Baggini Julian Title : Pensa come mangi. Una filosofia globale del cibo
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: Touring

Perché ciò che mangi decide la forma del mondo. Un manuale di sopravvivenza alle sfide alimentari del XXI secolo. Dovremmo conoscere l'origine del cibo che arriva sulle nostre tavole, gli effetti che ha sull'ambiente, la cultura, la salute, l'economia, il benessere di lavoratori e animali. Anche gli alimenti in apparenza più semplici nascondono filiere opache se non del tutto imperscrutabili, che ostacolano una piena consapevolezza delle nostre scelte di consumo. Se da un lato il commercio globale ha arricchito le nostre diete di prodotti e sapori mai incontrati prima, dall'altro ha fornito il pretesto per scatenare veri e propri scontri identitari intorno alla sacralità dei cosiddetti piatti tradizionali. Il cibo può essere scarso o sovrabbondante, ultraprocessato o biologico, oppure una forma d'arte, un simbolo comunitario, una rivendicazione di appartenenza. Ma oggi può essere soprattutto una scelta cosciente, non una semplice abitudine.

Baggini Julian; Macaro Antonia Title : Vita. Istruzioni per l'uso
Author: Baggini Julian; Macaro Antonia
Publisher: Il Saggiatore

Non sarebbe tutto più facile se anche la vita avesse un libretto di istruzioni? Non esiste un elenco di regole che funzioni per tutti noi, ma quello che avete tra le mani è un manuale per gli utenti della vita, scritto da altri utenti con più esperienza per aiutarci a vivere meglio, a vedere con maggiore chiarezza nei momenti di crisi e superare la confusione e i dubbi quotidiani. 'Vita' è un prontuario per tutti, organizzato per voci da consultare a seconda delle necessità o dei problemi da fronteggiare. Non offre norme inflessibili o indicazioni da seguire in modo acritico, ma suggerimenti, esempi, idee su cui riflettere e discutere, attraverso i quali possiamo vedere in modo più distinto il nostro percorso e prendere le decisioni migliori. Cercare o meno soddisfazione nel lavoro, sopportare la noia, districarsi nel campo minato delle relazioni e delle amicizie, affrontare la perdita e il dolore, riscoprire il piacere dell'ozio e del tempo libero, gestire l'ansia, prendersi cura delle persone care in difficoltà: in queste pagine ci sono consigli per tutte le situazioni in cui ci troviamo ogni giorno. Julian Baggini e Antonia Macaro traggono spunto da un enorme serbatoio di saggezza - da Aristotele a Hume, da Heidegger a Confucio, da Epicuro a Sartre - e allestiscono una vera e propria farmacia sapienziale cui attingere liberamente per combattere le inquietudini del nostro tempo, con rimedi testati attraverso secoli di esperienza e universalmente apprezzati da tutta l'umanità.

Baggini Julian Title : Ateismo. Una brevissima introduzione
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: Nessun dogma

Nonostante la sua crescente diffusione, soprattutto tra le fasce più giovani della popolazione, l'ateismo è un fenomeno ben poco compreso, spesso presentato in modo negativo. Nulla di più falso: l'ateismo può essere positivo, etico e pieno di significato. È quello che dimostra Julian Baggini in un testo molto breve, scritto per tutti coloro che vogliono capire velocemente cos'è l'ateismo, conoscere la sua storia, quali sono le sue posizioni etiche e i suoi scopi. Piacevolmente leggibile, argomentato nelle critiche alla religione e improntato a un approccio costruttivo, è un libro che gli atei potranno passare agli amici per motivare le proprie convinzioni, non prima di averne fatto uso essi stessi, perché li aiuti a mettere in ordine le proprie idee.

Baggini Julian Title : Without God, Is Everything Permitted?
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: Quercus

Can it ever be right to kill? Is terrorism ever justified? Should euthanasia be legal? Are some people superior to others? Do animals have rights?

Some ethical judgements are easy: one side is wrong and the other is right. But how do we handle the really tough 'right vs right' dilemmas, where each side has strong moral arguments? InWithout God, is Everything Permitted? bestselling author and philosopher Julian Baggini clear-sightedly and compassionately examines 20 of the most complex contemporary ethical dilemmas.

Whether it's asking if torture is always wrong, or if discrimination can ever be good, this book will help you sort out what you really believe about the issues that matter most.

Baggini Julian Title : Freedom Regained
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr

It’s a question that has puzzled philosophers and theologians for centuries and is at the heart of numerous political, social, and personal concerns: Do we have free will? In this cogent and compelling book, Julian Baggini explores the concept of free will from every angle, blending philosophy, sociology, and cognitive science to find rich new insights on the intractable questions that have plagued us. Are we products of our culture, or free agents within it? Are our neural pathways fixed early on by a mixture of nature and nurture, or is the possibility of comprehensive, intentional psychological change always open to us? And what, exactly, are we talking about when we talk about “freedom” anyway?

Freedom Regained brings the issues raised by the possibilities—and denials—of free will to thought-provoking life, drawing on scientific research and fascinating encounters with everyone from artists to prisoners to dissidents. He looks at what it means for us to be material beings in a universe of natural laws. He asks if there is any difference between ourselves and the brains from which we seem never able to escape. He throws down the wildcards and plays them to the fullest: What about art? What about addiction? What about twins? And he asks, of course, what this all means for politics.

Ultimately, Baggini challenges those who think free will is an illusion. Moving from doubt to optimism to a hedged acceptance of free will, he ultimately lands on a satisfying conclusion: it is something we earn. The result is a highly engaging, new, and more positive understanding of our sense of personal freedom, a freedom that is definitely worth having.

Baggini Julian Title : Le grandi domande. Etica
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: edizioni Dedalo

L'etica è la branca della filosofia che si occupa dei problemi morali che ciascuno di noi è chiamato ad affrontare sia nei passaggi cruciali della propria esistenza sia nella vita quotidiana. L'autore illustra venti grandi temi rappresentativi di questa disciplina partendo da esempi concreti, esperimenti mentali e suggestioni tratte dalla letteratura, dal cinema e dalla cronaca. Con una narrazione coinvolgente e un linguaggio accessibile, Baggini porta gradualmente il lettore a familiarizzare con l'analisi filosofica di questi temi e con le posizioni assunte dai grandi pensatori del passato. L'intento dell'autore non consiste nel dare risposte preconfezionate, ma piuttosto nel fornire i necessari strumenti per aiutarci a riflettere consapevolmente e a compiere scelte migliori da un punto di vista etico.

Baggini Julian Title : The Ego Trick
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: GRANTA BOOKS

Are you still the person who lived fifteen, ten or five years ago? Fifteen, ten or five minutes ago? Can you plan for your retirement if the you of thirty years hence is in some sense a different person? What and who is the real you? Does it remain constant over time and place, or is it something much more fragmented and fluid? Is it known to you, or are you as much a mystery to yourself as others are to you?With his usual wit, infectious curiosity and bracing scepticism, Julian Baggini sets out to answer these fundamental and unsettling questions. His fascinating quest draws on the history of philosophy, but also anthropology, sociology, psychology and neurology; he talks to theologians, priests, allegedly reincarnated Lamas, and delves into real-life cases of lost memory, personality disorders and personal transformation; and, candidly and engagingly, he describes his own experiences. After reading The Ego Trick, you will never see yourself in the same way again.

Baggini Julian, Fosl Peter S. Title : The Philosopher's Toolkit
Author: Baggini Julian, Fosl Peter S.
Publisher: Blackwell Pub

'This book is...an encyclopedia of philosophy. It should be of great use as a quick and accurate reference guide to the skill of philosophy, especially for beginners, but also for instructors ... highly recommended.'Choice

'The Philosopher's Toolkit is a very good book. It could be highly useful for both introductory courses in philosophy, or philosophical methodology, as well as independent study for anyone interested in the methods of argument, assessment and criticism ... It is unique in approach, and written in a pleasant and considerate tone.This book will help one to get going to do philosophy, but more advanced students might find this text helpful too. I wish I had had access to this book as an undergraduate.'-Teaching Philosophy

Building a solid intellectual foundation is crucial if one wishes to engage effectively in the practice of philosophy.This second edition of The Philosopher's Toolkit provides readers with the essential tools – the intellectual equipment – necessary for participating in thoughtful philosophical argument, reading and reflection.

The book begins with the basics of philosophical argumentation before moving on to address the important tools for assessment and criticism, the limits of argumentation and some of the radical critiques of standard philosophical methodology.Written in a highly accessible style, the entries are brought to life through the inclusion of vivid and colourful examples. For the second edition, many of the volume's original 87 entries have been enhanced, extended and updated, an entirely new chapter has been added on methods drawn from the history of philosophy, and the suggestions for further reading have been expanded.

This ingenious compendium of the methodologies and techniques of philosophy can be put to effective use in a variety of ways – as an introduction to the essentials of philosophical reflection, a comprehensive course on philosophical method or a quick reference for clear and concise accounts of key philosophical concepts and methods.

Baggini Julian Title : Should You Judge This Book by Its Cover?
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: Counterpoint

?Life is not a dress rehearsal.” ? Rose Tremain
?It's easy saying what things are not. Life is not a bed of roses, God is not an old man sitting in a cloud, winning isn't everything. Some negations, however, are more informative than others. Thinking about why an egg is not an elephant won't get you very far, whereas realizing life is not a dress rehearsal might. It's a reminder that this life is a one-shot deal, and if you mess it up, there's no second try.”
In Should You Judge This Book by Its Cover philosopher Julian Baggini examines the meanings behind a host of everyday expressions. Is it really always better to practice what you preach? To do as the Romans do? To be safe, not sorry?
In his quest for clarity in everyday language, Baggini leaves no saying behind as he considers such expressions as ?You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink” and ?If it ain't broke, don't fix it.” Far from a reference book, this entertaining collection is full of short, stimulating capsules of defiantly clear thinking that are meant to fuel thought and conversation.

Baggini Julian Title : Complaint
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: Profile Books Ltd

'Popular philosophy of the best kind' Financial Times

All major social advances started with a complaint: Emmeline Pankhurst, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela each brought about change by protesting that the status quo was wrong and needed to be rethought. Complaint has revolutionised society - yet it is now associated primarily with trivial moans and frivolous litigation.

Renowned popular philosopher Julian Baggini shows that in order to reclaim complaint as a positive force, we need to know what we wrongly complain about, and why. He explores every kind of complaint, from the contradictory to the paranoid and the Luddite, and presents a unique and revealing survey into whether Britons complain more than Americans, men more than women, the old more than the young.

This fascinating, witty insight into an essential part of the human condition will help you find the best way to bridge the gap between how things are and how we think they ought to be.

Baggini Julian Title : The Duck That Won the Lottery
Author: Baggini Julian
Publisher: Plume

From the author of the 'hugely entertaining'(Publishers Weekly) The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten, lessons in debunking the faulty arguments we hear every day

This latest book from the pop philosophy author of The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten tackles an endlessly fascinating area of popular debate-the faulty argument. Julian Baggini provides a rapid-fire selection of short, stimulating, and entertaining quotes from a wide range of famous people in politics, the media, and entertainment, including Donald Rumsfeld, Emma Thompson, Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, and Chris Martin. Each entry takes as its starting point an example of highly questionable-though oddly persuasive-reasoning from a broad variety of subjects. As Baggini teases out the logic in the illogical, armchair philosophers and aficionados of the absurd will find themselves nodding their heads as they laugh out loud. The Duck That Won the Lottery is perfect fodder for any cocktail party and pure pleasure for anyone who loves a good brain twister.

Baggini Julian, Fosl Peter S. Title : The Ethics Toolkit
Author: Baggini Julian, Fosl Peter S.
Publisher: Blackwell Pub

Paralleling the format of The Philosopher's Toolkit, this volume explains key concepts in ethics, including grounds for ethics (such as aesthetics and character); frameworks (deontological ethics, egoism, and virtue ethics, for example); those relating to assessment, judgment, and critique (fallacies, sex and gender); and the limits of moral reasoning (like pluralism, nihilism, and skepticism). It is meant to help readers engage with theories, concepts, principles, and critiques, rather than prescribe one single theory. They present the ideas and theories of different moral theorists as tools for thinking and action. The text may be used by students, teachers, scholars, and professionals linearly or as a reference, as each entry is cross-referenced. Baggini, an author and journalist, is editor and co-publisher of The Philosophers' Magazine. Fosl, contributing editor to The Philosophers' Magazine, is a professor of philosophy at Transylvania U. in Lexington. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
