Story
In her latest book, In Praise of Listening, Christian McEwen reflects on listening (silence, music, nature, prayer) in a series of thoughtful chapters, each one focused on a different theme. When an athlete speaks of "listening to his body," or a gardener describes herself as "listening to the land," when writers and artists explain that they are "listening" to their work-in-progress, they are using the word as she chooses to use it here—as an extended metaphor for openness and receptivity, rippling out from the self-centered human to the farthest reaches of the non-human world.

Nel 1989, la realizzazione di un mondo senza guerre sembrava a portata di mano; oggi, oltre al terrorismo e ai conflitti locali, torna a incombere il pericolo di una terza guerra mondiale. Come spiegare tale parabola? Losurdo traccia una storia inedita e coinvolgente dell'idea di pace dalla rivoluzione francese ai giorni nostri. Da questo racconto, di cui sono protagonisti i grandi intellettuali (Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Constant, Comte, Spencer, Marx, Popper ecc.) e importanti uomini di Stato (Washington, Robespierre, Napoleone, Wilson, Lenin, Bush Sr. ecc.

Story
Anyone familiar with Russell's works will find a common theme running through the material: Despite being published over a century ago, his thoughts and philosophy remain remarkably a propos today. Russell argues AGAINST the possessive impulse that global capitalism stimulates in humans and which only benefits the possessor, and FOR the creative impulse, which benefits not only the creator but humankind as a whole. He also supports the establishment of an international parliament to address nation-to-nation conflicts—a palatable alternative to war.

Story
The question of artificial intelligence and how far we, as a people, should take the technology is one of our society's biggest debates at the moment; as AI generated art, texts, and even communications have increased as the technology grows altogether. The insight which each chapter provides into the concept of human consciousness and the evolution of that consciousness was so beautifully explored in this book, and the way evolution plays into the idea of adapting consciousness into the development of AI is remarkable.

Story
Während der Jahre des Ersten Weltkrieges widmete sich Steiner intensiv der Verteidigung seiner anthroposophischen Geisteswissenschaft gegen zeitgenössische Kritiker. Die Schrift ›Von Seelenrätseln‹ von 1917 ist Ausdruck dieser Bemühungen. Steiner legt darin Wert darauf, die Anthroposophie methodisch klarer zu fassen als in früheren Texten und deren Forschungsansatz methodisch gegenüber dem naturwissenschaftlichen Paradigma zu verorten.

Un viaje revelador, entre la ciencia y la crónica personal, hacia el misterio de las drogas psicodélicas. Hace ochenta años, el químico Albert Hofmann descubrió por casualidad el LSD y, tras probarlo, emprendió un corto y legendario regreso a casa en bicicleta bajo los efectos de la droga. Su viaje dio pie a la explosión de la psicodelia en los años sesenta, que rápidamente se convirtió en un acto contracultural.

Wie oft sehnten Sie sich schon nach echten Lösungen für die großen und kleinen Probleme des Lebens, und wie oft fragten Sie sich, was Ihnen nach einem verlorenen Job, dem unerwarteten Beziehungsende oder der überteuerten Werkstattrechnung wirklich helfen könnte?

Story
Ewolucja człowieka a w szczególności jego umysłu jest jedną z największych zagadek natury. Koncepcja inteligencji makiawelicznej wyjaśnia w jaki sposób złożoność życia społecznego doprowadziła do powstania tak złożonego mózgu jakim obecnie dysponujemy. Autor wyjaśnia pochodzenie inteligencji społecznej i politycznej. Pokazuje w jaki sposób teoria umysłu, czyli umiejętność przewidywania motywów działania innych osobników stymulowała rozwój naszej inteligencji, w jaki sposób wykształcała się w nas umiejętność obrony przedmakiawelicznymi zakusami innych.
