Philosophy Consciousness

As we open up to life and love and each other, as we awaken from our dream of separation, we encounter not just the bliss of existence, but its pain, too; not only life's ecstasy, but also its agony. Healing doesn't always feel good or comfortable or even "spiritual", for we are inevitably forced to confront our shadows, fears, and deepest longings - those secret parts of ourselves that we have denied, repressed, or deemed "negative" and unworthy of our love.

Daniel C. Dennett—preeminent philosopher and cognitive scientist—has spent his career creating the basis for a naturalistic account of consciousness with acumen and elegance. I’ve Been Thinking traces the development of Dennett’s own intellect and instructs us how we too can become good thinkers. Dennett’s restless curiosity leads him from his childhood in Beirut to Harvard, and from Parisian jazz clubs to “tillosophy” on his tractor in Maine. Along the way, he reveals the breakthroughs and misjudgments that shaped his paradigm-shifting philosophies.

Mindfulness has attracted ever‑growing interest and tens of thousands of practitioners, who have come to the discipline from both within and outside the Buddhist tradition. In Fully Present, leading mindfulness researchers and educators Dr. Sue Smalley and Diana Winston provide an all‑in‑one guide for anyone interested in bringing mindfulness to daily life as a means of enhancing well‑being. This new edition, how with a new afterword, provides both a scientific explanation for how mindfulness positively and powerfully affects the brain and the body.

A diabetic woman awakens from a coma having forgotten the last 10 years of her life. A Haitian immigrant has nightmares that begin bleeding into his waking hours. A retired teacher loses the use of her right hand due to pain of no known origin. Noga Arikha began studying these patients and their confounding symptoms in order to explore how our physical experiences inform our identities. Soon after she initiated her work, the question took on unexpected urgency, as Arikha’s own mother began to show signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

How can we live longer? Do we live in a simulation? Does free will actually exist? The Curious Ape is an exploration of the most powerful ideas from guests on the Joe Rogan podcast. These guests include some of the world’s finest scientists, philosophers, investigative journalists, athletes, and even whistle-blowers. These guests are often contrarians, and their ideas challenge conventional wisdom.

Le yoga change l'existence. Sa pratique permet de se connaître et, par l'ascèse qu'il exige, de changer en profondeur. Plus encore, le yoga renouvelle nos conceptions, communes et philosophiques, de l'existence. Il dispose à vivre mieux et à exister plus librement. C'est ce lien, entre philosophie et pratique corporelle libératrice, qu'explore l'auteure. Dans cet ouvrage, à la fois court et sans détour, Elsa Ballanfat nous propose un chemin en quatre étapes : prendre conscience du mal que nous nous faisons, initier un changement, s'ouvrir à l'autre pour mieux le comprendre.

Aufmerksamkeit ist zu einer kommerziellen Ressource geworden. Einst waren die Sirenen mythische Wesen, die umherfahrende Seeleute in den Tod lockten. Heute ertönen sie rund um die Uhr in unseren Küchen und Schlafzimmern, beauftragt von den wertvollsten Unternehmen der Weltgeschichte, deren Ziel es ist, unsere gesamte Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zu bündeln. Das Ergebnis: Ständig starren wir auf unsere Handys und verlieren die Welt um uns herum aus den Augen.

في شهر يونيو عام 1879، كان الفيلسوف والعالم الأمريكي "تشارلز ساندرز بِرس" على متن باخرة في رحلة من ولاية بوسطن إلى نيويورك عندما سُرقت ساعته الذهبية من مقصورته.1 أبلغ "بِرس" عن السرقة، وأصر على أن يصطف كل فرد من أفراد طاقم السفينة على سطحها، وحقق معهم جميعًا، لكنه لم يتوصل إلى شيء، وسرعان ما صدر عنه تصرف غريب بعد أن تمشَّى قليلًا، حيث قرر أن يخمن هوية السارق، على الرغم من أنه لم يمتلك أي دليل حقيقي يتكئ عليه، وهو أشبه بشخص يخاطر بكل ما يملك، وهو يعلم أن هذه المخاطرة حتمًا ستفشل، وبمجرد قيامه بهذا التخمين وجد نفسه مقتنعًا اقتناعًا تامًّا بهوية السارق.

There's more to Stoicism than shrugging your shoulders and getting on with it, as Tom Hodgkinson discovers in this witty and enlightening book. Stoicism is an enduring and ancient philosophy that can help you with everything from love and politics to money and spirituality. The Stoics were celebrated by the Romans, they influenced Christianity and even Shakespeare admired them. Today, both therapists and politicians will profess adherence to the Stoic creed. The "serenity prayer" is a Stoic statement. The Beatles' "Let it Be" is a Stoic song.

What is this strange mental world that seems so essential to being human? The conscious mind brings together sensations, perceptions, thoughts and memories to generate the seamless movie of a person's life. It makes us aware of the world around us and our own self. How all this emerges from a kilogram of brain cells is one of the greatest unanswered questions.

Let There Be Light presents a simple, beautiful, and elegant view of the oneness of all life, subjective and objective. It demonstrates the unity of the physical world with conscious experience of the physical world. Consciousness is not inside space and time, space and time are within consciousness; they are a special structure of the perceptual portion of consciousness.

What happens when we accept that everything we feel and think stems not from an immaterial spirit but from electrical and chemical activity in our brains? In this thought-provoking narrative - drawn from professional expertise as well as personal life experiences - trailblazing neurophilosopher Patricia S. Churchland grounds the philosophy of mind in the essential ingredients of biology. She reflects with humor on how she came to harmonize science and philosophy, the mind and the brain, abstract ideals and daily life.

Als Rousseau 1765 der Bitte seines Verlegers nachkam, seine Lebensgeschichte zu Papier zu bringen, konnte er nicht ahnen, dass seine Bekenntnisse noch Jahrhunderte später als Schlüsselwerk gelten würden. Zum ersten Mal boten die niedergeschriebenen Erinnerungen eines Schriftstellers mehr als allgemeine Gedanken zu Gesellschaft und Religion. Sie wurden zur präzisen Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Persönlichkeit. Das intime Psychogramm des Pädagogen und Philosophen Rousseau in der Lesung von Joachim Höppner bietet mehr als 30 Stunden Hörgenuss.

Does free will exist? The question has fueled heated debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. To put it in the simple terms that have come to dominate these debates, if we are free to make our own decisions, we are accountable for what we do, and if we aren't free, we're off the hook.

I am bringing to my listeners knowledge that I have obtained by favor rather than by effort. It will not be found the less valuable on that account; I venture, on the contrary, to declare that it will be found of incalculably greater value, easily as I have obtained it, than any results in a similar direction that I could possibly have procured by ordinary methods of research, even had I possessed, in the highest degree, that which I make no claim to possess at all - oriental scholarship.

What makes us who we are? Many think that we are just complicated machines, or animals that are different from machines only by being conscious. Richard Swinburne comes to the defense of the soul and presents new philosophical arguments that are supported by modern neuroscience. When scientific advances enable neuroscientists to transplant a part of brain into a new body, he reasons, no matter how much we can find out about their brain activity or conscious experiences, we will never know whether the resulting person is the same as before or somebody entirely new.

Much of the world's landmass is already known. Deep sea and outer space are beyond most people's reach. It feels like there are fewer places left to discover. Psychedelics, on the other hand, reveal worlds that remain largely obscure. Altered states offer modern, 21st-century audiences boundless opportunities to explore what a human being can experience. In this book, I show you how to become a capable discovery-maker, sample-collecting naturalist, and rational thinker of visionary phenomena.
