Why? The Purpose of the Universe
Western thought has been dominated by the dichotomy of traditional religion and secular atheism. But do we have to choose between these option? n this pioneering work, Philip Goff argues that it is time to move on from both God and atheism. Through an exploration of contemporary cosmology and cutting-edge philosophical research on consciousness, Goff argues for cosmic purpose: the idea that the universe is directed towards certain goals, such as the emergence of life. In contrast to religious thinkers, Goff argues that the traditional God is a bad explanation of cosmic purpose. Instead, he explores a range of alternative possibilities for accounting for cosmic purpose, from the speculation that we live in a computer simulation to the hypothesis that the universe itself is a conscious mind. Goff scrutinizes these options with analytical rigour, laying the foundations for a new paradigm of philosophical enquiry into the middle ground between God and atheism. Ultimately, Goff outlines a way of living in hope that cosmic purpose is still unfolding, involving political engagement and a non-literalist interpretation of traditional religion.
Considerations on Western Marxism
This synoptic essay considers the nature and evolution of the Marxist theory that developed in Western Europe, after the defeat of the proletarian rebellions in the West and the isolation of the Russian Revolution in the East in the early 1920s. It focuses particularly on the work of Lukács, Korsch and Gramsci; Adorno, Marcuse and Benjamin; Sartre and Althusser; and Della Volpe and Colletti, together with other figures within Western Marxism from 1920 to 1975. The theoretical production of each of these thinkers is related simultaneously to the practical fate of working-class struggles and to the cultural mutations of bourgeois thought in their time.
The philosophical antecedents of the various school within this tradition - Lukácsian, Gramscian, Frankfurt, Sartrean, Althusserian and Della Volpean - are compared, and the specific innovations of their respective systems surveyed. The structural unity of 'Western Marxism', beyond the diversity of its individual thinkers, is then assessed, in a balance-sheet that contrasts its heritage with the tradition of 'classical' Marxism that preceded it, and with the commanding problems which will confront any historical materialism to succeed it.
Bullsh*t Comparisons
Bullshit Comparisons will challenge the way you think about rankings, charts and other marketing and political tools designed to create odious and dangerous comparisons.
Is Boris Johnson really like Winston Churchill? Are electric cars actually greener than petrol ones? Which is the world's most successful university? Is Lisbon the new Barcelona? Should we compare the achievements of younger and older siblings even when we know it damages their self-worth? We make comparisons every day, but how helpful are they?
Looking across a dazzling range of situations both familiar and unfamiliar, Bullshit Comparisons is a ground-breaking examination of the role of comparison in modern society, illuminated by examples spanning from the FIFA World Footballer of the year, to wine-tasting in London, hospital care in Sierra Leone and avocado farming in Colombia.
Challenging us to think critically about the use of comparison through accessible, personal, and often amusing research, Andrew Brooks reveals the uses and abuses of comparisons in a book that isn't like anything else you have read.
Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing)
The Tao Te Ching, written around 300BC, describes the fundamental beliefs of Taoism, addressing how to live a simple, peaceful and harmonious life, how to rid oneself of desires and institutions that promote greed. This traditional Chinese-bound dual-language edition presents the original Chinese text with a new translation on the facing page.
No understanding of Chinese civilization is possible without a grasp of Taoism, the philosophy that has shaped not just Chinese spirituality but also art, science
and politics. And it was in the Tao Te Ching, written around 300BC, that the fundamental beliefs of Taoism were first gathered. This short, wise but very humble book went on to influence on philosophy, religion and politics.
In a compellingly simple rhetorical style the book addresses how to live a simple, peaceful and harmonious life, how to rid oneself of desires and free society of institutions that promote greed.
This dual-language edition of Tao Te Ching presents the original Chinese characters with a new translation on the facing page. With a new introduction that
discusses the questioned authorship of the text and editorial notes, all 81 brief chapters are included, ranging from advice for politicians to wise words for the
everyday person.
Of immense influence across millennia, Tao Te Ching is a classic text richly deserving this exquisite edition.
Confucius: The Analects
Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding with a new introduction and editorial notes, this complete edition of the Analects from Confucius and his disciples will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, spirituality and Chinese culture.
You may rob the Three Armies of their commander, but you cannot deprive the humblest peasant of his opinion – Confucius (Analects 9.25)
The Analects of Confucius has been one of the most widely read and studied books in China for the last 2,000 years, and continues to have a substantial influence on thought and values today. His words largely concern ethics, morality within the family, within marriage and within government, social relationships, justice and sincerity, valour and virtue. But whether you regard this as high philosophy or self- help for all the ages, whether your interest is in Chinese culture or leadership, whether it is spirituality or success that occupies your thoughts, Confucius has wise and accessible things to say about them all.
This complete edition of the Analects, which is made up of 20 books of brief passages from Confucius and his disciples, is presented with a new introduction and new editorial notes. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding and with a timeless design, Confucius: The Analects will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, spirituality and Chinese culture.
Zviera, ktoré teda som
Kniha Zviera, ktoré teda som je jedným z prvých príspevkov do diskusie o environmentálnej etike, keďže hlavnou témou tejto knihy je analýza etiky zvierat. Jacques Derrida tu zavádza pojem zvieracia inakosť. Hlavnou postavu knihy je jeho mačka. Etiku tu teda definuje ako založenú na pojme inakosti, ktorý by sa ale nemal týkať iba ľudských bytostí, ale aj zvierat a všetkých živých bytostí. Robí tak analýzu diskurzu o zvieratách v dejinách myslenia, pričom konštatuje, že niektorí filozofi boli k zvieratám nepriateľskí (Porfyrios, Aristoteles, Kant, Nietzsche, Montaigne, Caroll, Bentham, Descartes, Levinas, Lacan). Kniha vznikla prepisom zo semináru, ktorý Derrida predniesol v Cerisy (Francúzsko) v roku 1977. Do slovenčiny bolo doposiaľ preložených len veľmi málo kníh tohto francúzskeho filozofa pôvodom z Alžírska, napriek tomu, že to bol dôležitý autor, ktorý pojmom dekonštrukcie prispel k zmene západnej filozofie a podroboval ju neustálej kritike. Jeho myslenie prispelo k vzniku nových filozofických smerov ako sú postštrukturalistický feminizmus, postkoloniálne štúdiá.

Human Capital
Does the education system make better people? Why are so many - teachers and students alike - stressed and dissatisfied? Do we need to revive real education?
Ideally, education is about the pursuit of truth, beauty and morality. But in the last few decades, a perilous fixation with human capital - skills, knowledge and aptitudes required for the labour market - has trampled over curricula, schools and universities. Rather than learning how to think critically about the world, from cradle to grave students are trained to be more effective workers, to make more money, and to serve an hegemonic ideology. Teachers and researchers are pressed to serve those goals.
In this concluding book in his series on the commons, Guy Standing shows us how education - intrinsically a common public good - has been enclosed, privatised, financialised and corrupted, turned into an instrument of societal control, not human emancipation, weakening democracy, not strengthening it. Human Capital charts how the education industry largely serves commercial interests, not its teachers and students, and considers how to revive its lost values, to save society for the common good.

Don’t Burn Anyone at the Stake Today
An electrifying, thought-provoking exploration of how the digital era is reshaping our world, by bestselling, Women's Prize-winning writer Naomi Alderman
From the award-winning, bestselling author of The Power
What’s the most useful thing you could know about your own life?
In this era-defining book, developed from her groundbreaking Radio 4 essay series, Naomi Alderman turns to a question that affects us all: how do we understand, and navigate, the epoch we’re living through?
The internet has flooded us with more knowledge, opinions, ideas, opportunities, as well as verbal attacks and misinformation, than ever before. It lets us learn more quickly and also spread falsehood more quickly, it brings us together and also divides us in countless new ways. There is no going back. But we have been here before. In fact, this is humanity’s third information crisis.
The first, the invention of writing 5,000 years ago, and the second, the invention of the printing press 600 years ago, drastically reshaped our perceptions, interactions and mental landscapes in ways that feel acutely familiar. Overwhelmed by information, people become afraid and angry, unsettled and distressed, as well as more knowledgeable, educated and curious.
By looking at those previous information crises, both the turmoil and the advances, Alderman asks what we can learn from the past to better understand our present, and how this might help us chart a way forward (once again), through the turbulent seas of information overload.

Aurora – Červánky na východě
Po letech příprav vydáváme, pokud je nám známo, historicky první český překlad transkripce rukopisu Aurora, od Jacoba Böhma z roku 1612. Lectorium Rosicrucianum.
Světu dosud neznámý zhořelecký švec Jakub Böhme tehdy ve svých pětadvaceti letech zažil osvícení při pohledu na cínovou nádobu. Spatřil „nejniternější jádro či středisko skryté přírody a mohl se dívat všemu tvorstvu takřka do srdce a do nejniternější přirozenosti“.
„… otevřela se mi brána a já jsem v jediné čtvrthodině spatřil a poznal víc, než kdybych byl strávil mnoho let na vysokých školách. Spatřil a poznal jsem jsoucnost všech jsoucností, počátek a původ tohoto světa a všech stvoření skrze božskou Moudrost. Poznal jsem a spatřil v sobě samém tři světy: svět božský, andělský či rajský, temný, odkud počíná příroda k ohni a tento zevní viditelný svět jakožto výtvor a zrození neboli vyslovenou jsoucnost z obou těch vnitřních duchovních světů.
Spatřil jsem a poznal veškeré jsoucno ve zlu a dobru, kterak jedno pochází z druhého a jak matka je rodičkou, a tu jsem se nejen velice podivil, ale nadto jsem byl naplněn radostí.“
Jacob Böhme (1574–1624) byl filozof, mystik, švec a obchodník ze Zhořelce a jeho přínos pro naši kulturu a filozofii je enormní. Zaujal Jana Amose Komenského a nepřímo ovlivnil například Johanna Wolfganga Goetha a mnoho dalších.
Úvod do platónských studií
Monografie předkládá v českém prostředí dosud chybějící komplexní přehled o platónském bádání od konce 17. století po současné trendy, včetně detailních rozborů rozhodujících textů klíčových autorů, relevantních pro studovanou problematiku. Součástí je i v mezinárodním měřítku výjimečný přehled o domácí, poměrně bohatě zastoupené platónské scéně, která je představena v návaznosti na schématické rozdělení hlavních tendencí v bádání mezinárodním. Autorovým hlediskem při výkladu celého oboru jsou hermeneutická východiska jednotlivých škol a společné momenty v metodologii každého z interpretů.
Kniha má dvě hlavní části: první představuje novodobé bádání cca do roku 2000 a druhá se pak zaměřuje na hermeneutická východiska a hlavní trendy u současných badatelů. Součástí této druhé části je i sám autor, jeho sebereflexe jakožto platónského interpreta i jeho snaha nabídnout čtenáři možné východisko z hlavních obtíží platónského bádání. Proto je značná pozornost věnována analýze velmi rozšířeného platónského perspektivismu. Právě na jeho základě navrhuje Boháček svůj molekulární perspektivismus jako určitý pokus zohlednit přínos moderního bádání a zároveň pokračovat v současné perspektivistické metodologii.
Stávat se jiným
Studie k současné fenomenologii ve Francii je současně systematická i historická fenomenologická studie. Jejím cílem je – prostřednictvím volby systematického filosofického problému dění existence jako hlavního tématu – na pozadí jediného fenomenologického pole představit a konfrontovat pět význačných představitelů současné fenomenologie ve Francii: Henriho Maldineye, Clauda Romana, Jeana-Luca Mariona, Renauda Barbarase a Marca Richira.
Všechny rysy tohoto fenomenálního pole jsou poté představeny synteticky, díky čemuž vyvstanou některé nové úkoly pro současnou fenomenologickou analýzu, a to včetně problému, který byl prvořadý pro Husserla: problému fenomenologické metaetiky či aplikované fenomenologie. Ta je nakonec ilustrována v podobě jedné možné ekofenomenologie, tj. s ohledem na jednu z výzev současného myšlení, jíž je ekologická krize.
The Way of the Warrior
This edition contains three classic texts from eastern philosophy, The Art of War, The Book of Five Rings and The Way of the Samurai.
Together, these texts set out strategies and techniques for warfare and conflict that span more than 2500 years. In The Art of War, Chinese general Sun Tzu promotes strategic flexibility, quick thinking on the battlefield, and understanding the enemy's intentions.The Book of Five Rings covers swordsmanship and the martial arts, emphasizing the need to perfect technique to improve control and discipline. In The Way of the Samurai, Inazo Nitobe explores the moral code of the Japanese warrior class, ideals that still resonate in modern Japanese society and the wider world.
Each a best-selling title in its own right, these three classic Far Eastern texts are about much more than war and being a warrior, including ideas of leadership, virtue and disciple which remain relevant to conduct in business and in life today.
The Faces of the Adversary
Roberto Esposito's poetic and historically layered new book draws on a famous, and famously opaque, passage from the Old Testament to shed light on the vision of self and domination that has profoundly shaped western identity and left its mark on western culture. These ten lines from Genesis tell the tale of Jacob wrestling with a mysterious adversary on a riverbank. But who exactly is Jacob wrestling with – the divine? Evil personified? Absolute otherness? Or his deepest, most subconscious self, repressed and projected? Who, in other words, is the adversary, and what is the enigmatic conflict that binds the two in perpetual conflict? Interchangeable and yet never resolved, these entwined adversaries speak to our great desire to come face to face with personal truth, even if only for an instant, while coming to terms with its impermanence. Casting a wide net, Esposito connects his reading of Jacob and the Angel to the fundamental relationship between self and adversary inherited by the modern West and explores the extraordinary influence this story has had on western culture, from philosophy and theology to literature, politics and art.
Microphone
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Since its invention more than 150 years ago, the microphone transformed the world in an instant. Yet its evolution and integration into our daily lives has been comparatively gradual – so gradual, crucially, that it is easy to forget just how much we take it for granted. Every phone has a microphone. Every laptop has a microphone. We are surrounded by microphones. The microphone wields enormous power. But when we're ‘on mic’ we aren't just powerful, we're vulnerable. Microphones can destroy careers as quickly as make them. The microphone is inextricable from our need to be heard. This book takes a curious, always humorous look at this object as a metaphor for power and how the fulfillment of our desire to be heard has created a multi-headed beast we are still learning how to tame.
How to Listen
A lively new translation of Plutarch’s charming and timeless essay on how to be a good listener—and why listening is essential to learning and living wellListening is a skill—even an art—and it’s essential to learning and to life. Indeed, as Plutarch writes in How to Listen, “listening well is the foundation for living well.” In this volume, Jeffrey Beneker presents a vivid and accessible new translation of Plutarch’s classic essay about how to become a skilled listener, complete with an inviting introduction and the original Greek on facing pages. Plutarch is most famous as the author of Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of Greek and Roman statesmen. But he was also an expert on teaching and learning and How to Listen is arguably one of his best pedagogical works. A proponent of active listening well before its time, Plutarch explains the skills we need—and the obstacles and distractions we must overcome—to become effective listeners. Good listening requires, above all, an acknowledgement of our own ignorance in certain subjects and a commitment to gaining knowledge. We must set aside pride and envy so we can respect the expertise of others. We must also train ourselves to see through style and focus on substance, to discriminate between weak and strong arguments, and to criticize ideas fairly and accurately. Filled with shrewd insights and advice, How to Listen shows how to cultivate a skill that everyone who wants to learn and live well must master.
