Sinopse

In "Metaphysics," Aristotle embarks on an inquiry into the fundamental nature of reality, exploring the principles that underpin existence and substance. This seminal text employs a rigorous dialectical method, blending philosophical analysis with empirical observation, and is structured around key concepts such as being, essence, causality, and potentiality. Written in the 4th century BCE, Aristotle's work acts as a crucial bridge between pre-Socratic thought and later metaphysical discourse, setting the stage for centuries of philosophical exploration on ontology and epistemology. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, drew insights from diverse schools of thought and experiences in the natural world, which shaped his distinctive philosophical inquiries. His extensive writings reflect a relentless quest for knowledge and understanding, spurred by the intellectual milieu of ancient Greece. "Metaphysics" is thus an extension of his lifelong exploration into the nature of being and reality, elevating abstract reasoning to a systematic study that would influence both medieval scholasticism and modern philosophy. This profound work is a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the underpinnings of Western philosophical thought. Aristotle's meticulous explorations into existence compel readers to interrogate their understanding of reality, making "Metaphysics" not just a historical artifact but a relevant philosophical companion for contemporary ongoing discussions in metaphysics.

    Read by the author, Michael BondFans takes you on a journey into the world of superfans – in all of its strange, sometimes dark, and complicated forms.'A celebration of human idiosyncrasy and of our talent for building shared meaning and solidarity out of the strangest material' – TLSFascinating and thought-provoking, Fans is a story of communities, of what happens to us when we interact with people who share our passions. The human brain is wired to reach out, and while our groupish tendencies can bring much strife (religious intolerance, racism, war, etc.), they are also the source of some of our greatest satisfactions.Fandoms offer much of the pleasure of tribalism with little of the harm: a feeling of belonging and of shared culture, a sense of meaning and purpose, improved mental well-being, reassurance that our most outlandish convictions will be taken seriously, and the freedom to try to emulate (and dress like) our hero.But acclaimed science writer Michael Bond shows that despite these benefits, the world of fandoms is not without its dark underside, from the “copycat effect” fuelling mass shootings to the delusions that can accompany the parasocial relationships that fans feel they have with their heroes.In Fans, Michael Bond draws on the work of social psychologists and anthropologists to understand how people behave in groups and why such groups have such a profound effect on human culture.
