Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Samsara means the continuous flow of births, lives, deaths, and rebirths. Buddhist teachings assert that all sentient beings are trapped in a recurring cycle and that suffering is a universal characteristic of them. The ultimate aim of dharma, the truth about what remains below the appearance of reality, is to allow human beings to evade Samsara and reach Nirvana, the final liberation from illusion and suffering. Among the tools for achieving this goal, Buddhism prescribes meditation, compassion, and the cultivation of wisdom to overcome ignorance. We, humans, have an inexhaustible craving for justification, and words, thoughts, and reasoning are the tools we have to communicate. That's why we create philosophies as intellectual substitutes for experience. Yet this is a poor substitution because we attempt to speak about the unspeakable and to intellectually grasp what can only be achieved through an uncommunicable experience. That's not an intellectual endeavor, even though the repeated attempts by many Buddhist masters to justify their teachings culminated in a sophisticated philosophical construction whose understanding is far from trivial. It harbors a paradox: if reality as we perceive it is unreal, everything we may know is flawed by an intrinsic imperfection, and even we ourselves, the knowers, are not what we may imagine to be. That subtlety explains why engaging with the tenets of Buddhist teachings may appear convoluted, paradoxical, or nonsensical: they seek to convey something that must be experienced rather than described. Then, metaphorical narratives, or paradoxical questions, are often the best way to convey a kind of knowledge that, being reasonable, looks irrational. This book is a tentative offering of some reflections on and around these issues.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Experiencias ocultas es un texto singular dentro de la obra de Thomas Mann y un documento poco común de la historia intelectual del siglo XX. Publicado en 1924, el ensayo relata la participación directa del escritor en sesiones de materialización de espíritus, llevadas a cabo como investigación científica por el médico alemán Albert von Schrenck-Notzing, con el entonces célebre médium Willy Schneider.Lejos de cualquier ficción o fantasía literaria, Mann describe sesiones experimentales rigurosamente controladas, realizadas a plena luz, con registros fotográficos y supervisión médica, en las que se producían fenómenos de materialización, telequinesis y emisión de ectoplasma. El interés del texto no reside en una descripción sensacionalista de los fenómenos, sino en la reacción intelectual del propio autor: un racionalista convencido, profundamente vinculado a la tradición humanista e ilustrada, confrontado con acontecimientos que no lograba explicar -y que lo perturbaban hondamente-.Mann no se adhiere al espiritismo, no valida interpretaciones religiosas ni ofrece explicaciones metafísicas. Por el contrario, insiste en la idea de que se trata de fuerzas naturales aún desconocidas, rechazando tanto la credulidad como la negación automática. Experiencias ocultas es, así, un testimonio de crisis: el momento en que la razón moderna reconoce sus límites sin abdicar de sí misma.La presente edición hace plena justicia a ese carácter liminar. La presentación y notas de Ubiratan Machado se distinguen por una sobriedad ejemplar y por un rigor histórico poco frecuente. La traducción preserva el tono original de Mann -preciso, irónico, inquietante- sin 'corregirlo' ni instrumentalizarlo al servicio de doctrina alguna. Las notas contextualizan a las figuras, los debates científicos y el ambiente cultural de la época, permitiendo al lector comprender la importancia histórica de las sesiones de Schrenck-Notzing y el lugar singular que ocupó Willy Schneider en la investigación metapsíquica europea.Breve en extensión pero denso en contenido, Experiencias ocultas es simultáneamente un relato de sesiones de materialización tratadas como ciencia, un documento histórico de la investigación psíquica y un ensayo sobre los límites de la razón moderna. Un libro discreto, exigente y perturbador -presentado en una edición que privilegia la fidelidad textual, la precisión histórica y el respeto absoluto por el lector. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Will and Representation traces two of philosophy's oldest and most entangled ideas - the human faculty of willing and the mind's power to represent the world to itself - across twenty-five centuries and two civilizational traditions. Opening with Aristotle's fourfold psychology of desire and closing amid the paradoxes of Buddhist no-self, the book follows the will as it hardens into Augustine's divided soul, is legislated by Kant's autonomous reason, dissolves into Hume's bundle of impressions, and finally becomes, in Schopenhauer's cosmic Will, the blind striving beneath all appearance. Alongside it, in a second and equally sustained history, representation is born in medieval canon law, transformed by Descartes and Kant into the very medium of experience, and unraveled by Saussure, Foucault, and Baudrillard into a play of signs answerable to nothing beyond itself.The book's central claim is that these two histories are not accidentally parallel. They reproduce, at every turn, a single deep division in Western thought - between a rationalist-realist tradition that treats mind as answerable to reason and to a stable reality, and a naturalist-skeptical tradition that treats mind as a natural event reason can narrate but never command - a division the author traces back to the first quarrel in Greek philosophy, between Parmenides's unchanging Being and Heraclitus's ceaseless flux. In its final chapter, the book puts this architecture to an unusual test, turning to the Sa?khya, Vedanta, and Buddhist traditions that Schopenhauer himself named as confirmation of his own philosophy, to ask whether the same fault line appears - or breaks down - outside the West altogether.Rigorously argued and unusually wide in range, Will and Representation is at once a history of two philosophical concepts and an argument about the shape philosophical disagreement itself tends to take, wherever the mind turns to examine its own activity.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first volume of The Human Phenomenon asked what it is to be a subject. This one asks a harder question: once you have an inner life, how do you ever come to know a world you share with other people - and what actually entitles you to call that knowledge The book follows a single mind across eight chapters, from the moment it first recognizes something as 'the same' - a thread traced from Plato through Douglas Hofstadter's theory of analogy - to the elaborate machinery of consensus by which a scientific community, or a whole society, agrees that something is true. Along the way he gives 'sameness' itself an exact logical form, reconstructs and then deliberately pushes past Jürgen Habermas's theory of truth, and extends the result from the laboratory all the way down to the common sense, and the everyday morality, that actually run a life.Russell, Peirce, Kant, Kuhn, Gellner, Berger and Luckmann, Wittgenstein, Mackie: the conversation is wide, but the argument is one continuous line, not a survey - and each chapter stages the disagreement openly, letting a Defender and a Critic fight it out before the author renders judgment.For readers who want epistemology that takes a stand, philosophy that treats cognitive science as evidence rather than décor, and abstraction that pays its way in the ordinary business of a life.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Opinion is the quietest of human freedoms, and the first to disappear. Long before a censor silences a press or a mob cancels a name, something more intimate collapses: the ordinary confidence that one may be wrong out loud, in front of others, without forfeiting one's place among them.The Demise of Opinion follows that freedom from its origins in the dialogical exchange between speakers who trust each other enough to disagree, through the print revolution that first made a plurality of belief survivable, to the mass-media age in which opinion could be manufactured as readily as it was expressed. It traces how ideology grounds belief, how the public conversation is set and shaped, and how the very tools that built the modern public sphere have learned to unbuild it.The final chapters descend into the record itself: the blasphemy statutes that still carry the death penalty in eight countries; the total states - Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, North Korea, China, Cuba - that made the mere holding of a view a capital matter; and, closer to home, the newer and quieter mechanism by which opinion now dies in societies that never passed a law against it at all - a lost job, a canceled lecture, a doxxing campaign, an arrest for a tweet. Two histories, one grammar: wherever a person may no longer safely be wrong, opinion - fallible, plural, correctable by definition - has already ceased to exist in anything but name.Written across several years and drawing on phenomenology, the sociology of knowledge, and a consensualist theory of truth built out of and beyond Habermas, this is a philosophical argument pursued with a historian's appetite for the concrete case. It asks a single question with an urgency that will only grow: what, exactly, are we prepared to do to keep the space in which we may be wrong from closing any further.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What does it mean to be someone - a single, continuous self, moving through moods you didn't choose, desires you can't fully explain, and relationships that keep mistaking you for the group you belong to This book begins where philosophy so often refuses to: inside. It starts with the subject's own lived experience - feeling, mood, desire, attitude - before that experience has been sorted, moralized, or turned into a social fact, and asks what a rigorous account of inner life would actually look like if it were held to the same discipline we normally reserve for the outer world. Drawing on Habermas and Luhmann, Merleau-Ponty and Russell, Donald Hoffman and Alasdair MacIntyre - and breaking with all of them where the argument demands it - the book builds outward from raw subjectivity to the attitudes we take toward one another, the fault lines of desire and its normativization, and finally to a five-part theory of identity supple enough to explain why the same person can be, at once, a name on a docket, a face a spouse recognizes, and a capacity no résumé has yet caught up with.This is not a survey of what others have said about the self. It is an argument - patient, technical where it needs to be, personal where it counts - that the hardest questions about who we are can be answered with the same seriousness we bring to anything else worth knowing.For readers of philosophy of mind, social theory, and the phenomenological tradition who want an argument that actually commits to a position rather than merely mapping the disagreement. …
