Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Dónde encontrar la verdad? ¿En las ciencias, en las religiones, en las artes? ¿En la razón humana? ¿O en la palabra divina? Y esta verdad que buscamos ¿es única o múltiple? ¿Existe de verdad o es una ilusión? Y si es una fábula, ¿a qué necesidad responde? Los filósofos siempre han dado vueltas a este tipo de preguntas porque sirven de hilo conductor a este viaje del pensamiento, desde Platón hasta nuestros días. Veinte episodios describen con claridad y amenidad estas aventuras de la verdad, en las que encontramos las figuras de Epicuro, Maquiavelo, Descartes, Espinoza, Voltaire, Rousseau, Kant, Marx y Nietzsche...

Download or read book Breve historia de la filosof a written by Johannes Hirschberger and published by Herder Editorial. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Al ser un manual breve ofrece la ventaja del bosquejo rápido, en el que los rasgos esenciales y el sentido del conjunto quedan vigorosamente destacados al prescindir de la multiplicidad de pormenores. No es propiamente una obra de consulta (a esto se presta la Historia de la filosofía, en dos tomos, del mismo autor), sino que sirve de iniciación en la materia. La misión del historiador no se agota en la simple exposición de las ideas filosóficas, sino que además debe invitar, desde su especial enfoque, a revivir el hecho histórico y a repensar los problemas y las doctrinas, contribuyendo a la formación filosófica general del lector. La finalidad que persigue el autor es sobre todo iniciar en el espíritu de la filosofía, ofreciendo una clara visión del proceso histórico que ha conducido al planteamiento de los problemas filosóficos y ha provocado la meditación sobre ellos.
Download or read book The Awakening of Latin America written by Ernesto Che Guevara and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic anthology on Latin America shows the Argentine-born revolutionary's cultural depth, rigorous intellect, and intense emotional engagement with a continent and its people. In a letter to his mother in 1954, a young Ernesto Guevara wrote, “The Americas will be the theater of my adventures in a way that is much more significant than I would have believed.” In The Awakening of Latin America we have the story of those adventures, charting Che’s evolution from an impressionable young medical student to the “heroic guerrilla,” assassinated in cold blood in Bolivia. Spanning seventeen years, this anthology draws on from his family’s personal archives and offers the best of Che’s writing: examples of his journalism, essays, speeches, letters, and even poems. As Che documents his early travels through Latin America, his involvement in the Guatemalan and Cuban revolutions, and his rise to international prominence under Fidel Castro, we see how his fervent commitment to social justice shaped and was shaped by the continent he called home.

Download or read book CONFUCIUS TO CONFUSING written by CALIXTO LÓPEZ HERNÁNDEZ and published by CALIXTO LÓPEZ HERNÁNDEZ. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CONFUCIUS TO CONFUSING I do not want to say categorically that we live in a time of extreme confusion, but a number of facts seem to corroborate the contrary. In a globalize world, wealth and welfare have not been equitably and evenly distributed among nations. The rulers do not always govern thinking about the well-being of their peoples. Corruption, that miserable evil has not been extirpated and champions for its respect in all spheres of human activity, especially in those of the public. The productive forces have reached a considerable degree of development capable of guaranteeing the basic material goods of the entire world population and yet in many countries the population is hungry, there are material needs of all kinds and many children die of malnutrition and curable diseases. Education and access to universal culture are not within everyone's reach. Nor does medical care reach all people. There is talk of ethics and morals and immoral positions are often adopted. The deception, the lie and the lack of honesty are shown daily in society. Humility, decorum, respects and human consideration is not what abounds. None of this is globalize and it is what we need to share and get to the most remote places on the planet. And it is not that doctrines or ethical principles have not been elaborated to address all the evils we have mentioned, on the contrary, the human spirit studied these problems from the earliest civilizations and in a universal sense. Proof of this is what we bring to you about one of the most prolific and ancient thinkers in history: The Chinese philosopher and philosopher Confucius, who more than 25 centuries ago developed a moral, educational and governance doctrine in order to achieve well-being Of all human beings regardless of their social, economic or caste status. This is why in a modest way we approach transcendental aspects of their doctrines that can guide us all in this age of real or apparent confusion. In short, more than 450 aphorisms of the celebrated Chinese philosopher and wise man are related to government, education, ethics, family, and justice, corruption, among others, all or almost all with full validity.
Download or read book The Philosophy of Zen Buddhism written by Byung-Chul Han and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen Buddhism is a form of Mahāyāna Buddhism that originated in China and is strongly focused on meditation. It is characteristically sceptical towards language and distrustful of conceptual thought, which explains why Zen Buddhist sayings are so enigmatic and succinct. But despite Zen Buddhism’s hostility towards theory and discourse, it is possible to reflect philosophically on Zen Buddhism and bring out its philosophical insights. In this short book, Byung-Chul Han seeks to unfold the philosophical force inherent in Zen Buddhism, delving into the foundations of Far Eastern thought to which Zen Buddhism is indebted. Han does this comparatively by confronting and contrasting the insights of Zen Buddhism with the philosophies of Plato, Leibniz, Fichte, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Heidegger and others, showing that Zen Buddhism and Western philosophy have very different ways of understanding religion, subjectivity, emptiness, friendliness and death. This important work by one of the most widely read philosophers and cultural theorists of our time will be of great value to anyone interested in comparative philosophy and religion.
