How to Live Like a Stoic
'The inestimable Tom Hodgkinson once again contributes to our collective calm with this perfectly judged collection of philosophy.' Emma Thompson 'A great guide to philosophy and big ideas... it made me laugh out loud. It’s such a cheerful book, I read it in one go (well... two) and emerged refreshed and nourished.' Dominic West'He knows that play is one of the best teachers, and this treatise on Stoicism is illuminating, engaging, informative and highly accessible' Irvine WelshThere’s more to Stoicism than shrugging your shoulders and getting on with it, as Tom Hodgkinson discovers in this witty and enlightening book. Stoicism is an enduring and ancient philosophy that can help you with everything from love and politics to money and spirituality. The Stoics were celebrated by the Romans, they influenced Christianity and even Shakespeare admired them. Today, both therapists and politicians will profess adherence to the Stoic creed. The “serenity prayer” is a Stoic statement. The Beatles’ “Let it Be” is a Stoic song. Tom Hodgkinson, author of bestselling How to Be Idle, goes back to the original philosophical texts and looks at the greatest Stoics in history – including Seneca, Cicero, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and St Augustine – to see if they can help us find fulfilment. He discovers that Stoicism is much stranger and more radical than you’d think. With witty reflections on everything from ethics, grammar, rhetoric, education, friendship and the importance of occasionally letting your hair down, Tom Hodgkinson shares his genuinely funny and brilliant guide to the Stoic life.
Ancient Wisdoms for Modern Crises
We live in a time of abundance and comfort for some, scarcity and hardship for others—a period that seems to have all of us teetering on the brink. Certainly, there is no lack of modern crises, but do we possess the wisdom to overcome them, and where might we seek that wisdom? Ancient Wisdoms for Modern Crises: Learning From Laozi's "Daodejing" looks to the Daodejing, a text written during the late Zhou Dynasty (600–400 BCE), for guidance. One of the core treatises of Eastern philosophy, it advocates humility, simplicity, and sustainable living. As both a personal and political philosophy, it is radically gentle, encouraging readers to embrace humility, modesty, compassion, and selflessness while simultaneously resisting the urge to conquer, control, and dominate—teachings that can help each of us navigate contemporary life. Finding solutions to such difficult problems requires all the wisdom, ancient and modern, that humans can muster. Replete with the author's fresh translation of the eighty-one-verse Daodejing, this book touches on topics ranging from environmentalism and human suffering to biodiversity loss and the rise of authoritarianism in an effort to forge a more restrained, sustainable, just, supportive, and compassionate society.
Contemporary Aristotelian Ethics
This volume provides a thorough introduction to three of the twentieth century's most influential proponents of Aristotle's moral philosophy. Arthur Madigan's Contemporary Aristotelian Ethics examines the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, Martha Nussbaum, and Robert Spaemann in the context of twentieth-century Anglo-American moral philosophy. By surveying the ways in which these three philosophers appropriate Aristotle, Madigan illustrates two important points: first, that the most pressing problems in contemporary moral philosophy can be addressed using the Aristotelian tradition and, second, that the Aristotelian tradition does not speak with one voice. Madigan demonstrates that Aristotelian moral philosophy is divided on important issues, such as the value of liberal modernity, the character and provenance of our current moral landscape, and the role of nature in Aristotle's ethics. Through his examination of MacIntyre, Nussbaum, and Spaemann, Madigan offers a vision for the future of Aristotelian moral philosophy, urging today's philosophers to set a clear educational agenda, to continue refining their concepts and intuitions, and to engage with new conversation partners from other philosophical traditions.

Do Not Go Gentle
"Do Not Go Gentle is a bracing, often chilling wrestle with the ethical dilemmas surrounding the assisted death service - a deeply unsettling read, clear and powerful. Kathleen Stock remains fearless, endless, thought provoking and always entertaining." Nick Cave"Characteristically sharp, clever and vital," Jane O'Grady, The Daily Telegraph"Admirably clear and cogent... this is a polemic, but a polite one." Kathryn Hughes, The GuardianIs there a right to di? s assisted death really compassionat? re we sleepwalking into a moral disaste? n Do Not Go Gentle, acclaimed writer and philosopher Kathleen Stock tackles one of the great debates of our time: should we set up a system of assisted death? With her trademark sharp thinking and dry wit, the bestselling author of Material Girls argues that despite what some progressives might tell you, assisted death will not give a person more "freedom" or "control" over their lives. Whether you have a terminal illness, are in chronic pain, or are disabled, being able to ask your doctor to kill you fundamentally changes society's attitude towards the vulnerable - and in a sinister direction. Life is complex. For some individuals, an assisted death might be the right choice. But we should be deeply wary of introducing a system that offers death as just another option, especially when palliative care is so under-resourced. Expertly marshalling the arguments, Stock's laser polemic cuts through the wishful thinking and clouded reasoning that surrounds the issue and reaffirms life, rather than death, as what we should be fighting for. Collectively, we should rage against the dying of the light.
Filozofické skice
Zbierka esejí Filozofické skice americkej filozofky Susanne K. Langerovej patrí medzi zásadné knihy skúmajúce oblasť logiky, estetiky a teórie mysle. V diele, pôvodne vydanom ako Philosophical Sketches (1962), autorka rozpracúva spôsoby, akým si ľudia vytvárajú zmysel sveta vo vede, jazyku, umení, mýtoch a v snoch. S. K. Langer (1895 – 1985) nachádza pre filozofiu „novým kľúč“, ktorým je poznanie, že základné zmyslové údaje a fakty, tvoriace ľudskú skúsenosť a poznanie sveta, sú vo svojej podstate symbolické. Autorka si celosvetovo získala množstvo priaznivcov, ktorý ocenili návrat k podstate filozofického myslenia, metódu analýzy, vecnosť a početné esejistické prvky. Bádateľka si za svojho prijímateľa nevyberá iba profesionála, ale aj laika a svojho čitateľa vníma komplexne ako učenca i učiaceho sa. Kľúčovú problematiku symbolizmu podáva nielen z filozofického či estetického hľadiska, ale tiež vo vzájomnom prepojení vied v širších historických, antropologických, kulturologických a neurovedeckých súvislostiach.
Spinoza, Atheist
From Pulitzer Prize finalist Steven Nadler, a fascinating historical and philosophical narrative that unravels the mystery of whether Spinoza was an atheistIn 1656, a young Amsterdam merchant was excommunicated by his Portuguese-Jewish community in the harshest terms it had ever used. Baruch Spinoza was accused of unspecified “horrifying heresies,” but the precise reasons for his expulsion remain a mystery. When he published his Theological-Political Treatise in 1670, which was condemned as “the most atheistic book ever written,” he began to reveal to the world what his heresies may have been. Yet ever since the eighteenth century, most readers and scholars have assumed that Spinoza was a pantheist—even a “God-intoxicated man,” as the poet Novalis put it. After all, how could a person whose books are suffused with talk of God be an atheist? In Spinoza, Atheist, Steven Nadler, one of the world’s leading authorities on the philosopher, aims to settle the question and show that that’s exactly what he was. Nadler makes a powerful case that there is no real divinity for Spinoza. God is Nature, and isn’t an object of worshipful awe or religious reverence but can only be understood through philosophy and science. There is nothing supernatural—no mystery, ineffability, or sublimity. Spinoza does speak of “blessedness” and “salvation,” but these, too, are to be understood in natural and rational terms, as the peace of mind and happiness that come from understanding ourselves and the world. Whether Spinoza believed in God is a fascinating and enduring controversy. Spinoza, Atheist promises to transform our understanding of his views and to make clear just how radical a thinker he was and remains.
The Philosopher’s Ring—Wagner as Thinker and Dramatist
Presents Wagner as a serious philosopher and offers a fresh perspective on the Ring and its unique fusion of myth, human drama, and philosophical insight. Few figures of the nineteenth century were more influential than Richard Wagner, and few works of art have the scope and historical significance of The Ring of the Nibelung. Wagner himself said that it expressed his entire philosophy of life. Yet little attention has been paid to him as a philosopher, aesthetic theories aside. Instead, the Ring has been viewed in the light of Schopenhauer, Feuerbach, or even Hegel. Wagner's own ideas do not deserve this neglect, and this book addresses that omission. It starts with the more widely read philosophers of his day, such as Fichte; in their context Wagner's often fragmentary thoughts reveal a coherent "materialist idealism" that constitutes a late but significant contribution to Classical German philosophy. His acute social and psychological insights are still relevant, and so is the philosophical history that he saw prefigured in Greek tragedy. Wagner's philosophy also illuminates the structure of the Ring and offers fresh insights into the characters and conflicts of that endlessly interpretable work. Approachable and engagingly written, balancing narrative, philosophical analysis, and a detailed consideration of the Ring's four music dramas, The Philosopher's Ring shows the cycle to be a work of unparalleled philosophical depth, one reason that it continues to challenge audiences even now, a century and a half after its premiere.
The Beginning Comes After the End
Solnit maps the extraordinary revolution of ideas and rights that we've experienced over the last fifty years, which has profoundly changed our world.
In recognising the interdependent and symbiotic relationships in nature and among humans, this revolution is beginning to overturn capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and the human domination of nature - despite the best efforts of the old world to fight back.
From one of the most significant thinkers of our day, The Beginning Comes After the End is a culmination of years of activism and offers a unique perspective on our politics and our humanity, to give hope in difficult times and to urgently remind us that the power to change the world is within our reach.
Living in a Strange World
Metaphysicians and cosmologists often make bold, surprising claims about the universe. It is bigger, older, full of more things, more intricately interconnected, than most of us ever thought. Supposing they are correct, does that have any bearing on what we ought to believe about everyday matters, and on what we ought to feel, want, and do in everyday contexts? Many philosophers have been explicitly or implicitly committed to answering 'no' to this question. In Living in a Strange World, Caspar Hare argues for 'yes'. If advocates of chaos theory are correct then we should rethink how we ought to feel about past evil actions. We ought to feel the positive analogue of regret towards almost everything that has ever been done. If advocates of plenitudinous material ontologies are correct, then we should rethink how we ought to feel about our own suffering versus the suffering of others, and what we ought to believe about where we are and who we are. If advocates of spatial and material infinity are correct then we should rethink how we ought to treat strangers. Whether and how we ought to help them depends in surprising ways on how much we know about them. In sum--bold claims in metaphysics and cosmology matter. Living in a Strange World explores what metaphysics and cosmology teach us about navigating the complexities of our existence and making thoughtful choices about how we live.
Traversal
In Traversal, Maria Popova traverses the border between life and death, chance and choice, chemistry and consciousness: what makes a body a person? What makes a planet a world? How do we safeguard our love of truth from our lust for power? What slakes our longings and what redeems our losses? Popova illuminates our various instruments of reckoning with these questions - our telescopes and our treatises, our postulates and our poems - through the intertwined lives, loves and legacies of visionaries both celebrated and sidelined by history, people born into the margins of their time and place who lived to write the future: Mary Shelley, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Fanny Wright. Woven throughout their stories are other threads - the decoding of the insulin molecule, the invention of the bicycle, how nature creates blue - which come together to create a rich tapestry of life's meaning; exploring what it is that makes life alive and worth living. By turns epic and intimate, Traversal explores the universe between cells and souls to reveal the world, and our lives, in a dazzling new light.
The Courage to be Happy
The sequel to the global bestseller The Courage To Be Disliked, the Japanese phenomenon in applying twentieth-century psychology to contemporary dilemmas continues with life-changing advice on finding happiness.
In The Courage To Be Happy, Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga again distil their wisdom into simple yet profound advice to show us how we, too, can use twentieth-century psychological theory to find true happiness.
ON THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED:
The ideas proffered here will certainly make you think twice about the real cause of the emotional drama in your life. A thought-provoking read. - Mail on Sunday.
A real game-changer - Marie Claire.

Lacná kniha Existence a ten, kdo existuje (-70%)
Lévinas studoval v Heidelbergu u E. Husserla a M. Heideggera a v Paříži. Jako francouzský důstojník přežil válku v zajateckém táboře všichni jeho příbuzní zahynuli v koncentračních táborech. Po válce byl pověřen obnovou židovského školství ve Francii a zároveň začal rozvíjet svéráznou linii myšlení, v níž hlavní roli hraje setkání s druhým člověkem. Celá západní tradice je dle Lévinase zaujata otázkou bytí, které se chápe jako bytí věcí, kdežto daleko základnější otázka, jak jsme s druhými lidmi, zůstala v pozadí. Zatímco věci mohu ovládat a mít v rukou, druhý se mi ukazuje jako „tvář“, jež není věcí mezi věcmi, nýbrž poselstvím, výzvou. Jakmile člověk zaslechl výzvu tváře druhého, stává se jeho „rukojmím“ v bezmezné odpovědnosti, neboť zároveň také ví, že může být šťasten a svobodný jen spolu s ním. Tak se jádrem Lévinasovy filosofie stává etika, která nevychází z apriorních axiomů jako u Kanta, nýbrž ze zkušenosti setkání s tváří.

Rozprava o vedách a umeniach
Francúzsky spisovateľ a filozof v diele Rozprava o vedách a umeniach (za ktorú mu Dijonská akadémia v roku 1750 udelila prestížnu cenu) rozpútal proti vedám a umeniam boj, ktorý predznamenal jeho definitívny rozchod s vtedajšími, už vychýrenými mysliteľmi a ich doktrínami. V úvode ešte striktne neupiera vedám a umeniam blahodarné účinky, vzápätí sa však uchyľuje k obžalobe, že súčasné mravy nahradilo pokrytectvo, falošná zdvorilosť, „ozajstná skazenosť“, s nezvyčajnou odvahou hádže rukavicu aj spisovateľom a podčiarkuje neresti civilizovanej spoločnosti, ktoré vládnu v literárnych salónoch. V prvej časti spracúva témy z filozofického a historického hľadiska, uvádza konkrétne príklady a dochádza k záveru, že sa treba vzdať úsilia „vymaniť sa zo šťastnej nevedomosti, ktorú nám vyhradila večná múdrosť“. V druhej časti analyzuje proces skazenosti mravov v dôsledku vzdelanostnej úrovne, pokúša sa odhaliť jeho pôvod a načrtnúť celý vývoj, upozorňuje na pochybný predmet poznania a na nebezpečenstvo jeho štúdia, odsudzuje záhaľku a prepych ako najväčšie zlo ženúce vedcov a umelcov do záhuby.
