Modern Philosophy

Haben Sie öfter das Gefühl, in der Hektik unserer Moderne den Faden zu verlieren? Stress, Selbstoptimierungsdruck und digitalisiertes Sozialleben entfernen Sie von Ihrer eigentlichen Bestimmung? Sie wünschen sich, Ihr seelisches Alltagsleben auf ein stabiles, gesundes Fundament zu stellen? Dann zeigt Ihnen dieser Ratgeber den Weg Senecas zu Glück und Gelassenheit!

En estas páginas, la autora invita a pensarlas con ternura y sin miedo, y propone otros recorridos inexplorados para analizar críticamente y desdibujar los contornos de una definición tradicional de la amistad que ha llegado intacta hasta nuestros días.

Man sieht sich gedrungen wünschen zu wollen und sagen zu können, dass nach der akustischen Auseinandersetzung mit Nietzsches Unzeitgemäßen Betrachtungen jeder ein Stück klüger wird als er war – doch leider belehren uns Vergangenheit und Gegenwart eines besseren und lassen diesen unausgesprochenen frommen Wunsch wie eine Seifenblase im Orkan im Entstehungs-Ansatz zerplatzen. Je konkreter und klarer Gedanken formuliert werden, desto schwieriger sind sie zu verstehen.

The human race has accepted the word God unquestionably from time immemorial. Which has resulted in an avalanche of diverse faiths warring with each other. To circumvent this and present the true nature of God the thesis provides adequate literature. God is the supreme Self, a Sakshi, a detached Witness of activities of the body, mind and intellect. A role in beings which fits in with that of petrol in vehicles. Petrol is a sakshi which activates vehicles while witnessing the best or worst of their performances.

"Der Nutzen ist das große Ideal der Zeit, dem alle Kräfte frohnen und alle Talente huldigen sollen. Auf dieser groben Waage hat das geistige Verdienst der Kunst kein Gewicht, und aller Aufmunterung beraubt, verschwindet sie von dem lärmenden Markt des Jahrhunderts." In seiner Abhandlung aus dem Jahre 1795 geht Schiller der Frage nach, warum die französische Revolution nicht in der Lage war, Frankreich die versprochene Humanität zu bringen. Schiller berührt Punkte der Moralphilosophie, der Anthropologie und der Geschichtsphilosophie. Ein echtes Grundlagenwerk der Philosophie!

"Was ist das Wesen des Lachens? Was steckt hinter dem Lächerlichen? Was haben die Grimasse eines Clowns, ein Wortspiel, eine Verwechslung in einem Schwank, eine geistvolle Lustspielszene miteinander gemeinsam?" Der französische Philosoph und Literaturnobelpreisträger (1927) Henri Bergson (1859 - 1941) ging dieser Frage in seinem Essay Le Rire (Das Lachen) aus dem Jahr 1900 nach. Das Werk ist nicht nur eine Theorie des Komischen, sondern auch gleichzeitig eine Hommage an künstlerische Kreativität.

Nietzsche, um crítico mordaz da cultura ocidental, defende neste livro a tese de que os pensadores anteriores a Platão foram os únicos a compreender a dimensão trágica das forças que regem a vida dos homens (trata-se de um dos textos mais importantes sobre a filosofia pré-socrática). Se costumamos atribuir a Sócrates o início da filosofia, Nietzsche sugere, aqui, que talvez ela tenha justamente terminado com ele.

Was ist Raum? Was ist Zeit? Was die Bedingungen der Möglichkeit von Erfahrung und Wissenschaft? Diese Fragen beschäftigen Philosophen seit jeher. Im ersten Teil seiner bahnbrechenden Kritik der reinen Vernunft, der von ihm sogenannten "Transzendentalen Ästhetik", gibt Immanuel Kant auf diese zwei Fragen Antworten, die die Diskussion darüber auf ein bis dahin noch nicht erreichtes Niveau hoben und die Philosophie im engeren Sinne wie auch den sich bereits zu seiner Zeit mehr und mehr verzweigenden modernen Wissenschaften ein neues erkenntnistheoretisches Fundament gaben.

This book is an exploration of original, critical, and creative thinking through the lens of my creative philosophy. It delves into the very essence of what it means to be human and provides a rational, abstract, and methodical examination of reality. Philosophy, the love of wisdom, is the guiding principle behind this journey of reflection, self-expression, and enlightenment. THINK is a bold and inspiring call to free our minds and embrace original thinking.

It is not unjustly held the best review on French philosophy of 19th century was given through the shrewd insight and simple language of Alexander Gunn. Modern French Philosophy is a must-hear for all students and lovers of philosophy who are interested in the development of the main currents of spiritualism and neo-critical schools as well as at the independent voices who marked the advent of a new era in European thought.

Hvad kendetegner kærlighed? Det er det store spørgsmål, som "Kierkegaard og kærlighedens kendetegn" forsøger at give svar på. Søren Kierkegaards bog "Kjerlighedens Gjerninger" udkom i 1847. Den har siden opnået nærmest ikonisk status; det er en bog, der bliver refereret til og citeret fra i mange forskellige sammenhænge, og det er en af den slags bøger, der kan være livsforandrende for sin læser. Men det er også en bog, der har ry for at være svær at læse.

He wondered how best to cultivate qualities that make us better individuals within a society. Plato parlays this chaos into a recipe for living a good life, the building blocks of which are outlined in this book. Each of Plato's works is discussed, and important parallels to modern life are made with lessons you can draw from.

"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.

A trăi înseamnă să poți supraviețui strivit între două imagini despre tine: a ta și a celorlalți. "Vieţile noastre, în singurătatea lor, pot fi asemănate, pentru a folosi o vorbă a lui Platon, cu o "panglică de măsurat fără semne pe ea". Am o viaţă. Iată, iau părţi din ea şi, povestindu-le, le pun în vitrină. Scoţându-le în lume, pun semne pe panglica vieţii mele. O fac cu gândul că, astfel "însemnată", viaţa mea ar putea fi folosită ca unitate de măsură. Veţi afla, astfel, doamnelor şi domnilor, dacă viaţa voastră e mai frumoasă sau mai urâtă decât a mea.

In a world overflowing with information and opinions, understanding the foundations of modern thought can feel overwhelming and elusive. If you've ever grappled with interpreting the significance of the Enlightenment and how it applies to today’s society, you're not alone. 'Unraveling the Enlightenment' is crafted for modern thinkers eager to explore this pivotal intellectual movement with clarity and context.

In his groundbreaking and controversial book The DIM Hypothesis, Dr. Leonard Peikoff casts a penetrating new light on the process of human thought and thereby on Western culture and history. In this far-reaching study, Peikoff identifies the three methods people use to integrate concrete data into a whole, as when connecting diverse experiments by a scientific theory, separate laws into a constitution, or single events into a story.

To give and receive well may be the most human thing you can do-but it is also the closest you can come to divinity. So argues the great Roman Stoic thinker Seneca in his longest and most searching moral treatise, "On Benefits" (De Beneficiis). James Romm's splendid new translation of essential selections from this work conveys the heart of Seneca's argument that generosity and gratitude are among the most important of all virtues.

Escape the race to happiness, build a life of value, and resist the pull of self-help You’ve heard this story: outwardly, woman was living the dream. Inwardly, woman was drowning in despair. It's what happened next that sets this tale apart. Many of us go through life believing that something...

How people around the world grapple with the great questions posed by Socrates. What is virtue? What is moderation? What is justice? What is courage? What is good? What is piety? Socrates thought that understanding the perspectives of others on these six great questions would help him become a...
