Was können wir erkennen? Was bleibt am Ende? In knappen, gedankenscharfen Aphorismen entfaltet Nietzsche eine radikale Kritik an traditionellen Wahrheiten, Metaphysik und religiösen Weltdeutungen.

The body is central to our sense of identity. Bodily awareness, says scientist-writer Moheb Costandi, is key to self-consciousness. In Body Am I, Costandi examines how the brain perceives the body, how that perception translates into our conscious experience of the body, and how that experience contributes to our sense of self. Along the way, he explores what can happen when the mechanisms of bodily awareness are disturbed, leading to such phenomena as phantom limbs, alien hands, and amputee fetishes.

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.

From the first flicker of gesture around the prehistoric fire to the endless hum of machine speech in the digital age, this book traces the evolution of communication — and with it, the evolution of thought, culture, and consciousness itself. Language is the foundation of civilization: the matrix from which society, morality, and meaning arise. Yet it is also our most dangerous creation — capable of liberation or control, truth or deception, empathy or manipulation. Through language, we built worlds; through language, we can also destroy them.
