En este ensayo breve y visionario, el filósofo surcoreano reinterpreta la obra de la filósofa francesa como una brújula ética y espiritual para nuestro tiempo. Frente a un mundo dominado por el rendimiento, el consumo y la hiperactividad, Weil —y con ella Han— nos invita a redescubrir el vacío, el silencio, la atención y la trascendencia como formas de vida posibles y necesarias.

Existentialism is the literary cri de coeur resulting from the realization that without God, everything good, true, and beautiful in human life is destined to be destroyed in a pitiless material cosmos. Theodore Dalrymple and Kenneth Francis examine the main existentialist works, from Ecclesiastes to the Theatre of the Absurd, each man coming from a different perspective. Francis is a believer, Dalrymple is not, but both empathize with the struggle to find meaning in a seemingly meaningless universe. This book is part literary criticism, part philosophical exploration....

Sacks argues that faiths must remain open to criticism, keep alive their separate communities and still contribute far more to national debates on moral issues. They must also learn to get along better. His thesis is that we still live under a Biblical canopy and that a cohesive morality needs the uniting bonds of faith. The subject of this book—religions and ethics—is good ground for him to build on: The Jewish contribution to ethics is distinctly rational and has a long and illustrious tradition. Moral philosophy is after all a Jewish preoccupation.

Greatness is not a gift. It is a weight. Most people are taught to pursue power, success, influence, and leadership but almost no one is taught how to carry them without breaking.

This book explores why: Good people collapse under responsibility Gifted leaders become harmful Institutions decay after success Power exposes fractures rather than creating them CARRYING is not a motivational book. It is...

The natural limits of the human body make us vulnerable and therefore dependent, throughout our lives, on others. Yet American law and policy disregard these stubborn facts, with statutes and judicial decisions that presume people to be autonomous, defined by their capacity to choose. As legal scholar O. Carter Snead points out, this individualistic ideology captures important truths about human freedom, but it also means that we have no obligations to each other unless we actively, voluntarily embrace them.
