Every serious argument quietly chooses a reality. It chooses what counts as true, what exists for the purpose of the claim, and which moves of reasoning are allowed. Most of the time this choice remains unspoken, hidden behind familiar language and shared habits. The result is a persistent illusion of neutrality—an illusion that fuels endless disputes in mathematics, physics, and philosophy, not because the world is obscure, but because the rules of speaking about it remain concealed. The Choice of Realities dismantles this illusion.

He invented the way we reason — and almost no one noticed. Gottlob Frege lectured to empty chairs in a provincial German university and, in near-total obscurity, rebuilt the foundations of human thought. He created modern logic out of almost nothing. He made the first serious attempt to prove that all of arithmetic is logic in disguise. And along the way he taught the world how meaning works — why a single thing can be named in two different ways, why a sentence quietly points at truth, why some thoughts seem to belong to no one at all.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Most human suffering is not caused by strangers, but by those we hold closest. We often fall into the trap of "emotional flooding," where we prioritize others' needs and expect reciprocity, only to be met with indifference or betrayal. The Unspoken Laws...

Nesta obra, Nietzsche investiga o alcance efetivo da linguagem, sobre a qual se assenta todo o conhecimento da civilização ocidental. Para ele, a confiança do homem moderno no poder das palavras se funda no esquecimento de algo que era evidente quando as criou: elas são apenas uma metáfora para as coisas e jamais poderiam encarnar o seu significado.Esta obra foi ditada pelo autor a um amigo no verão de 1873, mas só foi publicada após a sua morte. A presente edição contém ainda uma seleta oportuna de Fragmentos póstumos.

Le mensonge est important. Nous nous mentons à nous-même et aux autres. Mais qu'est-ce qui nous pousse à dissimuler ou arranger la vérité à notre avantage ? Nous sommes imparfaits, pas aussi bons que nous le souhaiterions ou que nous le prétendons. L'intégration sociale nous oblige également à mentir car la vérité est source de problèmes et de conflits. Pour survivre et réussir, nous faisons semblant, avec les meilleures intentions. Mais attention! Le mensonge est bien trompeur. Quelles sont derrière les apparences, les diverses causes et formes du mensonge ?

Dangerous Jokes develops a novel, well-researched, and compelling argument that lays bare the power of demeaning jokes in ordinary conversations. Claire Horisk draws on her expertise in philosophy of language and on evidence from sociology, law, and cognitive science to explain how the element of humor—so often used as a defense—makes jokes more potent than regular speech in communicating prejudice and reinforcing social hierarchies.

The self-evident existence of reason, logic, and intelligibility are strong evidence for God. Reason is a human faculty that defines humanness and points to a rational universe. This in turn points to the principle of reason, or the "Logos" developed by Heraclitus and other Greek philosophers, and later by the Apostle John (1:1). Reason and its corollaries emerge like aspects of language and complement each other, like speaking and listening. Indeed, mutual communication works because of reciprocity, which is a root form of intelligibility.

Andrea Chapela, una de las grandes autoras jóvenes en nuestra lengua, empieza con esta confesión: "A mí la ciencia me parece bella y, al escribir, quiero explorar esa belleza." En los tres ensayos aquí incluidos, "El acto de ver a través", "El acto de verse" y "La historia de ver", los objetos de la minuciosa observación y animada curiosidad de la autora son, respectivamente, la ventana, el espejo y la luz.

Jam Tomorrow? recasts economics as a question of the balance between our needs and desires in the present and those of the future. This makes our changing perception of time a kind of invisible ink that links the micro to the macro, the past to the future, and that offers a new and challenging way of understanding the relationship between value, price, money and credit.

This short book covers topics ranging from personality styles (how some personality styles rub people the wrong way) to communication (which almost always goes wrong) and lack of common sense. Chapter 10 is an "Acting Lesson" that challenges you to change (but only for 15 minutes a day). This thought-provoking book emphasizes that you must shut up and listen to be a leader people will follow.

La característica más específica de nuestra especie, la que nos diferencia del resto de los animales, es la capacidad de aprender y usar lenguas, y para ello es necesario que cuente con un cerebro lleno de palabras. Desde que nos despertamos hasta que nos acostamos vivimos, convivimos y nos comunicamos a través de las palabras.
