Sinopsis

In Philosophy and Literature, Alexis Karpouzos embarks on a sweeping intellectual and poetic journey that bridges the timeless questions of philosophy with the evocative power of literature. This work is a profound meditation on being, beauty, interpretation, and ethics—an invitation to explore the depths of human consciousness through the twin lenses of reason and imagination.
 
Drawing inspiration from the great minds of the 19th and 20th centuries, Karpouzos engages in a vibrant dialogue with thinkers and writers who shaped modern thought. From the existential inquiries of Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche to the ontological investigations of Martin Heidegger, and the hermeneutic insights of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur, the book traces the philosophical lineage that interrogates the nature of truth, morality, and meaning. But this is not philosophy in isolation. Karpouzos brings literature into the conversation with equal reverence. He reflects on the poetic mysticism of William Blake, the moral complexity of Fyodor Dostoevsky, the symbolic depth of James Joyce, and the existential lyricism of Rainer Maria Rilke. The book also resonates with the modernist fragmentation of Virginia Woolf, the mythic consciousness of Carl Jung, and the metaphysical yearning of T.S. Eliot. These literary voices are not merely referenced—they are woven into the philosophical fabric of the text, creating a multidimensional dialogue that transcends disciplinary boundaries.
 
Alexis Karpouzos does not offer definitive answers. Instead, he invites readers into a contemplative space where questions are cherished more than conclusions. His prose is poetic, his reasoning intuitive, and his vision deeply humanistic. This is a book for seekers—those who find solace in ambiguity, who believe that truth is not a fixed point but a horizon we move toward through dialogue, reflection, and imagination.
 
Whether you're a philosopher, a literary scholar, or simply a curious soul drawn to the mysteries of existence, Philosophy and Literature offers a luminous guide through the labyrinth of thought and feeling. It is a celebration of the human spirit’s capacity to wonder, to create, and to connect.

    [How to Be Calm] delves into the subtle art of finding peace in a world that never stops moving. Through intimate prose that reads like a conversation with a close friend, this guide illuminates the spaces between breaths, the moments between thoughts, where true tranquility resides. Unlike conventional self-help books that prescribe rigid routines, this work weaves together practical wisdom with poetic insight, showing how calmness isn't something to achieve but rather a natural state to remember. Drawing from both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, it explores how our relationship with silence, solitude, and simplicity shapes our capacity for peace. The book's unique approach lies in its recognition that calmness isn't the absence of chaos but the ability to find stillness within it, teaching readers how to navigate life's complexities with grace and presence. Through chapters that flow like gentle streams of consciousness, readers discover that the path to tranquility isn't about adding more techniques to their lives, but about remembering their innate capacity for peace.

    "With stoic calm": That's how people describe individuals who seemingly can't be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life!Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn't a bit more control over your inner life be nice? Then a modern Stoicism approach is your royal road, because the fundamental idea of its founder Zeno is more relevant today than ever: leading a good life in which your internal and external worlds are in harmonious alignment. To achieve this, one must become master of their emotions and passions—and fortunately, with a little patience, it's quite simple to learn. In this book, you will first familiarize yourself with the theoretical foundations of Stoicism before discovering how to put them into practice. By working through a variety of exercises, tasks, and challenges, you will apply what you've learned and gradually develop the Stoa mindset. Prior knowledge or experience? Not required! Thanks to straightforward explanations and immediately applicable techniques, even newcomers can start effortlessly and achieve impressive results in no time.

    Kingdom of Wolves clears the path to understanding the unconscious drives that motivate if not govern the behaviours of predators, abusers, bullies, their victims and the underlying issues that draw them to each other. The author demystifies the complexities of human behaviour, merging old concepts with new as she guides you through the emotional and psychological landscapes of the abuser’s and victim’s psyche. She provides a simple but profound insight into the adverse causes and outcomes of early childhood and adolescent development, linking it to present-day adult ways of life. Juliana, once a victim of domestic abuse herself, believes that freedom, reclamation, redemption and wholeness of spirit can only be achieved by taking a journey inward. She hopes through this book to provide a way forward for victims who are trapped by their past experiences or present-day abusive circumstances and concludes that the key to recognition, understanding and prevention of violence and abuse can only be gained through acquiring a deeper awareness of human behaviour.

    We all carry sexual shame. Whether we grew up in the repressive purity culture of American Evangelical Christianity or not, we've all been taught in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that sex (outside of very specific contexts) is immoral and taboo. Psychotherapist Matthias Roberts helps readers overcome their shame around sex by overcoming three unhealthy coping mechanisms we use to manage that shame. 
     
     
     
    Beyond Shame encourages each of us to determine our own definition of healthy sex, while avoiding the ditches of boundaryless sex positivity on the one hand and strict moralistic boundaries on the other. Define your sexual values on your own terms, overcome your shame, and start having great, healthy sex.

    Feminist philosophy has emerged as a critical lens for understanding and deconstructing gender roles, power structures, and the ways in which societal norms shape individual identities. At its core, feminist philosophy challenges traditional, patriarchal systems that often position women and marginalized genders as secondary to men. It is not merely a critique of these systems but an exploration of alternative ways of thinking about power, justice, and equality. Feminist philosophers have sought to unravel the deep-rooted assumptions about gender, questioning how these assumptions limit the full potential of individuals and societies. 
    The intersection of gender, power, and identity plays a pivotal role in feminist thought. Feminist philosophers argue that gender is not a natural or static characteristic but a social construct shaped by historical, cultural, and political forces. This perspective invites us to reconsider the rigid distinctions between what is typically considered "masculine" and "feminine," and challenges the belief that these roles are inherent or unchangeable. It also calls attention to the ways in which power dynamics inform our understanding of gender. Feminism examines how power operates not just in political or economic spheres, but in everyday interactions, personal relationships, and within institutions.
