German philosopher Ernst Alfred Cassirer [1874-1945]
Trained within the Neo-Kantian Marburg School, Cassirer initially followed his mentor Hermann Cohen in attempting to supply an idealistic philosophy of science; after Cohen's death, Cassirer developed a theory of symbolism and used it to expand phenomenology of knowledge into a more general philosophy of culture. Cassirer was one of the leading 20th-century advocates of philosophical idealism; his most famous work is the 3-volume "The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms" [1923–29].

Damasio Neuroscientist Damasio shows that the concept of the dualist separation of mind & body and of rationality & emotion proposed by René Descartes is invalid; modern science (led by Damasio) now holds that the body and our emotions both have a key role in the way we think and in rational decision-making.

"Descartes was correct in noticing that an individual's thinking creates the world that he/she lives in – up to a point. Where Descartes and
the anti-thinking Republican Party got it wrong, however, is that the power of any thinking derives entirely from the degree
to which that thinking is consistent with objective reality."

 | "The Burnout Society" [German 2010, English 2015] by Byung-Chul Han
Author interprets the spreading malaise - multitasking, 'user-friendly' technology, and the culture of convenience that produce disorders ranging from depression to attention deficit disorder to borderline personality disorder - as an inability to manage negative experiences in an age characterized by excessive positivity and the universal availability of people & goods 70-page Kindle Edition from Stanford Briefs [8/2015] for $7.39 68-page Stanford Univ Press 8x5 pb [8/2015] for $12.60 | |
 | "Capitalism and The Death Drive" [2021] by Byung-Chul Han, Translated by Daniel Steuer What we call growth is in fact a tumorous proliferation which is disrupting the social organism. At a certain point this growth is no longer productive, but rather destructive. Capitalism passed this point long ago and its destructive forces cause not only ecological and social catastrophes but also mental collapse. The destructive compulsion to produce combines self-affirmation and self-destruction in one. 144-page Kindle Edition from Polity Press [5/2021] for $14.00 180-page Polity Press 8¼x5½ pb [8/2021] for $16.95 180-page Polity Press 8½x5¾ hardcover [8/2021] for $51.37 | |
 | "The Philosophy of Zen Buddhism" [2022] by Byung-Chul Han, Translated by Daniel Steuer Author confronts and contrasts the insights of Zen Buddhism with the philosophies of Plato, Leibniz, Fichte, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and others, showing that Zen Buddhism and Western philosophy have very different ways of understanding religion, subjectivity, emptiness, friendliness, and death. 105-page Kindle Edition from Polity Press [8/2022] for $14.00 120-page Polity Press 8¼x5½ pb [11/2022] for $15.26 120-page Polity Press 8½x5½ hardcover [11/2022] for $51.46 | |
 | "The Crisis of Narration" [2024] by Byung-Chul Han, Translated by Daniel Steuer Narratives produce the ties that bind us. They create community, eliminate contingency, and anchor us in being. And yet in our contemporary information society, where everything has become arbitrary & random, storytelling becomes storyselling and narratives lose their binding force – storytelling as storyselling is a pathological phenomenon of our age. 77-page Kindle Edition from Polity Press [1/2024] for $14.00 100-page Polity Press 8¼x5¼ pb [4/2024] for $15.99 100-page Polity Press 8½x5¾ hardcover [4/2024] for $58.79 |

The "Rigveda" is probably the oldest of the Hindu scriptures; it describes and names the Hindu deities, and tells of their doings. The "Upanishads" contain speculations about the nature and place of the gods and the human soul in the universe. The "Bhagavad-Gita" consists of a conversation between the hero Arjuna and the god Krishna, in which Krishna explains that the soul is immortal.
