Sinopsis

Aristotle's "Metaphysics" stands as a cornerstone of Western philosophy, exploring foundational questions about existence, reality, and the nature of being. In this profound work, Aristotle delves into topics such as substance, causality, potentiality, and actuality, employing a rigorous and systematic approach that reflects his empirical mindset. Written in a dialectical style, the text challenges readers to engage with abstract concepts and provides a critical framework that has influenced countless philosophical discussions throughout history, including those in theology, science, and ethics. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, sought to establish a comprehensive understanding of the world and our place within it. His philosophical inquiries were informed by his extensive background in the natural sciences and his experiences in the court of Macedon. The transition he makes in "Metaphysics" from Plato's ideal forms to a more materialist perspective marks a significant turning point in philosophical thought, underscoring his commitment to investigating the intrinsic nature of reality beyond mere perception. "Metaphysics" is essential for anyone seeking to grasp the underpinnings of metaphysical thought and the evolution of philosophy itself. Aristotle's work not only encourages deep reflection on key ontological questions but also invites readers to consider their own beliefs about reality. This classic text remains a vital resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the philosophical exploration of existence.

    What Are Your Solutions to Life's Questions? 
    Here, you will find 365 questions designed to open up your mind to think about yourself and your place in the world in new ways. With these questions, you may come to powerful realizations that will help you to improve yourself, the people around you, and maybe even the world. 
    Most self-development books present you with solutions to common problems. This can be helpful, but what if those solutions work for most people, but not you? Perhaps what you need is a book of questions to help stimulate you to find useful solutions for your unique situation. Maybe you always had the solutions deep down somewhere inside of you, and you just needed the right questions to help guide you to them. 
    When you do the work of pursuing your answers to these Questions, you will be rewarded with a breakthrough in understanding your life, your place in the world, and the path that you were destined for. Understand that there is no single right answer, no one perspective that is right, there is only your personal truth that you must reveal to yourself. 
    Authors Dave Edelstein (A.B., Philosophy from Harvard University) and I. C. Robledo (M.S., Industrial-Organizational Psychology from University of Oklahoma) combine their expertise in philosophy, psychology, and self-development to provide you with questions which were designed to help you help yourself. The authors believe there is enormous potential in seeking the answers within, rather than always seeking them from sources outside of yourself.

  • Faulty Reasoning in Cause and Effect - When Correlation Isn’t Causation (2 in 1) - cover

    Faulty Reasoning in Cause and...

    This book consists of the following two titles: 
    - The Correlation-Causation Fallacy: The correlation-causation fallacy is a common error in reasoning where people mistakenly believe that because two events or variables are correlated, one must have caused the other. This fallacy is not only widespread but can have significant consequences in various aspects of life, including science, policy-making, and everyday decision-making. It stems from the human tendency to look for patterns and explanations, often leading us to draw conclusions from observed associations without carefully analyzing the underlying mechanisms at play. 
      
    - The Gambler's Fallacy: The Gambler's Fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, is a common cognitive bias in which individuals believe that past events can influence future random outcomes. It is particularly evident in gambling scenarios, where players wrongly assume that a string of bad or good luck must be followed by a reversal. The core principle of the fallacy lies in the misinterpretation of probability. In reality, the odds of a specific event occurring remain constant, regardless of what happened in the past. This misunderstanding can lead to poor decision-making and increased risks.

    This book consists of three titles: 
    1 - Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator and explorer who made 4 explorations across the Atlantic Ocean, paving the course for European discovery and settlement of the Americas. His journeys were the first European contacts with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, and were financed by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. 
    Christopher Columbus is an Anglicization of “Christophorus Columbus,” a Latin name. Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa and spoke a Ligurian dialect as his mother tongue, according to most intellectuals. He went to sea at an early age and traveled all over the world, as far north as the British Islands and as far south as Ghana. 
    2 - Galileo engaged in useful science and innovation, clarifying the characteristics of pendulums and "hydrostatic balances," and also studying speed and speed, gravity and free fall, the concept of relativity, inertia, and projectile movement. He created the thermoscope and some army compasses, and he used the telescope to observe celestial things clinically. Telescopic verification of Venus' stages, observation of Jupiter's 4 biggest satellites, research study of Saturn's rings, and analysis of sunspots are amongst his contributions to observational astronomy. 
    3 - Captain James Cook FRS was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy who is most well-known for his 3 explorations to the Pacific Ocean, especially to Australia, between 1768 and 1779. Prior to finishing 3 trips to the Pacific, he drew precise maps of Newfoundland and made the first documented European encounter with the eastern coast of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first noted circumnavigation of New Zealand.
