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.

One of the world's most important political philosophers, Jon Elster is a leading thinker on reason and rationality and their roles in politics and public life. In this short book, he crystallizes and advances his work, bridging the gap between philosophers who use the idea of reason to assess human behavior from a normative point of view and social scientists who use the idea of rationality to explain behavior.

Life is short, and it can be sweet. Contemplating death is looking into a mirror that allows us to see these simple facts clearly, as if for the first time. We have every reason to believe that we have but one life to live - and no good reasons to believe otherwise - and death marks the termination of each life. Examining this reality opens doors to understanding ourselves, each other, connection, love, and life itself in an entirely new way.

So unausbleiblich wie die Katze spinnt, wenn man sie streichelt, malt süße Wonne sich auf das Gesicht des Menschen, den man lobt und zwar in dem Felde seiner Prätension, sei das Lob auch handgreiflich lügenhaft. Oft trösten ihn über reales Unglück oder über die Kargheit, mit der für ihn die beiden, bis hier her abgehandelten Hauptquellen unseres Glückes fließen, die Zeichen des fremden Beifalls.

Le découragement est le problème majeur de notre temps. Là où nous pourrions avancer, nous baissons les bras. Là où nous pourrions être victorieux, nous partons perdants. On nous a fait croire que nous devions être dans le contrôle permanent, dans l'efficacité absolue. Mais la vie ne se contrôle pas, elle ne se gère pas.

هذا الكتاب يعتبر صغيراً في الحجم إلا أنه كان وافياً ليغطي إجابات كافة الأسئلة المحورية التي يطرحها الكاتب عبد اللطيف الصديقي. ومن أبرز هذه الأسئلة التي يتطرق إليها في الكتاب هي: هل كان الدين مسألة أساسية ومهمة في فكر آينشتاين الفيزيائي الكبير؟ وهل كان آينشتاين متديناً بالمعنى الشائع لهذه الكلمة؟ بمعنى: هل كان ممارساّ للطقوس الدينية؟. وفي إجابة عن السؤال الأول قدم الصديقي العديد من المعطيات التي تظهر أن آينشتاين كانت له خلفية دينية عميقة، ولكن بالمعنى ال.

ما زالت المكتبة العربية بحاجةٍ ماسّة إلى الكتب الجديدة في علم النفس والتربية، على الرغم من النشاط الكبير الذي نلاحظه في هذه السنوات الأخيرة في إخراج الكتب العلمية ونشر البحوث المتنوعة في الفلسفة والعلوم الاجتماعية، ولا شكَّ في أنَّ إقبال الجمهور على قراءة كل ما يُطرح في أمور النفس وأسرارها ومشاكل التربية واتجاهاتها المختلفة كبير جدًا ويدعو إلى الغبطة والتفاؤل.

Während der Jahre des Ersten Weltkrieges widmete sich Steiner intensiv der Verteidigung seiner anthroposophischen Geisteswissenschaft gegen zeitgenössische Kritiker. Die Schrift ›Von Seelenrätseln‹ von 1917 ist Ausdruck dieser Bemühungen. Steiner legt darin Wert darauf, die Anthroposophie methodisch klarer zu fassen als in früheren Texten und deren Forschungsansatz methodisch gegenüber dem naturwissenschaftlichen Paradigma zu verorten.

“L’essere umano è una malattia. Le malattie lo colpiscono, ma l’uomo in quanto tale è a sua voltauna malattia. Quello è il suo problema, ed è anche la sua unicità; quella è la sua buona sorte, ma al tempo stesso è la sua sfortuna. Nessun altro animale sulla Terra ha un problema simile, nessuno deve confrontarsi con una simile ansia, con quella tensione, con quel disagio, con un simile stato patologico; cosa che invece l’essere umano deve fare”. Osho

No-Point (2022) might be a tighter exploration and continuation of what was explored in No-Point Perspective (2020). Justin Allen and Andreas Müller continue their talks about nothing and still have nothing really to say; even less to say in fact. Allen and Müller are still able to turn something like talking about the weather, or in this case, nothing, into an exploration.
