Social Consciousness

In this new book, Frederick Chavalit Tsao and Chris Laszlo argue that current approaches to leadership fail to produce positive outcomes for either businesses or the communities they serve. Employee disengagement and customer fickleness remain high, resulting in a lack of creativity and collaboration at all levels of entrepreneurial activity. Investor demand for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) continues to be poorly integrated into profit strategies.

In 1968, two young medical students, Steve Biko and Mamphela Ramphele, fell in love while dreaming of a life free from oppression and racial discrimination. Their love story is also the story of the founding of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) by a group of 15 principled and ambitious students at the University of Natal in Durban in the early 1970s.

Thinking About Thinking is a based on a series of lectures delivered at Harvard University in 1996 by Professors Alan Dershowitz (lawyer), Robert Nozick (philosopher) and Stephen Jay Gould (paleontologist) about perennial issues such as truth, free will, race, gender, and religion.

To Know or Not to Know is a meditation on curiosity, doubt, and the fragile brilliance of awareness—a journey through the architectures of thought toward the stillness where understanding becomes reverence.

The preceding chapters have laid bare the systemic nature of racism in America, detailing its insidious atmosphere on Black communities across various facets of life. We've examined historical injustices, present-day inequalities, and the complex interplay of socio-economic factors perpetuating this oppression cycle. However, acknowledging the problem is only the first step; true progress necessitates a concerted effort toward meaningful change. This requires a profound shift, moving beyond individual acts of resistance to organized, sustained political engagement and advocacy.

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.

The fact that you just became conscious of me has made you more conscious than you were a moment ago. Your recognition has brought you a heightened awareness of my presence that constitutes an expansion of consciousness. In no more than a few words, this reflection of my existence within you is already bigger than that first moment of acknowledgment.

Written for both the layman and the professional scientist, The Dimensional Structure of Consciousnessopens an astounding world and points out that further progress of science depends upon a transcendence of the material world. Samuels Avery opens a 'Pandora's box'... and presents a 'through the looking glass' glimpse of the structure of consciousness as the basis of our human experience. Written by Samuel Avery, author of The Buddha and the Quantum.

Ce voyage au fin fond de la dépendance, cette invitation au gai acquiescement de soi emprunte deux versants. Sous la forme d'un traité, sont explorées les voies qui conduisent à la grande santé, au joyeux dire oui. En contrepoint, dans des fragments, une autre voix se donne à entendre. À la troisième personne, lointaine et pourtant si intime, l'auteur narre sa singulière quête de liberté en plein chaos. Chemin faisant, Alexandre Jollien nous livre un carnet de route, un véritable traité de déculpabilisation.

In “Il sonno e i sogni”, Alfred Maury, pioniere della psicologia sperimentale nel XIX secolo, conduce un'indagine affascinante su ciò che accade quando la coscienza vacilla: genesi dei sogni, concatenazione delle immagini, ruolo dei ricordi, illusioni ipnagogiche, incubi, sonnambulismo, estasi, ipnotismo, ebbrezza, delirio… Nulla è lasciato al caso.

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.

In a world increasingly governed by unseen algorithms, David Grand's groundbreaking book, "From Code to Consciousness: Algorithmic Life and Global Governance in the Fourth Industrial Revolution," offers an unparalleled and urgent analysis that demands attention from every global citizen.

Книга современного философа, изучающего смысловые структуры действительности, доктора философии и профессора НИУ ВШЭ Георгия Чернавина посвящена феномену "подобия совести": совести ложной и/или заблуждающейся. Автор предлагает концепцию "подобия совести" – паразитарной формы внутреннего голоса, подпитывающего невротическое чувство вины и нашептывающего требования выморочного долга. Тема раскрыта на материале классической русской литературы (Достоевский, Толстой, Шкловский и др.), а также с опорой на средневековые типологии совести и разработки этой темы у Гуссерля, Хайдеггера, Сартра, Колнаи.

نمتلك جميعًا عقولا، ولكن ما مفهوم العقل بالضبط؟ هل عقلك ومخك شيء واحد؟ وكيف يؤثر ما يحدث في عقلك على سلوكك؟ وهل من الممكن معرفة ما يحدث في عقول الآخرين؟ هل يمكنك التأكد مما يحدث في عقلك؟ وهل الأطفال يمتلكون وعيا؟ وماذا عن القطط؟ والسيارات ذاتية القيادة؟ تحاول فلسفة العقل الإجابة عن هذه الأسئلة وما يماثلها، الكشف عن هويتنا والطريقة الصحيحة للانسجام مع العالم من حولنا. في هذا الدليل المفيد للطلاب على نحو خاص، يقدم ماكليلاند الأفكار الرئيسية في فسلفة العقل، موضحًا سبب أهميتها ومذاهب الفلاسفة في الإجابة عن أسئلتها.

De la même façon qu'il a su rendre la philosophie accessible à tous, Lev Fraenckel, alias « Serial Thinker », expose avec acuité ces enjeux intemporels. Convoquant tour à tour des figures majeures de la philosophie – Aristote, Nietzsche, Marx… – et des références culturelles contemporaines, il plonge au cœur de nos contradictions et éclaire nos choix, nos croyances et nos désirs.
