"Il mondo si divise in due emisferi distinti e separati: da una parte c'erano quelli a cui piaceva di più ragionare, e dall'altra quelli a cui piaceva di più credere." Così Luciano De Crescenzo presenta il nuovo volume della "Storia della filosofia", dedicato al Sei e al Settecento.

Nasceva una nuova filosofia, che aveva un suo modello, fornito dalla matematica e dalla geometria.

This central idea has become the unspoken founding principle of our modern way of life in the free Western democracies. This audiobook is an expert account of J.S. Mill’s life and philosophical ideas.

Most of us experience the world through competing perspectives. A job or a religion seems important and fulfilling when looked at in one way; but from a different angle they seem tedious or ridiculous. A friend is obtuse from one point of view, wise from another. Continuing to hold both views at once can be unsettling, highlighting conflicts between our own judgments and values, and undermining our ability to live purposefully and effectively. Yet, as Jennifer Church argues in this book, inner conflict can be a good thing.
