Showing results for "Benjamin" in Philosophy

We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity, yet everywhere we see signs that our pursuit of happiness has proven fruitless. Dissatisfied, we seek change for the sake of change - even if it means undermining the foundations of our common life. In Why We Are Restless, Benjamin and Jenna Storey offer a profound and beautiful reflection on the roots of this malaise and examine how we might begin to cure ourselves.

Whether it’s brusque, convincing, fraught with emotion, or dripping with innuendo, language is fundamentally a tool for conveying meaning - a uniquely human magic trick in which you vibrate your vocal cords to make your innermost thoughts pop up in someone else’s mind. You can use it to talk about all sorts of things - from your new labradoodle puppy to the expansive gardens at Versailles, from Roger Federer’s backhand to things that don’t exist at all, like flying pigs.

Una fascinante reflexión sobre el caos y la locura a partir de teorías científicas, expresiones literarias y experiencias personales. ¿Lo real está más allá de nuestro alcance? ¿La verdad y la locura son síntomas de la misma enfermedad? Labatut utiliza un cuadro del Bosco, el terror atávico de Lovecraft, la lógica radical de David Hilbert y la delirante iluminación que tuvo Philip K. Dick para hablar de la extraña textura que está adquiriendo la experiencia humana.

Parce que la liberté n'est jamais un acquis, l'auteur de ces quelques pages restées célèbres nous rappelle avec justesse que si les démocraties modernes furent construites afin de promouvoir la liberté des individus citoyens, faut-il encore que ceux-ci ne se replient pas sur la défense de leurs intérêts particuliers et ne s'abstiennent pas de faire vivre cette citoyenneté au sein d'une démocratie à laquelle chacun doit s'efforcer de participer.

In einer Einbahnstraße gibt es keinen Gegenverkehr. Und von einer neuen Erkenntnis geht es nicht rückwärts! Walter Benjamins 'Einbahnstraße' führt an zahlreichen Denkanstößen entlang, hin zu richtungsweisenden Erkenntnissen - für jeden, der sich darauf einlässt. 'Einbahnstraße' ist zunächst einmal Kurzprosa - eine Sammlung von Gedanken, von Notizen, ein Kaleidoskop von literarisch-philosophischen Miniaturen, eine Präsentation von 'Denkbildern', essayistische Feinkost. Das 1928 erschienene Werk ist thematisch breit angelegt und hat viele Bezüge zu unserer aktuellen Gegenwart.

Human history is the story of symbols turning against their makers. Myths, laws, identities, each begins as a tool for survival, coherence, and meaning. But every symbol hardens. Every order closes. And when the lock tightens too far, collapse follows. The only thing that has ever broken the cycle is rupture. Visionaries, mystics, rebels, and neurodivergent minds have stepped outside the circle, cracked the mirror, and forced reality back in. Without them, every civilization would have suffocated in its own stories. Today, the lock-in is digital and global.

The Shape of Change introduces Dynamic Materialism and Adaptive Realism as two interwoven ways of understanding how living, technological, and social systems evolve within a world that is constantly shifting. Dynamic Materialism looks to the physical and structural forces that shape behavior, tracing the feedback loops, constraints, and emergent patterns that guide the growth of ecosystems, economies, and technologies.

Dans le deuxième tome du Deuxième Sexe, Beauvoir montre que les inégalités sexistes ne sont pas naturelles mais construites socialement et culturellement. Elle insiste sur le rôle des oeuvres d'art dans la formation des mentalités sexistes. Les oeuvres d'art nous déterminent-elles vraiment inconsciemment à être sexiste comme le dit Beauvoir? Ou peut-on résister à l'influence des oeuvres d'art sur nous? Ont-elles un si grand pouvoir sur nos pensées et nos actes, que ce soit en 1949 à l'époque de Beauvoir, ou aujourd'hui à l'époque des jeux vidéos et du rap? Dans cette émission...
