Metaphysics Philosophy

Russell's The Problems of Philosophy, first published in 1912, is both a primer for the philosophy-curious and the practicing philosopher. He introduces his readers to his thoughts on the difference between knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description, and asks the question: If we cannot be certain that external objects exist, how can we then have knowledge of them but by probability? There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects simply because of sense data.

After six hours of full-moon meditation inside the Egyptian pyramids and a two-hour activation session with a mysterious lightworker from Brazil, I was blasted open. For the next month, I woke up every morning and channeled messages into my journal, eyes closed most of the time, my hand literally moving faster than my brain could keep up. There were no edits made, just a full free-flowing download from who-knows-where. I thought it was cool. My friends thought it was profound. What became absolutely clear was that it was supposed to be available for anyone ready to receive it.

In Does Santa Exist?, Kaplan shows how philosophy giants Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein strove to smooth over this uncomfortable meeting of the real and unreal - and failed. From there he turns to mysticism's attempts to resolve such paradoxes. Finally, he alights on comedy as the ultimate resolution of the fundamental paradoxes of life. Kaplan delves deeper into what this means, from how our physical brains work to his own personal confrontations with life's biggest questions.

Recueil de conférences et d’études parues entre 1901 et 1913, L’Energie Spirituelle pose de multiples manières « la triple question de la conscience, de la vie et de leur rapport ». Du rêve au fonctionnement de la mémoire, de la perception à l’intellection, Bergson interroge le sens commun et remet en jeu une question vitale que les systèmes philosophiques existants et les vieilles métaphysiques n’ont su résoudre : le rapport entre âme et corps, entre esprit et matière.

Acerca del alma se enmarca en el grupo de obras aristotélicas dedicadas a la naturaleza orgánica y a los seres vivos. Aristóteles entiende el alma como principio de vida, lo cual explica que este estudio combine cuestiones de psicología y de fisiología. Se trata de una concepción naturalista muy distinta de las espiritualistas propias del platonismo y el cristianismo, sin connotaciones religiosas y apegada a las ciencias particulares.

Mit tiefem Kenntnisreichtum bringt uns Hegel den Geist der Völker des alten Orients, der Antike und des christlichen Abendlandes nahe und verbindet sie zu einer Stufenfolge der Entwicklung der Freiheit. Alle Umwälzungen, aller Schmerz und alles Leid in der Geschichte sind der Idee geschuldet, dass der Mensch als Mensch frei ist. Sie ist der "Angelpunkt, um den sich die Weltgeschichte dreht". Hegels Weltgeschichte ist bis heute eine historische, philosophische und theologische Herausforderung.

Lecture d'Orient et Occident, de René Guénon (1924).

Escuchar a Suzanne forma parte de esa llamada de luz, de esa avanzadilla angélica que pretende traer desde las estrellas esa sed de justicia, esa necesidad de colmar nuestra existencia con un nuevo paradigma que pasa por la generosidad, por la sencillez, por valores que tienen que ver con una vida nueva, mejor, más amorosa y profunda.

Este libro se escribe desde una comprensión que sólo aquel que esté listo para recibirla podrá aceptarla...la simplicidad y la obviedad de este mensaje es tal, que para poder ser bienvenido habría primero que estar dispuesto a morir. La muerte de la que aquí se habla es la muerte de un concepto. El concepto “yo soy algo”. Ese algo del que aquí se hace referencia es “soy una entidad separada”.

In Appearance in Reality, John Heil addresses a question at the heart of metaphysics: How are the appearances related to reality, how does what we find in the sciences comport with what we encounter in everyday experience and in the laboratory?

La desobediencia civil es el título de una conferencia escrita por Henry David Thoreau que se publicó en 1849. En este escrito Thoreau explica los principios básicos de la desobediencia civil que él mismo puso en práctica: en el verano de 1846 se negó a pagar sus impuestos por lo que fue detenido y encerrado en la prisión de Concord. Él se justificó explicando que se negaba a colaborar con un Estado que mantenía el régimen de esclavitud y emprendía guerras injustificadas, en aquel caso concreto contra México.
