¿Qué es la belleza? ¿Qué es la verdad? ¿Qué tiene que ver la estética con ambas cosas? La estética es una rama de la filosofía que se preocupa de la totalidad de la naturaleza de la experiencia misma

What makes philosophy on the continent of Europe so different and exciting? And why does it have such a reputation for being difficult? Continental philosophy was initiated amid the revolutionary ferment of the 18th century, philosophers such as Kant and Hegel confronting the extremism of the time with theories that challenged the very formation of individual and social consciousness. Covering the great philosophers of the modern and postmodern eras from Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida and Deleuze right to up Agamben and ?i?ek and philosophical movements from German idealism to deconstruction and feminism Christopher Kul-Want and Piero brilliantly elucidate some of the most thrilling and powerful ideas ever to have been discussed.

Charting his meteoric rise in popularity, Christopher Kul-Want and Piero explore Zizeks timely analyses of todays global crises concerning ecology, mounting poverty, war, civil unrest and revolution. Covering topics from philosophy and ethics, politics and ideology, religion and art, to literature, cinema, corporate marketing, quantum physics and virtual reality, Introducing Slavoj Zizek deftly explains Zizeks virtuoso ability to transform apparently outworn ideologies Communism, Marxism and psychoanalysis into a new theory of freedom and enjoyment.

Immanuel Kant laid the foundations of modern Western thought. Every subsequent major philosopher owes a profound debt to Kants attempts to delimit human reason as an appropriate object of philosophical enquiry. And yet, Kants relentless systematic formalism made him a controversial figure in the history of the philosophy that he helped to shape.Introducing Kant focuses on the three critiques of Pure Reason, Practical Reason and Judgement. It describes Kants main formal concepts: the relation of mind to sensory experience, the question of freedom and the law and, above all, the revaluation of metaphysics. Kant emerges as a diehard rationalist yet also a Romantic, deeply committed to the power of the sublime to transform experience. The illustrated guide explores the paradoxical nature of the pre-eminent philosopher of the Enlightenment, his ideas and explains the reasons for his undiminished importance in contemporary philosophical debates.

What is beauty, and what is truth? These are some of the questions which aesthetics tries to answer. In our everyday life, we talk about the aesthetics of an artwork or a piece of design. But aesthetics goes beyond the simple experience of art. It is also a branch of philosophy concerned with the whole nature of experience itself, explored through our perceptions, feelings and emotions.
