dans cette maxime de Montaigne, " mourir " est souvent compris comme la fin de notre vie biologique. Pourtant sa portée est plus vaste : mourir est une affaire de chaque instant, une mise en abyme continuelle de soi et de sa pensée, de sa réflexion. Et réfléchir implique de rompre momentanément avec nos schémas habituels, nos routines quotidiennes, nos croyances et nos présupposés. Cet ouvrage montre comment la pratique philosophique nous permet de " devenir nous-mêmes", en nous écartant de l’immédiateté, en cessant – un temps – de vivre.

This work delves into the correspondence between Isaac Orobio de Castro and Jan Bredenburg, highlighting the superiority of classical philosophy over the flawed reasoning influenced by Spinoza's ideas. Through meticulous logical analysis, Orobio exposes the inherent contradictions in modern philosophical materialism. He argues that Spinoza and his contemporaries disguise a new pantheistic atheism that replaces God with "Nature," relying on sophisms that ignore the common foundations of logic, grammar, metaphysics, and ontology.

This is not a self-help book, or a book of specific guidance. In fact, it was written because too many works that claim to help you find your way either disappear into meaningless abstraction or are so petty and particular they fall at the first hurdle, teaching control instead of acceptance. Come with Arthur and Chirag as they discuss the ways they have sought understanding and progress over time, both within and without.

The existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once declared "the ideal limit of aquatic sports...is waterskiing". The avid surfer and lavishly credentialed academic philosopher Aaron James vigorously disagrees, and in Surfing with Sartre he intends to expound the thinking surfer's view of the matter, in the process elucidating such philosophical categories as freedom, being, phenomenology, morality, epistemology, and even the emerging values of what he terms "leisure capitalism".

As often as we use our senses, we rarely stop to think about their place in history. But perception is not dependent on the body alone. Carolyn Purnell persuasively shows that, while our bodies may not change dramatically, the way we think about the senses and put them to use has been rather different over the ages. Journeying through the past 300 years, Purnell explores how people used their senses in ways that might shock us now.

Romantic love presents some of life's most challenging questions. Can we choose who to love? Is romantic love rational? Can we love more than one person at a time? And can we make ourselves fall out of love? In On Romantic Love, Berit Brogaard attempts to get to the bottom of love's many contradictions.

Most nerve cells in the outermost layers of the brain end blindly, without any continuing nerve connections. Baumann investigates the possibilities underlying this peculiar medical observation and suggests that these neurons are the very beacons of our human awareness and consciousness.

Join the author on a journey into the mystical realm of electromagnetism and the proven phenomena which allow our infinitesimally weak brainwaves to radiate into space and circle the globe several times over.

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.

Als "Rigorismus der Liebe", als eine Überhebung, die in Unmenschlichkeit umschlage, kritisiert Theodor W. Adorno die "christlichen Reden" Sören Kierkegaards in "Werke der Liebe". Kierkegaard hat dieses Buch im Unterschied zu seinen früheren philosophischen Schriften unter eigenem Namen veröffentlicht. In einer seltenen Verbindung von einfacher Sprache und bewegendem philosophischen Denken nimmt Kierkegaard die Ideen der Feld- bzw. Bergpredigt auf und führt sie in großer Konsequenz weiter aus.

In science fiction, artificial intelligence takes the shape of computers that can speak like people, think for themselves, and sometimes act against us. Reality of course is vastly different, though in many ways computers surpass their fictional counterparts. This book reviews work in the field and covers topics from chess-playing to quantum computing. The writers tackle how to make computers more powerful, how we define consciousness, what the hard problems are, and even how computers might be built once the limits of silicon chips have been reached.

By letting go of your ego, you will not only feel like a completely different person, but will also empower your life in every way possible. There are many misconceptions about the human ego. Some tie an over-reaching ego to success, arrogance, and other behaviors. Is it that simple? Ego is really the sum of the false ideas that we have about self. These beliefs are formed early in life, reside in the subconscious, and have an incredibly strong influence on our thoughts, actions, and emotions.
