What is this strange mental world that seems so essential to being human? The conscious mind brings together sensations, perceptions, thoughts and memories to generate the seamless movie of a person's life. It makes us aware of the world around us and our own self.

As often as we use our senses, we rarely stop to think about their place in history. But perception is not dependent on the body alone. Carolyn Purnell persuasively shows that, while our bodies may not change dramatically, the way we think about the senses and put them to use has been rather different over the ages. Journeying through the past 300 years, Purnell explores how people used their senses in ways that might shock us now.

Within this earth game and beyond there are an infinite number of veils and levels of consciousness. Upon reaching each one, as in a video game, we move on to the next level, and it is often with the assistance of what appears as unseen energies that we progress. Each dimension holds clues to our awakening, but no single dimension holds all clues or answers.

The original treatise introducing rational nondualism. What if Western thought is warped by an illusion so persuasive that it affects almost every aspect of our understanding, including modern science? Scientists look for objective knowledge. But suppose the distinction between the observer and the observed does not exist. This insight—called nondual awareness—is deeply counterintuitive; few grasp its full implications. Yet rational thought points to a nondual world, as articulated in Existential Rationalism. The realization forces us to reexamine the foundations of modern science: ...

Le questioni principali di questo volume - pubblicato nel 1894, quando Steiner ottenne il dottorato di filosofia a Rostock - riguardano il ruolo della filosofia, considerata quale arte, nei riguardi della libertà umana; che cosa sia quest'ultima.

La "filosofia della libertà" è la base filosofica degli scritti posteriori di Steiner . In questo volume si è tentato di mostrare che l'esperienza del pensare, giustamente compresa, è già un'esperienza spirituale.

In this voyage through thousands of years of psychosomatic healing, distinguished anthropologist and sociologist Roger Bartra examines the placebo effect as a key to our understanding of human consciousness.

Human beings are the greatest natural resource on the planet. If it sometimes doesn’t seem that way, it’s because our inherent wealth is hidden under layers of confusion. Much of what we mistake for reality is really a jumble of the tendencies, attitudes, and preconceptions that are part of our individual human baggage. Although we may understand this, we usually believe our thoughts accurately reflect reality. This hidden assumption is a major cause of confusion, which gives rise to conflicts - in our society, in the larger world, and at times within ourselves.

Nicholas Humphrey begins this compelling exploration of the biggest of big questions with a challenge to the reader, and himself. What's involved in "seeing red"? What is it like for us to see someone else seeing something red? Seeing a red screen tells us a fact about something in the world. But it also creates a new fact - a sensation in each of our minds, the feeling of redness.

Oft werden wir im Alltagsstress von unseren Gefühlen übermannt und wissen nicht, wie wir mit unseren Ängsten umgehen oder unsere innere Stärke wiederfinden können. Hier kann die stoische Philosophie eine große Hilfe sein. Schon in der Antike war sie eine der erfolgreichsten lebensphilosophischen Schulen. Um 300 vor Christus von Zenon von Kition gegründet und von großen Denkern wie Seneca, Mark Aurel und Epiktet vertreten, ist sie bis heute unschlagbar in ihrer stringenten Art, Gelassenheit und Gleichmut gegenüber den Untiefen des Lebens zu vermitteln.
