Not Born Yesterday explains how we decide who we can trust and what we should believe - and argues that we're pretty good at making these decisions. In this lively and provocative book, Hugo Mercier demonstrates how virtually all attempts at mass persuasion - whether by religious leaders, politicians, or advertisers - fail miserably.

Story39
For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith - and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, this audiobook offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith - but for talking them out of it.

A compelling investigation into one of our most coveted and cherished ideals, and the efforts of modern science to penetrate the mysterious nature of this timeless virtue. We all recognize wisdom, but defining it is more elusive. In this fascinating journey from philosophy to science, Stephen S. Hall gives us a dramatic history of wisdom, from its sudden emergence in four different locations (Greece, China, Israel, and India) in the fifth century B.C. to its modern manifestations.

The Feeling of Value

Story0
This revolutionary treatise starts from one fundamental premise: that our phenomenal consciousness includes direct experience of value. For too long, ethical theorists have looked for value in external states of affairs or reduced value to a projection of the mind onto them. The result, unsurprisingly, is widespread antirealism about ethics. In this book, Sharon Hewitt Rawlette turns our metaethical gaze inward and dares us to consider that value, rather than being something “out there”, is a quality woven into the very fabric of our conscious experience, in a highly objective way.

In Stop Being Reasonable, philosopher and journalist Eleanor Gordon-Smith tells six lucid, gripping stories that show the limits of human reason. From the woman who realised her husband harboured a terrible secret, to the man who left the cult he had been raised in since birth, and the British reality TV contestant who, having impersonated someone else for a month, discovered he could no longer return to his former identity, all of the people interviewed radically altered their beliefs about the things that matter most.

The Liminal Spectrum: Truth, Order, and the Line Between challenges one of modern life’s deepest assumptions: that approved knowledge is the same as truth. Caleb A. Farmer explores the hidden “approval economy” that shapes what societies call objective, neutral, and legitimate, arguing that consensus often reflects power, timing, and institutional permission more than final reality. Moving through philosophy, sociology, theology, and cultural critique, the book reframes subjectivity and objectivity as positions on a threshold rather than opposites.

Do any of us really care about truth when it comes to politics? Should we? In a world of big lies, denialism, and conspiracy theories, democracies are experiencing two interlocked crises: a loss of confidence in democracy itself and the growing sense among many that politics is only about power—not truth. In this book, Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth not only can—but must—matter in politics. He shows why truth is an essential democratic value—a value we need to sustain our democratic way of life—and how it can be strengthened.

As we stand on the cusp of a new political reality, the contours of personal freedom and autonomy are becoming increasingly well-defined. The future holds the possibility of an existence where the barriers to living life on one’s own terms are ever-diminishing, where the power of voluntarily connected individuals challenges and reshapes the statist quo. Even though the journey toward this new reality is fraught with trade-offs and challenges, it has the potential for unprecedented freedom and philosophical fulfillment.

You may be living in a simulation right now. Not science fiction. Not paranoia. Math. If advanced civilizations can create realistic simulations of conscious beings, and if they create billions of them, then statistically you're almost certainly in one. The odds are overwhelming. The evidence is everywhere: Quantum mechanics behaves like optimized rendering code. Physical constants are calibrated to impossible precision. Consciousness collapses probability waves. Reality glitches when you're not looking.

Why is the genome of a salamander 40 times larger than that of a human? Why does the avocado tree produce a million flowers and only a hundred fruits? Why, in short, is there so much waste in nature? In this lively and wide-ranging meditation on the curious accidents and unexpected detours on the path of life, Daniel Milo argues that we ask these questions because we’ve embraced a faulty conception of how evolution - and human society - really works.

Epistemic vices are character traits, attitudes, or thinking styles that prevent us from gaining, keeping, or sharing knowledge. In this book, Quassim Cassam gives an account of the nature and importance of these vices, which include closed-mindedness, intellectual arrogance, wishful thinking, and prejudice. In providing the first extensive coverage of vice epistemology, an exciting new area of philosophical research, Vices of the Mind uses real examples drawn primarily from the world of politics to develop a compelling theory of epistemic vice.

More than at any other time in human history, we live in an age defined by movement and mobility; yet, we lack a unifying theory which takes this seriously as a starting point for philosophy. The history of philosophy has systematically explained movement as derived from something else that does not move: space, eternity, force, and time.

In Gödel’s Shadow: Why No System Can Explain Itself, Boris Kriger explores one of the most unsettling discoveries of modern logic and follows its consequences far beyond mathematics. Beginning with Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, the book traces how any system capable of describing itself inevitably encounters truths it cannot justify from within. What emerges is not a technical puzzle, but a profound philosophical insight into the nature of reason, meaning, and explanation.

What if the greatest obstacle to knowledge lies not in the world but in ourselves? Four centuries ago, Francis Bacon revolutionized human thought by identifying the “idols of the mind”—systematic biases that distort our understanding. Today, modern science has confirmed his insights with mathematical precision: the structure of our assumptions determines what we can know, often more fundamentally than the evidence we gather or the intelligence we apply.
