Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) is one of the most underrated authors in history. Philosophically, he is not on the same level as Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, but when it comes to personal development, he is one of the best. Montaigne displayed a remarkable curiosity in his literary work, to which he devoted the last two decades of his life. He researched classical authors, taking copious notes, and seeking to draw conclusions of universal value. His research revolved around a single goal, namely, find recipes for happiness. This book presents Montaigne's life and works, emphasising the ...

It emphasizes Schopenhauer's advice on happiness, success, personal effectiveness and stress reduction, showing how today's readers can benefit from Schopenhauer's insights. TABLE ...

Reason and Human Ethics argues that a secular, biological, teleological basis of human ethics exists and that reasoning and critical thinking about both ends and means are essential to human ethics.

Chapter 1 (“What Is the Basis of Human Ethics?”) discusses the various theories of the basis of ethics over the millennia. It concludes that ethics is properly founded on a secular, biological, teleological understanding of human nature. Chapter 2 (...

INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE EL ENTENDIMIENTO HUMANO: Esta investigación desafía las nociones preconcebidas sobre el conocimiento, la causa y efecto, y la existencia de Dios. Hume argumenta que nuestro entendimiento se basa más en la experiencia y la percepción sensorial que en la razón pura. Con su enfoque escéptico y empírico, este trabajo no solo pone en cuestión las bases del pensamiento religioso y filosófico, sino que también establece las bases para la filosofía moderna y la ciencia cognitiva.

This slim book makes a compelling case that the future of humanity would be better served by limiting procreation. A natural extension of secular humanism, Dr Dana draws from settled science the recognition that, across geologic time, the total weight of suffering in the world far exceeds the pleasures enjoyed by the privileged few. Using his signature “haiku quintet” poetic form, he artfully leads the reader to this inescapable ethical conclusion. Finally, he offers high-empathy readers practical ways to implement this compassionate worldview, which may initially appear remotely ...

Éste es un libro fuera de todo género literario, de naturaleza ensayística, escrito en primera persona. En él se combinan metafísica, religión, esoterismo, filosofía, ciencia y psicología. El denominador común es el individuo, el ente humano, y cómo se relaciona con el todo. Puede ser duro para aquellos cuya conexión es positiva, clara y definida. Pero se convierte en un atípico manual de supervivencia para aquellos que están perdidos, aquellos que no se han encontrado del todo, o para aquellos que necesitan una explicación y sentido a sus vidas que no ha conseguido ningún ...

En esta breve reflexión, me cuestiono a mí mismo acerca del concepto de felicidad. ¿Qué es? ¿Cómo es? Y si es real y alcanzable, ¿cuál debería ser el camino a seguir...? "La felicidad es cuando lo que piensas, lo que dices y lo que haces están en armonía." —Mahatma Gandhi.

Este escrito representa mi intento por comprender por qué el mundo no cambia cuando uno quiere cambiarlo, y por qué está bien que así sea. Lejos de ofrecer soluciones, propone una actitud que combina la confianza en que todo tiene un orden —aunque no lo comprendamos del todo— con la duda permanente sobre nuestras propias certezas: el optimismo escéptico. No se trata de una contradicción, sino de un equilibrio. Una manera de estar en el mundo sin pretensiones mesiánicas ni resignación cínica.

Non arrendiamoci alla paura, all'indifferenza, all'egoismo. Non rassegniamoci alla solitudine e a un mondo che ci appare spesso disumano, ma che può essere ancora riscattato dalla nostra azione consapevente. È da questa esortazione che nasce l'appassionata discussione tra Matteo Zuppi, presidente della CEI e arcivescovo di Bologna, e Walter Veltroni, politico, scrittore e regista, guidati da Edoardo Camurri, i due autori si confrontano sui temi decisivi del nostro presente.
