New Thought Philosophy

The tradition of ancient philosophy is a long, rich, and varied one, in which a constant note is that of discussion and argument. This book introduces listeners to some ancient debates to engage with the ancient developments of some themes. Getting away from the presentation of ancient philosophy as a succession of Great Thinkers, the book gives listeners a sense of the freshness and liveliness of ancient philosophy and of its wide variety of themes and styles. 

"Time is that in which we live - it is horizontal. It is from A to B to C to D; it is in a line. Eternity is vertical. It is not from A to B and from B to C. It is from A to more A to still more A. It goes on upwards. The moment is rare because it happens only when meditation has reached ripening, maturity, when you have touched your innermost core." The vertical line opens a door to eternity.

Already a classic, this landmark study of early Western thought now appears in a new edition with expanded coverage of the Middle Ages. In The Dream of Reason, Anthony Gottlieb looks afresh at the writings of the great thinkers, questions much of conventional wisdom, and explains his findings...

Due saggi di Steiner sulla teoria della conoscenza: il primo sostiene e spiega la teoria della conoscenza di Goethe, il secondo approfondisce la teoria della conoscenza di Kant e di Fichte, per dimostrarne il vizio dovuto a presupposti, e portarsi ad un gradino più avanzato, che è preliminare alla vera e propria filosofia di Steiner: la filosofia della libertà.

Before he became a counterculture hero, Alan Watts was known as an incisive scholar of Eastern and Western psychology and philosophy. In this 1961 classic, Watts demonstrates his deep understanding of both Western psychotherapy and the Eastern spiritual philosophies of Buddhism, Taoism, Vedanta...

In questo scritto, del 1913, vengono date in forma riassunta descrizioni di quelle parti del mondo e dell'essere umano che compaiono alla coscienza chiaroveggente. È certamente uno scritto molto meno approfondito dei due, "Teosofia" e "Scienza Occulta", che l'hanno preceduto, ma è, come tutti gli scritti di Steiner, leggibile per sé, senza aver letto i precedenti, ed è decisamente molto fruibile per la sua concisione e chiarezza.

In Beyond Biocentrism, acclaimed biologist Robert Lanza and astronomer Bob Berman take the listener on an intellectual thrill ride as they reexamine everything we thought we knew about life, death, the universe, and the nature of reality itself. The first step is acknowledging that our existing model of reality is looking increasingly creaky in the face of recent scientific discoveries.

The co-editors of Gnosis magazine explore the many esoteric traditions that Western culture has to offer. While terms from Eastern spiritual practices such as Zen, mantra, and karma have become part of our daily lexicon, the traditions of Western spirituality have been largely unexplored by people searching for non-mainstream routes to spiritual experience. But for those who identify with Western culture, Western religious traditions have their own wisdom teachings that are more suitable to their needs and expectations.

في شهر يونيو عام 1879، كان الفيلسوف والعالم الأمريكي "تشارلز ساندرز بِرس" على متن باخرة في رحلة من ولاية بوسطن إلى نيويورك عندما سُرقت ساعته الذهبية من مقصورته.1 أبلغ "بِرس" عن السرقة، وأصر على أن يصطف كل فرد من أفراد طاقم السفينة على سطحها، وحقق معهم جميعًا، لكنه لم يتوصل إلى شيء، وسرعان ما صدر عنه تصرف غريب بعد أن تمشَّى قليلًا، حيث قرر أن يخمن هوية السارق، على الرغم من أنه لم يمتلك أي دليل حقيقي يتكئ عليه، وهو أشبه بشخص يخاطر بكل ما يملك، وهو يعلم أن هذه المخاطرة حتمًا ستفشل، وبمجرد قيامه بهذا التخمين وجد نفسه مقتنعًا اقتناعًا تامًّا بهوية السارق.

In this short treatise, James Allen examines those spiritual qualities that are traditionally associated with the heart: love, compassion, gentleness, good will, and patience. In the words of the author: "He who aspires to the attainment of the Higher Life in its completion - who would perceive with unveiled vision the true order of things and the meaning of life - let him abandon all the wrong conditions of the heart, and persevere unceasingly in the practice of good."

Thomas Troward (1847-1916) was the founder of a syncretic metaphysical system, which he called Mental Science. He claimed that his philosophy was supported by the Bible, which he quoted copiously in his various books. In this pamphlet, published while the First World War was raging, Troward sought to demonstrate that the prophetic utterances in the Bible indicated that his readers were living in the End Times. However, Troward claimed that this apocalyptic period was not the end of the world, but the end of an age.

Whitehead presented these three lectures at Princeton University in 1929. Although 85 years have passed, his central thesis and his analysis remain remarkably current. The scientific materialism that Whitehead opposed with such vigor continues to dominate in academic circles, and even now those who question that worldview are often accused of being antiscientific. This is especially true in discussions of the nature of the human mind and its relation to the body (particularly the brain).
