Waypoint is a collection of published and unpublished works from over the last five years of the pleeb’s intellectual journey. Here you will find the initial developments and later adjustments to "timenergy theory" via the existential analysis of labor power in capitalism, as well as original contributions to critical media theory, and thoughts on the culture war. This work draws heavily from the early works of Martin Heidegger and Karl Marx, as well as thinkers such as Levinas, Arendt, and Baudrillard.

Secularism is increasingly a fact of life in Western society. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that faith is harder than it has been before. Even in the past when organized religion enjoyed more widespread cultural acceptance, there were still obstacles to true belief. Today, the obstacles are different, but faith is still viable.

God and the Self in Hegel proposes a reconstruction of Hegel’s conception of God and analyzes the significance of this reading for Hegel’s idealistic metaphysics. Paolo Diego Bubbio argues that in Hegel’s view, subjectivism—the tenet that there is no underlying “true” reality that exists independently of the activity of the cognitive agent—can be avoided, and content can be restored to religion, only to the extent that God is understood in God’s relation to human beings, and human beings are understood in their relation to God.

Prepare to be taken on a thought-provoking journey as Dr. David K. Ewen uncovers the ominous challenges that arise when artificial intelligence (AI) and democratic processes intersect.

In the United States, to be a Black American is to be a Black Christian. And there’s something to this assumption in that the vast majority of African Americans are Christian. However, in recent years a growing number of African Americans have said they claim no particular religious affiliation—they are Black “nones.” And of these Black “nones,” the most public and vocal are those who claim to be humanists.

Rosenberger brings together ideas from philosophy and cognitive science to leverage a postphenomenological perspective that reveals how our smartphones make us such bad drivers.

Life is often likened to a race, a journey filled with challenges, obstacles, and unexpected turns.

This book, "The Race: Conquering Obstacles," delves into the multifaceted nature of life's journey and offers insights on how to navigate its many challenges.

Chi è il Dio dei monoteismi? Non certo il Dio di cui discutono atei e credenti, ma un Dio tragico e assoluto, drammatico nella sua Unità e apertura al mondo. È il concetto più alto: pensarlo significa affondare negli abissi del monoteismo, scorgere l'imperscrutabilità di questa presenza-assenza che da sempre ingombra la vita dell'uomo. Ma è anche il Dio che irrompe nella storia con uno sguardo di Amore verso l'Uomo e si fa sorgente di libertà e giustizia.

Aclamado como una parábola para los tiempos modernos, Erasmo de Rotterdam es la biografía de un gran humanista que, cuando se le pidió una confesión de fe, dijo: “Amo la libertad, y no serviré ni puedo servir a ningún partido”. En ningún momento Zweig menciona a Hitler por su nombre, pero es obvio que esta biografía de un hombre que trató de mantenerse por encima de la batalla.

Solo pochi mesi fa lo chiamavamo "nostro" e adesso lo abbiamo già regalato alla storia. È fragile da maneggiare, per niente facile da catalogare. Eppure come ha detto sagacemente Karl Popper "il Novecento è stato un secolo così pieno di correnti che, vedrete, la sua influenza si diffonderà dappertutto". Scandita dalle menti più bizzarre, la filosofia del secolo che ci ha dato i natali ci lascia con ardite provocazioni, brillanti interrogativi e una certezza: il futuro è aperto, come una partita di flipper, con tutte te sue luci e i suoi bonus, le buche e i respingenti.

Solidarietà, empatia, simpatia, compassione: parole di cui oggi nel discorso pubblico e nel linguaggio della politica si è quasi persa traccia. E questo, proprio mentre milioni di uomini e donne chiedono aiuto attraversando mari e tribolazioni, e mentre la povertà e le diseguaglianze crescono anche nel mondo ricco. Perché entrare in contatto con le emozioni altrui è diventato così difficile? E che cosa accade quando un essere umano le vede e le sente, le emozioni dell'altro?

La filosofia come non ve l'hanno mai mostrata. Divertente e irriverente e, incredibile a dirsi, perfino comprensibile e utile. Rende conto di tutte le correnti, sintetizza le intuizioni più brillanti in un pensiero stupendo, suggerisce le applicazioni pratiche di ogni teoria, propone una colonna sonora per ciascuna riflessione filosofica, invita a sperimentare il valore di mercato delle diverse dottrine. Dall'Età dei Lumi ai contemporanei, da Cartesio a Popper, da Voltaire ad Heidegger, questa è la storia non autorizzata di cinque secoli di pensiero filosofico.
