A rational alternative to spirituality and self-help
2022 || Paperback || Richard van der Linde || Brave New Books
Our beliefs are the lenses through which we perceive life. In turn, those beliefs are influenced by our perception of previous experiences. So, what if we accidentally misperceive something?
When you misperceive what you experience, it clouds the lens through which you perceive later experiences, which makes it more likely you misperceive those experiences as well. With such a series of clouded lenses, it’s only a matter of time before you run into real-life problems or dilemmas that appear...

To Be Good or Not To Be
2016 || Paperback || Richard Livingstone || Brave New Books || met inkijkexemplaar
It's the idea of Plato: our soul/mind (whatever we call it) can be viewed as two horses: one, very beautiful, the other not. And we are sitting on the carriage and have to manage the two horses in order to work together... This may be the reason why we can be happier than animals, but also the reason why we can be much more sad than them Also it is the reason why only we humans have religions.
Ideas of Spock, Hirgoyen, Plato, Aristoteles, Heidegger, Miller, the Script, the Beatles... And a d...

Some of these appear to be productive and sustainable, at least for a certain time. Relatively recently in the evolutionary process, `intelligence' has arisen as the most effective driving force of evolution, for better or worse. The book aims at exploring what the ...

2021 || Paperback || Leo Feyaerts || Brave New Books || met inkijkexemplaar

Those who proclaim as their unshakeable conviction that man (= every human being) is only consciousness, as the most famous structuralists and Derrida with in their wake the deconstructionists do, and that consequently only subj...
