Одна из самых известных работ Эриха Фромма – «Искусство любить» – посвящена непростым психологическим аспектам возникновения и сохранения человеком такого, казалось бы, простого чувства, как любовь. Действительно ли любовь – искусство? Если да, то она требует труда и знаний. Или это только приятное ощущение?.. Для большинства проблема любви – это прежде всего проблема того, как быть любимым, а не того, как любить самому…

«Наука логики» Гегеля – одно из тех произведений, которые оставляют глубокий след в сознании человека, в его духовном совершенствовании. Своим учением знаменитый немецкий философ вошел в историю как выдающийся реформатор науки о мышлении (разработал и развил его диалектические формы), о закономерностях и способах познания. Основная задача логики, по Гегелю, – познание истины. И он исследовал пути, ведущие к истине, и эволюцию этих путей. Сама же логика ни на каком этапе своего исторического развития не может быть законченной наукой – она оставляет свои двери открытыми для новых выводов и новых понятий. Поэтому учение Гегеля всегда современно и вызывает неизменный интерес.

Для многих мыслителей научный прогресс стал условием продвижения общества к свободе, счастью и общественному благополучию. Наука, прогресс и гуманизм, свобода от религиозных предрассудков, цивилизация. О ключевых понятиях плодотворной эпохи и обновлённой Европе на лекции профессора Андрея Зубова.

Arguably the most prolific and most widely read philosopher of our time, Slavoj Zizek has made indelible interventions into many disciplines of the so-called human sciences that have transformed the terms of discussion in these fields. Although his work has been the subject of many volumes of searching criticism and commentary, there is no assessment to date of the value of his work for the development of these disciplines. Zizek Now brings together distinguished critics to explore the utility and far-ranging implications of Zizek's thought and provide an evaluation of the difference his work makes or promises to make in their chosen fields. As such, the volume offers chapters on quantum physics and Zizek's transcendentalist materialist theory of the subject, Hegel's absolute, materialist Christianity, postcolonial violence, eco-politics, ceremonial acts, and the postcolonial revolutionary subject. Contributors to the volume include Adrian Johnston, Ian Parker, Todd McGowan, Bruno Bosteels, Erik Vogt, Verena Conley, Joshua Ramey, Jamil Khader, and Zizek himself.
