Brought to you by Penguin. We all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow. But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately. In this...

Mathematics has long been regarded as the purest expression of truth — a language through which the universe reveals itself. Yet behind every equation stands the human mind that created it. In this book, Boris Krieger follows the path of mathematics from its simplest intuitions to its highest abstractions, asking what it truly reveals — about reality, and about ourselves. Through lucid reflection and critical insight, he shows that geometry, algebra, topology, and probability are not independent worlds but translations of human perception into structure.

In What Money Can't Buy, renowned political philosopher Michael J. Sandel rethinks the role that markets and money should play in our society. Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we put a price on human life to decide how much pollution to allow? Is it ethical to...

Every time we think ahead, we are crafting a story. Every daily plan and every political vision, social movement, scientific hypothesis, business proposal, and technological breakthrough starts with “what if?” Linking causes to effects, considering hypotheticals and counterfactuals, asking how other people will react: these are the essence of narrative. So why do we keep overlooking story’s importance to intelligence in favor of logic?

This book examines neuroplasticity without illusion and without despair. Against the popular belief that the brain can be endlessly reshaped by will alone, and against the opposing conviction that it is largely fixed and unchangeable, Neuroplasticity: Limits and the Architecture of Change offers a sober, philosophically grounded account of how the brain truly adapts. Plasticity is presented not as a miracle solution nor as a closed door, but as a fragile, conditional capacity—real, powerful, and constrained.

Three hundred years ago, a professor of rhetoric in Naples proposed a criterion of truth that his century could not bring itself to hear. We know for certain only what we have made. Everything else we merely observe, and observation, he warned, is a poorer kind of knowing than we like to pretend.

Life is boring: filled with meetings and traffic, errands and emails. Nothing we'd ever call fun. But what if we've gotten fun wrong? In Play Anything, visionary game designer and philosopher Ian Bogost shows how we can overcome our daily anxiety; transforming the boring, ordinary world around us into one of endless, playful possibilities. The key to this playful mindset lies in discovering the secret truth of fun and games.

How much can we know about the world? In this audiobook physicist Marcelo Gleiser traces our search for answers to the most fundamental questions of existence, the origin of the universe, the nature of reality, and the limits of knowledge. In so doing he reaches a provocative conclusion: Science, like religion, is fundamentally limited as a tool for understanding the world. As science and its philosophical interpretations advance, we face the unsettling recognition of how much we don't know.

The universe was perfectly content until someone arrived and began to ask why. Stars burned, rivers ran, and matter rearranged itself without complaint—until consciousness appeared and demanded an explanation that was never going to come. From that single, fateful encounter, the absurd was born.

The Limit of Complexity is a philosophical investigation into one of the defining conditions of the contemporary world: the moment when complexity, once a source of power and progress, begins to turn against the systems that generate it. Moving across natural systems, economics, technology, politics, ethics, and human cognition, Boris Kriger examines how accumulation, interconnection, and scale quietly transform coherence into fragility. This book does not oppose complexity, nor does it idealize simplicity.

Revolutionary War officer Nathan Hale, one of America's first spies, said, "Any kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." A statue of Hale stands outside CIA headquarters, and the agency often cites his statement as one of its guiding principles. But who decides what is necessary for the public good, and is it really true that any kind of service is permissible for the public good? These questions are at the heart of James M. Olson's book, Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying.

When does liberty matter? It is often thought that personal liberty is always valuable and that it has a unique intrinsic value. In The Limits of Liberty, philosopher Sarah Conly argues that it is much less valuable than traditionally believed. Conly posits that liberties that bring good things have value, but liberties that bring bad consequences have no value. This means that in many cases where liberty has been valued, we are mistaken. Restrictions on certain liberties are more acceptable than commonly thought.

This book follows philosophy to the point where certainty no longer expands but instead reveals its boundaries. Beginning with the cogito not as a triumphant foundation but as a residue left after radical doubt, the text traces how attempts to ground existence, selfhood, consciousness, and reality repeatedly encounter structural limits. Animals, machines, simulated worlds, quantum theory, theology, and the self are examined not to extend certainty, but to show where and why it fails.
