Pressentant l'imminence d'un cataclysme planétaire, sept sages venus des quatre coins du monde se réunissent dans un monastère perdu des montagnes tibétaines pour transmettre à Tenzin et Natina, deux adolescents, les clés de la sagesse universelle. Au-delà des différences de leurs traditions respectives mais inspirés par ce que les philosophes antiques appelaient l'"âme du monde" - cette force bienveillante qui maintient l'harmonie de l'univers - ils répondent aux questions essentielles.

"Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), médecin suisse, pionnier de la psychanalyse, est l'un des plus grands penseurs du XXe siècle. Il reste assez méconnu en France, alors que ses idées ont exercé une influence profonde sur notre culture contemporaine et qu'il a été l'inventeur de nombreux concepts révolutionnaires, comme la synchronicité, l'inconscient collectif, les archétypes ou les complexes. Il est avec Spinoza l'un des auteurs qui m'ont le plus marqué et il a eu un impact décisif sur ma vision du monde et de moi-même."

"De tous mes livres de philosophie et de spiritualité, celui-ci est certainement le plus accessible, mais sans doute aussi le plus utile. Car ce n'est pas un savoir théorique que je cherche à transmettre, mais une connaissance pratique, la plus essentielle qui soit : comment mener une vie bonne, heureuse, en harmonie avec soi-même et avec les autres. Exister est un fait, vivre est un art. Tout le chemin de la vie, c'est passer de l'ignorance à la connaissance, de la peur à l'amour." Frédéric Lenoir

"Que vaudrait une vie sans désirs ? C'est leur variété et leur intensité qui nous poussent à agir et nous donnent le sentiment d'être pleinement vivants". Désirer vivre, ce n'est pas simplement être en vie. C'est nous laisser entraîner par l'élan vital qui nous conduit à créer, à aimer, à nous dépasser. C'est cultiver la puissance du désir qui est le moteur de nos existences. Pourtant, au quotidien, nous ressentons de nombreuses limitations - "Je ne suis pas capable", "C'est trop risqué", "Ce n'est pas pour toi" - qui nous inhibent.

L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps, une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne, une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique.

"18 juillet. Hier à midi, sur la plage de Tipaza, un employé de bureau dénommé Meursault, demeurant rue Bab-Azoun à Alger, a tué de cinq balles de revolver un Arabe non encore identifié. Les motifs du crime restent inconnus. Arrêté, Meursault a été transféré à la prison d'Alger." Jugé, reconnu coupable de meurtre avec préméditation, condamné à mort et exécuté, on ne saura jamais pourquoi Meursault a tué. Il assiste à son procès comme si c'était un autre qu'on jugeait. Une profonde réflexion sur l'être et la vie.

Aller à la rencontre de tribus vivant de manière traditionnelle depuis des millénaires : c’est la voie singulière qu’a empruntée Guillaume Dulude pour comprendre, analyser et expérimenter la communication. Cet aventurier au profil scientifique a tiré de ses observations une conclusion étonnante : des lois et des mécanismes régissant le fonctionnement du cerveau et, par extension, de la communication humaine sont similaires à celles structurant l’Univers.

Cette "Brève histoire de l'humanité" déroule notre histoire globale, des premiers hominidés à aujourd'hui et interroge l'avenir qui nous attend. Comment l'"Homo Sapiens" a-t-il réussi à dominer la Terre ? Quelle singularité nous a permis de s'unir pour créer villes et empires, l'idée de religion, les concepts politiques de nation ou plus récemment des droits de l'homme ? Pourquoi cette dépendance et cette croyance que notre bonheur dépend de l'argent et de la possibilité de consommer ?

Et si certaines de vos blessures d'enfant vous empêchaient de vous construire sereinement ? Thich Nhat Hanh nous aide grâce à des exercices de respiration, de concentration et de méditation à apaiser la colère, la peur, la tristesse qui hantent encore nos vies d'adulte, et à les transformer en une force de réconciliation et de compassion.

Il faut prêter attention aux analyses d'Amin Maalouf : ses intuitions se révèlent des prédictions, tant il semble avoir la prescience des grands bouleversements de l'Histoire. Il s'inquiétait il y a vingt ans de la montée des "identités meurtrières" ; il y a dix ans du "dérèglement du monde".

Editorial reviews
Frédéric Lenoir, philosophe, sociologue et essayiste, Docteur de l’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) et auteur mondialement reconnu, dresse ici un très beau portrait de Baruch Spinoza, philosophe exceptionnel, qui a failli être assassiné pour ses idées. L'auteur nous explique dans son ouvrage de quelle manière Spinoza était en avance sur son temps, de par ses idées et aussi de par son interprétation de la philosophie qui sera un pilier fondateur des Lumières, mettant en avant le désir et la joie. La lecture de ce texte, par David Manet, est limpide et claire, et favorise la compréhension de cet essai complexe. À écouter et réécouter !
Publisher's summary
Banni de la communauté juive à 23 ans pour hérésie, Baruch Spinoza décide de consacrer sa vie à la philosophie. Son objectif ? Découvrir un bien véritable qui lui "procurerait pour l'éternité la jouissance d'une joie suprême et incessante." Au cours des vingt années qui lui restent à vivre, Spinoza édifie une œuvre révolutionnaire. Comment cet homme a-t-il pu, en plein XVIIe siècle, être le précurseur des Lumières et de nos démocraties modernes ? Le pionnier d'une lecture historique et critique de la Bible ? Le fondateur de la psychologie des profondeurs ? L'initiateur de la philologie, de la sociologie, et de l'éthologie ? Et surtout, l'inventeur d'une philosophie fondée sur le désir et la joie, qui bouleverse notre conception de Dieu, de la morale et du bonheur ?
À bien des égards, Spinoza est non seulement très en avance sur son temps, mais aussi sur le nôtre. C'est ce que j'appelle le "miracle" Spinoza. (F. L.)

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story5 out of 5 stars 3,546
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.
