Consolations
In Consolations David Whyte unpacks aspects of being human that many of us spend our lives trying vainly to avoid – loss, heartbreak, vulnerability, fear – boldly reinterpreting them, fully embracing their complexity, never shying away from paradox in his relentless search for meaning.
Beginning with ‘Alone’ and closing with ‘Withdrawal’, each piece in this life-affirming book is a meditation on meaning and context, an invitation to shift and broaden our perspectives on life: pain and joy, honesty and anger, confession and vulnerability, the experience of feeling overwhelmed and the desire to run away from it all. Through this lens, procrastination may be a necessary ripening; hiding an act of freedom; and shyness something that accompanies the first stage of revelation.
Consolations invites readers into a poetic and thoughtful consideration of words whose meaning and interpretation influence the paths we choose and the way we traverse them throughout our lives.

Свобода воли. Иллюзия или возможность
Многие открытия в нейронауке и социальной психологии ставят под сомнение наличие свободы воли. Они показывают, что поступки людей определяются социальным контекстом и бессознательными состояниями мозга. Но не следует ли из этого, что человек не может принимать решения сам? А если так, если свобода воли – иллюзия, возможно ли считать других людей ответственными за поведение? В книге автор защищает современную компатибилистскую теорию – позицию, согласно которой свобода и ответственность совместимы с современными научными представлениями об устройстве мира. Кроме того, в ней предложены решения и других философских головоломок, связанных со свободой: проблемы тождества личности и ментальной каузальности. Эта книга – результат многолетних исследований автора. Дмитрий Борисович Волков – доктор философских наук, содиректор Московского центра исследования сознания при философском факультете МГУ, автор книги «Бостонский зомби: Д. Деннет и его теория сознания» (2012).
Теория потенциальности как теория всего
«Настоящее философское сочинение является основным философским сочинением, созданным в рамках философии теомизма, производной от философии гносеологического нейтрализма (гипотетизма)…»
Splinters in Your Eye
Although successive generations of the Frankfurt School have attempted to adapt Critical Theory to new circumstances, the work done by its founding members continues in the twenty-first century to unsettle conventional wisdom about culture, society and politics. Exploring unexamined episodes in the school’s history and reading its work in unexpected ways, these essays provide ample evidence of the abiding relevance of Horkheimer, Adorno, Benjamin, Marcuse, Löwenthal, and Kracauer in our troubled times. Without forcing a unified argument, they range over a wide variety of topics, from the uncertain founding of the School to its mixed reception of psychoanalysis, from Benjamin’s ruminations on stamp collecting to the ironies in the reception of Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man, from Löwenthal’s role in Weimar’s Jewish Renaissance to Horkheimer’s involvement in the writing of the first history of the Frankfurt School. Of special note are their responses to visual issues such as the emancipation of colour in modern art, the Jewish prohibition on images, the relationship between cinema and the public sphere, and the implications of a celebrated Family of Man photographic exhibition. The collection ends with an essay tracing the still metastasising demonisation of the Frankfurt School by the so-called Alt Right as the source of “cultural Marxism” and “political correctness,” which has gained alarming international resonance and led to violence by radical right-wing fanatics.
