Synopsis Goodbye, Mr. Descartes by : Icarus Phaethon
For many years now, scientists, artists and philosophers have attempted to explain and find connections between the startling discoveries of quantum physics and our everyday lives. Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung coined a name for this 'everyday' effect - the psycho-physical problem. Join Icarus Phaethon on this journey across continents and time, until one day he crashes headfirst into what he thinks just may be the secret of the Universe. There's just one problem - he can't tell anybody.

Synopsis Goodbye Mr. Socialism by : Antonio Negri
Goodbye Mr. Socialism offers a gripping encounter with one of today’s leading leftists, presenting his most up-to-date analysis of global events and insight into the prospects for the Left in an age of neoliberalism. In his most accessible work yet, philosopher Antonio Negri discusses the state of the global Left since the end of the Cold War and suggests a new politics in a series of rousing conversations with Raf Valvola Scelsi. Scelsi prompts Negri to critique the episodes in the post–Cold War period that have afforded the Left opportunities to rethink its strategies and objectives. Addressing the twilight of social democracy, Negri offers a compelling defense of the prospects for social transformation.

Synopsis Descartes: A Biography by : Desmond M. Clarke
René Descartes is best remembered today for writing 'I think, therefore I am', but his main contribution to the history of ideas was his effort to construct a philosophy that would be sympathetic to the new sciences that emerged in the seventeenth century. To a great extent he was the midwife to the Scientific Revolution and a significant contributor to its key concepts. In four major publications, he fashioned a philosophical system that accommodated the needs of these new sciences and thereby earned the unrelenting hostility of both Catholic and Calvinist theologians, who relied on the scholastic philosophy that Descartes hoped to replace. His contemporaries claimed that his proofs of God's existence in the Meditations were so unsuccessful that he must have been a cryptic atheist and that his discussion of skepticism served merely to fan the flames of libertinism. This is the first biography in English that addresses the full range of Descartes' interest in theology, philosophy and the sciences and that traces his intellectual development through his entire career.

Synopsis Descartes' Mistress by : Advik Lahiri
This is a story so intricately woven in its discussion of the human condition, aspects of which pull at different heartstrings, the abject loneliness of the protagonist having possibly crept up, unbidden, at any point in the lives of others. His story is a catharsis that may inspire, even an unsure writer, to pen a thought or two down but also inspire a feeling of community, that in this world of ours, moving fast towards isolation, we are really not alone. Descartes' Mistress is a piece of experimental, philosophical fiction concerning philosophical implications of a premise we all know - what would happen if everybody disappeared? - in a new radical light.

Synopsis Mister Descartes and His Evil Genius by : Jean Paul Mongin
Can one trust his senses when perceiving the outside world? When my sensations are the basis of my perceiving my own existence, what if these sensations are to be doubted - what can the proof of my own existence be? These questions, both simple and profoundly undermining, stand at the beginning of Modernity: the philosophy of Rene Descartes. A true compilation of the text of Descartes' writings, combined with thrilling comic book illustrations that evoke Prince Valiant (and address smaller children as well), this book drags its readers - and musketeer-like Mister Descartes himself - into the adventure of thinking. It gives a lively and fascinating introduction into Cartesian thought: the conception of Cogito, doubt, and certainty of self of this Father of Modern Philosophy.
