Showing results for "Live" in Philosophy

The now-classic Metaphors We Live By changed our understanding of metaphor and its role in language and the mind. Metaphor, authors George Lakoff and Mark Johnson explain, is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are "metaphors we live by"—metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them.

Die Lehrerin, die Noten nicht zur Ermutigung vergeben kann, die Ärztin, die Bildschirme statt Patienten behandelt, der Schiri, dessen Augenmaß vom VAR verdrängt wird: Unmerklich verändert sich in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft der Charakter unseres Handelns. Insbesondere im Berufsleben, aber zunehmend auch in der Freizeit zeichnen uns Richtlinien und Formulare, Algorithmen und Apps die Wege zur Entscheidungsfindung minutiös vor. An die Stelle situationssensiblen Überlegens und Urteilens tritt die konstellationsbasierte Vollzugslogik der Maschinen, mit denen wir tagein, tagaus hantieren.

Joseph Campbell famously compared mythology to a kangaroo pouch for the human mind and spirit: “a womb with a view.” In Myths to Live By, he examines all of the ways in which myth supports and guides us, giving our lives meaning. Love and war, science and religion, East and West, inner space and outer space - Campbell shows how the myths we live by can reconcile all of these pairs of opposites and bring a sense of the whole.

In this witty and mischievous book, philosopher Peter Cave dissects the most controversial disputes today and uses philosophical argument to reveal that many issues are less straightforward than we'd like to believe. Leaving no sacred cow standing, Cave uses ingenious stories and examples to challenge our most strongly held assumptions. Is democracy inherently a good thing?

Myths, as Mary Midgley argues in this powerful audiobook, are everywhere. In political thought they sit at the heart of theories of human nature and the social contract; in economics in the pursuit of self interest; and in science the idea of human beings as machines, which originates in the 17th century, is a today a potent force. Far from being the opposite of science, however, Midgley argues that myth is a central part of it. Myths are neither lies nor mere stories, but a network of powerful symbols for interpreting the world.
