Social Consciousness

In this book via three key essays, I attempt to turn the issue of mindless automatons on its head (with a bad pun included) by pointing out that “this [very issue] begs a much larger question: how do we really know that the zombie is merely a mindless automaton? The obvious answer is that we don't.” In other words, while it is certainly true that we can project consciousness on all sorts of objects that may lack it...

"The Joyful Wisdom", written in 1882, just before "Zarathustra", is rightly judged to be one of Nietzsche's best books. Here the essentially grave and masculine face of the poet-philosopher is seen to light up and suddenly break into a delightful smile. The warmth and kindness that beam from his features will astonish those hasty psychologists who have never divined that behind the destroyer is the creator, and behind the blasphemer the lover of life.

Igor Sibaldi, "Prigioni: Le pene collettive". ARGOMENTO: "La mente mente!" Non è solo un modo di dire. È, anche se pochi oggi se ne sono accorti, l'intuizione del limite a cui giunge la nostra capacità di accorgerci di ciò che sappiamo e di ciò che siamo. Da quel sistema psichico che chiamiamo "mente" e dai suoi principali strumenti, che sono le parole della nostra lingua, dipendono limiti artificiosi della nostra esistenza, vere e proprie prigioni in cui viviamo e alle quali ci adattiamo fin dall'infanzia.

Reality is the one word that describes everything we live in, everything we know, knew, and will. It represents time, space, and all the other possible dimensions. But what exactly is reality? In his book, The Bitter Truth of Reality, author Mahmoud Elsayed attempts to answer this complex query by taking a journey through physics, biology, human anatomy, history, philosophy, and even religions. Hopefully, by the end of this book, the listener will find an answer to this question that sits at the top of the existential questions list.

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Lao Tzu. The text's authorship, date of composition, and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China.
