Sinopse

In "Anton Tchekhov, and Other Essays," Lev Shestov presents a profound exploration of Tchekhov's literary genius through a philosophical lens. Shestov's essays blend critical analysis with existential thought, illustrating how Tchekhov's works capture the essence of human fragility and the absurdities of life. With a stylistic clarity and depth, Shestov interweaves biographical context with textual interpretations, revealing Tchekhov's influence amidst the broader currents of Russian literary modernism. This collection invites readers to engage with Tchekhov's themes of suffering, morality, and the search for meaning within the human experience. Lev Shestov, a pivotal figure in 20th-century Russian philosophy, is known for his existentialist and sometimes mystic views, which deeply inform his writings. Torn between his Russian roots and European influences, Shestov's insights into Tchekhov reflect his own struggles with faith, doubt, and the complexities of existence. Shestov's literary career was shaped by his belief in the power of literature to confront life's existential dilemmas, making this collection a natural extension of his philosophical inquiries. Readers who seek a deeper understanding of Tchekhov's work will find Shestov's essays indispensable. By melding literary criticism with philosophical reflection, this collection not only enriches one's appreciation of Tchekhov's texts but also prompts introspection about our own existence. Shestov's unique perspective offers a compelling invitation to explore the intricate dance between tragedy and comedy that defines the human condition.

    A rich and engaging guide to psychology, the science devoted to understanding human nature 
     
     
      
    What really drives our decisions? Where do language and memory come from? Why do our minds sometimes seem to work against us? Psychologists have long attempted to answer these questions, seeking to understand human behavior, feelings, and thoughts. But how to explore something so elusive? 
     
     
      
    In this fascinating history, leading expert Nicky Hayes tells the story of psychology across the centuries and around the world. Hayes introduces key thinkers, including Carl Jung, Anna Freud, Frantz Fanon, and Daniel Kahneman. We see how they tried to expand our understanding, from Pavlov and his dogs to Milgram and his famous electric shock experiments to the CIA's secret mind-control projects. Hayes explores key concepts like child development, the inferiority complex, and PTSD and shows how psychological research has been used for both good and ill. 
     
     
      
    This Little History shines a light on the ever-advancing study of psychology, how the field has evolved over time—and how much more we need to learn.

    What if the universe didn't begin with a bang, but with a rule? 
    In Law & Limit: The Architecture of the Infinite, independent theorist Kiet Anh Le redefines the origin of existence itself. Every event, every equation, presupposes structure — meaning that Law, not matter or time, is the true beginning of reality. 
    Through a blend of logic, mathematics, and metaphysics, Le reveals a profound architecture of being built on three principles: 
    Law (Λ) — the totality of consistent relations that make existence possible; 
    Existence (E) — the realization of those relations; 
    and the Outer Limit (Ωₗ) — the boundary that completes reality without infinite regress. 
    Drawing insights from physics, philosophy, and formal reasoning, Law & Limit presents a daring synthesis where logic becomes cosmology and coherence becomes the foundation of all things. It's a philosophical journey beyond spacetime — into the very structure of the infinite.

    We were created for so much more than rushing through life.It’s easy for everything in our lives to seem fine on the surface. But deep down inside, there’s often another story at play―one of overwhelm, stress and heartache, of finding ourselves stuck in old patterns. Rather than feeling the weight of it all, it’s easier to spend our days on autopilot, ignoring the noise inside.But what if the peace and relief we most long for comes from tuning in with what’s happening inside, instead of tuning it out?Join therapist Anna Christine (A.C.) Seiple on a compassionate, mindful exploration of the depths of our souls. With gentleness, wisdom, and expertise, A.C. invites us to connect with our body and get curious about the spaces within that feel most stuck―and find where we need safety, attunement and care.Rather than a prescriptive “how-to” guide, The Sacred Art of Slowing Down offers unique therapeutic prompts and contemplative reflections to help uscultivate new rhythms to work with what’s happening inside rather than feeling like we’re working against ourselvesholistically explore the cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and somatic strands of ourselves―connecting with and honoring the whole of our created beingbecome more comfortable with being instead of getting caught up in doing through experiential exercisesembrace God’s tender compassion and care―especially for the most wounded parts of usWhen we slow down to connect with the depths of our being, we are able to move through life in freer, more wholehearted―and whole-bodied―ways. May these pages be a sacred space for all parts of us to be seen, held, and nourished.
