In recent decades, the philosophy of humor has been recognized as a legitimate subfield of philosophy. The reason for this? Because to understand how humor works is to better understand the nature of human experience. In these 24 insightful, informative, illuminating, and (yes) humorous lectures, explore the philosophical theories and explanations of humor, from blatantly obvious puns to complex narratives to sly twists of language.

Anger is all around us, from divisive social media arguments and heightened political divides to road rage and personal spats; from Black Lives Matter and climate justice movements to Trump, incels and white supremacists. When it materialises, it seems to cry out for recognition and response. It affects our bodies and can transition into violence. It can be inherited through the generations; it can manifest in criminal acts. What should we do with it, and can it ever be put to good use?

Here, leading social philosopher Roman Krznaric unearths fascinating insights and inspiration from the last 1000 years of world history that could help us confront the most urgent challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century. From bridging the inequality gap and keeping AI under control, to reviving our faith in democracy and avoiding ecological collapse, History for Tomorrow shows that history is not simply a means of understanding the past but a way of reimagining our relationship with the future.

Henry at Work invites listeners to rethink how we work today by exploring an aspect of Henry David Thoreau that has often been overlooked: Thoreau the worker. John Kaag and Jonathan van Belle overturn the popular misconception of Thoreau as a navel-gazing recluse who was scornful of work and other mundanities. In fact, Thoreau worked hard—surveying land, running his family's pencil-making business, writing, lecturing, and building his cabin at Walden Pond—and thought intensely about work in its many dimensions.

La moda è uno strano incantesimo: ogni volta che ci vestiamo trasformiamo una qualunque forma o un qualunque colore del mondo che ci circonda nella nostra stessa pelle. È questa strana magia che fa di essa assieme l’arte più potente e più metafisica. Per parlarne è quindi necessario far coincidere la creazione e la filosofia. È quello che fanno Alessandro Michele ed Emanuele Coccia in questo trattato senza pari sull’alchimia delle forme della vita di tutte e tutti noi.

One of the most important and influential books of the past half-century, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance tells the iconic story of a father and son's motorcycle trip across America in the 1960s.

La sensibilidad no es un fenómeno nuevo; ocupa en la historia de nuestra sociedad un papel importante como motor del progreso civilizador. La urbanización y la tecnificación hacen al ser humano más sensible, porque al ampliarse el acceso a los derechos se agudiza también la percepción de las injusticias y de las vulneraciones que estas causan. Sin embargo, las posiciones al respecto se vuelven cada vez más rígidas: liberales e igualitarios, gente de derechas y de izquierdas, viejos y jóvenes, se enfrentan y propician una erosión creciente de la cultura democrática del discurso.

Can green capitalism save the planet? Is it even trying? Not when the very logic of the capitalist system pits it against Earth's life support systems, as the Japanese philosopher Kohei Saito demonstrates in one of the most astonishing bestsellers of recent times. Drawing on cutting-edge research across multiple disciplines, Saito shows how nothing but a transformation of our economic life can save us from climate collapse.

Byung-Chul Han si focalizza con particolare attenzione sul disagio dell'individuo tardo-moderno nella società odierna, caratterizzata dalla prestazione, dalla competizione e, soprattutto, dall'appiattimento delle contraddizioni e dal venir meno della negatività. Le analisi sviluppate mettono in luce, nello specifico, come l'ossessione dell'iperattività e la tendenza sempre piú forte al multitasking arrivino a produrre disturbi di natura depressiva e nevrotica.

As we emerge (though perhaps only temporarily) from the pandemic, other crises move center stage: outrageous inequality, climate disaster, desperate refugees, mounting tensions of a new cold war. The abiding motif of our time is relentless chaos.

Le texte qui suit fut rédigé en 1913, dans un contexte social et culturel marqué notamment par l'industrialisation de la France, l'émergence du modèle capitaliste en Occident et les changements profonds qu'implique le basculement d'un modèle de société vers un autre. Et c'est justement de la critique d'un système de représentation dont il est ici question, de la remise en cause d'une idéologie naissante qui place désormais l'argent au sommet des valeurs.

One of the world's most famous intellectual ghost stories, The Turn of the Screw is a haunting tale of suspected supernatural possession. A governess at a country house claims that Miles and Flora, two orphaned children in her care, are being controlled by spirits for some evil purpose. No one else can see the ghosts, and the children themselves are silent. Are they being dominated by spectral forces, or are they hiding something? Is the governess simply paranoid, or is something else going on?

Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa - das Gespenst des Kommunismus. Mit diesen Worten beginnt ein Text, der die Welt veränderte! Er endet mit dem bekannten Aufruf: "Proletarier aller Länder vereinigt euch!"

This brilliantly conceived book is based on a lecture course given by Dr. Leonard Peikoff in 1976 entitled, "The Philosophy of Objectivism". The lectures were attended by Ayn Rand, who helped prepare them and who also joined Peikoff in answering questions.

The Science of Rights (originally in German: Grundlage des Naturrechts nach Principien der Wissenschaftslehre) by Johann Gottlieb Fichte, was originally written in 1796 and later translated by Adolph Ernst Kroeger into English.

The world is encountering multiple crises—climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution. Capitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them—how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it—business—and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it.

الفرق بين الإنسان والحضارة والمفهوم المركب للإنسان.

إن الكتابة التي يتضمنها كتاب دوائر التحريم، كتابة مختلفة تفكر بمنطق التناقض الجدلي ولا تفكر بمنطق الهوية الصوري. إنها كتابة سالبة بالمعنى الذي كان يريده هربرت ماركيوز. وهي كتابة متمردة بالمعنى الوجودي. هي كتابة حرة وتلقائية وطفولية تقول ما تريده بالمعنى السوريالي، وهي كتابة متحررة من الأوهام والأصنام على طريقة نيتشة. ترفض كل نزعة أبوية تسلطية وكل مركزية سياسية أو لاهوتية وفقاً لتفكيكية جاك دريدا.
