L'uomo è un essere intelligente. Nel dizionario di Oxford l'intelligenza viene definita come "la capacità di acquisire e applicare conoscenze e competenze complesse". Se prendiamo per buona questa definizione, possiamo essere certi che l'essere umano, per come lo conosciamo, verrà presto superato dagli algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale. Le nostre forme sociali camminano al di fuori dell'ordine dell'intelligenza possibile all'uomo.

A landmark of Enlightenment thought, Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is accompanied here by two shorter works that shed light on it: A Letter from a Gentleman to His Friend in Edinburgh, Hume's response to those accusing him of atheism, of advocating extreme skepticism, and of undermining the foundations of morality; and his Abstract of A Treatise of Human Nature, which anticipates discussions developed in the Enquiry.

Conversationalism is a method of looking at our own mortality and coming to terms with its inevitability. Perhaps some of us are more anxious about our impending deaths when compared to others. That's okay, because no two people are the same, regardless of our similarities. This book not only analyzes what might make us uncomfortable about the vast unknown beyond our life here on Earth, but also about how we may become a little more comfortable with it with something that all humans crave: connecting with others.

Dit boek is een reisgids door de eeuwenoude filosofie van het Stoïcisme, een levenshouding die zijn wortels diep heeft verankerd in de menselijke geschiedenis. In een wereld die constant in beweging is, biedt het Stoïcisme een rotsvast kompas om je weg te vinden te midden van de problemen en vreugde van het leven.

¿Puede la filosofía dar respuestas a los problemas de la actualidad? ¿Puede enseñarnos a pensar en la muerte al margen de nuestra angustia existencial? ¿Una perspectiva filosófica nos ayuda a ver al otro como tal? ¿Cómo pensar en el poder cuando, en realidad, el poder nos atraviesa? ¿Qué se revela cuando la filosofía cuestiona la linealidad del tiempo?

This short audio on logic argues that logic and science can go hand in hand, and that, by taking observations of perceptions and sensations, and applying logical analysis to them, you have the power to build conceptual models and frameworks that you can use in order to predict what you should do in the future and to reason how to solve the problems in your life.

A point-blank attempt on confusion itself. Marked by the dogged precision of one resolved to sort the universe with nothing more than a pen and a visceral hunger for understanding, this berserk dissection of the world stands alone—a sober yet dynamic testament both to what crystalline lucidity lines the unnervingly paradoxical, and what incontrovertible madness is tucked into the folds of the mundane.

This book outlines a new way of thinking that can greatly increase your understanding of the world—and of your own personal experience.
