What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning? These questions today are among the most hotly debated issues among scientists and philosophers. Philosopher David J. Chalmers offers a cogent analysis of this heated debate as he unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain.

In this extraordinary best seller, James Hillman presents a brilliant vision of our selves, and an exciting approach to the mystery at the center of every life that asks, “What is it, in my heart, that I must do, be, and have? And why?” Drawing on the biographies of figures such as Ella Fitzgerald and Mohandas K. Gandhi, Hillman argues that character is fate, that there is more to each individual than can be explained by genetics and environment. The result is a reasoned and powerful road map to understanding our true nature and discovering an eye-opening array of choices.

The story they tell is alternately discouraging and hopeful. Drawing on hundreds of hours of observations and interviews at 30 different schools, Mehta and Fine reveal that deeper learning is more often the exception than the rule.

In this book, Jake Meador diagnoses our society's decline as the failure of a particular story we've told about ourselves: the story of modern liberalism. He shows us how that story has led to our collective loss of meaning, wonder, and good work, and then recovers each of these by grounding them in a different story - a story rooted in the deep tradition of the Christian faith.

Fie că ştim, fie că nu ştim, căutăm cu toţii să ne apropiem de ceea ce Jung numea sine (Selbst) (…) Însemnările din această carte descriu două încercări de atingere a sinelui: una se petrece în universul spiritual al filosofiei, cealaltă, în lumea sufletului subteran dezvăluită de psihanaliză. În ambele am beneficiat de îndrumare. Pentru filosofie, mi-a fost ghid Constantin Noica, pentru actul iniţiatic al coborârii în inconştient, psihologul Eugen Papadima. Demersurile par ireconciliabile.

"Til syvende og sist burde vi mennesker ikke spørre hva meningen med livet er, men heller innse at det er oss selv som blir spurt." Dette er én av konklusjonene som Viktor E. Frankl trekker i logoterapien, som han utviklet på bakgrunn av sine tre år som konsentrasjonsleirfange. Ønsket om å få teoriene sine utbredt gav ham meningen med livet, og gjorde ifølge ham selv at han overlevde de umenneskelige vilkårene. I logoterapien blir viljen til mening framhevet som menneskets viktigste drivkraft, i motsetning til Freuds viljen til lyst og Adlers viljen til makt.
