The Age Of Reason

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "Thomas Paine's "The Age of Reason" is a thought-provoking work that both defends Deism and challenges the world's major monotheistic religions. Let's delve into its fascinating aspects: Overview: "The Age of Reason" is a book by English and American political activist Thomas Paine. It argues for the philosophical position of deism, which emphasizes reason, natural religion, and skepticism toward institutionalized religion. The book was published in three parts: in 1794, 1795, and 1807. While it became a best-seller in the United States, British audiences received it with more hostility due to fears of increased political radicalism after the French Revolution. Key Themes: Deism: Paine's work follows in the tradition of 18th-century British deism. Deists advocated for free rational inquiry, religious toleration, and an end to religious persecution. Natural Law: Deists believed that all things in the universe, including God, must obey the laws of nature. They rejected miraculous accounts and insisted on reason and rationality. Bible Critique: Paine challenges the legitimacy of the Bible, viewing it as an ordinary piece of literature rather than a divinely-inspired text. Appealing Style: By presenting deistic arguments in an engaging and irreverent style, Paine made deism accessible to the masses. "The Age of Reason" remains a significant work that shaped intellectual discourse and inspired free thinkers."

 "Certainly! "Alcibiades I", also known as "First Alcibiades", is a dialogue ascribed to Plato. In this engaging conversation, Socrates interacts with the ambitious young man Alcibiades. Let's explore the essence of this dialogue: Dramatis personae Dramatis Personae: Alcibiades: An ambitious youth eager to enter public life. He boasts of his good looks, noble birth, numerous friends, possessions, and connection to Pericles, the Athenian leader. Socrates: The older philosopher who engages Alcibiades in conversation. Content: Alcibiades seeks Socrates' guidance before presenting himself to the Athenian assembly. Socrates questions Alcibiades about justice, politics, and self-knowledge. Alcibiades admits his ignorance and learns that expediency cannot exist without justice. Socrates reminds him that true rivals are the kings of Sparta and Persia, emphasizing their education, might, and wealth. They discuss contradictions in Alcibiades' thoughts and the Delphic maxim: "Know thyself." The ruling principle of man, they conclude, lies not in the body but in the soul. By the end of "Alcibiades I", Alcibiades accepts Socrates as his mentor. This dialogue invites us to explore the interplay of ambition, knowledge, and self-awareness. "

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "Alarms and Discursions" is a collection of essays by the brilliant English writer G. K. Chesterton. Let's explore some of the intriguing pieces within this work: Introductory: On Gargoyles: Chesterton begins with a contemplation of a gargoyle—one of those grotesque stone figures that adorned the water-spouts in medieval cathedrals. He reflects on the meaning of the grotesque and embarks on a symbolic reverie about the three great stages of art. The essay takes us on a journey through the ages, exploring the transition from innocence to sophistication, from primitive sun-worship to the intricate craftsmanship of cathedrals. The Surrender of a Cockney: Chesterton humorously dissects the transformation of a Cockney (a Londoner) who moves to the countryside. The Cockney's surrender to the charms of rural life leads to delightful observations about human nature. The Nightmare: In this piece, Chesterton delves into the realm of dreams and nightmares. He muses on the significance of nightmares and their connection to our waking lives. The Appetite of Earth: Chesterton explores the insatiable hunger of the earth itself—the way it consumes and renews life. He weaves together themes of nature, desire, and eternity. The Philosophy of Sight-seeing: Chesterton playfully critiques the modern obsession with sight-seeing. He questions whether travelers truly see what they behold or merely collect superficial experiences. These essays are a delightful blend of wit, wisdom, and whimsy, showcasing Chesterton's unique perspective on life, art, and human existence. "

 In this, one of the most influential works of the post-Hegelian era, Feuerbach captures the synthesis that emerges from the dialectical process of a transcending Godhead & the rational & material world. In understanding the true nature of what it means to be fully human, he contends that we come face to face with the essence of Xian theology: human beings investing ordinary concepts with divine meaning & significance. The true danger to humanity occurs when theology is given the force of dogma & doctrine. Losing sight of its anthropological underpinnings & dependence upon or emergence from human nature, it then acquires an existence separate from that of humankind. He leaves nothing untouched: miracles, the Trinity, Creation, prayer, resurrection, immortality, faith & much more.

Improbability Principle - Why Coincidences, Miracles, And Rare Events Happen Every Day

de David J. Hand

22,07€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Improbability Principle, the renowned statistician David J. Hand argues that extraordinarily rare events are anything but. In fact, they''re commonplace. Not only that, we should all expect to experience a miracle roughly once every month. But Hand is no believer in superstitions, prophecies, or the paranormal. His definition of "miracle" is thoroughly rational. No mystical or supernatural explanation is necessary to understand why someone is lucky enough to win the lottery twice, or is destined to be hit by lightning three times and still survive. All we need, Hand argues, is a firm grounding in a powerful set of laws: the laws of inevitability, of truly large numbers, of selection, of the probability lever, and of near enough. Together, these constitute Hand''s groundbreaking Improbability Principle. And together, they explain why we should not be so surprised to bump into a friend in a foreign country, or to come across the same unfamiliar word four times in one day. Hand wrestles with seemingly less explicable questions as well: what the Bible and Shakespeare have in common, why financial crashes are par for the course, and why lightning does strike the same place (and the same person) twice. Along the way, he teaches us how to use the Improbability Principle in our own lives—including how to cash in at a casino and how to recognize when a medicine is truly effective. An irresistible adventure into the laws behind "chance" moments and a trusty guide for understanding the world and universe we live in, The Improbability Principle will transform how you think about serendipity and luck, whether it''s in the world of business and finance or you''re merely sitting in your backyard, tossing a ball into the air and wondering where it will land.

With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own 'will to power' upon the world.

Golden Ratio - The Story Of Phi, The World''S Most Astonishing Number

de Mario Livio

47,47€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Throughout history, thinkers from mathematicians to theologians have pondered the mysterious relationship between numbers and the nature of reality. In this fascinating book, Mario Livio tells the tale of a number at the heart of that mystery: phi, or 1.6180339887.... This curious mathematical relationship, widely known as "The Golden Ratio," was discovered by Euclid more than two thousand years ago because of its crucial role in the construction of the pentagram, to which magical properties had been attributed. Since then it has shown a propensity to appear in the most astonishing variety of places, from mollusk shells, sunflower florets, and rose petals to the shape of the galaxy. Psychological studies have investigated whether the Golden Ratio is the most aesthetically pleasing proportion extant, and it has been asserted that the creators of the Pyramids and the Parthenon employed it. It is believed to feature in works of art from Leonardo da Vinci''s Mona Lisa to Salvador Dali''s The Sacrament of the Last Supper, and poets and composers have used it in their works. It has even been found to be connected to the behavior of the stock market!The Golden Ratio is a captivating journey through art and architecture, botany and biology, physics and mathematics. It tells the human story of numerous phi-fixated individuals, including the followers of Pythagoras who believed that this proportion revealed the hand of God; astronomer Johannes Kepler, who saw phi as the greatest treasure of geometry; such Renaissance thinkers as mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa; and such masters of the modern world as Goethe, Cezanne, Bartok, and physicist Roger Penrose. Wherever his quest for the meaning of phi takes him, Mario Livio reveals the world as a place where order, beauty, and eternal mystery will always coexist.

Or, to be precise, what happens when maths goes wrong in the real world. As Matt Parker shows us, our modern lives are built on maths: computer programmes, finance, engineering. And most of the time this maths works quietly behind the scenes, until ... it doesn''t. Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near-misses and mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman empire and a hapless Olympic shooting team, Matt Parker shows us the bizarre ways maths trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Mathematics doesn''t have good ''people skills'', but we would all be better off, he argues, if we saw it as a practical ally. This book shows how, by making maths our friend, we can learn from its pitfalls. It also contains puzzles, challenges, geometric socks, jokes about binary code and three deliberate mistakes.

 Why Political Science Classics Collection is so important? In today's world, providing quality training for the younger generation at colleges and universities is of primary importance. But higher education is not enough. Any graduate is first and foremost a citizen of his nation. He has the right to be an actor in the political life of his society. The political changes taking place today in the modern world are dependent on the civic stance of each person. In this way, a serious challenge facing the world system of higher education is to educate citizens who are capable of navigating and influencing the modern political processes in his country. Youth today actively participate in campaigns carried out by political parties and community organizations. However, it is impossible to develop conditions which foster a civic position without the existence of a political culture. In today's global community, facing growing pressures of political extremism and radicalism, knowledge of basic political science principles should help students develop a democratic ethos and foster qualities, such as political tolerance, compromise, and cooperation, while learning to express and defend their interests in a civilized manner. The foundation of political science lies in the accumulated knowledge of mankind. This collection was compiled as an aid to college and university students. Each included piece is required reading at some of the best universities on the planet including: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Columbia Universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, among others. This collection includes works famous authors: The Art of War by Sun Tzu Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu The Republic by Plato Meditations by Marcus Aurelius The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli Utopia by Thomas More Common Sense by Thomas Paine Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels The State and Revolution by Vladimir lenin
