Essays on Philosophy, Praxis and Culture

- An Eclectic, Provocative and Prescient Collection
Af: Lou Marinoff Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser

This collection provides a panoramic view of practical philosophical insight, ranging across a spectrum of humanistic themes. These essays cast light on our perennially imperfect human condition. The collection ranges from Alfred Korzybski''s general semantics; Thomas Mann''s prognosis for Western civilization; Hume''s moral skepticism applied to globalization; Jungian synchronicity and encounters with Irvin Yalom; J.S. Mill''s harm principle applied to cyberspace; Ayn Rand''s prophetic apocalypse; philosophical practice as Dadaist activism; humanities-based therapies as remedies for culturally induced illnesses; biological roots of human conflict; deconstruction and critique of "sustainable development"; dangers and detriments of over-digitalized and hyper-virtualized lifestyles and learning methods; and calls for the re-emergence of philosophy from inactive academic entombment to pro-active modes of personal guidance, social influence, consumer advocacy, and political engagement.

A unifying claim of this anthology is the cautionary tale that humanity''s recurrent and conflict-ridden predicaments are only exacerbated by myopic analyses, toxic ideologies, and expedient prescriptions. While philosophy is scarcely a panacea for human afflictions, its proper exercise illuminates our understanding of them, thereby suggesting better as opposed to worse ways forward.
