In this deeply entertaining book, philosopher and baseball fan Alva Noë explores the many unexpected ways in which baseball is truly a philosophical kind of game. For example, he ponders how observers of baseball are less interested in what happens, than in who is responsible for what happens; every action receives praise or blame.

Do scientists speak truth to power? During the Cold War, a group of American strategists and science advisors claimed to do precisely that. Styling themselves as figures of rationality and restraint, they insisted that mutual assured destruction was the natural logic of the atomic age: as long as nuclear deterrence was credible, no one would ever shoot first.

But in this counterhistory, Benjamin Wilson shows that we have misunderstood them and their efforts.

OM C. Parkin führt in den weiten Raum innerer Stille. "Es ist dieses Innerste, das Bewusstsein selbst, welches die Welt absorbiert, transzendiert – anstrengungslos. Es ist nichts einfacher, als loszulassen und einzukehren in dich selbst. Du kennst diesen Ort, er ist dir nicht fremd, er ist dein Zuhause. Es ist deine Seele, die dein Zuhause ist.

From the moment of creation to the emergence of a planet tailor-made for life, science tells a sacred story: a superintelligent Creator used His mathematical genius to convert lifeless equations into galaxies, planets, and people. His love has been visible throughout the process. Could our journey reflect thousands of random accidents with no divine guidance? Creation delivered impulses that filled the universe with galaxies and stars. Eliminate any one of those blueprints and the universe would have been stillborn.
