Title: [German] - Politeia oder der Staat: Buch IV-VI Series: #16 of Platon - Sämtliche Dialoge Author: Platon Narrator: Volker Braumann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 26 minutes Release date: March 1, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Die Politeia besteht insgesamt aus 10 Büchern. Dieses Hörbuch umfasst als zweiter Teil der Politeia-Hörbuchtrilogie die komplette Lesung der Bücher IV,V und VI, in denen Platon unter anderem die Rolle der Frau und der Familie in dem idealen Staat, das Wesen des Philosophen und die Notwendigkeit der Philosophenherrschaft diskutiert. Zusätzlich dazu findet sich als Begleitmaterial ein Aufsatz des renommierten Gräzisten und Platon-Forschers Paul Friedländer über den Kernsatz der Politeia. Zum Buch: Die Politeia gilt zu Recht als das Hauptwerk Platons, bringt er doch darin die verschiedenen Themen und Ergebnisse seines bisherigen Philosophierens nun zu einer großen Einheit. Dabei fasst Platon nicht weniger als den Entwurf eines idealen Staates ins Auge. Die den gesamten Dialog in Bewegung haltende Frage lautet dabei: Was ist Gerechtigkeit? Während die sophistische These behauptet, dass das Gerechte das dem Stärkeren Nützliche sei, setzt Platon dem die Idee eines sittlichen Staates als einheitliches Ganzes entgegen, in dem die Herrschaft von der vernunftsgeleiteten Erkenntnis ausgeht und diese denn auch den Zusammenhalt des Staates garantiert. In keinem anderen seiner Werke entfaltet Platon so umfangreich die Grundzüge seiner Ideen- und Erkenntnislehre und deren metaphysische Voraussetzung: Der Idee des Guten; und so bietet sich die 'Politeia' als hervorragender Einstieg in die Philosophie Platons an. Dieses Hörbuch ist der 16. Teil der Hörbuchreihe 'Platon - Sämtliche Dialoge', komplett eingelesen von dem Hörbuchsprecher Volker Braumann in der Übersetzung von Otto Apelt.

Title: [German] - Träume eines Geistersehers: erläutert durch Träume der Metaphysik Author: Immanuel Kant Narrator: Volker Braumann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 29 minutes Release date: March 2, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Immanuel Kants Schrift 'Träume eines Geistersehers erläutert durch Träume der Metaphysik', erstmals erschienen 1766 in Königsberg, nimmt in der Herausbildung der kritischen Denkungsart des großen Philosophen einen wichtigen Platz ein. Denn Kant setzt sich in ihr zum einen mit der Geisterseherei Emanuel Swedenborgs wie auch mit den teils Luftschlössern gleichenden Denkgebäuden der damaligen Metaphysik auseinander, die er als 'durch das blinde Vertrauen in die Scheingründe der Vernunft erzeugte Illusionen' entlarvt. Man bedenke: Bis zur Veröffentlichung der ersten Auflage der bahnbrechenden 'Kritik der reinen Vernunft' im Jahre 1781 sind es noch 15 Jahre, doch schon hier, in dieser kleinen, von subtilem satirischen Humor durchzogenen Schrift kündigen sich bereits einige der wichtigsten Einsichten und metaphysischen Grenzziehungen der kritischen Periode Kants an... Um ein genaueres Bild davon zu bekommen, auf wen und was sich Immanuel Kant in seiner Schrift bezieht, sind den einzelnen Hauptstücken des Textes kurze Auszüge aus Emanuel Swedenborgs Werk 'Himmel Hölle Geisterwelt' vorangestellt. Auf diese Weise wird der Kontrast zwischen der mühsamen Wahrheitssuche eines Erkenntnistheoretikers und den geoffenbarten Visionen eines Geistersehers aufs Grellste sichtbar. Der Sprecher Volker Braumann liest vornehmlich Werke aus Philosophie und Wissenschaft ein. Sein Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Werk Platons, Arthur Schopenhauers und Sigmund Freuds. Unter anderem als Hörbuch erschienen sind bisher: Platon - Sämtliche Dialoge Teil 1 Apologie/ Kriton/ Phaidon Platon - Sämtliche Dialoge Teil 15 Politeia (Der Staat) Buch I-III Arthur Schopenhauer - Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung Band 1 Buch I-IV Sigmund Freud - Die Traumdeutung (komplette Lesung) Immanuel Kant Sat, 02 Mar 2024 01:27:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/760895 thebookvoice.com 3:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/760895]]> to listen full audiobooks.

É que andam mentindo muito por aí. Filosofar está mais ligado ao despertar do sonambulismo. Essa é minha proposta nesta conversa com você.' 'Quem tem medo de sofrer é incapaz de desejar.' 'A obsessão pela felicidade faz de você um chato. Como escapar dessa armadilha? Escolher o fracasso? Não precisa, ele te achará. Viver sem fórmulas é o desafio.' 'Uma certa dose de banalidade na vida é indício de alguma saúde mental, só gente doente e chata quer ser absolutamente relevante em tudo que faz.' 'O cotidiano nem sempre é tomado apenas por questões profundas. E nem só delas vive o homem, mas também de banalidades. Muitas vezes, ele é tomado por questões 'menores', e é a elas que nos dedicaremos aqui. O cotidiano tenderá a ser mais pobre no futuro. Mais entediante e previsível.

Title: The Performer: Art, Life, Politics Author: Richard Sennett Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 59 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: An acclaimed sociologist's exploration of the connections among performances in life, art, and politics In The Performer, Richard Sennett explores the relations between performing in art (particularly music), politics, and everyday experience. It focuses on the bodily and physical dimensions of performing, rather than on words. Sennett is particularly attuned to the ways in which the rituals of ordinary life are performances. The book draws on history and sociology, and more personally on the author’s early career as a professional cellist, as well as on his later work as a city planner and social thinker. It traces the evolution of performing spaces in the city; the emergence of actors, musicians, and dancers as independent artists; the inequality between performer and spectator; the uneasy relations between artistic creation and social and religious ritual; the uses and abuses of acting by politicians. The Janus-faced art of performing is both destructive and civilizing.

Title: The Gospel Crux Author: J K Vaidyan Narrator: Jonathan Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 23 minutes Release date: February 23, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Gospel Crux is a fresh look at the teachings of Jesus in the context of their Hebrew origins. The current versions are not working. If they were, the world around us would not keep going to pieces every now and then. Lost in translation, disoriented through cultural appropriation and transmitted across millennia, the versions handed down to us are both enhanced and redacted, far removed from its original context and blurred by the passage of time. Hebrew is a language rich in metaphors and literary devices like synonymous parallelism and hyperbole that emphasize and reinforce key messages. It does not easily lend itself to translation into Greek, Latin or English. The Gospel Crux re-interprets Hebrew words and metaphors used by Jesus to explore what his teachings would have meant to those hearing him firsthand. Words and phrases like Gospel, Heaven, Hell, Love, Soul, Holy Spirit and Eternal Life take on new meanings when viewed from this frame of reference. A key example is the command to love your neighbor as yourself. When asked “who is my neighbor”, Jesus relates the parable of the Good Samaritan. All the characters are strangers to each other. Love does not show up in this parable. Acts of service and of going the extra mile for a stranger are our takeaways. Jesus tops it up with the instruction to go and do likewise. This brings us to the concept of self. “Deny yourself. Take up your cross and follow me.” This is our understanding of what Jesus had said. “Deny yourself” is not two words. “Deny your Self” has three words. And the cross is the execution stake of self-negation. When all of this is read and understood together it reveals a well-kept secret of Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu and Lao Tzu’s philosophies. That our “I” is a story we tell ourselves. Through this alternate rendering of the words of Jesus, The Gospel Crux explores how we can find the peace of God that surpasses all understanding in our lives; the truth that will set your “I” free.

Title: Awakened Imagination - - SPECIAL EDITION - Self Hypnosis Guided Prayer Meditation Visualization Author: Neville Goddard Narrator: Deborah Schmidt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 20 minutes Release date: February 23, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Explore the timeless wisdom of Neville Goddard (1905-1972), an esteemed spiritual teacher and proponent of the 'mental law of assumption,' in his groundbreaking work, 'Awakened Imagination.' This seminal book delves into the profound concepts of manifesting desires through the transformative power of imagination and assumption. This book raises the concept of the Law Of Attraction to the next level. Goddard suggests that our imagination shapes reality. By assuming and imagining certain things to be true, we can bring them into existence. He proposes that we have the power to create our lives and realities through the faculty of imagination. In 'Awakened Imagination,' Goddard presents key principles that unlock the potential of our imagination. Living in the end, a concept central to his teachings involves imagining as if your desire is already fulfilled. Ignoring physical reality and persisting in your imaginal scene are essential steps in this process.

Title: Awakened Imagination - - SPECIAL EDITION - Self Hypnosis Guided Prayer Meditation Visualization Author: Neville Goddard Narrator: Deborah Schmidt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 20 minutes Release date: February 23, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Explore the timeless wisdom of Neville Goddard (1905-1972), an esteemed spiritual teacher and proponent of the 'mental law of assumption,' in his groundbreaking work, 'Awakened Imagination.' This seminal book delves into the profound concepts of manifesting desires through the transformative power of imagination and assumption. This book raises the concept of the Law Of Attraction to the next level. Goddard suggests that our imagination shapes reality. By assuming and imagining certain things to be true, we can bring them into existence. He proposes that we have the power to create our lives and realities through the faculty of imagination. In 'Awakened Imagination,' Goddard presents key principles that unlock the potential of our imagination. Living in the end, a concept central to his teachings involves imagining as if your desire is already fulfilled. Ignoring physical reality and persisting in your imaginal scene are essential steps in this process.

Title: [French] - Philosophie pour débutants Comment comprendre les bases de la philosophie et les appliquer avec succès dans votre vie quotidienne grâce à des exercices pratiques. Author: Jakob Schröter Narrator: Thibaud Auer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 38 minutes Release date: February 26, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: La philosophie est un terme fascinant, beau, romantique et harmonieux, mais aussi une activité intellectuelle intense. En réalité, la philosophie n'est ni très romantique ni très fatigante. Il est vrai qu'il faut utiliser son cerveau et que certaines choses dépassent le bon sens, mais au fond, la philosophie consiste simplement à s'intéresser à l'homme et au monde. L'image que l'on a des philosophes grecs de l'Antiquité flânant sous le soleil d'Athènes avec leurs longues robes tout en échangeant leurs idées peut sembler romantique, mais il s'agissait souvent de sujets sérieux et beaucoup d'entre eux ne se sont pas fait que des amis avec leurs idées parfois révolutionnaires. Dans ce guide, j'aimerais vous donner un premier aperçu de ce vaste sujet qu'est la philosophie, mais aussi vous le présenter de manière pratique. Après vous avoir expliqué ce qu'est exactement la philosophie et de quoi elle s'occupe concrètement, je vous présenterai non seulement quelques courants philosophiques importants et la sagesse des philosophes, mais je vous donnerai également quelques exercices et conseils pour que vous puissiez intégrer facilement la philosophie dans votre vie.

Title: Technology is Not the Problem Author: Timandra Harkness Narrator: Timandra Harkness Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 1 minute Release date: May 23, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: We already know how much of our data is collected and used to profile and target us. The real question is why, knowing all this, do we keep going back for more? “Great book” – Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works “Essential reading” – Pete Etchells, author of Unlocked “An urgent must-read” – Tiffany Jenkins, author and broadcaster, presenter of BBC Radio 4’s A History of Secrecy Technology has delivered a world that we expect to revolve around us, our needs and preferences, and our unique personalities. We willingly hand over intimate information about ourselves in return for a world that’s easier to navigate. We live in the Personalised Century, where we view ourselves in terms of what rather than who we are – the objects of others’ recognition, rather than the subjects and authors of our own lives. Is this a sign of our shrinking sense of self? Interrogating the historical currents that have brought us here, Harkness envisages a messier, riskier and less comfortable world than the one into which we’re sliding. Challenging readers to look at what’s missing from their personalised menus, Technology is not the Problem encourages us to look afresh at the familiar: not just the technology we use every day, how we relate to the world and those around us.

Title: [Polish] - Jaki jest Twój Sens Zycia? Zamien Problemy na Wyzwania a Marzenia na Cele i nigdy nie zostawaj w miejscu, gdzie nikt nie widzi twojej wartosci Author: Dr Renata Zarzycka Narrator: Dr Renata Zarzycka Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 13 minutes Release date: October 12, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Czym jest sens zycia? To jedno z najbardziej fundamentalnych pytan. Czasami wydawac sie moze, ze zycie nie ma sensu, ale czy tak jest faktycznie? Moze niekiedy z jakiegos powodu, czlowiek tak sie zagubi w swoim zyciu, ze straci z oczu jego sens. Czesto wina moze byc srodowisko, wychowanie lub wyniesione z domu rodzinnego przekonania, zachowanie i kultura. Aby zaczac zyc zgodnie ze swoimi marzenia, niekiedy najwieksza przeszkoda w tym wzgledzie moze stac sie strach przed tym, co powiedza ludzie. Strach ten wpedza czlowieka w pulapke braku poczucia sensu zycia. Ma on poczucie wiezienia, blokujacego go przed spelnianiem sie, radoscia, szczesciem, sukcesem i dobrostanem. Czlowiek czuje sie zagubiony, czuje, ze zanurza sie w bezsensie egzystencji i nie potrafi sobie z tym poradzic. Tkwi wtedy w swoistym stanie zawieszenia, czekajac na cud. A cud nie przyjdzie do czasu, kiedy czlowiek sam nie zadecyduje o zmianach i nie da sobie na nie pozwolenia. Albowiem nie ma zadnego uzasadnienia dalszego pozostawania w blokujacym czlowieka srodowisku, w którym nikt nie widzi jego wartosci. Co jest sensem zycia? Sensem zycia jest MISJA czlowieka - powolanie - to cel ludzkiej egzystencji. Sens zycia to uzasadnione dzialanie, które czyni je wartym przezycia. Jak odnalezc sens zycia? Jaki jest Twój sens zycia? Jak poradzic sobie z przytlaczajacym uczuciem braku sensu zycia? Te pytanie o sens zycia sa jednymi z podstawowych zagadnien róznych systemów filozoficznych i religijnych, a odpowiedzi na nie, zawieraja najwieksza madrosc ludzkosci. Mindfulness - trening uwaznosci, to seria wykladów nagranych w 2020 roku. Celem jest niesienie pomocy osobom cierpiacym, nie zawsze dobrze zrozumianym przez lekarza, z uwagi na brak widocznych odchylen w klasycznych badaniach. Ludzie ci w wyniku ich 'narzekania' i traumy, czesto odsylani sa do psychiatry po leki uspakajajace. Jednak to nie uzdrawia ich w pelni. Cierpiac na zaburzenia psychosomatyczne potrzebuja terapii duszy.

Title: [Polish] - C'EST LA VIE! Zyciowa ukladanka. Wszystko, co sie dzieje jest po cos. To, co sie wydarza ma gleboki sens Author: Dr Renata Zarzycka Narrator: Dr Renata Zarzycka Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 47 minutes Release date: October 12, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: SELAVIE! Takie jest zycie! Ale jakie? Nasz los jest dokladnie taki, jaki zostanie stworzony w glowie czlowieka poprzez jego wyobrazenia. W efekcie wszelkich wydarzen, to wlasnie nasze mysli kreuja rzeczywistosc. Mamy wiele mozliwosci, jak zareagowac na wszystko, co przychodzi do nas ze swiata zewnetrznego. Nasze zachowania w efekcie maja wplyw na dalsze konsekwencje dokonanych wyborów. Nasz umysl wpisuje w DNA komórek zapisy albo traumy i negatywnych emocji zwiazanych z nieszczesciami, strata majatku, biznesu, pracy czy pieniedzy, albo zapisuje pozytywne emocje sukcesu, radosci, szczescia i milosci. Tylko czy aby zaznac spokoju, radosci i opanowania siebie, musimy zawsze odnosic jakies sukcesy? Dla kazdego sukces moze miec zupelnie inne znaczenie i nie musi byc powiazany z ciezka praca zarobkowa. Jednak wymaga on od nas pewnego rodzaju wkladu naszej energii w przeprogramowanie swoich mysli a zarazem przekonan i reakcji emocjonalnych. Swiadomosc tego, ze tylko dzieki drobnej zmianie wewnatrz siebie, mozna uzdrowic wszystko, co na zewnatrz, daje czlowiekowi ogromna moc sprawcza i motywacje do dzialania. Trzeba tylko nauczyc sie patrzec z róznej perspektywy na wszystko, co na zewnatrz i sluchac w „stereo”, czyli miedzy wierszami tego, co inni ludzie do nas mówia. Reszta to polaczenie sie ze swoja wewnetrzna sila: intuicja i miloscia, to powrót do siebie i do swojego serca, zadbanie o siebie, ochrona siebie i ukochanie siebie. Poukladaj mysli w swojej glowie. Od tego zaczyna sie wszystko, co najlepsze w naszym zyciu. Mindfulness, czyli trening uwaznosci, to seria wykladów nagranych lives na zywo w 2020 roku. Celem serii, jest niesienie pomocy osobom cierpiacym, nie zawsze dobrze zrozumianym przez lekarza, z uwagi na brak widocznych odchylen w klasycznych badaniach. Ludzie ci w wyniku ich 'narzekania' i traumy, czesto odsylani sa do psychiatry po leki uspakajajace. Jednak to nie uzdrawia ich w pelni. Cierpiac na zaburzenia psychosomatyczne potrzebuja terapii duszy.

Title: [Polish] - Wdziecznosc - Samoakceptacja. Pokaz zyciu, ze zaslugujesz na wszystko co najlepsze! Author: Dr Renata Zarzycka Narrator: Dr Renata Zarzycka Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 49 minutes Release date: October 12, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Wdziecznosc to stan umyslu czlowieka o wysokim poziomie swiadomego JA. Wdziecznosc to umiejetnosc patrzenia na zycie i na to co nas spotyka z wielu perspektyw, to docenianie kazdego doswiadczenia, nawet tego bolesnego i przykrego. Ten stan otwarcia przestrzeni czakry serca, zwany tez Koherencja Serca pozwala na otwarcie „furtki do nieba”, a dokladnie do kontaktu z wlasna dusza i czerpania obfitosci inspiracji z zasobów wszechswiata. Taki stan to czwarty, piaty i kolejne dwa poziomy SWIADOMEGO JA, jako zrozumienie calej natury ludzkiej, wlaczajac jej wyzsze aspekty - sfere duchowa, do dyscypliny naukowej. czlowiek swiadomy potrafi zarzadzac swoimi emocjami, uczuciami i myslami, aby w trudnej sytuacji poradzic sobie. Z powyzszego wynika, ze czlowiek ma wiele mozliwosci i ostatecznie sam podejmuje decyzje, w jaki sposób bedzie zyl. Czy przezyje zycie w nieswiadomosci tak, jakby nic nie bylo cudem, czy tez nauczy sie patrzac oczami wdziecznosci tak, jakby cudem bylo wszystko. Bedac swiatlem” dla innych, bedzie zyl dlugo i szczesliwe w poczuciu zaopiekowania sie soba, wlasnego bezpieczenstwa i milosci, plynacych wprost z jego wnetrza na zewnatrz. Bedzie tez wdzieczny za kazda chwile i to co ma tu i teraz. Samotnie kroczac wsród tlumów, ma swiadomosc, iz przychodzi na swiat sam, pozwala sobie na wiele sam, zasluguje na wszystko co najlepsze, podejmuje decyzje i umiera sam. Samodzielnosc w swojej samotnosci to nie osamotnienie - to jest najwiekszy poziom swiadomego JA, SILA i niezwykla MOC, poczucia wlasnej wartosci czlowieka, nadajaca jego zyciu MAGII PIEKNA i MAGNETYZMU OSOBISTEGO. Pozytywne myslenia i patrzenie oczami wdziecznosci na swoje zycie, uruchamia rezonowanie w tej czestotliwosci. Energetyczna moc przyciagania sprawia, iz zapraszamy do swojego zycia coraz wiecej tego z jaka czestotliwosc wibruja nasze mysli, jakimi emocjami emanujemy i w efekcie z jaka energia rezonujemy.

Title: The Postmodern Predicament: Existential Challenges of the Twenty-First Century Author: Bruce Ackerman Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 19 minutes Release date: April 16, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Human beings have taken one thing for granted since our earliest days: we are bodily creatures dealing with one another on a face-to-face basis. The internet has shattered this fundamental feature of human existence. We are suddenly living our lives in two worlds at once—shifting endlessly from virtual to physical reality as we reach out to others. Worse yet, we are developing different personal identities in our two worlds. We say and do things in virtual reality that flatly contradict our face-to-face commitments to family, friends, and fellow-workers—and vice versa. The Postmodern Predicament explores these dilemmas at each phase of the life cycle, beginning at the moment a young child picks up a cell phone. The existentialist tradition of the twentieth century provides a precious perspective on our postmodern dilemmas. Thinkers and doers like Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre considered the fragmentation of modern life as a central source of contemporary anxieties. Like them, Ackerman views the challenges of the internet age as a political, no less than personal, problem—and proposes concrete reforms that that could mobilize broad-based support for democracy against demagogic assaults on its very foundations.

Title: Bullsh*t Comparisons: A field guide to thinking critically in a world of difference Author: Andrew Brooks Narrator: Andrew Brooks Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 28, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Life is complicated, comparisons are easy. We consume enormous quantities of information every day from sources that are reliable, and those less trustworthy, including journalists, politicians, friends and social media. One of the most commons tools we use to communicate is comparison. Are we suffering a 'hurricane' of migrants? Do dogs look like their owners? Is Oxford better than Harvard? Metaphors, models and metrics are used to compare anything from schools, to wars, to iconic people. But how helpful are they? What truths do they hide and what bullsh*t do comparisons propagate? Looking across a fascinating range of situations both familiar and unfamiliar, serious and light-hearted, Bullsh*t Comparisons is a ground-breaking guide to the role of could-be-true but misleading comparisons. It is illuminated by examples spanning the globe from university league tables, to childhood rivalries, politicians' tawdry analogies, the FIFA World Footballer of the year award and Chinese neo-colonialism in Africa. Ideal for anyone interested in critical thinking or who simply wants to be able to spot bullsh*t at twenty paces, this thought-provoking, intelligent and often amusing book will challenge you to think critically about the use of comparison.

Title: Opening to Oneness: A Practical and Philosophical Guide to the Zen Precepts Author: Nancy Mujo Baker Narrator: Kathleen Li Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 18 minutes Release date: May 21, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In Opening to Oneness, Zen teacher Nancy Baker offers a detailed path of practice for Zen students planning to take the precepts and for anyone, Buddhist or non-Buddhist, interested in deepening their personal study of ethical living. She reveals that there are three levels of each precept: a literal level (don't kill, not even a bug), a relative level that takes moral ambiguity into account (what if it's a malaria-spreading mosquito?), and an ultimate level—the paradoxical level of nonduality, in which the precepts are naturally expressed from a state of oneness. Full of nuance, intelligence, and compassion, the first half of the book addresses the ten grave precepts mostly from the relative level, including instructions for how to practice these precepts individually and in pairs or groups. The second half of the book takes a deep dive into looking at the precepts from the ultimate perspective, largely through an exploration of the writings of Dogen, the thirteenth-century religious genius who founded the Soto Zen school. At once comprehensive and innovative, Opening to Oneness will take its place alongside classics like The Mind of Clover, The Heart of Being, and Being Upright as a cherished guide to Zen Buddhist ethics.

Title: [German] - Heimat - und wie wir sie finden - phil.COLOGNE live (ungekürzt) Author: Wilhelm Schmid, Asal Dardan Narrator: Asal Dardan, Barbara Bleisch, Wilhelm Schmid Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 25 minutes Release date: March 15, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Was ist Heimat? Wer bestimmt, was Heimat ist, und wo kann Heimat überhaupt möglich sein? Diesen Fragen nähern sich Asal Dardan und Wilhelm Schmid auf ganz unterschiedliche Art und Weise. In 'Betrachtungen einer Barbarin' begibt sich Asal Dardan auf die Suche nach einer Überbrückung des ewigen Gegensatzes von 'wir' und den 'anderen'. 'Sprachlich brillant und stilistisch elegant' (SZ) schlägt die Autorin Bögen von der ganz persönlichen Erfahrung zum gesellschaftlichpolitisch Brisanten und zeigt auf, dass Zusammenleben bedeutet, Differenz anzunehmen. Der Philosoph Wilhelm Schmid, der sich einer Philosophie der Lebenskunst widmet, untersucht in 'Heimat finden - Vom Leben in einer ungewissen Welt' die Vielfalt des Begriffs 'Heimat' und fordert eine Erweiterung des Begriffs: Heimat ist mehr als nur ein Ort, und es gibt zahlreiche Möglichkeiten, Heimat zu finden.

Doch wie groß ist die Chance, beim Online-Dating den Partner oder die Partnerin fürs Leben zu treffen? Was genau zeichnen die smarten Geräte bei uns zu Hause auf? Gehört dem autonomen Fahren die Zukunft? Überhaupt: Wo sind Algorithmen besser als der Mensch, wo aber nicht? Der international renommierte und vielfach ausgezeichnete Psychologe und Risikoforscher Gerd Gigerenzer beschreibt in 'Klick. Wie wir in einer digitalen Welt die Kontrolle behalten und die richtigen Entscheidungen treffen' anhand vieler konkreter Beispiele, wie wir lernen können, auch im digitalen Zeitalter digital mündig zu bleiben. Er zeigt uns, wie wir Chancen und Risiken von Algorithmen und Künstlicher Intelligenz für unser Leben richtig einschätzen und uns vor den Verlockungen sozialer Medien schützen können, kurz: wie wir digitale Intelligenz erwerben.

Title: [German] - Zeitenwende - phil.COLOGNE live (ungekürzt) Author: Harald Welzer, Michel Friedman Narrator: Michel Friedman, Harald Welzer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 24 minutes Release date: March 15, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Die Corona-Krise hat nicht nur virologische Fragen aufgeworfen, sondern auch soziale, politische und kulturelle. In ihrem gemeinsamen Buch 'Zeitenwende. Der Angriff auf Demokratie und Menschenwürde' untersuchen Michel Friedman und Harald Welzer, ob wir einen Epochenbruch erleben, und skizzieren, wie unsere Gesellschaft modernisiert werden könnte. Die demokratischen Gesellschaften stehen unter Druck durch die machtvolle Rückkehr der Autokraten, durch die Wiederkehr der Rechtsextremen, Nationalisten, Rassisten und Antisemiten. Dazu kommen soziale Ungleichheit, Klimawandel und Pandemie. Die Welt ist erheblich in Unordnung geraten, der Politik fehlt es an Konzepten und Lösungen. Zwei der streitbarsten und profiliertesten Intellektuellen des Landes suchen nach politischen Strategien und schauen auch in ihre eigenen Biografien, um den Widersprüchen einer schwierigen Zeit nachzuspüren.

Title: [German] - Warum wir weniger vom Mehr brauchen - phil.COLOGNE live (ungekürzt) Author: Tobias Esch Narrator: Tobais Esch, Gert Scobel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 28 minutes Release date: March 15, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Unsere Gesellschaft steckt in einer Krise des Überangebots und der permanenten Beschleunigung. Für den Neurowissenschaftler, Mediziner und Glücksforscher Tobias Esch ist es an der Zeit, das Streben nach Mehr grundsätzlich infrage zu stellen: Wir müssen uns von der sich unablässig steigernden Dichte, von haltlosem Konsum und (Selbst-)Ausbeutung verabschieden und zurückfinden zu der Beschränkung auf das Minimale und zu einer befreienden 'Leere'. 'Mehr Nichts! Warum wir weniger vom Mehr brauchen' - nach diesem Leitmotiv sollten wir unsere Leben ausrichten. Gesundheit und Medizin, Glaube und Achtsamkeit, Politik, Klima, Ökologie und Wirtschaftsstrukturen: Nur wenn wir uns in sämtlichen Belangen - und nicht nur mit Blick auf individuelle Selfcare- Maßnahmen - wieder auf die Essenz konzentrieren, können wir den Weg zurück zu sinnhaftem Lebensglück und Nachhaltigkeit finden.

Title: [German] - Die Sache mit der Identität - phil.COLOGNE live (ungekürzt) Author: Bernd Stegemann, Mithu Sanyal Narrator: Svenja Flaßpöhler, Mithu Sanyal, Bernd Stegemann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 21 minutes Release date: March 15, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Immer mehr Gruppen erheben Ansprüche an die Mehrheitsgesellschaft, sagen, wie sie bezeichnet werden möchten, 'LSBTIQ*' zum Beispiel oder 'Person of Color'. Sie benennen ihre Grenzen des Zumutbaren, weisen auf rechtliche und gesellschaftliche Missstände hin. Doch was für die einen dringend notwendige emanzipatorisch-politische Akte sind, erleben andere als Überempfindlichkeit und Bedrohung der Demokratie. In seinem neuen Buch 'Die Öffentlichkeit und ihre Feinde' setzt sich Bernd Stegemann ernsthaft und kritisch mit der Identitätspolitik auseinander. Die Kulturwissenschaftlerin Mithu Sanyal hingegen erprobt in ihrem Roman 'Identitti' einen gewitzten, selbstironischen Zugang. Was genau ist Identität - und welche Bedeutung sollte sie haben?

Title: [German] - Über Rassismus - phil.COLOGNE live (ungekürzt) Author: Aladin El-Mafaalani Narrator: Svenja Flaßpöhler, Aladin El-Mafaalani Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 33 minutes Release date: March 15, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Der Tod von George Floyd in den USA hat auch hierzulande eine neue, hitzige Debatte über Rassismus entfacht. Wie rassistisch sind deutsche Institutionen wie etwa die Polizei? Was genau ist struktureller Rassismus? Und wo beginnt rassistische Diskriminierung? Bei gezielten verbalen Attacken oder bereits bei unbewusst verwendeten Stereotypen? Ist der Gebrauch des N-Wortes immer und überall falsch oder nur in bestimmten Kontexten? Und wer sollte zu der Frage, was rassistisch ist und was nicht, überhaupt etwas sagen - ausschließlich Betroffene oder auch Angehörige der deutschen Mehrheitsgesellschaft? Nach seinem wirkmächtigen Buch 'Das Integrationsparadox' legt der Soziologe Aladin El-Mafaalani nun sein neues Werk 'Wozu Rassismus? Von der Erfindung der Menschenrassen bis zum rassismuskritischen Widerstand' vor. Mod.: Svenja Flaßpöhler. Ein Gespräch im Rahmen der phil.COLOGNE 2021.

Title: [German] - Was macht uns resilient? - phil.COLOGNE live (ungekürzt) Author: Andreas Reckwitz Narrator: Andreas Reckwitz, Svenja Flaßpöhler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 21 minutes Release date: March 15, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Das Wort 'Resilienz' kommt vom lateinischen 'resilire' und meint 'zurückspringen', 'abprallen'. Wer resilient ist, ist widerständig, geht an Krisen nicht zugrunde, sondern im besten Fall sogar, wie Friedrich Nietzsche meinte, gestärkt aus ihnen hervor. In Krisenzeiten ist Resilienz auch auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene gefragt. Wie müssen Systeme beschaffen sein, um Resilienz auszubilden? Geschlossen oder offen? Und in welchem Verhältnis steht die Resilienz zur Sensibilität? Gilt es, mehr individuelle Widerstandskraft gegen Verletzungen oder mehr Empfindsamkeit für die Grenzen des anderen zu fordern? Andreas Reckwitz zählt zu den führenden Soziologen des Landes, im Oktober erscheint 'Spätmoderne in der Krise' (gemeinsam mit Hartmut Rosa). Er spricht mit der Philosophin Svenja Flaßpöhler, deren Buch 'Sensibel: Über moderne Empfindlichkeit und die Grenzen des Zumutbaren' ebenfalls im Herbst erscheint.

Andreas Reckwitz zählt zu den führenden Soziologen des Landes, im Oktober erscheint 'Spätmoderne in der Krise' (gemeinsam mit Hartmut Rosa). Er spricht mit der Philosophin Svenja Flaßpöhler, deren Buch 'Sensibel: Über moderne Empfindlichkeit und die Grenzen des Zumutbaren' ebenfalls im Herbst erscheint.

Sind Transistoren, Dioden und Laser mittlerweile nicht mehr wegzudenken, leben wir heute auch schon mit spektakulären Quantentechnologien der nächsten Generation. Was Einstein 1935 als spukhafter Effekt vorkam, ist längst Grundlage umwälzender Quantenkommunikation in Glasfasernetzen und Satellitentechnik, die ein Quanteninternet ankündigt. Quantencomputer sind nur die Spitze des Eisbergs einer Technologie, die sich schrittweise ausbreitet und die zunehmend mit Künstlicher Intelligenz zusammenwachsen wird. Der Experte und Spezialist auf diesem Gebiet und dem der Künstlichen Intelligenz, Klaus Mainzer, erläutert, auf welchen Grundlagen diese revolutionäre Technologie beruht, welche Anwendungsbereiche es schon gibt und welches Potenzial, aber auch, welche Gefahren in Zukunft noch zu erwarten sind.

Title: We Who Wrestle With God: Perceptions of the Divine Author: Jordan B. Peterson Narrator: Jordan B. Peterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 13 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The revolutionary new offering from Jordan B. Peterson, renowned psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life In We Who Wrestle with God, Jordan Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that stabilize, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah, the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure, and the epic of Moses and the Israelites: What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them, over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction? It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies – to see ourselves and others as if for the first time. Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own conscience, and Jonah, confronting hell itself, in the belly of the whale, because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in intent, aim and purpose, as you begin to more deeply understand the structure of your society and your soul.

Title: Spinoza: Freedom's Messiah Series: Part of Jewish Lives Author: Ian Buruma Narrator: Lee Beddow Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 22 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Ian Buruma explores the life and death of Baruch Spinoza, the Enlightenment thinker whose belief in freedom of thought and speech resonates in our own time Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza (1632–1677) was a radical free thinker who led a life guided by strong moral principles despite his disbelief in an all-seeing God. Seen by many as Satan's disciple during his lifetime, Spinoza has been regarded as a secular saint since his death. Many contradictory beliefs have been attached to his name: rationalism or metaphysics, atheism or pantheism, liberalism or despotism, Jewishness or anti-Semitism. However, there is no question that he viewed freedom of thought and speech as essential to an open and free society. In this insightful account, the award-winning author Ian Buruma stresses the importance of the time and place that shaped Spinoza, beginning with the Sephardim of Amsterdam and followed by the politics of the Dutch Republic. Though Spinoza rejected the basic assumptions of his family's faith, and was consequently expelled from his Sephardic community, Buruma argues that Spinoza did indeed lead a modern Jewish life. To Heine, Hess, Marx, Freud, and no doubt many others today, Spinoza exemplified how to be Jewish without believing in Judaism. His defense of universal freedom is as important for our own time as it was in his.

Title: The Fall of Rome: End of a Superpower Series: #2 of Fall of the Roman Empire Author: Nick Holmes Narrator: Nigel Patterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 33 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A skilled storyteller, Holmes presents a riveting account of the wars, intrigues and personalities that contributed to Rome's decline, with entire chapters devoted to single battles.' Kirkus Reviews Why did Rome Fall? In this gripping retelling of one of the most momentous chapters in history, Nick Holmes presents a new interpretation of an old story. The fate of Rome was decided not just by emperors, soldiers, and barbarians but also by an environmental disaster. A catastrophic megadrought on the Asian steppes in the fourth century AD forced the migration of entire peoples—Huns, Goths, Vandals, and others—west into the Roman Empire. They met an empire weakened from war with Persia. Rome's misfortunes multiplied as it made tactical errors on the battlefield. Civil war, religious unrest, and political incompetence compounded a worsening situation. The result was one of the greatest disasters in the ancient world—the sack of Rome by the Goths in AD 410.

Title: The Roman Revolution: Crisis and Christianity in Ancient Rome Series: #1 of Fall of the Roman Empire Author: Nick Holmes Narrator: Nigel Patterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 10 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: It was a time of revolution. The Roman Revolution describes the little known 'crisis of the third century', and how it led to a revolutionary new Roman Empire. Long before the more famous collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century, in the years between AD 235-275, barbarian invasions, civil war, and plague devastated ancient Rome. Out of this ordeal came new leaders, new government, new armies, and a new vision of what it was to be Roman. Best remembered today is the rapid rise of Christianity in this period, as Rome's pagan gods were rejected, and the emperor Constantine converted to this new religion. Less well remembered is the plethora of other changes that conspired to provide an environment well suited to a religious revolution. Drawing on the latest research, Nick Holmes looks for new answers to old questions. He charts the rise of the Roman Republic and the classical Roman Empire, examining the roles played by sheer good luck and the benign climate. Focusing on the reigns of the critically important but under-researched emperors in the third century, such as Aurelian, Diocletian, and Constantine, he vividly brings to life how Rome just escaped catastrophe in the third century, and embarked on a journey that would take it into a brave new world—one which provided the foundations for modern Europe and America.

Title: On Leadership: Lessons for the 21st Century Author: Tony Blair Narrator: Tony Blair Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 5, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Tony Blair learnt the precepts of governing the hard way: by leading a country for over ten years. In that time he came to understand that there are certain key characteristics of successful government that he wished he had known about when he started. Now he has written the manual on political leadership that he would have wanted when he first took office in 1997, sharing the insights he has gained from his personal experience and from observing other world leaders at first hand, both while he was prime minister and since, through his Institute’s work with political leaders and governments globally. Written in short, pithy chapters, packed with examples drawn from all forms of political systems from around the world, the book answers the key questions: How should a leader organise the centre of government and their office? How should they prioritise and develop the right plan and hire the right personnel, cope with unforeseen events and crises, and balance short-term wins with longterm structural change? What’s the best way to deal with an obstructive or inert bureaucracy, to attract investment, to reform healthcare or education, and to ensure security for the citizen? And how should governments harness the massive opportunities of the 21st-century technological revolution? This is a masterclass on leadership in general, and political leadership in particular, from a master statesman. 'A fascinating treatise on leadership . . . I am glad Blair has written it. It will fascinate anyone interested in the art of governing, even in the abstract' Nicola Sturgeon, Guardian 'Engaging, insightful, provocative' Observer ©2024 Tony Blair (P)2024 Penguin Audio Tony Blair Thu, 05 Sep 2024 01:27:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/753710 thebookvoice.com 8:25:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/753710]]> to listen full audiobooks.

How should they prioritise and develop the right plan and hire the right personnel, cope with unforeseen events and crises, and balance short-term wins with longterm structural change? What’s the best way to deal with an obstructive or inert bureaucracy, to attract investment, to reform healthcare or education, and to ensure security for the citizen? And how should governments harness the massive opportunities of the 21st-century technological revolution? This is a masterclass on leadership in general, and political leadership in particular, from a master statesman. 'A fascinating treatise on leadership . . . I am glad Blair has written it.

Title: On Leadership: Lessons for the 21st Century Author: Tony Blair Narrator: Tony Blair Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 5, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Tony Blair learnt the precepts of governing the hard way: by leading a country for over ten years. In that time he came to understand that there are certain key characteristics of successful government that he wished he had known about when he started. Now he has written the manual on political leadership that he would have wanted when he first took office in 1997, sharing the insights he has gained from his personal experience and from observing other world leaders at first hand, both while he was prime minister and since, through his Institute’s work with political leaders and governments globally.

Title: Organon Author: Aristotle Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 46 minutes Release date: September 28, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Aristotle's Organon comprises six key essays on logic, initially collected by Theophrastus, his successor as head of the Peripatetic school, and given its final form by Andronicus some three centuries later. The six essays are: Categories, On Interpretation, Prior Analytics, Posterior Analytics, Topics and On Sophistical Refutations. One of the principal topics of Aristotle's focus is syllogism, in which two premises (one major, one minor) lead to a conclusion. This features in Prior Analytics and On Interpretation. In the other essays, Aristotle considers the structure of being, knowledge and argument. The Organon collection has remained a core text in the study of logic and prompted many commentaries by philosophers down the ages following their translation from Greek into Latin in the 12th century. The translations here are by E. M Edghill, A. J. Jenkinson, G. R. G Mure and W. A. Pickard-Cambridge.

Title: Nietzsche and Buddhism: A Study in Nihilism and Ironic Affinities Author: Robert Morrison Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 36 minutes Release date: June 25, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Morrison offers an illuminating study of two linked traditions that have figured prominently in 20th-century thought: Buddhism and the philosophy of Nietzsche. Nietzsche admired Buddhism, but saw it as a dangerously nihilistic religion; he forged his own affirmative philosophy in reaction against the nihilism that he feared would overwhelm Europe. Morrison shows that Nietzsche's influential view of Buddhism was mistaken, and that far from being nihilistic, it has notable and perhaps surprising affinities with Nietzsche's own project of the transvaluation of all values. Robert Morrison is both a trained philosopher and a practising Buddhist.

Title: [Spanish] - Lecciones de Aristóteles: Comprender al mayor filósofo de todos los tiempos Author: John Sellars Narrator: Eugenio Barona Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 16 minutes Release date: February 8, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: ¿Por qué ha tenido Aristóteles una influencia tan asombrosa en el mundo? ¿Cuáles son sus ideas clave y qué puede enseñarnos aún hoy? «A todo el mundo debería interesarle Aristóteles, ya que su filosofía es una base crucial para la ética, la ciencia, la lógica, la política y la estética del mundo occidental. Este libro breve es una introducción brillante y clara a todo el abanico de su pensamiento». Robert Eaglestone El Liceo de Atenas, hoy en ruinas, puede presumir de haber sido uno de los lugares más significativos de la historia del pensamiento. Fue la sede de la escuela de Aristóteles. Allí el filósofo enseñó y discutió las respuestas a los misterios más profundos de la condición humana, y cambió nuestra forma de reflexionar. Hoy puede resultar difícil comprender plenamente la asombrosa influencia de sus lecciones. Sin embargo, sus observaciones sobre el mundo y sus reflexiones sobre la naturaleza del conocimiento sentaron las bases de toda ciencia empírica. Sea lo que sea que nos preocupe o interese, es casi seguro que Aristóteles dijera algo extremadamente inteligente al respecto. Su estudio del pensamiento racional dio lugar a la lógica formal, piedra angular de la investigación filosófica; su examen de las ciudades-estado griegas inauguró la ciencia política; y su análisis del arte dramático sigue siendo un pilar de los cursos de literatura en todo el mundo. El aclamado filósofo John Sellars nos embarca en un viaje a través del pensamiento de Aristóteles, haciendo revivir con entusiasmo sus ideas clave y demostrando que la capacidad de curiosidad del célebre filósofo sigue ofreciéndonos a todos una visión de la vida más plena. Sellars demuestra que las lecciones de Aristóteles aún tienen mucho que enseñarnos hoy. La crítica ha dicho: «John Sellars sobresale escribiendo libros breves sobre filosofía antigua para un público general. Una excelente manera de adentrarse en uno de los más importantes filósofos de todos los tiempos». Nigel Warburton, Five Books «Un librito delicioso. Sellars defiende que todos debemos tener una idea del pensamiento de Aristóteles y de cómo ha moldeado nuestra forma de pensar. El filósofo vivió hace más de dos mil años, pero, teniendo en cuenta su influencia en casi cada aspecto del pensamiento humano actual, estoy totalmente de acuerdo con Sellars. Este libro cumple su función con mérito». Jim Al-Khalili «Sellars es un escritor claramente comprometido con la misión de hacer que la filosofía clásica sea relevante hoy».

Title: The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith, and Trust Author: Francis S. Collins Narrator: Francis S. Collins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 3 minutes Release date: September 17, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From “national treasure” Francis Collins (Philip Yancey), the New York Times bestselling author of The Language of God and former director of the National Institutes of Health, comes a deeply thoughtful guidebook to get us beyond societal divisions and back to the sources of wisdom—"the sort that can save us before it is too late” (Jane Goodall). As the COVID-19 pandemic revealed, we have become not just a hyper-partisan society but also a deeply cynical one, distrustful of traditional sources of knowledge and wisdom. Skepticism about vaccines led to the needless deaths of at least 230,000 Americans. “Do your own research” is now a rallying cry in many online rabbit holes. Yet experts can make mistakes, and institutions can lose their moral compass. So how can we navigate through all this? In The Road to Wisdom, Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgement and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his work from the Human Genome Project and heading the National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, Collins makes a robust, thoughtful case for each of these sources—their reliability, and their limits. Ultimately, he shows how they work together, not separately—and certainly not in conflict. It is only when we relink these four foundations of wisdom that we can begin to discern the best path forward in life. ​Thoughtful, accessible, winsome, and deeply wise, The Road to Wisdom leads us beyond current animosities to surer footing. Here is the moral, philosophical, and scientific framework with which to address the problems of our time—including distrust of public health, partisanship, racism, response to climate change, and threats to our democracy—but also to guide us in our daily lives. This is a book that will repay many readings, and resolve dilemmas that we all face every day. Francis S.

As the COVID-19 pandemic revealed, we have become not just a hyper-partisan society but also a deeply cynical one, distrustful of traditional sources of knowledge and wisdom. Skepticism about vaccines led to the needless deaths of at least 230,000 Americans. “Do your own research” is now a rallying cry in many online rabbit holes. Yet experts can make mistakes, and institutions can lose their moral compass. So how can we navigate through all this? In The Road to Wisdom, Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgement and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his work from the Human Genome Project and heading the National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, Collins makes a robust, thoughtful case for each of these sources—their reliability, and their limits. Ultimately, he shows how they work together, not separately—and certainly not in conflict. It is only when we relink these four foundations of wisdom that we can begin to discern the best path forward in life. ​Thoughtful, accessible, winsome, and deeply wise, The Road to Wisdom leads us beyond current animosities to surer footing. Here is the moral, philosophical, and scientific framework with which to address the problems of our time—including distrust of public health, partisanship, racism, response to climate change, and threats to our democracy—but also to guide us in our daily lives. This is a book that will repay many readings, and resolve dilemmas that we all face every day. Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752282]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: On Freedom Author: Timothy Snyder Narrator: Timothy Snyder Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 48 minutes Release date: September 17, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A brilliant exploration of freedom—what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s our only chance for survival—by the acclaimed Yale historian and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller On Tyranny “A rigorous and visionary argument . . . Buy or borrow this book, read it, take it to heart.”—The Guardian Timothy Snyder has been called “the leading interpreter of our dark times.” As a historian, he has given us startling reinterpretations of political collapse and mass killing. As a public intellectual, he has turned that knowledge toward counsel and prediction, working against authoritarianism here and abroad. His book On Tyranny has inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom. Now, in this tour de force of political philosophy, he helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. Freedom is the great American commitment, but as Snyder argues, we have lost sight of what it means—and this is leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: We think we're free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government overreach. But true freedom isn’t so much freedom from as freedom to—the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible. On Freedom takes us on a thrilling intellectual journey. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences coming of age in a time of American exceptionalism, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes—the habits of mind—that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions (championed by the right) but also the role of institutions (the purview of the left). Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace.

Title: [German] - Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung Band 2: Ergänzungen zum ersten Buch Author: Arthur Schopenhauer Narrator: Volker Braumann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 13 minutes Release date: January 26, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Arthur Schopenhauer - Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung Band 2 – Die Ergänzungen zum ersten Buch Mit ebenso großer Klarheit und Eleganz wie im 1. Band seines Hauptwerks setzt Arthur Schopenhauer nun auch im 2. Band von 'Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung' seine pessimistisch-voluntaristische Metaphysik des Lebens fort, wobei er, direkt Bezug nehmend auf Paragrafen des 1. Bandes, zentrale Gedanken seiner Philosophie weiter vertieft und um mehr als nur perspektivische Facetten bereichert. So finden sich in den hier vorliegenden 'Ergänzungen zum ersten Buch des 1. Bandes' vertiefende Darstellungen zur anschauenden und abstrakten Erkenntnisweise sowie zur Methodenlehre. Den Abschluss bildet ein fulminantes Kapitel zum metaphysischen Bedürfnis des Menschen. Deutlicher noch als im 1. Band hebt Schopenhauer hier seinen immanenten Metaphysikbegriff deutlich hervor und grenzt ihn so klar ab von anderen Metaphysik-Systemen seiner Zeit. Nachdem Hörbuch-Sprecher Volker Braumann bereits den 1. Band von 'Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung' komplett eingelesen hat, setzt er mit den 'Ergänzungen zum ersten Buch' nun die Veröffentlichungsreihe fort. Wie im ersten Band, so sind auch jedem Kapitel des zweiten Bandes zusammenfassende und das Verständnis erleichternde Synopsen beigegeben.

Title: The Beauty of Falling: A Life in Pursuit of Gravity Author: Claudia De Rham Narrator: Juliet Stevenson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 39 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Juliet Stevenson shares the story of a world-renowned physicist who seeks gravity's true nature and finds wisdom in embracing its force in her life Claudia de Rham has been playing with gravity her entire life. As a diver, experimenting with her body's buoyancy in the Indian Ocean. As a pilot, soaring over Canadian waterfalls on dark mornings before beginning her daily scientific research. As an astronaut candidate, dreaming of the experience of flying free from Earth's pull. And as a physicist, discovering new sides to gravity's irresistible personality by exploring the limits of Einstein's general theory of relativity. In The Beauty of Falling, de Rham shares captivating stories about her quest to gain intimacy with gravity, to understand both its feeling and fundamental nature. Her life's pursuit led her from a twist of fate that snatched away her dream of becoming an astronaut to an exhilarating breakthrough at the very frontiers of gravitational physics. While many of us presume to know gravity quite well, the brightest scientists in history have yet to fully answer the simple question: what exactly is gravity? de Rham reveals how great minds—from Newton and Einstein to Stephen Hawking, Andrea Ghez, and Roger Penrose—led her to the edge of knowledge about this fundamental force. She found hints of a hidden side to gravity at the particle level where Einstein's theory breaks down, leading her to develop a new theory of 'massive gravity.' de Rham shares how her life's path turned from a precipitous fall to an exquisite flight toward the discovery of something entirely new about our surprising, gravity-driven universe.

Title: The Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience Author: Evan Thompson, Marcelo Gleiser, Adam Frank Narrator: Perry Daniels Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 59 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In The Blind Spot, astrophysicist Adam Frank, theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser, and philosopher Evan Thompson call for a revolutionary scientific worldview, where science includes—rather than ignores or tries not to see—humanity's lived experience as an inescapable part of our search for objective truth. They urge practitioners to reframe how science works for the sake of our future in the face of the planetary climate crisis and increasing science denialism. When we try to understand reality only through external physical things imagined from this outside position, we lose sight of the necessity of experience. This is the Blind Spot, which the authors show lies behind our scientific conundrums about time and the origin of the universe, quantum physics, life, AI and the mind, consciousness, and Earth as a planetary system. The authors propose an alternative vision: scientific knowledge is a self-correcting narrative made from the world and our experience of it evolving together. The Blind Spot goes where no science book goes, urging us to create a new scientific culture that views ourselves both as an expression of nature and as a source of nature's self-understanding, so that humanity can flourish in the new millennium.

Title: Awkwardness: A Theory Author: Alexandra Plakias Narrator: Patricia Shade Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 45 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Awkwardness offers an account of the psychology and philosophical significance of a ubiquitous social phenomenon. Our aversion to awkwardness mirrors our desire for inclusion. This explains its power to influence and silence us: as social creatures, we don't want to mark ourselves as outsiders. As a result, our fear of awkwardness inhibits critique and conversation, acting as an impediment to moral and social progress. Even the act of describing people as 'awkward' exacerbates existing inequities, by consigning them to a social status that gives them less access to the social goods (knowledge, confidence, social esteem) needed to navigate potentially awkward situations. Awkwardness discusses how we ostracize and punish those who fail to fit into existing social categories; how we all depend on—and are limited by—social scripts and norms for guidance; and how these norms frequently let us down when we need them. But awkwardness has a positive side: it can highlight opportunities for moral and social improvement, by revealing areas where our social norms and scripts fail to meet our needs or have yet to catch up with changing social and moral realities. Awkwardness ultimately underscores the conflict between our moral motivations and our desire for social approval and conformity.

Title: Wonderstruck: How Wonder and Awe Shape the Way We Think Author: Helen De Cruz Narrator: Lisa S. Ware Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 29 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.67 of Total 3 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Wonder and awe lie at the heart of life's most profound questions. Wonderstruck shows how these emotions respond to our fundamental need to make sense of ourselves and everything around us, and how they enable us to engage with the world as if we are experiencing it for the first time. Drawing on the latest psychological insights on emotions, Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that humanity has deliberately nurtured these emotions in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. Tracing how wonder and awe unify philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences, De Cruz provides new perspectives on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Adam Smith, William James, Rachel Carson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Abraham Heschel. Along the way, she explains how these singular emotions empower us to be open-minded, to experience joy and hope, and to be resilient in the face of personal troubles and global challenges. Taking inspiration from Descartes's portrayal of wonder as 'that sudden surprise of the soul,' this illuminating book reveals how wonder and awe are catalysts that can help us reclaim what makes life worth living and preserve the things we find wonderful and valuable in our lives.

Title: Wonderstruck: How Wonder and Awe Shape the Way We Think Author: Helen De Cruz Narrator: Lisa S. Ware Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 29 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.67 of Total 3 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Wonder and awe lie at the heart of life's most profound questions. Wonderstruck shows how these emotions respond to our fundamental need to make sense of ourselves and everything around us, and how they enable us to engage with the world as if we are experiencing it for the first time. Drawing on the latest psychological insights on emotions, Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that humanity has deliberately nurtured these emotions in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. Tracing how wonder and awe unify philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences, De Cruz provides new perspectives on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Adam Smith, William James, Rachel Carson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Abraham Heschel.

Title: Out of One, Many: Ancient Greek Ways of Thought and Culture Author: Jennifer T. Roberts Narrator: Petrea Burchard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 52 minutes Release date: May 28, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Covering the whole of the ancient Greek experience from its beginnings late in the third millennium BCE to the Roman conquest in 30 BCE, Out of One, Many is an accessible and lively introduction to the Greeks and their ways of living and thinking. In this fresh and witty exploration of the thought, culture, society, and history of the Greeks, Jennifer Roberts traces not only the common values that united them across the seas and the centuries, but also the enormous diversity in their ideas and beliefs. Examining the importance to the Greeks of religion, mythology, the Homeric epics, tragic and comic drama, philosophy, and the city-state, the book offers shifting perspectives on an extraordinary and astonishingly creative people. Century after century, in one medium after another, the Greeks addressed big questions, many of which are still very much with us. Yet for all their virtues, Greek men set themselves apart from women and foreigners and profited from the unpaid labor of enslaved workers, and the book also looks at the mixed legacy of the ancient Greeks today. The result is a rich, wide-ranging, and compelling history of a fascinating and profoundly influential culture in all its complexity—and the myriad ways, good and bad, it continues to shape us today.

Title: On Gaslighting Author: Kate Abramson Narrator: Christina Delaine Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 14 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: 'Gaslighting' is suddenly in everyone's vocabulary. It's written about, talked about, tweeted about, even sung about. It's become shorthand for being manipulated by someone who insists that up is down, hot is cold, dark is light—someone who isn't just lying about such things, but trying to drive you crazy. The term has its origins in a 1944 film in which a husband does exactly that to his wife, his crazy-making efforts symbolized by the rise and fall of the gaslights in their home. In this timely and provocative book, Kate Abramson examines gaslighting from a philosophical perspective, investigating it as a distinctive moral phenomenon. Gaslighting, Abramson writes, is best understood as a form of interpersonal interaction, a particular way of fundamentally undermining someone. The gaslighter, Abramson argues, aims to make his target experience herself as incapable of reasoning, perceiving, or reacting in ways that would allow her to form appropriate beliefs, perceptions, or emotions in the first place. He seeks not only to induce in her this unmoored sense of herself but also to make it a reality. Using examples and analysis, Abramson gives an account of gaslighting and its immorality, and argues that such a discussion can help us understand other aspects of social life—from racism and sexism to the structure of interpersonal trust.

Title: [German] - Philosophie einer radikalen Mitte - lit.COLOGNE live (Ungekürzt) Author: Markus Gabriel, Gert Scobel Narrator: Gert Scobel, Markus Gabriel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 4 minutes Release date: March 1, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Ein gutes Leben, das Richtige tun: Wie kann das gelingen? Gert Scobel und Markus Gabriel entwerfen eine neue Ethik, auf die wir - als Einzelne, als Gesellschaft und als Staat - unser Handeln auch in Krisenzeiten aufbauen können. 'Zwischen Gut und Böse' gibt es unzählige Möglichkeiten. Anknüpfend an Traditionen der positiven Lebenspraxis und an abendländische und asiatische Denkweisen gehen die beiden Philosophen der Frage nach, wie wir in einer komplexen Welt mit begrenzter Erkenntnis gute Entscheidungen treffen können. Wie finden wir heraus, was wir aus moralischen Gründen tun bzw. unterlassen sollten? Eine Erkenntnis darüber brauchen wir, um den Herausforderungen unserer Zeit mit geübter Urteilskraft zu begegnen und die Zukunft zu gestalten, betonen die beiden Philosophen. Vor uns liegt ein gewaltiger Raum der Möglichkeiten. Und in dem ist, davon sind Markus Gabriel und Gert Scobel überzeugt, das Gute immer eine reale Option.

Title: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Love Author: Martin Luther King Jr. Narrator: Dominic Hoffman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 2 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A remarkable compilation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s reflections on love and its transformative power—a stellar addition to Dr. King’s archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. “I have also decided to stick with love for I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind’s problems.”—Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King, one of the greatest civil rights leaders in history, wrote and reflected frequently about love. He understood its transformative power and the essential role love played in his mission as the catalyst for positive change. Now for the first time, in this project of the Dr. King archives published exclusively by HarperCollins, readers will get access to many of King’s writings on love—compiled in a deeply insightful, moving and transformative work of literature. Each section of the book is accompanied by brief introductory editorial remarks that reflect on the historical context of each speech, sermon, and piece of writing, and will further enrich the reader's understanding and appreciation of Dr. King's timeless wisdom. Love is explored, championed, and debated around the world. It is the central concern of many religious practices. Readers are deeply curious about its nature. C.S. Lewis' The Four Loves, Thich Nhat Hanh's How To Love, or even bell hooks' All About Love showcase that readers and writers share this universal longing and fascination to uncover love’s mysteries. This book represents the first volume in an ''On'' series from the MLK archives, featuring MLK on various subjects. By grouping his work by subject, readers will get a glimpse at the evolution of his ideas and understand the circumstances in which that theme emerged to lead his concerns.

Title: America's Racial Karma: An Invitation to Heal Author: Larry Ward Ph.D. Narrator: Larry Ward Ph.D., Sean Polite Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 39 minutes Release date: January 18, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Immediate, illuminating, and hopeful: this is the key set of talks given by leading Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward, PhD, on breaking America’s cycle of racial trauma. As an 11-year-old child, Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward was shot at by the police for playing baseball in the wrong spot. As an adult, he experienced the trauma of having his home firebombed by racists. At Plum Village Monastery in France—the home in exile of his teacher, Vietnamese peace activist and Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh—Dr. Ward found a way to heal. In these short reflective essays, he offers his insights on the effects of racial constructs and answers the question: How do we free ourselves from our repeated cycles of anger, denial, bitterness, pain, fear, violence? “I am a drop in the ocean, but I’m also the ocean,” he says. “I’m a drop in America, but I’m also America. Every pain, every confusion, every good and every bad and ugly of America is in me. And as I transform myself and heal and take care of myself, I’m very conscious that I’m healing and transforming and taking care of America. I say this for American cynics, but this is also true globally. It’s for real.” Here, Ward looks at the causes and conditions that have led us to our current state and finds, hidden in the crisis, a profound opportunity to reinvent what it means to be a human being. This is an invitation to transform America’s racial karma.

Title: Enlightenment is an Accident: Ancient Wisdom & Simple Practices to Make You Accident Prone Author: Tim Burkett Narrator: Kyle Tait Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A warm-hearted guide to Buddhist practice for those ready to contend with the reality that enlightenment—the realization of non-self—can't be achieved by the self. A well-known spiritual saying goes, 'Enlightenment is an accident. But we can make ourselves more accident-prone.' As an authentic American Zen takes shape, enlightenment continues to be misunderstood as a project to be completed, a goal to be achieved, or a prize to be awarded. Tim Burkett's new book unhooks enlightenment from the hot air balloon of ego and brings it back down to earth. Drawing on stories of his first teacher, the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki (author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind), and Burkett's decades of practice and teaching, he reveals how to live in the world with a deep joy that comes from embracing the work and play of this very moment. With the wisdom and humor of a seasoned practitioner familiar with all manner of eccentric fixations and silly dead-ends, he offers views and practices we can use to support the paradoxical process of letting enlightenment happen on its own.

With the wisdom and humor of a seasoned practitioner familiar with all manner of eccentric fixations and silly dead-ends, he offers views and practices we can use to support the paradoxical process of letting enlightenment happen on its own. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/745681 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/745681]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Italian] - Filosofia per principianti Come comprendere le basi della filosofia e applicarle con successo nella vita di tutti i giorni attraverso Esercizi pratici. Author: Jakob Schröter Narrator: Sara Elisa Frison Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 34 minutes Release date: January 19, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Filosofia - il termine suona affascinante, bello, in qualche modo romantico e armonioso e allo stesso tempo come un grande sforzo intellettuale. In realtà, la filosofia non è né particolarmente romantica né particolarmente faticosa. È vero che bisogna usare il cervello e forse alcune cose superano il normale buon senso, ma fondamentalmente la filosofia significa semplicemente interessarsi alle persone e al mondo. L'immagine che si ha nella mente degli antichi filosofi greci che passeggiano nelle loro lunghe vesti sotto il sole ateniese mentre si scambiano pensieri può sembrare romantica, ma spesso affrontavano questioni serie e molti non solo facevano amicizia con i loro pensieri a volte rivoluzionari. In questa guida, vorrei darle una prima visione del grande tema della filosofia e anche avvicinarla a lei in modo pratico. Dopo averle spiegato cos'è esattamente la filosofia e di cosa si occupa, vorrei presentarle non solo alcune importanti correnti filosofiche e la saggezza dei filosofi, ma anche darle alcuni esercizi e consigli per aiutarla a integrare la filosofia nella sua vita.

Title: Hannah's Children: The Stories of Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth Author: Catherine Pakaluk Narrator: Jaimee Draper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 7 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A portrait of America's most interesting yet overlooked women. In the midst of a historic "birth dearth," why do some 5 percent of American women choose to defy the demographic norm by bearing five or more children? Hannah’s Children is a compelling portrait of these overlooked but fascinating mothers who, like the biblical Hannah, see their children as their purpose, their contribution, and their greatest blessing. The social scientist Catherine Pakaluk, herself the mother of eight, traveled across the United States and interviewed fifty-five college-educated women who were raising five or more children. Through open-ended questions, she sought to understand who these women are, why and when they chose to have a large family, and what this choice means for them, their families, and the nation. Hannah’s Children is more than interesting stories of extraordinary women. It presents information that is urgently relevant for the future of American prosperity. Many countries have experimented with aggressively pro-natalist public policies, and all of them have failed. Pakaluk finds that the quantitative methods to which the social sciences limit themselves overlook important questions of meaning and identity in their inquiries into fertility rates. Her book is a pathbreaking foray into questions of purpose, religion, transcendence, healing, and growth—questions that ought to inform economic inquiry in the future.

Title: Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than The Life You Deserve Author: Drew Afualo Narrator: Drew Afualo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 32 minutes Release date: August 1, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first book by the TikTok and Spotify star Drew Afualo. Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s 'Crusader for Women' and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars, with more than nine million followers across her social platforms. She soon realized that men on social media were creating sexist content aimed at disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny, and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms. Loud is part manual, part manifesto and part memoir. It is a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of terrible men and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals. Above all, it makes it clear that behind Drew’s fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the centre of how women and fems think about themselves. © Drew Afualo 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024 Drew Afualo Thu, 01 Aug 2024 01:27:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/742653 thebookvoice.com 6:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/742653]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America Author: Beth Linker Narrator: Laurel Lefkow Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 18 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Laurel Lefkow recounts the strange and surprising history of the so-called epidemic of bad posture in modern America—from eugenics and posture pageants to today's promoters of 'paleo posture' In 1995, a scandal erupted when the New York Times revealed that the Smithsonian possessed a century's worth of nude 'posture' photos of college students. In this riveting history, Beth Linker tells why these photos were only a small part of the incredible story of twentieth-century America's largely forgotten posture panic—a decades-long episode in which it was widely accepted as scientific fact that Americans were suffering from an epidemic of bad posture, with potentially catastrophic health consequences. Tracing the rise and fall of this socially manufactured epidemic, Slouch also tells how this period continues to feed today's widespread anxieties about posture. In the early twentieth century, the eugenics movement and fears of disability gave slouching a new scientific relevance. Bad posture came to be seen as an individual health threat, an affront to conventional race hierarchies, and a sign of American decline. What followed were massive efforts to measure, track, and prevent slouching and, later, back pain—campaigns that reached schools, workplaces, and beyond, from the creation of the American Posture League to posture pageants. The popularity of posture-enhancing products, such as girdles and lumbar supports, exploded, as did new fitness programs focused on postural muscles, such as Pilates and modern yoga. By 1970, student protests largely brought an end to school posture exams and photos, but many efforts to fight bad posture continued, despite a lack of scientific evidence. A compelling history that mixes seriousness and humor, Slouch is a unique and provocative account of the unexpected origins of our largely unquestioned ideas about bad posture.

Title: Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America Author: Beth Linker Narrator: Laurel Lefkow Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 18 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Laurel Lefkow recounts the strange and surprising history of the so-called epidemic of bad posture in modern America—from eugenics and posture pageants to today's promoters of 'paleo posture' In 1995, a scandal erupted when the New York Times revealed that the Smithsonian possessed a century's worth of nude 'posture' photos of college students. In this riveting history, Beth Linker tells why these photos were only a small part of the incredible story of twentieth-century America's largely forgotten posture panic—a decades-long episode in which it was widely accepted as scientific fact that Americans were suffering from an epidemic of bad posture, with potentially catastrophic health consequences. Tracing the rise and fall of this socially manufactured epidemic, Slouch also tells how this period continues to feed today's widespread anxieties about posture. In the early twentieth century, the eugenics movement and fears of disability gave slouching a new scientific relevance. Bad posture came to be seen as an individual health threat, an affront to conventional race hierarchies, and a sign of American decline.

Title: Religious Equality Refuted Author: Gregory Heary Narrator: Omar Abu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 51 minutes Release date: January 3, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Feeling overwhelmed by the multitude of religious doctrines and societal values? Discover how true humility and understanding can lead you to spiritual clarity. As society increasingly worships the material—money, fame, and power—many find themselves estranged from true spiritual fulfillment. This book challenges the superficial allure of these false idols, advocating for a life centered around spiritual truths and divine teachings. It provokes thought on the essence of true religion, critiquing the common dismissal of religious beliefs as outdated or false. This book refutes the concept of Religious Equality from many aspects. For the agnostic or secular or irreligious or anti-religious this book proves how everyone is upon a religious faith even if they don't know it and that it is impossible to not have a religion. Also the importance of choosing a religion is established as the most important decision one can make and the concept that all religions are equal is a extremist false faith. This masterpiece offers a deep dive into the essence of true religion, providing clarity and guidance. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the true path to spiritual enlightenment.

Title: The Essential Fromm: Life Between Having and Being Author: Erich Fromm Narrator: Jim Seybert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 30 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from 'both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability' (Chicago Tribune). As Erich Fromm points out, ours is 'a life between having and being'—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

With his concept of 'social character,' Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium. The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields.

Title: How to be Healthy: An Ancient Guide to Wellness Series: Part of Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers Author: Galen Narrator: Cindy Kay, Rick Adamson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The second-century Greek physician Galen—the most famous doctor in antiquity after Hippocrates—is a central figure in Western medicine. A talented doctor, surgeon, writer, philosopher, teacher, pharmacologist, and inventor, Galen attended the court of Marcus Aurelius, living through outbreaks of plague that devastated the Roman Empire. He also served as a physician for professional gladiators. In writings that provided the foundation of Western medicine up to the nineteenth century, Galen created a unified account of health and disease. In How to Be Healthy, practicing physician and classical historian Katherine Van Schaik presents a collection of Galen's enduring insights about how we can take care of our bodies and minds, prevent disease, and reach a healthy old age. Although we now know that many of Galen's ideas about physiology are wrong, How to Be Healthy shows that much of his advice remains sound. In these selections from his writings, presented in fresh translations, Galen discusses the art of medicine, exercise and diet, the mind-body connection, the difficulty of applying general medical principles to individuals, and much more. Featuring an introduction and brief commentaries that connect ancient medical practices to modern ones, How to Be Healthy offers an entertaining and enlightening new perspective on the age-old pursuit of wellness.

In these selections from his writings, presented in fresh translations, Galen discusses the art of medicine, exercise and diet, the mind-body connection, the difficulty of applying general medical principles to individuals, and much more. Featuring an introduction and brief commentaries that connect ancient medical practices to modern ones, How to Be Healthy offers an entertaining and enlightening new perspective on the age-old pursuit of wellness.

Les deux derniers livres sont consacrés à définir l'amitié, telle qu'elle existe et telle qu'elle doit être vécue par l'homme vertueux. La méthode aristotélicienne permet de distinguer les différentes causes et les différentes manifestations de l'amitié, nécessaire à l'homme et qui lui révèle son appartenance à la communauté. Le véritable ami est celui qui aime l'autre pour lui, et non en vue de ce qu'il peut lui apporter.

Title: Activating the Common Good: Reclaiming Control of Our Collective Well-Being Author: Peter Block Narrator: Alex Christiansen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 22 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A powerful, inspiring, and achievable vision of a society based on cooperation and community instead of competition and commodification. This book counters the dominant and destructive story that we are polarized, violent, selfish, and destined to consume everything in sight. That is not who we are. The challenge, Peter Block says, is that we are suffering under an economic theology that is based on scarcity, self-interest, competition, and infinite growth. We're told we can purchase and outsource all that matters. Block calls this the 'business perspective narrative.' It dominates not only the economy but also architecture, faith communities, journalism, arts, neighborhoods, and much more. Block offers an antidote: the 'common good narrative.' It embodies the belief that we are basically communal and cooperative. And that we have the capacity to communally produce what we care most about: raising a child, safety, livelihood, health, and a clean and sustainable environment. This book describes how shifts to the common good perspective could transform many areas, fostering journalism that reports on what works, architecture that designs habitable spaces creating connection, faith collectives that build community, a market that is restrained and local, and leadership and activism that build social capital by creating trust among citizens. With these shifts, we would fundamentally change the world we live in for the better.

Title: Utilitarianism Author: John Stuart Mill Narrator: Jamey Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 20 minutes Release date: December 25, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Mill's book Utilitarianism first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861 and was reprinted as a single book in 1863. John Stuart Mill was brought up as a Benthamite with the explicit intention that he would carry on the cause of utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is a family of consequentialist ethical theories that promotes actions that maximize happiness and well-being for the majority of a population. Although different varieties of utilitarianism admit different characterizations, the basic idea behind all of them is to in some sense maximize utility, which is often defined in terms of well-being or related concepts. Utilitarianism is a version of consequentialism, which states that the consequences of any action are the only standard of right and wrong. Unlike other forms of consequentialism, such as egoism and altruism, utilitarianism considers the interests of all beings equally. Famous works of the author John Stuart Mill: A System of Logic, Essays on Some Unsettled Questions of Political Economy, Principles of Political Economy, A Few Words on Non-intervention, On Liberty, Considerations on Representative Government, Utilitarianism, Аutobiography, Three Essays on Religion, Socialism, The Subjection of Women, England and Ireland.

Title: Utilitarianism Author: John Stuart Mill Narrator: Jamey Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 20 minutes Release date: December 25, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Mill's book Utilitarianism first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861 and was reprinted as a single book in 1863. John Stuart Mill was brought up as a Benthamite with the explicit intention that he would carry on the cause of utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is a family of consequentialist ethical theories that promotes actions that maximize happiness and well-being for the majority of a population. Although different varieties of utilitarianism admit different characterizations, the basic idea behind all of them is to in some sense maximize utility, which is often defined in terms of well-being or related concepts. Utilitarianism is a version of consequentialism, which states that the consequences of any action are the only standard of right and wrong. Unlike other forms of consequentialism, such as egoism and altruism, utilitarianism considers the interests of all beings equally.

Title: The Art of the Interesting: What We Miss in Our Pursuit of the Good Life and How to Cultivate It Author: Lorraine Besser Narrator: Lauren Ezzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 34 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Philosopher and popular Middlebury professor Dr. Lorraine Besser reveals the missing third piece in our search for the Good Life—what she calls The Interesting—and teaches us how to cultivate it in our lives. Do you know anyone who's truly living The Good Life? Traditionally, philosophers and psychologists have thought of the Good Life in terms of happiness or meaning, or some combination of both. But, if it’s really that simple, if all you need is more happiness or meaning to get to the Good Life, why aren’t more of us achieving that truly “good” life? You’ve hit all the traditional markers, jumped on the happiness train, committed to a gratitude practice, sought purpose in your work, and yet The Good Life you’re seeking, is still out of reach.        Emerging research is revealing that there is, in fact, more to the good life than the current —and even ancient—conversation suggests. This has been identified as psychological richness. Dr. Lorraine Besser, a founding investigator in these studies, shows how psychological richness helps to make our Good Lives more interesting. Interesting experiences captivate our minds, engage our thoughts and emotions, and often change our perspective.   What’s interesting is different for everyone, and everyone can obtain and strengthen the skills necessary to access the interesting.        In this illuminating book, you’ll take a deeper dive into the ways that you can cultivate the interesting in your everyday life, including:   - How to develop an interesting mindset - How to harness the power of novelty - How to turn obstacles into adventures     Through delightful stories, powerful tools, and new mindsets, you’ll learn how to “keep it interesting.” Whether you feel like something is missing from your life, or you’re yearning for more, Besser's groundbreaking manifesto will guide you toward a fuller, more satisfying life.

Title: Should We Go Extinct?: A Philosophical Dilemma for Our Unbearable Times Author: Todd May Narrator: Sean Patrick Hopkins, Michael Schur Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 23 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Should we bring new humans into the world? Or would it be better off without us? A renowned philosopher and advisor to NBC’s The Good Place offers a thoughtful exploration of humanity’s future—or lack thereof.   “For more than five years, Todd May was my philosophical advisor. I heartily recommend that he be yours as well. (It helps that he’s quite funny.)”—Michael Schur, from the Introduction   These days it’s harder than ever to watch TV, scroll social media, or even just sit at home looking out of the window without contemplating the question at the heart of philosopher Todd May’s Should We Go Extinct? Facing climate destruction and the revived specter of nuclear annihilation even as humans continue to cause untold suffering to our fellow creatures on planet Earth, we are forced each day to contemplate whether the world would be better off in our absence.   In this timely, fascinating examination, May, a renowned philosopher and advisor to the acclaimed TV show The Good Place, reasons both for and against the continuation of our species, trying to help us understand how and whether, the positive and negative tallies of the human ledger are comparable, and what conclusions we might draw about ourselves and our future from doing so. He discusses the value that only humans can bring to the world and to one another as well as the goods, like art and music, that would be lost were we no longer here. On the other side of the ledger, he walks us through the suffering we cause to nature and the non-human world, seeking to understand whether it’s possible to justify such suffering against our merits and if not, what changes we could make to reduce the harm we cause.    In this moment of rising pessimism about the future, and as many people wonder whether they should bring children into such a dark and difficult world, the questions May tackles in Should We Go Extinct? are hardly theoretical. As he explores the complexities involved with changes such as an end to factory farming, curbing scientific testing of animals, reducing the human population, and seeking to develop empathy with our fellow creatures, May sketches a powerful framework for establishing our responsibilities as a species and gives hope that we might one day find universal agreement that the answer to his title question should be No. Todd May Tue, 06 Aug 2024 01:27:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739025 thebookvoice.com 4:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739025]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: What Is Property?: An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government Author: Pierre-Joseph Proudhon Narrator: James Gillies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 19, 2022 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: ‘Property is Theft', a phrase which has passed into common parlance, was the rallying call of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's political treatise What Is Property? Proudhon (1809-1865) was both admired and excoriated. A political theorist of the first order, he was vilified in his native France by the Communists and the Monarchists alike, though admired by Karl Marx as well as many in the nation's academia and judiciary who valued the clarity of his thought and analytical method. He criticised both Right and Left (the very definition of French political thinking), describing them as two sides of the same coin. Their solutions to society's ills, he said, were like Thesis and Antithesis, based on a common error and both inadequate to the task of healing society. He offered, instead, a third way, which he called his Synthesis. Regarded as the founder of modern Anarchism, his aim was not to engender chaos, as the word anarchy often connotes, but to suggest a workable, political, and economic foundation for society which would promote order and equity for all under the most unfettered conditions of individual liberty. Proudhon grew up in poverty, and was home schooled as a child, but received a bursary in his youth sufficient to allow him to attend the City College in his home town (though not sufficient, it seems, to buy him shoes). There, he discovered the library which introduced him to a world, classical and contemporary, previously denied him. Lacking wealth or contacts, he worked variously as a printer, a compositor and proof-reader by day and an essayist by night, learning Latin along the way to assist in his work. In 1830, a friend, a scholar, invited Proudhon to join him in Paris to pursue his philosophical writings full time. When a cholera outbreak forced his return home, Proudhon spent the next few years juggling his two careers. In 1839, he applied for a pension (bursary) at the Academy of Besançon which obliged him to write works on its behalf. What Is Property?, published in France in 1840, was his first. It was so controversial that little else followed. However, it established his reputation, and he was eventually able to pursue his philosophical work full time. What Is Property? (First Memoir) attempts to uncover the roots of poverty and associated social ills and examines different attitudes to poverty and wealth from the Greeks to the present day. Proudhon quickly identifies a common thread, property, which he distinguishes from possession, and argues that only a fundamental, though gradual, abandonment of property (as an asset) and all that flows from it, can rescue society from its current conflicts. The memoir seeks to illuminate the underlying causes of war, poverty, slavery, and oppression and points the way to a solution. In effect, it is a practical manual for the survival of mankind. The Second Memoir (1841), included on this recording, is Proudhon's response to the criticisms of the First Memoir, initially uncomprehending and then self-assured by turns. What Is Property? is Proudhon's masterwork. It divides opinion, but no one who hears it can come away with their view of their own world unchanged. Translation: Benjamin R. Tucker.

In 1830, a friend, a scholar, invited Proudhon to join him in Paris to pursue his philosophical writings full time. When a cholera outbreak forced his return home, Proudhon spent the next few years juggling his two careers. In 1839, he applied for a pension (bursary) at the Academy of Besançon which obliged him to write works on its behalf. What Is Property?, published in France in 1840, was his first. It was so controversial that little else followed. However, it established his reputation, and he was eventually able to pursue his philosophical work full time. What Is Property? (First Memoir) attempts to uncover the roots of poverty and associated social ills and examines different attitudes to poverty and wealth from the Greeks to the present day. Proudhon quickly identifies a common thread, property, which he distinguishes from possession, and argues that only a fundamental, though gradual, abandonment of property (as an asset) and all that flows from it, can rescue society from its current conflicts. The memoir seeks to illuminate the underlying causes of war, poverty, slavery, and oppression and points the way to a solution. In effect, it is a practical manual for the survival of mankind. The Second Memoir (1841), included on this recording, is Proudhon's response to the criticisms of the First Memoir, initially uncomprehending and then self-assured by turns. What Is Property? is Proudhon's masterwork. It divides opinion, but no one who hears it can come away with their view of their own world unchanged. Translation: Benjamin R. Tucker.

Title: What Is Property?: An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government Author: Pierre-Joseph Proudhon Narrator: James Gillies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 19, 2022 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: ‘Property is Theft', a phrase which has passed into common parlance, was the rallying call of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's political treatise What Is Property? Proudhon (1809-1865) was both admired and excoriated. A political theorist of the first order, he was vilified in his native France by the Communists and the Monarchists alike, though admired by Karl Marx as well as many in the nation's academia and judiciary who valued the clarity of his thought and analytical method. He criticised both Right and Left (the very definition of French political thinking), describing them as two sides of the same coin. Their solutions to society's ills, he said, were like Thesis and Antithesis, based on a common error and both inadequate to the task of healing society. He offered, instead, a third way, which he called his Synthesis. Regarded as the founder of modern Anarchism, his aim was not to engender chaos, as the word anarchy often connotes, but to suggest a workable, political, and economic foundation for society which would promote order and equity for all under the most unfettered conditions of individual liberty. Proudhon grew up in poverty, and was home schooled as a child, but received a bursary in his youth sufficient to allow him to attend the City College in his home town (though not sufficient, it seems, to buy him shoes). There, he discovered the library which introduced him to a world, classical and contemporary, previously denied him. Lacking wealth or contacts, he worked variously as a printer, a compositor and proof-reader by day and an essayist by night, learning Latin along the way to assist in his work. In 1830, a friend, a scholar, invited Proudhon to join him in Paris to pursue his philosophical writings full time.

Title: Which Way Is Up?: Finding Heart in the Hardest of Times Author: Susan Gillis Chapman Narrator: Dina Pearlman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 36 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A heartfelt guide for meeting difficult times with mindfulness, compassion, and courage—from a psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner who learned from her own crisis. Using personal examples from her own recent bardo crisis—undergoing cancer treatment during the pandemic—and offering contemplative prompts for inner-reflection and a meditation practice in each chapter, psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner Susan Chapman demystifies the three main types of fear people experience (frozen, awake, and core), and how to meet each with love. This heartfelt guide from someone who's been there and done the work will help us get through life's challenges and restore our equilibrium, while also inviting a valuable opportunity for personal growth. Which Way Is Up? draws from traditional Buddhist teachings on the bardo, a Tibetan word most often associated with the period between death and rebirth. Chapman likens the bardo to abrupt episodes in our lives when things seem to turn upside down and we can't find our footing. In such times of not-knowing, our fearful mind tends to panic trying to make sense out of our experience. Instead, Chapman meets the listener in their groundlessness to show how these turning points can force us to let go of our assumptions about the future and allow something new to be reborn.

Title: On Freedom Author: Timothy Snyder Narrator: Timothy Snyder Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 48 minutes Release date: September 19, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. From the acclaimed, bestselling author of On Tyranny comes a brilliant exploration of freedom – what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s our only chance for survival. Freedom is our great commitment, but we have lost sight of what it means – leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: we think we’re free if we can do and say as we please. But true freedom isn’t so much freedom from, as freedom to – the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. Intimate yet ambitious, this book forges a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity and grace. On Tyranny inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom; On Freedom helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy. ‘In these hard times for liberty, On Freedom makes the case that freedom, once explored and understood, is the way forward’ PRESIDENT ZELENSKY ‘Everyone who cares about freedom should read this book’ ANNE APPLEBAUM ‘Passionate, intimate, compelling – a clarion call’ PHILIPPE SANDS © Timothy Snyder 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024 Timothy Snyder Thu, 19 Sep 2024 01:27:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737664 thebookvoice.com 10:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737664]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Myth of Enlightenment: An Interview with OM C. Parkin Author: Om C. Parkin Narrator: Om C. Parkin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 49 minutes Release date: December 15, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: 'All desires are a disguise covering up one real desire: the desire to be free.' In this conversation, the biggest misconceptions about enlightenment are exposed. OM talks about the distinction between awakening experiences and enlightenment, which are often lumped together. The essential focus is to distinguish whether something is a fleeting, short-lived experience, or an enduring, permanent state. He shares from his wealth of experience about his own awakening process. He names various pitfalls that spiritual seekers repeatedly fall into on their quest. 'All practice is directed into the future, but Enlightenment is NOW!' Why are there so few truly awakened people? It is true that the awareness of suffering has always been the great driving force behind the search for realisation. It is also true that since the beginning of the great religions there have only been a handful of enlightened people. The so-called New Age movement and its various forms of expression are also scrutinised. It shows that most people are simply interested in feeling good and having intense, mystical, angelic experiences of happiness. The catch is that these experiences are not permanent. And, unsurprisingly, they have nothing to do with true bliss. Light is also shed on the guru. Who actually is the guru? In what form can he manifest himself? And how do I recognise a true teacher from a false one? Om C.

Title: The Prince Author: Niccolo Machiavelli Narrator: Douglass Scott Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 58 minutes Release date: December 12, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but 'long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings'. Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. Niccolò Machiavelli, belongs to such prominent Florentines as Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli Niccolo Machiavelli Tue, 12 Dec 2023 01:27:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/735804 thebookvoice.com 2:58:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/735804]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Enneads: Volume 1 (1-3) Author: Plotinus Narrator: Peter Wickham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 19 minutes Release date: May 16, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Plotinus (204/5 -270 CE), born in Lycopolis, Egypt, when it was part of the Roman Empire, was a major figure in the philosophical school later called Neoplatonism. Neoplatonists viewed reality as deriving from a single force or figure expressed as 'the One'. Two further concepts from Plotinus, 'the Intellect' and 'the Soul', are also principal features of his philosophy. These proposals led to the work of Plotinus forming a bridge between Plato and the monotheistic religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam as well as Gnosticism. Yet Plotinus, who spoke Greek, did not actually leave a written legacy of his ideas. His work was written down and compiled by a pupil, Porphyry of Tyre (c234-c305 CE). Porphyry presented Plotinus' work in six 'Enneads', each containing nine 'Tractates' - (ennea = 'nine' in Greek), amounting to 54 treatises in all. They were originally arranged into three volumes, but in this Ukemi recording they are divided into two equal parts. The first three Enneads contained in this recording are prefaced by the fascinating biography written by Porphyry, who describes Plotinus as a highly singular figure - he declined to sit for a painter or sculptor, he wouldn't eat meat from animals reared for the table, and he 'caught philosophy at the age of 20'. The First Tractate of the First Ennead opens with 'The Animate and the Man'; subjects of other tractates include 'On Virtue', 'On True Happiness', and 'On the Primal Good and Secondary Forms of Good'. The Second Ennead opens with 'On the Cosmos or the Heavenly System' and continues with 'The Heavenly Circuit' and 'Are the Stars Causes?' The Third Ennead opens with 'Fate' and continues with two essays: 'On Providence' and then 'Our Tutelary Spirit'. Peter Wickham, in this first audiobook recording of the Enneads, presents Plotinus in a clear and steady manner.

Title: The Courtier and the Heretic: Leibniz, Spinoza, and the Fate of God in the Modern World Author: Matthew Stewart Narrator: Graham Rowat Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 3 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Once upon a time, philosophy was a dangerous business—and for no one more so than for Baruch Spinoza, the seventeenth-century philosopher vilified by theologians and political authorities everywhere as 'the atheist Jew.' As his inflammatory manuscripts circulated underground, Spinoza lived a humble existence in The Hague, grinding optical lenses to make ends meet. Meanwhile, in the glittering salons of Paris, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was climbing the ladder of courtly success. In between trips to the opera and groundbreaking work in mathematics, philosophy, and jurisprudence, he took every opportunity to denounce Spinoza, relishing his self-appointed role as 'God's attorney.' In this exquisitely written philosophical romance of attraction and repulsion, greed and virtue, religion and heresy, Matthew Stewart gives narrative form to an epic contest of ideas that shook the seventeenth century—and continues today.

This should not give us incentive to sin more, but reveals the extent of God's love and compassion to help us remove all trace of sin from our lives. Sin is heavy, it is unjust, in the moment of participation it seems right, but it is deceitfully wrong and burdensome.

'El Contrato Social' ha dejado un impacto perdurable en la teoría política y ha influido en el desarrollo de sistemas democráticos en todo el mundo. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734223 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734223]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Four-Way Path: A Guide to Purushartha and India's Spiritual Traditions for a Life of Happiness, Success, and Purpose Author: Héctor García, Francesc Miralles Narrator: Danish Farooqui Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 27, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: An inspiring guide to achieving happiness through purushartha (pronounced poo-roo-shar-tuh), or the four ultimate goals of human life, by the bestselling authors of Ikigai and The Book of Ichigo Ichie In our complex modern world, it can be easy to doubt we’re living the life we’re meant to be living. But the authors of the global bestseller Ikigai, about the Japanese concept that has helped millions of people discover their reason for being, are now on a mission to show how the ancient Hindu concept of purushartha provides a powerful framework for charting a path toward a life of purpose and fulfillment . Having spent a great deal of time in India, the authors were inspired to write a book honoring the culture they came to appreciate. In The Four-Way Path, they draw on practices from India’s numerous spiritual traditions to show how to foster happiness and achievement by cultivating the four components of purushartha: - your kama, or what you love doing - your dharma, or what the world needs from you - your artha, or what you need to sustain your life - your moksha, or your truest, most actualized self If you already know what your purpose in life is, then this book provides a blueprint for living in accordance with your purushartha. If you don’t yet know, then it will give you the tools to start the adventure of understanding yourself better, and to bring inspiration, beauty, peace, and purpose to your daily life.

Title: [Italian] - Io E Dio Author: Corrado Malanga Narrator: Gabriele Donolato Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 19 minutes Release date: November 27, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Sin dalla notte dei tempi scienza e religione dibattono nel tentativo di risolvere i grandi quesiti dell’umanità – Dio esiste o no? E se esiste, com’è fatto? – ciascuna secondo il suo approccio e la sua visione dell’esistenza, ma accomunate dalla dogmatica convinzione di riuscire a trovare la risposta all’esterno dell’essere umano. Superando le credenze e le rigidità dei due schieramenti, e mettendone impietosamente a nudo le parti più scricchiolanti, Malanga affronta il tema dell’esistenza di Dio alla luce dei suoi studi sulla Coscienza Integrata, accompagnando il lettore a un radicale cambio di prospettiva: la ricerca in merito all’esistenza di Dio deve spostarsi dall’esterno all’interno di ciascuno di noi, ove Io e Dio si specchia e coincide con Io ed Io. Un pamphlet che racchiude riflessioni di ampio respiro e grande lucidità, in grado di scuotere le fondamenta di verità precostituite e ormai ritenute incontrovertibili, non appena scienza e religione vengono seriamente messe a confronto con la visione coscienziale dell’universo, aprendo così la strada a una nuova e profonda consapevolezza.

Title: Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America Author: Charles Gasparino Narrator: Charles Gasparino Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 1 minute Release date: August 6, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A New York Times bestselling author and veteran Fox Business financial journalist’s explosive deep-dive into the progressive madness that has infected and corrupted the world’s biggest corporations, threatening the stability of the global economy—and life as we know it.   How did a bunch of rich dudes who run corporate America become the tools of left-wing radicals? Intimidated by activists on the left, virtually every major corporation in America has embraced woke politics. For years, these businesses could get away with progressive virtual signaling without worrying about alienating customers. Then the anti-woke counter-offensive movement arrived. As high-profile, disastrous backlashes at companies like Anheuser-Busch, Disney, Target and other companies reveal, companies who cave to the demands of left-wing social justice activists are being punished like never before. Customers are fighting back and taking their money elsewhere.   In Go Woke, Go Broke, New York Times bestselling author and veteran financial journalist Charles Gasparino calls out the nonsense and takes readers inside the radicalization of corporate America, based on numerous insider interviews and exclusive reporting.  The story is wilder than you can imagine. Gasparino introduces readers to America’s most woke corporate leaders, tracing the origins of ESG and "stakeholder investing.” He takes readers along on for a rollicking ride through corporate America as he shines a light, unlike anyone else, on Fortune 500 companies that have suffered for caving to the silly and irresponsible demands of social justice activists and left-wing interests.   A respected financial reporter who has covered finance for more than 30 years, Gasparino is deeply sourced and has dug into countless episodes involving Wall Street greed, corporate hubris, and government overreach in enterprise. This explosive, untold story and in-depth examination of the seminal players, institutions, and forces of the markets shows that, for the sake of global stability, we must immediately pry the clenched fists of radical activists off the levers of the economy.

Title: Like Love: Essays and Conversations Author: Maggie Nelson Narrator: Senn Annis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 0 minutes Release date: May 23, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Like Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelson's brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelson's passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide - from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Matthew Barney to Lhasa de Sela to Kara Walker - but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion, transgression and perversity; the roles of the critic and language in relation to visual and performance arts; forces that feed or impede certain bodies and creators; and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making. Arranged chronologically, Like Love shows the writing, thinking, feeling, reading, looking and conversing that occupied Nelson while writing iconic books such as Bluets and The Argonauts. As such, it is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelson's own development and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists. ©2024 Maggie Nelson (P)2024 Penguin Audio Maggie Nelson Thu, 23 May 2024 01:27:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733688 thebookvoice.com 12:0:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733688]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Politeia: oder der Staat Buch I-III Series: #15 of Platon - Sämtliche Dialoge Author: Platon Narrator: Volker Braumann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 37 minutes Release date: December 1, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: POLITEIA (Teil 15 der sämtlichen Dialoge) Die Politeia gilt zu Recht als das Hauptwerk Platons, bringt er doch darin die verschiedenen Themen und Ergebnisse seines bisherigen Philosophierens nun zu einer großen Einheit. Dabei fasst Platon nicht weniger als den Entwurf eines idealen Staates ins Auge. Die den gesamten Dialog in Bewegung haltende Frage lautet dabei: Was ist Gerechtigkeit? Während die sophistische These behauptet, dass das Gerechte das dem Stärkeren Nützliche sei, setzt Platon dem die Idee eines sittlichen Staates als einheitliches Ganzes entgegen, in dem die Herrschaft von der vernunftsgeleiteten Erkenntnis ausgeht und diese denn auch den Zusammenhalt des Staates garantiert. In keinem anderen seiner Werke entfaltet Platon so umfangreich die Grundzüge seiner Ideen- und Erkenntnislehre und deren metaphysische Voraussetzung: Der Idee des Guten; und so bietet sich die 'Politeia' als hervorragender Einstieg in die Philosophie Platons an. Dieses Hörbuch umfasst die komplette Lesung der ersten drei Bücher des insgesamt aus zehn Büchern bestehenden Werkes. Zusätzlich dazu findet sich als Begleitmaterial ein Aufsatz des namhaften klassischen Philologen Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff über den griechischen und platonischen Staatsentwurf. Das Hörbuch ist der 15. Teil der Hörbuchreihe 'Platon - Sämtliche Dialoge', komplett eingelesen von dem Hörbuchsprecher Volker Braumann in der Übersetzung von Otto Apelt.

Title: Creative Evolution Author: Henri Bergson Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 38 minutes Release date: December 14, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Henri Bergson's highly influential book, ‘Creative Evolution' (‘Evolution Creatrice', 1907) established a theory of evolution - called ‘Creative Evolution Theory' - which gained a considerable following in the first half of the 20th Century. It also helped the author to win the Nobel Prize in 1927 for his work investigating the origins of biological information and divergence in the evolutionary process. In this work, Bergson seeks an alternative explanation as to how new forms of life emerge compared to those prevailing at the time. This included both the ‘mechanistic' or deterministic explanations of biological science on the one hand, and on the other the ‘finalist' or strictly teleological explanation of those who believed in the hand of a ‘Creator' or God, coordinating life in a divine plan. Creative Evolution proposes a third explanation in what Bergson calls élan vital' or ‘vital impetus', a force that infuses all matter and drives it forward into an ever-changing and infinite variety of living forms. This appears as a vital impetus that can also be related to humanity's own creative life force. Bergson's book builds on his ‘Theory of Time' as set forth in works such as ‘Matter and Memory' and ‘Time and Free Will'. In these works, and in the present volume, Bergson sees continuous ‘duration' as real time, as opposed to the way in which time is divided up into measured units by the ‘organising' mind of science. Life, as we really experience it, is subject to constant change and our tendency to explain evolutionary change by looking only at ‘ends' achieved rather than the processes by which they emerge, divorces us from the life force itself. Instead, Bergson feels we need to reengage with our instincts as well as with our intelligence in order to understand the evolutionary process, as both co-exist to some extent within us, all forms of life having a common origin in that instinctual, innate knowledge of simpler life forms. Though these may be unconscious or semi-conscious, they are, in Bergson's view, much more in touch with the ever-changing nature of real time than the analytical and rational knowledge of our species As he writes: “Our thought, in its purely logical form, is incapable of presenting the true nature of life, the full meaning of the evolutionary movement. Created by life, in definite circumstances, to act on definite things, how can it embrace life, of which it is only an emanation or an aspect?” It is to attempt an answer to this question that ‘Creative Evolution' directs its attention.

Title: Animals, Robots, Gods: Adventures in the Moral Imagination Author: Webb Keane Narrator: Mark Arnold Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 44 minutes Release date: August 29, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. How do we live ethical lives alongside others? A fascinating, mind-expanding exploration of our moral universe We have always lived with ethically significant others, whether they are the pets we keep, the gods we believe in or the machines we are endowing with life. How should we treat them as our world changes? In Animals, Robots, Gods, acclaimed anthropologist Webb Keane provides a new vision of ethics, defined less by our minds, religion or society, and more by our interactions with those around us. Drawing on ground-breaking research by fieldworkers around the world, he explores the underpinnings of our moral universe. Along the way we investigate the ethical dilemmas of South Asian animal rights activists, Balinese cockfighters, Japanese robot fanciers -- even macho cowboys. We meet a hunter in the Yukon who explains his prey generously gives itself up to him; a cancer sufferer in Thailand who sees his tumour as a reincarnated ox; a computer that gets you to confess your anxieties as if you were on the psychiatrist's couch. With charm, wit and insight, Keane offers us a better understanding of our doubts and certainties, showing how centuries of conversations between us and non-humans inform our conceptions of morality, and will continue to guide us in the age of AI and beyond. © Webb Keane 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024 Webb Keane Thu, 29 Aug 2024 01:27:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/732077 thebookvoice.com 5:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/732077]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Handbüchlein der Moral - Ein zeitloser Leitfaden zur stoischen Philosophie (Ungekürzt) Author: Epiktet Narrator: Alexander Bolte Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 57 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Entdecken Sie die Weisheiten des bedeutendsten stoischen Philosophen Epiktet in der neuen Hörbuchversion des legendären 'Handbüchlein der Moral'. In der heutigen Welt voller ständiger Herausforderungen ist die Philosophie des Stoizismus gefragter denn je. Der Stoizismus entstand in Zeiten des Umbruchs und bietet daher eine Fülle von einfühlsamen und praktischen Ratschlägen, wie man mit Schicksalsschlägen ausgeglichener und gelassener umgehen kann. Epiktet, der als Sklave zur Welt kam, wurde in seiner einzigartigen Laufbahn einer der einflussreichsten Protagonisten der antiken Stoa. In seiner Lehre begründete er, dass es in der Hand des Menschen liegt, sich durch sein eigenes Denken und Begehren glücklich zu machen. 'Handbüchlein der Moral' war bereits in der Antike bekannt, und im Mittelalter wurde es speziell für den Gebrauch in griechischsprachigen Klöstern angepasst. Im 15. Jahrhundert wurde es ins Lateinische und später, mit dem Aufkommen des Buchdrucks, in zahlreiche europäische Sprachen übersetzt. Trotz seines Alters hat das 'Handbüchlein der Moral' bis heute wertvolle Antworten auf die wichtigsten Fragen im Leben. Im 'Handbüchlein der Moral' erfahren Sie: - Welche Dinge im Leben man selbst beeinflussen kann, und welche außerhalb der Macht des Einzelnen stehen; - Wie man persönliches Glück erreichen kann; - Warum man sich nicht von äußeren Dingen und anderen Menschen abhängig machen sollte; - Welche Rolle Tugenden und Pflichten im Leben spielen; - Wie man das Beste aus den Umständen machen kann, die wir im Leben vorfinden. 'Handbüchlein der Moral' wird Ihnen helfen, sich als Mensch weiterzuentwickeln, die Welt um sich herum zu verstehen und ein erfülltes, bewusstes Leben zu führen. Epiktet war einer der bedeutendsten Repräsentanten der späten Epoche des Stoizismus. Geboren in der Sklaverei zwischen 50 und 60 nach Christus im phrygischen Hierapolis, einer Provinz des Römischen Reiches, folgte Epiktet seinem Meister nach Rom, wo er sich mit der damals stark in Mode befindlichen stoischen Philosophie vertraut machte. Nachdem er seine Freiheit erlangte, ließ er sich in Epirus nieder, wo er später seine eigene Schule eröffnete.

Title: [Russian] - О назначении человека Author: николай бердяев Narrator: станислав федосов Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 34 minutes Release date: November 24, 2023 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Николай Бердяев [1874 – 1948] – виднейший представитель русской религиозной философии XX столетия. В работе «О назначении человека» Н. А. Бердяев выступает как представитель школы религиозного экзистенциализма, противопоставляя свободу духа объективной необходимости. Труд философа посвящен проблемам этического познания, проблемам свободы, личности и творчества, проблемам добра и зла. Бердяев различает три ступени этической эволюции: этику закона, этику искупления и этику творчества. Именно этика творчества, основанная на защите, переосмыслении и обновлении принципа свободной личности, является высшей и наиболее зрелой формой нравственного сознания. «В центре моей мысли всегда стояли проблемы свободы, личности, творчества, проблемы зла и теодицеи, то есть, в сущности, одна проблема – проблема человека, его назначения, оправдания его творчества».

Title: History for Tomorrow: Inspiration from the Past for the Future of Humanity Author: Roman Krznaric Narrator: Roman Krznaric Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 30 minutes Release date: July 4, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. What can humankind’s rich history of radical revolts teach us about the power of disobedience to tackle the climate crisis? What inspiration could we take from eighteenth century Japan to create a regenerative economy today? How might understanding the origins of capitalism spark ideas for bringing AI under control? In History for Tomorrow, leading social philosopher Roman Krznaric unearths fascinating insights and inspiration from the last 1000 years of world history that could help us confront the most urgent challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century. From bridging the inequality gap and reducing the risks of genetic engineering, to reviving our faith in democracy and avoiding ecological collapse, History for Tomorrow shows that history is not simply a means of understanding the past but a way of reimagining our relationship with the future. Krznaric reveals how, time and again, societies have risen up, often against the odds, to tackle challenges and overcome crises. History offers a vision of radical hope that could turn out to be our most vital tool for surviving and thriving in the turbulent decades ahead. 'Brimming with ideas and insights, this is a welcome, important and clear-eyed view of how understanding the past can help us better prepare for the future' - Peter Frankopan, bestselling author of The Earth Transformed and The Silk Roads 'Enlightening and thrilling.

Title: Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous Author: George Berkeley Narrator: Peter Kenny, Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 46 minutes Release date: October 12, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous was the final statement by the empiricist philosopher George Berkeley, Bishop of Coyne, (1685-1753) on his views concerning subjective idealism, couched in the famous statement ‘esse is percipi' - to be is to be perceived (mixing Latin with a bit of English was Berkeley's idiosyncrasy!). In his first book on the subject, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, Berkeley proposed that the physical world exists only in the experiences minds have of it. It was published in 1710, but encountered robust criticism. In answer to this, Berkeley re-wrote the work in the form of three dialogues, casting himself as Philonous (derived from the Greek ‘lover of the mind') in debate with Hylas (derived from the Greek for ‘matter'). Set against a world view formed by Newtonian science and philosophers such as John Locke, Berkeley's was a distinctive attitude: he did not deny that a table existed, but the key concept of it was based on the perceiver's perspective and experience of it in the mind. In Three Dialogues (set in a ‘Platonic' garden), Hylas begins by challenging Philonous that he denied the existence of material substance. ‘What!' says Hylas. ‘Can anything be more fantastical, more repugnant to Common Sense, or a more manifest piece of Scepticism, than to believe there is no such thing as matter?' And Berkeley in the guise of Philonous replies: ‘Softly, good Hylas. What if it should prove that you, who hold there is, are, by virtue of that opinion, a greater sceptic, and maintain more paradoxes and repugnances to common Sense, than I who believe no such thing.' And the scene is set for the debate. Philonous emphasises (and persuades Hylas) that it is the mind's interpretation of what is perceived by the senses that really matters. However, Berkeley still argues for the traditional view of the Christian God as a creator - and, significantly, some eight years after the publication of Three Dialogues, took Holy Orders, and eventually became Bishop of Coyne. Presented here in dialogue form, Berkeley's most influential work proves an entertaining and stimulating work of philosophy as the two characters come to life in the spirited reading by Jonathan Keeble and Peter Kenny.

Title: On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason Author: Arthur Schopenhauer Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 45 minutes Release date: November 2, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: There is a cause, or a reason, behind everything that happens. This is the fundamental view behind the classical proposition the Principle of Sufficient Reason, which, in 1813, Schopenhauer chose as his subject for further examination in his doctoral dissertation On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason. He was 25. In later years Schopenhauer revised this dissertation and republished it in 1847. The original ideas expressed here formed the basis of much of his later works, and therefore it remains an important core text for Schopenhauer studies. He discusses commentaries on the principle by earlier philosophers including Descartes, Spinoza, Wolff and Kant before going on to propose his four ‘classes of objects' which he feels offer greater clarity and depth of meaning. The four classes of objects are each governed by their own form of the Principle: the Principle of Sufficient Reason of Becoming, the Principle of Sufficient Reason of Knowing, the Principle of Sufficient Reason of Being and the Principle of Sufficient Reason of Willing. This recording of On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason uses the clear, classic translation by Madame Karl Hillebrand (1903). Leighton Pugh presents it with the same clarity and commitment he has brought to his recording of all three volumes of The World as Will and Idea (Ukemi Audiobooks).

Title: The Reveries of the Solitary Walker Author: Jean-Jacques Rousseau Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 39 minutes Release date: September 23, 2022 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Reveries of the Solitary Walker was one of the last works written by the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) and was, in fact, not quite complete. It was published four years after his death and came quickly to be regarded as one of his most poetic works. It consists of 10 Walks (only the final ‘Walk' was unfinished) during which he muses on a variety of topics including thoughts on issues which featured strongly in his notable life as a philosopher and commentator, including education and political philosophy. However, interwoven into the reflective narrative are personal observations and memories—some painful, concerning times when he felt attacked and severely criticised for his writings. There are also comments on nature particularly the plants he encounters which, placing the writer in the countryside, balances the darker inner musings. This puts the tone beyond nostalgia, and if there is undoubtedly a feeling of resignation, the essays emanate a sense of end-of-life understanding and acceptance. The First Walk sets the scene: “BEHOLD me then as if alone upon the earth, having neither brother, relative, friend or society but my own thoughts; the most social and affectionate of men proscribed as it were by unanimous consent. They have sought in the refinement of their hatred what would be the most cruel torment to my susceptible soul and have rent asunder every bond which attached me to them. I should have loved mankind in spite of themselves and it was only by throwing off humanity that they could avoid my affection. At length, then, behold them strangers, unknown, as indifferent to me as they desired to be; but thus detached from mankind, and everything that relates to them, what am I? This remains to be sought. Unhappily the search must be preceded by casting a glance on my own situation, since I must necessarily pass through this examination, in order to judge between them and myself.” Matthew Lloyd Davies reads the first translation into English which appeared in 1796, less than 20 years after Rousseau's death.

Unhappily the search must be preceded by casting a glance on my own situation, since I must necessarily pass through this examination, in order to judge between them and myself.” Matthew Lloyd Davies reads the first translation into English which appeared in 1796, less than 20 years after Rousseau's death. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731476 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731476]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Critique of Practical Reason Author: Immanuel Kant Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 28, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Critique of Practical Reason was published in 1788, seven years after Immanuel Kant's major work, Critique of Pure Reason. In it, Kant sets out his moral philosophy - and it proved a seminal text in the history of the subject. He argues that the summum bonum (the highest good) of life is that rather than just pursuing happiness, people should inhabit a moral dimension that enables them to deserve the happiness that God can give. Though much shorter than Critique of Pure Reason, this is the sourcebook for Kant's ethical doctrines. It is divided into five sections: Preface, Introduction, First Part: Elements of Pure Practical Reason, Second Part: Methodology of Pure Practical Reason, Conclusion. The translation is by Thomas Kingsmill Abbott.

Title: What Is Metaphysics, What Is Philosophy and Other Writings Author: Martin Heidegger Narrator: Martyn Swain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 24 minutes Release date: March 3, 2022 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This recording contains four important and related works by Heidegger: 'What Is Philosophy', 'What Is Metaphysics', 'On the Essence of Truth' and 'The Question of Being'. It starts with 'What Is Philosophy', which originated as a lecture given in Normandy in 1955, and was first published a year later. The translators acknowledge that 'What Is Metaphysics' is often regarded as a particularly key work, they feel that 'a better preliminary understanding' of Heidegger can be obtained from 'What is Philosophy'. They write: Heidegger 'is concerned with the fact that philosophy has lost its receptivity to the Being of being/entity. In other words, philosophy no longer seeks the groundless ground of Being which allows us to ask meaningful questions about being/entity, or its appearances. Heidegger uses Being as the ‘inner light', that illumination through which we become conscious of our meaning or of our existence and of existence itself. The light allows us to know that we are 'beings'. The second work on this recording, then, is the more famous essay 'What Is Metaphysics', published in 1929, to which some 14 years later he added a 'Postscript'. Both texts are presented here. Heidegger states that rather than enter into a discussion about metaphysics, he sets out to ‘discuss a definite metaphysical question.... Our project begins with the presentation of a metaphysical question, then goes on to its development and ends with its answer'. In 'On the Essence of Truth', (1930) Heidegger explains: 'The question as to the nature of truth is not concerned with whether truth is the truth of practical experience or of economic calculation...or the truth of scientific research or art...or religious belief...but what is ‘the mark of 'truth' of every kind.' The final essay on this recording is 'The Question of Being' (1955). Its original title, (in a literal translation from German), was 'Concerning the Line', and was included in a publication honouring the 60th birthday of the philosopher Ernst Jünger. Heidegger wrote it in the form of a letter in response to an earlier treatise Jünger dedicated to Heidegger called 'Across the Line'. Heidegger questions Jünger's notion of ‘zero line', of nihilism: the essence of nihilism stems from a discussion of Being as being/entity. Translations by Jean T. Wilde and William Kluback ('What Is Philosophy' and 'The Question of Being') and R. F. C. Hull ('What Is Metaphysics' and 'On the Essence of Truth').

Title: Epicurus of Samos: His Philosophy and Life: All the Principal Source Texts Author: The Brothers Grimm Narrator: Jonathan Booth, James Gillies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 20 minutes Release date: May 14, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Epicurus of Samos (341-270 BCE) was the founder of the philosophical system to which he gave his name: Epicureanism. It is a label that is often misused and misunderstood today, with ‘a life of pleasure' as the key aim misinterpreted as a life of indulgence. In fact, the philosophy of Epicurus demonstrated also by his life, was anything but! He established a school in Athens called The Garden, underpinned by his system of ethics. He promoted, by his own example, a simple, ordered, calm and reflective life. A life of true pleasure, he proposed, is only possible when unharnessed desire for wealth, position, luxury and power has been dissolved and instead steady living and friendship are the watchwords. It is against this background that the understanding and acceptance of the vicissitudes of life, and the inevitability of death, are the rules by which to live. This was in contrast to Platonism on the one hand and the Cynics on the other. The second major facet of Epicurus' philosophy was his physics, in which he adopted and furthered the theory of atomism introduced by Democritus (460-370 BCE): there was no ‘first mover', no creation myth, no afterlife. Atoms underpinned all existence. Epicurus was a prodigious author, producing many books - yet very few survive. Diogenes Laertius, the third-century Greek biographer, in his sizeable Lives of Eminent Philosophers, devotes Book X, the final book, to Epicurus. In it he gives an account of the life of the philosopher and including three letters from Epicurus to friends, to Herodotus, Pythocles and Menoeceus. The biography concludes with the concise The Principal Doctrines of Epicurus. Then there are various fragments which have come down to us: The Vatican Sayings (a collection found in the Vatican Library, originally compiled in the 14th century and rediscovered in the 19th century); Epicurean Fragments collected in the 19th century from many classical authors; further fragments included in the collection The Villa of the Papyri; and Diogenes' Wall Inscription. There are also important works clearly influenced by Epicurus, notably the long important poem De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things) by Lucretius (c99 BCE-c55 BCE). And finally, there is a chapter on The Legacy. This represents comments by such figures as Cicero (who though principally a Stoic clearly retained an admiration for Epicurus) and later Epicureans, including Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the US. In Epicurus of Samos, His Life and Philosophy, Hiram Crespo, (founder of the Society of Epicurus) has compiled all the source texts and provided introductions to the topic and each chapter.

Title: Offences Against Oneself and An Open Letter Author: Jeremy Bentham, Károly Mária Kertbeny Narrator: Andrew Cullum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 1 minute Release date: June 10, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The criminalisation of homosexuality over centuries has been one of the shocking injustices of European history - it existed from the middle ages and before and well into the 20th century. The death penalty (hanging or burning) was a commonplace feature in legal systems. These two remarkable texts - one from England in the 18th century and one from Germany in the 19th century - show how there was a growing awareness of the prejudice and the cruelty of its effect. Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), the prominent English writer, philosopher and jurist, wrote Offences Against Oneself in 1785. In characteristically measured and clear tones, he argued against the death penalty for sodomy and queried what was actually wrong with homosexuality in terms of the individual and society. Sadly, the public opposition, rooted in religion and public morals, cautioned him against publication, and it remained among his private papers at his death, not to emerge for decades afterwards. Karóly Mária Kertbeny (1824-1882) was an Austro-Hungarian journalist and writer who lived in Berlin. The suicide of a friend of his, crushed by his preference for men, prompted Kertbeny to campaign on behalf of anti-homosexual legislation in Europe. It was Kertbeny who first coined the words ‘homosexual' and ‘heterosexual', which were later adopted by Kraft-Ebbing and others. In 1869 he published (anonymously) a pamphlet, An Open Letter addressed to the Royal Prussian Minister of Justice arguing that the Prussian sodomy law violated ‘the rights of man' and should not be part of the proposed Penal Code for the North German Confederation. His closely written text demonstrates, very clearly, the hypocrisy and harm caused by the criminalisation of homosexuality for both men and women. He was ignored. The anti-homosexual legislation was adopted and, in 1871, incorporated into the legal system of the new Germany. Both these documents are fascinating listening, illustrating the prevailing prejudice of society in the face of known, widespread activity and how the prejudice continued, despite the efforts of individuals who could see and demonstrate the illogicality and the hysteria surrounding the subject. It is interesting to note that, in Europe, punishment for homosexual activity was first abolished in France in 1791 after the Revolution, but legal restraints continued to exist in England until 1967 and in Germany in 1968 (East) and 1969 (West).

Title: The Elements of Theology Author: Proclus Narrator: Peter Wickham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 21 minutes Release date: September 18, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Proclus - or Proclus of Athens, as he is sometimes known - is widely and rightly considered to be one of the most significant later Neoplatonist philosophers. At age 40 (c.437 CE) or so, Proclus became head of the revived Plato's Academy in Athens. In his role for the next 50 years, the unmarried Proclus worked hard, combining effectively the roles of administrator, teacher and writer. Astronomy, ethics, mathematics, physics, theology - Proclus tackled all of those topics that together fell under the umbrella of philosophy in his time. The Elements of Theology was his most important work. Elements contains 211 separate propositions. Each proposition, or theorem, is followed by a brief description, or explanation, of the proposition. And each successive proposition builds on those that had come before. Propositions 1 through 112 lay out various Neoplatonic antitheses: 'one' and 'many'; 'cause' and 'effect'; the 'moved' and the 'unmoved'; the 'perpetual' and the 'dated existence in a part of time'; 'wholes and parts'; 'active' and 'passive'; 'finite' and 'infinite'; etc. Propositions 113 through 211 work within and between those now-established antitheses showing the relations between 'divine henads, or gods', 'intelligences' and 'souls.' Translation: Thomas Taylor. This recording opens with a helpful introduction to the life and work of Proclus by Mark G. Spencer.

Title: The Elements of Theology Author: Proclus Narrator: Peter Wickham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 21 minutes Release date: September 18, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Proclus - or Proclus of Athens, as he is sometimes known - is widely and rightly considered to be one of the most significant later Neoplatonist philosophers. At age 40 (c.437 CE) or so, Proclus became head of the revived Plato's Academy in Athens. In his role for the next 50 years, the unmarried Proclus worked hard, combining effectively the roles of administrator, teacher and writer. Astronomy, ethics, mathematics, physics, theology - Proclus tackled all of those topics that together fell under the umbrella of philosophy in his time. The Elements of Theology was his most important work. Elements contains 211 separate propositions. Each proposition, or theorem, is followed by a brief description, or explanation, of the proposition. And each successive proposition builds on those that had come before.

Title: Language, Truth and Logic Author: A.J. Ayer Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 43 minutes Release date: October 27, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The front cover of the second edition of Language, Truth and Logic carried this statement in capital letters: ‘THE CLASSIC TEXT WHICH FOUNDED LOGICAL POSITIVISM - AND MODERN BRITISH PHILOSOPHY.' It was a bold statement, but the book, first published in 1936 when A. J. Ayer was just 25 and a lecturer on philosophy at Christ Church, Oxford, drew unstinting praise from leading figures in the field, including Bertrand Russell. Its effect was to ‘sweep away the cobwebs and revitalise British philosophy and it continued to make an international impact on 20th century thought'. The outline on the back of the first edition laid out the ground. ‘This book will appeal not merely to philosophical specialists but to all those who are in any way concerned about the nature and scope of human knowledge. The author deserves the gratitude of all students of philosophy for his clear and definitive exposition of the purpose and method of a philosophical enquiry. Relying on the principle that a statement of fact, to be genuine, must be empirically verifiable, he demonstrates the impossibility of any system of speculative philosophy which attempts to transcend the field of natural science and shows that if philosophy is to make good its claim to be a genuine branch of knowledge, it must confine itself to works of clarification and analysis. And he describes how the philosopher, by the provision of definitions and the examination of their consequences, perfects our understanding of the propositions that are expressed in the language of science and in that of everyday life. In this way the author succeeds in bridging the gap between philosophy and science which was one of the most unfortunate legacies of the 19th century. He shows that philosophy and science, so far from being competing brands of knowledge, are complementary to one another. The philosopher finds in the theories of the scientist the richest material for his analyses; the scientist looks to the philosopher to dispel the confusions which result from the use of unanalysed concepts, and to formulate definitions which will lead to the development of new and fruitful theories. In addition, the author succeeds in settling the old controversy between science and religion, by proving that there cannot be any logical ground of enmity between them. For the statements of the theist, in so far as they involve the assertion of the existence of a transcendent God, are found to be devoid of literal significance, since they are not empirically verifiable. They are expressions of feeling, and not statements of fact; and, consequently, they cannot possibly come into contradiction with any scientific hypothesis. And the book deals no less conclusively with the question of personal survival. It is shown that the empirical self cannot possibly survive since its self-identity must be defined in terms of the self-identity of the body; and that the assumption of the existence of a metaphysical soul as distinct from the empirical self is not a genuine hypothesis. Particular interest will be aroused by the author's treatment of the propositions of logic and mathematics, which he regards as tautologies, by his method of dealing with the question 'What is truth?' and above all by his attempt to provide a definitive solution of all the most important problems which have given rise to disputes among philosophers in the past.

Title: Twilight of the Idols, On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense: How to Philosophise with a Hammer Author: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 22 minutes Release date: June 30, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Though Twilight of the Idols (written in a week in 1888 and subtitled How to Philosophise with a Hammer) came near the end of Nietzsche's creative life, he actually recommended it as a starting point for the study of his work. This was because from the beginning he viewed it as an introduction to his wide-ranging views. After an opening chapter of aphorisms - ‘Maxims and Arrows' – he takes a challenging look at ‘The Problem of Socrates', continues to buck the trend with ‘Morality as Anti-Nature', and ‘The Four Great Errors' (starting with ‘The Error of Confusing Cause and Effect'). He makes a scathing attack on conventional morality in ‘The Improvers of Mankind' and finishes with a critical look at his own nation in ‘What Germans Lack'. He roams freely over icons of European culture, dispensing judgment without favour on writers, philosophers, composers and the like in a lively and characteristically Nietzschean torrent: Caryle, Emerson, Rousseau, George Eliot, Dante, Sainte Beuve, The Imitation of Christ, psychology, all fall under his pen; while he gives time to those he continues to admire, such as Schopenhauer, ‘the last German worthy of consideration', and Dostoyevsky, ‘the only psychologist from whom I had something to learn'. He also looks back to where he began in ‘What I Owe to the Ancients'. Vigorous and intensely human, Twilight of the Idols (a nod to Wagner's Götterdämmerung) is certainly instructive, argumentative and good fun! The shorter essay ‘On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense' comes from an earlier stage in Nietzsche's career (1873), though it was not published until two decades later. It has significantly influenced postmodernists of the 20th century. Twilight of the Idols is translated by Thomas Cannon. ‘On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense' is translated by W. A. Haussman.

Title: On the Ends of Good and Evil Author: Marcus Tulius Cicero Narrator: Derek Le Page Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 8 minutes Release date: December 19, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Towards the end of his life and his career as one of the leading politicians and orators in Rome, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BCE-43 BCE) was exiled to his country house. It was a time of political turmoil in the capital of the empire, caused by the power-grab of Julius Caesar. In the quiet of the countryside, Cicero began to write on philosophy. In On the Ends of Good and Evil, he set out to consider three major traditions of Greek philosophy - Epicureanism, Stoicism and a branch of Platonism proposed by Antiochus of Ascalon (promoting 'the happy life'). Using a form of the dialectical approach established by Plato in his Socratic Dialogues, Cicero introduces characters who propose each tradition, and then Cicero himself responds with a critical appraisal - a stimulating and engaging pattern. De finibus bonorum et malorum (meaning also the 'final or ultimate aim' of good and evil) is a fascinating document. And, as suiting a man of the world (which Cicero clearly was), he comes to a preferred conclusion after surveying the three traditions. Interestingly, the work opens with an introductory passage in which Cicero explains why he is writing a work such as this, giving an intriguing insight into his time. In Rome, he explains, the study of Greek philosophy was the preserve of Romans who read Greek, and translations of the originals into Latin were frowned upon by scholars. Cicero felt this lofty attitude should not be the case. The wisdom of the past should be open to everyone, he argues, and he proceeds to summarise the Greek philosophic traditions and offer critiques for the benefit of his fellow Roman citizens.

Title: Matter and Memory Author: Henri Bergson Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 13 minutes Release date: February 17, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Matter and Memory, (Matière et Mémoire), published in 1896, was the second book written by Henri Bergson (1859-1941), one of the leading French philosophers of his age. It followed Time and Free Will (1889) and helped to establish him as a major force in anti-mechanistic thought, opposing the trend towards uncompromisingly secular and scientific views. However, when Matter and Memory appeared, Bergson was 39 and had yet to become the hugely influential figure he became in the first decades of the 20th century. The first edition carried the subtitle An Essay on the Relationship of Body to Spirit and although this was dropped by the author when revising the text in later editions, it remains a useful introductory statement. For in Matter and Memory, Bergson set out to consider the classic problem of the union of ‘soul and body' by the analysis of memory. He sought to refute the proposition, then very current, that memory, being ‘lodged' in the nervous system, localised in the brain, was therefore material. Bergson rejected this reduction of mind to matter. He considered memory to be deeply spiritual. The first edition explained his approach thus: ‘The brain merely guides memory towards actions in the present. The brain inserts memories into the present, with a view to action. The brain has a practical function. The body is the centre of action. Cerebral lesions do not damage memories or the memory. Such lesions disrupt the practical operations of the brain. Memories cannot become incarnate. They always exist, but they are powerless. In fact, the brain no longer functions as intended, and consequently these memories cannot be used.' In his introduction to the fifth edition of Matter and Memory (1908), used in this recording, Bergson writes, ‘This book affirms the reality of spirit and the reality of matter, and tries to determine the relation of the one to the other by the study of a definite example, that of memory. It is, then, frankly dualistic. But, on the other hand, it deals with body and mind in such a way as, we hope, to lessen greatly, if not to overcome, the theoretical difficulties which have always beset dualism, and which cause it, though suggested by the immediate verdict of consciousness and adopted by common sense, to be held in small honour among philosophers.' Though the next generation of French philosophers such as Merleau-Ponty and Sartre acknowledged the influence of Bergson, his reputation declined after World War II. It was revived in the mid-1960s following the championing of his work by Gilles Deleuze. Bergson's place in 20th century philosophy, and the relevance of his views today, are secure.

Title: Matter and Memory Author: Henri Bergson Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 13 minutes Release date: February 17, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Matter and Memory, (Matière et Mémoire), published in 1896, was the second book written by Henri Bergson (1859-1941), one of the leading French philosophers of his age. It followed Time and Free Will (1889) and helped to establish him as a major force in anti-mechanistic thought, opposing the trend towards uncompromisingly secular and scientific views. However, when Matter and Memory appeared, Bergson was 39 and had yet to become the hugely influential figure he became in the first decades of the 20th century. The first edition carried the subtitle An Essay on the Relationship of Body to Spirit and although this was dropped by the author when revising the text in later editions, it remains a useful introductory statement. For in Matter and Memory, Bergson set out to consider the classic problem of the union of ‘soul and body' by the analysis of memory. He sought to refute the proposition, then very current, that memory, being ‘lodged' in the nervous system, localised in the brain, was therefore material. Bergson rejected this reduction of mind to matter. He considered memory to be deeply spiritual. The first edition explained his approach thus: ‘The brain merely guides memory towards actions in the present. The brain inserts memories into the present, with a view to action. The brain has a practical function. The body is the centre of action. Cerebral lesions do not damage memories or the memory. Such lesions disrupt the practical operations of the brain. Memories cannot become incarnate. They always exist, but they are powerless. In fact, the brain no longer functions as intended, and consequently these memories cannot be used.'

Title: On the Soul & Parva Naturalia Author: Aristotle Narrator: James Cameron Stewart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 55 minutes Release date: February 5, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Two contrasting reflections by Aristotle which cover very particular ground. In 'On the Soul', Aristotle presents his view of the 'life essence' which, he argues, is possessed by living things whether plants, animals or humans. Not a 'soul' in the generally accepted Western use of the term, this 'soul', he says, is a life force that is indivisible from the organism that possesses it. The essay is divided into three books. Presenting his concept in book I, he further describes the structure of the 'souls' of plants, animals and humans in book II and book III. In 'The Parva Naturalia' ('Little Physical Treatises'), Aristotle continues his investigation into the biology of life and the links between body and 'soul'. It consists of seven essays: 'Sense and Sensibilia', 'On Memory', 'On Sleep', 'On Dreams', 'On Divination in Sleep', 'On Length and Shortness of Life', 'On Youth', 'Old Age', 'Life and Death' and 'Respiration'. Translation by A. J. Smith. Translation by J I Beare and G R T Ross.

Title: Philosophy of Mind Author: Georg Wilhelm Hegel Narrator: Peter Wickham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: November 7, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Philosophy of Mind is the third and final part of the Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences, the collection in which Hegel (1730-1831) offered an overview of his life's work. Though originally written in 1817, he revised it in 1830, thus providing a finished form the year before his death. Hegel used the three parts of the Encyclopaedia - Science of Logic, Philosophy of Nature and Philosophy of Mind - as a basis for lectures at the Universities of Heidelberg which he joined in 1816, and in Berlin in 1820. Philosophy of Mind is itself divided into three parts. Section 1 is titled Mind Subjective - The Soul (with subsections Anthropology, Phenomenology of Mind, and Psychology); section 2 is titled Mind Objective (with subsections Law, The Morality of Consciousness and the Moral Life); and Section 3 Absolute Mind (Art, Revealed Religion, Philosophy). So Hegel follows the development of the human mind through the various layers of consciousness, then institutions and structures of society and finally through art, religion and philosophy. The classic translation by William Wallace is based on Hegel's final 1830 version.

Title: The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics: Essay on the Freedom of the Will, the Basis of Morality Author: Arthur Schopenhauer Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 14 minutes Release date: January 9, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The essays in The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics have a rather special place in Schopenhauer's work, both being written as entries to Scandinavian philosophy competitions, one in Norway and one in Sweden. 'Essay on the Freedom of the Will' was Schopenhauer's response to the question posed by the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences in 1839: ‘Is it possible to demonstrate human free will from self-consciousness?' In a clear and confident response, the 51-year-old philosopher, then living in Frankfurt, laid out his views, under headlines such as ‘What is Freedom', ‘The Will and the Self-Conscious', ‘The Will and the Consciousness of Other Things', ‘Predecessors', ‘Conclusion' and 'A Higher View'. The essay won. The following year, Schopenhauer produced a second work on ethics. The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences proposed the question: ‘Is the fountain and basis of Morals to be sought for in an idea of morality which lies directly in the consciousness (or conscience), and in the analysis of the other leading ethical conceptions which arise from it? Or is it to be found in some other source of knowledge?' In answer Schopenhauer presented ‘The Basis of Morality', arguing that morality stems from compassion, but it was denied the prize, though his was the only entry! Despite this unexpected result, Schopenhauer published both works in 1841 under the present title - with characteristic bombast declaring that one had won and the other had not! Together, these two works offer a compact and accessible account of Schopenhauer's approach to ethics. 'Essay on Freedom' is translated by Konstantin Kolenda. 'The Basis of Morality' is translated by Arthur Broderick Bullock.

Title: Early Greek Philosophy: The Pre-Socratics Author: John Burnet Narrator: Jonathan Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 50 minutes Release date: March 14, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In his introduction to Early Greek Philosophy, John Burnet points out the particular focus of the pre-Socratics on the ‘cosmological' character of their enquiries. They determined, he explains, to look into the natural world around them. The period can be said to mark the rise of scientific enquiry epitomised by the Atomists and the mathematicians of the Pythagorean School. It was this focus on natural phenomena that set the pattern for the activity that became known as philosophy. Only later, with Socrates and Plato, would the spotlight of enquiry concentrate on matters such as ethics and morality. The interests of the early philosophers were broader than the cosmological character might suggest and also considered spiritual, mythical and aesthetic elements Burnet's survey covers the fifth and sixth centuries BCE and the figures who emerged from an Ionian background. He follows his Introduction with 10 chapters, presenting the many figures who left their mark on this period. He opens with The Milesian School, highlighting Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes. Chapter two looks specifically at science and religion (Pythagoras features here); then come Heraclitus of Ephesus, Parmenides of Elea, Empedokles of Akragas, and on through the continuing developments of early Greek philosophical thinking. Original extant sources are, it must be said, rare - often they exist only in tiny fragments of a few words, or very short sentences. Perhaps the most famous of them is the remark by Heraclitus: ‘You cannot step twice into the same rivers; for fresh waters are ever flowing in upon you.' Burnet lists these fragments where they exist. However, our knowledge of these philosophers, and their views, is often more generally based on accounts and comments by later writers, including Plato and Aristotle, Theophrastus, Aetius, Diogenes Laertius, as well as a variety of Sceptics and Stoics, including Cicero. Burnet closes with a useful note on the sources - biographers, philosophers and doxographers. Although it was originally published in 1892 (this recording is based on the much-revised third edition of 1920), Early Greek Philosophy by John Burnet remains unquestionably one of the most respected and admired surveys of the pre-Socratics. It is an illuminating springboard into classical Greek philosophy.

Title: Politics Author: Aristotle Narrator: Andrew Cullum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: March 21, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The title Politics literally means ‘the things concerning the city'. Here, Aristotle considers the important role that politics plays in the life of the community and its contribution to harmonious and virtuous existence. It is divided into eight books and was a cornerstone in political philosophy for centuries despite certain features - including attitudes towards slaves and women - clearly placing its conclusions and advice within the confines of Athenian society of the fourth century BCE. Aristotle's fundamental view is that the individual needs the city more than the city needs the individual, not least because a well-ordered city-state offers obvious benefits beyond simply self-protection and commerce. It makes possible a broader life, allowing in addition education and leisure, leading its citizens towards a life of virtue. In book two, Aristotle considers the best regime for the city, looking at the three main forms of his time - democracy, oligarchy/aristocracy and monarchy. He considers the qualification to be a citizen and participate in the political process - offering a wider view than Plato, for example. Revolution, change, constitutional developments, insurrections - these issues of instability are discussed with references to specific examples. And in later books he proposes the conditions for the best state, the ideal state, ‘for a state is not a community of living beings only, but a community of equals, aiming at the best life possible'. Aristotle's Politics is a seminal text and is read here by Andrew Cullum with clarity and purpose. Translation: Benjamin Jowett.

And in later books he proposes the conditions for the best state, the ideal state, ‘for a state is not a community of living beings only, but a community of equals, aiming at the best life possible'. Aristotle's Politics is a seminal text and is read here by Andrew Cullum with clarity and purpose. Translation: Benjamin Jowett.

Title: Politics Author: Aristotle Narrator: Andrew Cullum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: March 21, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The title Politics literally means ‘the things concerning the city'. Here, Aristotle considers the important role that politics plays in the life of the community and its contribution to harmonious and virtuous existence. It is divided into eight books and was a cornerstone in political philosophy for centuries despite certain features - including attitudes towards slaves and women - clearly placing its conclusions and advice within the confines of Athenian society of the fourth century BCE. Aristotle's fundamental view is that the individual needs the city more than the city needs the individual, not least because a well-ordered city-state offers obvious benefits beyond simply self-protection and commerce. It makes possible a broader life, allowing in addition education and leisure, leading its citizens towards a life of virtue. In book two, Aristotle considers the best regime for the city, looking at the three main forms of his time - democracy, oligarchy/aristocracy and monarchy. He considers the qualification to be a citizen and participate in the political process - offering a wider view than Plato, for example. Revolution, change, constitutional developments, insurrections - these issues of instability are discussed with references to specific examples. And in later books he proposes the conditions for the best state, the ideal state, ‘for a state is not a community of living beings only, but a community of equals, aiming at the best life possible'. Aristotle's Politics is a seminal text and is read here by Andrew Cullum with clarity and purpose.

Title: Reflections on Violence Author: Georges Sorel Narrator: Charles Armstrong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 41 minutes Release date: April 21, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: More than a century after Reflections on Violence first appeared (1908) it remains a remarkably controversial essay. The concept of violence as a means to an end (social, religious, political or for aggrandisement) is hugely challenging as a philosophical subject - yet it is, of course, universally (and frequently) pursued. The French thinker and political theorist Georges Sorel (1847-1922), fired up by his interest in Marxism and his anger at the injustice of the Dreyfus case, faced this challenge and in the seven chapters of Reflections on Violence he explored the question. It proved sufficiently stimulating over succeeding decades to be espoused by both Marxists and Fascists alike: class struggle, revolution and above all radical change were central to Sorel's thought. He acknowledges in his introduction: ‘...the normal development of strikes has included a significant number of acts of violence; but certain learned sociologists seek to disguise a phenomenon that everyone who cares to use his eyes must have noticed.' Widely read (he regarded himself as self-educated), Sorel drew on many sources as he covered the ground, including Nietzsche, Proudhon, Marx, Eduard von Hartmann and Henri Bergson. He espoused a view of ‘myth' as a driving impetus - heroic acts by ‘a whole band of companions' - for change. Confrontation cannot be avoided. It has been suggested that Sorel's regard for unequivocal confrontation was based more on impassioned conviction than direct physical violence, but it may be difficult to slip this past his many calls for ‘direct aggression'. He writes, ‘Proletarian violence, carried on as a pure and simple manifestation of the sentiment of the class struggle, appears thus as a very fine and very heroic thing; it is at the service of the immemorial interests of civilisation; it is not perhaps the most appropriate method of obtaining immediate material advantages, but it may save the world from barbarism.'

Title: The Socratic Dialogues: Late Period: Volume 2: The Laws Author: Benjamin Jowett Narrator: Hayward B. Morse, Laurence Kennedy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 9 minutes Release date: March 1, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Laws is the longest of Plato's Dialogues and actually doesn't feature Socrates at all - the principal figure taking the lead is the ‘Athenian Stranger' who engages two older men in the discussion, Cleinias (from Crete) and Megillus (from Sparta). The Dialogue is set in Crete, and the three men embark on a pilgrimage from Knossus to the cave of Dicte, where, legend reports, Zeus was born. The topic under examination is the making of laws appropriate for a well-ordered city: having considered this in The Republic many years earlier, Plato is now taking a less idealistic view and presenting more practical and earthbound proposals, based on law rather than the philosopher-king. It is significant that each of the participants comes from a city with a different system of government: a democracy (Athenian Stranger), a monarchy (Crete) and an oligarchy (Sparta). The Laws is divided into 12 books. Though Socrates is not involved, it can be counted a Socratic Dialogue in terms of form and structure. The Athenian Stranger is played by Laurence Kennedy, with Hayward Morse as Cleinias and Sam Dale as Megillus. The translation is by Benjamin Jowett.

Title: Philosophical Investigations Author: Ludwig Wittgenstein Narrator: Jonathan Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 34 minutes Release date: December 28, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Philosophical Investigations - a landmark in 20th century philosophy - was published in 1953, two years after the death of its author. In the preface written in Cambridge in 1945 where he was professor of philosophy he states: ‘Four years ago I had occasion to re-read my first book (the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus) and to explain its ideas to someone. It suddenly seemed to me that I should publish those old thoughts and the new ones together: that the latter could be seen in the right light only by contrast with and against the background of my old way of thinking.' Philosophical Investigations was the result. It explores the concept of meaning, of understanding, of propositions, of logic, of states of consciousness and of many other topics. The fundamental ideas of the Tractatus are both expounded and criticised. This is the text of the third edition.

Title: The Socratic Dialogues: Late Period: Volume 1: Timaeus, Critias, Sophist, Statesman, Philebus Author: Benjamin Jowett Narrator: David Rntoul, David Timson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 33 minutes Release date: February 9, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: These five very different Socratic Dialogues date from Plato's later period, when he was revisiting his early thoughts and conclusions and showing a willingness for revision. In Timaeus (mainly a monologue read by David Timson in the title role), Plato considers cosmology in terms of the nature and structure of the universe, the ever-changing physical world and the unchanging eternal world. And he proposes a demiurge as a benevolent creator God. Though unfinished, Critias (read by Peter Kenny) is a fascinating document in which Plato tells the story of the strong island empire of Atlantis and reports of a more ideal Athens in the past. In Sophist, Plato questions the nature of the sophist and how he differs from a statesman or a philosopher. In Statesman, Plato questions his earlier projection as the philosopher king as the ideal ruler (The Republic) and considers the importance of other issues such as political awareness. In Philebus, Plato's spotlight falls on hedonism, the life of pleasure - and the balance offered by wisdom and intelligence. Translation by Benjamin Jowett.

Title: An Inquiry into the Human Mind: On the Principles of Common Sense Author: James Reid Narrator: James Gillies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 58 minutes Release date: December 8, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Though now little known outside specialist philosophical circles, the Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid (1710-1796) is remembered both for the founding of the Scottish School of Common Sense and his major work, An Inquiry into the Human Mind: on the Principles of Common Sense (1764). With his feet firmly on the ground, he challenged the speculative ideas of David Hume and George Berkeley, who regarded ideas in the mind as a basis for the external world. Instead, the pugnacious but lively Reid took a much more ‘common sense' view in basing his ideas of reality on sensus communis. Starting from a Ciceronian, stoical platform, he developed his views on more rational attitudes towards reality - ‘direct realism'. In embarking upon An Inquiry he took a critical stance specifically against John Locke and the Treatise of Human Nature (1739) as he declared in his opening statement. ‘I THOUGHT it unreasonable...upon the authority of philosophers, to admit a hypothesis, which, in my opinion, overturns all philosophy, all religion and virtue, and all common sense: and finding that all the systems concerning the human understanding which I was acquainted with, were built upon this hypothesis, I resolved to inquire into this subject anew, without regard to any hypothesis. WHAT I now humbly present...is the fruit of this inquiry, so far only as it regards the five senses; in which I claim no other merit, than that of having given great attention to the operations of my own mind, and of having expressed, with all the perspicuity I was able, what I conceive every man, who gives the same attention, will feel and perceive.' Thomas Reid became professor of moral philosophy at the University of Glasgow, which underscored his importance, though he swam against the main philosophical tide. Even Hume, on reading An Inquiry, acknowledged that the work ‘is wrote in a lively and entertaining manner'. By restricting himself to an examination of the five senses ‘and the principles of human mind which are employed about'...Reid concluded ‘we have attempted an inquiry only into one little corner of the human mind; that corner which seems to be most exposed to vulgar observation, and to be most easily comprehended'. An Inquiry is read in a characterful manner by James Gillies.

Title: The Essence of Christianity Author: Ludwig Feuerbach Narrator: Martyn Swain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 8 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872) pursued studies in anthropology and philosophy - particularly following Hegel - and from these came his proclaimed stance on secular humanism and atheism. ‘Religion is the dream of the human mind,' he writes unequivocally. The Essence of Christianity opens with a preface to the second edition in which he responds boldly to critics. ‘I have only found the key to the cipher of the Christian religion, only extricated its true meaning from the web of contradictions and delusions called theology; but in doing so I have certainly committed a sacrilege...let it be remembered that atheism...is the secret of religion itself.' The work itself is divided into two parts. Part one is titled ‘The True or Anthropological Essence of Religion' and part two, ‘The False or Theological Essence of Religion'. In 27 chapters, replete with references supporting his position, he presents his thesis. He considers in some detail ‘God as a Being of the Understanding', ‘The Mystery of the Trinity and the Mother of God', ‘The Significance of the Creation in Judaism' as well as many other issues including mysticism, celibacy, personal immortality and contradictions in the revelation and existence of God. This leads to his assertion, ‘We have shown that the substance and object of religion is altogether human; we have shown that divine wisdom is human wisdom; that the secret of theology is anthropology; that the absolute mind is the so-called finite subjective mind.' The Essence of Christianity remains a striking text in the 21st century, and George Eliot's rendering conveys the strong feelings of both author and translator. Feuerbach's work concludes with a substantial appendix consisting of 22 sections, further illustrating his arguments. This work is read with clarity and commitment by Martyn Swain.

Feuerbach's work concludes with a substantial appendix consisting of 22 sections, further illustrating his arguments. This work is read with clarity and commitment by Martyn Swain.

Title: The Essence of Christianity Author: Ludwig Feuerbach Narrator: Martyn Swain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 8 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872) pursued studies in anthropology and philosophy - particularly following Hegel - and from these came his proclaimed stance on secular humanism and atheism. ‘Religion is the dream of the human mind,' he writes unequivocally. The Essence of Christianity opens with a preface to the second edition in which he responds boldly to critics. ‘I have only found the key to the cipher of the Christian religion, only extricated its true meaning from the web of contradictions and delusions called theology; but in doing so I have certainly committed a sacrilege...let it be remembered that atheism...is the secret of religion itself.' The work itself is divided into two parts. Part one is titled ‘The True or Anthropological Essence of Religion' and part two, ‘The False or Theological Essence of Religion'. In 27 chapters, replete with references supporting his position, he presents his thesis. He considers in some detail ‘God as a Being of the Understanding', ‘The Mystery of the Trinity and the Mother of God', ‘The Significance of the Creation in Judaism' as well as many other issues including mysticism, celibacy, personal immortality and contradictions in the revelation and existence of God. This leads to his assertion, ‘We have shown that the substance and object of religion is altogether human; we have shown that divine wisdom is human wisdom; that the secret of theology is anthropology; that the absolute mind is the so-called finite subjective mind.' The Essence of Christianity remains a striking text in the 21st century, and George Eliot's rendering conveys the strong feelings of both author and translator.

Title: Formative Early Writings by Karl Marx: Theses on Feuerbach, The German Ideology, The 18th Brumaire of Louis-Napoleon and Others Author: Karl Marx Narrator: Derek Le Page Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 22 minutes Release date: July 13, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Though Karl Marx is best known for Capital and The Communist Manifesto, his revolutionary thoughts and ideas had developed over decades spent in study, discussion and association with a variety of organisations throughout Europe and the US, intent on challenging the establishment order. These six very different texts show how Marx's ideas evolved and how increasingly fierce his views became. In A Criticism of Hegel's Philosophy of Right (1843) (only the introduction was completed), Marx proposes that the working class has a key part to play in the redemption of humanity. This short work contains one of his most famous epigrams, his criticism of religion as 'the opium of the people'. His growing concerns for the material and economic conditions under which the mass of the population live were revealed in On the Jewish Question (1843), in which he declares that it is not religion that alienates people but their living conditions. Marx had been influenced by early views on materialism by - among others - Ludwig Feuerbach, but in the 11 short comments contained in Theses on Feuerbach (written in 1843 but not published until 1888 by Engels), Marx made it clear that it was necessary to go past theory and invest in practical activity. As he declares in the last comment, ‘Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.' The German Ideology (1846) was another polemic against philosophers in which Marx - and Engels - could also propose their view on world history: ‘Morality, religion, metaphysics, all the rest of ideology and their corresponding forms of consciousness, thus no longer retain the semblance of independence. They have no history, no development; but men, developing their material production and their material intercourse, alter, along with this their real existence, their thinking and the products of their thinking. Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life.' The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon (1852) shows another side of Marx the writer: the historian. But in relating the French coup of 1851, when Louis-Napoleon became dictator, Marx wrote from his platform of increasingly strong views on class struggle and the capitalist state. The Critique of Political Economy (1859) effectively previews Capital - but of particular interest here is the preface, in which he gives an account of the development of his philosophical, political and economic views and his materialist approach to history.

Title: Critique of Judgement Author: Immanuel Kant Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 10 minutes Release date: July 10, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Kant's Critique of Judgement is the third and final part of his series of Critiques, which began with Critique of Pure Reason and continued with Critique of Practical Reason. Critique of Judgement was published in 1790 and is divided into two parts, the Critique of Aesthetic Judgement and the Critique of Teleological Judgement. Our ‘judgements of taste', as Kant describes our aesthetic judgements, have both a personal and a universal function: personal because we have a subjective aesthetic response to the ‘agreeable', the ‘beautiful', the ‘sublime' and the ‘good'; but also there is a ‘universal' aspect because our aesthetic response has a 'disinterested' element. This brings under Kant's spotlight, for example, the concept of beauty and the perception of beauty. Teleology, the idea that something has an end or purpose, is discussed in the second section. Here Kant, though not an atheist, questions, among other things, metaphysical proofs of God, including God as an intelligent designer. Translation of Critique of Judgement by James Creed Meredith.

Title: Elements of the Philosophy of Right Author: Georg Wilhelm Hegel Narrator: Jonathan Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 11 minutes Release date: July 30, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Elements of The Philosophy of Right, a key work in the output of Georg Wilhelm Hegel (1770-1831), appeared in 1820 - and was arguably his last major publication. His intention was to state his views on the philosophy of law, political and social theory and ethics. Appearing as it did in a crucial time for the Prussian state - still affected by the Napoleonic wars and their aftermath - it was viewed differently by those on both the left and the right of the political spectrum. The essence, for Hegel, was the rule of law. It is divided into three main parts: Abstract Right (the main topics being Property, Contract and ‘Wrong'); Morality (Purpose and Responsibility, Intention and Well-being, The Good and Conscience); and Ethical Life (The Family, the Civic Community and the State). Within, Hegel considers central matters including free will, freedom and natural right; and he counts law and politics as a single whole, overturning centuries of separation in philosophic discussion. And he declares, ‘The state is not a work of art. It is in the world, in the sphere of caprice, accident, and error. Evil behaviour can doubtless disfigure it in many ways, but the ugliest man, the criminal, the invalid, the cripple, are living men. The positive thing, the life, is present in spite of defects, and it is with this affirmative that we have here to deal.' Jonathan Booth's reading brings clarity to this classic text. Translation: S.

Title: Untimely Meditations Author: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 54 minutes Release date: December 10, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Untimely Considerations contain four essays: 'David Strauss - Writer and Confessor'; 'On the Use and Abuse of History for Life'; 'Schopenhauer as Educator'; and 'Richard Wagner at Bayreuth'. The essays date from the early part of Nietzsche's life when his Romantic view on life and art was coloured by the powerful writings and personalities of such figures as Schopenhauer and Wagner - as the titles of two of the essays proclaim. Published between 1873 and 1876, they were presented under the umbrella title 'Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen', which has been variously translated as 'Thoughts Out Of Season', 'Untimely Meditations', 'Unfashionable Observations' - and 'Untimely Considerations'. They reflect his early interest particularly in culture, philosophy, and the interplay between art, science and life - topics which he would revisit over the following years. In ‘David Strauss: the Confessor and Writer', he labels Strauss - a prominent Protestant theologian of the time - as a Philistine, in humorous but derogatory style. In ‘On the Use and Abuse of History for Life' Nietzsche sets out to re-examine the role of history in informing contemporary life, and, controversially promotes the importance of individual ‘great men' rather than the ‘masses'. This theme is continued, in a way, in the third essay, ‘Schopenhauer as Educator', where he lauds those individual and honest qualities of his philosophic mentor. However, Nietzsche faced more difficulty with the final essay - where he considers both the work and the personality of Wagner - because his own attitudes towards the challenging composer were changing. These four works together present a fascinating portrait of the younger Nietzsche emerging into the highly charged and figure he was to become.

Title: Ideas Author: Edmund Husserl Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 46 minutes Release date: April 26, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: As philosophy professor Taylor Carman explains in his helpful introduction, Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) was the founder of modern phenomenology, one of the most important and influential movements of the 20th century. Ideas, published in 1913 – its full title is Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy – was the key work. It is arguably ‘the most fundamental and comprehensive statement of the fundamental principles of Husserl's mature philosophy'. Carman continues, ‘What is phenomenology? It is, in short, an attempt to describe human experience as it is lived, prior to our reflecting on and theorizing about it, or indeed about the world that it reveals to us.' Philosophy, Husserl proposed, had often become so immersed in the realm of abstraction and speculation that it had lost sight of fundamentals – in particular, a sense of reality, of man's place in the world. He called the concrete texture of lived experience ‘the phenomena' and the purpose of Husserl's phenomenology was to bring philosophical attention and enquiry back to the ordinary awareness of ourselves and the world. As Carman declares, the object of Husserl's phenomenological investigation, is consciousness. Ideas is divided into four parts: Part 1: Essence and Cognition of Essence; Part II: The Fundamental Phenomenological Outlook; Part III: Procedure of Pure Phenomenology in Respect of Methods and Problems; and Part IV: Reason and Reality (Wirklichkeit). This book and Husserl's subsequent work had a strong influence on the existential movement of the 20th century, in particular the work of Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-198) and Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961). Phenomenology, Carman says unequivocally, became a 20th century movement which earned a permanent place in the history of philosophy and is indispensable for an adequate understanding of modern European thought. Husserl's Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy is where it began. The text is presented in an exemplary clear reading by Leighton Pugh.

Ideas is divided into four parts: Part 1: Essence and Cognition of Essence; Part II: The Fundamental Phenomenological Outlook; Part III: Procedure of Pure Phenomenology in Respect of Methods and Problems; and Part IV: Reason and Reality (Wirklichkeit). This book and Husserl's subsequent work had a strong influence on the existential movement of the 20th century, in particular the work of Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-198) and Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961). Phenomenology, Carman says unequivocally, became a 20th century movement which earned a permanent place in the history of philosophy and is indispensable for an adequate understanding of modern European thought. Husserl's Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy is where it began. The text is presented in an exemplary clear reading by Leighton Pugh. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731424 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731424]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Selections from Parerga and Paralipomena: Volume 2 Author: Arthur Schopenhauer Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 59 minutes Release date: April 20, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Volume 2 of Parerga and Paralipomena has a very different character from Volume 1. There are, in total, 31 Essays, 24 of which are presented here. The range of topics is very varied, opening with 'On Philosophy and Its Method' and including 'On Pantheism', 'On Ethics', 'On Jurisprudence', 'On Men of Learning', 'On Thinking for Oneself', 'On Religion' and 'The Vanity of Existence'. Quite a few open windows on to the personality of Schopenhauer himself - for example, he praises dogs as companions, argues that animals should be chloroformed before slaughter: animal welfare was very much in his sights. He inveighs against useless indulgence in luxury: 'the most effective way of alleviating human misery would be to diminish luxury, or even abolish it altogether.' A thinker at home with his thoughts, he remarks with a touch of resigned humour: 'The pen is to thought what the stick is to walking, but one walks most easily without a stick, and thinks most perfectly when no pen is at hand. It is only when a man begins to get old that he likes to make use of a stick and his pen.' His writings range widely over the international intellectual and cultural spectrum. There are numerous references to Eastern thought - especially Buddhism and Brahmanism as translations into European languages from Pali and Sanskrit gathered force during Schopenhauer's active life. He clearly found himself comfortable in this body of thought, often comparing it favourably with the Western Judaic-Christian heritage. As always he makes liberal use of quotations and footnotes and these have been translated and incorporated into the main text for this recording. For Leighton Pugh, who has now recorded the main body of Schopenhauer's work for Ukemi Audiobooks, spending many days in the studio with this hugely influential figure has been like 'training at altitude.' He remarked that the time spent with the varied and accessible essays in Parerga and Paralipomena Volume 2 proved to be among the most enjoyable.

Title: Selections from Parerga and Paralipomena: Volume 1 Author: Arthur Schopenhauer Narrator: Leighton Pugh, David Rintoul Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 56 minutes Release date: April 18, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The two sizeable volumes of Parerga and Paralipomena hold a special place in the output of Arthur Schopenhauer. Parerga means 'supplementary to a main work', and Paralipomena suggests a further supplement, but these two books were anything but a casual addition to his major opus, The World as Will and Idea. For a start, it was the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851 which brought Schopenhauer to the attention of the general public, decades after The World as Will and Idea first appeared. Suddenly, people sat up and took notice, and Schopenhauer was established as a major figure in 19th-century German - and world - philosophy, a reputation he has never lost. This recording of the major part of volume 1 contains, arguably, the most important essays. From volume 1, Leighton Pugh reads 'Sketch of a History of the Doctrine of the Ideal and the Real', 'Fragments for the History of Philosophy' and 'Transcendent Speculation on Apparent Design in the Fate of the Individual'. David Rintoul then takes over to read the most well-known section of volume 1, 'Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life' and 'Counsels and Maxims'. In general it could be said that the content of volume 1 of Parerga and Paralipomena presents ideas which are supplementary to the main thrust of Schopenhauer's life work, whereas volume 2 sees him responding, more briefly but with customary clarity, to a great variety of topics. The translations in this recording of volume 1 are by Ernest Belfort Bax, David Irvine and T. Bailey Saunders.

Title: A Theologico-Political Treatise/A Political Treatise Author: Baruch Spinoza Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 4 minutes Release date: June 1, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Though it first aroused anger and controversy rather than admiration and acceptance, A Theologico-Political Treatise was a landmark in the analysis of theology (with particular reference to the Bible and its Jewish and Christian interpretations) and its relationship to philosophy and politics. Spinoza's scholarly analysis, based on careful study, demonstrated that the Bible was composed by many writers over the centuries - and that even the Pentateuch, the first five books, were not the work of Moses, as was generally assumed at the time. When the treatise appeared in 1670, this was highly controversial, questioning as it did the nature of God and miracles. Further, theology and philosophy, he maintained, should be kept separate. The treatise is also notable for the unequivocally libertarian view Spinoza promulgated: ‘Everyone should be free to choose for himself the foundations of his creed, and that faith should be judged only by its fruits; each would then obey God freely with his whole heart, while nothing would be publicly honoured save justice and charity.' Baruch Spinoza was born in 1632 into a Sephardic/Portuguese family in Amsterdam but left Judaism, embraced Christianity and died in 1677 a highly learned philosopher. Best known for his Ethics, which, for his own safety, was published posthumously, A Theologico-Political Treatise was published in his lifetime, though anonymously. It underpinned his later reputation as the father of modern metaphysics and moral and political philosophy. Its unmistakable blend of considered scholarly argument with passionate declarations make it lively and relevant listening even in the 21st century. A Political Treatise, in which Spinoza set out to examine three forms of government - monarchy, aristocracy, democracy - was left unfinished at his death but reflects a clear-thinking analysis presented through a 17th century prism.

Title: Nicomachean Ethics and Eudemian Ethics Author: Aristotle Narrator: Andrew Cullum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 42 minutes Release date: November 29, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and Eudemian Ethics represent, in many ways, the Western classical springboard for the systematic study and implementation of ethics, the optimum behaviour of the individual. (By contrast, Aristotle's Politics concerns the optimum blueprint for the city-state.) It is in the hands of each individual, he argues in these books on personal ethics, to develop a character which bases a life on virtue, with positive but moderate habits. The Nicomachean Ethics, the primary work (the title is said to come from his son Nicomachus and is generally regarded as having been essentially notes for lectures), is divided into 10 books. It opens with a statement on who should study ethics and why and that the pursuance of moral virtue leads to happiness. Courage, temperance, magnanimity, honesty and friendship are among the many qualities considered. Aristotle also outlines some of the obstacles to developing virtue. Throughout, the emphasis is placed on the practical advantages of developing positive ethics – this is practical philosophy. The Eudemian Ethics (named after a pupil of Aristotle, Eudemus of Rhodes) is a shorter work, and in fact its chapters four, five and six are identical to chapters five, six and seven in the Nicomachean Ethics. (They are not replicated in this recording of the Eudemian Ethics.) It is now widely felt by scholars that this work preceded the Nicomachean Ethics and therefore offers Aristotle's earlier thoughts on the subject. Despite the similarities, the Eudemian Ethics contains other material (the virtue of ‘mildness' appears) and places different emphases or expansions in certain areas; for example, it offers a particularly detailed consideration of the key concepts of virtue, wisdom and pleasure. In both these important books, the characteristically clear and systematic manner with which Aristotle deals with the whole question of ethics makes an audio recording especially accessible. The works are read with a persuasive clarity by Andrew Cullum. Nicomachean Ethics translation: W D Ross. Eudemian Ethics translation: H. Rackham.

Title: An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation Author: Jeremy Bentham Narrator: Andrew Cullum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 4 minutes Release date: June 7, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), the English philosopher, writer on law and political radical, was an extraordinary individual. His preserved body can still be seen seated in a case in the South Cloisters of University College, London - what he called an auto-icon. His most important legacy, however, is the ‘principle of utility' - the greatest happiness of the greatest number: an ultimate measure of right and wrong. Underlain by an acute sense of ethics, this provided the basis for his strongly declared, wide-ranging views on many subjects: prohibition of cock-fighting, liberty of the press, universal suffrage, the removal of religious tests for office and even hunting. All were radical ideas for his time. He also proposed the decriminalisation of homosexuality, though even he did not dare to publish his essay on this subject during his lifetime. But An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation was his major work. It was finished in 1780, though not published until nine years later when he added an extended footnote just before publication - demonstrating his characteristic reluctance to commit to a final form. (He also wrote a preface just before publication which is included here at the end of the recording, providing interesting background material). As Ross Harrison explains in his helpful opening comments to this recording, Bentham, a skilled jurist, wanted a perfect system of criminal law provided by a penal code, and An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation was to be the introduction. His overarching intent was 'to rear the fabric of felicity by the hands of reason and of law'. Harrison clarifies: ‘Felicity, happiness, is the goal; reason and law are the means to be used'. In short, man should seek to maximise pleasure, but ethically. Bentham asks what a system of laws would look like if based on this principle of ‘utility' - happiness. Bentham considers pleasure and pain in terms of behaviour, consequences and the law. As he says famously (in chapter 1), 'Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do as well as to determine what we shall do.' He broadens his ethical purview further. Living at a time of widespread slavery, he argues that different races should not be subject to ‘the caprice of a tormentor' and even questions whether animals should have rights. He goes on to propose a method for measuring pleasure over pain. Concerned to make a measured and clear argument at all times, Bentham did not set out to produce a work in a popular style. Nevertheless, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation is an important work, a milestone in English philosophy and one that has wielded a considerable influence, even to the present day.

Living at a time of widespread slavery, he argues that different races should not be subject to ‘the caprice of a tormentor' and even questions whether animals should have rights. He goes on to propose a method for measuring pleasure over pain. Concerned to make a measured and clear argument at all times, Bentham did not set out to produce a work in a popular style. Nevertheless, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation is an important work, a milestone in English philosophy and one that has wielded a considerable influence, even to the present day.

Title: An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation Author: Jeremy Bentham Narrator: Andrew Cullum Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 4 minutes Release date: June 7, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), the English philosopher, writer on law and political radical, was an extraordinary individual. His preserved body can still be seen seated in a case in the South Cloisters of University College, London - what he called an auto-icon. His most important legacy, however, is the ‘principle of utility' - the greatest happiness of the greatest number: an ultimate measure of right and wrong. Underlain by an acute sense of ethics, this provided the basis for his strongly declared, wide-ranging views on many subjects: prohibition of cock-fighting, liberty of the press, universal suffrage, the removal of religious tests for office and even hunting. All were radical ideas for his time. He also proposed the decriminalisation of homosexuality, though even he did not dare to publish his essay on this subject during his lifetime. But An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation was his major work. It was finished in 1780, though not published until nine years later when he added an extended footnote just before publication - demonstrating his characteristic reluctance to commit to a final form. (He also wrote a preface just before publication which is included here at the end of the recording, providing interesting background material). As Ross Harrison explains in his helpful opening comments to this recording, Bentham, a skilled jurist, wanted a perfect system of criminal law provided by a penal code, and An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation was to be the introduction. His overarching intent was 'to rear the fabric of felicity by the hands of reason and of law'. Harrison clarifies: ‘Felicity, happiness, is the goal; reason and law are the means to be used'. In short, man should seek to maximise pleasure, but ethically. Bentham asks what a system of laws would look like if based on this principle of ‘utility' - happiness. Bentham considers pleasure and pain in terms of behaviour, consequences and the law. As he says famously (in chapter 1), 'Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do as well as to determine what we shall do.' He broadens his ethical purview further. Living at a time of widespread slavery, he argues that different races should not be subject to ‘the caprice of a tormentor' and even questions whether animals should have rights. He goes on to propose a method for measuring pleasure over pain. Concerned to make a measured and clear argument at all times, Bentham did not set out to produce a work in a popular style. Nevertheless, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation is an important work, a milestone in English philosophy and one that has wielded a considerable influence, even to the present day. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731415 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731415]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Critique of Pure Reason Author: Immanuel Kant Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 27 hours 38 minutes Release date: February 26, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason can lay claim to being the most important single work of modern philosophy, a work whose methodology, if not necessarily always its conclusions, has had a profound influence on almost all subsequent philosophical discourse. In this work Kant addresses, in a groundbreaking elucidation of the nature of reason, the age-old question of philosophy: “How do we know what we know?” and the limits of what it is that we can know with certainty. Immanuel Kant (1724 to 1804) lived his long life against the background of the Enlightenment and shared in that movement's growing confidence in the ability of human reason, in the sciences, mathematics and, Kant was to argue, in philosophy too, to explain matters that had previously been the preserve of purely speculative thought and of metaphysics. The Critique of Pure Reason is exactly that, a critique of what ‘pure' reason, that is to say reason independent of empirical evidence, could claim as truth, particularly with regard to such questions as freedom, causality, and the existence of a Supreme Being. As well as challenging what he saw as the contradictory metaphysical traditions of past philosophers, Kant critiqued both rationalism and empiricism, the alternative schools of philosophical thought dominant at the time, which argued, respectively, for either reason or experience as being the key to our understanding. In the Critique Kant turns these opposing schools on their head and expounds what Kant himself called a revolutionary and all-encompassing ‘Transcendental Idealism'. Instead of an objective reality which we can somehow ‘know' through either reason or experience, Kant proposes that our knowledge of empirical objects depends upon our subjective reasoning of them (“objects must conform to our knowledge”) and not, as was usually assumed, the other way around. Kant's exhaustively thorough and ‘scientific' working out of this central thesis meant that all philosophers who came after him were set a benchmark against which to propound their own arguments with equal thoroughness. Indeed, Kant himself thought that, so comprehensive had his work been in its analysis both of the nature of reason itself and of the shortcomings of all previous thinkers on the subject, that his Critique of Pure Reason might be considered ‘the last word'. While this was not to be the case, this seminal work still maintains its power to challenge the way we think of ourselves in relation to the world around us and, if we really engage with Kant's arguments and insights, to change our very understanding of what it means to be a ‘rational' human being. This reading uses Kant's heavily revised Second Edition of the Critique of Pure Reason, published in 1787. It is read by Michael Lunts who has also recorded Kant's two subsequent Critiques, Critique of Practical Reason and Critique of Judgement for Ukemi Audiobooks. Translator: Norman Kemp Smith.

Title: The Will to Power: An Attempted Transvaluation of All Values Author: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 23 minutes Release date: March 28, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Nietzsche never recovered from his mental breakdown in 1889 and therefore was unable to further any plans he had for the ‘magnum opus' he had once intended, bringing together in a coherent whole his mature philosophy. It was left to his close friend Heinrich Köselitz and his sister Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche to go through the remaining notebooks and unpublished writings, choosing sections of particular interest to produce The Will to Power, giving it the subtitle An Attempted Transvaluation of All Values. It was published in 1901, was expanded in subsequent years and was translated into English in its expanded form in 1910 by Anthony M Ludovici, who had done so much to bring Nietzsche's work to the English-speaking public. Ludovici explains that for Nietzsche, the Will to Power was the fundamental principle of all life, a view that could be found in many of his earlier texts, including Thus Spoke Zarathustra: ‘Where there is life, there is also will: not, however, Will to Life, but - so teach I thee - Will to Power!' (In this, Nietzsche was concerned to overtake Schopenhauer's concept of the ‘Will to Live'.) This posthumous compilation is arranged in four books (divided into 1,067 sections): European Nihilism A Criticism of the Highest Values That Have Prevailed Hitherto The Principles of a New Valuation Discipline and Breeding Among the themes given prominence by this compilation - and it is, it must be remembered, basically an anthology - are nihilism, metaphysics and the future of Europe. Nietzsche identified Christianity (and its claim to be ‘higher and better') and its ‘meek/weak' attitude as one cause of the nihilism that so concerned him. Another side of the coin was the ineluctable basic human nature of 'the will to power'. Deny that, and nihilism results. But passive nihilism (following the breakdown of social conventions, including conventional religion) can be counteracted by active nihilism and the role of the ‘ubermensch', the self-reliant. In aphorism after aphorism he argued for the creation of new values based on acceptance that there is nothing beyond ourselves. It remains his conviction that it is the men who are the masters of themselves - a dominating elite - who must lead. But a deeply human initiative, not the creation of a master race! Aphorism 22 posits, ‘Nihilism. It may be two things: A. Nihilism as a sign of enhanced spiritual strength: active Nihilism. B. Nihilism as a sign of the collapse and decline of spiritual strength: passive Nihilism.' Nietzsche's powerful, uncompromising language continues right to the closing moments, where he concludes, ‘And even you yourselves are this will to power - and nothing besides!'

Title: Emile or On Education Author: Jean-Jacques Rousseau Narrator: Jonathan Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 42 minutes Release date: August 23, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Social Contract and Discourse on Inequality may be the two principal philosophical works for which Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) is remembered today, but his educational treatise-novel, Emile or On Education, can claim to be an equally important and, for its time, radical work. Published in 1762, it had a profound impact on the approach to the education and upbringing of a child, through infancy, childhood, adolescence and into adulthood. This was partly fuelled by the format - for Rousseau presents before us the boy Emile, taking him through the various stages of life, and as Emile becomes a young man, introducing a female counterpart, Sophie. This device personalises what would otherwise be a more formal philosophical presentation. Emile or On Education is divided into five parts. In book I, Rousseau discusses the challenges of man as a self-centred being, who nevertheless has to learn to live in the world. Rousseau outlines his educational philosophy: ‘Plants are fashioned by cultivation, man by education.' In book II, Rousseau focusses on the growing child, the child and its place in the world. He argues that this is the time to encounter nature directly in all its varying delights. Book III sees Rousseau placing high on the agenda the learning of a trade, especially a manual skill, and notes the crucial effect played by role models. Book IV outlines the challenges of the teenage world and finally, in book V, covering the early '20s, Rousseau introduces Sophie. His ideas concerning the education of girls are inevitably fashioned by 18th-century views on women's expected role in society, something which was quickly challenged by figures such as Mary Wollstonecraft. But though Emile or On Education is undeniably a product of its time, it has profoundly influenced educational concepts right into the 21st century. Rousseau argues for the importance of physical activity in the early years, for example, playing outside and interacting with nature. Only later, as adolescence approaches, should formal study play a more prominent part. The adolescent should approach issues such as religion and philosophy with an open mind (this brought Rousseau and Emile directly into conflict with the conventional religious institutions, resulting in the banning, and even burning, of the book in Paris and Geneva). Emile or On Education proved a milestone in educational reform and it has remained a stimulating document. For example, it asks, ‘Is it good for young people to travel? It should be asked, Are men the better for having travelled?' And further, ‘The misuse of books is the death of sound learning...there was never so much reading in any age as the present, and never was there less learning...so many books lead us to neglect the book of the world.'

Title: An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Author: John Locke Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 30 hours 20 minutes Release date: July 30, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: John Locke and his works - particularly An Essay Concerning Human Understanding - are regularly and rightly presented as foundations for the Age of Enlightenment. His primary epistemological message - that the mind at birth is a blank sheet waiting to be filled by the experiences of the senses - complemented his primary political message: that human beings are free and equal and have the right to envision, create and direct the governments that rule them and the societies within which they live. In these respects, one might think of Locke (1632-1704) as preparing the way for the 18th century, though An Essay Concerning Human Understanding dates from 1690. In the essay he remarks that he was ‘employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little, and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge'. Everywhere, Locke's 18th-century readers included learned philosophers, educators, historians and political thinkers but also local community and political leaders, students and many others eager to take advantage of the expanding world of print culture that was a central part of the Enlightenment. Today, Locke remains an accessible author whose essay can still be listened to with pleasure by an engaged public around the world. Some will listen to his work to know more about the beginnings of the modern era; others will seek arguments to be used in present-day debates. This recording presents An Essay unabridged. It is prefaced by an informative introduction (written for the Wordsworth Edition) by Mark G. Spencer, who explains: ‘The starting point for much of Locke's philosophy was his keenness to explore how it was that humans arrived at their knowledge of the world. What do humans know? How do they know what they know?' Or, as Locke himself puts it in his opening section, ‘Epistle to the Reader', his purpose was to 'examine our own abilities, and see what objects our understandings were, or were not, fitted to deal with.' And it remains an approachable text, for, as Spencer points out, Locke's ‘intended reading audience was not one of scholars and philosophers shut up in their closets' but the ordinary man.'

Title: An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Author: John Locke Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 30 hours 20 minutes Release date: July 30, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: John Locke and his works - particularly An Essay Concerning Human Understanding - are regularly and rightly presented as foundations for the Age of Enlightenment. His primary epistemological message - that the mind at birth is a blank sheet waiting to be filled by the experiences of the senses - complemented his primary political message: that human beings are free and equal and have the right to envision, create and direct the governments that rule them and the societies within which they live. In these respects, one might think of Locke (1632-1704) as preparing the way for the 18th century, though An Essay Concerning Human Understanding dates from 1690. In the essay he remarks that he was ‘employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little, and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge'. Everywhere, Locke's 18th-century readers included learned philosophers, educators, historians and political thinkers but also local community and political leaders, students and many others eager to take advantage of the expanding world of print culture that was a central part of the Enlightenment. Today, Locke remains an accessible author whose essay can still be listened to with pleasure by an engaged public around the world. Some will listen to his work to know more about the beginnings of the modern era; others will seek arguments to be used in present-day debates. This recording presents An Essay unabridged. It is prefaced by an informative introduction (written for the Wordsworth Edition) by Mark G. Spencer, who explains: ‘The starting point for much of Locke's philosophy was his keenness to explore how it was that humans arrived at their knowledge of the world. What do humans know? How do they know what they know?' Or, as Locke himself puts it in his opening section, ‘Epistle to the Reader', his purpose was to 'examine our own abilities, and see what objects our understandings were, or were not, fitted to deal with.' And it remains an approachable text, for, as Spencer points out, Locke's ‘intended reading audience was not one of scholars and philosophers shut up in their closets' but the ordinary man.' The essay is divided into four books: Part 1: Of Innate Notions, Of Ideas, Of Words; and Part 2: Of Knowledge and Probability. Leighton Pugh reads with clarity and vigour.

Title: The Spirit of the Laws Author: Charles De Secondat, Baron De Montesquieu Narrator: Martyn Swain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 7, 2019 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From the moment of its publication in 1748, The Spirit of the Laws proved to be a controversial work provoking widespread interest. Within three years it had been translated into various European languages - and was swiftly added to the List of Prohibited Books by the Roman Catholic Church. It is a remarkable book, a potpourri of observations and comments ranging far and wide over the social activities of mankind, and it exerted a great influence on political leaders in the following decades. For over 20 years, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755), a French landowner and polymath of the Age of Enlightenment, compiled his work, casting an interested and unfettered eye over classical Greece and Rome, over his own times, and over the historical bases of customs across the world, from Europe to the Middle East as far as China and the Far East. His purpose was to look at the governments of countries and to consider how and why they were governed, and the different results that ensued within different systems. He questioned how these democratic, despotic or monarchical structures and institutions affected the lives of the people, comparing the laws that protect and the laws that constrain. He evaluated the morals and traditions that prevailed and the individual freedoms that differing societies allowed while analysing how power in government was divided between the legislative, the executive and the judiciary. Having read widely and voraciously, he brought under his purview a mass of social, historical, theoretical and anthropological detail which, even today, is entertaining, fascinating and absorbing. He considered not just the way tradition, religion and laws fashioned society but even the effects of climate and geography. De Montesquieu's topics included Alexander the Great, the condition of women, corruption, slavery, civil law in France, English politics, Feudal laws among the Franks, taxes, the Lombards, the Huns, Charlemagne, Plutarch, despotic rule in Japan, marriage habits, attitudes to family and family law in different countries, with evidence ranging from Lacedaemonian magistrates to the West Indies. The Spirit of the Laws is a remarkably colourful document that shaped the views of many lawmakers in the following decades - among them the founding fathers of the United States - with its essentially liberal and humane outlook on life and mankind. Not so well known in the 21st century, it is a true gem awaiting rediscovery and is read with great clarity by Martyn Swain.

Title: The Anatomy of Melancholy Author: Robert Burton Narrator: Peter Wickham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 56 hours 49 minutes Release date: March 11, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Anatomy of Melancholy is one of the most remarkable books ever written. First published in 1621, and hardly ever out of print since, it is a huge, varied, idiosyncratic, entertaining and learned survey of the experience of melancholy, seen from just about every possible angle that could be imagined. Its subtitle explains much: The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is: With All the Kinds, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Several Cures of It. In Three Maine Partitions with their Several Sections, Members, and Subsections. Philosophically, Medicinally, Historically, Opened and Cut Up. But despite the subtitle's length, it does not do justice to the immense scope of the study. Nor to its oddness. Robert Burton (1577-1640) was an Oxford scholar, a vicar and a mathematician with a stupendously wide reading habit which was supported by an exceptional memory: he remembered virtually everything he read. However, throughout his life he suffered from depression and was therefore able to bring personal experience to what could have been a dry, if gargantuan academic study. According to traditional medicine, accepted generally by Jacobeans, melancholy was caused by ‘black bile'. But for Burton psychology underpinned all. He divides his book into three Partitions. In 'The First Partition' he looks at causes of melancholy. He addresses diet (good and bad) and appetite; he considers witches and magicians; he surveys any number of physical maladies from ‘phrenzy' to ‘lycanthropia'. The soul – sensible and rational – is investigated; the passions (envy, malice, anger, discontent, covetousness, love of gaming, pride, overmuch joy) are intricately examined. 'The Second Partition' is dedicated to ‘The Cure of Melancholy', and Burton discusses physical issues and social positions, while dealing meticulously with such emotional states as envy, ambition, self-love and more. 'The Third Partition' is dedicated to an examination of ‘Love-Melancholy': beauty, lust, music, amorous tales, bawds – and also religious melancholy. All this hardly reflects the experience of listening to The Anatomy of Melancholy. Burton's fertile and curious mind dips here, there and everywhere. Classical references abound; the text teems with obscure references to scientists, doctors, philosophers, writers, musicians and politicians from all ages. They are invariably fascinating and in some cases astounding. He is equally fluent in investigating the diaphragm, the pleura, the vena cava, the bladder, the gall and the spleen as he is in acknowledging the role of hypochondria and psychosomatic ailments. In one sentence he refers to the excess habits of Alcibiades, in the next he is evoking Chaucer's Wife of Bath. In fact quotations from Chaucer and Shakespeare, Juvenal, Lucretius, the Bible, Ariosto and Virgil tumble over one another in a glorious cornucopia. This great text, a monument to English knowledge and invention, once approached is never forgotten. It has informed, delighted and infuriated generations of great men of all disciplines (including Samuel Johnson) down the centuries. It must also be acknowledged that it is as challenging a task to record as exists in English literature. Peter Wickham, no stranger to tough texts, proves undaunted by it: he brings Robert Burton magnificently to the 21st century ear, rendering the Jacobean language, the abstruse references and the unbelievable detail, with a remarkable ease and familiarity.

Title: The Wealth of Nations Author: Adam Smith Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 41 hours 58 minutes Release date: April 3, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Wealth of Nations, first published in 1776, is the first book of modern political economy and still provides the foundation for the study of that discipline. An Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, to give it is full title, was an immediate best seller and has since rightfully claimed its place in the Western intellectual canon. Its author, Adam Smith (1723-1790), was one of the brightest stars of the 18th-century Scottish Enlightenment. Along with important discussions of economics and political theory, Smith mixed plain common sense with large measures of history, philosophy, psychology, sociology and much else. Few texts remind us so clearly that the Enlightenment was very much a lived experience, a concern with improving them human condition in practical ways for real people. This recording opens with an informative and helpful introduction by Mark G. Spencer of Brock University, Ontario, Canada, an authority on the period. He places the work and its concepts against the background of Smith's life and influences, and includes his strong friendships with key figures of the time varying from the philosopher David Hume, the chemist William Cullen and the architect Robert Adam. The Wealth of Nations is divided into five books. Book I: Of the Causes of Improvement in the Productive Powers of Labour, and of the Order according to which its Produce is Naturally Distributed Among the Different Ranks of the People. Book 2: Of the Nature, Accumulation, and Employment of Stock. Book 3: Of the Different Progress of Opulence in Different Nations. Book 4: Of Systems of Political Economy. Book 5: Of the Revenue of the Sovereign or Commonwealth. A masterpiece by any measure, The Wealth of Nations remains a classic of world literature to be usefully enjoyed by listeners today. It receives an engaged and clear reading from Michael Lunts.

Title: The Maxims Author: Duc De La Rochefoucauld Narrator: David Rintoul Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 26 minutes Release date: August 14, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: There's no fool like an old fool.... The world is full of pots calling kettles black.... We can no more set a term to our passions than to our life. These are just three of the aphorisms that made the collection of maxims by François, Duc de la Rochefoucauld, an enduring influence upon succeeding generations following their initial publication in 1665. The effect continued up to the present day - his admirers have included figures as varied as Lord Chesterfield, Thomas Hardy, Nietzsche, Stendhal, Gide and in more recent times, even Dorothy Parker, herself a prolific producer of epigrams. Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) a well-known member of the French nobility, had a rich life with a bold military career. He proved courageous in battle, was wounded several times and nearly lost his sight. Not always finding himself on the successful side of politics, his career and standing in high circles was curtailed. However, he was also involved in literary salons and was respected as a moralist and man of letters at a time when it was fashionable to read maxims out loud at gatherings. A number of editions of his maxims appeared during his lifetime as he revised his choices, deleting some and adding others. In total, a little over 600 have survived, which can be confidently ascribed to La Rochefoucauld. They vary considerably in style, length and content. Many are short (as those mentioned above); but others are longer, aiming at observations or truths which go beyond the witty flourish or the acutely pointed barb. For La Rochefoucauld was a perceptive observer of humanity in all its multi-faceted guises. Often he gave little quarter to human foibles, especially in the area of (in his celebrated phrase) ‘amour-propre', or self-love, and clearly enjoyed cataloguing a range of emotions and effects where this comes into human play. But this collection is much more than a basket of one-liners. He discusses aspects of death in an 800-word paragraph - a matter on which he could speak with some authority having faced it on many occasions in battle. He addresses laziness: ‘Of all our emotions, laziness is the one of which we are ourselves least aware. It is also the most intense and malignant of them all, though its violence be imperceptible and the damage it causes remain very well hidden.' This recording presents a scholarly but accessible 20th-century translation by Constantine FitzGibbon, and opens with an introduction to the life and works of La Rochefoucauld, as well as his own description of himself. It closes with a brief but interesting bibliography, in which FitzGibbon brings clarity to the various editions. It is presented in a very listenable manner by David Rintoul, who gives each maxim the weight and character it deserves.

Title: The Maxims Author: Duc De La Rochefoucauld Narrator: David Rintoul Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 26 minutes Release date: August 14, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: There's no fool like an old fool.... The world is full of pots calling kettles black.... We can no more set a term to our passions than to our life. These are just three of the aphorisms that made the collection of maxims by François, Duc de la Rochefoucauld, an enduring influence upon succeeding generations following their initial publication in 1665. The effect continued up to the present day - his admirers have included figures as varied as Lord Chesterfield, Thomas Hardy, Nietzsche, Stendhal, Gide and in more recent times, even Dorothy Parker, herself a prolific producer of epigrams. Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) a well-known member of the French nobility, had a rich life with a bold military career. He proved courageous in battle, was wounded several times and nearly lost his sight. Not always finding himself on the successful side of politics, his career and standing in high circles was curtailed. However, he was also involved in literary salons and was respected as a moralist and man of letters at a time when it was fashionable to read maxims out loud at gatherings. A number of editions of his maxims appeared during his lifetime as he revised his choices, deleting some and adding others. In total, a little over 600 have survived, which can be confidently ascribed to La Rochefoucauld. They vary considerably in style, length and content. Many are short (as those mentioned above); but others are longer, aiming at observations or truths which go beyond the witty flourish or the acutely pointed barb. For La Rochefoucauld was a perceptive observer of humanity in all its multi-faceted guises. Often he gave little quarter to human foibles, especially in the area of (in his celebrated phrase) ‘amour-propre', or self-love, and clearly enjoyed cataloguing a range of emotions and effects where this comes into human play. But this collection is much more than a basket of one-liners. He discusses aspects of death in an 800-word paragraph - a matter on which he could speak with some authority having faced it on many occasions in battle. He addresses laziness: ‘Of all our emotions, laziness is the one of which we are ourselves least aware. It is also the most intense and malignant of them all, though its violence be imperceptible and the damage it causes remain very well hidden.'

Title: A Brief History of 20th Century Western Philosophy Author: Garrett Thomson Narrator: James Gillies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 12 minutes Release date: April 9, 2022 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: During the 20th century, our understanding of the world was transformed thanks to the likes of relativity, quantum physics, molecular biology, chaos theory and computer science. Likewise, our comprehension of ourselves developed dramatically courtesy of theories such as behaviourism, structuralism and cognitive science. The history of Western philosophy in the 20th century broadly reflects all of this change and diversity, but at an abstract level. Part of its story is of the contrast between two conflicting traditions: the analytic and the continental. In the analytic tradition, there are thinkers such as Russell, Quine and Davidson, who, among other things, aim to show how semantic meaning fits into the scientifically conceived physical world. This often goes hand in hand with the idea that social progress must be in part scientific. However, within this analytic branch, there are several counter-narratives, such as the work of the pragmatists and the ordinary language philosophers, who resist the idea that language must conform to an idealized scientific picture, and who often point towards a conception of social progress that is not scientific. In sharp contrast, much continental thought tries to characterise the human condition through descriptions of experience as such in ways that are pre-scientific. This applies especially to thinkers in the phenomenological and existentialist traditions, such as Husserl, Heidegger and Sartre. Branching out from this, hermeneutics examines the art of interpreting texts, especially with regard to the historical and linguistic assumptions that make interpretation possible. Poststructuralism constitutes largely a rejection of these traditions that emphasizes the shifting relations between signifiers within a whole system and which defies all attempts to seek absolutes beyond those relations. In this illuminating overview, Professor Garrett Thomson surveys the field, considering the work and influence of 29 major thinkers representing logical atomism and logical positivism (including Russell and Wittgenstein), analytic philosophy (including Quine, Davidson, Rawls), phenomenology and existentialism (including Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre), hermeneutics (including Gadamer and Habermas) and post-structuralism (including Foucault, Derrida and Deleuze). Also examined are some recent thinkers including Richard Rorty and Charles Taylor. The field is clearly presented with a short biography of the major figures followed by their thoughts and views. With over 20 books to his credit, Professor Thomson is an experienced presenter of his subject, conveying his knowledge expertly while injecting his personal enthusiasm for the challenges of 20th century Western philosophy. The text is read with clarity by James Gillies.

Title: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics that Will Be Able to Present Itself as a Science Author: Immanuel Kant Narrator: Michael Lunts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 45 minutes Release date: December 29, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Kant's Prolegomena, although a small book, is without doubt the most important of his writings, writes the translator, Paul Carus. Prolegomena means, literally, prefatory or introductory remarks, and it furnishes us with a key to his main work, The Critique of Pure Reason; in fact, it is an extract containing all the salient ideas of Kant's system. It approaches the subject in the simplest and most direct way and is therefore best adapted as an introduction into his philosophy. It is not without good reasons that the appearance of the Critique of Pure Reason is regarded as the beginning of a new era in the history of philosophy; and so it seems that a comprehension of Kant's position, whether we accept or reject it, is indispensable to the student of philosophy. It is not his solution which makes the sage of Ko¨nigsberg the initiator of modern thought, but his formulation of the problem.

Title: Moralia: Volume 2: 17 Varied Essays Author: Name Plutarch Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 1 minute Release date: July 14, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus (46 ce - after 119) was born in Chaeronea, Boeotia, to a wealthy Greek family and assumed his full Latin name on becoming a Roman citizen. He made the most of his varied background and experience as a philosopher, magistrate, ambassador and priest at the Delphic Temple of Apollo, to become one of the most important biographers and essayists of classical Greek and Roman times. His Parallel Lives, which recounts and describes the personalities and achievements of the great figures of the era, is his most well-known (and voluminous) text. But Moralia, his collection of essays on a rich variety of subjects, continues to fascinate and educate. Volume 2 comprises 17 essays which are arguably even wider ranging than the Ethical Essays in Volume 1, opening with ‘On Listening to Lectures', in which he warns against the habit of ‘the great majority of persons who practise speaking before they have acquired the habit of listening'. Plutarch is didactic, entertaining, informative and at times controversial. He considers atheism in ‘Superstition', asks ‘Were the Athenians more famous in War or in Wisdom?' and in ‘On Love of Wealth' confirms that money can't buy you love: nor ‘peace of mind, greatness of spirit, serenity, confidence, and self-sufficiency'. Plutarch's fascination with history and biography is also apparent here with some absorbing tales in ‘Sayings of Kings and Commanders', ‘Sayings of Spartan Women' and ‘Bravery of Women'. Taking another tack, he turns his attention to the political sphere in ‘A Philosopher ought to Converse especially with Men in Power'. And he gives advice ‘To an Uneducated Ruler', pointing out that ‘most kings and rulers are so foolish as to act like unskillful sculptors, who think their colossal figures look large and imposing if they are modelled with their feet far apart, their muscles tense, and their mouths wide open' - advice that is just as relevant to rulers in the 21st century. Throughout these essays there is humour, whimsy and wisdom, but above all Plutarch demonstrates an engaging humanity in his survey of man, in all his greatness and his foibles. Matthew Lloyd Davies is an ideal representative. Translations by Richard Shilleto.

Title: Two Treatises of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration Author: John Locke Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 2 minutes Release date: December 18, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: John Locke (1632-1704) was a product of his troubled times: he lived through the English Civil War, the Interregnum, the Restoration, Monmouth's Rebellion, the Bloody Assizes and the Glorious Revolution. His empirical thinking was very much directed at finding rational solutions to the root causes of those troubles. Considered the founder of English empiricism and a precursor of the Enlightenment, his ideas on religious toleration, human rights and limitations on governmental power may seem so normal to us now as to be common sense, so well have they been assimilated by the social psyche; but this was far from being the case when Locke proposed them. The son of a Puritan family - his father fought as a captain of cavalry in the parliamentary army in the English Civil War - Locke was educated at Westminster school and then Oxford University, where he studied medicine and natural philosophy. He became the personal physician to the Earl of Shaftesbury, later the Lord Chancellor and founder of the Whig party. It was probably at Shaftesbury's behest that he produced the Two Treatises Concerning Government. He began work on these in 1679, after travelling extensively in France. But in 1683 he fled to Holland following the failed Rye House Plot, in which he was suspected of having been involved by the authorities. The Two Treatises would not be published until 1689, after the Glorious Revolution. The first treatise is essentially an in-depth critique of Robert Filmer's Patriarcha, a work which argued in favour of the divine right of kings and which was much referred to in the reign of Charles II, mainly by clerics preaching from the pulpit asserting the divine right in support of the monarch. Locke systematically dismantles and invalidates every one of Filmer's assertions, dissecting his arguments one by one, invoking scriptural references in support of his counterarguments and disentangling and clarifying a host of ideas pertaining to the nature and origins of authority. In the second treatise, which is the better known, much more influential and important work, Locke suggests a different account for the origins and nature of government, referring back to the Hobbesian notion of the state of nature postulating three basic natural rights: the right to life, to liberty and to property. Section by section the philosopher examines his subject, lays out his thinking process and explains his conclusions, very different from Hobbes' ideas, articulating a series of beliefs and concepts now germane to government by liberal democracy: the separation of church and state, and of the legislative and executive powers, the doctrine of checks and balances and the labour theory of value being among them. Locke's contention that populations had the justifiable right to overthrow tyrannical governments clearly influenced Thomas Jefferson and played an important part in the American Revolution and the setting up of the Republic. A Letter Concerning Toleration, here translated by William Popple, was originally written in Latin and focuses on the problems of religion and government advocating a philosophy of tolerance among Christians as the solution, albeit with certain qualifications. These seminal Locke works are read with brio by Leighton Pugh.

Title: Two Treatises of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration Author: John Locke Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 2 minutes Release date: December 18, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: John Locke (1632-1704) was a product of his troubled times: he lived through the English Civil War, the Interregnum, the Restoration, Monmouth's Rebellion, the Bloody Assizes and the Glorious Revolution. His empirical thinking was very much directed at finding rational solutions to the root causes of those troubles. Considered the founder of English empiricism and a precursor of the Enlightenment, his ideas on religious toleration, human rights and limitations on governmental power may seem so normal to us now as to be common sense, so well have they been assimilated by the social psyche; but this was far from being the case when Locke proposed them. The son of a Puritan family - his father fought as a captain of cavalry in the parliamentary army in the English Civil War - Locke was educated at Westminster school and then Oxford University, where he studied medicine and natural philosophy. He became the personal physician to the Earl of Shaftesbury, later the Lord Chancellor and founder of the Whig party. It was probably at Shaftesbury's behest that he produced the Two Treatises Concerning Government. He began work on these in 1679, after travelling extensively in France. But in 1683 he fled to Holland following the failed Rye House Plot, in which he was suspected of having been involved by the authorities. The Two Treatises would not be published until 1689, after the Glorious Revolution. The first treatise is essentially an in-depth critique of Robert Filmer's Patriarcha, a work which argued in favour of the divine right of kings and which was much referred to in the reign of Charles II, mainly by clerics preaching from the pulpit asserting the divine right in support of the monarch. Locke systematically dismantles and invalidates every one of Filmer's assertions, dissecting his arguments one by one, invoking scriptural references in support of his counterarguments and disentangling and clarifying a host of ideas pertaining to the nature and origins of authority. In the second treatise, which is the better known, much more influential and important work, Locke suggests a different account for the origins and nature of government, referring back to the Hobbesian notion of the state of nature postulating three basic natural rights: the right to life, to liberty and to property. Section by section the philosopher examines his subject, lays out his thinking process and explains his conclusions, very different from Hobbes' ideas, articulating a series of beliefs and concepts now germane to government by liberal democracy: the separation of church and state, and of the legislative and executive powers, the doctrine of checks and balances and the labour theory of value being among them. Locke's contention that populations had the justifiable right to overthrow tyrannical governments clearly influenced Thomas Jefferson and played an important part in the American Revolution and the setting up of the Republic. A Letter Concerning Toleration, here translated by William Popple, was originally written in Latin and focuses on the problems of religion and government advocating a philosophy of tolerance among Christians as the solution, albeit with certain qualifications.

Title: Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge Author: Karl Popper Narrator: Martyn Swain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 14 minutes Release date: August 13, 2022 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Conjectures and Refutations is one of Karl Popper's most wide-ranging and popular works, notable not only for its acute insights into the way scientific knowledge grows, but also for applying those insights to politics and to history. It provides one of the clearest and most accessible statements of the fundamental idea that guided his work: not only our knowledge but our aims and our standards grow through an unending process of trial and error. Popper brilliantly demonstrates how knowledge grows by guesses or conjectures and tentative solutions, which must then be subjected to critical tests. Although they may survive any number of tests, our conjectures remain conjectures, they can never be established as true. What makes Conjectures and Refutations such an enduring book is that Popper goes on to apply this bold theory of the growth of knowledge to a fascinating range of important problems including the role of tradition, the origin of the scientific method, the demarcation between science and metaphysics, the body-mind problem, the way we use language, how we understand history and the dangers of public opinion. Throughout the book Popper stresses the importance of our ability to learn from our mistakes. Conjectures and Refutations is essential listening and a book to be returned to again and again.

Title: Physics Author: Aristotle Narrator: Peter Wickham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 54 minutes Release date: March 6, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: No less a figure than Bertrand Russell remarked that Aristotle's Physics was ‘extremely influential and dominated science until the time of Galileo'. This was despite the fact that this work is as much a collection of ‘lectures on nature' rather than dealing with the science of physics as we understand the term. Aristotle considers ‘the principles and causes of change, or movement' behind both animate and inanimate things. It is philosophy, not science, but over centuries affected the views of those involved in the ‘natural sciences'. The text emerged from the Lyceum, the school founded by Aristotle, and is accepted to be a compilation of texts, some of which - but perhaps not all - is by Aristotle. Regardless of authorship, its importance is unquestioned. It is divided into eight books (and further divided into shorter chapters) and begins with an examination into change - and Aristotle's main ideas of matter and form. The investigative net is thrown wide to encompass infinity, causation, movement, void, time and continuity. The study concludes in book VIII (the longest book) with a consideration of the universe and its nature - eternal or finite - and questions the existence of gods, God (a Prime Mover figure?) and the continued existence of motion.

Title: Moralia: Volume 1: 26 Ethical Essays Author: Plutarch Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 1 minute Release date: December 20, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Though best known now for his collection of lively and vivid Parallel Lives from ancient Greece and Rome, Plutarch (c46 CD-120 CE) was, for centuries, more respected for his Moralia, a remarkable and wide-ranging collection of essays and speeches. No fewer than 78 in total, they range over a broad list of topics in which Plutarch observes, dispenses wisdom, admonishes, entertains and informs: covering social issues and politics, manners and religion - in short, life in general. In this collection, volume 1 of the Ukemi series, are 26 Ethical Essays, a fascinating compilation, again wide-ranging: 'On Education of Children', 'On Love to One's Offspring', 'On Virtue and Vice', 'On Abundance of Friends', 'On Contentedness of Mind' and many more. It also includes the moving 'Consolatory Letter to His Wife'. Some of Plutarch's views reflect the environment of a highly educated Greek living in the milieu of the first-century Roman Empire ­- his comments on conjugal precepts may raise eyebrows when viewed through a 21st-century prism. But much of what he proposes and concludes is as relevant today as in his own time, and in the time of Montaigne (1533-1592) (who regarded the Moralia very highly), and in succeeding centuries. Matthew Lloyd Davies presents Plutarch sympathetically, making these essays eminently absorbing. Selection and translation by Richard Shilleto.

Title: A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities Author: Pierre-Simon Laplace Narrator: Charles Armstrong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 3 minutes Release date: July 8, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Pierre-Simon, Marquis de Laplace (1749-1827) is often described as the ‘French Newton', though he lived a century later. His working life took him through the French Revolution, the Napoleonic era – during which he enjoyed various political positions – and afterwards, to the Bourbon Restoration. But his overriding importance was his contribution to science, with a remarkable range of interest and expertise including engineering, mathematics, statistics, physics, astronomy and philosophy. One of his most enduring works is recorded here – A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities (1825). As he explains in his opening introduction: 'This philosophical essay is the development of a lecture on probabilities which I delivered in 1795 to the normal schools whither I had been called, by a decree of the national convention, as professor of mathematics with Lagrange. I have recently published upon the same subject a work entitled The Analytical Theory of Probabilities. I present here without the aid of analysis the principles and general results of this theory, applying them to the most important questions of life, which are indeed for the most part only problems of probability'. The Essay comprises 18 chapters, including ‘General Principles of the Calculus of Probabilities', ‘Application of the Calculus of Probabilities to the Moral Sciences' and ‘Concerning Tables of Mortality and the Mean Durations of Life, Marriage and Some Associations'. He considers the ratio of the birth of boys to girls, he looks at probabilities behind risk when applied to the (increasingly widespread acceptance of) smallpox inoculation discovered by Edward Jenner, he discusses probabilities in games of chance, the reliability of witnesses in jury trials and the fluctuations of tides. He even applies it to the range of feeling in animals analogous to humans. The Essay is clear and generally accessible, but also surprising in that the personality of Laplace himself shines through – a brilliant polymath and mathematician who nevertheless lived fully engaged in the everyday world.
