Metaphysics Philosophy

On the 50th anniversary of Robert Pirsig’s classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, John Zdanowski, a six-time $100 million business builder, applies the Metaphysics of Quality to inspire and empower the entrepreneur in each of us to create something from nothing. Blending personal anecdotes, business case studies, simple diagrams, and philosophical poetry to convey the deep meaning of complicated subjects …so you get it.

Is there such a thing as a fundamental reality, something which was around before our universe came into existence and which will still remain when all matter, time, and space itself ultimately disappear? Something fundamental which, in turn, can make space and time and matter arise from seemingly nothing? Under most cosmological and physical models, the last known remnants of reality are the disembodied laws of mathematics - beyond which it is extremely difficult to probe further.

Worshipful Brother Hextall explores various possible histories of the Hiram Abiff legend in Masonic ritual, focusing largely on noted British alchemist and astrologer Elias Ashmole in the process. He includes speculation on the manufacturing of the Master Mason degree as well as the history of its emergence. And what does the burning of historical Masonic documents in 1720 have to do with all of it? The author explains.

The Sickness Unto Death, and Other Fun Danish Party Games: Kierkegaard Without the Prozac is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally insightful, and occasionally soul-crushing guide to philosophy’s original sadboy, Søren Kierkegaard. Tired of listening to philosophy that feels like intellectual sandpaper? This book unpacks Kierkegaard’s anxiety-fueled, despair-drenched theology with the humor and honesty it desperately needs.

The soul must be eternal. Why? In the first place we see that the soul is not matter. It is neither a gross body, nor a fine body, which we call mind or thought. It is neither a physical body, nor what in Christianity is called a spiritual body. It is the gross body and the spiritual body that are liable to change. The gross body is liable to change almost every minute and dies, but the spiritual body endures through long periods, until one becomes free, when it also falls away.

Monty era un perro cualquiera. Un maltés terrier irascible y gruñón. Disfrutaba ladrar a los pug y olisquear los árboles, pero después de una dramática confrontación con el rottweiler local, Anthony se da cuenta de que es el momento para tener una charla con Monty acerca de lo que lo hace un buen o un mal perro.

The world is changing its thought; in the past, those who believed in the perpetuation of youth were among the isolated few and were looked upon with suspicion by the many; in the present, the great majority desire to perpetuate their youth, and most believe it is possible.

Navigating through time takes you on an introspective journey to explore the core tenets of philosophy and the nature of being, so that one can look in the mirror and ask the question “who are you really?” What makes up your thoughts, your actions, your character, and are you happy? Who do you want to be? Where do you want to go? Although some of us can spend a lifetime exploring, the ultimate answer lies in the heart of the seeker.

Aunque la información que aquí se comparte apunta en dirección hacia la naturaleza abstracta de una realidad incomprensible para el ser humano, hay que primero comenzar donde ahora mismo aparentamos estar. Te consideras un individuo que tiene enfrente un libro lleno de palabras que transmiten una información; de la misma manera crees todo lo que has aprendido acerca de ti. Es por eso que se utilizan conceptos para que la información pueda ser asimilada con la menor resistencia posible.

Lecture d'Orient et Occident, de René Guénon (1924).

Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785) remains one of the most influential works on moral philosophy. The German philosopher Immanuel Kant sets out by explaining the core concepts and principles of moral theory and demonstrating that they are normative for rational agents. He argues that the world of understanding is more fundamental than the world of sense. Therefore the moral law, which clearly applies to the world of understanding, also applies to the world of sense because the world of understanding is primary.

Die ›Geheimwissenschaft‹ von 1910 stellt einen zusammenfassenden Abschluss der theosophischen Phase im Denken Rudolf Steiners dar. Steiners bereits in der ›Theosophie‹ von 1904 formuliertes esoterisches Menschenbild erfährt hier eine erneute und vertiefte Darstellung, indem es eingebettet wird in eine spirituelle Kosmogonie und Anthropogenie, die an theosophische Vorbilder bei Böhme und Blavatsky ebenso anknüpft wie an philosophische Weltentstehungsmodelle von Platon bis Schelling.

This audiobook starts with the premise that we are spiritual beings existing in a physical universe, each with a specific purpose. It explains the nature of creation and our role in it, and it sheds considerable light on many of life’s “Bigger Questions”...As we learn more about these concepts, we understand better where we fit in. We become more the architect of our destiny and less the victim of chance.

"Denk einfach positiv!" Hängt Ihnen dieser abgedroschene Satz auch schon aus dem Hals raus? Wie oft sehnten Sie sich schon nach echten Lösungen für die großen und kleinen Probleme des Lebens, und wie oft fragten Sie sich, was Ihnen nach einem verlorenen Job, dem unerwarteten Beziehungsende oder der überteuerten Werkstattrechnung wirklich helfen könnte?

Este libro se escribe desde una comprensión que sólo aquel que esté listo para recibirla podrá aceptarla...la simplicidad y la obviedad de este mensaje es tal, que para poder ser bienvenido habría primero que estar dispuesto a morir. La muerte de la que aquí se habla es la muerte de un concepto. El concepto “yo soy algo”. Ese algo del que aquí se hace referencia es “soy una entidad separada”.

Every human being thrills at the thought of power. The thought means different things to different people. Power to you may mean mastery of your physical body, the ability to walk, run, play, to engage in ceaseless activity. To me, it may mean abundance, money, homes, cars - opulence. To another, power may mean education and the ability to influence people. Whatever power means to you, you desire a larger amount of it, a closer affiliation with it.

This audio program contains some of the collected writings of psychic researcher Dick Sutphen. His unique blend of metaphysics, Zen, and human-potential concepts clarifies and simplifies the spiritual quest, while challenging New Age ideas that keep seekers from focusing upon the real goal.

Dans ce court texte qui réfléchit la lumière déclinante de nos idéaux, Nietzsche ausculte nos anciennes idoles. C'est toute l'histoire de la philosophie qui est ainsi passée au scalpel, et qui tombe parfois en mille morceaux. L'humour le dispute ici à la sévérité - cruauté de bon aloi. Au carrefour de la métaphysique et de la morale, "Le crépuscule des idoles" interroge les notions fondamentales de la philosophie, telles que la raison, la volonté, la vérité. Ce titre aux accents wagnériens est emblématique de la pensée nietzschéenne.
