The work brings together two opposing schools of philosophy - rationalism and empiricism - and proposes a third way, which came to be known as transcendental idealism.Critique of Pure Reason proved to be hugely influential, not least on Marx, Heidegger and Nietzsche.

Christian Atheism - How To Be A Real Materialist

de Slavoj Žižek; Narrado por: Joe Jameson

~~21,99€~~ 19,79€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 If we want to be true atheists, do we have to begin with a religious edifice and undermine it from within? Slavoj Žižek has long been a commentator on, and critic of, Christian theology. His preoccupation with Badiou's concept of 'the event' alongside the Pauline thought of the New Testament has led to a decidedly theological turn in his thinking. Drawing on traditions and subjects as broad as Buddhist thought, dialectical materialism, political subjectivity, quantum physics, AI and chatbots, this book articulates Žižek's idea of a religious life for the first time. Christian Atheism is a unique insight into Žižek's theological project and the first book-length exploration of his religious thinking. In his own words, "to become a true dialectical materialist, one should go through the Christian experience." Crucial to his whole conception of 'experience' is not some kind of spiritual revelation but rather the logic of materialistic thought. This affirmation of Christian theology whilst simultaneously deconstructing it is a familiar Žižekian move, but one that holds deep-seated political, philosophical and, in the end, personal import for him. Here is Žižek's most extensive treatment of theology and religion to date.

Who'S Afraid Of Gender?

de Judith Butler

~~12,89€~~ 11,60€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Brought to you by Penguin. From a global icon, a bold, essential account of how a fear of gender is fuelling reactionary politics around the world Judith Butler, the ground-breaking philosopher whose influential work has redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on gender that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed "anti-gender ideology movements" dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous threat to families, local cultures, civilization --and even "man" himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to abolish reproductive justice, undermine protections against violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights. But what, exactly, is so scary about gender? In this vital, courageous book, Butler carefully examines how "gender" has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, and transexclusionary feminists. They illuminate the concrete ways that this phantasm displaces anxieties and fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of critical race theory and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality, fuels aggressive nationalism, and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation. An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, Who''s Afraid of Gender? is a bold call to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom and solidarity, Butler offers us an essentially hopeful work that is both timely and timeless. ©2024 Judith Butler (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Beelzebubs Tales To His Grandson - First Book

de G.I. Gurdjieff; Narrado por: Wolfgang Schrader

~~12,99€~~ 11,69€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson is the first book of G. I. Gurdjieff's monumental trilogy All and Everything. Conceived as both a cosmological epic and a profound work of inner instruction, the book presents its teachings through an unusual narrative framework that deliberately challenges the reader's habitual modes of perception and understanding. The story is framed as a series of conversations between Beelzebub — a high-ranking cosmic being exiled from the Solar System — and his beloved grandson Hassein. During a long interstellar journey aboard the spacecraft Karnak, Beelzebub recounts the history of the universe, the laws governing cosmic processes, and, above all, the tragic and peculiar condition of humanity on the planet Earth. Through this fictional yet rigorously structured device, Gurdjieff seeks to bypass conventional philosophical exposition. Instead of offering teachings directly, he embeds them in myth, satire, scientific speculation, and moral commentary, compelling the listener to engage actively with the material rather than passively absorb it. At the cosmic level, Beelzebub explains the fundamental laws of the universe — especially the Law of Three and the Law of Seven — which govern all processes, from the creation of galaxies to the functioning of the human psyche. These laws provide a unifying framework linking physics, metaphysics, biology, and psychology, presenting the cosmos as an ordered but fragile system, maintained through conscious participation rather than mechanical causality alone. A central theme of the book is the degeneration of humanity. Beelzebub describes how early humans once possessed a harmonious relationship between thinking, feeling, and bodily instinct, enabling conscious evolution. This balance, however, was gradually lost due to a series of cosmic misunderstandings, catastrophic events, and—most critically—the implantation of artificial psychological mechanisms that distorted human perception and behavior.

Fools, Frauds And Firebrands - Thinkers Of The New Left

de Roger Scruton; Narrado por: Kris Dyer e Roger Scruton

~~21,99€~~ 19,79€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Bloomsbury presents Fools, Frauds and Firebrands: Thinkers of the New Left by Roger Scruton, read by Kris Dyer A devastating critique of New Left thinking. In Fools, Frauds and Firebrands, Roger Scruton first surveys and then deconstructs the golden idols of left wing thought from the 1960s to the present day. He dissects the hollow works of Hobsbawm and E. P. Thompson, Galbraith and Dworkin, Sartre and Foucault and exposes the lack of coherence in the works of Althusser, Lacan, Deleuze, Badiou and Žižek. Scruton ponders why the humanities have become so unambiguously aligned to the left, and reveals how fully such thinking has seized the academy in its grasp. In this provocative, compelling and highly entertaining book he explains why empty rhetoric abounds over careful analysis and blatant nonsense over respectable logic, in a shattering demolition of some of today's most fashionable philosophers.

The Code Of The Warrior - Exploring Warrior Values Past And Present

de Shannon E. French; Narrado por: Patricia Rodríguez

~~26,99€~~ 24,29€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Bloomsbury presents The Code of the Warrior: Exploring Warrior Values Past and Present by Shannon E. French, read by Patricia Rodriguez. Combining ethics, history, and psychology, this book examines historical and contemporary warrior cultures, arguing that today's warriors need a code to navigate the moral line between soldier and killer. Exploring the roots of military ethics, this third edition furthers author Shannon French's argument that modern troops need a code to shield their humanity as they endure the horrors of war, including updated first and last chapters addressing the need for warrior codes throughout history and in today's military climate. Stories of ancient Greek and Roman soldiers, Chinese warrior monks, Vikings, Celts, Japanese samurai, medieval European knights, Islamic warriors, and Zulu warriors combine with contemporary perspectives on modern day warfare's latest technologies and power structures to present a truly global and timeless case for the exercise of restraint in warfare—primarily for the benefit of those doing the fighting. A new chapter on the famous Zulu warrior Chief Shaka makes the important distinction between a warrior and a strongman. Incorporating philosophy with history, religion, anthropology, sociology, and moral psychology, French addresses concepts which resonate within and beyond military service. She also presents thoughtful answers to complex questions such as: Why should one side of a conflict show restraint if the other side does not? How can a command climate become corrupted? What is the difference between a warrior and a murderer, or a terrorist, or a strongman? How do changes in technology affect the conduct of war? French provides analysis grounded in her own decades of work with and for members of the U.S. military, as well as her extensive, international scholarship in military ethics. It is a must-read book for anyone interested in how wars can be fought ethically and how warriors can be spared the worst moral injury that comes from betraying their own chosen core values.

Difference And Repetition

de Gilles Deleuze; Narrado por: Christopher Ashman

~~29,99€~~ 26,99€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Since its publication in 1968, Difference and Repetition, an exposition of the critique of identity, has come to be considered a contemporary classic in philosophy and one of Gilles Deleuze's most important works. The text follows the development of two central concepts, those of pure difference and complex repetition. It shows how the two concepts are related, difference implying divergence and decentring, repetition being associated with displacement and disguising. The work moves deftly between Hegel, Kierkegaard, Freud, Althusser and Nietzsche to establish a fundamental critique of Western metaphysics, and has been a central text in initiating the shift in French thought - away from Hegel and Marx, towards Nietzsche and Freud.

 Bloomsbury presents Thinking of Answers by A C Grayling, read by Gordon Griffin Thought-provoking short essays by Britain's leading public philosopher that show us how to discover our own answers to life's challenges 'While most philosophy is written in abstruse and ponderous prose, Grayling's is a model of clarity and elegance' The Times 'An enthusiastic thinker who embraces humour, common sense and lucidity' Independent ~ If beauty existed only in the eye of the beholder, would that make it an unimportant quality? ~ Are human rights political? ~ Can ethics be derived from evolution by natural selection? ~ If both sides in a conflict can passionately believe that theirs is the just cause, does this mean that the idea of justice is empty? ~ Does being happy make us good? And does being good make us happy? ~ Are human beings especially prone to self-deception? As in his previous books of popular philosophy, including the best-selling The Reason of Things and The Meaning of Things, rather than presenting a set of categorical answers Grayling offers instead suggestions for how to think about every aspect of a question, and arrive at one's own conclusions. As a result Thinking of Answers is both an enjoyable and inspirational collection.

Spinoza, Atheist

de Steven Nadler; Narrado por: Robert G. Slade

~~29,99€~~ 26,99€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This audiobook narrated by Robert Slade shares a fascinating historical and philosophical account that unravels the mystery of whether Spinoza was an atheist In 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.

Quantum 2.0 - The Past, Present, And Future Of Quantum Physics

de Paul Davies

~~12,89€~~ 11,60€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Brought to you by Penguin. In this exhilarating and sometimes mind-bending book, renowned scientist and author Paul Davies tells the gripping story of how, beginning with an iconic mathematical equation in the 1920s, a radical new theory of nature - quantum mechanics - burst upon the modern world, and how today we are on the cusp of the second great quantum technology revolution.Quantum 2.0 reveals how exotic states of matter that have no counterpart in the everyday world are being harnessed to enable forms of teleportation and 'spooky' telepathic links between remote places. Powerful new tools such as quantum computers, quantum cryptography and the quantum internet have attracted billions of dollars of investments, triggering a frantic quantum arms race. And appearing on the horizon is the most awesome and game-changing prospect of all - quantum AI.Yet underpinning this dazzling promise lies a paradox. Although quantum mechanics is the most successful scientific theory ever, quantum systems possess properties that defy intuition and shred everyday notions of reality. Albert Einstein could never quite believe it. And decades after Erwin Schrodinger introduced his famous cat paradox, scientists are still divided over how to make sense of the weird quantum realm, one where ghostly quantum particles produce tiny forces in nanotechnology, cause black holes to evaporate - and may even be making the universe expand faster and faster. Indeed, cosmologists believe, the imprint of a quantum process remains etched into the afterglow of the big bang.Quantum 2.0 takes the reader gently from the basic concepts to the cutting edge, inviting us all to peek into the new wonderland of quantum physics and glimpse its stunning implications.(c) Paul Davies 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025

 Brought to you by Penguin.Is this the game you want to be playing?Scoring systems are everywhere. Underpinning our daily lives - whether it's the fit bits on our wrists, likes on social media, and even school rankings - they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions, corporations and bureaucracies weaponize scoring systems to impose their own interests. No matter what, we always seem to be playing by someone else's rules.In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how this newly 'gamified' world has fundamentally captured our value systems, turning what might be moral or personal life choices into numerical data, and forcing us to prioritise what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us.A life-long lover of online and board games himself, Nguyen argues that we should not stop playing games but rather take a step back and become more aware of their immersive and profound power, so that we might chart a way towards more creative and joyful lives.

Hegel In A Wired Brain

de Slavoj Žižek; Narrado por: Joe Jameson

~~18,99€~~ 17,09€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Slavoj Žižek gives us a reading of a philosophical giant that changes our way of thinking about our new posthuman era. No ordinary study of Hegel, Hegel in a Wired Brain investigates what he might have had to say about the idea of the 'wired brain' - what happens when a direct link between our mental processes and a digital machine emerges. Žižek explores the phenomenon of a wired brain effect, and what might happen when we can share our thoughts directly with others. He hones in on the key question of how it shapes our experience and status as 'free' individuals and asks what it means to be human when a machine can read our minds. With characteristic verve and enjoyment of the unexpected, Žižek connects Hegel to the world we live in now, shows why he is much more fun than anyone gives him credit for, and why the 21st century might just be Hegelian.
