An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Volume Two - John Locke - e-kniha
eBook: ‘An Essay Concerning Human Understanding’ is philosopher John Locke\'s pioneering examination of the origins of human knowledge and understanding. First published in 1690, it set the agenda for modern philosophy and influenced psychology and political theory. In ‘An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Volume Two’ Locke discusses our use of language and its imperfections. He talks of the ‘Abuse of Words’ and laments the creation of words with no distinct meaning. The book also covers Locke’s ideas on truth, judgement, probability, enthusiasm and reason. His radical theories on the nature of human knowledge and where it comes from went on to change the face of philosophy. Regarded as Locke’s most powerful and important philosophical work, ‘An Essay on Human Understanding’ still resonates today. John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philosopher and political theorist, whose work built the foundations of modern liberalism, political theory and economics. Commonly known as the \"Father of Liberalism\" he is widely regarded as one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers. Locke’s ideas on ‘identity’ and ‘self’ and the notion we are born with a ‘blank slate’, helped shape the work of philosophers such as Kant, Rousseau and Voltaire, while his essays on religious tolerance were an early model for the separation of church and state. The American Declaration of Independence was influenced by Locke’s political ideas on government, creating the foundation for the freedoms enjoyed by Americans today.

School, ideas and values in the age of tl;dr - An essay - Zdeněk Ježek
Čemu věřit ve světě, který svým obyvatelům nabízí záplavu informací, názorů a postojů? Disponuje školní vzdělávání nástroji, které umožní se v této záplavě vyznat? Pomůže používání zdravého rozumu v boji proti dezinformacím? A nejsou metafory záplavy a boje použité v předchozích větách jazykovým prostředkem, který posouvá smysl celého sdělení od racionality směrem k emocionalitě? Společnost 21. století se musí vyrovnat s mnoha nástrahami. Jednou z nich je přesycení informacemi, ve kterých se laik téměř nemá šanci vyznat – zároveň je však každý postaven nejen před možnost, ale spíše povinnost vybrat si názorové stanovisko. Ve veřejné diskusi proto často dochází ke zjednodušování, komplexní témata jsou redukována na jednoduché teze a důkladnou analýzu nahrazuje dovětek tl;dr. Too long; didn’t read – příliš dlouhé; nečetl*a jsem. Esej se zabývá otázkou vztahu vzdělávání a hodnot, přičemž na příkladech práce s literárními texty zkoumá, jak rozvíjet porozumění, analytické dovednosti a ochotu vyhýbat se jednoduchým vysvětlením složitých témat.

The Laws of Human Nature - Robert Greene
Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defence.

Kafka: Making of an Icon
Franz Kafka died in 1924, when he was not yet forty-one. During his life he published only seven small books, but he left behind three unfinished novels and a mass of stories, reflections and personal writings which were published after his death. His novels in particular, alongside short stories such as The Judgement and The Metamorphosis, have made him one of the most widely read, significant and influential writers of the twentieth century.His writings show an extraordinary ability to speak to the changing concerns of later generations. This collection of essays, illustrated with manuscripts, archival material, postcards and family photographs, not only sets Kafka in the context of his life and times but also shows how his own experiences nourished his imagination. Literal travel in Western Europe enabled him, as his notebooks reveal, to practise descriptive writing.Imaginative travel through reading strengthened his fascination with remote spaces and made him aware of European colonialism. Familiar settings in his fiction become alien and bewildering. When writing about animals, he sought to enter imaginatively into their non-human way of being.This book is a celebration not just of Kafka’s achievements and creativity, but also of how – even 100 years after his death – Kafka continues to inspire new literary, theatrical and cinematic creations around the world.

Kniha - autor Simon Baron-Cohen, 256 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Why can humans alone invent? In this book, psychologist and world renowned autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen puts forward a bold new theory: because we can identify patterns, specifically if-and-then patterns. And he argues that the genes for this unique ability overlap with the genes for autism. From the first musical instrument to the agricultural, industrial and digital revolutions, Baron-Cohen shows how this unique ability has driven human progress for 70,000 years. By linking one of our greatest human strengths with a condition that is so often misunderstood, The Pattern Seekers challenges us to think differently about those who think differently.

Cur homo? A history of the thesis concerning man as a replacement for fallen angels - Vojtěch Novotný - e-kniha
eBook: This monograph has set itself the goal to examine, outline, elucidate, and supplement the existing body of knowledge concerning a theme from patristic and medieval theology recalled in 1953 by Marie-Dominique Chenu, and that is the assertion that man was created as a replacement for fallen angels (Yves Congar: créature de remplacement; Louis Bouyer: ange de remplacement). The study first shows that the idea of man having being created to take the place of fallen angels was introduced by St. Augustine and developed by other church fathers. It then identifies the typical contexts in which the subject was raised by authors of the early Middle Ages, but goes on to focus on the discussion that developed during the twelfth century (Anselm of Canterbury, the school of Laon, Rupert of Deutz, Honorius of Autun), which represents the high point of the theme under investigation, culminating in the assertion that man is an "original" being, created for its own sake, for whom God created the world – a world which together with, and through, man is destined for the heavenly Jerusalem. The question as to whether man would have been created if the angels had not sinned (cur homo) bears a clear similarity to a further controversy, the origins of which also go back to the twelfth century, and that is whether the Son of God would have become incarnate if man had not sinned (cur Deus homo). Next, the book sheds light on how the subject begins to gradually fade away through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, both within monastic tradition, which nonetheless held onto Augustine's motif, and within scholastic theology, which asserted that man was created for his own sake. The conclusion summarizes the findings and points to the surprisingly contemporary relevance of the foregoing reflections, particularly in relation to the critique that the Swiss philosopher and theologian Romano Amerio († 1997) offers concerning a statement in the pastoral constitution of the Second Vatican Council (Gaudium et spes 24), according to which man is "the only creature on earth that God willed for itself".

Nemůžeš změnit svět. Můžeš jenom přežít v tom, ve kterém žiješ. Budapeští protéká Dunaj. Csilla ví, že tato řeka má kouzelnou moc - když byla její rodina za druhé světové války v největší nouzi, zachránila je před holokaustem. Jenže to bylo ještě předtím, než se v Maďarsku chopili moci komunisté, než tajná policie odsoudila a zabila její rodiče a než se Csilla dozvěděla pravdu o svém otci. Teď se Csilla snaží na sebe příliš neupozorňovat, protože má v úmyslu ze země uprchnout. Všechny pečlivě promyšlené plány se však začnou rozpadat ve chvíli, kdy soud její rodiče nečekaně zprostí viny a očistí jejich jména. Tato událost zažehne jiskru a vyvolá plamenné protesty po celém městě. Revolty v okolních zemích východního bloku podnítí v Maďarsku volání po svobodě. Nepokoje rostou a v budapešťských ulicích se zjeví sám anděl smrti. Csilla se musí rozhodnout, jestli uvěří ve znovuzrození své nedokonalé země a bude ochotná riskovat život při její záchraně, nebo jestli ji nechá napospas utiskovatelům.

An Emotion of Great Delight - Tahereh Mafi
From bestselling author of the Shatter Me series and the National Book Award-nominated A Very Large Expanse of Sea, Tahereh Mafi, comes a stunning novel about love and loneliness, navigating dual-identity as a Muslim teenager in America, and reclaiming your right to joy. It's 2003. It's been several months since the US officially declared war on Iraq, and the political world has evolved. Shadi, who wears hijab (a visible allegiance to Islam) keeps her head down. Hate crimes are spiking. Undercover FBI agents are infiltrating mosques and interrogating members of the congregation, and the local Muslim community is beginning to fracture. Shadi hears the fights after services, the arguments between families about what it means to be Muslim, about what they should be doing and saying as a community but she does not engage. She's too busy drowning in her own troubles to find the time to deal with bigots. Shadi is named for joy, but she's haunted by sorrow. Her brother is dead, her father is dying, her mother is falling apart, and her best friend has mysteriously dropped out of her life. And then, of course, there's the small matter of her heart It's broken. Shadi has tried to navigate the remains of her quickly-shattering world by soldiering through, saying nothing, until finally, one day, everything changes. She explodes. Perfect for fans of the Shatter Me series as well as Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give and Nicola Yoon's The Sun is Also A Star.

Human Acts: Winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature - Han Kang
A riveting, poetic and powerful work from the author of the International Booker Prize-winning novel The Vegetarian. 'Exquisite, painful and deeply courageous' Philippe Sands, Best Books of the Year, Guardian Gwangju, South Korea, 1980. Amid a violent student uprising a young boy named Dong-ho is killed. As his friend searches for Dong-ho's corpse, we also meet an editor struggling against censorship, a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories, and Dong-ho's grief-stricken mother.

Life 3.0 : Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence - Max Tegmark
The international bestseller. Daily telegraph and the times books of the year. AI is the future - but what will that future look like? Will superhuman intelligence be our slave, or become our god? Taking us to the heart of the latest thinking about AI, Max Tegmark, the MIT professor whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial, separates myths from reality, utopias from dystopias, to explore the next phase of our existence. How can we grow our prosperity through automation, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether?'This is the most important conversation of our time, and Tegmark's thought-provoking book will help you join it' Stephen Hawking

The hotly anticipated second book from Joya Goffney, author of the 2021 YA romcom Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry. Monique lives a perfect life - a preacher's daughter and the girlfriend of the town's golden boy. But it's not that simple. She's torn between her parents who want the pure virginal daughter, and her boyfriend, Dom, who wants to explore the more intimate side of their relationship. Tired of waiting, her boyfriend breaks up with her, spurring Monique to discover she has a medical condition that makes her far from perfect and she concocts a plan to fix her body and win him back. With the help of her frenemy, Sasha, the overly zealous church girl Monique's mum pushes her to hang out with, and Reggie, the town's bad boy, Monique must go on trips to unknown and uncomfortable places to find the treatment that will help her. But in doing so, she must face some home truths: maybe she shouldn't be fixing her body to please a boy, maybe Sasha is the friend she needed all along and maybe Reggie isn't so bad at all. This is a powerful story about the journey towards loving yourself, told with heart, humour and a delicious love triangle. Contains explicit references to sex and sexual health.

Understanding Media - James Curran, Joanna Redden
An authoritative and accessible guide to the world’s most influential force – the contemporary media Our lives are more mediated than ever before. Adults in economically advanced countries spend, on average, over eight hours per day interacting with the media. The news and entertainment industries are being transformed by the shift to digital platforms. But how much is really changing in terms of what shapes media content? What are the impacts on our public and imaginative life? And is the Internet a democratising tool of social protest, or of state and commercial manipulation?Drawing on decades of research to examine these and other questions, Understanding Media interrogates claims about the Internet, explores how representations in TV and film may influence perceptions of self, and traces overarching trends while attending to crucial local context, from the United States to China, Norway to Malaysia, and Brazil to Britain. Understanding Media is an accessible and essential guide to the world's most influential force - the contemporary media.
