Beschreibung

In "Thoughts on the Present Discontents, and Speeches," Edmund Burke provides a profound analysis of the political turmoil in 18th-century Britain, particularly in the wake of the American Revolution. His literary style is characterized by eloquent prose and compelling rhetoric, merging philosophical inquiry with pragmatic political commentary. Burke critiques the prevailing political theories of his time, advocating for stability and tradition over radical change, particularly emphasizing the importance of established institutions in maintaining societal order. The work is an essential text within the context of Enlightenment political thought, laying groundwork for later conservative philosophy. Edmund Burke, an Irish statesman and philosopher, was deeply influenced by the complex political landscape of his era, especially the tension between liberty and order. His experiences in Parliament and his reflections on revolutionary movements informed his views; Burke understood the perils of unchecked radicalism, which he believed could lead to chaos and tyranny. His commitment to gradual reform and respect for historical context underscores his belief that society is a delicate balance of rights and responsibilities. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in political philosophy, history, or the evolution of conservative thought. Burke's insights continue to resonate today, offering valuable lessons on governance, civil society, and the inherent tensions within political systems. Engage with his timeless arguments to better understand the complexities of contemporary political discourse.

    Empathy is one of the most profound and transformative qualities that we can cultivate in our lives. It allows us to connect with others on a deep emotional level, fostering understanding, compassion, and trust. In a world where individualism and surface-level interactions often dominate, empathy offers a refreshing and essential antidote. It enables us to not only understand the perspectives of others but also to feel their emotions and respond with care and support. This deep emotional connection is the cornerstone of strong, healthy relationships, whether in personal, professional, or social contexts. 
      
    In this book, we will explore the nature of empathy, its importance in building meaningful connections, and practical ways to develop and nurture it in our everyday lives. We will examine the different facets of empathy, including cognitive empathy—the ability to understand another's thoughts and viewpoints—and emotional empathy, which allows us to feel the emotions of others. By recognizing and cultivating both of these forms of empathy, we can better navigate the complexities of human relationships and respond more effectively to the needs of others.

    In RNJesus They Trust: Game Design, Your Time & Your Luck is a witty, sharp-eyed exploration of randomness in modern gaming — and how it blesses, tests, or exploits the players who kneel before it. From the ecstatic thrill of a rare drop to the soul-crushing grind of gacha pulls, game developers have turned RNG (random number generation) into a design pillar that fuels excitement and monetization. But where does randomness stop being fun and start wasting your time — or draining your wallet? This book unpacks that question across genres: MMOs, gacha games, roguelikes, shooters, and strategy titles. It blends game design insight with psychological analysis and a dash of sacred satire, portraying “RNJesus” as the unpredictable deity we’ve all prayed to at 2 AM. Whether you're a game designer, critic, or lifelong gamer tired of losing to the dice, this book offers clarity, laughter, and empowerment. Learn to recognize fair design, spot exploitative patterns, and advocate for gaming systems that respect your time — and your luck.

    What Is It Like to Be a Bat?

    "Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable." So begins Thomas Nagel's classic 1974 essay "What is it Like to be a Bat?" Nagel's essay initiated the now widespread attention to consciousness as a central problem for philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience; it also influenced the recognition of the consciousness of nonhuman creatures as an important subject of study. Nagel argued that the essential subjectivity of conscious experience—what it is like for the creature undergoing it—means that reductionist theories of mind, which attempt to analyze it in physical terms, can never succeed. It follows that the physical sciences cannot provide a complete description of reality, and that the physical conception of objective reality must be transcended if science is going to comprehend the mind. 
     
     
     
    This edition reissues this classic and widely influential article on its fiftieth anniversary, along with a new preface discussing the origins and influence of the essay, as well as "Further Thoughts: The Psychophysical Nexus," a supplementary essay which describes Nagel's later thoughts about how to respond to the problem posed by "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?"

    Understanding the context of terrorism requires a trek through history, in this case the history of terrorist activity in the United States since the Civil War.  Because the topic is large and complex, Terrorists Attacks on American Soil: From the Civil War to the Present does not claim to be an exhaustive history of terrorism or the definitive account of how and why terrorists do what they do.  Instead, this book takes a representative sampling of the most horrific terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in an effort to understand the context in which they occurred and the lessons that can be learned from these events.
