This book is a continuation of my 'Motivation and Personality', published in 1954. It was, constructed in about the same way, that is, by doing one piece at a time of the larger theoretical structure. It is a predecessor to work yet to be done toward the construction of a comprehensive, systematic and empirically based general psychology and philosophy, which includes both the depths and the heights of human nature. The last chapter is to some extent...

El humanismo secular es un movimiento filosófico que se centra en la importancia de la razón, la ética y la justicia social en la construcción de una sociedad más justa y libre. Se basa sobre todo en la idea de que los seres humanos tenemos la capacidad y la responsabilidad de crear una vida significativa y moral sin depender de la religión o la superstición. 'Humanismo Secular: un manual para la vida' es la guía definitiva para aquellos que...

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.

La postmodernidad plantea con clarividencia un problema, aunque no aporte soluciones. La razón se ha desestructurado, apagando las luces y sumiendo a Occidente en la oscuridad. Solo alcanzamos a ver un mundo fragmentado. ¿Es posible encontrar senderos dentro de ese laberinto? ¿Qué propuestas hay, qué alternativas? El autor, recurriendo a Lyotard, Ratzinger y Wojtyla, propone la vía de la experiencia. Una vía fundada en la integralidad de la...

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...

With exceptionally clear analysis, James Fetzer dissects the philosophical issues underlying today's most contentious moral debates. He examines unflinchingly the controversies where science, religion, and politics meet - intelligent design, creationism, evolution, abortion, stem-cell research, and human cloning - and offers a concept of morality based on respect of individual rights, not religion.

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...

He offers a highly readable account of the serious challenge these humanist beliefs are posing to the church. He outlines resources to help Christian respond to the challenges of the new civic religion. This book includes ideal study material...
