Are you still the person who lived fifteen, ten or five years ago? Fifteen, ten or five minutes ago? Can you plan for your retirement if the you of thirty years hence is in some sense a different person? What and who is the real you? Does it remain constant over time and place, or is it something much more fragmented and fluid? Is it known to you, or are you as much a mystery to yourself as others are to you?With his usual wit, infectious curiosity and bracing scepticism, Julian Baggini sets out to answer these fundamental and unsettling questions. His fascinating quest draws on the history of philosophy, but also anthropology, sociology, psychology and neurology; he talks to theologians, priests, allegedly reincarnated Lamas, and delves into real-life cases of lost memory, personality disorders and personal transformation; and, candidly and engagingly, he describes his own experiences. After reading The Ego Trick, you will never see yourself in the same way again.

On the face of it, Gabriel Axel's Babette's Feast (1989) is a film in which the eyes - and mouths - of religious zealots are opened to the glories of the sensual world. It is a critique of what Nietzsche called life-denying religion in favour of life-affirming sensuality. But to view the film in that way is to get it profoundly wrong. In his study of the film, Julian Baggini argues that Babette's Feast is not about the battle between religiosity and secularity but a deep examination of how the two can come together. Baggini's analysis focuses on themes of love, pleasure, artisty and grace, to provide a rich philosophical reading of this most sensual of films.

How we eat, farm and shop for food is not only a matter of taste. Our choices regarding what we eat involve every essential aspect of our human nature: the animal, the sensuous, the social, the cultural, the creative, the emotional and the intellectual. Thinking seriously about food requires us to consider our relationship to nature, to our fellow animals, to each other and to ourselves. So can thinking about food teach us about being virtuous, and can what we eat help us to decide how to live?\n\nFrom the author of The Ego Trick and The Pig that Wants to be Eaten comes a thought-provoking exploration of our values and vices. What can fasting teach us about autonomy? Should we, like Kant, 'dare to know' cheese? Should we take media advice on salt with a pinch of salt? And can food be more virtuous, more inherently good, than art?

L'etica è la branca della filosofia che si occupa dei problemi morali che ciascuno di noi è chiamato ad affrontare sia nei passaggi cruciali della propria esistenza sia nella vita quotidiana. L'autore illustra venti grandi temi rappresentativi di questa disciplina partendo da esempi concreti, esperimenti mentali e suggestioni tratte dalla letteratura, dal cinema e dalla cronaca. Con una narrazione coinvolgente e un linguaggio accessibile, Baggini porta gradualmente il lettore a familiarizzare con l'analisi filosofica di questi temi e con le posizioni assunte dai grandi pensatori del passato. L'intento dell'autore non consiste nel dare risposte preconfezionate, ma piuttosto nel fornire i necessari strumenti per aiutarci a riflettere consapevolmente e a compiere scelte migliori da un punto di vista etico.

How we live is shaped by how we eat. You can see this in the vastly different approaches to growing, preparing and eating food around the world, such as the hunter-gatherer Hadza in Tanzania whose sustainable lifestyle is under threat in a crowded planet, or Western societies whose food is farmed or bred in vast intensive enterprises. And most of us now rely on a complex global food web of production, distribution, consumption and disposal, which is now contending with unprecedented challenges.\n\nThe need for a better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent. In this wide-ranging and definitive book, philosopher Julian Baggini expertly delves into the best and worst food practises in a huge array of different societies, past and present. His exploration takes him from cutting-edge technologies, such as new farming methods, cultured meat, GM and astronaut food, to the ethics and health of ultra processed food and aquaculture, as he takes a forensic look at the effectiveness of our food governance, the difficulties of food wastage and the effects of commodification.\n\nExtracting essential principles to guide how we eat in the future, How the World Eats advocates for a pluralistic, humane, resourceful and equitable global food philosophy, so we can build a food system fit for the twenty-first century and beyond.

This book is aimed at the reader who is serious about confronting the big issues in life but is turned off by books which deal with them through religion, spirituality or 'psycho-babble'. It is for people who want an honest, intelligent discussion which doesn't hide from the difficulties or make undeliverable promises. It aims to help the reader to understand the overlooked issues behind the obvious questions and shows how philosophy does not so much answer them as help provide us with the resources to answer them for ourselves.

Non sarebbe tutto più facile se anche la vita avesse un libretto di istruzioni? Non esiste un elenco di regole che funzioni per tutti noi, ma quello che avete tra le mani è un manuale per gli utenti della vita, scritto da altri utenti con più esperienza per aiutarci a vivere meglio, a vedere con maggiore chiarezza nei momenti di crisi e superare la confusione e i dubbi quotidiani. \"Vita\" è un prontuario per tutti, organizzato per voci da consultare a seconda delle necessità o dei problemi da fronteggiare. Non offre norme inflessibili o indicazioni da seguire in modo acritico, ma suggerimenti, esempi, idee su cui riflettere e discutere, attraverso i quali possiamo vedere in modo più distinto il nostro percorso e prendere le decisioni migliori. Cercare o meno soddisfazione nel lavoro, sopportare la noia, districarsi nel campo minato delle relazioni e delle amicizie, affrontare la perdita e il dolore, riscoprire il piacere dell'ozio e del tempo libero, gestire l'ansia, prendersi cura delle persone care in difficoltà: in queste pagine ci sono consigli per tutte le situazioni in cui ci troviamo ogni giorno. Julian Baggini e Antonia Macaro traggono spunto da un enorme serbatoio di saggezza - da Aristotele a Hume, da Heidegger a Confucio, da Epicuro a Sartre - e allestiscono una vera e propria farmacia sapienziale cui attingere liberamente per combattere le inquietudini del nostro tempo, con rimedi testati attraverso secoli di esperienza e universalmente apprezzati da tutta l'umanità.

Atheism is often considered to be a negative or pessimistic belief which is characterized by a rejection of values and purpose and a fierce opposition to religion. This Very Short Introduction sets out to dispel the myths that surround atheism, arguing that most western atheism is so-named only because it exists in a tradition in which theism is the norm. Julian Baggini instead asserts that atheists are typically naturalists, who believe that meaning and morality are possible in a finite, natural world.\n\nThis second edition includes a new chapter covering the impact and legacy of 'New Atheism', a powerful new movement in atheism in the early twenty first century, driven by books from authors such as Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, and which is having a profound impact across the Western world. Baggini also considers whether East Asia has been historically atheist, and atheism in recent European history, before exploring the position of atheists around the world today. Throughout, the book presents an intellectual case for atheism that rests as much upon positive arguments for its truth as on negative arguments against religion. \n\nVery Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring \n\nABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
