Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder, and the first Western philosophers developed theories of the world which express simultaneously their sense of wonder and their intuition that the world should be comprehensible. But their enterprise was by no means limited to this proto-scientific task. Through, for instance, Heraclitus's enigmatic sayings, the poetry of Parmenides and Empedocles, and Zeno's paradoxes, the Western world was introduced to metaphysics, rationalist theology, ethics, and logic.

Carl Jung was the founder of analytical psychology who revolutionized the way we approached the human psyche. Drawing on Eastern mysticism, mythology and dream analysis to develop his theories, Jung proposed many ideas which are still influential today, including introversion, extroversion and the collective unconscious.

María Zambrano, allieva di José Ortega y Gasset e di Xavier Zubiri all'Universidad Central di Madrid, fu esiliata dopo la guerra civile e viaggiò, peregrinando e nascondendosi, dal Messico a Cuba, da Roma alla Svizzera. Con uno sguardo profondo e delicato, Luigina Mortari compone il ritratto di una vita in fuga e di un pensiero libero: "La filosofia di Zambrano spazia sui paesaggi dell'anima, apre all'immensità del cosmo, addolcisce il discorso con parole di poesia, e per queste sue qualità può sembrare una filosofia dell'intimo.

Pocos se atreverían a afirmar que Platón sea el único padre de la filosofía, pero eso es lo que se defiende en este libro, siguiendo la línea del filósofo inglés Alfred North Whitehead cuando afirmó que «la historia de la filosofía occidental no es más que una serie de notas al pie de página de Platón».

Was geschieht, wenn wir Kant nicht mehr als marmornes Denkmal, sondern als lebendigen Menschen lesen? Diese Frage bildet den Kern dieses Buches. Immanuel Kants Philosophie war niemals dazu bestimmt, als unverrückbares Dogma verehrt zu werden. Sie war ein kritisches Projekt, ein Versuch, die Grenzen der Vernunft sichtbar zu machen und Werkzeuge für weiteres Denken zu schaffen.

Konfuzius war ein chinesischer Philosoph zur Zeit der Östlichen Zhou-Dynastie.

Este sfârșitul anului 1932. Trei prieteni reuniți la faimoasa cafenea Bec-de-Gaz de pe rue Montparnasse din Paris dezbat aprins în timp ce își sorb cocktailul de caise. Detaliu care, la o primă vedere, ar putea părea o simplă anecdotă, dacă nu ar fi prilejuit nașterea unui sistem filozofic care a marcat istoria intelectuală a secolului XX: existențialismul. Cei trei prieteni sunt Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir și Raymond Aron, iar episodul întâlnirii lor dă tonul acestei admirabile relatări, care ne poartă pe urmele celor mai importanți făuritori de idei filozofice ai veacului trecut.

El catorce de agosto de 2023 será una fecha que quedará grabada, para siempre, en la vida de Francesc Torralba. Es el último día de la vida de su hijo Oriol, quien murió haciendo una excursión por la montaña. El proceso del duelo es un camino tortuoso y con muchos vaivenes que nos pone ante lo único insalvable: la muerte. No hay palabras es la obra de la vida del autor, por tema personal, pero también porque es un replanteamiento desde una perspectiva totalmente novedosa de un tema que él ya había tratado, cómo era la pérdida de un ser querido.

What happened to the European mind between 1605, and 1649? In this turbulent period, science moved from the alchemy and astrology of John Dee to the painstaking observation and astronomy of Galileo, from the classicism of Aristotle, still favoured by the Church, to the evidence-based, collegiate investigation of Francis Bacon.
