Ergebnis für "Illusion" in Philosophie

In seiner philosophischen Schrift aus dem Jahr 1927 setzt sich Sigmund Freud mit dem Phänomen der Religiosität und der Bedeutung der Religion im Kontext moderner Gesellschaften auseinander. Nach Freuds Ansicht ist die Religion ein Ausläufer des Ödipuskomplexes und repräsentiert die Hilflosigkeit des Menschen in der Welt, der sich dem endgültigen Schicksal des Todes und den Naturgewalten stellen muss. Freud betrachtet Gott dabei als eine Manifestation der kindlichen Sehnsucht nach einem Vater. Den Religionen sagt Freud einen rapiden Bedeutungsverlust voraus.

Reality Is an Illusion is a profound journey across science, spirituality, philosophy, and lived human experience. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Bhaskar Bora—physician, survivor, seeker, and author—explores one of the oldest and most unsettling truths: that the reality we cling to may be nothing more than a shimmering veil.

Alan Watts discusses the Indian philosophy of the world as maya - under its multiple meanings as illusion, art, magic, creative power, measure, etc. Various techniques in the arts are used to illustrate the delicate and vibrational character of the material world, and to suggest a new approach to the old philosophy that the universe is "mind" only.

This podcast starts with a deep examination of Richard Bach's book "Illusions," which made a profound difference in my life. And then we will launch from there into a deep dive into the philosophical, spiritual, metaphysical, and mystical aspects of our world. Along the way, we will explore and test the lessons in the book, the wisdom of the ancients, and the metaphysical implications of much modern science.

In Beyond Biocentrism, acclaimed biologist Robert Lanza and astronomer Bob Berman take the listener on an intellectual thrill ride as they reexamine everything we thought we knew about life, death, the universe, and the nature of reality itself. The first step is acknowledging that our existing model of reality is looking increasingly creaky in the face of recent scientific discoveries.

If you took your hands off the steering wheel of your life (or at least relaxed your grip a bit), what would happen? On Let Yourself Go, Arjuna Ardagh invites listeners to find out, as they discover how to identify and dissolve the hidden points of view that obscure the true nature of reality and the essence of what we are.

This book explores how meaning, often assumed to be a stable or innate feature of reality, is in fact a constructed phenomenon — shaped, transmitted, and manipulated through language, cultural systems, economic structures, and ideology. Drawing on thinkers such as Wittgenstein, Lacan, Orwell, and contemporary cultural critics, the text unpacks how language limits thought, how culture recycles and fossilizes symbolic forms, and how capitalism turns meaning into a consumable commodity.

The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism. What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.

The Trace That Was Never There is the closing volume in this post-spiritual trilogy—a contemplative, poetic dismantling of the final constructs we cling to: the soul, the self, the seeker, and the witness. This book does not offer answers, tools, or affirmations. It is not a map. It is the trace left by something already disappearing.

Ortega’s unique passion for and leadership in publicizing the truth about human will comes across throughout the book’s devastating, yet accessible, explanations of why free will is impossible, and in its descriptions of the harm free will-belief causes us personally and societally. What also sets Ortega’s work apart from refutations by others is his strong recognition that humanity’s overcoming the belief in free will is an historic evolutionary leap in human consciousness.

Although countless books have been made into films, this may be the first time a screenplay is released as a book with the explicit purpose of enlisting a producer and financing for the film. Free Will - Moving Beyond the Illusion is not just about producing a full-length theatrical-release documentary. This book is about explaining to the world in a variety of ways that virtually everyone can understand and relate to, why nothing we humans think, feel, say, or do is ever up to us.

Imagine this: You’ve just hired someone for a job, but instead of showing initiative, they spend more time scrolling on their phone, wondering why they’re not the boss yet. Or perhaps you’ve seen a viral video of someone celebrated for doing… absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, your own hard work feels undervalued in a culture that rewards mediocrity. Sound familiar? In today’s world, intelligence, skill, and grit seem to take a back seat to viral fame and unearned entitlement. You’re left wondering: When did ambition become a dirty word?

"Future of an Illusion," authored by Sigmund Freud in 1927, embarks on a critical examination of religion, articulating it as a psychological construct born from humanity's deep-seated needs for protection, moral guidance, and understanding of the universe.

This book, more or less, demonstrates that time is most likely an illusion, its speed depends on age, and from a physical point of view, time, as such, may not make sense. Why should all this matter to us? Just as people suffered and died, they will continue to suffer and die. I have nothing to say to that. It’s true. And nothing can be done about it.

With the lucid verve and solid scientific grounding of an Oliver Sacks or Malcolm Gladwell, Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler guides listeners on a fascinating tour of the bedrock of our existence - the way our senses perceive everything and everyone in the world around us. Why does one person see Jesus in a shower curtain, get a "bad feeling" about someone they've just met, or hear a conversation so differently than the other person? Boxer Wachler describes some of the mysterious medical conditions that cause non-psychiatric hallucinations and neurological mix-ups.

A ciência vem sendo maltratada. Negacionismo, achismos, falta de investimento: ela tem precisado lutar pelo que antes era óbvio, pois vivemos em um momento em que fatos inquestionáveis são...questionados. Os prejuízos desse desapego pela ciência são sentidos duramente nos dias atuais e amplificados pelas redes sociais. Que remédio há para esses males?

A book for the existentialists. A guide for those who seek self love. A journey for those who seek deeper truths about their own existence in this vast and desolate universe. Unfortunately, this is a book not just about any death, but your own death. After a life filled with uncertainties, you will finally take your last breath in a moment which was always promised to you. As you listen to the chapters, the aim is to ensure you are left uncovering more questions, rather than answers, that lead you on a journey of self-discovery and deeper truths.

Jeff & Darron ponder the intersection of reality, consciousness, and culture. These conversations comprise an ongoing attempt to construct meaning by exploring art and science, developing understanding of the context underpinning our current moment in time, and imagining possible futures for human civilization. No expertise here, just two guys who enjoy learning, thinking, and talking about big ideas, deep questions, and the “beautiful illusion” that is the subjective human experience. *New episodes released every one to two months on Sunday mornings*
