Answering the Question: What Is Enlightenment? is a 1784 essay by the philosopher Immanuel Kant. In the December 1784 publication of the Berlinische Monatsschrift (Berlin Monthly), edited by Friedrich Gedike and Johann Erich Biester, Kant replied to the question posed a year earlier by the Reverend Johann Friedrich Zöllner, who was also an official in the Prussian government.

The seven chakras are your body’s main energy sources. The chakras are like the epicenters of the different kinds of energy your body has. Individually and as a group, they promote harmony between your spirit, your mind, and your body. Every single form of stress in your life can be attributed to some form of "blockage" in one or more of your chakras. If left untreated, these blockages can severely negatively impact your way of life.

Emmanuel Kant est un philosophe allemand de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Il est le fondateur du criticisme, philosophie critique permettant de répondre aux questions : que puis-je connaître ? Que dois-je faire ? Que m'est-il permis d'espérer ? Ses trois Critiques définissent respectivement les limites de notre connaissance, le caractère indissociable de la liberté et du devoir, notre goût pour le beau et le sublime.

This text draws together central components of Hegel's philosophical system as he explores the development of Mind (Spirit, Geist) in its individual, communal and conceptual aspects. Translator William Wallace writes (1894): 'I here offer a translation of the third or last part of Hegel's encyclopaedic sketch of philosophy, Philosophy of Mind. The volume, like its subject, stands complete in itself. But it may also be regarded as a supplement or continuation of the work begun in my version of his logic.'

Philosophy of Mind: A Very Short Introduction probes some of the great philosophical questions about the mind: What is the relationship between mind and matter? Can science unravel the mystery of consciousness? How can our thoughts represent things in the world? Are computers genuinely intelligent? In the book, Barbara Gail Montero highlights key thought experiments used by philosophers to explore the nature of mind and how mind and body relate to each other (the mind-body problem).

This book examines language as both a tool for communication and a means of understanding, while never forgetting its built-in limitations. Language shapes our thinking, yes—but in doing so, it erects barriers that keep us from grasping the raw, unfiltered essence of reality. Words, with their multiple meanings and dependence on context, have a bad habit of distorting the message, turning conversation into an elaborate and bewildering game of charades.

Who has not found themselves scrolling endlessly on screens and wondered: Am I living or distracting myself from living? In Emergency, Break Glass adapts Friedrich Nietzsche’s passionate quest for meaning into a world overwhelmed by “content.” Written long before the advent of smartphones, Nietzsche’s aphoristic philosophy advocated a fierce mastery of attention, a strict information diet, and a powerful connection to the natural world.
