Ellenberg chases mathematical threads through a vast range of time and space, from the everyday to the cosmic, encountering, among other things, baseball, Reaganomics, daring lottery schemes, Voltaire, the replicability crisis in psychology, Italian Renaissance painting, artificial languages, the development of non-Euclidean geometry, the coming obesity apocalypse, Antonin Scalia's views on crime and punishment, the psychology of slime molds, what Facebook can and can't figure out about you, and the existence of God. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ellenberg pulls from history as well as from the latest theoretical developments to provide those not trained in math with the knowledge they need.

It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic and free. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

The unstated objective of his lecture (\"Existentialism Is a Humanism\") was to expound his philosophy as a form of \"existentialism,\" a term much bandied about at the time. Sartre asserted that existentialism was essentially a doctrine for philosophers, though, ironically, he was about to make it accessible to a general audience. The published text of his lecture quickly became one of the bibles of existentialism and made Sartre an international celebrity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The idea of freedom occupies the center of Sartre's doctrine. Man, born into an empty, godless universe, is nothing to begin with. He creates his essence--his self, his being--through the choices he freely makes (\"existence precedes essence\"). Were it not for the contingency of his death, he would never end. Choosing to be this or that is to affirm the value of what we choose. In choosing, therefore, we commit not only ourselves but all of mankind.

In captivity, octopuses have been known to identify individual human keepers, raid neighboring tanks for food, turn off lightbulbs by spouting jets of water, plug drains, and make daring escapes. How is it that a creature with such gifts evolved through an evolutionary lineage so radically distant from our own? What does it mean that evolution built minds not once but at least twice? The octopus is the closest we will come to meeting an intelligent alien. What can we learn from the encounter? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eOther Minds\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter Godfrey-Smith, a distinguished philosopher of science and a skilled scuba diver, tells a bold new story of how subjective experience crept into being--how nature became aware of itself. As Godfrey-Smith stresses, it is a story that largely occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared. Tracking the mind's fitful development, Godfrey-Smith shows how unruly clumps of seaborne cells began living together and became capable of sensing, acting, and signaling. As these primitive organisms became more entangled with others, they grew more complicated. The first nervous systems evolved, probably in ancient relatives of jellyfish; later on, the cephalopods, which began as inconspicuous mollusks, abandoned their shells and rose above the ocean floor, searching for prey and acquiring the greater intelligence needed to do so. Taking an independent route, mammals and birds later began their own evolutionary journeys. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut what kind of intelligence do cephalopods possess? Drawing on the latest scientific research and his own scuba-diving adventures, Godfrey-Smith probes the many mysteries that surround the lineage. How did the octopus, a solitary creature with little social life, become so smart? What is it like to have eight tentacles that are so packed with neurons that they virtually \"think for themselves\"? What happens when some octopuses abandon their hermit-like ways and congregate, as they do in a unique location off the coast of Australia? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy tracing the question of inner life back to its roots and comparing human beings with our most remarkable animal relatives, Godfrey-Smith casts crucial new light on the octopus mind--and on our own.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Godfrey-Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is a distinguished professor of philosophy at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, and a professor of the history and philosophy of science at the University of Sydney.

A student of philosophy from his earliest youth, he was especially influenced by the first-century Stoic thinker Epictetus.

The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFurthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call \"efficient\" not efficient at all?

She feels it is important to continually ask ourselves the question, \"What does it mean to be human?\" by putting ourselves in places we can be challenged and changed, by telling ourselves the truth, and by sitting in some form of prayer, meditation, or reflection daily. Deborah currently resides in Duluth with her husband Doug, a Lutheran minister, where their conversations around spirituality remain lively. Her life is enriched by their two sons and four grandchildren.

A Yale philosopher identifies the ten pillars of fascist politics, and charts their horrifying rise and deep history.\r\n\r\n“A vital read . . . The book provides a fascinating breakdown of the fascist ideology, nimbly interweaving examples from Germany, Italy and Hungary, from Rwanda and Myanmar to Serbia and, yes, the US. As he proceeds through his framework of the broadest features of his subject, Stanley includes smaller observations that may for some readers land bracingly close to home.” - The Guardian\r\n\r\n“There are moments in which the fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance, and such times always bring with them the resurrection of ugly myths. And yet, as Jason Stanley, one of this nation’s most important philosophers, makes clear, when such myths are deconstructed and their history is laid bare, we remember the extraordinary ties that in fact bind us together. And in the fire of that powerful recollection, modern-day fascism—the current myth-dependent moment of intolerance, xenophobia, and fearmongering in which we find ourselves—can be rendered to ash.” - Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Blood in the Water\r\n\r\n“With unsettling insight and disturbing clarity, How Fascism Works is an essential guidebook to our current national dilemma of democracy vs. authoritarianism. The fingerprints of the fascist past are visible in the present, and this volume bravely shines a light upon them.” - William Jelani Cobb, author of The Substance of Hope\r\n\r\nAs the child of refugees of World War II Europe and a renowned philosopher and scholar of propaganda, Jason Stanley has a deep understanding of how democratic societies can be vulnerable to fascism: Nations don't have to be fascist to suffer from fascist politics. In fact, fascism's roots have been present in the United States for more than a century.\r\n\r\nAlarmed by the pervasive rise of fascist tactics both at home and around the globe, Stanley focuses here on the structures that unite them, laying out and analyzing the ten pillars of fascist politics--the language and beliefs that separate people into an \"us\" and a \"them.\" He knits together reflections on history, philosophy, sociology, and critical race theory with stories from contemporary Hungary, Poland, India, Myanmar, and the United States, among other nations. He makes clear the immense danger of underestimating the cumulative power of these tactics, which include exploiting a mythic version of a nation's past; propaganda that twists the language of democratic ideals against themselves; anti-intellectualism directed against universities and experts; law and order politics predicated on the assumption that members of minority groups are criminals; and fierce attacks on labor groups and welfare. These mechanisms all build on one another, creating and reinforcing divisions and shaping a society vulnerable to the appeals of authoritarian leadership.\r\n\r\nBy uncovering disturbing patterns that are as prevalent today as ever, Stanley reveals that the stuff of politics--charged by rhetoric and myth--can quickly become policy and reality. Only by recognizing fascists politics, he argues, may we resist its most harmful effects and return to democratic ideals.  \r\n\r\nAuthor Biography: \r\nJASON STANLEY is the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. He is the author of 5 books, including How Propaganda Works, winner of the Prose Award in Philosophy from the Association of American Publishers, and How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, about which Citizen author Claudia Rankine states: \"No single book is as relevant to our present moment.\" Stanley serves on the board of the Prison Policy Initiative and writes frequently about propaganda, free speech, mass incarceration, democracy, and authoritarianism for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Boston Review, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and The Guardian.\n            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.9 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 26, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63058041012573,"sku":"9780525511854","price":27.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/5558\/2813\/files\/clJpWW9NdVpSUXoxR2ttdWlyN0tGUT09.webp?v=1767909131"},{"product_id":"the-boy-the-mole-the-fox-and-the-horse-deluxe-yellow-edition-hardcover","title":"The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse Deluxe (Yellow) Edition - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eCharlie Mackesy\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e#1 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e BESTSELLER\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWALL STREET JOURNAL \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBESTSELLER \u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSA TODAY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e BESTSELLER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e is not only a thought-provoking, discussion-worthy story, the book itself is an object of art.\"- Elizabeth Egan, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA deluxe edition with special endpapers and a yellow spine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom British illustrator, artist, and author Charlie Mackesy comes a journey for all ages that explores life's universal lessons, featuring 100 color and black-and-white drawings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"What do you want to be when you grow up?\" asked the mole.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Kind,\" said the boy.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlie Mackesy offers inspiration and hope in uncertain times in this beautiful book, following the tale of a curious boy, a greedy mole, a wary fox and a wise horse who find themselves together in sometimes difficult terrain, sharing their greatest fears and biggest discoveries about vulnerability, kindness, hope, friendship and love.
