" Philosopher, c’est apprendre à mourir " : dans cette maxime de Montaigne, " mourir " est souvent compris comme la fin de notre vie biologique. Pourtant sa portée est plus vaste : mourir est une affaire de chaque instant, une mise en abyme continuelle de soi et de sa pensée, de sa réflexion. Et réfléchir implique de rompre momentanément avec nos schémas habituels, nos routines quotidiennes, nos croyances et nos présupposés. Cet ouvrage montre comment la pratique philosophique nous permet de " devenir nous-mêmes", en nous écartant de l’immédiateté, en cessant – un temps – de vivre.

Книга современного философа, изучающего смысловые структуры действительности, доктора философии и профессора НИУ ВШЭ Георгия Чернавина посвящена феномену "подобия совести": совести ложной и/или заблуждающейся. Автор предлагает концепцию "подобия совести" – паразитарной формы внутреннего голоса, подпитывающего невротическое чувство вины и нашептывающего требования выморочного долга. Тема раскрыта на материале классической русской литературы (Достоевский, Толстой, Шкловский и др.), а также с опорой на средневековые типологии совести и разработки этой темы у Гуссерля, Хайдеггера, Сартра, Колнаи.

Is there a magic formula to determine if someone is going to make it straight to the top? As I study and learn about the life of various ultra-successful people in their respective fields, I've realized that all of them are different in a lot of areas, but there is one particular aspect that is common to them all - they are all believers of self-improvement. You see, there is no achievement without improvement. You can wish all you want to become an achiever, for your income to be higher, and for your life to be better, but unless you punch that time card and start improving yourself, nothing will change.

Ce voyage au fin fond de la dépendance, cette invitation au gai acquiescement de soi emprunte deux versants. Sous la forme d'un traité, sont explorées les voies qui conduisent à la grande santé, au joyeux dire oui. En contrepoint, dans des fragments, une autre voix se donne à entendre. À la troisième personne, lointaine et pourtant si intime, l'auteur narre sa singulière quête de liberté en plein chaos. Chemin faisant, Alexandre Jollien nous livre un carnet de route, un véritable traité de déculpabilisation.

How can science teach us that animals feel no pain when our common sense observations tell us otherwise? Bernard Rollin offers welcome insight into questions like this in his ground-breaking account of the difficult and controversial issues surrounding the use of animals. He demonstrates that the denial of animal consciousness and animal suffering is not an essential feature of a scientific approach, but rather a contingent, historical aberration that can and must be changed if science is to be both coherent and morally responsible.

Марк Аврелий - римский император и стоик, чье правление пришлось на «золотой век Римской империи», а его самого называли философом на троне. "Наедине с собой - собрание мыслей Марка Аврелия, созданное в конце II века н.э. Эти записи содержат рассуждения римского императора о духе, долге и совести, а также отражает его упорное стремление не только руководствоваться в своем мироощущении идеями стоицизма, но и развивать его для будущих поколений.

Life is like poetry. It has many styles, messages, and dimensions. Poetry, like life, can be happy, sad, serious, comical, etc. Like life, poetry is action, motion, and movement. Time never stands still. Every second of our day is moving toward a predestined journey. This journey is poetry in motion.

The premise of this book is based on the recognition that thought is an activity in human beings that (1) proceeds in a fragmented way and that (2) basically cannot be halted. We cannot opt out of thinking. The conclusion is that this accounts for human suffering, lack of direction, and chaos in daily actions and decisions. This leads to the further conclusion that thinking is not something we do, it is something that is being done in us.

“Lo Zen è un’esperienza improvvisa: non c’è preparazione, non ci sono prove, non c’è una disciplina, non c’è un sentiero” chiarisce Osho, e aggiunge: “All’improvviso apri gli occhi: come se un lampo ti avesse colpito, interrompendo il sonno di milioni di anni. In quell risveglio, conosci il mistero dell’esistenza.” A quella folgorante esperienza Osho avvicina in queste tredici immersioni, sollecitando il momento inevitabile che nella vita quotidiana si ha la tendenza a ignorare.
