Les Démons de la liberté retrace l’histoire d’une trahison. Celle d’un mot magnifique devenu instrument de domination. Celle d’un rêve qui, au lieu d’émanciper, a trop souvent asservi. À travers une analyse lucide des mécanismes politiques, économiques, médiatiques et culturels, ce livre démonte les illusions modernes pour poser une question essentielle : jusqu’à quand continuera-t-on à tuer, exclure, humilier au nom de la liberté ?

Our ecological, social, and political issues all stem from the ideologies that drive our collective actions. In contrast to our innate humanity, which is rooted in unity, these ideologies have led us to believe that we are separate from each other, separate from nature, and separate from the results of our actions. Such a worldview encourages individuals to maximize self-interest, which then causes fragmentation, conflict, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources.

Join narrator and author, Justin Harnish, for a wild ride through the latest science of physics, artificial intelligence, and the wisdom traditions of meditation to explore if the cosmos, in all of its rich formulations, offers a meaningful and even loving inclination to us.

Soul Machine takes us back to the origins of modernity, a time when a crisis in religious authority and the scientific revolution led to searching questions about the nature of human inner life. This is the story of how a new concept - the mind - emerged as a potential solution, one that was part soul and part machine but fully neither.

"The Joyful Wisdom", written in 1882, just before "Zarathustra", is rightly judged to be one of Nietzsche's best books. Here the essentially grave and masculine face of the poet-philosopher is seen to light up and suddenly break into a delightful smile. The warmth and kindness that beam from his features will astonish those hasty psychologists who have never divined that behind the destroyer is the creator, and behind the blasphemer the lover of life.

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).

知と社会構造の関係をシンプルに説いた『具体と抽象』『「無理」の構造』に続く第三弾「あの人は、人の〈批判〉ばかりしている」という〈批判〉、これが自己矛盾です。世の中に苛立ちと不毛な争いをもたらす大きな原因の一つがこの人間心理の負の側面であり、インターネットやSNSの発展によって表舞台にあふれるように出てきています。

『具体と抽象』から10年。満を持して、シリーズ第４弾刊行！「ある型」の思考回路は、「あるもの」に目を向ける。「ない型」の思考回路は、「ないもの」も視野に入れる。その両者の圧倒的ギャップが世の中を動かしている。そのメカニズムとは？私たちの「ものの見方」には、突き詰めれば大きく二つのタイプ、すなわち「ある型」思考と「ない型」思考がある。

A guide to deprogramming yourself from thoughts.

Our sexuality is an integral part of who we are, yet our understanding of sex has been warped by everything from age-old taboos and religious dogma to a popular culture that views sexuality as transactional. With Sex, Health, and Consciousness, Liz Goldwyn, founder of the thriving online platform and podcast The Sex Ed, has created an inclusive, holistic, and much-needed guide to sexual well-being—and the pleasure that’s possible when we embrace our sexuality as a natural part of a healthy human experience.

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.

Whether you are new to Edgar Cayce or have studied the readings for years, this modern, comprehensive look at his material speaks to where humankind is today in a way that has never before been explored and without the sometimes difficult-to-understand language of the readings. The authors offer new insights and wisdom that is applicable to your life today.

" 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.

Hena reminds us to honor the subatomic human bio-machine, remember the soul's purpose, and respect the Twelve Universal Laws, those deep-rooted principles that govern the macrocosm and microcosm.

О содержании этой книги с уверенностью можно сказать одно: Заратустра ничего подобного не говорил. Но наверняка не раз обо всем этом задумывался. Потому что вопросы все больше простые и очевидные. Захватывающие погони ума за ускользающей мыслью, насильственное использование букв кириллического алфавита, жестокая трансформация смыслов, гроб на колесиках сансары, кровавые следы полуночных озарений, ослепительное сияние человеческой глупости - все вот это вот, непостижимое и неопределенное. Собственно, Макс Фрай всего этого тоже не говорил.
