Figures of the One Must Go is a book that dares you to listen to it. This modernist philosophical work adopts a playful attitude with the words within.

Questo dialogo è uno scritto che mette a confronto due modi di pensare. L'Anima è Leonardo da Vinci, espressione di un conoscitivismo non più degli inizi, ma pur sempre incapace di distinguere le varie forme di pensiero (magico, religioso, filosofico, scientifico, ecc.), confondendole tra loro. La Mente è Silvio Ceccato, espressione di un atteggiamento che vuole evitare il dogmatismo, ogni forma di verità considerata in sé assoluta o in sé relativa.

Critical thinking is a skill you can use and have to improve your day-to-day function and productivity, by allowing you to think sharply and clearly to easily solve problems, and make better decisions within your life.

38 dialektische Kunstgriffe, um in einer Diskussion Recht zu behalten: "Eristische Dialektik ist die Kunst zu disputieren, und zwar so zu disputieren, dass man Recht behält, also per fas et nefas. Man kann nämlich in der Sache selbst objektiv Recht haben und doch in den Augen der Beisteher, ja bisweilen in seinen eignen, Unrecht behalten. Wann nämlich der Gegner meinen Beweis widerlegt, und dies als Widerlegung der Behauptung selbst gilt, für die es jedoch andre Beweise geben kann; in welchem Fall natürlich für den Gegner das Verhältnis umgekehrt ist."

Begin to construct a life path that best suits your personality. Be honest with yourself. The key to success is enjoyment, and the key to enjoyment is accurate self-identification. Form your lifestyle around the way you work best, instead of letting your work form your lifestyle. Find soothing things that clear your mind and that allow you to progress. Often, a logical understanding of where you are, how you feel, or how you arrived at a situation will provide this clarity.

There are two activities in life that are essential to one's happiness.

An Uncommon Vocabulary is an exercise in saying one's say. Simply put it is an A-to-Z book of common words and phrases that are described in ways better suited to them, in the opinion of the author.

Rousseau s'interroge dans cet essai moins sur l'origine des langues à proprement parler que sur le fondement de la parole entendu comme cause historique et sociale du surgissement des langues. Là où beaucoup, à l'époque, imagine dans la naissance du langage la réponse rationnelle à un besoin de communication pratique entre les hommes, Rousseau lui, y voit la pleine expression sociale du caractère sensible de l'être humain soumis aux passions.

Perché un candidato alla Presidenza degli Stati Uniti può vincere le elezioni sbraitando menzogne come "Costruirò un muro fra gli Stati Uniti e il Messico e sarà il Messico a pagarlo"? Perché abbiamo voglia di comprare una confezione di Nespresso dopo aver visto l'ennesima pubblicità con George Clooney? Perché se ci troviamo in una città sconosciuta camminiamo con lo sguardo incollato allo schermo del telefonino, preoccupati solo di non perdere di vista Google Maps?

Desde que nos despertamos hasta que nos acostamos vivimos, convivimos y nos comunicamos a través de las palabras.

This audiobook explores metaphor not as an ornament of language but as the fundamental mechanism of human cognition. It argues that every act of understanding—scientific, poetic, or everyday—is rooted in the transfer of structure from one experiential domain to another. Metaphor is presented as the mind’s first technology, a generative tool through which complexity is compressed into meaningful form. Far from being a deviation from literal speech, it is shown to be the very fabric of thought itself, underlying logic, mathematics, and the formation of conceptual categories.

From the first flicker of gesture around the prehistoric fire to the endless hum of machine speech in the digital age, this book traces the evolution of communication — and with it, the evolution of thought, culture, and consciousness itself. Language is the foundation of civilization: the matrix from which society, morality, and meaning arise. Yet it is also our most dangerous creation — capable of liberation or control, truth or deception, empathy or manipulation. Through language, we built worlds; through language, we can also destroy them.
