Filozofie na počátku 21.století - 1.část
Stephen Hawking napsal, že filozofové se do teoretické fyziky nemohou plést, protože nestačí sledovat nejnovější trendy v tomto oboru. Při tom konstatoval, že podle Ludwiga Wittgensteina nezbývá filozofii než zabývat se rozborem jazyka. To má být ústup od stoletých tradic filozofie od Aristotela až po Kanta. Autor této knihy se snaží dokázat, že se oba pánové ve svých názorech mýlí. Filozofie je matkou všech věd. Historicky se jednotlivé vědy z filozofie postupem doby oddělovaly. V současnosti je úkolem filozofie dohlížet na to, zda nezbloudily a zda nesledují jiný cíl než odhalovat pravdu o objektivní realitě.

Releasing our Burdens
‘Trauma can cause our parts to take on burdens. Yet, when we bring the spiritual values of curiosity, gratitude, and kindness to these burdened parts, we discover incredible opportunities for healing and awakening’A radical approach to collective healing, restoring wholeness and reclaiming your true selfWhen we focus only on our own trauma, we cannot see how other types of trauma – ancestral, cultural, social, and spiritual – contribute to our present pain and suffering. But when we step back to consider how different parts of our identities are connected, we have a much more complete and coherent picture of our pain. And with awareness comes healing. In this powerful collaboration, Richard Schwartz – creator of Internal Family Systems – and fellow trauma expert Thomas Hübl expand the map of healing. Through practical exercises such as meditation and reflections, this book will help you release the beliefs and emotions that are burdening you. Using an integrative approach, the authors will not only help you understand the roots of your trauma, but offer you the practical tools to end the cycle of harm for good.

Paleolit českých zemí
Ve strategickém prostoru uprostřed Evropy se během několika statisíciletí a na pozadí proměnlivého klimatu střetávaly migrace lidských populací, probíhaly závěrečné etapy biologické evoluce, střídaly se technologické inovace a umělecké styly. Tyto události nemusely být méně dramatické než ty, o nichž se dočítáme v pozdějších kronikách a dokumentech. Kniha ojedinělým způsobem propojuje výsledky přírodovědných disciplín a české archeologie paleolitu. Tým spoluautorů vedený Jiřím A. Svobodou předkládá nové výsledky průzkumů, které na toto téma u nás proběhly. K oblasti Moravy a Slezska nově připojuje také Čechy. Českým čtenářům se vůbec poprvé dostává do rukou práce takového formátu a zaměření. Text glosuje, případně aktualizuje starší, a proto již zaběhaná klišé z pohledu současné vědy a soudobých znalostí.
Průvodce povstaleckou Prahou (Svazek I.+ Svazek II.)
V roce 2025 si připomínáme osmdesáté výročí konce druhé světové války a s ním spojeného Pražského povstání.
V něm se od 5. do 9. května 1945 utkali civilisté, z nichž mnozí neměli možnost projít základním vojenským výcvikem, s přesilou dobře vyzbrojených a vycvičených německých jednotek. Dodnes lze narazit na pamětní desky či pomníčky tam, kde lidé bránící své město položili život. Kniha provádí čtenáře místy, kde se odehrávaly důležité boje či události úzce spojené s přípravou nebo průběhem povstání v hlavním městě. Kromě osudů přímých bojovníků jsou v knize připomínáni i lidé, kteří se v nesprávnou chvíli ocitli na nesprávném místě a stali se oběťmi bombardování Prahy či řádění esesmanů. Hlavním cílem je zaznamenat co nejvíce informací o konkrétních bojovnících, kteří si i po osmi desítkách let zaslouží naši nezměrnou úctu a obdiv.

Where The Hell Have You Been?
''A terrific read'' Andy McNabIn November 1942, two nights after the Battle of El Alamein, a young British army officer was captured. As the Nazis deliberated about what to do with him, Richard Carver had particular reason to be afraid: unknown to anyone, he was the stepson of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the Allied Commander who had just inflicted the first defeat on the Third Reich. This gripping story tells of Richard''s internment in a POW camp in northern Italy. Having decided to risk making his way back to Allied HQ in the south, he embarked on a gruelling 500-mile journey through German-occupied territory, evading capture again and again and ultimately being saved by a family of brave Italians who jeopardised not just their own lives but those of an entire village to hide him. In the winter of 1943, a year after he disappeared, he staggered back into Army HQ, to be greeted by his stepfather with the words, ''Where the hell have you been?''This is a great adventure story - a reminder of a lost age, and of a generation forced to rise to extraordinary feats of valour in the service of a cause greater than themselves.''Riveting and remarkable'' Ben Macintyre, author of Operation Mincemeat ''This account is a gem. It reminds one of the gallantry and devotion to duty of a generation that has left us.'' Patrick Cordingley, Commander of the Desert Rats, Iraq, 1991Where the Hell Have You Been? provides a completely new way of seeing the prickly old warrior, Monty'' The Daily Telegraph
The Apothecary's Wife
The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments – and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century.Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today’s global for-profit medication system.A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary’s Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine’s values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.
Awakening Creativity
This inspirational and transformational guide invites readers on a sacred pilgrimage to connect with their inner creativity. Each chapter focuses on the lessons of a different creative “temple.” Readers will learn to embrace and heal their relationship with creativity through reflections and exercises throughout. Do you hear the call to creativity? Some of us yearn to paint, draw, sculpt, sing, or dance but won’t try for fear of failing. Others were once artists but stopped creating after their work was shamed by others, which caused a creativity wound. In Awakening Creativity, author, artist, and creativity coach Carrie Schmitt invites you on a sacred pilgrimage to heal your wounds and unlock your creative potential. In each chapter, you will travel to a different “temple,” exploring a creative theme through stories of famous artists and spiritual traditions from around the world. Every stop on your journey includes exercises and reflections designed to deepen your connection with your inner artist. As you travel, you will create your own guidebook, which will become a treasured collection of devotional readings, blessings, artwork, and the revelations you experience along the way. Many of us have at some time or another said, “I’m just not that creative.” Schmitt fervently believes that this is not true. There is a creative spirit in everyone, just waiting to be acknowledged. With Awakening Creativity, you can learn to embrace yours.

Dřevěná hranice
Kniha Dřevěná hranice přibližuje dramatické události krátkého období tzv. druhé republiky, které zásadně ovlivnily život obyvatel dnešního Jablonecka a Semilska. Autor se zaměřuje na období po mnichovské dohodě v říjnu 1938, kdy došlo k německému záboru pohraničí a ke vzniku Říšské župy Sudety. Na základě historických pramenů, dobových svědectví a dosud nezveřejněných fotografií popisuje průběh vytyčení nové státní hranice i každodenní život na okupovaném území.
Zachycuje nejen politické a vojenské události, ale i společenské a kulturní proměny regionu – otázky školství, průmyslu, kultury i postavení české menšiny v nově nastolených poměrech. Autor nabízí široký pohled na dané období, který zaujme jak odborníky a regionální historiky, tak čtenáře se zájmem o osudy českého pohraničí.
Kniha svým rozsahem i hloubkou zpracování představuje mimořádný příspěvek k poznání historie regionu, který byl doposud v publikační činnosti spíše opomíjen.
The Emperor of All Maladies
Riveting, audacious and now more urgent than ever in this vast update, The Emperor of All Maladies is a masterpiece.
The story of cancer is a human one - a tale of chance discoveries, seized opportunities and human endurance. From innovative early surgeries to the Curies' ultimately tragic work with radiation; from Sidney Farber's hugely risky discovery of chemotherapy to the author's treatment of his own patients, The Emperor of All Maladies is a profound and revelatory portrait of an enigmatic disease humans have lived with, and perished from, for more than five thousand years.
In this updated edition of Siddhartha Mukherjee's instant classic, four new chapters reveal what has changed in the universe of cancer in the years since the book was first published. With moving eloquence, he offers an insight into our evolving understanding of cancer's causes and the emerging, revolutionary new treatments that might shape its future, including those that Mukherjee himself has helped devise.
Shame
The uses of shame (and shamelessness) in spheres that range from social media and consumerism to polarized politics and mass violenceToday, we are caught in a shame spiral—a vortex of mutual shaming that pervades everything from politics to social media. We are shamed for our looks, our culture, our ethnicity, our sexuality, our poverty, our wrongdoings, our politics. But what is the point of all this shaming and countershaming? Does it work? And if so, for who? n Shame, David Keen explores the function of modern shaming, paying particular attention to how shame is instrumentalized and weaponized. Keen points out that there is usually someone who offers an escape from shame—and that many of those who make this offer have been piling on shame in the first place. Self-interested manipulations of shame, Keen argues, are central to understanding phenomena as wide-ranging as consumerism, violent crime, populist politics, and even war and genocide. Shame is political as well as personal. To break out of our current cycle of shame and shaming, and to understand the harm that shame can do, we must recognize the ways that shame is being made to serve political and economic purposes. Keen also traces the rise of leaders on both sides of the Atlantic who possess a dangerous shamelessness, and he asks how shame and shamelessness can both be damaging. Answering this question means understanding the different types of shame. And it means understanding how shame and shamelessness interact—not least when shame is instrumentalized by those who are selling shamelessness. Keen points to a perverse and inequitable distribution of shame, with the victims of poverty and violence frequently being shamed, while those who benefit tend to exhibit shamelessness and even pride.
The Choice Point
The scientifically proven method to overcome obstacles and make choices that lead us closer to our goalsWITH A FOREWORD BY MARTINA NAVRATILOVAWhen we choose to go to the gym at 6 a.m., keep running that marathon or stay up late to study, we are making conscious, value-based decisions that help us fulfil our goals. But even though we know that daily good choices add up to healthy habits and strong results, these days it's just too easy to surrender to negative thoughts and old habits. How can we no? nter Functional Imagery Training (FIT). Grounded in science, FIT helps us lengthen our Choice Point: that moment when we say to ourselves, 'Am I going to make the healthy decision, or am I going to choose to take an action that I know will undermine my success?' Merging mindfulness, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy into a user-friendly model, The Choice Point grants us control of the decisions that define us.
Easter in Disguise
Lent is Easter in disguise, a radical, subversive season of resistance. A blend of contemporary spirituality, scriptural reflection and tales from one of the UK’s youngest nuns make this a vibrant take on an ancient season.Sister Liz Dodd, an activist and journalist, draws on feminist and Liberation theologies, as well as her work with refugees and her adventures cycling around the world, to outline a new spirituality for social justice. This Lent she challenges Christians to do more than give up chocolate: Lent is God’s invitation to shake up your life, rattle your parish, and change the world.Learn from Jesus the spiritualities that he passed onto his disciples, including solidarity, poverty, hospitality, peace-making and protest. Explore ways to practise them against racism, inequality, homelessness and the climate crisis alongside spiritual guides including Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King, Jr and Pope Francis.This book is a companion to the six weeks of Lent, with each week and its gospel focus corresponding to one of Jesus’ six spiritualities of social justice. It culminates in a fresh look at the traditions of Holy Week. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and a suggested spiritual practice, making it ideal for use with a group as well as for personal prayer.
The Decline and Fall of Republican Afghanistan
A searing indictment of how Afghan elites and the Western powers pulled the rug on the Afghan people, abandoning them to their fate.The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in 2021 was the result of declining active support for the government, and of waste and inefficiency in aid delivery. Yet, while corrosive, these problems were not in themselves sufficient to have brought about a collapse. To a significant degree, they were the result of early failings in institutional design, reflecting an American inclination to pursue short-term policy approaches that created perverse incentives—thus interfering with the long-term objective of stability.This book exposes the true factors underpinning Kabul’s fall. The Afghan Republic came under relentless attack from Taliban insurgents who depended critically on Pakistani support. It also suffered a creeping invasion that put the government on the back foot as the US tried and failed to deal with Pakistan’s perfidy. The fatal blow came when bored US leaders naively cut an exit deal with the enemy, fatally compromising the operation of the Afghan army and air force and triggering the final collapse, with top leaders at odds over whether to make a final stand in Kabul.The Afghan Republic did not simply decline and fall. It was betrayed.

Enemy Literature
An entire forgotten corpus of US writing on the Nazi German enemy boomed in a matter of a few years, peaked during World War II, and collapsed within months of the war ending. For a fleeting moment in history, significant parts of the intellectual world in the United States converged to provide a cool-headed analysis of the Nazi threat and a clear identification of the enemy. Starting in 1944, these writers also offered an elaborate plan for a postwar re-education that would transform the National Socialist German nation into a democratic ally. Readers alarmed by the current resurgence of authoritarianism will learn from the work of those activists who analyzed Nazi Germany during World War II. This book, the first monographic study of this literature, provides pointed introductions to the main intellectual projects, their unique collaborative spirit, and their epochal results.
