Education can be enriching and transformative. It can also be downright excruciating—even demoralizing. When it comes to learning, why are some of us lovers and some of us haters? Welcome to the world of educational psychology, which uses science to explore what causes people to engage and learn, and what we can do to make learning opportunities more enjoyable and impactful. Spoiler alert: Teachers can only do so much. Students, too, must take control of their learning. Unfortunately, many of us never, ahem, learned the skills to do just that.

In The Republic, Socrates is asked the question: "What is justice?" And in order to answer it, he draws a long and detailed analogy between the individual and the city. Plato’s work forms the foundation of Western philosophy and covers a wide range of topics including political theory and ethics, with extended digressions into artistic and literary criticism, the theory and practice of education as well as epistemology and metaphysics.

The aim of this book is to explain, carefully but not technically, the differences between advanced, research-level mathematics and the sort of mathematics we learn at school. The most fundamental differences are philosophical, and listeners of this book will emerge with a clearer understanding of paradoxical-sounding concepts such as infinity, curved space, and imaginary numbers. The first few chapters are about general aspects of mathematical thought.

Everything we know about how planets form and how life arises suggests that human civilization on Earth should not be unique. We ought to see abundant evidence of extraterrestrial activity - but we don't. Where is everybody? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, science and technology writer Wade Roush examines one of the great unsolved problems in science: Is there life, intelligent or otherwise, on other planets?

Russell once said, "Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric." His views on religion in general, and on Christianity in particular (as in this work), were considered "eccentric" by many of his contemporaries. So were his views on sex, which figures frequently as an example of the misery that Christian leaders and thinkers inflict, and for which he was often vilified. The lectures in this collection leave no doubt about his views on these and related subjects.

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, the renowned philosopher Roger Scruton explores the concept of beauty, asking what makes an object - either in art, in nature, or the human form - beautiful and examining how we can compare differing judgments of beauty when it is evident all around us that our tastes vary so widely.

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, said to be dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus, is widely regarded as one of the most important works in the history of Western philosophy. Addressing the question of how men should best live, Aristotle's treatise is not a mere philosophical meditation on the subject, but a practical examination that aims to provide a guide for living out its recommendations.

In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Bence Nanay introduces the field of aesthetics, considering both Western and non-Western aesthetic traditions and exploring why it is sometimes misunderstood or considered to be too elitist - by artists, musicians, and even philosophers. As Nanay shows, so-called "high art" has no more claims on aesthetics than sitcoms, tattoos, or punk rock.

Facebookではあらゆるコメント、写真、動画、ファイル共有について「いいね！」一本槍です。でも本当は、「いいね！」だけでなく「すばらしいね！」とか「残念だね」「つらいね」といった反応、「お疲れさま」といったねぎらいの言葉などが返されるはずです。悲しいニュースに「いいね！」を押す違和感は誰もが味わったことがあるでしょう。 本当は、その内容に合わせて反応を選り分けることが必要です。実際の生活ではそのようにしているのだから。これからのサービスでは、コンテンツに応じた振る舞いの多様性が表現されていくようになるでしょう。 このことを考えるときに「オブジェクト指向ユーザーインターフェイス」という話を思い出します。今では当たり前になりましたが、ファイルにはそれを開くのに適切なアプリケーションがひもづけられていますし、ファイルを右クリックしたときに表示されるメニューには、「コピーする」「削除する」など適切な動作が並んでいます。（本文より） 小山龍介　「ライフハック・ストリート」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/koyama.html

「産業革命」は、実際には70年をかけてゆっくりと進行した「革命」でした。 「インターネット革命」も同様です。1994年ごろから日本でも個人向けに接続サービスが始まり、それから20年近くをかけて進行しています。なかでも2004年以降の「ソーシャル革命」は、インターネット革命の第二段階です。1994年からの10年、ウェブ上にさまざまな情報がGoogleにインデックスされた状態でつながっていきましたが、2004年からは、さらにそこにソーシャルグラフと呼ばれる人のつながりが、ウェブに写し取られるようになりました。そのソーシャル革命が10年の区切りを迎える2014年、そしてその次の革命がスタートする2015年は、もうひとつ大きな変化が期待できそうです。 それは、「振る舞い（ビヘイビア）」のつながりです。（本文より） 小山龍介　「ライフハック・ストリート」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/koyama.html
