Condition: very good. Edited by M.A. Lavery. London & New York : Continuum, c2007. paperback. xii, 165 p. ; 20 cm. - "Philosophy for Life" is a bold call for the practice of philosophy in our everyday lives. Philosopher and writer Rupert Read explores a series of important and often provocative contemporary political and cultural issues from a philosophical perspective, arguing that philosophy is not a body of doctrine, but a practice, a vantage point from which life should be analysed and, more importantly, acted upon. "Philosophy for Life" is a personal journey that explores four key areas of society today: Politics, Religion, Art, and the Environment. Taking tangible examples from modern politics, from climate change to the war on terror, and culture, from Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy to the poetry of TS Eliot, Read shows that philosophy is already an active part of today's world. This captivating and timely book offers a philosophical response to some of the key questions facing today's society and encourages us to use philosophy as a kind of therapy. "Philosophy for Life" shows that we can improve our perspective on the world and our place in it by doing philosophy everyday. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9780826495600. Keywords : PHILOSOPHY.…

Rústica. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Este es el primer libro que revela cómo, en la actualidad, ya hay profesionales de distintos sectores que están empezando a colaborar incorporando en su trabajo y en sus vidas la aceptación de un colapso social probable o inminente. . Esta corriente social y cultural, llamada Adaptación Profunda, se ocupa de los cambios personales y colectivos que podrían ayudar a nuestras sociedades a prepararnos para una ruptura o un colapso como consecuencia del clima. . Los autores de esta obra parten de la premisa de que nuestros actuales sistemas económicos, sociales y políticos no podrán ser resilientes al cambio climático y, como respuesta a esta asunción, describen una serie de alternativas solidarias y creativas mediante las cuales la gente está proponiendo respuestas al desafío más difícil que la humanidad haya tenido que afrontar jamás. . La corriente Adaptación Profunda ofrece un marco de apoyo transversal y multidisciplinar para responder a la aterradora realidad de la creciente perturbación climática. El compromiso de este movimiento está dirigido a reducir el sufrimiento colectivo al tiempo que salvamos lo máximo posible de la sociedad y del mundo natural. . Editado por el creador del concepto de Adaptación Profunda, Jem Bendell, y un destacado activista, pensador y estratega climático, Rupert Read, este libro es la introducción esencial al concepto, la práctica y el movimiento mundial emergente de Adaptación Profunda al actual caos climático. . Este es el momento adecuado para un libro, como este, que discuta las diversas implicaciones de anticipar el colapso social. Adaptación profunda es una agenda y un marco para responder al potencial, probable o inevitable colapso de las sociedades industriales de consumo debido a los impactos directos o indirectos del cambio climático y de la degradación ambiental causados por los humanos.
