Durante siglos, la filosofía se ha centrado en comprender el conocimiento, la verdad y la realidad. Mientras que abundan explicaciones y análisis sobre los casos en los que el conocimiento es exitoso, se han dejado de lado fenomenos epistemologicos negativos tales como la ignorancia, la ilusion o el engaño, a pesar de nuestra evidente falibilidad. Sentido, sinsentido y subjetividad propone una teoria del pensamiento falso, mostrando que la equivocacion es parte constitutiva de la subjetividad y que quien desea conocer, incluso en sus aciertos, nunca esta libre de error. Frente a la tradicion que concibe la subjetividad como autorrepresentacion consciente e infalible, Gabriel propone una teoria que busca explicar como y por que captamos la realidad de manera erronea. Ser alguien, aboga el autor, implica estar equivocado sobre algo. Este libro plantea una reflexion actual sobre la fragilidad del conocimiento, en tiempos donde lo verdadero y lo falso tienden a confundirse. Su apuesta, sin sucumbir a algun tipo de pesimismo o nihilismo, es que debemos liberarnos de la ilusion de una sociedad libre de ilusiones.

De la autora de Al final de la puerta llega una nueva obra que invita a mirar la vida con los ojos del alma.Este libro no solo cuenta una historia, sino que ofrece un encuentro entre la fe y la duda, el dolor y la esperanza. Sus paginas recorren esos momentos en los que todo parece perder sentido hasta que comprendemos que siempre hubo un proposito mayor esperandonos.Cada palabra fue escrita desde la experiencia, desde la busqueda de entender por que suceden las cosas y desde la certeza de que, aun en medio del silencio, Dios sigue hablando. Es una invitacion a recordar que no hay heridas sin redencion ni caminos sin destino cuando la mirada se levanta hacia lo eterno.

El Sermón de la montaña es como una quintaesencia del Evangelio: las ocho Bienaventuranzas, carta magna de lo cristiano; el amor al prójimo —más aún, al enemigo— como cumplimiento y superación de la

We all want to make sense of lifethe good, the painful, the miraculous. Who are we? Why are we here? What should we do with our lives? How do we hold on to hope, in a world that is both beautiful and broken? Through eight lyrical and reflective essays, one of todays most thoughtful spiritual writers Steven Garber explores the idea of the "proximate"a word from the Latin "proximatus,"to draw near. Garber invites us to draw near to the deepest realities of life and to see with greater clarity and compassionrecognizing what is true, right, and beautiful in the world, even as we see the suffering all around us. Hints of Hope probes what it means to be human; to wrestle with the contradictions we all face in our marriages, in our workplaces, in our friendships and vocations. We all experience beauty and brokenness, wonder and despair, joy and sorrow. We live with disappointment and grief and pain . . . wanting more, expecting more, but never being completely fulfilled. Paradoxically, as we make peace with the proximate, our vision is expanded to see more clearly the glimmers of beauty and grace that thread their way through our lives. Garber suggests that those hints of hope are enough in this frail world of ours, "a world stretched taut between what is and what someday will be."Written in memoir form, Hints of Hope weaves together decades of Garbers travels, teaching, and personal musings to offer a tapestry of wisdom on vocation, culture, faith, and hope. Readers of Wendell Berry, Parker Palmer, Marilyn McEntyre, Philip Yancey, and Frederick Buechner will find a rich, soul-nourishing feast within these pages.

Britain is no longer the great power it once was. Caught between an unmoored America and a fractured Europe, it confronts rising authoritarian challenges from China and Russia, while its domestic debates drift into abstract moralising. Lacking a coherent vision for the future, the country risks sliding further into managed decline, its global relevance steadily eroding.Yet such a trajectory is not inevitable. In this clear-eyed assessment of Britains economic, ideological and strategic vulnerabilities, Azeem Ibrahim identifies the essential building blocks of renewal. He outlines a programme of reforms that will allow a genuinely independent Britain to capitalise on its core strengths. After all, as a lean and specialised nuclear power with one of the worlds most sophisticated intelligence networks, as well as world-class universities and a cultural reach second only to the US, the UK can still shape global affairs.A Greater Britain argues that a clear strategic anchor and bold leadership are needed if the UK is to convert its advantages into real influence. By formulating a pioneering Knowledge Power Doctrine, the book offers a global strategy for a once powerful nation, providing nothing short of a roadmap back to British greatness.

Benedetto Neola explores how late antique Neoplatonists, from Iamblichus in the third-fourth century to Damascius in the fifth-sixth, reimagined what it meant to be a true philosopher. For them, the philosopher was not simply a thinker or tireless talker, but a divine soul sent by the gods to rescue humanity from the material world. Figures like Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato are portrayed as untouched by the charms of the sensible realm. Always connected to the divine, they are ritual practitioners whose sacred mission is carried out not through temple rites, but through speech itself understood as the highest offering to the gods. These divinely inspired words, spoken in a state of possession and revealing truths about the divine, are the noblest form of ritual: an act that unites the philosopher with the gods and brings salvation to others. Combining philosophy, theology, and ritual, the author uncovers a forgotten dimension of ancient thought in which words save souls.

"To study and at due times to practice what one has learned, is that not a pleasure?"In a time of deep political chaos and moral decay, Confucius sought to restore order not through force, but through the power of character. The Analects is a profound collection of dialogues and aphorisms that outline a path toward a meaningful life. It introduces the world to the concept of Ren (human-heartedness), the importance of Li (ritual and etiquette), and the foundational role of the family in a stable society. Far from being a dry religious text, it is a practical handbook for anyone seeking to lead with integrity, treat others with empathy, and achieve a state of internal balance.The Concept of the Junzi: The heart of the book is the ideal of the Junzi, often translated as the "Noble Person" or "Gentleman." Confucius argues that nobility is not a matter of birth, but of moral effort. A Junzi is someone who is self-disciplined, seeks the truth rather than profit, and remains composed in the face of adversity.The Golden Rule and Social Order: Confucius famously articulated the Silver Rule: "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you." He believed that if individuals cultivated virtue and practiced Filial Piety (respect for parents and ancestors), the peace would naturally radiate outward from the family to the village, and finally to the entire state.Why It Is a Global Foundation: For over two thousand years, The Analects served as the basis for the Chinese civil service examinations and the moral fabric of Asian societies. Its emphasis on lifelong learning, meritocracy, and the ethical responsibility of leaders makes it as relevant in a modern boardroom as it was in an ancient palace.Discover the wisdom that built civilizations.

The debate in Europe centers on labor market development, shared responsibility for demographic changes, and preparing for their impact. Building a lifelong learning system is essential from this perspective. Education is key to integration across Europe, fostering trust and cooperation. The EU is founded on values fundamental to education and culture, supporting programs that promote shared EU ideals. Educational efforts highlight universalism and humanism as core principles of civilization and recognize the importance of international organizations in ensuring inclusive education. Enhancing civic education can improve understanding of democratic processes and encourage active societal participation. Implementing modern education policies requires changes in both teaching methods and content, including adopting innovative techniques and developing digital skills.

"I buried my past... but at what cost to my soul?"Our narrator is a man of dual heritagegifted, light-skinned, and acutely observant. Born into a world defined by the "color line," he possesses the unique and dangerous ability to move between the Black and White worlds. From the smoking rooms of high-society New York to the gambling dens of the South, and from the birth of Ragtime to the horrific reality of a public lynching, his journey is a panoramic view of the American racial landscape at the turn of the century. Ultimately, he chooses to "pass" as a white man for the sake of safety and success, but he finds that his "great secret" is a burden that leaves him feeling like an unfaithful witness to his own life.A Masterclass in Irony and Ambiguity: James Weldon Johnsons narrator is not a typical hero. He is a "flaneur"a detached observer who often prioritizes self-preservation over solidarity. This narrative choice allows the reader to see the subtle, insidious ways that systemic racism forces individuals to fragment their own identities just to survive.The Soundtrack of a Changing Nation: The novel is famous for its early and insightful treatment of Ragtime. The narrator, a talented pianist, views the music as a profound contribution to world culture, yet he eventually abandons his dream of elevating Black folk music into classical forms, choosing instead a life of quiet, white-collar invisibility.Why It Is a Revolutionary Classic: Published before the height of the Harlem Renaissance, this novel shattered the sentimental stereotypes of its time. It is a cold-eyed look at the "privilege" of whiteness and the profound sense of loss that comes with abandoning ones heritage. It remains a vital text for understanding the "double consciousness" of the American experience.Step behind the mask. Purchase "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" today.

Come and hear all ye that fearGod, and I will declare what He hathDone for my soul.Psalm lxvi. 16.The text in this edition is as nearly as possible that of the eighth, which was corrected by Bunyan himself a few weeks before his death. The text of A Relation is that of the first edition of 1765. A few minor changes have been introduced for the convenience of the reader. The use of capital letters has been considerably modified, and the orthography has been in places modernized. In some few instances the Scripture references have been added to quotations where they did not appear in the original. It must be remembered that Bunyan often quoted Scripture inexactly, and it has not been deemed necessary to make all his quotations follow the text of the Authorized Version.The marginal summary is not part of the original, but has been prepared for this edition in order that it may correspond with the Societys editions of the Pilgrims Progress.The illustrations have been prepared for this work by Mr. Harold Copping, whose illustrations to the Pilgrims Progress have justly attracted much attention.

A filosofia na era trágica dos gregos (1873) constitui um dos comentários mais importantes da filosofia pré-socrática. Escrito póstumo e inacabado, Nietzsche defende nele a tese de que os pensadores anteriores a Plato foram os unicos que ousaram compreender a dimenso tragica das forças que regem a vida dos homens. Ao contrario da filosofia posterior, no reduziram metafisicamente a realidade a dimenso do certo e do errado. Se costumamos atribuir a Socrates o inicio da filosofia, Nietzsche sugere aqui que talvez ela tenha justamente terminado com ele.

"The ends justify the means."What does it truly take to win and maintain power? In The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli strips away the pretenses of "noble" leadership to reveal the ruthless mechanics of governing. Dedicated to Lorenzo de Medici, this work serves as a practical handbook for a new ruler. Machiavelli argues that a successful prince must be as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a lion. He explores the delicate balance of Virtu (the ability of a leader) and Fortuna (the whims of fate), providing timelessand often shockingadvice on everything from managing advisors to the necessity of strategic cruelty.Realpolitik at Its Source: Machiavelli was the first to separate politics from traditional Christian ethics. He famously asks whether it is better to be loved or feared, concluding that while being both is ideal, if one must choose, it is "much safer to be feared than loved"as long as one avoids being hated.Virtu vs. Fortuna: The novel introduces the groundbreaking concept that a leaders success depends on their ability to adapt their character to the times. A prince must be flexible, prepared to act "against faith, against charity, against humanity" if the survival of the state is at stake.Why It Is Still Essential: From corporate boardrooms to modern campaign offices, The Prince remains the foundational text for understanding how the world actually works. It is a masterclass in strategy, human psychology, and the uncompromising logic of success.Master the art of the possible. Purchase "The Prince" today.

"Philosophy is not a trick for the public, it is for the soul."Seneca was a statesman, dramatist, and one of Romes wealthiest menyet he spent his final days writing these letters to his friend Lucilius on how to find true freedom. Moral Letters to Lucilius is a deep dive into the practical application of Stoicism.

Our America (Nuestra América, 1891) is one of José Martís most influential political and cultural essays. Written as a call to unity and self-awareness, the text urges the nations of Latin America to reject foreign domination and to build their future based on their own realities, histories, and identities. Marti argues that true independence requires more than political separation from colonial powersit demands intellectual and cultural emancipation. He criticizes Latin American elites who imitate European models without understanding the needs of their own people. Instead, Marti insists that governments must be rooted in local knowledge, shaped by the land, the traditions, and the diverse populations of the continent, including Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities. He warns that ignorance, internal division, and blind imitation create vulnerability to external intervention, especially from the growing power of the United States. Marti promotes education, justice, and dignity as essential foundations for national strength. His vision is not isolationist, but protective: Latin America must engage with the world without surrendering its identity. Combining poetic language with sharp political insight, Our America remains a timeless manifesto for sovereignty, cultural pride, and collective solidarity across the Americas.
