Una nueva vacuna mental para combatir la adicción y ganar libertad en una sociedad diseñada para engancharnos. Una auténtica revolución educativa, científica y personal.Si queremos ser libres, ¿por que nos enganchamos a aquello que constantemente nos lo impide? ¿Podemos conseguirlo en una sociedad adicta? ¿Nos pueden ayudar la ciencia y la filosofia?Jose Antonio Marina disecciona el fenomeno de la adiccion desde sus raices mas profundas en la biologia, la cultura y la psicologia.

Una obra urgente para una sociedad cada vez mas adictiva. Un llamamiento claro a la prevencion y, asi, regular nuestros impulsos, entender que nos empuja a buscar estimulos constantes y fortalecernos antes de que la dependencia se imponga.

Una edición inédita de la obra completa conservada de Epicuro y una preciosa entrada a la filosofía de la libertad, la serenidad y el pensamiento crítico.Epicuro fue uno de los filósofos antiguos más influyentes y determinantes. Durante siglos silenciado y mal comprendido, representa la sintesis del ideal moderno de felicidad terrenal, lejos del miedo y la esperanza de la supersticion. La suya es una filosofia que se concibe como medicina del alma, como serenidad sin dioses, cultivo de la razon que busca el placer en comunidad y del bien mas supremo: la amistad. A traves de una nueva traduccion anotada que ilustra el recorrido vital e intelectual del sabio de Samos, David Hernandez de la Fuente nos acerca a un epicureismo vivo, transmitido a lo largo de los siglos como un logos capaz de liberar al ser humano de la angustia y conducirlo hacia una vida plena y acorde con la naturaleza, Las puertas del Jardin estan abiertas a todo aquel que, entre amistad, conocimiento y felicidad, quiera encontrar una practica filosofica para nuestro tiempo.

Un libro que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la eterna lucha entre irracionalidad utópica y pragmatismo político, extremismo y democracia.Desde su nacimiento, hace unos pocos siglos, la democracia moderna atrajo los ataques de los partidarios de las utopias, que pedian formas de sociedad politica supuestamente mejores y mas avanzadas, cuando no perfectas. Hoy mismo, los extremistas de derecha e izquierda siguen creyendo que la democracia realmente existente, o democracia liberal, es un sistema falso e injusto que deberia ser sustituido por una democracia autentica (que puede ser llamada socialista, popular o nacional).Tras desgranar las bases sobre las que se asienta la democracia liberal, este libro explora los ataques que los intelectuales utopicos han lanzado contra ella, desde la Revolucion francesa hasta nuestros dias, y analiza los errores ideologicos que, dentro de la propia democracia, se han utilizado como argumentos para sustentar estos ataques en aspectos como las religiones civiles, el racismo o la eugenesia.Una vision clarificadora que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la eterna lucha entre irracionalidad utopica y pragmatismo politico, extremismo y democracia.

Angélica Velasco Sesma, doctora en Filosofía y referente del ecofeminismo en España, nos invita a recuperar la ternura y la compasión como actos radicales de resistencia frente a un mundo violento. Una defensa apasionada del cuidado como fuerza transformadora.La ternura tambien puede ser una forma de rebeldia.Vivimos en un mundo que celebra la fuerza, la productividad y la competencia, pero desprecia la vulnerabilidad y el cuidado. En este ensayo tan lucido como visceral, la filosofa Angelica Velasco, una de las voces mas destacadas del ecofeminismo español, propone repensar nuestra relacion con las personas, los animales y el planeta desde una ternura a lo bestia: una ternura feroz, consciente y valiente, que no se deja domesticar.A partir de su experiencia personal, su formacion filosofica y su compromiso activista, Velasco reivindica el cuidado, la compasion y la no violencia como principios eticos y politicos capaces de transformar el mundo. Con un estilo apasionado y accesible, la autora reflexiona sobre los vinculos que nos sostienen, el dolor que negamos y la urgencia de reconstruir una etica comun mas alla del androcentrismo y del antropocentrismo.Ternura a lo bestia es una invitacion a vivir de otro modo: a cuidar sin miedo, a resistir desde la empatia y a recuperar el poder de lo fragil como una fuerza revolucionaria.

El posthumanismo pretende lo mismo que el bíblico rey Nimrod: construir en el aire tenue del futuro un andamiaje para que la humanidad pueda saltar desde esa plataforma a lo divino, sea para competir con los dioses o para convertirse en ellos. Pero el discurso posthumano no es de reciente aparicion. La herencia de Nimrod: Posthumanismo y literatura pretende hilvanar una urdimbre comun a este discurso y la obra de autores aparentemente disimbolos: H. P. Lovecraft, Yukio Mishima, Ernst Junger, Joyce Carol Oates, Michel Houellebecq y Pablo Soler Frost. En este ensayo se describe la energia que recorre e ilumina el sendero que estos artistas han trazado en la lucha entre la carne humana y su apoteosis, la trascendencia mas alla de las barreras de lo organico, como si sus obras fueran la argamasa, los cimientos, contrafuertes y columnas de una torre maldita que se eleva para increpar a un dios ausente.

Rediscover Humanitys Worth Through Christs Incarnation In our rapidly changing world, we face a rising tide of threats to our humanity. From artificial intelligence and the erosion of free speech to bioengineering and euthanasia, the humanistic values we cherish, like intrinsic human rights and the dignity of all persons, are increasingly at risk. We are in danger of losing our humanity without even realizing it.In response to such challenges in the past, Christian thinkers like Irenaeus, Luther, Bonhoeffer, Merton, and more rallied around the ideas of Christian humanism. But what is Christian humanism and why does it matter in this day and age? What Is Christian Humanism? is an inviting introduction to how humanistic values rooted in the incarnation of Jesus Christ can help us reclaim our humanity in all of life. Theologian Jens Zimmermann shows why "Christian" and "humanist" not only belong together, but argues that true humanism flows directly from the gospel and is impossible without Christianity.In What Is Christian Humanism? Zimmermann: defines Christian humanism as the greater Christian traditions interpretation of the gospel as Gods promise that we will achieve our full humanity in Christ; provides an inviting introduction to the ideas and history of the Christian humanist tradition and why it matters today; argues that the incarnation of Christ is central to understanding what it means to be human, offering an alternative to secular humanism; and demonstrates how Christian humanism can address the challenges in different areas of society, like art, technology, politics, and more. Perfect for those seeking a fresh way to engage the challenges of our day, this book demonstrates that our identity is found not in secular philosophies, but in Christs revolutionary act of the Incarnation. Christian humanism can help us recover the vision of what it means to be and become fully human in Christ, more important now than ever.

Sunday at 11 a.m. remains Americas most segregated hourbut healing wont happen in the pews alone. In this timely and hopeful book, pastor Nathan Walton calls readers to embrace a multiethnic lifestyle between Sundays. He argues that its not enough to have a diverse-looking church if we live separate lives the rest of the week. When advocacy for justice doesnt lead to relationship, and when diversity is performative rather than embodied, true multiethnicity remains elusive.Embodying Gods Multiethnic Kingdom offers practical steps toward unity without uniformity and diversity without division through an accessible framework for living out reconciliation in your daily rhythms, moving beyond performance to authentic, life-giving community. Youll learn how a multiethnic lifestyle, though challenging, is both possible and necessary for Christians.This book walks through Waltons Four Rs of Multiethnic Living: Residence: Where we live impacts our capacity to become rooted in diverse communities. Recreation: The way we live our social lives affects our ability to pursue multiethnicity. Resources: We can use our resources in ways that promote racial justice. Religion: Pursuing a united, multiethnic church is affected by the way we interact with Christians across demographic differences. Embodying Gods Multiethnic Kingdom is for pastors, church leaders, and everyday Christians who desire to see a more unified church but feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to start. Whether you serve from the pulpit or the pew, this book equips you to live out reconciliation in everyday life and reflect the beauty of Gods kingdom across every line that divides us.

What is power, and what is the crowd? How do the two relate to each other? Crowds and Power is a striking and unclassifiable study of how human beings behave in groups and how collective forces shape history. Rejecting conventional sociology, 1981 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Elias Canetti creates a unique framework that draws on anthropology, mythology, psychology, history, psychoanalysis and literature to explain why crowds form, how they act and what makes them so powerful. Drawing on his experiences in Vienna in the 1930s and a range of material spanning centuries and every continent, Canetti offers insights into the psychology of the crowd, the variety of religious experience, the paranoia of rulers and the pathology of power. A visionary and provocative book, Crowds and Power is a major work illuminating the forces driving mass movements and offers one of the most profound and startling portraits of the human condition ever written.

From the author of the global bestseller The Secret History of the World comes an epic new history of the relationship between spiritual belief and cutting-edge science.Jonathan Black shows that from Marie Curie to todays architects of AI, many of our greatest scientists have been guided by secret, mystical and higher teachings towards an understanding of the universe familiar to the builders of the pyramids of Giza or the Temple at Jerusalem. He explores how these discoveries, foreshadowed and paralleled by geniuses including Carl Gustav Jung and Hilma af Klint, raise deep and urgent questions about our understanding of the universe.Is the material universe we perceive with our senses an illusion?Is a higher intelligence directing it?Are events in the future already fixed?How does modern physics show we are all connected in ways old science said were impossible?Are different kinds of intelligence - divine and less benevolent - emerging around us?This is the science hardline atheists dont want you to know about.

Does a doughnut hole exist? What makes a sandwich a sandwich? Can the baker, who only bakes for those who dont bake for themselves, bake for herself?Using food to explore classic philosophical puzzles and paradoxes about how we know things, abstract ideas about our world, language and about how we define the truth, this book will get your brain whirring and your stomach grumbling.Suki Finn, a Philosophy Lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London, serves up plenty of philosophical food for thought - enough to whet the appetite of the novice and to satisfy philosophers hungry for a different take on familiar themes. Whats in a Doughnut Hole? gives us new ways to think about the world and to understand our place in it.
