  • 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. His view, Neo-Existentialism, is thoroughly anti-naturalist in that it repudiates any theory according to which the ensemble of our best natural-scientific knowledge is able to account fully for human mindedness. ...

  • 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

The promises of modernity, once rooted in the convergence of technoscientific progress and liberal capitalism, have failed to deliver widespread peace and ... Read more

  • 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

  • The Power of Art

    by Markus Gabriel ...
    We live in an era of aesthetics. Art has become both pervasive and powerful – it is displayed not only in museums and galleries but also on the walls of corporations and it is increasingly fused with design. But what makes art so powerful, and in what does its power consist?According to a widespread view, the power of art – its beauty – lies in the eye of the beholder. What counts as art appears ...

  • Fictions

    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 Limits of Epistemology

    by Markus Gabriel ...
    Translated by Alex Englander ...
    At the centre of modern epistemology lurks the problem of scepticism: how can we know that the forms of our cognition are compatible with the world? How can we state success conditions for knowledge claims without somehow transcending our discursive and fallible nature as knowers?By distinguishing different forms of scepticism, Markus Gabriel shows how all objective knowledge relies on shared ...
