Philosophy is the study of problems concerning matters as fundamental as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Pythagoras (c. 570–495 BC) is said to have coined the term. Philosophical methods were applied through questioning, critical discussion, rational arguments, and systematic presentations on questions like "Is it possible to know anything and to prove it?" Major areas in academic philosophy include metaphysics, epistemology,...

You can't possibly scent him at this distance. Not even a dog could. For a Christian he is rather well washed. Democritus. Before you contradict an old man, my fair friend, you should endeavour to understand him. The Stranger might be as clean as a river-god,...

In the design of this book three primary themes interlace and pursue and develop each other.There is first, that invention and science have completely altered the material environment ofhuman life. Next, that the disruptive driving force of an excess of bored and unemployed young men., which must in some manner find relief, will probably shatter human life altogether under the new conditions. And thirdly, that the existing mental organisation of our...

The idea of brotherhood has been an important philosophical concept for understanding community, equality, and justice. In Gendering Modern Jewish Thought, Andrea Dara Cooper offers a gendered reading that challenges the key figures of the all-male fraternity of twentieth-century Jewish philosophy to open up to the feminine.
Cooper offers a feminist lens, which when applied to thinkers such as Franz Rosenzweig and Emmanuel Levinas, reveals new ways...

Im Haus des Herrn
Tröster der Beraubten, keine Regung entflieht deinen Augen
In die Geheimnisse unwegsamer Herzen vermagst du zu schauen
Ja, wie Regenperlen, die sich im Bauch des Gewölkes stauen
Und bei Wolkenbruch in der windgepeitschten Luft niederbrausen
So auch sind von Weisheitszier voll deine Himmels Auen
Woraus du schöpfst, um den zu tränken mit Seel'nglauben
Allwährender, was kann der Rat des Menschen vor dir taugen?

Esta obra es un análisis, una búsqueda por los sentidos más profundos de las afirmaciones de Byung-Chul Han, con toques críticos, que le otorgan al libro un valor propio, autónomo si se quiere, en relación con los textos del filósofo coreano.
Para llegar a ese nivel de análisis crítico, el autor hace gala de su rigor conceptual y del dominio de las fuentes (primarias y secundarias). Lo anterior da cuenta de un excelente lector, que va más...

Jacques Derrida's final seminars were devoted to animal life and political sovereignty-the connection being that animals slavishly adhere to the law while kings and gods tower above it and that this relationship reveals much about humanity in the West. David Farrell Krell offers a detailed account of these seminars, placing them in the context of Derrida's late work and his critique of Heidegger. Krell focuses his discussion on questions such as death,...

Of course, our worlds are based on assumptions that for one reason or another, we choose to believe and call facts.

Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is rapidly becoming recognized as the greatest American philosopher. At the center of his philosophy was a revolutionary model of the way human beings think. Peirce, a logician, challenged traditional models by describing thoughts not as "ideas" but as "signs," external to the self and without meaning unless interpreted by a subsequent thought. His general theory of signs -- or semiotic -- is especially pertinent...

La imagen es un campo problemático en el que conviven percepciones, emociones e ideas. La imagen es a la vez soporte técnico-material y forma expresiva simbólica, y a través de ella podemos trazar universos de sentido que comunican y transfieren diversas temporalidades del devenir humano. Por ello, la imagen exige aproximaciones interdisciplinarias, desde las cuales establecer diálogos y alianzas conceptuales. No es lo mismo la imagen pictórica...
