From Silicon Valley boardrooms to rural communes to academic philosophy departments, a seemingly inconceivable idea is being seriously discussed: that the end of humanity’s reign on earth is imminent, and that we should welcome it. Anthropocene antihumanism has been inspired by revulsion at...

In this book, Quassim Cassam gives an account of the nature and importance of these vices, which include closed-mindedness, intellectual arrogance, wishful thinking, and prejudice.

In diesem siebten Abschnitt widmet sich Lucius Annaeus Seneca – einer der bedeutendsten Denker des antiken Rom – der zentralen Frage: Wie erreicht man ein wahrhaft glückliches Leben? Für Seneca führt der Weg zum Glück nicht über äußeren Reichtum, sondern über innere Klarheit, Vernunft und Tugend. Die Schrift ist ein präzises, eindringliches Plädoyer für ein tugendhaftes, freies Leben im Einklang mit der stoischen Philosophie.

Gegen Ende seines Lebens wendet sich Rudolf Steiner in Vorträgen und Schriften in besonderer Weise an die Mitglieder der Anthroposophischen Gesellschaft. Dabei ist es sein vorrangiges Anliegen, der dogmatischen Erstarrung der gedanklichen und spirituellen Substanz der bisher erarbeiteten Anthroposophie vorzubeugen, indem er das Gewonnene in immer anderen Formen neu entwickelt und dadurch der gelebten meditativen Praxis zu erschließen sucht.

Every act of knowing carries within it a quiet act of forgetting. Knowledge as Oblivion reveals the hidden symmetry between learning and loss, understanding and erasure, showing that progress in thought is not an accumulation but a perpetual renewal through disappearance. In this bold and luminous work, Boris Kriger dismantles the myth of intellectual continuity and invites the listener to reconsider what it means to “know.”

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.

We all long for boundless love as we long for home. But how can we find our home our meaning and purpose if we don't know our self? Wise-Love is an exploration of the self, or consciousness, guided through the meditative eyes of saints, sages, seers, and mystics. As we embark on the journey to the self, we discover that the self's most charming characteristic part of its eternal, unchanging nature is that it is a lover, a lover who can be satisfied only when ordinary love evolves into wise-love.

This book invites the listener to rediscover imagination as the foundation of human existence. Imagination is not a mere ornament of the mind, but a force that reshapes reality itself—stretching its boundaries and summoning entire worlds from the breath of thought. Through it, humanity transcends the limits of what is, reaching into the realm of what might be—or even into the impossible. Yet, imagination carries its own peril.

Die "totindoktrinierte Gesellschaft" ist die moderne Version von Platons Höhlengleichnis – nur dass die Schatten heute aus Bildschirmen, Lehrplänen und Schlagzeilen bestehen. Menschen verteidigen nicht mehr die Wahrheit, sondern ihre Fesseln. Wer es wagt, das parteipolitische Schauspiel oder die sogenannte Demokratie infrage zu stellen, trifft nicht auf Argumente, sondern auf Abwehr. Psychologisch nennt man das kognitive Dissonanz: Alles, was das gewohnte Weltbild bedroht, löst Angst aus, der Reflex ist nicht Denken, sondern Aggression.
