Eighty years ago, Ettore Majorana, a brilliant student of Enrico Fermi, disappeared under mysterious circumstances while going by ship from Palermo to Naples. How is it possible that the most talented physicist of his generation vanished without leaving a trace? It has long been speculated that Majorana decided to abandon physics, disappearing because he had precociously realized that nuclear fission would inevitably lead to the atomic bomb. This...

If Levinas and Negarestani raised a child enchanted by the dark, then this is his debut. In this book, Rosen argues that current archaeological theoretic approaches are not up to the task of adequately theorizing exhumation in our present age of extinctions. Speculative Annihilationism attempts to "think thought's extinction," suggesting a new ontological ground for archaeology. Combining contemporary work in speculative philosophy, saprophytic dialectics,...

En este texto que marca el paso entre las obras de juventud y los escritos de madurez, Hegel pasa revista a tres filósofos de su tiempo con los que llega a su plenitud el pensamiento moderno: Kant, Jacobi y Fichte. Son "filosofías de la reflexión", producto del llamado "giro a la subjetividad" iniciado por Descartes. La discusión gira en torno a la relación entre creer y saber, conceptos que el criticismo kantiano había diferenciado claramente....

Time seems to flash by when we are enjoying ourselves, and slows to a crawl when we are bored. Why? Does time exist, or is it an illusion? Does it flow? Is it linear? How real are our memories? When is now? These are just some of the questions that Time To Tell asks in its foray into what time is for us, what it does to us and for us, and how we live and react to it in our daily lives. Digging down to the roots of our lived experience in the world,...

Time, Thought, and Vulnerability presents the results of an investigation of the conditions on which circumstanced which lie beyond the ken (let alone the control) of a reasoned, may jeopardize the validity of inferences whose correctness is supposed to be evaluable on a purely a priori basis. The discussion involves a careful examination of the ongoing debate about the transparency of mental content and the accessibility of the logical form of inferences....

This book identifies eight key mechanisms that can transform a set of ideas into a psychological flytrap. The author suggests that, like the black holes of outer space, from which nothing, not even light, can escape, our contemporary cultural landscape contains numerous intellectual black-holes-belief systems constructed in such a way that unwary passers-by can similarly find themselves drawn in. While such self-sealing bubbles of belief will most...

Pensar no es un acto que suceda naturalmente. No es un punto de partida, sino un punto de llegada. Este libro aborda el fenómeno del pensar como acto creativo, revolucionario. Cuando pensamos rompemos los límites de la razón, destruimos las categorías, es decir, no pensamos bajo una única y rígida lógica. Pensamos de múltiples formas simultáneamente; por ejemplo, podemos pensar en paralelo y de manera distribuida; hacemos saltos de pensamiento,...

Today, it' s not uncommon to get the impression that our claims to know are either doomed before they begin or that they have a status that approaches certainty. The pendulum seems to swing from one end to the other, with our educational institutions too often perpetuating both depending on the person being asked. Yet the question of how and if our claims to know are really justified remains central. * Is knowledge a purely social construct...
