A work of striking originality, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then - diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions - continue to confront us today.  

Qui étaient vraiment les sophistes, ces maîtres de parole capables d'enthousiasmer la jeunesse athénienne et d'inquiéter Socrate, Platon ou Aristote ? Cet ouvrage clair et vivant dévoile l'univers de Protagoras, Gorgias, Hippias et Prodicos : leurs idées, leur influence et les débats décisifs qu'ils ont ouverts sur la vérité, la justice, la démocratie ou le pouvoir du langage. Entre relativisme, scepticisme et invention d'une nouvelle éthique, les sophistes ont posé les bases d'une pensée lucide et pragmatique, dont les échos résonnent encore aujourd'hui.

Philosophe discret menant une vie d'une régularité quasi légendaire, Emmanuel Kant n'en demeure pas moins l'un des penseurs les plus audacieux et les plus décisifs de l'histoire de la philosophie. En interrogeant radicalement les limites de la connaissance, les fondements de la morale et le sens de l'espérance humaine, il a bouleversé notre façon de penser et ouvert une voie nouvelle à l'autonomie intellectuelle. Cet ouvrage clair et accessible offre une introduction lumineuse à son œuvre.

The year is 1949. Theodor Adorno returns from New York to bombed-out Frankfurt, tasked with finding enlightenment from within ruin. Susan Sontag is reborn in San Francisco. Michel Foucault attempts suicide, again, in Paris. Paul Feyerabend, crippled by a war wound, recircles his native Vienna...

On the twenty-eighth of February, two thousand and twenty-six, an artificial intelligence system helped designate a girls' elementary school in the southern Iranian town of Minab as a military target. One hundred and sixty-eight people died, most of them schoolchildren. The system was working as designed. That is the problem. This book argues that the danger of artificial intelligence has been catastrophically misdiagnosed.

A reflection on everyday existence in the ‘sphere of consumption of late Capitalism’, this work is Adorno’s literary and philosophical masterpiece. Built from aphorisms and reflections, he shifts in register from personal experience to the most general theoretical problems.

With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern sciences of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of meaning and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths.

Hegel is regarded as one of the most influential figures on modern political and intellectual development. After painting Hegel's life and times in broad strokes, Peter Singer goes on to tackle some of the more challenging aspects of Hegel's philosophy. Offering a broad discussion of Hegel's ideas and an account of his major works, Singer explains what have often been considered abstruse and obscure ideas in a clear and inviting manner. 

From the author of The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence comes a moving, accessible, and ultimately hopeful series of meditations on the gifts and burdens of self-awareness. Whether we realize it or not, all of us experience the pain of self-awareness. In an age when we are aware of so...

"Philosophy is not a theory," asserted Austro-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), "but an activity." In this 1921 opus, his only philosophical work published during his lifetime, Wittgenstein defined the object of philosophy as the logical clarification of thoughts and proposed the solution to most philosophic problems by means of a critical method of linguistic analysis.

In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Gary Gutting presents a wide-ranging but nonsystematic exploration of some highlights of Foucault's life and thought. Beginning with a brief biography to set the social and political stage, he then tackles Foucault's thoughts on literature, in particular the avant-garde scene; his philosophical and historical work; his treatment of knowledge and power in modern society; and his thoughts on sexuality. 

The Conquest of Happiness (1930) is Bertrand Russell’s short, practical guide to living more happily in the modern world. Russell argues that much unhappiness comes from patterns of thought and social pressures—like envy, fear of opinion, boredom, and the obsessive pursuit of status—and that these can be unlearned.
