Book Description
Nel 1851 escono i Parerga e paralipomena e Arthur Schopenhauer, all'età di 63 anni, dopo essere scampato all'epidemia di colera che uccise il suo "grande nemico" Hegel, riceve finalmente il successo che merita. Questo piccolo grande libro e uno dei tanti tesori contenuti nell'opera che lo rese famoso. Un libro di saggezza, che smaschera i nostri vizi più comuni: il lusso, l'ostentazione, la mondanità, il conformismo, la moda, e ci invita a coltivare la nostra personalità, la nostra formazione interiore come il bene principale dell'esistenza. Grande osservatore delle umane manie e avvincente narratore delle comuni vanità, Schopenhauer ci regala anche una brillante collezione di consigli e massime per cercare in noi stessi la fonte più autentica della felicità (Aonia edizioni).

Book Description
This issue of the 'philosophy of the city' includes articles by scholars on a range of human sciences, from media theory to aesthetics and architectural theory. Philosophy, social ontology, cultural anthropology, aesthetics, digital hermeneutics, media theory, cognitive science: these are just some of the disciplines that contribute to the philosophy of the city. This variety of approaches doesn't necessarily result in a chaotic mix. Many of the included forms of discourse belong to the same episteme, which means there are many connections and overlaps. This is true both in the literatures of reference and in the ways of answering the question of what 'the city' is. Secondly, the texts don't focus on the city itself, but on those who live in, design, imagine and think about it. Thirdly, because these texts create a place where different ideas can live together. This is like a city, where ideas change, are built on and then rebuilt. This is what Wittgenstein wrote about in his Philosophical Investigations.

Book Description
Cosa incarna lo spirito del Natale? È sacrificare la cosa più preziosa che si possiede per le persone che si amano? È ritrovare il calore di casa dopo un inverno senza fine? È accogliere a sé chi rimane nella povertà? O è lasciare da parte ogni egoismo? In un viaggio di storie di Natale di ogni epoca e luogo, undici racconti, scritti da autori senza tempo. Da storie dolci e commoventi e racconti di mistero e redenzione, fino ad arrivare a ironici aneddoti della Vigilia, una raccolta di classici da leggere sotto l’albero, tutto l’anno.
