Philosophy Logic

What are the unstated theoretical and philosophical assumptions that underlie the modern study of criminology? Given the awful state of crime, justice and punishment in modern civilization, maybe it's time to rethink the whole enterprise? DiCristina did just that back in 1995. Maybe we should revisit his thinking, pause for a moment and ask ourselves if there is a better way? DiCristina courageously concludes that anarchy is the solution. Or maybe the field has already reached that condition? You decide!

Revisitando tudo o que pensávamos saber sobre linguagem, este livro revolucionário apresenta um ponto de vista totalmente original para explicar o surgimento dessa que talvez seja nossa maior conquista. Uma história tão notável quanto a da origem da vida. Embora suas ramificações alcancem tudo que fazemos, a linguagem é ainda profundamente intrigante. O que há no cérebro humano que a torna possível? Como é que simples sons e gestos podem transmitir significado? Por que não falamos todos a mesma língua?

Siamo nel 1919. La prima guerra mondiale è finita da poco. "Il dottor Benjamin fugge dalla casa di suo padre, il luogotenente Wittgenstein commette un suicidio finanziario, il libero docente Heidegger perde la fede e monsieur Cassirer lavora sul tram alla propria illuminazione." Comincia un decennio di eccezionale creatività, che cambierà per sempre il corso delle idee in Europa e senza il quale alcuni pensieri non sarebbero mai stati pensati.

Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Wittgenstein in just one hour. Ludwig Wittgenstein saw himself as ‘the last philosopher’. In his view, philosophy in the traditional sense was finished. A superb logician, Wittgenstein distrusted language and sought to solve the problems of philosophy by reducing them to the purest form of logic. Everything else - metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics, finally even philosophy itself - was excluded.

This is an audiobook of my inspirational thoughts. Most of these are my original thoughts inspired by others.

Als einer der Väter der Analytischen Philosophie, hat Bertrand Russell eine Fülle von Essays verfasst, die sehr entschieden seine Meinung präsentieren und trotz seiner akademischen Formulierungen allgemeinverständlich bleiben. In dem von Norbert Hülm gelesenen Werk "Unpopuläre Betrachtungen" findet sich eine Sammlung seiner Aufsätze, die populär wurden. Die enthaltenen Essays stellen Russell deutlich als den klaren Denker und großen Stilist dar, der er war. Russells Analysen zu folgen ist nicht nur sehr unterhaltsam, es regt auch zum Nachdenken an.

Diese EINE Eigenschaft ist die Grundlage für deine Fähigkeit, kritisch zu denken. Weißt du, was das ist? Es ist die Fähigkeit, die RICHTIGEN Fragen zu stellen. Was wäre das Leben ohne Fragen? Es gab eine Zeit, in der man sich darauf verlassen konnte, dass die Antworten, die man von der Regierung, den Medien, der Religion, von Fachleuten, Freunden und der Familie erhielt, richtig waren.

人間が言語に規定された存在であることは二〇世紀の哲学の前提だった。二一世紀に入って二〇年が過ぎたいま、コミュニケーションにおける言葉の価値は低下し、〈言語を使う存在〉という人間の定義も有効性

Andrea Chapela, una de las grandes autoras jóvenes en nuestra lengua, empieza con esta confesión: "A mí la ciencia me parece bella y, al escribir, quiero explorar esa belleza." En los tres ensayos aquí incluidos, "El acto de ver a través", "El acto de verse" y "La historia de ver", los objetos de la minuciosa observación y animada curiosidad de la autora son, respectivamente, la ventana, el espejo y la luz.

Perché un candidato alla Presidenza degli Stati Uniti può vincere le elezioni sbraitando menzogne come "Costruirò un muro fra gli Stati Uniti e il Messico e sarà il Messico a pagarlo"? Perché abbiamo voglia di comprare una confezione di Nespresso dopo aver visto l'ennesima pubblicità con George Clooney? Perché se ci troviamo in una città sconosciuta camminiamo con lo sguardo incollato allo schermo del telefonino, preoccupati solo di non perdere di vista Google Maps?

In Stop Being Reasonable, philosopher and journalist Eleanor Gordon-Smith tells six lucid, gripping stories that show the limits of human reason. From the woman who realised her husband harboured a terrible secret, to the man who left the cult he had been raised in since birth, and the British reality TV contestant who, having impersonated someone else for a month, discovered he could no longer return to his former identity, all of the people interviewed radically altered their beliefs about the things that matter most.

Many people don’t understand what critical thinking is. Moreover, not all the ones that do, apply it in their daily lives. Politics, the media, and so many other aspects of society show how small the number is of people who use their brains. Critical thinking means, among others, that you look at multiple sides of a controversial topic, that you can stay objective and put away your biases until you have reached a firm conclusion based on verifiable facts. This skill is highly valuable in job interviews, relationships, and everyday life.
