"이게 사는 건가?" 대한민국 국민이라면 누구나 눈살 찌푸리게 되는 혼란의 시대가 바로 지금이다. 시국이 불안한 탓에 시민으로 살고 있는 개인 또한 대책 없이 흔들리고 있는 만큼, 철학카페가 새롭게 단장하고 다시 문을 열었다. 이번에는 시인 김선우, 소설가 윤성희, 시인 심보선, 소설가 김연수 등 젊은 예술가들과 힘을 모아 함께 돌아왔다. 20만 독자의 사랑을 받았던 《철학카페에서 문학 읽기》, 《철학카페에서 시 읽기》에 이어 5년 만의 만남이라 더욱 의미가 깊다. 한국의 움베르토 에코, 나이 든 철학자 김용규와 젊은 예술가들이 함께하는 '인문학 콘서트'는 그렇게 시작되었다. 혁명부터 이데올로기, 시간, 언어까지 삶을 관통하는 4가지 화두를 던지면서, 혼란과 불안, 혐오의 시대에 맞서 시민으로서 그리고 개인으로서 "어떻게 살아야 할 것인가"에 대한 가장 아름답고 적확한 통찰을 들려준다. 『철학카페에서 작가를 만나다』 제2권은 내 삶의 주인이 되게 만드는 시간과 언어를 크게 2가지 파트로 나누어 설명한다.

Upon the death of his beloved father and mentor, the originator of the burgeoning global Socrates Cafe movement had little choice but to confront the inescapable truth: that there are some things we cannot know for sure. This moving, insightful and ultimately hopeful and helpful blend of memoir and philosophical exploration begins in Phillips' native stomping grounds of the island of Nisyros, Greece, and unfurls through space and time as the author explores the connections between his immediate circumstances and the eternal wisdom of popular philosophers.

Siamo nel 1919. La prima guerra mondiale è finita da poco. "Il dottor Benjamin fugge dalla casa di suo padre, il luogotenente Wittgenstein commette un suicidio finanziario, il libero docente Heidegger perde la fede e monsieur Cassirer lavora sul tram alla propria illuminazione." Comincia un decennio di eccezionale creatività, che cambierà per sempre il corso delle idee in Europa e senza il quale alcuni pensieri non sarebbero mai stati pensati.

This book explores how meaning, often assumed to be a stable or innate feature of reality, is in fact a constructed phenomenon — shaped, transmitted, and manipulated through language, cultural systems, economic structures, and ideology. Drawing on thinkers such as Wittgenstein, Lacan, Orwell, and contemporary cultural critics, the text unpacks how language limits thought, how culture recycles and fossilizes symbolic forms, and how capitalism turns meaning into a consumable commodity.

A scientific and medical revolution has crept up on us, based on study after study, from hundreds of laboratories around the world. It is no longer just a theoretical shift: every one of us will be touched by it, and many of us already have been.

Welcome to the new world of personalized medicine.

The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen—one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data—takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape what we care about. Games are the most important art form of our era. They embody the spirit of free play. They show us the subtle beauty of action everywhere in life—in video games, sports, and boardgames—but also cooking, gardening, fly fishing, and moving. They remind us that it isn’t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing.

Between You and the Universe explores the expansive concept of reality by breaking it into three parts: science, symbols, and experience. You can explore what these distinct parts are and how they interweave to stitch everything around you. The goal is to present three mental models that explain how your reality emerges, from your idea of self to your understandings of the universe.

Every day many people will try to change your mind, but they won't reason with you. Instead you'll be nudged, anchored, incentivised and manipulated in barely noticeable ways. It's a profound shift in the way we interact with one another. Philosopher James Garvey explores the hidden story of persuasion and the men and women in the business of changing our minds.

Mysticism and Logic. The first essay, which gives its title to the volume, endeavors to define the respective spheres of logic and mysticism. Bertrand Russell describes this and the four essays that follow as “entirely popular”.

Dangerous Jokes develops a novel, well-researched, and compelling argument that lays bare the power of demeaning jokes in ordinary conversations. Claire Horisk draws on her expertise in philosophy of language and on evidence from sociology, law, and cognitive science to explain how the element of humor—so often used as a defense—makes jokes more potent than regular speech in communicating prejudice and reinforcing social hierarchies.

The self-evident existence of reason, logic, and intelligibility are strong evidence for God. Reason is a human faculty that defines humanness and points to a rational universe. This in turn points to the principle of reason, or the "Logos" developed by Heraclitus and other Greek philosophers, and later by the Apostle John (1:1). Reason and its corollaries emerge like aspects of language and complement each other, like speaking and listening. Indeed, mutual communication works because of reciprocity, which is a root form of intelligibility.
