Philosophy Ethics

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.

Im dritten Band seiner Bestsellerreihe über die stoischen Tugenden erkundet Ryan Holiday die entscheidende Rolle, die Integrität in jedem guten Leben spielt. Von Vorbildern des aufrechten Lebens wie Ulysses S. Grant, Ghandi und Mark Aurel bis hin zu den als Warnung dienenden Geschichten von Napoleon und F. Scott Fitzgerald zeigt uns dieses Hörbuch die Macht, die wir haben, wenn wir zu unseren Überzeugungen stehen und in Übereinstimmung mit ihnen handeln – und die Gefahren eines schlecht entwickelten Gewissens.

For centuries, diplomacy has been humanity’s most elegant disguise for deceit. Treaties are broken before their ink dries, and the pursuit of peace has become a theatre of power. Algorithmic Diplomacy tears away this illusion, asking the most dangerous question of the twenty-first century: what if the only path to lasting peace is to surrender politics to reason itself? Boris Kriger envisions a world where nations speak not through fear and vanity, but through a transparent architecture of artificial intelligences bound by international law.

El Hagakure (que significa "a la sombra de las hojas" u "oculto en las hojas") es una obra literaria japonesa dictada por Yamamoto Tsunetomo (1659-1719) a uno de sus aprendices entre 1710 y 1717, inspirada en el célebre código Bushido.

Why do we complain of Nature? She has shown herself kindly; life, if you know how to use it, is long. But one man is possessed by an avarice that is insatiable, another by a toilsome devotion to tasks that are useless; one man is besotted with wine, another is paralyzed by sloth; one man is exhausted by an ambition that always hangs upon the decision of others, another, driven on by the greed of the trader, is led over all lands and all seas by the hope of gain; some are tormented by a passion for war and are always either bent upon inflicting danger upon others.

Seen as godless by the religious and weak by the atheists, secularism mostly has been misunderstood. In How to Be Secular, Berlinerblau argues for a return to America’s hard-won secular tradition; the best way to protect religious diversity and freedom lies in keeping an eye on the encroachment of each into the other. Berlinerblau passionately defends the virtues of secularism, reminds us what it is and what it can protect, and urges us to mobilize around its cause, which is for all Americans to continue to enjoy freedom for - and from - religion.

David Hume (1711-1776) is perhaps best known for his ideas about cause and effect and his criticisms of religion, but he is rarely thought of as a philosopher with practical wisdom to offer. Yet Hume's philosophy is grounded in an honest assessment of nature - human nature in particular. The Great Guide is an engaging and eye-opening account of how Hume's thought should serve as the basis for a complete approach to life. Julian Baggini masterfully interweaves biography with intellectual history and philosophy to give us a complete vision of Hume's guide to life.

يعد مبحث الأخلاق أحد المباحث الفلسفية الأساسية، فالحياة الأخلاقية تستمد مرجعيتها من الأسس الفلسفية التي تستند إليها وتبررها وتفسرها، وفي هذا الكتاب اختار أحمد أمين أن يركز على دراسة هذا المبحث، ولكن بشكل تربوي، بحيث يبين لنا أهميته العملية قبل الفلسفية، وبذلك فهو لا ينظر إلى الأخلاق كمقولة نظرية تتداولها ألسنة الفلاسفة وتحلق بها في برج عاجي بحيث تظل حبيسة جدران الكتب، وإنما ينظر إليها كممارسة اجتماعية حية تتحقق في واقعنا المعيش، ونتلمس أثرها بشكل مباشر في كافة معاملاتنا الحياتية؛ لذلك فهو يركز بشكل أساسي على مفاهيم أخلاقية فاعلة مثل: الضمير، والعدل، والصدق، والطاعة، والتعاون

Datato intorno al 399 a.C., l'"Apologia di Socrate" è il resoconto che Platone fa della autodifesa di Socrate, suo maestro, il quale deve difendersi dall'accusa di non credere negli dei della patria e di corrompere i giovani con i suoi insegnamenti. A questo storico processo, che si conclude con una condanna a morte, accorrono tutti gli ateniesi. Nella sua autodifesa Socrate non si limita ad argomentare seguendo, come sempre, una logica stringente, ma si abbandona ad una lunga e profonda riflessione sul senso della vita e della morte.

En 1749, l'Académie de Dijon met au concours la question suivante : Si le rétablissement des sciences et des arts a contribué à épurer les mœurs. Alors qu'il va rendre visite à Diderot prisonnier à Vincennes, Rousseau feuillette le Mercure de France qui publie la question : "Si jamais quelque chose a ressemblé à une inspiration subite, écrira-t-il plus tard, c'est le mouvement qui se fit en moi à cette lecture ; tout à coup, je me sens l'esprit ébloui de mille lumières..."

In "Praise of Folly", also translated as "The Praise of Folly", is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in June 1511. Inspired by previous works of the Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli De Triumpho Stultitiae, it is a satirical attack on superstitions, other traditions of European society and on the Western Church. Erasmus revised and extended his work, which was originally written in the space of a week while sojourning with Sir Thomas More at More's house in Bucklersbury in the City of London.

There is no higher praise we can give people than to say they have good character. But what does this mean, really? What makes this quality so essential to achieving personal success and fulfillment? More importantly, how can we build our own character and live more satisfying lives? Reflecting society's diversity, the contributors to this unique collection of essays speak from various cultural and professional backgrounds to share their observations on living with integrity, honesty, and compassion.

New York Times best-selling author William J. Bennett uses stories, essays, historical vignettes, and contemporary profiles to explore and explain what it means to be a man. Fashioning men has never been easy, but today it seems particularly tough. Boys need heroes to embody the everlasting qualities of manhood: honor, duty, valor, and integrity. Without such role models, boys will naturally choose perpetual childhood over the rigors of becoming a man-as many women, teachers, coaches, employers, and adults in authority can quickly attest.

In this new audiobook, Stubborn Attachments: A Vision for a Society of Free, Prosperous, and Responsible Individuals, Cowen argues that our reason and common sense can help free us of the faulty ideas that hold us back as people and as a society. Stubborn Attachments, at its heart, makes the contemporary moral case for economic growth and delivers a great dose of inspiration and optimism about our future possibilities.

What is life all about? What are we here for? Is there any meaning or purpose to our existence? Thinkers throughout the centuries have pondered these questions. While the distractions of the modern world prevent many from grappling seriously with such matters, the truth is that humans cannot live without meaning any more than we can live without breathing or eating. Os Guinness invites us to examine our lives and join the great quest for meaning and a life well lived.

In this very short introduction, Tim Bayne introduces the field of philosophy of religion and engages with some of the most burning questions philosophers discuss.
