Our ecological, social, and political issues all stem from the ideologies that drive our collective actions. In contrast to our innate humanity, which is rooted in unity, these ideologies have led us to believe that we are separate from each other, separate from nature, and separate from the results of our actions. Such a worldview encourages individuals to maximize self-interest, which then causes fragmentation, conflict, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources.

Les Démons de la liberté retrace l’histoire d’une trahison. Celle d’un mot magnifique devenu instrument de domination. Celle d’un rêve qui, au lieu d’émanciper, a trop souvent asservi. À travers une analyse lucide des mécanismes politiques, économiques, médiatiques et culturels, ce livre démonte les illusions modernes pour poser une question essentielle : jusqu’à quand continuera-t-on à tuer, exclure, humilier au nom de la liberté ?

Our sexuality is an integral part of who we are, yet our understanding of sex has been warped by everything from age-old taboos and religious dogma to a popular culture that views sexuality as transactional. With Sex, Health, and Consciousness, Liz Goldwyn, founder of the thriving online platform and podcast The Sex Ed, has created an inclusive, holistic, and much-needed guide to sexual well-being—and the pleasure that’s possible when we embrace our sexuality as a natural part of a healthy human experience.

Join narrator and author, Justin Harnish, for a wild ride through the latest science of physics, artificial intelligence, and the wisdom traditions of meditation to explore if the cosmos, in all of its rich formulations, offers a meaningful and even loving inclination to us.

Soul Machine takes us back to the origins of modernity, a time when a crisis in religious authority and the scientific revolution led to searching questions about the nature of human inner life. This is the story of how a new concept - the mind - emerged as a potential solution, one that was part soul and part machine but fully neither.

"The Joyful Wisdom", written in 1882, just before "Zarathustra", is rightly judged to be one of Nietzsche's best books. Here the essentially grave and masculine face of the poet-philosopher is seen to light up and suddenly break into a delightful smile. The warmth and kindness that beam from his features will astonish those hasty psychologists who have never divined that behind the destroyer is the creator, and behind the blasphemer the lover of life.

Philosophy of Mind: A Very Short Introduction probes some of the great philosophical questions about the mind: What is the relationship between mind and matter? Can science unravel the mystery of consciousness? How can our thoughts represent things in the world? Are computers genuinely intelligent? In the book, Barbara Gail Montero highlights key thought experiments used by philosophers to explore the nature of mind and how mind and body relate to each other (the mind-body problem).

知と社会構造の関係をシンプルに説いた『具体と抽象』『「無理」の構造』に続く第三弾「あの人は、人の〈批判〉ばかりしている」という〈批判〉、これが自己矛盾です。世の中に苛立ちと不毛な争いをもたらす大きな原因の一つがこの人間心理の負の側面であり、インターネットやSNSの発展によって表舞台にあふれるように出てきています。

『具体と抽象』から10年。満を持して、シリーズ第４弾刊行！「ある型」の思考回路は、「あるもの」に目を向ける。「ない型」の思考回路は、「ないもの」も視野に入れる。その両者の圧倒的ギャップが世の中を動かしている。そのメカニズムとは？私たちの「ものの見方」には、突き詰めれば大きく二つのタイプ、すなわち「ある型」思考と「ない型」思考がある。

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.

A guide to deprogramming yourself from thoughts.

" Philosopher, c’est apprendre à mourir " : dans cette maxime de Montaigne, " mourir " est souvent compris comme la fin de notre vie biologique. Pourtant sa portée est plus vaste : mourir est une affaire de chaque instant, une mise en abyme continuelle de soi et de sa pensée, de sa réflexion. Et réfléchir implique de rompre momentanément avec nos schémas habituels, nos routines quotidiennes, nos croyances et nos présupposés. Cet ouvrage montre comment la pratique philosophique nous permet de " devenir nous-mêmes", en nous écartant de l’immédiateté, en cessant – un temps – de vivre.

Journey to Introspective Consciousness by Kris Hena is more than a self-help book—it's an exhilarating opportunity to rediscover wonderment and manifest an illuminated life through universal connection. Hena's transformative approach toward Mindful Metamorphosis, A Muse Manifesto, and the Ineffable Realm combines timeless wisdom with literary art, sparking a thrilling journey of self-discovery.

О содержании этой книги с уверенностью можно сказать одно: Заратустра ничего подобного не говорил. Но наверняка не раз обо всем этом задумывался. Потому что вопросы все больше простые и очевидные. Захватывающие погони ума за ускользающей мыслью, насильственное использование букв кириллического алфавита, жестокая трансформация смыслов, гроб на колесиках сансары, кровавые следы полуночных озарений, ослепительное сияние человеческой глупости - все вот это вот, непостижимое и неопределенное. Собственно, Макс Фрай всего этого тоже не говорил.

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.
