Una vita esemplare e un pensiero folgorante. Eugenio Borgna ha trascorso molto della sua vita in dialogo con gli scritti di Simone Weil, che hanno saputo offrirgli infinite suggestioni per il suo cammino di medico e psichiatra, impegnato nell'ascolto e nella condivisione della sofferenza e della speranza.

In Simply Chomsky, Professor Raphael Salkie provides a compact, user-friendly introduction to Noam Chomsky’s political activism and his groundbreaking work in linguistics. Unlike most Chomsky studies, Prof. Salkie not only covers the essentials of Chomsky’s thought and accomplishments, but also explores his most recent concerns - including the climate crisis, the threat of nuclear holocaust, and current geopolitical hotspots - which are often very different from the topics that preoccupied him decades ago.

Met de verkiezing van Donald Trump tot president van de V.S. staat het verschil tussen feit en fictie onder druk en daarmee ook de democratie zelf. Kunnen we voor onze tijd iets leren van belangrijke filosofische critici van het nazisme en totalitarisme? Zowel Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) als Karl Popper (1902-1994) waren van Joodse afkomst en vluchtten voor Hitler. Beiden probeerden de ideologische wortels van het nazitijdperk te doorgronden. Ook formuleerden ze normen waaraan een open en democratische samenleving moet voldoen.

Este sfârșitul anului 1932. Trei prieteni reuniți la faimoasa cafenea Bec-de-Gaz de pe rue Montparnasse din Paris dezbat aprins în timp ce își sorb cocktailul de caise. Detaliu care, la o primă vedere, ar putea părea o simplă anecdotă, dacă nu ar fi prilejuit nașterea unui sistem filozofic care a marcat istoria intelectuală a secolului XX: existențialismul. Cei trei prieteni sunt Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir și Raymond Aron, iar episodul întâlnirii lor dă tonul acestei admirabile relatări, care ne poartă pe urmele celor mai importanți făuritori de idei filozofice ai veacului trecut.

I could have written a book about my path of healing from the severe physical and sexual abuse I endured in childhood. I could have written a book about my professional life in intelligence and security, and what it taught me about what goes on in the shadows of power (state and corporate). I could have written a book about my lifelong journey into mysticism, yoga, shamanism and the occult, and articulated the powerful realizations I have stumbled into along the way.

Um das Paradox von Unabschließbarkeit und Gewissheit kreist das Denken Kafkas. Die Entdeckung des Zweifellosen in sich, zu dem er gar nicht viel an sich verändern, sondern nur die alten, engen Umrisse seines Wesens nachziehen musste, scheint dabei das Agens einer praktischen Philosophie zu sein, bei der es Kafka letzthin um die nächsten Bedürfnisse des Lebens geht, vor allem in der Frage zur Bildung eines Verantwortungsgefühls, einer ethischen Musikalität.

Few would question that Albert Camus (1913-1960), novelist, playwright, philosopher and journalist, is a major cultural icon. His widely quoted works have led to countless movie adaptions, graphic novels, pop songs, and even t-shirts.

From a poor fatherless settler in French-Algeria to the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Gloag offers a comprehensive view of Camus' major works and interventions.

Stefan Zweig escribió esta lección sobre la tolerancia en 1936, en un momento en que los derechos humanos que ya se consideraban seguros estaban siendo amenazados y restringidos masivamente por el nacionalsocialismo. La narración histórica se sitúa en la época de la Reforma. Aquí se encuentran el fanático de la Reforma Jean Calvin y el teólogo liberal Sebastián Castellio. Calvino, quien junto con Martín Lutero es probablemente la figura más influyente en el movimiento de Reforma, logra tomar el poder en la ciudad república de Ginebra.

Convencido de que uno de los hombres más inteligentes de la Tierra guarda el secreto del sentido de la vida y la inmortalidad del alma, el periodista Ricardo F. Colmenero se hace pasar por traficante de hachís y jugador de ajedrez para recoger los restos inmortales del comunista, del voluntario del Vietcong, del directivo del Instituto de Crédito Oficial, del presidiario, de la cobaya de estupefacientes, del primer repudiado por políticamente incorrecto cuando aún no existía lo políticamente incorrecto.

He didn’t just think. He built the tools for thinking. Born in Macedon. Trained by Plato. Tutor to Alexander the Great. But more than anything, Aristotle was a blueprint engineer. A mind that broke reality into categories, causes, and systems that still shape the world today. This is the full map of Aristotle’s legacy. Across logic, biology, politics, metaphysics, ethics, storytelling, and more. He didn’t give us the answers. He gave us the frameworks to figure them out.

"Es geht zu Ende mit der alten Wahrheit." Die alte Wahrheit, das sind laut Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) die Götzen ihrer Zeit, die es quasi mit dem Hammer zu zerschlagen gilt. Im letzten Jahr seines Schaffens (1888) beschritt Nietzsche damit den Weg der "Umwertung aller Werte" weiter - bevor ihn die Geisteskrankheit ereilte. Sein ungeduldiger Tonfall lässt vermuten, dass Nietzsche ahnte, was ihm bevorstand...

In The Lives of Michel Foucault, David Macey quotes the iconic French philosopher as speaking “nostalgically...of 'an unforgettable evening on LSD, in carefully prepared doses, in the desert night, with delicious music, [and] nice people'". This came to pass in 1975, when Foucault spent Memorial Day weekend in Southern California at the invitation of Simeon Wade - ostensibly to guest-lecture at the Claremont Graduate School where Wade was an assistant professor, but in truth to explore what he called the Valley of Death.

Karl Marx (1818-1883) - philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, current affairs journalist, and editor - was one of the most influential and revolutionary thinkers of modern history, but he is rarely thought of as a Jewish thinker, and his Jewish background is either overlooked or misrepresented. Avineri puts Marx's Jewish background in its proper and balanced perspective, and traces Marx's intellectual development in light of the historical, intellectual, and political contexts in which he lived.

"Wie man wird, was man ist." So beschreibt Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) seine autobiografische Schrift, in der er rückblickend Deutungen seiner eigenen philosophischen Schriften darlegt. Er ist dabei keinesfalls bescheiden, sondern präsentiert seine Erkenntnisse als schicksalhafte Ereignisse von globaler Bedeutung. "Ecce Homo" ist das letzte Werk vor seinem Nervenzusammenbruch im Jahre 1889.
