    by Markus Gabriel ...
    Translated by Gregory Moss ...
    Where do we come from? Are we merely a cluster of elementary particles in a gigantic world receptacle?

  • The Human Animal

    Why We Still Don't Fit into Nature

    by Markus Gabriel ...
    Translated by Karl von der Luft ...
    The climate crisis has forced us to recognize that we are not separate from nature but are part of the natural world on which we depend: human beings are animals and we must understand much better our place in nature and our impact on our environment if we are to avoid our own annihilation as a species. And yet we feel nevertheless that we do not entirely fit into nature, that we stand apart from ... Read more

    How Ethical Capitalism Can Save Liberal Democracy

    by Markus Gabriel ...

  • Neo-Existentialism

    by Markus Gabriel ...
    In this highly original book, Markus Gabriel offers an account of the human self that overcomes the deadlocks inherent in the standard positions of contemporary philosophy of mind.

  • I am Not a Brain

    Philosophy of Mind for the 21st Century

    by Markus Gabriel ...
    Translated by Christopher Turner ...
    Many consider the nature of human consciousness to be one of the last great unsolved mysteries. Why should the light turn on, so to speak, in human beings at all? And how is the electrical storm of neurons under our skull connected with our consciousness? Is the self only our brain’s user interface, a kind of stage on which a show is performed that we cannot freely direct?In this book, philosopher ... Read more

    by Markus Gabriel ...
    Translated by Wieland Hoban ...
    From ancient philosophy to contemporary theories of fiction, it is a common practice to relegate illusory appearances to the realm of the non-existent, like shadows on the wall of Plato’s cave. Contrary to this traditional mode of drawing a metaphysical distinction between reality and fiction, Markus Gabriel argues that the realm of the illusory, fictional, imaginary and conceptually indeterminate ...

    The challenges we face today are unprecedented, from the existential crisis of climate change to the global security threats posed by aggression in Ukraine and elsewhere.
