Every time we think ahead, we are crafting a story. Every daily plan and every political vision, social movement, scientific hypothesis, business proposal, and technological breakthrough starts with “what if?” Linking causes to effects, considering hypotheticals and counterfactuals, asking how other people will react: these are the essence of narrative. So why do we keep overlooking story’s importance to intelligence in favor of logic?

In this highly original book, Russell Blackford discusses the intersection of science fiction and humanity’s moral imagination. With the rise of science and technology in the 19th century, and our continually improving understanding of the cosmos, writers and thinkers soon began to imagine futures greatly different from the present. Science fiction was born out of the realization that future techno-scientific advances could dramatically change the world.

In this startling study of human emotion, Dacher Keltner investigates an unanswered question of human evolution: If humans are hardwired to lead lives that are "nasty, brutish, and short," why have we evolved with positive emotions like gratitude, amusement, awe, and compassion that promote ethical action and cooperative societies? Born to Be Good takes us on a journey through scientific discovery, personal narrative, and Eastern philosophy.

In The Science of Good and Evil, psychologist and science historian Michael Shermer explores how humans evolved from social primates into moral primates, how and why morality motivates the human animal, and how the foundation of moral principles can be built upon empirical evidence. Along the way he explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans.

Story0
In Changing How We Choose, David Redish makes a bold claim: science has "cracked" the problem of morality. Redish argues that moral questions have a scientific basis, and that morality is best viewed as a technology—a set of social and institutional forces that create communities and drive cooperation. This means that some moral structures are better than others and that the moral technologies we use have real consequences on whether we make our societies better or worse places for the people living within them.

Can we human beings agree on a set of values which will allow us to confront the numerous threats that we and our planet face? Or will we continue our disagreements, rivalries, and antipathies, even as we collectively approach what, in the not impossible extreme, might be extinction? To answer these questions, A. C. Grayling considers the three most pressing challenges facing the world: climate change, technology, and justice.

Story2
Traditional economics measures the ways in which we spend our income, but doesn't attribute worth to the crucial human interactions that give our lives meaning. Clair Brown, an economics professor at U.C. Berkeley and a practicing Buddhist, has developed a holistic model, one based on the notion that quality of life should be measured by more than national income. Brown advocates an approach to organizing the economy that embraces rather than skirts questions of values, sustainability, and equity.

Skeptics believe we don’t need God to understand reality, and that science and reason hold the keys to building a better world. Faith is blind, and there is no credible evidence for God’s existence - especially the God of the Bible. Therefore, science and religious belief are deeply incompatible, and God is no longer relevant to our modern world. But if there is no God, how can our lives have any meaning? How can we make sense of good and evil, truth, justice, beauty, rationality, or even science itself?

In Narcissists from Mars and Venus, Boris Kriger reveals that the devastating cycle of idealization, devaluation, and discard that characterizes narcissistic relationships is not a mystery of individual pathology but an emergent property of a dynamical system — a pattern that arises whenever five structural conditions are met. The same pattern governs thermostats, authoritarian regimes, cults, corporate hierarchies, addiction, and algorithmic platforms. The equations are identical. Only the variable names change.

Story0
To be seen is not vanity. It is one of the oldest human hopes: to be listened to, welcomed, and counted among others. Every community teaches its members how to appear — when to speak, how to be noticed, what kind of presence is rewarded. Visibility offers warmth, recognition, and legitimacy. It also exacts a price. This audiobook begins from a simple intuition: that the desire for recognition is neither trivial nor corrupt. But it asks what happens when being seen becomes not a consequence of living well, but a condition of belonging itself.

Does free will exist? The question has fueled heated debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. To put it in the simple terms that have come to dominate these debates, if we are free to make our own decisions, we are accountable for what we do, and if we aren't free, we're off the hook.

Five centuries ago, Niccolò Machiavelli wrote a book that still disturbs us. The Prince offered rulers a cold calculus of power: how to acquire it, how to maintain it, how to eliminate threats not by hope or goodwill but by making one’s overthrow structurally impossible. In this profound meditation on security, systems, and the nature of protection, Boris Kriger confronts his own ambivalence toward Machiavelli’s legacy. He is horrified by the cruelty the Florentine counseled—and captivated by the logic beneath it.

Mais cette « grande pagaille » ne provient pas seulement des machines. Elle révèle une mutation profonde de l'humanité elle-même. Et si, en fin de compte, il fallait considérer le tri entre vrai et faux comme une affaire avant tout morale ? Une enquête philosophique claire et nécessaire sur l'étrange époque où nous basculons.

There are strategies that can help, which Dr. Oughourlian has prescribed successfully to his patients.
