In his autobiography, David Hume declared unequivocally that this work, An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (1751) is "of all my writings, historical, philosophical, or literary, incomparably the best." In it, Hume takes the discussion away from traditional attitudes where either rational or metaphysical issues govern moral principles. Instead, he introduces the human factor, introducing the sentiments and passions inherent in human psychology.

Im vierten Teil seiner "Geschichte der abendländischen Philosophie" führt August Messer in bündiger und verständlicher Art und Weise in die Philosophien von Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling und Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel ein - also in die Gedankenwelten jener Philosophen, die seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts als "Deutscher Idealismus" in einen Zusammenhang zueinander gebracht werden, welcher der Eigenständigkeit ihrer philosophischen Systeme nicht in jedem Falle gerecht wird.

Mit den Mädchen hat es die Natur auf Das, was man im dramaturgischen Sinne, einen Knalleffekt nennt, abgesehen, indem sie dieselben, auf wenige Jahre, mit überreichlicher Schönheit, Reiz und Fülle ausstattet, auf Kosten ihrer ganzen übrigen Lebenszeit, damit sie nämlich, während jener Jahre, der Phantasie eines Mannes sich in dem Maße bemächtigen könnten, dass er hingerissen wird, die Sorge für sie auf Zeit Lebens, in irgend einer Form, ehrlich zu übernehmen; zu welchem Schritte ihn zu vermögen, die bloße vernünftige Überlegung keine hinlänglich sichere Bürgschaft zu geben schien.

Die Philosophie des Stoizismus ist inzwischen Jahrtausende alt, doch im stressigen digitalen Zeitalter so aktuell wie nie zuvor!

Esta obra reúne dois dos mais brilhantes diálogos de Platão, notável discípulo de Sócrates, mentor de Aristóteles e um dos mais abrangentes e influentes escritores da história da filosofia. O Banquete apresenta uma discussão entre alguns dos cérebros filósofos da antiguidade sobre o amo (Eros), com destaque para as sábias palavras de Sócrates. Em Apologia de Sócrates, Platão traz o registro de uma das defesas mais majestosas da História, na qual seu mestre foi julgado e condenado à morte sob a acusação de subverter a juventude em Atenas.

Darf ich ein Kunstwerk bewundern, obwohl der Künstler ein schlechter Mensch war? Wie viel Geld sollte ich an Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen spenden? Warum sollte ich meinem Gegenüber nicht grundlos ins Gesicht schlagen? Die Welt wird immer komplexer, die moralisch richtigen Entscheidungen zu treffen immer schwieriger. Wie kann es im 21. Jahrhundert dennoch gelingen, ein guter Mensch zu sein? Mit viel Humor und Tiefgang liefert Sitcom-Genie Michael Schur Antworten.

Gut zu sein in einem tieferen Sinn ist die beste Therapie gegen innere Leere, Antriebslosigkeit und Depression. Es hält jung und gesund. Andersherum rächen sich böse Taten nicht erst im nächsten Leben, sondern bereits in diesem. Faszinierende neue Studien aus der Medizin und der Biologie belegen das. Doch wie erschließen wir diese Kraftquelle für uns? Wie werden wir zu den guten Menschen, für die wir uns vielleicht schon halten? Und was heißt es eigentlich, gut zu sein?

In On Disinformation, Lee McIntyre shows how the war on facts began, and how ordinary citizens can fight back against the scourge of disinformation that is now threatening the very fabric of our society.

Awkwardness discusses how we ostracize and punish those who fail to fit into existing social categories, how we all depend on-and are limited by-social scripts and norms for guidance, and how these norms frequently let us down when we need them.
