Presocratic Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
This is a book about the invention of Western philosophy, and the first thinkers to explore ideas about the nature of reality, time, and the origin of the universe. It begins with the finding of the new papyrus fragment of Empedocles' poem, and uses the story of its discovery and interpretation to highlight the way our understanding of early philosophers is marked by their presentation in later sources. Generations of philosophers, both ancient and modern, have traced their inspiration back to the presocratics, even though we have very few of their writings left. In this book, Catherine Osborne invites her readers to dip their toes into the fragmentary remains of thinkers from Thales to Pythagoras, Heraclitus to Protagoras, to try to fill in the bits of a jigsaw that has been rejigged many times and in many different ways.

Teach Yourself Jung (TY Philosophy)
Ruth Snowden begins by exploring Jung's upbringing and the environment into which he was born. She then goes on to analyse the influences on the man himself and how they came to shape his ideological and spiritual development. The intricacies of Jung's complex systems of thought are discussed in a straightforward and jargon-free way with particular focus on Jung's lifelong fascination with the spiritual, the numinous, the inner world and the self-realization of the unconscious. Jung’s exploration of mythology, dreams, visions and fantasies, as well as his studies into the journey of the psyche, are all looked at with engaging objectivity, making his often complex beliefs and work easy to get to grips with. Ruth Snowden also looks at his legacy today and how his work and ideas have shaped psychology – many therapists are still trained in the Jungian method.

Continental Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Simon Critchley's Very Short Introduction shows that Continental philosophy encompasses a distinct set of philosophical traditions and practices, with a compelling range of problems all too often ignored by the analytic tradition. He discusses the ideas and approaches of philosophers such as Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Habermas, Foucault, and Derrida, and introduces key concepts such as existentialism, nihilism, and phenomenology by explaining their place in the Continental tradition.

Indian Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction
India has a long, rich, and diverse tradition of philosophical thought, spanning some two and a half millennia and encompassing several major religious traditions. This very short introduction emphasizes the diversity of Indian thought, and is structured around six schools which have achieved classic status. Sue Hamilton explores how the traditions have attempted to understand the nature of reality in terms of an inner or spiritual quest, and introduces distinctively Indian concepts such as karma and rebirth. She also shows how Indian thinkers have understood issues of reality and knowledge - issues which are also an important part of the Western philosophical tradition.

Philosophy of Law: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
The concept of law lies at the heart of our social and political life, shaping the character of our community and underlying issues from racism and abortion to human rights and international war. But what actually is law? A set of naturally occurring moral principles, or simply rules agreed by a particular society? What is a 'right' and what rights should people actually have? Is law really colour-blind and gender-blind? Can the law truly tell us whether gay marriages are immoral, what's wrong with racism, or whether we should go to war? Revealing the intriguing and challenging nature of legal philosophy with clarity and enthusiasm, Raymond Wacks explores the notion of law and its role in our lives. Referring to key thinkers from Aristotle to Rawls, Bentham, Dworkin, H.L.A. Hart and Derrida, he looks at the central questions behind legal theory that have fascinated lawyers and philosophers - and anyone - who ever wondered about law's relation to justice, morality, and democracy.

Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (Oxford World´s Classics)
'What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.' Always provocative, the Friedrich Nietzsche of Beyond Good and Evil (1886) is at once sceptical psychologist and philosopher-seer, passionately unmasking European society with his piercing insights and uncanny prescience. This masterpiece of his maturity considers quintessential Nietzschean topics such as the origins and nature of Judeo-Christian morality; the end of philosophical dogmatism and beginning of perspectivism; the questionable virtues of science and scholarship; liberal democracy, nationalism, and women's emancipation. Written in his most masterful style, full of irreverence and brio, Nietzsche dissects self-deluding human behaviour, bankrupt intellectual traditions, and the symptoms of social decadence, while at the same time advancing an extra-moral wisdom to be shared by those kindred soul who think 'beyond good and evil'.This new translation of Beyond Good and Evil provides readers with a true classic of modernity that sums up those forces and counterforces in nineteenth-century Western Civilisation that to an astonishing degree have also determined and continue to inform the course of our own century.

Tibetský buddhizmus: Filozofia a prax
Na rozdiel od bádania a rozvoja vedy a techniky vo vonkajšom svete, sa mnohé východné tradície zamerali na vnútro človeka, aby hľadali zmysel jeho pozemskej existencie. Kniha Tibetský buddhizmus odhaľuje čitateľovi celkom odlišnú kultúru, než v akej žije dnešný moderný človek.
Jeho Svätosť dalajláma vo svojej prednáške, ktorú predniesol počas troch dní v Londýne, podáva čitateľom stručný a hlboký výklad tibetského buddhizmu, a zároveň odhaľuje cestu, ako aplikovať teóriu v praxi. Nových záujemcov oboznamuje aj s bohatou tradíciou a rozmanitosťou smerov tohto učenia. Tí pokročilejší si prehĺbia svoje vedomosti o vyšších stupňoch poznania spojených s rôznymi rituálmi zasvätenia a splnomocnenia.
Po prečítaní tejto knihy, ktorá vás očarí pútavým výkladom a priateľským prístupom Jeho Svätosti, sa možno aj vy začnete inak pozerať na náš svet a naše hodnoty.
Z anglického originálu The World of Tibetan Buddhism: An Overview of Its Philosophy and Practice, vydaného vo vydavateľstve Wisdom Publications, Somerville v roku 2015, preložil Štefan Kočiš. Vyšlo vo vydavateľstve IKAR, a.s. v roku 2023.

A Human History of Emotion
How have our emotions shaped the course of human history? And how have our experience and understanding of emotions evolved with us?
We humans like to think of ourselves as rational creatures, who, as a species, have relied on calculation and intellect to survive. But many of the most important moments in our history had little to do with cold, hard facts and a lot to do with feelings. Events ranging from the origins of philosophy to the birth of the world's major religions, the fall of Rome, the Scientific Revolution, and some of the bloodiest wars that humanity has ever experienced can't be properly understood without understanding emotions.
In A Human History of Emotion, Richard Firth-Godbehere takes readers on a fascinating and wide-ranging tour of the central and often under-appreciated role emotions have played in human societies around the world and throughout history - from Ancient Greece to Gambia, Japan, the Ottoman Empire, Britain, and beyond.
Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, art and religious history, A Human History of Emotion vividly illustrates how our understanding and experience of emotions has changed over time, and how our beliefs about feelings - and our feelings themselves - profoundly shaped us and the world we inhabit.
