Modern Philosophy

"Un Mito Moderno sobre Cosas que se Ven en el Cielo" es un ensayo escrito por Carl Gustav Jung que aborda la temática de los OVNIs y los encuentros extraterrestres. Jung argumenta que estos encuentros no deben ser interpretados literalmente, sino como expresiones simbólicas del inconsciente colectivo y de la psique individual. Según él, los OVNIs y los seres extraterrestres representan arquetipos que se han manifestado en diferentes culturas y épocas, como el ángel, el demonio o el hada.

Thinkers have been fascinated by paradox since long before Aristotle grappled with Zeno's. In this volume in The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Margaret Cuonzo explores paradoxes and the strategies used to solve them. She finds that paradoxes are more than mere puzzles but can prompt new ways of thinking. A paradox can be defined as a set of mutually inconsistent claims, each of which seems true. Paradoxes emerge not just in salons and ivory towers but in everyday life.

In seinem philosophischen Hauptwerk Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung verwirft Arthur Schopenhauer jede Form von Glücklehre und entwickelt aus einem einzigen genialen Gedanken heraus eine denkbar pessimistische Sicht auf das Dasein als solches und eine Lehre von der Verneinung des Willens zum Leben. Kaum an einer anderen Stelle in seinem Werk spricht er dies so klar und so ausführlich aus wie in den hier zu hörenden Ergänzungen zum vierten Buch des 1. Bandes seines Hauptwerks.

We are living in a time of rapid change. Conversations about mental health, social influence, and manipulation are becoming more common.

From political campaigns to marketing tactics, from social media trends to personal relationships, psychology plays a bigger role in everyday life than most people realize. Yet, few take the time to truly understand how these forces work. This book is about the human mind and why we think the way ...

The human race has accepted the word God unquestionably from time immemorial. Which has resulted in an avalanche of diverse faiths warring with each other. To circumvent this and present the true nature of God the thesis provides adequate literature. God is the supreme Self, a Sakshi, a detached Witness of activities of the body, mind and intellect. A role in beings which fits in with that of petrol in vehicles. Petrol is a sakshi which activates vehicles while witnessing the best or worst of their performances.

The Enlightenment is one of the formative periods of Western history, yet more than 300 years after it began, it remains controversial. It is often seen as the fountainhead of modern values such as human rights, religious toleration, freedom of thought, scientific thought as an exemplary form of reasoning and rationality and evidence-based argument. Others accuse the Enlightenment of putting forward a scientific rationality which ignores the complexity and variety of human beings, propagates shallow atheism and aims to subjugate nature to so-called technical progress.

Postmodernism claims that "modernity", which grew from the Enlightenment to the Industrial Revolution and Marxism, has collapsed. We now live in an endlessly "contemporary" culture, a virtual world of "hyperreality" containing such strange phenomena as post-Holocaust amnesia, Disneyland, cyberspace, and Fukuyama's proclaimed "end of history".

En este necesario y perspicaz ensayo, Carlos Peña se hace cargo críticamente del menos precio del que, de un tiempo a esta parte, es objeto la filosofía. En base a acusaciones de despilfarro e inutilidad, ha sido progresivamente desplazada de los planes educativos en pro de una enseñanza enfocada en lo técnico y lo útil. Es por eso que el autor se pregunta si efectivamente la enseñanza de la filosofía carece hoy de justificación y sentido.
