Showing results for "No!" in Philosophy

In this groundbreaking audiobook, neuropsychology professor Chris Niebauer explains how after decades of research on the brain, Western science may have inadvertently confirmed a fundamental tenet of Buddhism: anatta, or the doctrine of "no self". Niebauer shows how findings in neuropsychology suggest that our sense of self is actually an illusion created by the left side of the brain and that it exists in the same way a mirage in the middle of the desert exists: as a thought rather than a thing.

AnamThubten, in remarkably easy-to-understand language, provides teachings for doing exactly that, based on the wisdom of the Buddhist traditions. He illuminates the path of going beyond the misconceptions of the ego to experience the reality of our true nature, which is already enlightened. He communicates with clarity, humor, and refreshing honesty, lighting the way to a life full of love, compassion, and true satisfaction.

'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

Molti uomini sono soggetti a pesanti condizionamenti sociali, e il primo e forse più pesante di tutti è quello che li illude di essere fuori da ogni condizionamento, liberi di agire e di decidere grazie al loro libero arbitrio. Nel sistema educativo occidentale già ai bambini viene raccontato che nella vita possono fare tutto, essere ciò che vogliono, a patto di ‘credere nei propri sogni’, o espressioni simili dal tipico valore di luogo comune.

In LIFE AS NO ONE KNOWS IT, physicist and astrobiologist Sara Imari Walker argues that solving the origin of life requires radical new thinking and an experimentally testable theory for what life is. This is an urgent issue for efforts to make life from scratch in laboratories here on Earth and missions searching for life on other planets. Walker proposes a new paradigm for understanding what physics encompasses and what we recognize as life.

The Narrow Road to the Interior and Hojoki are two of the best-loved works of their kind; famous for their beautiful, delicate verse and subtle insight into the human condition. It has been said of The Narrow Road that 'it was as if the very soul of Japan had itself written it'. It takes the form of a travel diary, and traces the poet's journey from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to the northern interior.

In Anton Chekhovs haunting novella, the line between sanity and madness becomes increasingly blurred. Dr. Rabin, a disillusioned idealist, runs a provincial lunatic asylum, where he grapples with dubious policies while overseeing a diverse group of patients—each representing a fragment of Russian society. As he engages in profound dialogues with both staff and patients, Dr. Rabin embarks on a quest for meaning in a life that seems to unravel before him. The story poignantly critiques the dehumanization of those deemed lunatics and serves as a powerful parable about the essence of human ...

Hojoki is an introspective poem written in the 13th century by the enigmatic Japanese hermit Kamo no Chomei, who as a young man served in the capital as official court poet, but later in life withdrew from society.

El catorce de agosto de 2023 será una fecha que quedará grabada, para siempre, en la vida de Francesc Torralba. Es el último día de la vida de su hijo Oriol, quien murió haciendo una excursión por la montaña. El proceso del duelo es un camino tortuoso y con muchos vaivenes que nos pone ante lo único insalvable: la muerte. No hay palabras es la obra de la vida del autor, por tema personal, pero también porque es un replanteamiento desde una perspectiva totalmente novedosa de un tema que él ya había tratado, cómo era la pérdida de un ser querido.

Quem somos? De onde viemos? Para onde vamos? Perguntas manjadas, é verdade. Mas quem nunca pensou nisso pelo menos uma vez na vida? O questionamento sobre nossa existência, origem e destino tem sido tema de profunda reflexão dos maiores pensadores da humanidade ao longo de três mil anos e, mais recentemente, dos cientistas. As perguntas são as mesmas desde que o homem começou a pensar. As respostas não. Muito pelo contrário.

In this blistering, irreverent and very funny first book of non-fiction, Lauren Oyler - one of the most trenchant, influential, and revelatory critics of her generation - takes on the bizarre particularities of our present moment in a series of interconnected essays about literature, the attention economy, gossip, the role of criticism and her own relentless, teeth-grinding anxiety. No Judgement excavates the layers of psychology and meaning in how we communicate, tell stories and make critical judgements - to offer dazzling insights into how we live and think today.
