Perhaps the most important work of philosophy after the Allegory of the Cave. Incomparable logic and findings about the things that matter in life with a clear, succinct prose touch.

From Eve's crafty exchange with the serpent, to Martin Luther King's soaring, subtle ultimatums, to the throes of Twitter—argument's drainpipe—the human desire to prevail with words has been not just a moral but an existential compulsion. In this dazzling reformulation of argument, renowned critic Lee Siegel portrays the true art of argument as much deeper and far more embracing than mere quarrel, dispute, or debate. It is the supreme expression of humanity's longing for a better life, born of empathy and of care for the world and those who inhabit it.

Upon the death of his beloved father and mentor, the originator of the burgeoning global Socrates Cafe movement had little choice but to confront the inescapable truth: that there are some things we cannot know for sure. This moving, insightful and ultimately hopeful and helpful blend of memoir and philosophical exploration begins in Phillips' native stomping grounds of the island of Nisyros, Greece, and unfurls through space and time as the author explores the connections between his immediate circumstances and the eternal wisdom of popular philosophers.

The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets - like Slave and Master morality, the Superman - can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects.

Think Like Socrates doesn’t go into boring details and endless philosophical methodology. It provides you instead with lessons from one of the best philosophers in human history, Socrates, and keeps you hooked as you explore the fascinating techniques of the thinking genius. Socrates is often mentioned as the founder of Western philosophy. He encouraged his students to think for themselves instead of having someone provide the solution. He was an excellent communicator and questioner. He is a human worth examining.

Language is perhaps humanity’s most astonishing capacity - and one that remains poorly understood. In The Language Game, cognitive scientists Morten H. Christiansen and Nick Chater show us where generations of scientists seeking the rules of language got it wrong. Language isn’t about hardwired grammars but about near-total freedom, something like a game of charades, with the only requirement being a desire to understand and be understood.

"Anything can be literature, and anything which is regarded as unalterably and unquestionably literature - Shakespeare, for example - can cease to be literature". These are the words of Terry Eagleton, the working-class Irish Marxist critic of English literature who believes that all literary theory is political. Not only is his observation quite banal, but it does not qualify as literary criticism. It is journalistic writing, and its validity depends merely upon our definition of literature. Perhaps his definition is so generic as to encompass any random piece of published writing.

Why have our conversations become so polarised? What does "woke" mean? How do we challenge bad ideas? Fantastic Fallacies: And Brilliant Biases is the second book in the Fantastic Fallacies series. With this book, you can identify frustrating arguments and learn how to effectively challenge them. It describes 50 of the most common fallacies and biases, how to find them and how to refute them.

Questo dialogo è uno scritto che mette a confronto due modi di pensare. L'Anima è Leonardo da Vinci, espressione di un conoscitivismo non più degli inizi, ma pur sempre incapace di distinguere le varie forme di pensiero (magico, religioso, filosofico, scientifico, ecc.), confondendole tra loro. La Mente è Silvio Ceccato, espressione di un atteggiamento che vuole evitare il dogmatismo, ogni forma di verità considerata in sé assoluta o in sé relativa.

Durante generaciones, los lectores han debatido los orígenes y estudiado los principios del hermetismo. Este libro procura darte una idea de las enseñanzas fundamentales del Kybalión, en un esfuerzo por dar a conocer los principios funcionales, dejando que los apliques tú mismo, en lugar de tratar de enseñarlos a detalle.

En el Discurso del método, Descartes parece buscar y moverse en un elegante equilibrio entre la crítica y la prudencia, de tal forma que su obra, aparte del valor puramente reflexivo, se podría percibir como una sugestiva propuesta de conducta vital. Persiste en una separación entre fe religiosa y trabajo científico que se corresponde enteramente con las necesidades filosóficas de su contexto social histórico.

Eine starke Geschichte kann die Welt retten - oder sie zerstören. Sie kann Wahlen entscheiden, Menschenleben retten, aber auch Kriege auslösen und Ungerechtigkeit zementieren. Samira El Ouassil und Friedemann Karig verfolgen diese ambivalente Wirkungsmacht anhand wichtiger Narrative von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Und sie zeigen, welche Erzählungen uns heute gefährden und warum wir neue benötigen. Wie gelingt es, den Klimawandel so zu erzählen, dass er zum Handeln drängt? Aus welchen Überlegenheitsmythen entstehen Rassismus und Antisemitismus?

Between You and the Universe explores the expansive concept of reality by breaking it into three parts: science, symbols, and experience. You can explore what these distinct parts are and how they interweave to stitch everything around you. The goal is to present three mental models that explain how your reality emerges, from your idea of self to your understandings of the universe.

Ein spannendes Hörbuch, welches das Leben Wittgensteins thematisiert und den Hörer motiviert, sich auch nach dieser Einführung weitergehend mit dessen philosophischen Denkweise auseinanderzusetzen. Ludwig Wittgenstein gehört zu den bedeutendsten Philosophen seiner Zeit. Er befasste sich viel mit der analytischen Philosophie und verstrickte sich in Denkmuster, die auch für Philosophen teilweise kaum noch überschaubar sind.

Reason is a powerful tool not only for finding our way in an increasingly complex world but also for growing intellectually and emotionally. This short, accessible volume unlocks the dynamics of human reason, helping listeners to think critically and to use reason confidently to solve problems. It enables listeners to think more clearly and precisely about the world, and it tackles a number of profound philosophical questions without getting bogged down with jargon. Topics include knowledge, identity, leadership, creativity, and empathy.

It is clearly explained: what it is for a statement to be necessarily true, why necessity, possibility, existence, and non-existence are properties of propositions (truths and falsehoods), not of objects or states of affairs, and more.

On June 22, 1936, the philosopher Moritz Schlick was on his way to deliver a lecture at the University of Vienna when Johann Nelböck, a deranged former student of Schlick's, shot him dead on the university steps. Some Austrian newspapers defended the madman, while Nelböck himself argued in court that his onetime teacher had promoted a treacherous Jewish philosophy. David Edmonds traces the rise and fall of the Vienna Circle - an influential group of brilliant thinkers led by Schlick.
