The follow-up to Pinker's groundbreaking The Better Angels of Our Nature presents the big picture of human progress: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science. Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against...

"Reconstruction in Philosophy" by John Dewey is a groundbreaking philosophical work that challenges traditional modes of thinking and calls for a profound reevaluation of philosophical inquiry. In this transformative book, Dewey offers a compelling vision for reconstructing philosophy to better serve the needs and complexities of the modern world. With incisive intellect and deep insight, Dewey argues for a shift away from abstract metaphysical speculations...

This book is a continuation of my 'Motivation and Personality', published in 1954. It was, constructed in about the same way, that is, by doing one piece at a time of the larger theoretical structure. It is a predecessor to work yet to be done toward the construction of a comprehensive, systematic and empirically based general psychology and philosophy, which includes both the depths and the heights of human nature. The last chapter is to some extent...

El humanismo secular es un movimiento filosófico que se centra en la importancia de la razón, la ética y la justicia social en la construcción de una sociedad más justa y libre. Se basa sobre todo en la idea de que los seres humanos tenemos la capacidad y la responsabilidad de crear una vida significativa y moral sin depender de la religión o la superstición. 'Humanismo Secular: un manual para la vida' es la guía definitiva para aquellos que...

"Over the past century, humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonald's than from...

According to bestselling historian Yuval Noah Harari, today's average American has their foot in three ideological camps: nationalism, free market capitalism, and humanism. The first two might seem obvious, but the third? It's entirely possible that most who qualify for that label would be hard pressed to explain its meaning, much less use it self-descriptively. This book is designed to serve two important purposes: First, to provide an accessible...

Dios, el hombre y la muerte son problemas cuya verdad radica más en su planteamiento que en su solución. Esta obra da fe de ello. La primera aproximación se basa en el método cartesiano. El hombre es el tema central de la segunda aproximación. Finalmente, la aproximación a la muerte deja en claro que la estetización religiosa, metafísica o poética del morir no lo exime de su nexo ontológico con la nada.

Este es un libro de amor. Habla sobre la imposibilidad del amor en nuestra estructura económica. ¿Qué significa esto? El capitalismo no está ahí fuera: en el FMI, la OMC o el BCE. El capitalismo es una promesa de paraíso en la tierra, una idea de éxito y realización, un poder de fascinación. Tiqqun le pone nombre y le da figura: la Jovencita. La Jovencita no es mujer ni hombre, sino una imagen, un modelo, un ideal. Eterna juventud, seducción...

La postmodernidad plantea con clarividencia un problema, aunque no aporte soluciones. La razón se ha desestructurado, apagando las luces y sumiendo a Occidente en la oscuridad. Solo alcanzamos a ver un mundo fragmentado. ¿Es posible encontrar senderos dentro de ese laberinto? ¿Qué propuestas hay, qué alternativas? El autor, recurriendo a Lyotard, Ratzinger y Wojtyla, propone la vía de la experiencia. Una vía fundada en la integralidad de la...
