Albert Bandura’s ideas about the methods people use to avoid feeling guilty about harming others have led to valuable insights about many forms of mass violence, from wartime atrocities to terrorism and genocide. Happy Meat, Humane Animal Research, and Other Myths applies these insights to another form of mass violence: the many ways people harm animals. Each of the first eight chapters discusses how people use a particular method of moral disengagement to feel better about harming animals.

The Weight of Responsibility explores one of the most overlooked forces shaping human life: responsibility. Rather than treating responsibility as a moral duty or social expectation, this book examines it as the foundation of strength, freedom, meaning, and stability. It shows how the willingness to carry responsibility influences personal decisions, relationships, long-term happiness, and the direction of one’s life. Through clear and grounded reflection, the book reveals why avoidance leads to confusion and weakness, while responsibility creates coherence, resilience, and inner power.

What does it truly mean to live a meaningful life? Rather than presenting Frankl’s ideas as abstract theory, Viktor Frankl Dictionary unfolds them as living concepts rooted in freedom, responsibility, suffering, dignity, and the irreducible human search for meaning.

There is a sign on a wall at LaGuardia Community College in Queens, mounted above a narrow shelf. The sign bears the universal symbol for Deaf access. The shelf once held a TTY, a text telephone that gave Deaf people their first access to instantaneous distance communication. The TTY is gone. The smartphone replaced it. The sign is still there, pointing to something that no longer exists. That empty shelf is the governing image of this book, because the pattern it represents is the story of every technology Western civilization has worshipped for the past century. Something arrives.

Considerada uma das escolas filosóficas mais importantes da história, o estoicismo encontra-se mais vivo do que nunca nos dias de hoje. Para os estoicos, como Epicteto, Marco Aurélio e Sêneca, a busca da felicidade consiste em livrar-se das impressões apaixonadas dos sentidos e das emoções por meio do fortalecimento da vontade e da racionalidade. Antes, porém, de adentrar essa busca da virtude e prática da liberdade, é preciso conhecer seus pilares.

What if psychology’s greatest problem is not lack of data—but lack of structure? Psychology: A Constraint-First Ontology offers a radical yet accessible rethinking of the human mind. Drawing on systems theory, neuroscience, trauma research, and philosophy of science, this book proposes a unifying framework in which mental life is understood as the dynamic stabilization of constraints. Rather than treating disorders as isolated pathologies or the mind as a hidden substance, this work reframes identity, emotion, trauma, and healing as structural processes of coherence, collapse, and repair.

Every lie constructs a world. For as long as it is believed, that world is as real as any other, shaping decisions, emotions, and the trajectory of lives. In this deeply personal and intellectually ambitious book, Boris Kriger dismantles our assumptions about deception and rebuilds them from the ground up, revealing lying not as a simple moral failing but as a structural feature of how information moves between minds, whether those minds are human or artificial.

Quem somos? De onde viemos? Para onde vamos? Perguntas manjadas, é verdade. Mas quem nunca pensou nisso pelo menos uma vez na vida? O questionamento sobre nossa existência, origem e destino tem sido tema de profunda reflexão dos maiores pensadores da humanidade ao longo de três mil anos e, mais recentemente, dos cientistas. As perguntas são as mesmas desde que o homem começou a pensar. As respostas não. Muito pelo contrário.

Many insiders in the tech plex are deeply concerned about AI's trajectory—rightly seeing it as existential risk. Dr. Marc Gafni identifies two forms: the potential death of humanity through extinction events, and the potential death of our humanity. We become irrelevant to governance and economics, unneeded as workers, controlled by systems that shape our desires, stripped of genuine choice—heading toward a totalitarian global digital dictatorship. In this monograph, Dr. Marc Gafni offers a multilayered diagnosis of our AI moment—one that far exceeds technological concerns.

What does it mean for someone to "turn to the dark side"? Discover a profound real-world interpretation of the Star Wars saga, exploring the seminal story of how a good person can lose themselves and what it takes to bring them back. Through a close analysis of Episodes I–VI, the parallel arcs of Anakin and Luke Skywalker reveal how someone who feels too deeply can either surrender to fear and unresolved anger or rise above them.

We live in a time where lies feel normal, and truth feels risky. People repeat ideas they never questioned, and institutions bend reality to suit their needs. Society rewards silence, and punishes anyone who refuses to go along. In a world like this truth is no longer a simple habit. It is something you must guard, and something you must practice. It has become an art.
