All About Love - New Visions

 A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.

Neuroaesthetics - Can Science Explain Art?

by Marco Pina, Olga Pombo e Silvia Di Marco

22,00€ + 10% CARD

receive tomorrow -

free shipping

 Por que razão criam os homens obras de arte? Por que razão a beleza nos comove? A Neuroestética é uma área de investigação recente que tenta responder a estas questões, a partir do quadro teórico da Neurologia. Ela explora as bases neurofisiológicas e evolutivas da experiência estética, no que diz respeito à produção e fruição das obras de arte e da beleza. Nesse sentido, oferece um lugar de encontro privilegiado e peculiar entre a Ciência e a Arte. Geralmente acusada de reducionismo, a Neuroestética é um campo de investigação controverso que desafia a nossa concepção de Arte enquanto uma das formas mais sublimes da criatividade humana. Este livro oferece uma introdução crítica à Neuroestética e pretende contribuir para o debate actual sobre o valor filosófico e epistemológico desta disciplina e sobre a sua relevância para a compreensão da experiência estética. Nele se incluem três artigos fundadores, escritos por eminentes neurocientistas, e cinco trabalhos originais que foram apresentados num workshop internacional sobre Neuroestética, organizado, em Março de 2009, pelo Centro de Filosofia das Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa.

Educação Sociedade & Culturas 59 - Tecnologias digitais e educação escolar em contexto de pandemia (Covid-19)

14,00€ + 10% CARD

receive tomorrow

 A pandemia Covid-19, e a consequente exigência de isolamento social, causou efeitos avassaladores em todo o mundo e em todas as áreas da sociedade. No campo da educação, de acordo com relatórios da UNESCO (2020), mais de 1,5 bilhões de estudantes foram afetados/as pelo encerramento de escolas e universidades. Foi a maior interrupção na história da educação escolar (Engzell et al., 2020) e o recurso às tecnologias digitais tornou-se essencial para enfrentar as emergências da pandemia. Contudo, este número também contribui para, em coletivo, podermos fazer o que Cynthia Selin (2008) considera ser a produção de conhecimento antecipatório, prestando atenção ao modo como socialmente lidamos com acontecimentos disruptivos e de incerteza, mas sobretudo como nos podemos tornar cada vez mais capazes de contruir de forma colaborativa cenários futuros. Será este, talvez, um dos grandes estímulos deste número, o de como nos responsabilizamos pelo futuro possível para as próximas gerações, influenciando também as próprias respostas sociotécnicas.

The First Global Village - How Portugal Changed the World

by Martin Page

20,90€ + 10% CARD

receive tomorrow -

free shipping

 "Portugal is Europe’s south-western extremity, washed by the Atlantic, and warmed by the Mediterranean sun. Alone among Iberia’s ancient kingdoms in its independence from Spain, it is a nation about half the size of Florida, with two-thirds the population. Yet, over centuries, it has influenced the lives of the rest of us far more than many much larger and more powerful countries. The Portuguese gave the English afternoon tea, and Bombay the key to empire. They brought to Africa protection from Malaria, and slave-shipments to America; to India, higher education, curry, and samosas; to Japan, tempura and firearms. Portugal entered the 21st century as the first European nation to have freed itself from communism, returned to democracy, and set about rebuilding itself as a vital part of the new Europe."

Thus Spoke Zarathustra

by Friedrich Nietzsche

14,86€ + 10% CARD

 Friedrich Nietzsche’s most accessible and influential philosophical work, misquoted, misrepresented, brilliantly original and enormously influential Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche’s utterance ‘God is dead’, his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic and free. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
