Die Grenzen des Wissens
In den vergangenen hundert Jahren hat die Menschheit spektakuläre Fortschritte bei der Wissenserlangung über das Universum, die Vergangenheit und sich selbst gemacht. Die Geschichte der großen vorklassischen Zivilisationen und die Geschichte der menschlichen Evolution wurden erkundet und detailliert kartiert. Diese Fortschritte waren enorm, aufregend und folgenreich. Doch eine bemerkenswerte Tatsache begleitet diese Entwicklungen: Während man frü…
Toward Peace
As part of the roundtable “World Peace (And How We Can Achieve It),” this essay argues that an ideal state of peace might not be attainable, but a positive form of peace could be achieved on a global scale if states and peoples made a serious investment—comparable to their investment in military expenditure—in promoting the kind of mutual cultural understanding that reduces tensions and divisions and fosters cooperation. Peacemaking usually focus…

In this fascinating exploration of friendship through the ages, one of the most thought-provoking philosophers of our time tracks historical ide…

Against All Gods
Do religions have an inherent right to be respected? Is atheism itself a form of religion, and can there be such a thing as a 'fundamentalist atheist'? Are we witnessing a global revival in religious zeal, or do the signs point instead to religion's ultimate decline? In a series of bold, unsparing polemics, A C Grayling tackles these questions head on, exposing the dangerous unreason he sees at the heart of religious faith and highlighting the ur…
‘A Nature Towards One Another’
Hazlitt had been trying to write his then-intractable ‘metaphysical choke-pear’, the Essay on the Principles of Human Action , for several years before his celebrated visit to Coleridge and Wordsworth in Somerset in the summer of 1797. During that visit he made a walking tour along the Bristol Channel with Coleridge as far as Linton, where, while staying at the village inn, they were told by a local fisherman that a boy had drowned off Linton bea…
