Synopsis

Arthur Schopenhauer's seminal work, "The World as Will and Idea," presents a profound philosophical exploration of reality through the lenses of perception and metaphysics. Blending rich metaphysical inquiry with a rigorous critique of reason, Schopenhauer posits that the underlying essence of the world is the 'Will'—an irrational force driving all existence. His prose, marked by eloquence and depth, challenges the Enlightenment's reliance on rationality, positioning intuition and desire at the heart of human experience. This philosophical tapestry is woven through his earlier influences, including Kant and Eastern philosophies, specifically Buddhism, highlighting a unique synthesis in the Western philosophical canon. Schopenhauer, a lonely figure in 19th-century philosophy, experienced the turbulence of personal struggles and intellectual isolation, which profoundly shaped his worldview and writing. His pessimistic outlook, rooted in the belief that suffering is inherent to existence, drives the themes of this work. His rejection of prevailing ideals of optimism in society positioned Schopenhauer as a precursor to existential thought, capturing the complexities of human experience with compassion and insight. "The World as Will and Idea" is essential reading for anyone seeking to grapple with the darker aspects of human existence and the motivations that govern our lives. Schopenhauer's eloquence invites readers to reflect deeply on their own experiences of desire, suffering, and the quest for understanding, challenging them to uncover the deeper will that resides within.

    By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.

    Was Navalny deliberately poisoned? Does the evidence we have justify sanctions against Russia? Was the recording with the KGB agent a set-up? Is Navalny really the "main opponent of Vladimir Putin"? Does his film about "Putin's Palace" reflect reality? This book is the first investigation of the Navalny case. It is based on official American, British, Russian, French and German documents. Written by an ex-agent of the Swiss secret service who fought for ten years against the Soviet Union, this account highlights a new way of practicing foreign policy: passionate, disordered, without hindsight or constructive purpose. The immediate application of sanctions while the facts remain unclear removes all space for diplomacy. The Western unison around this affair and the censorship against dissenting voices reveal a disturbing evolution of society and its growing vulnerability to manipulation. We create realities out of our prejudices: this is the definition of conspiracy, which has become the main weapon of Western countries. We do what we reproach the autocrats for. Jacques Baud, a colonel in the Swiss army, is an expert in chemical and nuclear weapons, and trained in counter-terrorism and counter-guerrilla warfare. In the service of the United Nations, he was head of doctrine for peacekeeping operations in New York, and engaged in Africa. At NATO, he led the fight against the proliferation of small arms.
