Showing results for "I" in Philosophy

Martin Buber’s I and Thou has long been acclaimed as a classic. Many prominent writers have acknowledged its influence on their work; students of intellectual history consider it a landmark; and the generation born after World War II considers Buber one of its prophets. Buber’s main proposition is that we may address existence in two ways: (1) that of the “I” toward an “It,” toward an object that is separate in itself, which we either use or experience; (2) that of the “I” toward “Thou,” in which we move into existence in a relationship without bounds.

Nella Città degli uomini sta passando uno tsunami che non farà salva alcuna autorità, alcuna fede, alcuna testimonianza. Attraversando il disordine odierno, in cui vivacchia una società autistica non più rieducabile, saremo facili prede dell'illusione globale e tuffati nel Nuovo Ordine Mondiale. Procederemo costretti in un campo minato: a ogni passo esploderà un limite di sostenibilità, una trappola d'inclusivismo, un indietreggiamento politicamente corretto. Eppure sopra tutto c'è un Ordine delle cose, capace di ricompattarsi alla sintesi di ogni era.

Have you ever wondered…whether God exists? whether life has meaning? Whether pain and suffering have a purpose? This audiobook is my invitation to sit down with C. S. Lewis and me to think about some of the persistent questions and dilemmas every person faces in life. We’ll explore Lewis’s thoughts on everything from friendships to heaven, from the reasons for faith to the power of stories.

This is Buber's landmark work in psychology and philosophy as well as in religion.

"Una comunità fra i vivi e i morti (che diversamente non potrebbe essere creata in modo altrettanto intenso nel nostro attuale ciclo epocale) viene realizzata per il fatto che noi ci riempiamo di pensieri tratti dalla scienza dello spirito e che, tenendo in considerazione il morto, in un certo senso li offriamo a lui". Rudolf Steiner è senza dubbio uno degli esoterismi ottocenteschi più celebri. Vissuto a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento, ha fondato l'antroposofia, dottrina di derivazione teosofica .

Remarkably relevant, beautifully written, and filled with wit and wisdom, these three essays by Bertrand Russell allow the listener to test the concepts of the good life, morality, the existence of God, Christianity, and human nature. "What I Believe" was used prominently in the 1940 New York court proceedings in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at City College of New York. "Why I Am Not a Christian" concludes that churches throughout history have retarded progress and states that we should instead "look to our own efforts here below to make this world a fit place to live in." Finally, "A Free Man's Worship", perhaps the most famous single essay written by Russell, considers whether humans operate from free will.

In "Life is real only then, when I am" Gurdjieff gives answers to the fundamental human questions: how do I really live and what are the requirements to lead a real life? What is reality? What is existence? Has every man a given I or what must he do to acquire a real I? First of all, we have to accept that we are not awake, but asleep. The vast majority of mankind never awakens through its whole life. Only those are given the chance to become awake, who fight for it with their whole hearts and beings.

Daniel C. Dennett, philosopher and cognitive scientist, has spent his career considering consciousness. I've Been Thinking traces the development of Dennett's own intellect and instructs us how we too can become good thinkers. Dennett's restless curiosity leads him from his childhood in Beirut to Harvard, and from Parisian jazz clubs to 'tillosophy' on his tractor in Maine. Along the way, he encounters and debates with a host of legendary thinkers, and reveals the breakthroughs and misjudgments that shaped his paradigm-shifting philosophies.

Il nous invite donc à « philosopher », c'est-à-dire réfléchir calmement à tous les aspects d'une question....

Am I aware of the process of thinking? Can I see that thought is destructive, except where it is essential? Why is it that we don't see something immediately? Do you know when you are thinking? Is the thing that we call thinking thinking at all? Do you think from the background noise when a problem arises? When the mind becomes totally aware of the background, is there thinking when a problem arises? What happens when I am aware of this hum, this noise incessantly going on? Is the background noise different from the observer? How am I to live an everyday life with complete silence?
