A pathbreaking neuroscientist reveals how our social instincts turn Me into Us, but turn Us against Them - and what we can do about it. The great dilemma of our shrinking world is simple: never before have those we disagree with been so present in our lives. The more globalization dissolves national borders, the more clearly we see that human beings are deeply divided on moral lines - about everything from tax codes to sexual practices to energy consumption - and that, when we really disagree, our emotions turn positively tribal.

In The Moral Equivalent of War, William Jamess final public statement explores the growing interest in international peace from a practical psychologists perspective. For over fifteen years, the movement advocating for global peace has rallied support from diverse organizations and individuals around the globe.

His proposals serve ...

In this thought-provoking work, David Hume, the distinguished Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist, delves into the essence and foundation of morals. Written as an accessible summary of Book III from his seminal work, A Treatise of Human Nature, Hume invites us to ponder a critical debate Are morals derived from reason or sentiment? Do we understand them through logic and induction, or by instinctive feelings and a subtle internal sense? He challenges us to consider whether moral truths are universal for all rational beings or if they vary based on the unique constitution of humanity....

In his groundbreaking work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Adam Smith explores the intrinsic elements of human nature that connect us to the well-being of others. He famously states, How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortunes of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it. Published in 1759, this first major book by Smith was an immediate sensation, selling out upon release and maintaining its relevance for centuries. In this ...

In this groundbreaking work, Kwame Anthony Appiah, hailed as "one of the most relevant philosophers today" (New York Times Book Review), changes the way we understand human behavior and the way social reform is brought about.

Con su distinguible estilo narrativo y el aura de Historia secreta de Chile, Baradit responde estas preguntas y retrata no solo los secretos y la ferocidad del régimen.

¿Arturo Prat fue un apasionado espiritista? ¿Por qué murió asesinado Manuel Rodríguez y donde se encuentran sus restos? ¿Hubo en la Patagonia una monarquía dirigida por un francés cuyos súbditos eran un grupo de mapuches? ¿La estrella solitaria de nuestra bandera en un símbolo luciferino? ¿La clase política del siglo XX tenía entre sus principales asesores a un médium? Jorge Baradit, en su nuevo libro, responde cada uno de estos interrogantes para proponernos una historia distinta, una líquida, blanda, moldeable, cortable, redefinible y esculpible.

Das Mittelalter, vordergründig von einer rigiden christlichen Moral geprägt, kannte die Lust an Liebe und Sinnlichkeit, ohne Reue und Gewissensbisse. Wie selbstverständlich Sexualität gelebt wurde - sowohl in der Ehe wie auch außerhalb - macht das Hörbuch ebenso anschaulich wie den uneingeschränkten Genuss anderer Lebensfreunden, des Essens und Trinkens (in den Klöstern waren zwei Liter Wein pro Tag und Person durchaus an der Tagesordnung), der Feste und des Tanzes.

Marcus Aurelius, one of the great rulers of the Roman Empire, sets forth a series of self-reflective essays intended as a guide for his own self-improvement. Written during the turning points of his life and divided into twelve books, Meditations ponders life’s greatest questions in the author’s search for a meaningful existence. Remarkably, they are no different from the questions we ask ourselves today - from finding happiness to understanding our place in the cosmos. Centuries after Aurelius’s death, Meditations remains a profound source of inspiration.
