Science Ethics

Crítica a una generación egoísta que prefirió el "yo" al "nosotros". No vengo a decirte que el porvenir es brillante ni que vamos encaminados a una vida de felicidad y prosperidad. Tampoco vengo a alabar estas soledades en las que vivimos, sino a señalar el callejón sin salida del que no podremos escapar a menos que replanteemos lo que hoy es realmente importante.

En Sobre la Amistad, el gran orador y filósofo romano Marco Tulio Cicerón no solo reflexiona sobre la importancia de la amistad en la vida humana, sino que ofrece principios atemporales para construir relaciones profundas, honestas y duraderas. Lejos de ser un tratado teórico, este texto es una guía espiritual para quienes desean vivir con mayor sentido, autenticidad y conexión. Cicerón nos recuerda que la verdadera amistad no nace del interés, sino de la virtud compartida.

Aristotle knew things about happiness, habits, and human nature. This book is about his book, the Nichomachean Ethics.

One of the most prominent features of our world is that there is so much bullshit. Yet we have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, how it’s different from lying, what purposes it serves, and what it means. In his acclaimed bestseller On Bullshit, which was featured on The Daily Show and 60 Minutes, Harry Frankfurt, who was one of the world’s most influential moral philosophers, explores one of the most serious problems of our politics and our world.

This book uncovers the deep, often overlooked connection between Friedrich Nietzsche and the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra. At the heart of Nietzsche's boldest philosophy lies a hidden dialogue-one shaped by Zarathustra's teachings on transformation, cosmic order, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. As Nietzsche confronts the collapse of traditional morality and the search for meaning beyond religion, the voice of Zarathustra echoes through his work, offering fire, clarity, and vision.

The statesman, orator, and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero remains a writer whose influence has been felt for many centuries. Tusculan Disputations is his most wide-ranging philosophical work, and was intended to introduce the Roman people to the pleasures and benefits of the study of philosophy. In a series of stimulating dialogues, Tusculan Disputations examines some of the most fundamental questions of human life: the fear of death, the endurance of pain, the alleviation of sorrow, the various disorders of the soul, and the necessity of virtue for a happy life.

The age of human rights has been kindest to the rich. Even as state violations of political rights garnered unprecedented attention due to human rights campaigns, a commitment to material equality disappeared. In its place, market fundamentalism has emerged as the dominant force in national and global economies. In this provocative book, Samuel Moyn analyzes how and why we chose to make human rights our highest ideals while simultaneously neglecting the demands of a broader social and economic justice.

A professor emeritus of philosophy at Princeton University, Harry G. Frankfurt penned a surprise smash hit with his New York Times best seller On Bullshit, which insightfully and wittily captured the human capacity for, and tendency toward, BS. Now he examines the other side of the coin with this equally entertaining and provocative follow-up.

Activists from Henry David Thoreau and Mohandas Gandhi to the Movement for Black Lives have long recognized that there are times when, rather than having a duty to obey the law, we have a duty to disobey it. Taking seriously the history of this activism, A Duty to Resist wrestles with the problem of political obligation in real world societies that harbor injustice. Candice Delmas argues that the duty of justice, the principle of fairness, the Samaritan duty, and political association impose responsibility to resist under conditions of injustice.

Life is boring: filled with meetings and traffic, errands and emails. Nothing we'd ever call fun. But what if we've gotten fun wrong? In Play Anything, visionary game designer and philosopher Ian Bogost shows how we can overcome our daily anxiety; transforming the boring, ordinary world around us into one of endless, playful possibilities. The key to this playful mindset lies in discovering the secret truth of fun and games.

We present ourselves and encounter others through profiles. A profile shows us not as we are seen directly but how we are perceived by a broader public. Profile-based identity is evident everywhere from pop culture to politics, marketing to morality. This book argues that the profile marks an epochal shift in our concept of identity and demonstrates why that matters. You and Your Profile blends social theory, philosophy, and cultural critique to unfold an exploration of the way we have come to experience the world.

If you sometimes ask yourself "Why am I here?" or "Is there always a clear right and wrong?", you're drawn to the big questions of life, which is what philosophy is all about! Its goal is to explore life's mysteries, to see if universal truths are discoverable through logical reasoning.

If recent history has taught us anything, it's that sometimes the best guide to leadership is the negative example. But that insight is hardly new. Nearly 2,000 years ago, Suetonius wrote Lives of the Caesars, perhaps the greatest negative leadership book of all time. In How to Be a Bad Emperor, Josiah Osgood provides crisp new translations of Suetonius's briskly paced, darkly comic biographies of the Roman emperors Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Caligula, and Nero. Entertaining and shocking, these ancient anti-role models show how power inflames leaders' worst tendencies.

Roger Scruton offers a fresh approach to tackling the most important political problem of our time. He contends that the environmental movement is philosophically confused and has unrealistic agendas. Its sights are directed at large-scale events and the confrontation between international politics and multinational business. But Scruton argues that no large-scale environmental project, however well intentioned, will succeed if it is not rooted in small-scale practical reasoning.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK The dramatic story of the Flint water crisis, by a relentless physician who stood up to power. “Stirring . . . [a] blueprint for all those who believe . . . that ‘the world . . . should be full of people raising their voices.’”—The New York Times...

Is philanthropy, by its very nature, a threat to today's democracy? Though we may laud wealthy individuals who give away their money for society's benefit, Just Giving reveals how such generosity not only isn't the unassailable good we think it to be but might also undermine democratic values and set back aspirations of justice.

Compilación de 12 escritos del Emperador y filósofo romano Marco Aurelio, quien destacó por su serenidad, su modestia y su búsqueda de la verdad, a la vez que fue un césar brillante en el campo de batalla.

"I quattro maestri nel loro insieme prefigurano un itinerario. La meta è il maestro più importante: il maestro interiore, il quinto maestro." Socrate, l'educatore. Buddha, il me­dico. Confucio, il politico. Gesù, il profe­ta. Risalendo alle antiche tradizioni spirituali e filosofiche dell'umanità, Vito Mancuso individua nel pensiero di queste quattro figure gli insegnamenti ancora validi e preziosi per noi, uomini e donne di oggi. La loro parola diventa così una guida decisiva per percorrere con maggiore consapevolezza gli impervi sentieri della nostra esistenza.
