The teachings of the great Chinese philosopher Confucius have had as great an impact on the culture of the Far East as The Bible has had on that of West. As they are presented here, "The Teachings of Confucius" consists of "The Analects," "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean." "The Analects" is the most important of the teachings of Confucius.

Occultism is not magic. It is comparatively easy to learn the trick of spells and the methods of using the subtler, but still material, forces of physical nature; the powers of the animal soul in man are soon awakened; the forces that his love, his hate, his passion, can call into operation are readily developed. But this is Black Magic–Sorcery. For it is the motive, and the motive alone, that makes any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic.

One of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century, Michel Foucault made an indelible impact on Western thought. The first three volumes in his History of Sexuality constitute some of Foucault's most important work. This fourth volume posits that the origins of totalitarian self-surveillance began with the Christian practice of confession. The manuscript had long been secreted away, in accordance with Foucault's stated wish that there be no posthumous publication of his unpublished work.

Ariel Burger first met Elie Wiesel at age 15. They studied together and taught together.

This book follows philosophy to the point where certainty no longer expands but instead reveals its boundaries. Beginning with the cogito not as a triumphant foundation but as a residue left after radical doubt, the text traces how attempts to ground existence, selfhood, consciousness, and reality repeatedly encounter structural limits. Animals, machines, simulated worlds, quantum theory, theology, and the self are examined not to extend certainty, but to show where and why it fails.

Why do we believe more than we can prove? Why does memory deceive us? Why do the most sophisticated artificial intelligence systems "hallucinate" false information? In Homo Credens, Boris Kriger reveals a profound truth about the nature of complex minds: any sufficiently complex system—whether human brain, animal cognition, or artificial intelligence—must believe far more than it can verify. This is not a limitation to be overcome but an architecture to be understood.

Half a century after Thomas Nagel asked what it is like to be a bat, humanity is on the verge of decoding thought, simulating empathy, and dissolving the last privacy of the mind. Yet the closer we come to perfect transparency, the less we understand what it means to feel. Beyond Objectivity is Boris Kriger’s philosophical meditation on this paradox. Moving from Plato’s cave to the algorithms of Neuralink, he traces the long exile of the observer from the world it seeks to describe. Objectivity has turned into its metaphysical tyranny, a dream of knowledge without witness.

For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by peace and freedom from fear, the absence of pain, and by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and evil; death is the end of both body and soul and should therefore not be feared; the gods neither reward nor punish humans; the universe is infinite and eternal; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms.

Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs verkörpern vier Philosoph:innen die Suche nach einem neuen Menschenbild und einer neuen Aufklärung: Theodor W. Adorno, Susan Sontag, Michel Foucault und Paul K. Feyerabend. Mit dem Ziel, die Welt besser zu verstehen und der lebensweltlichen Enge zu entfliehen, gehen sie zwischen Frankfurt, Paris, London, Berkeley und New York neue Wege, die direkt zu den großen Bruchlinien unserer Gegenwart führen. Wolfram Eilenberger legt erneut ein erzählerisches Meisterwerk vor, das Geschichte und Philosophie auf einzigartige Weise verbindet.

The Mirror Within the Mirror: Understanding Recursion as a Philosophical Key to Mind, Meaning, and Existence explores one of the most profound patterns in the universe: the principle of recursion. From the structure of the mind to the design of mathematics, from the flow of language to the evolution of society, recursion shapes how the world thinks, creates, and transforms itself. In this original and thought-provoking book from The Practical Atlas, recursion is examined not only as a mathematical or scientific concept but as a universal philosophical process. Through self-reference and ...
