Erich Fromm's groundbreaking examination of an age-old question, and a stunning look at how to pursue a life with purpose and meaning Life in the modern age began when people no longer lived at the mercy of nature and instead took control of it. We planted crops so we didn't have to forage, and produced planes, trains, and cars for transport. With televisions and computers, we don't have to leave home to see the world. Somewhere in that process, the...

The present paper is an attempt to formulate a positive theory of motivation, which will satisfy these theoretical demands and at the same time conform to the known facts, clinical and observational as well as experimental. It derives most directly, however, from clinical experience. This theory is, I think, in the functionalist tradition of James and Dewey, and is, fused with the holism of Wertheimer, Goldstein, and Gestalt Psychology, and with the...

Dios, el hombre y la muerte son problemas cuya verdad radica más en su planteamiento que en su solución. Esta obra da fe de ello. La primera aproximación se basa en el método cartesiano. El hombre es el tema central de la segunda aproximación. Finalmente, la aproximación a la muerte deja en claro que la estetización religiosa, metafísica o poética del morir no lo exime de su nexo ontológico con la nada.

Happiness is within everyone's grasp and is only a matter of making the right choices. Taking destiny into one's own hands and having the creative audacity to strive, seek, and meet challenges is the essence of life's drama and exaltation. Life per se has no meaning; it only presents opportunity to be seized and acted upon, thus paving the way for personal achievement and the full life.
Paul Kurtz, in Exuberance, shows his readers how to banish drudgery...

Stars and galaxies, atoms and molecules, all created so to render a divine arena for God to love man and for man to love God. Atoms and molecules of our bodies observe the same physical laws as those stars of the cosmos. Yet divinity rests not with the stars but within each of us whose spirit seeks to touch them.
In the twenty-first century, it is now more appropriate to equate gender identity with a spiritual hemisphere (masculine or feminine) than...

El autor, recurriendo a Lyotard, Ratzinger y Wojtyla, propone la vía de la experiencia. Una vía fundada en la integralidad de la...

Scruton lleva a cabo una defensa radical de la singularidad humana. Frente a pensadores utilitaristas y materialistas como Richard Dawkins y Daniel Dennett, defiende que el ser humano no puede entenderse solo como un objeto biológico.
No somos solo animales humanos, somos personas que se relacionan con otras personas, sujetos de derechos y deberes. Nuestro mundo es un mundo compartido, libre, y para comprenderlo necesitamos dirigirnos a otros seres...

The unified field explanation of history What are we, and how does that affect what we believe and how we act - as individuals and nations? "Why" ties together religion, psychology and politics. Some of what it says is floating in the zeitgeist, but much approaches issues from new angles. It is short - a poem, not a tome.
