Fragt man ›normale‹ Menschen im Bus oder Supermarkt, was ein Gedanke ist, werden die Augen und das Unverständnis groß. Psychologen unterscheiden regelmäßig ›Gedanken‹ von ›Gefühlen‹, gehen bei ›Gedanken‹ aber weitaus weniger ›in die Tiefe‹ als bei Gefühlen. Sind Gedanken Sätze? Haben nur Menschen Gedanken? Wären alle Menschen tot, gäbe es dann noch Gedanken?

This work delves into the correspondence between Isaac Orobio de Castro and Jan Bredenburg, highlighting the superiority of classical philosophy over the flawed reasoning influenced by Spinoza's ideas. Through meticulous logical analysis, Orobio exposes the inherent contradictions in modern philosophical materialism. He argues that Spinoza and his contemporaries disguise a new pantheistic atheism that replaces God with "Nature," relying on sophisms that ignore the common foundations of logic, grammar, metaphysics, and ontology.

Perché ci sono così tanti bicorni e nessun unicorno, se un corno è più semplice di due? Heidegger raccomandava ai suoi uditori di accostarsi a quella immensa e candida supercazzola che è lo "Zarathustra" con la stessa dedizione e pensosità riservata ai trattati aristotelici, Ferraris avanza analoga richiesta per unicorni, bicorni, ornitorinchi, e per la supercazzola vera e propria, quella di Tognazzi in "Amici miei". Margini o briciole di filosofia, queste entità minori riservano più scoperte che Essere, Nulla e Divenire.

Lo que estamos presenciando hoy es la mercantilización directa de nuestras experiencias: en el mercado compramos cada vez menos productos (objetos materiales) que queremos poseer, y adquirimos cada vez más experiencias de vida -experiencias de sexo, gastronomía, comunicación, consumo cultural, que forman parte de un estilo de vida -. No compramos productos por su utilidad ni tampoco como símbolos de estatus; los compramos para obtener la experiencia que nos brindan, los consumimos para hacer que nuestra vida sea más placentera y significativa.

Siamo davvero programmati per la velocità?

Dimentichiamo così che il cervello è una macchina lenta e, nel tentativo di imitare le macchine veloci, andiamo incontro a frustrazioni e affanni.

Im Jahre 1641 bemüht René Descartes sich, die Philosophie neu zu begründen. Er sammelt alle persönlichen Erfahrungen von erlittenen Irrtümern, erwiesener eigener Unzulänglichkeit um ein widerspruchfreies Gebiet als Neuanfang etablieren zu können. Er geht so weit mit der Infragestellung der Welt, dass er Gott als bösen Dämon akzeptieren würde, wenn es seiner Wahrheitsfindung diente. Sein gefundener Bereich heißt "Ich zweifle, also bin ich". Diese berühmten sechs Meditationen sind eine Einladung zum Denken.

О ничтожестве и горестях жизни — труд известного немецкого философа Артура Шопенгауэра (нем. Arthur Schopenhauer, (1788–1860). Человек находится во власти безграничных желаний — ничто не в силах утолить его страсти, его потребности в обладании, так как каждый удовлетворенный порыв рождает новый. Другими выдающимися произведениями А. Шопенгауэра являются "О воле в природе", "О свободе воли", "Об основе морали", "Две основные проблемы этики", "О четверояком корне закона достаточного основания" и "Мир как воля и представление".

Platone diceva che conoscere bene significa adeguarsi a Dio. Ogni atto del conoscere era per il grande filosofo quasi una ripetizione dell'opera del Demiurgo, del creatore cioè e dell'ordinatore del mondo ideale eterno, del cielo, del tutto. L'educazione intellettuale era dunque anch'essa un'operazione divina. Vista alla luce di queste affermazioni, vecchie di due e più millenni ma non per questo meno risonanti di verità e di saggezza, l'opera di Atkinson ci appare in tutta la sua attualità e importanza. E' questa, infatti, essenzialmente un'opera di educazione.
