"The Ship of Theseus If you change every part are you still the same person?" takes a classic thought experiment from Greek philosophy and applies it to modern personal development. The paradox asks: If you replace every wooden plank of a ship one by one until no original parts remain, is it still the same ship? And if you save the old parts and build a second ship, which one is the original?Philosopher Julian Wise connects this to human biology and psychology. Since our cells regenerate and our beliefs change, we are constantly being "replaced." The book argues that clinging to a fixed identity ("I am just not a math person") is a fallacy because the "you" of yesterday is biologically dead."The Ship of Theseus" is a tool for radical reinvention. It liberates readers from their past by proving that continuity is an illusion. It encourages the conscious rebuilding of the self, plank by plank, without fear of losing ones essence.

Durante el siglo XX, y particularmente en Espana y en Hispanoamerica, el pensamiento catolico experimento una fructuosa efervescencia, una ardorosa vivificacion gracias a la cual, sobre la base de tradiciones intelectuales firmemente asentadas, acontecieron sorprendentes innovaciones, aires nuevos y giros genuinos.Este rebullir intelectual y academico de la reflexion catolica no se consagro principalmente a la teologia revelada, sino que se fajo alli donde libraban batalla sus mas belicosos contendientes: en la politica, en el derecho, en la teoria del conocimiento, en la metafisica.Esta obra expone las aportaciones teoricas de los mas importantes protagonistas de este resurgimiento: Francisco Elias de Tejada, Juan Vallet de Goytisolo, Osvaldo Lira, Francisco Canals, Alvaro dOrs, Jose Maria Petit Sulla, Leopoldo Eulogio Palacios y Rafael Gambra Ciudad.Y lo hace de la mano de la voz autorizada de varios de sus discipulos directos: Jose Miguel Gambra Gutierrez, Miguel Ayuso Torres y Enrique Martinez Garcia, acompanados en esta empresa por voces mas jovenes, pero no menos esclarecedoras.

Este libro ofrece al lector en lengua espanola el primer comentario integral a los celebres Tres discursos para ocasiones supuestas de Sren Kierkegaard.Angel Enrique Garrido Maturano no articula esta tarea por los senderos previsibles: no elabora un estudio filologico, asentado sobre las bases de la vieja critica textual, que sea rico en detalle positivos sobre fuentes, influencias, variantes, etc.; pero tampoco nos ofrece a contracorriente de ciertas lecturas de los textos del filosofo danes un relato edificante, confesionalmente concernido, sobre una cierta modulacion del cristianismo por la que se abogaria.La intencion del autor es, por el contrario, enteramente filosofica: su lectura indaga, de modo fenomenologico y no confesional, en las tres situaciones decisivas de la existencia con las que se confronta y nos confronta el pensamiento de Kierkegaard: el tener que reconocerse a si mismo tal cual uno es, expresado en la confesion, el amor al otro tal cual ese otro es, expresado en el matrimonio, y la muerte inexorable.

El Concilio de Nicea es un evento teológico que marcó un antes y después en la historia de la Iglesia. Lo marcó porque era el primer concilio ecuménico del cristianismo y lo marcó también porque el tema dilucidaba la deidad de Cristo. En realidad, fue el inicio de una serie de seis concilios que provoco la reunion de los obispos de la Iglesia para fundamentar con solidez tan intrincado dogma.Asi que en 2025 estamos conmemorando los 1700 años de su celebracion en la ciudad de Nicea, a unas pocas millas de Estambul, antiguamente llamada Constantinopla. Para la conmemoracion de aquel historico acontecimiento, la revista BYTH ha dedicado todo su undecimo primer numero a dicho concilio. i. Presentacion1.

"The Malice Myth Why people are usually clumsy not evil" is a practical guide to applying "Hanlons Razor": Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. We are biologically wired to detect threats, so when someone cuts us off in traffic or ignores an email, we assume they are out to get us. In reality, they are likely just distracted, tired, or incompetent.Philosopher Ian Calm explains how this "paranoid default" destroys relationships and increases stress. The book provides mental exercises to reframe negative interactions. By assuming "ignorance before evil," we de-escalate conflicts and detach our ego from the situation."The Malice Myth" is a tool for emotional freedom. It teaches readers that the world isnt plotting against them; the world is just messy. Understanding this doesnt excuse bad behavior, but it stops that behavior from ruining your day.

The nature of life itself is examined through the lens of the "psyche," or soul, which Aristotle defines as the form of a living body. He dissects the varying capacities of living things, from the nutritional powers of plants to the sensory and rational faculties of animals and humans. The work bridges biology and psychology, explaining how the mind perceives the world and how the intellect processes abstract forms. It is a crucial investigation into the relationship between the physical organism and its animating principle.

This ethical treatise proposes that the ultimate goal of human life is "eudaimonia," a state of flourishing achieved through the active exercise of virtue. Aristotle argues that character is built through habit, finding the "golden mean" between the vices of excess and deficiency. The work covers a wide range of human experience, from the nature of voluntary action to the different types of friendship and the importance of intellectual contemplation. It is a practical guide to living a good life, grounded in reason and human nature.

Aristotle investigates the "first philosophy," seeking to understand the fundamental principles that govern all of existence. The text moves beyond physical observation to question the nature of substance, potentiality, and the divine intellect that moves the universe without being moved. It addresses the core questions of what it means for something to be, distinguishing between the accidental and the essential. This work remains a cornerstone of ontological inquiry, challenging the reader to grasp the underlying architecture of reality.

Aristotle formulates a system for classifying every object of human thought into ten distinct categories, such as substance, quality, and relation. This logical framework is designed to prevent ambiguity in language and to structure the way we predicate attributes to subjects. The text lays the groundwork for all deductive reasoning, establishing the rules for how we define and describe the world. It is the essential alphabet of Aristotelian logic, enabling clear and coherent argumentation.

In this concise analysis of dramatic art, Aristotle identifies the key components that make tragedy a powerful medium for emotional cleansing. He discusses the necessity of a unified plot, the "hamartia" or tragic flaw of the hero, and the cathartic effect of pity and fear on the audience. The text contrasts poetry with history, arguing that poetry is more philosophical because it deals with universals rather than particulars. It remains the primary source for understanding the structure and purpose of classical storytelling.

Aristotle exposes the tricks and fallacies used in competitive debate to produce the illusion of refutation without the substance of truth. He categorizes the various forms of verbal ambiguity and logical error, teaching the student how to dismantle a deceptive argument. The work serves as a defensive manual for the philosopher, protecting the integrity of dialectic against those who argue for victory rather than truth. It emphasizes the importance of precise language and valid reasoning in the pursuit of knowledge.

This work offers a variation on Aristotles ethical themes, focusing on the pursuit of the good and the role of virtue in a happy life. It examines the nature of voluntary action and moral responsibility, asking how we can be held accountable for our character. The text explores the relationship between wisdom and moral virtue, suggesting that knowing the good is intertwined with doing the good. It serves as a philosophical guide to the development of a noble and self-sufficient character.

In a meeting with a prize-winning rhapsode, Socrates investigates the link between artistic performance and genuine knowledge. The philosopher uses the metaphor of a magnetic chain to explain how divine inspiration flows from the muse to the poet and finally to the audience, bypassing the intellect entirely. The text questions whether performers truly understand the subjects they enact or if they are merely possessed intermediaries. It is a fascinating early inquiry into the psychology of creativity and the irrational roots of art.

Kant argues that while theoretical reason cannot prove the existence of God or freedom, practical reason demands them as necessary postulates for moral action. He posits that the moral law within us is an undeniable fact that points towards a higher order of existence. The text explores the relationship between virtue and happiness, suggesting they can only be reconciled in an afterlife. It represents a shift from skepticism to a faith grounded in rational moral necessity.

Socrates confronts the celebrity rhetoricians of his day in a passionate debate regarding the purpose of persuasion and the nature of power. The discussion escalates from a polite inquiry into the definition of rhetoric to a fierce argument about whether it is better to inflict injustice or to suffer it. Plato presents a stark contrast between the life of the politician, who seeks to please the crowd, and the life of the philosopher, who seeks the good of the soul. This dialogue contains some of Socrates most fervent moral convictions regarding the health of the human spirit.

Using the method of division and collection, this dialogue attempts to define the statesman as a distinct kind of expert shepherd of the human flock. The stranger from Elea leads the inquiry, utilizing the myth of the age of Cronus to distinguish between divine rule and human governance. It explores the necessity of laws as an imperfect substitute for the wisdom of a true ruler, acknowledging the messiness of practical politics. The work provides a sophisticated analysis of constitutional forms and the art of weaving together different temperaments in the state.

A wealthy nobleman from Thessaly challenges Socrates with the question of how virtue is acquired, sparking a deep dive into the nature of learning itself. To solve the problem of how one can search for unknown knowledge, Socrates demonstrates a geometry lesson with an enslaved boy, arguing that learning is the recollection of eternal truths. The text blends ethical inquiry with metaphysical speculation, introducing the concept of the immortal soul as the repository of wisdom. It is a pivotal work that bridges the gap between Socratic ethics and Platonic epistemology.
