{"product_id":"essays-on-philosophy-praxis-and-culture","title":"Essays on Philosophy, Praxis and Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection provides a panoramic view of practical philosophical insight, ranging across a spectrum of humanistic themes. These essays cast light on our perennially imperfect human condition. The collection ranges from Alfred Korzybski's general semantics; Thomas Mann's prognosis for Western civilization; Hume's moral skepticism applied to globalization; Jungian synchronicity and encounters with Irvin Yalom; J.S. Mill's harm principle applied to cyberspace; Ayn Rand's prophetic apocalypse; philosophical practice as Dadaist activism; humanities-based therapies as remedies for culturally induced illnesses; biological roots of human conflict; deconstruction and critique of \"sustainable development\"; dangers and detriments of over-digitalized and hyper-virtualized lifestyles and learning methods; and calls for the re-emergence of philosophy from inactive academic entombment to pro-active modes of personal guidance, social influence, consumer advocacy, and political engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA unifying claim of this anthology is the cautionary tale that humanity's recurrent and conflict-ridden predicaments are only exacerbated by myopic analyses, toxic ideologies, and expedient prescriptions. While philosophy is scarcely a panacea for human afflictions, its proper exercise illuminates our understanding of them, thereby suggesting better as opposed to worse ways forward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54248409399640,"sku":"9781839980572","price":92.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781839980572_faba7a54-9209-40b3-979d-77d24d076994.jpg?v=1765628147","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/essays-on-philosophy-praxis-and-culture","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
