In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, first published in 1690, John Locke (1632-1704) provides a complete account of how we acquire everyday, mathematical, natural scientific, religious and ethical knowledge. Rejecting the theory that some knowledge is innate in us, Locke argues that it derives from sense perceptions and experience, as analysed and developed by reason. While defending these central claims with vigorous common sense, Locke offers many incidental - and highly influential - reflections on space and time, meaning, free will and personal identity.

Gli aforismi su "La saggezza della vita di Arthur Schopenhauer" costituiscono un classico della letteratura di uno dei maggiori moralisti di tutti i tempi. L'opera indica una via che dovrebbe consentirci di vivere più serenamente o il meno infelicemente possibile. "Bastare a se stesso, esser per se stesso tutto in tutto, e poter dire: "Omnia mea mecum porto" (porto con me tutte le cose mie), ecco certamente la condizione più favorevole per la nostra felicità". Arthur Schopenhauer è stato un filosofo tedesco, cittadino espatriato del regno di Prussia.

100 million eligible US voters never went to the polls in 2016. In this book, Christopher Freiman explains why these 100 million need not feel guilty. Why It’s OK to Ignore Politics argues that you’re under no obligation to be politically active. Freiman addresses new objections to political abstention as well as some old chestnuts ("But what if everyone stopped voting?"). He also synthesises recent empirical work showing how our political motivations distort our choices and reasoning. 

Most of us experience the world through competing perspectives. A job or a religion seems important and fulfilling when looked at in one way, but from a different angle they seem tedious or ridiculous. A friend is obtuse from one point of view, wise from another. Continuing to hold both views at once can be unsettling, highlighting conflicts between our own judgments and values and undermining our ability to live purposefully and effectively. Yet, as Jennifer Church argues in this book, inner conflict can be a good thing and not just as a temporary road bump on the road to resolution.
