Title: Marx in Motion: A New Materialist Marxism Author: Thomas Nail Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 0 minutes Release date: October 27, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Karl Marx is the most historically foundational and systematic critic of capitalism to date, and the years since the 2008 financial crisis have witnessed a rebirth of his popular appeal. In a world of rising income inequality, right-wing nationalisms, and global climate change, people are again looking to the father of modern socialism for answers. As this book argues, every era since Marx's death has reinvented him to fit its needs. There is not one Marx forever and for all time. There are a thousand Marxes. As Thomas Nail contends, one of the most significant contributions of Marx's work is that it treats theory itself as a historical practice. Reading Marx is not just an interpretative activity but a creative one. As our historical conditions change, so do the kinds of questions we pose and the kinds of answers we find in Marx's writing. This book is a return to the writings of Karl Marx, including his under-appreciated dissertation, through the lens of the pressing philosophical and political problems of our time: ecological crisis, gender inequality, colonialism, and global mobility. However, the aim of this book is not to make Marxism relevant by 'applying' it to contemporary issues. Instead, Marx in Motion, the first new materialist interpretation of Marx's work, treats Capital as if it were already a response to the present.

Title: Philosophical Method: A Very Short Introduction Author: Timothy Williamson Narrator: Roger Clark Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 50 minutes Release date: October 1, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What are philosophers trying to achieve? How can they succeed? Does philosophy make progress? Is it in competition with science, or doing something completely different, or neither? Timothy Williamson tackles some of the key questions surrounding philosophy in new and provocative ways, showing how philosophy begins in common sense curiosity, and develops through our capacity to dispute rationally with each other. Discussing philosophy's ability to clarify our thoughts, he explains why such clarification depends on the development of philosophical theories, and how those theories can be tested by imaginative thought experiments, and compared against each other by standards similar to those used in the natural and social sciences. He also shows how logical rigor can be understood as a way of enhancing the explanatory power of philosophical theories. Drawing on the history of philosophy to provide a track record of philosophical thinking's successes and failures, Williamson overturns widely held dogmas about the distinctive nature of philosophy in comparison to the sciences, demystifies its methods, and considers the future of the discipline. From thought experiments, to deduction, to theories, this Very Short Introduction will cause you to totally rethink what philosophy is.

Title: Lost in Thought: The Hidden Pleasures of an Intellectual Life Author: Zena Hitz Narrator: Emily Ellet Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 22 minutes Release date: September 29, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In an overloaded, superficial, technological world, in which almost everything and everybody is judged by its usefulness, where can we turn for escape, lasting pleasure, contemplation, or connection to others? While many forms of leisure meet these needs, Zena Hitz writes, few experiences are so fulfilling as the inner life, whether that of a bookworm, an amateur astronomer, a birdwatcher, or someone who takes a deep interest in one of countless other subjects. Drawing on inspiring examples, from Socrates and Augustine to Malcolm X and Elena Ferrante, and from films to Hitz's own experiences as someone who walked away from elite university life in search of greater fulfillment, Lost in Thought is a passionate and timely reminder that a rich life is a life rich in thought. Today, when even the humanities are often defended only for their economic or political usefulness, Hitz says our intellectual lives are valuable not despite but because of their practical uselessness. And while anyone can have an intellectual life, she encourages academics in particular to get back in touch with the desire to learn for its own sake, and calls on universities to return to the person-to-person transmission of the habits of mind and heart that bring out the best in us.

Title: The Real Nature of Time: An Analysis of Physics, Prophecy, and Time Travel Experiences Author: Martin K. Ettington Narrator: Martin K. Ettington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 8 minutes Release date: July 13, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The real nature of time is still a mystery after thousands of years of philosophers and scientists analyzing it and generating theories about time. Prophecy has existed for most of humanity’s time on Earth and there is a lot of reason to think that seeing the future does see some of what happens. I also wrote two books on this subject including the history of prophecy and my own experiences. The titles include “Prophecy: A History and How to Guide” and “Use Intuition and Prophecy to Improve Your Life-By an Adept” In the twentieth century Albert Einstein gave the world his Theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity. He gave us a new way to view time in the world. The result of his analysis of time, space, and gravity has affected our scientific understanding about the world and Universe we live in. This interests me because I studied Physics before switching to Engineering in my Junior Year at University. Then there are people who claim to have had time travel experiences. I found enough of these stories for my book titled “Real Time Travel Stories from a Psychic Engineer”. With all that I’ve learned from my studies of Physics, my prophecy experiences, and research on real time travel stories this is my effort to try to integrate all of this information together. I hope you will find this book interesting and it will provoke your thinking. Martin K.

Title: Whiskey and Philosophy: A Small Batch of Spirited Ideas Author: Marcus P. Adams, Fritz Allhoff Narrator: Ryan Desrosiers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 20 minutes Release date: August 25, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Everyone becomes a philosopher with a drink in hand, but Whiskey and Philosophy takes this natural pairing to a new level. From the first reference to Scotch in 1494 in the records of King James IV of Scotland to Hillary Clinton tossing back that famous shot of Crown Royal during the 2008 campaign, this spirited book captures the history of whiskey, its various forms, and its associated philosophical issues through engaging and accessible reflections written by philosophers, academics, journalists, and whiskey specialists. Exploring the aesthetics, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics of whiskey as well as everything from geographical origin to stylistic differences between whiskey and Scotch, Whiskey and Philosophy will teach you things that are both practical (how do tasting notes vary across guides and whiskey brands?) and thought provoking (why is there the popular conception that drinking whiskey makes people mean, and is it true?). Whether you prefer your whiskey neat or in a Manhattan, from the United States, Scotland, or elsewhere, Whiskey and Philosophy is your perfect drinking companion. Marcus P.

Adams, Fritz Allhoff Narrator: Ryan Desrosiers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 20 minutes Release date: August 25, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Everyone becomes a philosopher with a drink in hand, but Whiskey and Philosophy takes this natural pairing to a new level. From the first reference to Scotch in 1494 in the records of King James IV of Scotland to Hillary Clinton tossing back that famous shot of Crown Royal during the 2008 campaign, this spirited book captures the history of whiskey, its various forms, and its associated philosophical issues through engaging and accessible reflections written by philosophers, academics, journalists, and whiskey specialists. Exploring the aesthetics, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics of whiskey as well as everything from geographical origin to stylistic differences between whiskey and Scotch, Whiskey and Philosophy will teach you things that are both practical (how do tasting notes vary across guides and whiskey brands?) and thought provoking (why is there the popular conception that drinking whiskey makes people mean, and is it true?). Whether you prefer your whiskey neat or in a Manhattan, from the United States, Scotland, or elsewhere, Whiskey and Philosophy is your perfect drinking companion. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/445703 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/445703]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Being Evil: A Philosophical Perspective Author: Luke Russell Narrator: James Cameron Stewart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 26 minutes Release date: December 29, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: We regularly encounter appalling wrongdoing, with the media offering a depressing parade of violent assault, rape, and murder. Yet sometimes even the cynical and world-weary amongst us are taken aback. Sometimes we confront a crime so terrible, so horrendous, so deeply wrong, that we reach for the word evil. The 9/11 terrorist attacks were not merely wrong, but evil. A serial killer who tortures their victims is not merely a bad person. They are evil. And as the Holocaust showed us, we must remain vigilant against the threat of evil. But what exactly is it? If we use the word evil, are we buying into a naive Manichean worldview, in which two cosmic forces of good and evil are pitted against one another? Are we guilty of demonizing our enemies? How does evil go beyond what is merely bad or wrong? This book explores the answers that philosophers have offered to these questions. Luke Russell discusses why some philosophers think that evil is a myth or a fantasy, while others think that evil is real. Along the way he asks whether evil is always horrific and incomprehensible, or if it can be banal. Considering if there is a special psychological hallmark that sets the evildoers apart from the rest of us, Russell also engages with ongoing discussions over psychopathy and empathy, analyzing the psychology behind evildoing.

Title: The Non-Existence of the Real World Author: Jan Westerhoff Narrator: Liam Gerrard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 45 minutes Release date: October 13, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Does the real world, defined as a world of objects that exist independent of human interests, concerns, and cognitive activities, really exist? Jan Westerhoff argues that we have good reason to believe it does not. His discussion considers four main facets of the idea of the real world, ranging from the existence of a separate external and internal world (comprising various mental states congregated around a self), to the existence of an ontological foundation that grounds the existence of all the entities in the world, and the existence of an ultimately true theory that provides a final account of all there is. As Westerhoff discusses the reasons for rejecting the postulation of an external world behind our representations, he asserts that the internal world is not as epistemically transparent as is usually assumed, and that there are good reasons for adopting an anti-foundational account of ontological dependence. Drawing on conclusions from the ancient Indian philosophical system of Madhyamaka Buddhism, Westerhoff defends his stance in a purely Western philosophical framework, and affirms that ontology, and philosophy more generally, need not be conceived as providing an ultimately true theory of the world.

Title: Little Platoons: A Defense of Family in a Competitive Age Author: Matt Feeney Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 11 minutes Release date: March 9, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This eye-opening book brilliantly explores the true roots of over-parenting, and makes a case for the vital importance of family life. Parents naturally worry about the future. They want to prepare their children to compete in an uncertain world. But often, argues political philosopher and father of three Matt Feeney, today's worried parents surrender their family's autonomy to gain a leg up in this competition. In the American ideal, family life is a sacred and private sphere, distinct from the outside world. But in our hypercompetitive times, Feeney shows, parents have become increasingly willing to let the inner life of the family be colonized by outside forces that promise better futures for their kids: prestigious preschools, "educational" technologies, youth sports leagues, a multitude of enrichment activities, and -- most of all -- college. A provocative, eye-opening book for any parent who suspects their kids' stuffed schedules are not serving their best interests, Little Platoons calls us to rediscover the distinctive, profound solidarity of family life.

Title: A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence Author: Jeff Hawkins Narrator: Richard Dawkins, Jamie Renell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.48 of Total 48 Ratings of Narrator: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A bestselling author, neuroscientist, and computer engineer unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI. For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world—not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.

Title: A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence Author: Jeff Hawkins Narrator: Richard Dawkins, Jamie Renell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.48 of Total 48 Ratings of Narrator: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A bestselling author, neuroscientist, and computer engineer unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI. For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world—not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.

Title: The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World Author: Elaine Scarry Narrator: Joyce Bean Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 32 minutes Release date: January 5, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Elaine Scarry bases her study on a wide range of sources: literature and art, medical case histories, documents on torture compiled by Amnesty International, legal transcripts of personal injury trials, and military and strategic writings by such figures as Clausewitz, Churchill, Liddell Hart, and Kissinger, She weaves these into her discussion with an eloquence, humanity, and insight that recall the writings of Hannah Arendt and Jean-Paul Sartre. Scarry begins with the fact of pain's inexpressibility. Not only is physical pain enormously difficult to describe in words—confronted with it, Virginia Woolf once noted, 'language runs dry'—it also actively destroys language, reducing sufferers in the most extreme instances to an inarticulate state of cries and moans. Scarry analyzes the political ramifications of deliberately inflicted pain, specifically in the cases of torture and warfare, and shows how to be fictive. From these actions of 'unmaking' Scarry turns finally to the actions of 'making'—the examples of artistic and cultural creation that work against pain and the debased uses that are made of it. Challenging and inventive, The Body in Pain is landmark work that promises to spark widespread debate.

Title: What's New with Atheism? The Thoughtful Person's Guide to Understanding Non-Belief Author: Robert Lawrence Kuhn Narrator: Robert L. Kuhn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 21 minutes Release date: June 19, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Have you ever wondered what's "new" about New Atheism? Coined in 2006, the term New Atheism has been used to describe the shared sentiments of prominent 21st-century atheists - perhaps most notably the "Four Horsemen" and talk-show host Bill Maher. In popular perception, the term has also garnered a negative connotation - implying hostility towards religion at large. Now, in this series of 14 one-on-one interviews, you have the rare opportunity to listen in on conversations with some of the leading actors in New Atheism, including Anthony A. C. Grayling of New College of the Humanities (London) and "Horseman" Daniel Clement Dennett III of Tufts University. Over the course of the interviews, you'll evaluate some of the most fundamental questions posed by non-believers: Is religion irrational? Does religion have a propensity to lead to violence? Has science superseded the need for God? In other words, have advances in science simply made belief in God unnecessary by accounting for things that mystified our more primitive ancestors? On the whole, the interviews are light-hearted and jocular. Your host, Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn, is practiced in the art of playing devil's advocate and fostering discussion. By the end of the series, you will gain insight into all of the usual arguments for and against the existence of God. Discover for yourself how New Atheism has fueled a healthy cultural conversation around belief and non-belief. This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

Title: Atheism: A Christian's Guide to Understanding Unbelief Author: Joseph J. Godfrey Narrator: Joseph J. Godfrey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 8 minutes Release date: August 4, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: How can a Christian understand unbelief? Answer your biggest questions about atheism with this thoughtful and balanced course.   For much of Western history, belief in God seemed universal. As society has grown more secular, however, people have increasingly expressed disbelief in God. Today, a quarter of Americans are religiously unaffiliated, with many identifying as atheists. As the number of atheists has grown, so too have debates around the legitimacy of religion. Too often, these debates have been marked by misunderstanding on both sides. This audio course aims to bridge the gap by helping believers and non-believers engage in thoughtful and illuminating dialogue.   Presented by Fr. Joseph Godfrey, a leading professor on the philosophy of religion, these lectures are both analytical and sensitive. Before becoming a Catholic priest, Fr. Godfrey engaged in an intensive study of the writings of atheists such as Nietzsche, Sartre, and Marx. By challenging his belief with such readings—along with writings on atheism from Christians such as Aquinas and Karl Rahner—he gained an enduring respect for atheist reasoning even as he affirmed his own faith.   In these eye-opening lectures, you will explore the different forms of atheism and scientific theories used to support the nonexistence of God. In the process, you will gain a deeper understanding of evidential arguments against God while also considering how such evidence does not necessarily block paths to belief.

Title: Is Our Will Truly Free? Author: Robert Lawrence Kuhn Narrator: Robert Lawrence Kuhn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 21 minutes Release date: November 16, 2018 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Acclaimed brain scientist and host Robert Kuhn invites you to join world-leading philosophers and scientists: Christof Koch, Chief Scientist of the Allen Brain Institute, Ned Block of NYU, Peter van Inwagen of Notre Dame, and Daniel Clement Dennett III of Tufts, and many more. In this series, you'll explore one of humanity's most profound questions: Do you create your own destiny? Or does the universe deal you a hand that you have to play with? As you explore competing philosophies, you will find that every answer raises fascinating new questions about morality, fate, consciousness, and the existence of a higher power. Recent neuroscientific discoveries only fan the flames of the philosophical debate. Most scientific thought is predicated on the assumption that every action is determined by a prior action. But if that's true, what does it imply about free will? In this series of three episodes, host Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn welcomes a total of 18 guest experts to discuss free will. Each episode is crafted as a series of one-on-one interviews. The implications of this debate are far-reaching and potentially paradigm-shifting. Now is your chance to unpack the details with the greatest minds the world has to offer. This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

David Collins, S. J. in an amazing tour of Western Civilization. Where did our modern notions about God, science and humanity come from? Begin in the Mediterranean world of late Antiquity with the decline of Rome and the ascent of Christianity. Explore vigorous Christian debates over the appropriation of pagan thought along with the implications of these debates for medieval thinking.

Kuhn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 21 minutes Release date: March 22, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Does God exist? How do you justify your belief or unbelief to others? A delicate matter, you rarely have the occasion to fully explore these questions in daily life. Now, this special series invites you to join some of the world's leading thinkers in the serious civil conversation you crave. Daring to ask the big questions, your host, Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn, holds 18 riveting one-on-one interviews with the leading figures of our day. As you listen to these discussions about the existence of God, you will probe compelling questions. Does belief in God really need to be justified? How does God make Himself known? What are the most persuasive arguments atheists put forward? How have believers refuted those arguments, and how successfully? A gifted moderator, Dr. Kuhn creates equilibrium through his even-handed questions and eagerness to give everyone a seat at the table. You'll hear from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim philosophers as well as prominent atheists. Topping the chart of Christian philosophers are Alvin Plantinga and Peter van Inwagen, both professors at the University of Notre Dame. From the atheistic camp you'll meet Daniel Clement Dennett III-one of the contrarian "Four Horsemen of New Atheism"-and the founder of The Skeptics Society, Michael Brant Shermer. From the problem of evil to the Freudian notion of wish fulfillment, these three episodes will engage your mind and your heart in some of the most profoundly important questions ever asked.

Title: Can Brain Explain Mind? Author: Robert Lawrence Kuhn Narrator: Robert Lawrence Kuhn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 21 minutes Release date: September 10, 2018 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Can our physical brains fully explain the phenomenon of our minds? The same question that Descartes pondered in the 17th century continues to fascinate philosophers, theologians, and scientists in the 21st. Now, in this engaging three-part series, your host, Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn, conducts wide-ranging interviews with 13 leading experts about the relationship between brain and mind. Each episode is crafted as a series of one-on-one interviews that respond to the title question. Can Brain Explain Mind? features an impressive array of authorities on neuroscience and philosophy, but two in particular stand out: Christof Koch and John Rogers Searle. In some ways, American neuroscientist Christof Koch and American philosopher John Rogers Searle embody two sides of the same coin. Since the early 1990s, Koch has studied consciousness as a scientifically tractable problem. Meanwhile Searle - a prolific and award-winning writer - is noted for his groundbreaking contributions to the philosophies of language, mind, and society. This series gives them the floor. You'll hear in-depth and balanced arguments from men who have staked their careers on their reasoning. The range of experts, let alone the accomplishments of each, is too much to list here. But listen up for Google's Director of Engineering and for the late Marvin Lee Minsky (1927-2016), who co-founded MIT's AI laboratory (where the aforementioned Christof Koch worked after earning his doctorate in nonlinear information processing). Now is your chance to explore the most pressing questions of this day in age with a chorus of leading experts.

Title: The Unbroken Thread: Discovering the Wisdom of Tradition in an Age of Chaos Author: Sohrab Ahmari Narrator: Sohrab Ahmari Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 59 minutes Release date: May 11, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: We’ve pursued and achieved the modern dream of defining ourselves—but at what cost? An influential columnist and editor makes a compelling case for seeking the inherited traditions and ideals that give our lives meaning. “Ahmari’s tour de force makes tradition astonishingly vivid and relevant for the here and now.”—Rod Dreher, bestselling author of Live Not by Lies and The Benedict Option As a young father and a self-proclaimed “radically assimilated immigrant,” opinion editor Sohrab Ahmari realized that when it comes to shaping his young son’s moral fiber, today’s America is woefully lacking. For millennia, the world’s great ethical and religious traditions have taught that true happiness lies in pursuing virtue and accepting limits. But now, unbound from these stubborn traditions, we are free to choose whichever way of life we think is most optimal—or, more often than not, merely the easiest. All that remains are the fickle desires that a wealthy, technologically advanced society is equipped to fulfill. The result is a society riven by deep conflict and individual lives that, for all their apparent freedom, are marked by alienation and stark unhappiness. In response to this crisis, Ahmari offers twelve questions for us to grapple with—twelve timeless, fundamental queries that challenge our modern certainties. Among them: Is God reasonable? What is freedom for? What do we owe our parents, our bodies, one another? Exploring each question through the lives and ideas of great thinkers, from Saint Augustine to Howard Thurman and from Abraham Joshua Heschel to Andrea Dworkin, Ahmari invites us to examine the hidden assumptions that drive our behavior and, in doing so, to live more humanely in a world that has lost its way.

Title: On Clemency Author: Seneca Narrator: Robin Homer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 30 minutes Release date: June 11, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: On Clemency is a two volume (incomplete) hortatory essay written in 55–56 CE by Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, to the emperor Nero in the first five years of his reign. From Seneca's remarks, it would appear that it was written after Nero had turned eighteen, which would place it after the murder of his rival Britannicus in 55 AD. It may therefore have been written partly as an apology, perhaps as a means of assuring the Roman nobility that the murder would be the end, not the beginning of bloodshed. The work survives in a fragmentary state. Of an original three books, only the first and the beginning of the second survive Translation by Aubrey Stewart Seneca Thu, 11 Jun 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/442992 thebookvoice.com 1:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/442992]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Holy Spirit: Audio Lectures Series: Part of Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures Author: Christopher R. J. Holmes Narrator: Christopher Holmes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 37 minutes Release date: February 9, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, The Holy Spirit: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. Who is the Holy Spirit and how does the Spirit come to be in relation to the Father and the Son? What is the mission of the Spirit and where does it come from? Scholar and author Chris Holmes takes up the questions surrounding the Spirit's procession and mission with the help of three of the church’s greatest teachers--Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Karl Barth. Drawing on their engagements with the Fourth Gospel, Holmes presents an account of the Spirit's identity, origin, and acts to show how the acts of the Spirit derive from the Spirit’s life in relation to Father and Son--and the extent to which the Spirit’s mission testifies to the Spirit's origin. Alongside The Holy Spirit book, The Holy Spirit: Audio Lectures presents a way forward for pneumatology. Housed within the doctrine of the Trinity, pneumatology's joyful task is to describe the Spirit's acts among us in light of their source in the Spirit's acts in God. The end of this inquiry is our beatitude--knowledge of the Trinity that yields to love of the Trinity. Christopher R. J.

Title: Escape From Reason Author: Francis A. Schaeffer Narrator: Claton Butcher Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 44 minutes Release date: June 16, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Truth used to be based on reason. No more. What we feel is now the truest source of reality. Despite our obsession with the emotive and the experiential, we still face anxiety, despair, and purposelessness. How did we get here? And where do we find a remedy? In this modern classic, Francis A. Schaeffer traces trends in twentieth-century thought and unpacks how key ideas have shaped our society. Wide-ranging in his analysis, Schaeffer examines philosophy, science, art, and popular culture to identify dualism, fragmentation, and the decline of reason. Schaeffer's work takes on a newfound relevance today in his prescient anticipation of the contemporary postmodern ethos. His critique demonstrates Christianity's promise for a new century, one in as much need as ever of purpose and hope. Francis A.

Title: [German] - Der Weg des Tigers - Erkenne und nutze deine innere Kraft (Gekürzte Fassung) Author: Bernhard Moestl Narrator: Herbert Schäfer Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 44 minutes Release date: November 21, 2013 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Wer von uns könnte spontan auf diese Frage antworten: Worin bist Du richtig gut? Leider können wir unsere Mitmenschen oft besser einschätzen als uns selbst. Ihre Stärken sehen wir wie auch ihre Fehler. Doch nach eigenen Stärken gefragt, fällt uns die Antwort schwer. Wer sich aber selbst nicht kennt, der gerät leicht in einen Strudel aus Überstunden, Stress und gesellschaftlichen Zwängen - und geht unter. Ausgehend von der asiatischen Einsicht, dass alle Kraft von Innen kommt, kann uns Bestsellerautor und Coach Bernhard Moestl einen Zugang eröffnen zu unseren wirklichen Stärken. Denn nur wer - wie der Tiger - die eigene Kraft kennengelernt hat, kann sie auch nutzen. Der kann selbstbewusst und mit gesundem Selbstwertgefühl handeln.

Title: Every Human Intention: Japan in the New Century Author: Dreux Richard Narrator: Dreux Richard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 21 minutes Release date: February 23, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A stunning blend of investigative journalism, authoritative science writing, and embedded ethnography. Every Human Intention captures the unsettling, lyrical beauty of the intimate moments and buried secrets that form Japan’s national drama. “An absolute marvel. Reveals the inner workings of modern-day Japan like no other work of literary nonfiction I have read, and does so with the smooth story-telling expertise of a novelist.”—Richard Wiley, author of Soldiers in Hiding Every Human Intention takes us beyond political debates and news analysis, into the infinite complexity of historically significant events as they unfold. Admitted to the innermost corridors of Japan’s bureaucracy, Richard witnesses the near-collapse of the nation’s nuclear regulator and meticulously documents the way this upheaval is concealed from the public. Through his decade-long relationship with Japan’s Nigerian community, he pursues the elaborate cover-up at the heart of Japan’s immigration system. On the nation’s northern border, he follows the region’s youngest census worker through a landscape of abandoned homes and vanishing lives. In Richard’s poised narration, there are no simple answers or elegant conclusions—only the unsettling, lyrical beauty of the intimate moments and buried secrets that form Japan’s national drama.

Damasio has succeeded brilliantly in narrowing the gap between body and mind.” —The New York Times Book Review In recent decades, many philosophers and cognitive scientists have declared the problem of consciousness unsolvable, but Antonio Damasio is convinced that recent findings across multiple scientific disciplines have given us  a way to understand consciousness and its significance for human life.   In the forty-eight brief chapters of Feeling & Knowing, and in writing that remains faithful to our intuitive sense of what feeling and experiencing are about, Damasio helps us understand why being conscious is not the same as sensing, why nervous systems are essential for the development of feelings, and why feeling opens the way to consciousness writ large. He combines the latest discoveries in various sciences with philosophy and discusses his original research, which has transformed our understanding of the brain and human behavior.   Here is an indispensable guide to understand­ing how we experience the world within and around us and find our place in the universe.

Title: A Passion for Ignorance: What We Choose Not to Know and Why Author: Renata Salecl Narrator: Lisa Coleman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 28 minutes Release date: September 29, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This provocative audiobook narrated by Lisa Coleman explores our capacity to ignore what is inconvenient or traumatic Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and falsehood and, as a result, there has been a backlash against the idea of expertise, and a rise in the number of people actively choosing not to know. The dangers of this are obvious, but Salecl challenges our assumptions, arguing that there may also be a positive side to ignorance, and that by addressing the role of ignorance in society, we may also be able to reclaim the role of knowledge. Drawing on philosophy, social and psychoanalytic theory, popular culture, and her own experience, Salecl explores how the passion for ignorance plays out in many different aspects of life today, from love, illness, trauma, and the fear of failure to genetics, forensic science, big data, and the incel movement—and she concludes that ignorance is a complex phenomenon that can, on occasion, benefit individuals and society as a whole. The result is a fascinating investigation of how the knowledge economy became an ignorance economy, what it means for us, and what it tells us about the world today.

Sire Narrator: David Cochran Heath Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: January 5, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: For more than forty years, The Universe Next Door has set the standard for a clear, readable introduction to worldviews. Using his widely influential model of eight basic worldview questions, James Sire examines prominent worldviews that have shaped the Western world: theism, deism, naturalism, Marxism, nihilism, existentialism, Eastern monism, New Age philosophy, postmodernism, and Islam. Intertwined with this analysis, Sire presents an overview of intellectual history giving insight into the current state of Western thought and culture. Critiquing each worldview within its own frame of reference and in comparison to others, Sire encourages listeners to wrestle with life's biggest questions and examine the core beliefs and commitments on which they are building their lives. The sixth edition, updated by Sire's longtime editor Jim Hoover, features a chapter on challenges to a Christian worldview in the twenty-first century. New discussion questions will help listeners reflect more deeply on the ideas in each chapter.

Title: One Long River of Song: Notes on Wonder Author: Brian Doyle Narrator: Joseph Doyle, Lily Doyle, Liam Doyle, Mary Doyle, George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 23 minutes Release date: August 18, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A playful and moving book of essays by a "born storyteller" (Seattle Times) who invites us into the miraculous and transcendent moments of the everyday When Brian Doyle passed away at the age of sixty after a bout with brain cancer, he left behind a cult-like following of devoted readers who regard his writing as one of the best-kept secrets of the twenty-first century. Doyle writes with a delightful sense of wonder about the sanctity of everyday things, and about love and connection in all their forms: spiritual love, brotherly love, romantic love, and even the love of a nine-foot sturgeon. At a moment when the world can sometimes feel darker than ever, Doyle's writing, which constantly evokes the humor and even bliss that life affords, is a balm. His essays manage to find, again and again, exquisite beauty in the quotidian, whether it's the awe of a child the first time she hears a river, or a husband's whiskers that a grieving widow misses seeing in her sink every morning. Through Doyle's eyes, nothing is dull. David James Duncan sums up Doyle's sensibilities best in his introduction to the collection: "Brian Doyle lived the pleasure of bearing daily witness to quiet glories hidden in people, places and creatures of little or no size, renown, or commercial value, and he brought inimitably playful or soaring or aching or heartfelt language to his tellings." A life's work, One Long River of Song invites readers to experience joy and wonder in ordinary moments that become, under Doyle's rapturous and exuberant gaze, extraordinary.

Title: The Third Harmony: Nonviolence and the New Story of Human Nature Author: Michael N Nagler Narrator: Pramila Jayapal, Michael N. Nagler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 33 minutes Release date: March 31, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In the latest fruit of a brilliant career, Michael Nagler argues that nonviolence-not just as a tactic but as a way of being-is the only way to unite deeply divided people and enable progressive movements and leaders of all stripes to fulfil their promise and potential. That the world needs to take a substantially new direction, and quickly, is no longer controversial for any thoughtful person. A whole new way of seeing the world and our role in its destiny is called for. It's what Michael Nagler and others call the New Story. It rejects the mechanical, capitalist narrative that pits humans against each other and instead turns to a connected and collaborative vision of the future. The final missing piece of the New Story is what Nagler has termed the Third Harmony in human nature: nonviolence. Nonviolence is the only method compatible with the New Story's content and the only power strong enough to move the heart toward this deep and revolutionary change. This book focuses on how a shift to a nonviolence mind-set can be integrated into the very foundations of our understanding of humanity and community, not just on how nonviolence works as a protest tactic.

Title: The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good? Author: Michael J. Sandel Narrator: Michael J. Sandel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: September 10, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 6 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. These are dangerous times for democracy. We live in an age of winners and losers, where the odds are stacked in favour of the already fortunate. Stalled social mobility and entrenched inequality give the lie to the promise that 'you can make it if you try'. And the consequence is a brew of anger and frustration that has fuelled populist protest, with the triumph of Brexit and election of Donald Trump. Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the polarized politics of our time, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalisation and rising inequality. Sandel highlights the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgement it imposes on those left behind. He offers an alternative way of thinking about success - more attentive to the role of luck in human affairs, more conducive to an ethic of humility, and more hospitable to a politics of the common good. © Michael J.

Title: Real Time Travel Stories From a Psychic Engineer Author: Martin K. Ettington Narrator: Martin K. Ettington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 55 minutes Release date: May 18, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: There are many unusual stories of persons seeing the future, and some who have seen the past. Some stories seem to show that persons have actually visited the past and interacted with the people they met. I’ve had many paranormal experiences myself and visions of the future which I wrote about in two of my own books. I’m also an Engineer and think this gives me a pretty unique perspective about these phenomena. In this book you will read about many different researched cases of people visiting both the past and the future. From the evidence, this seems to be a much more common occurrence than was previously thought. There is also a chapter on theories of how these phenomena might exist. That these might be a type of paranormal experience and/or involve existing time warps. The world is truly much stranger than we can even imagine. I hope you enjoy these stories and they give you lots of food for thought. Martin K.

Title: Grandstanding: The Use and Abuse of Moral Talk Author: Justin Tosi, Brandon Warmke Narrator: Christopher Grove Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 4, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: We are all guilty of it. We call people terrible names in conversation or online. We vilify those with whom we disagree, and make bolder claims than we could defend. We want to be seen as taking the moral high ground not just to make a point, or move a debate forward, but to look a certain way—incensed, or compassionate, or committed to a cause. We exaggerate. In other words, we grandstand. Nowhere is this more evident than in public discourse today, and especially as it plays out across the internet. To philosophers Justin Tosi and Brandon Warmke, who have written extensively about moral grandstanding, such one-upmanship is not just annoying, but dangerous. As politics gets more and more polarized, people on both sides of the spectrum move further and further apart when they let grandstanding get in the way of engaging one another. Drawing from work in psychology, economics, and political science, and along with contemporary examples spanning the political spectrum, the authors dive deeply into why and how we grandstand. Using the analytic tools of psychology and moral philosophy, they explain what drives us to behave in this way, and what we stand to lose by taking it too far. Most importantly, they show how, by avoiding grandstanding, we can re-build a public square worth participating in.

Title: Time of the Magicians: Wittgenstein, Benjamin, Cassirer, Heidegger and the Great Decade of Philosophy Author: Wolfram Eilenberger Narrator: Rhett Samuel Price Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 0 minutes Release date: August 18, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The year is 1919. Walter Benjamin flees his overbearing father to scrape a living as a jobbing critic. Ludwig Wittgenstein signs away his inheritance to teach schoolchildren in a provincial Austrian village, seeking spiritual clarity. Martin Heidegger renounces his faith and align his fortunes with the phenomenological school of Edmund Husserl. Ernst Cassirer sketches a new schema of human culture at the back of a cramped Berlin tram. The stage is set for a great intellectual drama, which will unfold over the next decade. The lives and thought of this quartet will converge and intertwine as each gains world historical significance, between them remaking philosophy. Time of the Magicians tells the story of this revolution in Western thought through the remarkable and turbulent lives of its four protagonists, showing philosophy not gifted from on high but worked out in the mess of everyday life, and illuminating their ideas with rare clarity. © Wolfram Eilenberger 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020 Wolfram Eilenberger Tue, 18 Aug 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/436883 thebookvoice.com 13:0:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/436883]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten Author: Immanuel Kant Narrator: Patrick Beck Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 45 minutes Release date: May 10, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) ist bis heute einer der bedeutendsten Philosophen. Die 'Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten' ist eine der wichtigsten Schriften Immanuel Kants. Sie wurde zum ersten Mal im Jahre 1785 gedruckt. Zahlreiche Nachdrucke belegen ihre Aktualität bis in die heutige Zeit. Hier stellt Kant eine wesentliche Regel für sittliches Handeln vor, den kategorischen Imperativ: „Handle nur nach derjenigen Maxime, durch die du zugleich wollen kannst, dass sie ein allgemeines Gesetz werde.“ Diese Regel entwickelt Kant nicht aus den menschlichen Erfahrungen, sondern aus der reinen Vernunft. Sie gilt für alle vernünftigen Wesen, nicht nur für Menschen. Die Folgen seiner Handlungen kann ein Mensch nicht vorhersehen. Wenn er nur um eines Ziels, der Folgen willen, handeln will, so wäre seine Handlung bloß ein Mittel. Immanuel Kant zeigt mit dem kategorischer Imperativ hingegen einen Maßstab für die menschlichen Handlungen, der unabhängig von den möglichen Folgen einer Handlung Geltung besitzt. Dieses Audiobook gibt die Gelegenheit, hörend Kants Entfaltung des kategorischen Imperativs nachzuvollziehen.

Wenn er nur um eines Ziels, der Folgen willen, handeln will, so wäre seine Handlung bloß ein Mittel. Immanuel Kant zeigt mit dem kategorischer Imperativ hingegen einen Maßstab für die menschlichen Handlungen, der unabhängig von den möglichen Folgen einer Handlung Geltung besitzt. Dieses Audiobook gibt die Gelegenheit, hörend Kants Entfaltung des kategorischen Imperativs nachzuvollziehen.

Die 'Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten' ist eine der wichtigsten Schriften Immanuel Kants. Sie wurde zum ersten Mal im Jahre 1785 gedruckt. Zahlreiche Nachdrucke belegen ihre Aktualität bis in die heutige Zeit. Hier stellt Kant eine wesentliche Regel für sittliches Handeln vor, den kategorischen Imperativ: „Handle nur nach derjenigen Maxime, durch die du zugleich wollen kannst, dass sie ein allgemeines Gesetz werde.“ Diese Regel entwickelt Kant nicht aus den menschlichen Erfahrungen, sondern aus der reinen Vernunft. Sie gilt für alle vernünftigen Wesen, nicht nur für Menschen. Die Folgen seiner Handlungen kann ein Mensch nicht vorhersehen.

HBO's Westworld, a high-concept cerebral television series which explores the emergence of artificial consciousness at a futuristic amusement park, raises numerous questions about the nature of consciousness and its bearing on the divide between authentic and artificial life. Are our choices our own? What is the relationship between the mind and the body? Why do violent delights have violent ends? Could machines ever have the moral edge over man? Does consciousness create humanity, or humanity consciousness? In Westworld and Philosophy, philosophers, filmmakers, scientists, activists, and ethicists ask the questions you're not supposed to ask and suggest the answers you're not supposed to know. There's a deeper level to this game, and this book charts a course through the maze of the mind, examining how we think about humans, hosts, and the world around us on a journey toward self-actualization. Essays explore different facets of the show's philosophical puzzles, including the nature of autonomy as well as the pursuit of liberation and free thought, while levying a critical eye at the human example as Westworld's hosts ascend to their apotheosis in a world scarred and defined by violent acts. unknown Tue, 28 Jul 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/436135 thebookvoice.com 9:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/436135]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Tales from the Ant World Author: Edward O. Wilson Narrator: Jonathan Hogan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 24 minutes Release date: August 25, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 6 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Edward O. Wilson recalls his lifetime with ants, from his first boyhood encounters in the woods of Alabama to perilous journeys into the Brazilian rainforest.“Ants are the most warlike of all animals, with colony pitted against colony,” writes Edward O. Wilson, one of the world’s most beloved scientists. “Their clashes dwarf Waterloo and Gettysburg.” In Tales from the Ant World, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Wilson takes us on a myrmecological tour to such far-flung destinations as Mozambique and New Guinea, the Gulf of Mexico’s Dauphin Island, and even his parent’s overgrown urban backyard, thrillingly relating his nine-decade-long scientific obsession with many of the Earth’s more than 15,000 ant species.Animating his scientific observations with illuminating personal stories, Wilson homes in on twenty-five ant species to explain how these genetically superior creatures talk, smell, and taste, and more significantly, belong to colonies that fight to determine dominance. Wryly observing that “males are little more than flying sperm missiles” or that ants send their “old ladies” into battle, Wilson eloquently relays his brushes with fire, army, and leafcutter ants, as well as more exotic species. Among them are the very rare matabele, Africa’s fiercest warrior ants, whose female hunters can carry up to fifteen termites in their jaw (and, as Wilson reports from personal experience, have an incredibly painful stinger); Costa Rica’s Basiceros, the slowest of all ants; and New Caledonia’s bull ants, the most endangered of them all, which Wilson discovered in 2011 after over twenty years of presumed extinction.Tales from the Ant World is a fascinating, if not occasionally hair-raising, personal account by one of our greatest scientists and a necessary volume for any lover of the natural world.

Title: The Book of Exodus 101: How to Read and Understand the Story of God's Deliverance Author: Michael D. Guinan Narrator: Michael D. Guinan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 57 minutes Release date: June 17, 2010 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Fr. Guinan's award-winning Old Testament lectures are enjoyed by listeners in over 30 countries. No other book of the Bible has captured the hearts, minds, and imaginations of people through three millennia as vividly as Exodus. With stories of a prophet rescued from a basket on the river, the parting of a sea, and an entire nation wandering in the desert, this book seems made for the movies. Appropriately, some theologians have called the book of Exodus "the most important book in the Bible." It presents the foundation story of Israel as a people and provides the background for much of the New Testament presentation of Jesus. It is a story of liberation and victory over oppression. In this series of 15 lectures, Fr. Guinan will address the oppression of Israelites in Egypt, their lament to God, and Moses' role as hero. Next, Fr. Guinan will guide you through the years the Israelites spent in the desert, their covenant with God, and the Ten Commandments. Then you will examine the account of the building and furnishings of the tabernacle, to which a third of Exodus is dedicated.  After exploring the book, the course concludes with an examination of the historical nature of the text and how the foundational elements of Exodus reverberate throughout the rest of the Bible.

Some people cause harm because they feel too much, whereas others do so because they don't feel much at all. Our genes influence whether we'll respond to an insult with aggression, but so does our culture. So the question might instead be: Why don't more people behave aggressively?   In this engaging 15-lecture course, Prof. DeWall walks you through the briar patch of aggression to answer all your questions about the root causes of hostile behavior. Incorporating vivid case studies and psychological research, the lectures challenge you to reconsider what you think you know about aggression and offer practical tools to prevent it in your daily life.  Listen along with Prof. DeWall today for an in-depth look at this fascinating but troubling aspect of human behavior.

Title: [Spanish] - Así hablo Zaratustra Author: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 27 minutes Release date: May 22, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Zaratustra se presenta como el profeta supremo fuente de sabiduría, un ermitaño que vive recluido en la montaña, donde a lo largo de su retiro reflexiona sobre la vida y la naturaleza del hombre. Cuando siente que es el momento adecuado, decide regresar al mundo para comunicar el fruto de su conocimiento. Así, esta obra narra los discursos que Zaratustra pronuncia entre los hombres para anunciar su nueva doctrina. Escrita en forma de fábula, y haciendo referencia a la Biblia y a la tradición cristiana, Zaratustra es un mesías que lleva al hombre la noticia de su salvación, proclamando el advenimiento del Übermensch o Superhombre. Toda la obra posee un carácter poético y se encuentra llena de símbolos y metáforas, expresadas en un brillante estilo, mezclando elementos narrativos, conceptuales y líricos. Es una obra peculiar que fusiona filosofía, literatura y poesía, y tuvo una profunda influencia en el ámbito cultural europeo del siglo XX. Así, la visión imaginaria del profeta, inspirado en Zoroastro, sirve como portavoz y como símbolo de las principales ideas de Nietzsche, como la muerte de Dios, la voluntad del poder y el eterno retorno de la vida. - Este audiolibro está narrado en Español neutral. - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) fue un filósofo, poeta, músico y filólogo alemán. Es considerado uno de los pensadores más relevantes del siglo XIX debido a la profunda influencia que su obra ha ejercido en la historia y la cultura occidental. Escribió sobre diversos temas como el arte, la historia, la religión, la ciencia y la filología, criticando a la cultura, la religión y la filosofía occidental mediante el análisis de conceptos y actitudes morales. Su célebre frase 'Dios ha muerto' ha influenciado la agenda de muchos intelectuales, tales como Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze o Martin Heidegger. Al introducir una nueva cosmovisión que ha reorganizado el pensamiento del siglo XX, Nietzsche recibió un amplio reconocimiento como una figura significativa en la filosofía contemporánea. . Su influencia fue particularmente notoria en los filósofos existencialistas, críticos, fenomenológicos, postestructuralistas y posmodernos, y en la sociología contemporánea. Además, es considerado uno de los tres «maestros de la sospecha» (según la expresión de Paul Ricoeur), junto a Karl Marx y Sigmund Freud.

Title: And Now For The Good News...: The much-needed tonic for our frazzled world Author: Ruby Wax Narrator: Ruby Wax Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 4 minutes Release date: September 17, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. When was the last time that reading the news made you feel good? Dear Reader, I know what you're thinking, is it some kind of macabre joke? Has she been in a coma? How can Ruby Wax write a book about good news when the world is facing the worst disaster since the Plague? Let me explain. I began writing in 2018, back when the world's worries were somewhat different. Climate change, greedy bankers, exam results, crap politicians, mental health: these are still HUGE ISSUES, but even the ancient soothsayers reading pig entrails couldn't have predicted this. This is my new mission: to share the green shoots of hope peeping through the soil of civilization. Literacy is at an all-time high, world-hunger is likely to be eradicated this century, technological improvements are saving lives ­- just to scratch the surface. I've talked to everyone from leaders to scientists to tech geniuses. I've done the research and practiced what I preach. And my conclusion? Behind the clouds, the sun still shines. So here's to the shoots - may they become a blueprint for how the world can shift for the good. Hopefully we'll learn from them.

Title: Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone Author: Astra Taylor Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 6 minutes Release date: June 30, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: There is no shortage of democracy, at least in name, and yet it is in crisis everywhere we look. From a cabal of plutocrats in the White House to gerrymandering and dark-money compaign contributions, it is clear that the principle of government by and for the people is not living up to its promise. The problems lie deeper than any one election cycle. As Astra Taylor demonstrates, real democracy—fully inclusive and completely egalitarian—has in fact never existed. In a tone that is both philosophical and anecdotal, weaving together history, theory, the stories of individuals, and interviews with such leading thinkers as Cornel West and Wendy Brown, Taylor invites us to reexamine the term. Is democracy a means or an end, a process or a set of desired outcomes? What if those outcomes, whatever they may be—peace, prosperity, equality, liberty, an engaged citizenry—can be achieved by non-democratic means? In what areas of life should democratic principles apply? If democracy means rule by the people, what does it mean to rule and who counts as the people? Democracy's inherent paradoxes often go unnamed and unrecognized. Exploring such questions, Democracy May Not Exist offers a better understanding of what is possible, what we want, why democracy is so hard to realize, and why it is worth striving for.

Title: The Light Of Yoga Illuminations From The Bhagavata Purana Author: Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Narrator: Jagannatha Dasa And Company Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 4 minutes Release date: April 14, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Bhagavata-purana, (Sanskrit: “Ancient Stories of God [Vishnu]”) is the most-celebrated text of a variety of Hindu sacred literature known as the Puranas and the specific text held sacred by the Bhagavata sect. The Purana is made up of some 18,000 stanzas divided into 12 books, but it is Book X, which deals with Krishna’s childhood and his years spent among the cowherds of Vrindavana, that accounts for its immense popularity with Vaishnavas throughout India. The attempts on Krishna’s life made by his wicked uncle Kamsa, the childhood pranks he played on his foster mother Yashoda, his love for the gopis (the wives and daughters of the cowherds), and their passionate abandonment to him are treated with endearing charm and grace, even while transfused with deep religious significance. It is the essence of all yogic literature.

Title: The Soul’s Code: In Search of Character and Calling Author: James Hillman Narrator: John Lescault Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 55 minutes Release date: January 21, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.4 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Plato called it “daimon,” the Romans “genius,” the Christians “guardian angel”; today we use such terms as “heart,” “spirit,” and “soul.” While philosophers and psychologists from Plato to Jung have studied and debated the fundamental essence of our individuality, our modern culture refuses to accept that a unique soul guides each of us from birth, shaping the course of our lives. In this extraordinary bestseller, James Hillman presents a brilliant vision of our selves, and an exciting approach to the mystery at the center of every life that asks, “What is it, in my heart, that I must do, be, and have? And why?” Drawing on the biographies of figures such as Ella Fitzgerald and Mohandas K. Gandhi, Hillman argues that character is fate, that there is more to each individual than can be explained by genetics and environment. The result is a reasoned and powerful road map to understanding our true nature and discovering an eye-opening array of choices—from the way we raise our children to our career paths to our social and personal commitments to achieving excellence in our time.

Title: The Psychology of Good and Evil: Understanding Extraordinary Behavior from Altruism to Atrocities Author: Catherine Sanderson Narrator: Catherine Sanderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 15 minutes Release date: September 2, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Have you met a true hero? We've all read about truly bad people. Why do some people do good while others choose evil? Are we responsible for our actions? What impact do genetics and upbringing have on moral choices? What does science show us about altruism, prejudice, authority, and group influence? You will explore these and many other provocative questions in Professor Catherine A. Sanderson's 15-lecture audio course, The Psychology of Good and Evil. An award-winning psychology professor and celebrated author, Prof. Sanderson is known for her deep knowledge of current research as well as her humorous and engaging teaching style. This course is characteristic of her oeuvre: well-crafted, carefully articulated, thoroughly researched, and targeted to our historical moment. Throughout the course, Prof. Sanderson alludes to the social ills and global conflicts that you hear about on the nightly news. Her elucidation of research from the fields of psychology, biology, and neuroscience will also help you put names to the positive and negative behavioral phenomena you've experienced in your own life.

Now, you are invited to explore ancient Rome's legacy with award-winning professor and prolific author Christopher M. Bellitto. In this fascinating audio course on the Roman monarchy, republic, and empire, you will explore the essentials of Roman civilization: the creation of a city at the center of world history, its political legacy, its architectural and cultural achievements, its treatment of women and slaves, and its tragic flaws. You will begin by placing ancient Rome in world history by looking at its origins and contexts in terms of geography and chronology. You will then explore the overlooked monarchy that ran for over two centuries until it was replaced by a republic that slowly took over the Mediterranean for 500 years. You will follow Rome as it defeated Carthage in three Punic Wars, facing challengers like Hannibal. As you travel from the Republic to the Empire to Rome's eventual "fall," you will encounter such infamous figures as Julius Caesar, Octavian, Marc Antony, Cleopatra, Caligula, and Nero. You will see how paganism, Judaism, and Christianity interacted, often violently, and how Christianity transformed a stumbling empire. Finally, you will ask whether Rome truly fell at all.

Title: Practicing Forgiveness: How to Forgive, Reconcile, and Restore Relationships Author: Everett Worthington Narrator: Everett Worthington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 16 minutes Release date: October 1, 2018 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 4 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Perhaps the world's leading expert on forgiveness research, Everett Worthington distills decades of wisdom into 15 life-changing lectures. The author or editor of more than 38 books on marriage, family, and forgiveness, Prof. Worthington received the Humanitarian Award from the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling. Now you can learn to practice his groundbreaking REACH Forgiveness model through these 15 engaging lectures. At first glance, statements of forgiveness such as "Love your enemies" (Matthew 5:44) may seem paradoxical. But in recent decades, scientists have picked up where philosophers and theologians left off-confirming the many benefits that practicing forgiveness will bring you. Studies show that the consistent practice of forgiveness reaps rewards to your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. On a larger scale, forgiveness is a central pillar in promoting peace among groups, organizations, and societies. Drawing on his decades of experience in couples counseling and his prolific research on forgiveness, Prof. Worthington guides you in how to practice forgiveness. As Stephen Post, Ph.D., of Stony Brook University School of Medicine says, "Ev speaks from the heart and soul and mind with a special passion for what forgiveness brings to our lives. He has uplifted a generation." Through this masterful course, you will acquire the tools to think both philosophically and practically about forgiveness. You'll find that the scientific approach to forgiveness will indelibly enrich your life and relationships. This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

Title: On Not Dying: Secular Immortality in the Age of Technoscience Author: Abou Farman Narrator: Neil Shah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 20, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: An ethnographic exploration of technoscientific immortality On Not Dying is an anthropological, historical, and philosophical exploration of immortality as a secular and scientific category. Based on an ethnography of immortalist communities—those who believe humans can extend their personal existence indefinitely through technological means—and an examination of other institutions involved at the end of life, Abou Farman argues that secular immortalism is an important site to explore the tensions inherent in secularism: how to accept death but extend life; knowing the future is open but your future is finite; that life has meaning but the universe is meaningless. As secularism denies a soul, an afterlife, and a cosmic purpose, conflicts arise around the relationship of mind and body, individual finitude and the infinity of time and the cosmos, and the purpose of life. Immortalism today, Farman argues, is shaped by these historical and culturally situated tensions. Immortalist projects go beyond extending life, confronting dualism and cosmic alienation by imagining (and producing) informatic selves separate from the biological body but connected to a cosmic unfolding.

For the first time Cheryl Misak tells the full story of his extraordinary life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/429842 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/429842]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Cynicism Author: Ansgar Allen Narrator: Nigel Patterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 9 minutes Release date: May 5, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Everyone's a cynic, yet few will admit it. Today's cynics excuse themselves half-heartedly—'I hate to be a cynic, but . . .'—before making their pronouncements. Narrowly opportunistic, always on the take, contemporary cynicism has nothing positive to contribute. The Cynicism of the ancient Greeks, however, was very different. Bold and shameless, it was committed to transforming the values on which civilization depends. In this volume of the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Ansgar Allen charts the long history of cynicism, from the 'fearless speech' of Greek Cynics in the fourth century BCE to the contemporary cynic's lack of social and political convictions. Allen describes ancient Cynicism as an improvised philosophy and a way of life disposed to scandalize contemporaries, subjecting their cultural commitments to derision. He chronicles the subsequent 'purification' of Cynicism by the Stoics; Renaissance and Enlightenment appropriations of Cynicism; and the transition from Cynicism (the philosophy) to cynicism (the modern attitude), exploring contemporary cynicism from the perspectives of its leftist, liberal, and conservative critics. Finally, he considers the possibility of a radical cynicism that admits and affirms the danger it poses to contemporary society.

Title: Kant and the Divine: From Contemplation to the Moral Law Author: Christopher J. Insole Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 49 minutes Release date: July 7, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Kant is not a Christian, because he cannot accept Christianity's traditional claims about the relationship between divine action, grace, human freedom, and happiness. Christian theologians who continue to affirm these traditional claims (and many do), therefore have grounds to be suspicious of Kant as an interpreter of Christian doctrine. As well as setting out a theological critique of Kant, Insole offers a new defence of the power, beauty, and internal coherence of Kant's non-Christian philosophical religiosity, 'within the limits of reason alone', which reason itself has some divine features. This neglected strand of philosophical religiosity deserves to be engaged with by both philosophers, and theologians. The Kant revealed in this book reminds us of a perennial task of philosophy, going back to Plato, where philosophy is construed as a way of life, oriented towards happiness, achieved through a properly expansive conception of reason and happiness. When we understand this philosophical religiosity, many standard 'problems' in the interpretation of Kant can be seen in a new light, and resolved. Kant witnesses to a strand of philosophy that leans into the category of the divine, at the edges of what we can say about reason, freedom, autonomy, and happiness. Christopher J.

Title: A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful Author: Edmund Burke Narrator: Matt Addis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 52 minutes Release date: March 1, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In A Philosophical Enquiry... Edmund Burke sets out to define the nature of beauty and sublimity, and establish an objective criterion for discussing aesthetics. His definition of beauty as rooted in pleasure and sexuality, and the sublime in pain and survival, aligned him with the empiricists John Locke and David Hume, as he replaced the metaphysics of Plato's aesthetics with a psychological and physiological perspective. According to Burke, the sublime and the beautiful are experiences that can be explained by biological and sensual factors; thus he proceeds to explain how smooth lines, sweet tastes and middle frequencies of sound can be considered beautiful, and the terror created by high mountains and dark forests can be sublime. These revolutionary ideas ushered in the age of Romanticism, and the Gothic genre of novels, with their delight in horror and fright, and continue to influence aesthetic theories today.

Title: Bottoming Out the Universe: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing Author: Richard Grossinger Narrator: Richard Grossinger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 49 minutes Release date: May 5, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: An exploration into consciousness, the universe, and the nature of reality • Draws on transdimensional physics and biology, reincarnation and past-life memories, animal consciousness, multiple identities, thoughtforms, soul pictures, and paranormal phenomena like crop circles and poltergeists • Explores the riddle of personal identity and how it differs from consciousness • Reveals that consciousness is more than encompassing all that exists--it also speaks to what has yet to manifest Scientific orthodoxy views the universe as conceived of matter--protons, neutrons, electrons, down to the smallest particle, quarks. But, when you keep digging, what is “beneath” quarks? The scientific worldview does not take into account consciousness or life itself. How did consciousness become part of the material universe? Is it a by-product of brain chemistry or a constituent of reality? Or, to dig deeper, which is more fundamental: the existence of an objective physical universe or our subjective experience of it? In this investigation into consciousness, the universe, and the nature of reality, Richard Grossinger offers a wide-ranging foundation for reimagining the universe as based in consciousness rather than matter. He presents in-depth analysis of the standard scientific description of the universe, revealing the holes in its theories. Exploring the interpenetration of matter and all reality by consciousness, the author looks at reincarnation and past-life memories, examining famous and lesser-known but verifiable accounts. He then explores the nature and origin of consciousness, with accompanying explorations of animal consciousness, the brain as a computer, multiple identities, thoughtforms, soul pictures, and paranormal phenomena like UFOs, faeries, and poltergeists. He also examines concepts from physics that combine elements of both consciousness and matter, such as collapsing waveforms and the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. Examining nonlocal and transpersonal modes of consciousness, Grossinger looks at the difference between consciousness and personal identity. He expands this discussion with reflections on Sethian cosmology, using Seth’s own words and Jane Roberts’s and John Friedlander’s interpretations. He reveals that consciousness also encompasses what has yet to manifest and explains why the universe exists at all: why there is “something” rather than “nothing.” Skewering the materialist paradigm and placing consciousness alongside mass, gravity, and heat as an essential component of the universe, Grossinger proposes that reality is a thoughtform where sentient beings collaborate to bring about a concrete realm vibrating at their own frequency.

Title: Kant’s Foundations of Ethics Author: Immanuel Kant Narrator: Alberto Ghiraldo, Alberto De La Rocha, Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 4 minutes Release date: April 16, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: These works articulate the most fundamental principles of Kant’s ethical and political world-view. 'What is Enlightenment?' (1784) and 'Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals' (1785) challenge all free people to think about the requirements for self-determination both in our individual lives and in our public and private institutions. Kant’s 'Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals' is dedicated to the proposition that all people can know what they need to know to be honest, good, wise, and virtuous. The purpose of Kant’s moral philosophy is to help us become aware of the principles that are already contained within us. Innocence and dependence must be replaced with wisdom and good will if we are to avoid being vulnerable and misguided. According to Kant, freedom of thought leads naturally to freedom of action. When that happens, governments begin to treat human beings, not as machines, but as persons with dignity. Immanuel Kant begins 'Toward Lasting Peace' by contrasting the realism of practical politicians with the high-minded theories of philosophers who 'dream their sweet dreams.' His opening line provides a grim reminder that the only alternative to finding a way to avoid the war of each against all is the lasting peace of the graveyard. The advent of total war and the development of nuclear weapons in the twentieth century give Kant’s reflections an urgency he could not have anticipated. Kant published this work in 1795, during the aftermath of the American Revolution and the French Revolution. The high hopes of the European Enlightenment had been dampened by the Reign of Terror in which tens of thousands of people died, and the perpetual cycle of war and temporary armistice seemed to be inescapable. Kant’s essay is best known as an early articulation of the idea of a league of nations that could bring 'an end to all hostilities.' Today The United Nations continues to pursue that dream, but lasting peace still seems to be wishful thinking. - No modern philosopher is more important than Immanuel Kant. His works extend from epistemology and metaphysics to aesthetics, ethics, and political philosophy. His 'Critical Philosophy' is developed in three major works: 'The Critique of Pure Reason,' 'The Critique of Practical Reason,' and 'The Critique of Judgment.' A German speaker, he was born in Prussia, an area that is now part of Poland. He never travelled more than 50 miles from his home in Königsberg, but his influence has since pervaded every aspect of Western culture.

Title: Kant’s Foundations of Ethics Author: Immanuel Kant Narrator: Alberto Ghiraldo, Alberto De La Rocha, Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 4 minutes Release date: April 16, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: These works articulate the most fundamental principles of Kant’s ethical and political world-view. 'What is Enlightenment?' (1784) and 'Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals' (1785) challenge all free people to think about the requirements for self-determination both in our individual lives and in our public and private institutions. Kant’s 'Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals' is dedicated to the proposition that all people can know what they need to know to be honest, good, wise, and virtuous. The purpose of Kant’s moral philosophy is to help us become aware of the principles that are already contained within us. Innocence and dependence must be replaced with wisdom and good will if we are to avoid being vulnerable and misguided. According to Kant, freedom of thought leads naturally to freedom of action. When that happens, governments begin to treat human beings, not as machines, but as persons with dignity. Immanuel Kant begins 'Toward Lasting Peace' by contrasting the realism of practical politicians with the high-minded theories of philosophers who 'dream their sweet dreams.' His opening line provides a grim reminder that the only alternative to finding a way to avoid the war of each against all is the lasting peace of the graveyard. The advent of total war and the development of nuclear weapons in the twentieth century give Kant’s reflections an urgency he could not have anticipated. Kant published this work in 1795, during the aftermath of the American Revolution and the French Revolution. The high hopes of the European Enlightenment had been dampened by the Reign of Terror in which tens of thousands of people died, and the perpetual cycle of war and temporary armistice seemed to be inescapable. Kant’s essay is best known as an early articulation of the idea of a league of nations that could bring 'an end to all hostilities.' Today The United Nations continues to pursue that dream, but lasting peace still seems to be wishful thinking. - No modern philosopher is more important than Immanuel Kant. His works extend from epistemology and metaphysics to aesthetics, ethics, and political philosophy. His 'Critical Philosophy' is developed in three major works: 'The Critique of Pure Reason,' 'The Critique of Practical Reason,' and 'The Critique of Judgment.' A German speaker, he was born in Prussia, an area that is now part of Poland. He never travelled more than 50 miles from his home in Königsberg, but his influence has since pervaded every aspect of Western culture. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/428560 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/428560]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: If You Should Fail: A Book of Solace Author: Joe Moran Narrator: Ned Porteous Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 28 minutes Release date: September 24, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Do you ever feel like a failure? Enter widely acclaimed observer of daily life Professor Joe Moran, not to tell you that everything will be all right in the end, but to reassure you that failure is an occupational hazard of being human. It's the small print in life's terms and conditions. Covering everything from examination dreams to fourth-placed Olympians, If You Should Fail is about how modern life, in a world of self-advertised success, makes us feel like failures, frauds and imposters. We need more narratives of failure, and to see that not every failure can be made into a success - and that's OK. As Moran shows, even the supremely gifted Leonardo da Vinci could be seen as a failure. Most artists, writers, sports stars and business people face failure. We all will, and can learn how to live with it. To echo Virginia Woolf, beauty 'is only got by the failure to get it . . . by facing what must be humiliation - the things one can't do.' Combining philosophy, psychology, history and literature, Moran's ultimately upbeat reflections on being human, and his critique of how we live now, offers comfort, hope - and solace.

Title: Manalive Author: G. K. Chesterton Narrator: Ray Clare Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 5 minutes Release date: January 4, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: 'I am going to hold a pistol to the head of the Modern Man. But I shall not use it to kill him – only to bring him to life.' Innocent Smith, an 'allegorical practical joker', turns everything upside down with his arrival at Beacon House, a London Boarding establishment. His passion and liveliness brightens up the place immediately, but at the height of the enjoyment, everyone is shocked when Smith tries to murder one of them. But in ‘Manalive’ (1912), Chesterton’s perhaps most joyful novel, nothing is as it appears, and the tenants will soon see life a whole new way. - Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the most prolific English writers of all time. He wrote poems, plays, essays, newspaper columns, and is especially known for his fictional priest detective Father Brown. His 'frenemy', the author of Pygmalion, George Bernard Shaw, famously called him 'a man of colossal genius' and the two of them would often engage in friendly public discussions with people like H.G. Wells and Clarence Darrow. Chesterton died in his home, and his last known words were a greeting to his wife, author Frances Blogg. G. K.

His passion and liveliness brightens up the place immediately, but at the height of the enjoyment, everyone is shocked when Smith tries to murder one of them. But in ‘Manalive’ (1912), Chesterton’s perhaps most joyful novel, nothing is as it appears, and the tenants will soon see life a whole new way. - Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the most prolific English writers of all time. He wrote poems, plays, essays, newspaper columns, and is especially known for his fictional priest detective Father Brown. His 'frenemy', the author of Pygmalion, George Bernard Shaw, famously called him 'a man of colossal genius' and the two of them would often engage in friendly public discussions with people like H.G. Wells and Clarence Darrow. Chesterton died in his home, and his last known words were a greeting to his wife, author Frances Blogg. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/427463 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/427463]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: American Secession: The Looming Threat of a National Breakup Author: F.H. Buckley Narrator: John Pruden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 55 minutes Release date: May 12, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Americans have never been more divided, and we're ripe for a breakup. The bitter partisan animosities, the legislative gridlock, the growing acceptance of violence in the name of political virtue—it all invites us to think that we'd be happier were we two different countries. In all the ways that matter, save for the naked force of law, we are already two nations. There's another reason why secession beckons, says F. H. Buckley: we're too big. In population and area, the United States is one of the biggest countries in the world, and American Secession provides data showing that smaller countries are happier and less corrupt. They're less inclined to throw their weight around militarily, and they're freer too. Across the world, large countries are staring down secession movements. Many have already split apart. Do we imagine that we, almost alone in the world, are immune? We had a civil war to prevent a secession, and we're tempted to see that terrible precedent as proof against another effort. This book explodes that comforting belief and shows just how easy it would be for a state to exit the Union if that's what its voters wanted. But if that isn't what we really want, Buckley proposes another option, a kind of Secession Lite, that could heal our divisions while allowing us to keep our identity as Americans. F.H.

Title: Buddhist Ethics: A Very Short Introduction Author: Damien Keown Narrator: James Anderson Foster Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 46 minutes Release date: September 1, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: With over 520 million followers, Buddhism is now the world's fourth largest religion. Over the last seventy years or so there has been a growing interest in Buddhism, and it continues to capture the imagination of many in the West, who see it as either an alternative or a supplement to their own religious beliefs. For complex cultural and historical reasons, ethics has not received as much attention in traditional Buddhist thought as it has in the West. In this Very Short Introduction, Damien Keown explores how Buddhism approaches a range of moral issues of our age, including our relationship with our environment, our treatment of animals, and our stance on abortion, on sexuality and gender, on violence and war. This new edition also includes a discussion of the ethical challenges posed by cutting-edge developments in science and biomedical technologies, including neuroscience, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and gene editing.

Title: Bunker: Building for the End Times Author: Bradley Garrett Narrator: Adam Sims Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 29 minutes Release date: August 4, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Since prehistory, bunkers have been built as protection from cataclysmic social and environmental forces, and as places of power and transformation. Today, the bunker has become the extreme expression of our greatest fears: from pandemics to climate change and nuclear war. And once you look, it doesn't take long to start seeing bunkers everywhere. In Bunker, acclaimed urban explorer and cultural geographer Bradley Garrett explores the global and rapidly growing movement of 'prepping' for social and environmental collapse, or 'Doomsday'. From the 'dread merchants' hustling safe spaces in the American mid-West to eco-fortresses in Thailand, from geoscrapers to armoured mobile bunkers, Bunker is a brilliant, original and never less than deeply disturbing story from the frontlines of the way we live now: an illuminating reflection on our age of disquiet and dread that brings it into new, sharp focus. The bunker, Garrett shows, is all around us: in malls, airports, gated communities, the vehicles we drive. Most of all, he shows, it's in our minds. © Bradley Garrett 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020 Bradley Garrett Tue, 04 Aug 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/426940 thebookvoice.com 10:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/426940]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: American Awakening: Eight Principles to Restore the Soul of America Author: John Kingston Narrator: John Kingston Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 28, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A healthy and united America--perhaps a country more united than it has ever been--is truly possible, and it starts with us. John Kingston draws on wisdom from history, science, faith, and culture, along with his own experiences, to offer eight principles for discovering purpose, meaning, and true community.  We live in the greatest peace and prosperity that the world has ever known, but Americans are feeling more division, isolation, depression, and despair than ever before. These are issues of the soul. We seem unable to find purpose and meaning. We can't find 'the life that is truly life'--a vibrant and purpose-filled way of living best experienced together. From his youth, Kingston has always carried a vision for a free and united America. With an approachable and conversational style, as well as a dash of humor, Kingston draws on a diverse and compelling collection of wisdom--the parables of the Bible and the philosophy of Aristotle, the legacy of Nelson Mandela and the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, the songs of Bruce Springsteen and current studies from the best neuro and social scientists today--to remind us that there is no 'them,' there is only us, and we're in this together. In American Awakening, Kingston offers eight timeless principles for breaking through this darkness and despair and cultivating a radical togetherness, both here in this country and around the globe. You'll discover the profound impact of: - In-person connection - Making more from less - Discovering purpose - Redeeming adversity - Responding instead of reacting - Finding your unique sense of belonging Wherever you find yourself politically or spiritually, a healthy and united America starts with you. Join the Awakening movement and let's rediscover who we are--together.

Title: Science Fictions: Exposing Fraud, Bias, Negligence and Hype in Science Author: Stuart Ritchie Narrator: Stuart Ritchie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: July 16, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. So much relies on science. But what if science itself can’t be relied on? Medicine, education, psychology, health, parenting – wherever it really matters, we look to science for advice. Science Fictions reveals the disturbing flaws that undermine our understanding of all of these fields and more. While the scientific method will always be our best and only way of knowing about the world, in reality the current system of funding and publishing science not only fails to safeguard against scientists’ inescapable biases and foibles, it actively encourages them.

Science Fictions reveals the disturbing flaws that undermine our understanding of all of these fields and more. While the scientific method will always be our best and only way of knowing about the world, in reality the current system of funding and publishing science not only fails to safeguard against scientists’ inescapable biases and foibles, it actively encourages them.

Title: Sick Souls, Healthy Minds: How William James Can Save Your Life Author: John Kaag Narrator: Daniel Henning Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 50 minutes Release date: March 17, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From the celebrated author of American Philosophy: A Love Story and Hiking with Nietzsche, a compelling introduction to the life-affirming philosophy of William JamesIn 1895, William James, the father of American philosophy, delivered a lecture entitled 'Is Life Worth Living?' It was no theoretical question for James, who had contemplated suicide during an existential crisis as a young man a quarter century earlier. Indeed, as John Kaag writes, 'James's entire philosophy, from beginning to end, was geared to save a life, his life'?and that's why it just might be able to save yours, too. Sick Souls, Healthy Minds is a compelling introduction to James's life and thought that shows why the founder of pragmatism and empirical psychology?and an inspiration for Alcoholics Anonymous?can still speak so directly and profoundly to anyone struggling to make a life worth living.Kaag tells how James's experiences as one of what he called the 'sick-souled,' those who think that life might be meaningless, drove him to articulate an ideal of 'healthy-mindedness'?an attitude toward life that is open, active, and hopeful, but also realistic about its risks. In fact, all of James's pragmatism, resting on the idea that truth should be judged by its practical consequences for our lives, is a response to, and possible antidote for, crises of meaning that threaten to undo many of us at one time or another. Along the way, Kaag also movingly describes how his own life has been endlessly enriched by James.Eloquent, inspiring, and filled with insight, Sick Souls, Healthy Minds may be the smartest and most important self-help book you'll ever read.

Title: On the Shortness of Life Author: Seneca Narrator: Victor Craig Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 7 minutes Release date: March 6, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Lucius Annaeus Seneca, known as Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BC – AD 65), is the author of ‘On the Shortness of Life (c. 49 AD).’ In it, Seneca draws insight from different streams of ancient wisdom: Stoic, Epicurean, Platonic, Skeptic and Cynic, as he addresses some of the important questions humans face. Seneca encourages people to be mindful of time and to use it purposefully. He suggests awareness and acceptance as a remedy for many worries and wasteful dissipations. We need to be aware of how we spend our time, and ideally, plan to spend it wisely. Acceptance of death is necessary for peace of mind, and will, in turn, make us appreciate our limited time all the more. Chapters 2 to 9 survey the many ways in which life is squandered and time frittered away by people who are preoccupied by pointless pursuits. Chapters 10 to 17 contrast the philosophical approach to leisure (with the deluded common approach. This culminates in chapters 18 to 20 that show the emancipation of the wise, who can soar above the lives of those mired in preoccupation.

Title: Mill’s On Liberty Author: John Stuart Mill Narrator: Alberto Ghiraldo, Alberto De La Rocha, Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 10 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: John Stuart Mill’s 'On Liberty' was first published in 1859. In the 21st century this text confirms Socrates’ claim that 'it is only the life of true philosophy that scorns the life of political ambition' (Plato’s Republic, 521). Mill’s thinking about freedom in civic and social life examines fundamental principles shared among conservative, liberal, and radical politicians. The life of true philosophy stands outside the political battles that are rampant in society and seeks the political wisdom that is necessary for a good life in any age. 'On Liberty' should be read alongside the classic documents that declare the basic nature and importance of human freedom and liberty such as the 'U.S. Declaration of Independence' (1776), the French 'Rights of Man' (1789), 'The Declaration of Sentiments at the Seneca Falls Convention' (1848), and the 'United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights' (1948). When the officials of any government seek to change the laws that regulate individual liberty or when rhetoricians seek to change public opinion about what individuals should or should not be allowed to say or do, Mill’s 'On Liberty' serves as an antidote to the poisons of excessive intrusion into the lives of individuals. - Mill was born in London, the son of James Mill, a Scotsman who came to England and joined with Jeremy Bentham to develop utilitarianism. Today John Stuart Mill is also known as one of the major proponents of utilitarianism, but the depth of his philosophical thinking goes far beyond the disputes among ethical theorists. In spite of his criticism of some aspects of Immanuel Kant’s philosophy, his ethical position eventually embraces Kant’s most basic concepts: autonomy and universality. Mill contributed to logic, philosophy of science, epistemology, economics, psychology, politics, and ethics. He was also an early proponent of the rights of women.

Title: Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion Author: David Hume Narrator: Albert Aeed, William Sigalis, Albert A. Anderson, Ray Childs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 23 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion had not yet been published when he died in 1776. Even though the manuscript was mostly written during the 1750s, it did not appear until 1779. The subject itself was too delicate and controversial, and Hume’s dialectical examination of religious knowledge was especially provocative. What should we teach young people about religion? The characters Demea, Cleanthes, and Philo passionately present and defend three sharply different answers to that question. Demea opens the dialogue with a position derived from René Descartes and Father Malebranche — God’s nature is a mystery, but God’s existence can be proved logically. Cleanthes attacks that view, both because it leads to mysticism and because it attempts the impossible task of trying to establish existence on the basis of pure reason, without appeal to sense experience. As an alternative, he offers a proof of both God’s existence and God’s nature based on the same kind of scientific reasoning established by Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. Taking a skeptical approach, Philo presents a series of arguments that question any attempt to use reason as a basis for religious faith. He suggests that human beings might be better off without religion. The dialogue ends without agreement among the characters, justifying Hume’s choice of dialogue as the literary style for this topic.  - Born in Scotland, Hume challenges much of the philosophy that prevailed in Europe and England in the 17th and 18th century. He was especially critical of the rationalism developed by René Descartes and his followers. Although he wrote a number of influential essays (including 'A Treatise of Human Nature' and 'Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding'), his dialogues are especially well suited for the topic of religion. As his character Pamphilus says: 'Any philosophical question that is so obscure and uncertain that human reason can reach no agreement about it, if it is treated at all, seems to lead us naturally to the style of dialogue.'

Anderson, Ray Childs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 23 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion had not yet been published when he died in 1776. Even though the manuscript was mostly written during the 1750s, it did not appear until 1779. The subject itself was too delicate and controversial, and Hume’s dialectical examination of religious knowledge was especially provocative. What should we teach young people about religion? The characters Demea, Cleanthes, and Philo passionately present and defend three sharply different answers to that question. Demea opens the dialogue with a position derived from René Descartes and Father Malebranche — God’s nature is a mystery, but God’s existence can be proved logically. Cleanthes attacks that view, both because it leads to mysticism and because it attempts the impossible task of trying to establish existence on the basis of pure reason, without appeal to sense experience. As an alternative, he offers a proof of both God’s existence and God’s nature based on the same kind of scientific reasoning established by Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. Taking a skeptical approach, Philo presents a series of arguments that question any attempt to use reason as a basis for religious faith. He suggests that human beings might be better off without religion. The dialogue ends without agreement among the characters, justifying Hume’s choice of dialogue as the literary style for this topic.  - Born in Scotland, Hume challenges much of the philosophy that prevailed in Europe and England in the 17th and 18th century. He was especially critical of the rationalism developed by René Descartes and his followers. Although he wrote a number of influential essays (including 'A Treatise of Human Nature' and 'Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding'), his dialogues are especially well suited for the topic of religion. As his character Pamphilus says: 'Any philosophical question that is so obscure and uncertain that human reason can reach no agreement about it, if it is treated at all, seems to lead us naturally to the style of dialogue.' https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/424416 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/424416]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Plato’s Republic Author: – Plato Narrator: Shawn Lacount, Albert Aeed, Ray Munro, Al Anderson, Henry Akona, Neil Schroeder, William Sigalis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 53 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The 'Republic' poses questions that endure: What is justice? What form of community fosters the best possible life for human beings? What is the nature and destiny of the soul? What form of education provides the best leaders for a good republic? What are the various forms of poetry and the other arts, which ones should be fostered, and which ones should be discouraged? How does knowing differ from believing? Several characters in the dialogue present a variety of tempting answers to those questions. Cephalus, Polemarchus, Thrasymachus, and Glaucon all offer definitions of justice. Socrates, Glaucon, and Adeimantus explore five different forms of republic and evaluate the merit of each from the standpoint of goodness. Two contrasting models of education are proposed and examined. Three different forms of poetry are identified and analyzed. The difference between knowing and believing is discussed in relation to the objects of each kind of thinking. - Plato lived in Athens, Greece. He wrote approximately two-dozen dialogues that explore core topics that are essential to all human beings. Although the historical Socrates was a strong influence on Plato, the character by that name that appears in many of his dialogues is a product of Plato’s fertile imagination. All of Plato’s dialogues are written in a poetic form that his student Aristotle called 'Socratic dialogue.' In the twentieth century, the British philosopher and logician Alfred North Whitehead characterized the entire European philosophical tradition as 'a series of footnotes to Plato.' Philosophy for Plato was not a set of doctrines but a goal — not the possession of wisdom but the love of wisdom. Agora Publications offers these performances based on the assumption that Plato wrote these works to be performed by actors in order to stimulate additional dialogue among those who listen to them. – Plato Thu, 02 Apr 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/424416 thebookvoice.com 11:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/424416]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Berkeley’s Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous Author: George Berkeley Narrator: William Schuller, Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 32 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Berkeley uses the Socratic mode of inquiry in 'Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous' to question fundamental beliefs about knowledge and reality. These dialogues are between Hylas (whose name is derived from the ancient Greek word for matter) and Philonous, whose name means 'lover of mind.' The new physical sciences developed in the seventeenth century supported the materialism proposed by Thomas Hobbes and several other philosophers. This worldview proclaimed that all of reality consists of nothing but matter in motion, thus promoting atheism and ethical skepticism. The implications for politics, ethics, and religion caused concern among leading intellectuals in the eighteenth century. Whatever the value of the positive claims presented in this work, Berkeley foreshadows the philosophical impact of twentieth century physics, which challenges the foundations of such materialism and calls for a better understanding of both the physical and the mental aspects of reality. - Berkeley was born in Ireland where he served as Bishop of Cloyne (Dublin). He published works in philosophy, mathematics, science, and religion. His other works include the 'Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge' and 'An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision'. He is one of the central figures in the tradition known as Empiricism.

Title: Uemura’s Reflections on the Mind of Plato Author: Joseph Norio Uemura Narrator: Joseph Norio Uemura Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 42 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: 'Plato was not a Platonist! I would like to show . . . that anyone who reads the dialogues of Plato without bias or an ax to grind will find a humorous, witty, pleasant friend; and not a desiccated scholarly mandarin. Plato was an open-minded, tolerant, reasonable individual, not a tight-lipped, pietistic, puritan. In a word, Plato was an Athenian, not a Spartan!' In the twenty-four centuries that have passed since the Athenians put Socrates to death, every generation has interpreted the meaning of Plato’s work differently. Joseph Uemura guides us through six dialogues in an effort to promote a dialectical quest rather than seek a final resting place. Plato’s dialogues treat the big questions that confront any thoughtful person. 'Eythyphro' explores religion, 'Phaedo' reflects on mind, 'Theatetus' examines knowledge, 'Sophist' probes being, 'Phaedrus' reflects on art, and the 'Republic' ponders society. All great literature must be experienced first-hand. Because it is not self-explanatory, it must be interpreted and evaluated. Professor Uemura’s reflections serve as a touchstone by which to test every new reading of Plato’s work. - Professor Emeritus at Hamline University, Joseph Uemura has taught philosophy at small liberal arts colleges since he completed his Ph.D. in philosophy at Columbia University. During his career he has held two endowed professorships and transformed the lives of an uncounted number of students. His primary medium is the mind of his students, where he has recorded indelible ideas against which, as Nietzsche said, 'time tests its teeth in vain.' Although the crisp and witty prose of many of his essays and talks captures the essence of Plato’s core philosophy, it is the minds of his students where his lasting contribution persists not for the moment but for all time.

Title: Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy Author: René Descartes Narrator: Alberto Ghiraldo, Alberto De La Rocha, Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 31 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: René Descartes is often described as the first modern philosopher, but much of the content of his 'Meditations on First Philosophy' can be found in the medieval period that had already existed for more than a thousand years. Does God exist? If so, what is his nature? Is the human soul immortal? How does it differ from the body? What role do sense experience and pure reason play in knowing? Descartes stands out from his predecessors because of the method he developed to treat these and other fundamental questions. Drawing on his study of mathematics, he searches for a way to establish absolutely certain conclusions based on indubitable premises. His importance in modern philosophy lies in the challenge he offers to every subsequent thinker in philosophy and science. - The French philosopher Descartes is often called the 'Father' of modern philosophy in the West. His Discourse on Method presents the reason why: his method of inquiry. He was the quintessential 'rationalist,' subjecting all sense experience as doubtful and untrustworthy. Rather than relying on external authority (whether from other people or from God), Descartes demands nothing less than absolute certainty that begins with the self and proceeds step by step with the rigor of logical and mathematical precision. Even though he claims that he has proved the existence of God and explained God’s nature, even that core tenet must be established through rigorous logical argument. No subsequent philosopher is able to ignore this bold and challenging foundation for all thinking. Those who become his disciples as well as those who reject his way of thinking are all under his spell. Many think they have broken that spell only to find that he has shaped them in ways that are not easy to escape.

Title: Anderson’s Reality and the Arts Author: Albert A. Anderson Narrator: Alberto Ghiraldo, Alberto De La Rocha, Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 7 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Art is the creative manifestation of essences. In order to understand the relation between art and reality, we need a philosophical guide. The best way to comprehend how the creative act of imagining enables the mind to seek reality is to employ the kind of dialectical thinking that Plato used in his dialogues. Beginning with the shadows on the wall of the cave in which each person dwells, that process gradually enables us to grasp the essences that are manifested in individual works of art. Without a philosophical guide, we are likely to encounter only a blur of images in the visual arts, a cacophony of sounds in music, a whirl of activity in the theater, and chaos in the building of cities. It is too much to expect a set of final answers to any serious question about what is true, good, or beautiful. If we abandon the quest for reality, we settle for too little. Plato’s dialectical approach offers a path between Scylla and Charybdis. - Albert A. Anderson, Ph.D., is Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Babson College in Massachusetts, where he held an endowed chair as Murata Professor of Ethics from 1995 to 2003.

Title: Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy: From the Spirit of Music Author: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Narrator: William Sigalis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 15 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: 'The Birth of Tragedy' stands alongside Aristotle’s 'Poetics' as essential works for all who seek to understand poetry and its relationship to human life. In this, his first book, Nietzsche developed a way of thinking about the arts that unites the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus as the central symbol of human existence. Although tragedy serves as the focus of this work, music, visual art, dance, and the other arts can also be viewed using Nietzsche’s analysis and integration of the Apollonian and the Dionysian. - Nietzsche opened the door to philosophy in the 20th century. He anticipated depth psychology, championed myth, attacked literalism in religion and the arts, placed humanity in an evolutionary perspective, and launched a critique of scientism that remains potent in the 21st century. Although he is often linked to the movement known as existentialism, Nietzsche’s overall work defies being placed in any single category.

Title: Plato’s Gorgias Author: – Plato Narrator: Tommy Schrider, Ray Munro, Al Anderson, Neil Schroeder, William Sigalis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 0 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Gorgias of Leontini, a famous teacher of rhetoric, has come to Athens to recruit students, promising to teach them how to become leaders in politics and business. A group has gathered at Callicles' house to hear Gorgias demonstrate the power of his art. This dialogue blends comic and serious discussion of the best life, providing a penetrating examination of ethics. Is it better to suffer evil or to do evil? Is it better to do something wrong and avoid being caught or to be caught and punished? Is pleasure the same as goodness? As the characters in the dialogue pursue these questions, the foundations of ethics and the nature of the good life come to light. - Plato lived in Athens, Greece. He wrote approximately two-dozen dialogues that explore core topics that are essential to all human beings. Although the historical Socrates was a strong influence on Plato, the character by that name that appears in many of his dialogues is a product of Plato’s fertile imagination. All of Plato’s dialogues are written in a poetic form that his student Aristotle called 'Socratic dialogue.' In the twentieth century, the British philosopher and logician Alfred North Whitehead characterized the entire European philosophical tradition as 'a series of footnotes to Plato.' Philosophy for Plato was not a set of doctrines but a goal — not the possession of wisdom but the love of wisdom. Agora Publications offers these performances based on the assumption that Plato wrote these works to be performed by actors in order to stimulate additional dialogue among those who listen to them. – Plato Thu, 02 Apr 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/424402 thebookvoice.com 3:0:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/424402]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Plato’s Theaetetus Author: – Plato Narrator: Aidan Anderson, Al Anderson, William Sigalis, Jerry Anderson, Barth Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 11 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Perception, memory, truth, and knowledge all play major roles in this dialogue. What is remarkable about Plato’s treatment of those ideas is how contemporary are both the questions and the answers he puts in the mouths of his characters. Socrates is adamant in asserting that he does not know the answers but that his function is simply to help formulate and critically examine the doctrines presented by others. While he was still alive, the great sophist Protagoras was a friend of Theodorus who has subsequently given up abstract philosophical inquiry and now teaches mathematics, astronomy, and logic to young people such as Theaetetus, the most gifted student he has ever encountered. Socrates examines young Theaetetus to determine whether or not what he has learned from Theodorus provides wisdom and truth. The analogies and metaphors that emerge during their conversation foreshadow the theories of mind favored by contemporary cognitive scientists, but Plato’s dialogue also raises serious doubts about the cogency of those explanations.  - Plato lived in Athens, Greece.

Title: Whitehead’s The Function of Reason Author: Alfred North Whitehead Narrator: Alberto De La Rocha, Albert A. Anderson, Alberto Ghiraldo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 34 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Whitehead presented these three lectures at Princeton University in 1929. Although 85 years have passed, his central thesis and his analysis remain remarkably current. The scientific materialism that Whitehead opposed with such vigor continues to dominate in academic circles, and even now those who question that worldview are often accused of being anti-scientific. This is especially true in discussions of the nature of the human mind and its relation to the body (particularly the brain). It is hard to find a contemporary thinker with a better perspective on the nature and role of natural science than Whitehead who, with Bertrand Russell, published the 'Principia Mathematica' in 1910; who taught logic and mathematics at Trinity College of Cambridge University; who taught philosophy of science at University College London; and who was professor of philosophy at Harvard University beginning in 1924. Whitehead’s cosmology is far from anti-scientific, but he does explain why scientific method and technological practice alone are not able to provide a comprehensive understanding of the full range of human thought and experience. This work explains what we must do to achieve such a comprehensive understanding. - Whitehead, with Bertrand Russell, published the 'Principia Mathematica' in 1910; he taught logic and mathematics at Trinity College of Cambridge University; he taught philosophy of science at University College London — with special emphasis on the conceptual impact of contemporary physics; and he was professor of philosophy at Harvard University, beginning in 1924, where he taught metaphysics.

The marriage between character and thought bursts forth as the guests gather at Agathon’s house to celebrate the success of his first tragedy. With wit and insight, they each present their ideas about love — from Erixymachus’s scientific naturalism to Aristophanes’ comic fantasy. The unexpected arrival of Alcibiades breaks the spell cast by Diotima’s ethereal climb up the staircase of love to beauty itself.

Title: Plato’s Phaedrus Author: – Plato Narrator: Al Anderson, William Sigalis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 23 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Plato’s dialogues frequently cover several topics and show their connection to each other. The 'Phaedrus' is a model of that skill because of its seamless progression from examples of speeches about the nature of love to mythical visions of human nature and destiny to the essence of beauty and, finally, to a penetrating discussion of speaking and writing. It ends with an examination of the love of wisdom as a dialectical activity in the human mind. - Plato lived in Athens, Greece.

Title: Plato’s Phaedrus Author: – Plato Narrator: Al Anderson, William Sigalis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 23 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Plato’s dialogues frequently cover several topics and show their connection to each other. The 'Phaedrus' is a model of that skill because of its seamless progression from examples of speeches about the nature of love to mythical visions of human nature and destiny to the essence of beauty and, finally, to a penetrating discussion of speaking and writing. It ends with an examination of the love of wisdom as a dialectical activity in the human mind. - Plato lived in Athens, Greece. He wrote approximately two-dozen dialogues that explore core topics that are essential to all human beings. Although the historical Socrates was a strong influence on Plato, the character by that name that appears in many of his dialogues is a product of Plato’s fertile imagination.

Title: An Introduction to Metaphysics Author: Henri Bergson Narrator: Alberto Ghiraldo, Alberto De La Rocha, Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 5 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The basic principles that Bergson articulates, especially his way of thinking about reality as a dynamic process and his view of human beings as creative and evolving, should be helpful to anyone who seeks to go beyond simply dealing with the practical demands of daily life and consider the nature of things. Of special importance is Bergson’s claim that it is both possible and necessary to know from the inside rather than confining our attention to external perspectives and points of view. Intuition is able to get beyond what is relative and place us inside reality. This essay is, as the title says, an introduction. But if we think there is more to a human being — and even to nature itself — than material structures alone, perhaps the time has come to take a fresh look at Bergson’s essay. In 'An Introduction to Metaphysics,' Bergson traces the demise of metaphysics to the failure of both scientific materialism and dogmatism and to the immense success of a kind of pragmatism that promised liberation from the fruitless battles among various schools of philosophy. He also rejects relativism and criticizes the vacuum that is created when philosophers refuse to inquire about the nature of reality. To avoid metaphysics easily leads to a worldview shaped by unexamined ideas and hidden presuppositions.  - Henri Bergson was born in the year that Darwin published the Origin of the Species. He could not have imagined the philosophical impact of evolutionary theory, which is now so great that Bergson’s philosophy, which emphasizes 'creative evolution,' is experiencing a significant revival.

Title: Plato’s Meno Author: – Plato Narrator: Alex Panagopoulos, Travis Murray, Al Anderson, William Sigalis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 9 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A dialogue between Socrates and Meno probes the subject of ethics. Can goodness be taught? If it can, then we should be able to find teachers capable of instructing others about what is good and bad, right and wrong, or just and unjust. Socrates and Meno are unable to identify teachers of ethics, and we are left wondering how such knowledge could be acquired. To answer that puzzle, Socrates questions one of Meno’s servants in an attempt to show that we know fundamental ideas by recollecting them. - Plato lived in Athens, Greece.

Title: Aristotle’s Poetics Author: Aristotle Narrator: Alberto Ghiraldo, Alberto De La Rocha, Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 25 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Aristotle's Poetics is best known for its definition and analysis of tragedy and comedy, but it also applies to truth and beauty as they are manifested in the other arts. In our age, when the natural and social sciences have dominated the quest for truth, it is helpful to consider why Aristotle claimed: 'poetry is more philosophical and more significant than history.' Like so many other works by Aristotle, the Poetics has dominated the way we have thought about all forms of dramatic performance in Europe and America ever since. The essence of poetry lies in its ability to transcend the particulars of everyday experience and articulate universals, not merely what has happened but what might happen and what ought to happen.  - Perhaps the greatest tribute to Aristotle comes from St. Thomas Aquinas who, in the 13th century, simply referred to him as 'the Philosopher' and called him the master of those who know. Born in northeastern Greece, Aristotle went to Athens as a young man to study in Plato’s Academy where he remained for more than 20 years. When Plato died, he left the Academy, and four years later he returned to Macedonia to tutor the king’s son who quickly became Alexander the Great, the ruler of most of the civilized world. Like Plato, Aristotle’s writings extend far beyond what we currently call philosophy, including the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities.

Title: Lao Zi’s Dao De Jing Author: Lao Zi Narrator: Albert A. Anderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 26 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The 'Dao De Jing' exists on the border between poetry and philosophy, embracing both mythos and logos. Its poetic form can stand alone, but it is enriched when its timeless ideas are analyzed and explained through careful scholarship. For example: 'He who knows others is knowledgeable. He who knows himself is wise.' These words resemble Socrates’ account of his own quest in Plato’s 'Apology'. Ancient philosophy, both in China and in Greece, places self-knowledge at the center of the search for wisdom. Contemporary philosophers are often misled about this way of thinking, because the self has been detached from external things and separated from nature and society. The wisdom of China and of Europe unites human existence and nature. - Lao Zi was a scholar responsible for the imperial archives in China. He was a contemporary of Confucius, but most of what is told about his life is considered to be legend rather than documented history. One story says that Lao Zi grew weary of the foolish ways of his fellow human beings and headed to the desert to die. On the way, the gatekeeper recognized him and persuaded him to transcribe his wisdom before leaving. Whatever its source, the 'Dao De Jing' continues to shape the consciousness of human beings throughout the globe, turning the mind from the external world to the depths of the soul.

When he and Nicias, another general, are asked to explain the idea of courage, they are at a loss and words fail them. How does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can a lion be said to be courageous? What about small children who have little idea of the dangers they face? Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad consequences?

He is charged with impiety and corrupting young people. He presents his own defense, explaining why he has devoted his life to challenging the most powerful and important people in the Greek world. The reason is that rich and famous politicians, priests, poets, and a host of others pretend to know what is good, true, holy, and beautiful, but when Socrates questions them they are shown to be foolish rather than wise. - Plato lived in Athens, Greece.

He is charged with impiety and corrupting young people. He presents his own defense, explaining why he has devoted his life to challenging the most powerful and important people in the Greek world.

Title: Plato’s Greater Hippias Author: – Plato Narrator: William Sigalis, Ray Childs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 8 minutes Release date: April 2, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Hippias of Elis travels throughout the Greek world practicing and teaching the art of making beautiful speeches. On a rare visit to Athens, he meets Socrates who questions him about the nature of his art. Socrates is especially curious about how Hippias would define beauty. They agree that 'beauty makes all beautiful things beautiful,' but when Socrates presses him to say precisely what he means, Hippias is unable to deliver such a definition. The more Socrates probes, the more absurd the responses from Hippias become. This is one of Plato’s best comedies and one of his finest efforts at posing the philosophical problem of the difference between particular things and universal qualities. - Plato lived in Athens, Greece.

Title: Albert Camus: A Very Short Introduction Author: Oliver Gloag Narrator: Graham Halstead Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 1 minute Release date: May 12, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Few would question that Albert Camus (1913-1960), novelist, playwright, philosopher and journalist, is a major cultural icon. His widely quoted works have led to countless movie adaptions, graphic novels, pop songs, and even t-shirts. In this Very Short Introduction, Oliver Gloag chronicles the inspiring story of Camus' life. From a poor fatherless settler in French-Algeria to the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Gloag offers a comprehensive view of Camus' major works and interventions, including his notion of the absurd and revolt, as well as his highly original concept of pure happiness through unity with nature called 'bonheur'. This original introduction also addresses debates on coloniality, which have arisen around Camus' work. Gloag presents Camus in all his complexity a staunch defender of many progressive causes, fiercely attached to his French-Algerian roots, a writer of enormous talent and social awareness plagued by self-doubt, and a crucially relevant author whose major works continue to significantly impact our views on contemporary issues and events.

Title: A Field Guide to a Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons for Living Author: Massimo Pigliucci Narrator: Peter Coleman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 26 minutes Release date: September 15, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A brilliant philosopher reimagines Stoicism for our modern age in this thought-provoking guide to a better life. For more than two thousand years, Stoicism has offered a message of resilience in the face of hardship. Little wonder, then, that it is having such a revival in our own troubled times. But there is no denying how weird it can be: Is it really the case that we shouldn't care about our work, our loved ones, or our own lives? According to the old Stoics, yes. In A Field Guide to a Happy Life, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers a renewed Stoicism that reflects modern science and sensibilities. Pigliucci embraces the joyful bonds of affection, the satisfactions of a job well done, and the grief that attends loss. In his hands, Stoicism isn't about feats of indifference, but about enduring pain without being overwhelmed, while enjoying pleasures without losing our heads. In short, he makes Stoicism into a philosophy all of us -- whether committed Stoics or simply seekers -- can use to live better.

In his hands, Stoicism isn't about feats of indifference, but about enduring pain without being overwhelmed, while enjoying pleasures without losing our heads. In short, he makes Stoicism into a philosophy all of us -- whether committed Stoics or simply seekers -- can use to live better.

Title: A Field Guide to a Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons for Living Author: Massimo Pigliucci Narrator: Peter Coleman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 26 minutes Release date: September 15, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A brilliant philosopher reimagines Stoicism for our modern age in this thought-provoking guide to a better life. For more than two thousand years, Stoicism has offered a message of resilience in the face of hardship. Little wonder, then, that it is having such a revival in our own troubled times. But there is no denying how weird it can be: Is it really the case that we shouldn't care about our work, our loved ones, or our own lives? According to the old Stoics, yes. In A Field Guide to a Happy Life, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers a renewed Stoicism that reflects modern science and sensibilities. Pigliucci embraces the joyful bonds of affection, the satisfactions of a job well done, and the grief that attends loss. In his hands, Stoicism isn't about feats of indifference, but about enduring pain without being overwhelmed, while enjoying pleasures without losing our heads. In short, he makes Stoicism into a philosophy all of us -- whether committed Stoics or simply seekers -- can use to live better. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/423402 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/423402]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Power of Ethics: How to Make Good Choices When Our Culture Is on the Edge Author: Susan Liautaud Narrator: Susan Liautaud Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 25 minutes Release date: January 5, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The essential guide for ethical decision-making in the 21st century, The Power of Ethics depicts “ethical decision-making not in a nebulous philosophical space, but at the point where the rubber meets the road” (Michael Schur, producer and creator of The Good Place). It’s not your imagination: we’re living in a time of moral decline. Publicly, we’re bombarded with reports of government leaders acting against the welfare of their constituents; companies prioritizing profits over health, safety, and our best interests; and technology posing risks to society with few or no repercussions for those responsible. Personally, we may be conflicted about how much privacy to afford our children on the internet; how to make informed choices about our purchases and the companies we buy from; or how to handle misconduct we witness at home and at work. How do we find a way forward? Today’s ethical challenges are increasingly gray, often without a clear right or wrong solution, causing us to teeter on the edge of effective decision-making. With concentrated power structures, rapid advances in technology, and insufficient regulation to protect citizens and consumers, ethics are harder to understand than ever. But in The Power of Ethics, Susan Liautaud shows how ethics can be used to create a sea change of positive decisions that can ripple outward to our families, communities, workplaces, and the wider world—offering unprecedented opportunity for good. Drawing on two decades as an ethics advisor guiding corporations and leaders, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and students in her Stanford University ethics courses, Susan Liautaud provides clarity to blurry ethical questions, walking you through a straightforward, four-step process for ethical decision-making you can use every day. Liautaud also explains the six forces driving virtually every ethical choice we face. Exploring some of today’s most challenging ethics dilemmas and showing you how to develop a clear point of view, speak out with authority, make effective decisions, and contribute to a more ethical world for yourself and others, The Power of Ethics is the must-have ethics guide for the 21st century.

Title: [French] - Le Tao Te King + la biographie de son auteur : un Livre audio meditation Author: Lao-Tseu Narrator: Israel Nazir Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 14 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Le Tao Te King est un livre qui est célèbre pour deux raisons : la première est qu'il est reconnu depuis des millénaires comme le texte fondateur du Taoïsme, qui est un courant de la pensée religieuse chinoise et qui fait partie des trois principaux courant de pensée qui participèrent aux fondements de la culture chinoise et de sa civilisation. C'est un enseignement unique et philosophique, naturaliste et monothéiste. La deuxième chose qui rend le Tao Te King tristement célèbre est qu'il est le livre ayant au monde le plus grand nombre de traduction différentes, entre les traductions de traductions et les interprétations de traductions, entre les traductions d'interprétations et les interprétations d'interprétations, on voit fleurir une multitude de version différente de ce livre. Pour cette traduction, nous nous sommes appuyés sur le travail remarquable de Richard Sears qui est un chercheur américain en étymologique chinoise à l'université de Pékin. Cet homme impliqué depuis son plus jeune âge dans cette imminente recherche, cherche à trouver dans l'archéologie des textes anciens, le sens que les idéogrammes chinois avaient à leur origine, c'est à dire en chinois archaïque. Vous pouvez d'ailleurs trouver de plus amples informations sur son travail académique sur son site web : www.hanziyuan.net. Si son travail, s'est révélé être une aide précieuse dans cette traduction, c'est parce que le Tao Te King est un livre qui fut justement écrit à cette époque-là. C'est pourquoi, dans cette traduction nous nous sommes attachés à privilégier l'étymologie des idéogrammes chinois, plutôt que les sens que ceux-ci ont aujourd'hui. Nous nous sommes aussi attachés à suivre l'ordre des thèmes et des idées. Enfin, nous nous sommes attachés à avoir en français un style qui garde sa simplicité et sa sincérité, c'est à dire sa nature et sa complexité. Car, le secret de ce livre ne réside pas dans ce qu'il y est écrit mais plutôt dans ce qu'il n'y est pas écrit.

Title: Evolution for Everyone: How Darwin's Theory Can Change the Way We Think About Our Lives Author: David Sloan Wilson Narrator: René Ruiz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 57 minutes Release date: March 30, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: With stories that entertain as much as they inform, renowned evolutionist David Sloan Wilson outlines the basic principles of evolution and shows how, when properly understood, they can illuminate the length and breadth of creation, from the origin of life to the nature of religion.  What is the biological reason for gossip? For laughter? For the creation of art? Why do dogs have curly tails? What can microbes tell us about morality? These and many other questions are tackled by Wilson in this witty and groundbreaking new book. Now everyone can move beyond the sterile debates about creationism and intelligent design to share Darwin’s panoramic view of animal and human life, seamlessly connected to each other. Evolution, as Wilson explains, is not just about dinosaurs and human origins, but about why all species behave as they do—from beetles that devour their own young, to bees that function as a collective brain, to dogs that are smarter in some respects than our closest ape relatives. And basic evolutionary principles are also the foundation for humanity’s capacity for symbolic thought, culture, and morality. In example after example, Wilson sheds new light on Darwin’ s grand theory and how it can be applied to daily life. By turns thoughtful, provocative, and daringly funny, Evolution for Everyone addresses some of the deepest philosophical and social issues of this or any age. In helping us come to a deeper understanding of human beings and our place in the world, it might also help us to improve that world.

Èdip és l'heroi tràgic per antonomàsia: l'home just, intel·ligent, pietós envers els déus, que vol conèixer la veritat pel bé del seu poble, costi el que costi; i que no defalleix en l'intent de descobrir-la,malgrat que, a mesura que s'hi apropa, ja intueix que serà la causa de la seva ruïna. La solució diversa amb què Iocasta i Èdip afrontaran el coneixement de la veritat és també el reflex de dues maneres d'encarar les dificultats vitals. - Sòfocles va nèixer al voltant de 496.

This book shares secrets of the Direct Path that are rarely revealed. It examines topics hardly ever mentioned in non-duality discussions, such as the importance of ethics, the language of non-duality, the role of the guru, and the provisional nature of the Direct Path itself. Our modern world is one of myriad beliefs and traditions. Most seekers explore a variety of ideas and spiritual paths before finding something that feels right: Eastern and Western philosophies, orthodox practices and mystical experiences, independent studies or devotion to a teacher. After Awareness takes this diversity into account, treating the Direct Path as one approach among many, rather than an objectively true description of reality. This is no prescriptive, step-by-step book: After Awareness examines core principles in non-duality and provides context, examples, and critiques of these ideas. It explores the Direct Path without presuming belief in the path's concepts. Instead, you'll discover the central elements of the Direct Path—such as direct experience, awareness, and the witness—offered as tools of self-inquiry, not eternal truths.

Title: Fathoms: The World in the Whale Author: Rebecca Giggs Narrator: Shiromi Arserio Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 5 minutes Release date: July 28, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Winner of the 2021 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction * Finalist for the 2020 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction * Finalist for the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award A “delving, haunted, and poetic debut” (The New York Times Book Review) about the awe-inspiring lives of whales, revealing what they can teach us about ourselves, our planet, and our relationship with other species. When writer Rebecca Giggs encountered a humpback whale stranded on her local beachfront in Australia, she began to wonder how the lives of whales reflect the condition of our oceans. Fathoms: The World in the Whale is “a work of bright and careful genius” (Robert Moor, New York Times bestselling author of On Trails), one that blends natural history, philosophy, and science to explore: How do whales experience ecological change? How has whale culture been both understood and changed by human technology? What can observing whales teach us about the complexity, splendor, and fragility of life on earth? In Fathoms, we learn about whales so rare they have never been named, whale songs that sweep across hemispheres in annual waves of popularity, and whales that have modified the chemical composition of our planet’s atmosphere. We travel to Japan to board the ships that hunt whales and delve into the deepest seas to discover how plastic pollution pervades our earth’s undersea environment. With the immediacy of Rachel Carson and the lush prose of Annie Dillard, Giggs gives us a “masterly” (The New Yorker) exploration of the natural world even as she addresses what it means to write about nature at a time of environmental crisis. With depth and clarity, she outlines the challenges we face as we attempt to understand the perspectives of other living beings, and our own place on an evolving planet. Evocative and inspiring, Fathoms “immediately earns its place in the pantheon of classics of the new golden age of environmental writing” (Literary Hub).

Tratándose de la biografía introductoria de la que a todas luces puede considerarse la figura más influyente de todos los tiempos, resulta sin duda interesante.» Catherine Nixey, The Sunday Times Con la habilidad a la que nos tiene acostumbrados, Reza Aslan nos narra la historia de la religión para mostrarnos cómo esta ha estado marcada por nuestra insistencia en darle a Dios rasgos y emociones humanos. Según Aslan, esta tendencia a crear una versión divina de nosotros mismos es innata: está programada en nuestro cerebro, de ahí que sea una característica central de casi todas las tradiciones religiosas. Y esta proyección tiene consecuencias, pues le otorgamos a Dios no solo todo lo bueno de la naturaleza humana -nuestra compasión, nuestro afán de justicia - , sino también todo lo malo: nuestra avaricia, nuestro fanatismo, nuestra inclinación a la violencia. Todas estas cualidades informan nuestras religiones, culturas y gobiernos. Este libro es mucho más que una historia sobre la comprensión de Dios: es un intento de llegar a la raíz de este impulso humanizador para desarrollar una espiritualidad más universal. Creamos en un Dios, en muchos o en ninguno, este libro valiente, ambicioso y provocador transforma el modo en que pensamos en la religión, así como nuestra relación con la vida, la muerte, lo espiritual y, en definitiva, la esencia misma de la existencia humana. La crítica ha dicho... «Oportuno, fascinante, esclarecedor y necesario.» Huffington Post «Irresistible.

Title: Planet Qualia: Happiness, Landscapes, and Ecosystems Author: Tony Brussat Narrator: Tony Brussat Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 39 minutes Release date: February 6, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Animals participate directly with what they are interested in: on a scale of zero out of ten, both interest and participation levels are usually matched in the middle, both at five out of ten. This is in stark contrast to people, who desire their interest and participation levels to match at a high level. High interest and participation levels have made the human landscape an addictive landscape -- we pay attention only to Big Dopamine. Little Dopamine, on the other hand, is the path to recovery, for ourselves and our planet. We can regain our taste for Little Dopamine by refocusing ourselves upon qualia, instead of matter, and rebalancing our interest and participation levels in the middle. Rebalancing ourselves, through the simple practice of conscious ritualing, will not only free us from our addictions, but it will give us a greater purpose as well: saving our ecosystems. While landscapes are violent and competitive, ecosystems hold all landscapes together, harmoniously, and cooperatively. With ecosystems in mind, rather than landscapes, and qualia in our sights, rather than matter, we can break the Big Dopamine habit and change the human economy. Keeping up with the Joneses will have a different kind of status: not who has the most material goods, but who has the most qualiadelic gifts. Ecosystems are like God, and qualia is like the Holy Spirit which flows into all life.

Title: The Tibetan Book of the Dead: Liberation Through Understanding in the Between Author: Robert Thurman Narrator: Robert Thurman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 29 minutes Release date: November 3, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.22 of Total 18 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The most accessible and informative version of the Buddhist classic available in English, with instruction in meditation, illuminating commentary, and guidance in the practical use of the prayers   The so-called “Tibetan Book of the Dead” has been renowned for centuries as a cornerstone of Buddhist wisdom and religious thought. More recently, it has become highly influential in the Western world for its psychological insights into the processes of death and dying—and what they can teach us about the ways we live our lives. It has also been found to be helpful in the grieving process by people who have recently lost their loved ones.   Composed in the eighth century C.E., it is intended to prepare the soul for the trials and transformations of the afterworld. Its profound message is that the art of dying is as important as the art of living. Drawing on Tibetan spiritual traditions, it shows us the workings of the mind in its various manifestations—terrifying and comforting, wrathful and beautiful—which appear more clearly after death in the consciousness of the deceased. By recognizing these manifestations, we can attain a state of enlightenment, both in this existence and in the existence to come.   This authoritative translation preserves the form and spirit of the original and was prepared especially for Western readers by Robert A. F. Thurman, one of the most prominent Tibetan scholars in America and a close associate of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s.

Title: First Principles: What America's Founders Learned from the Greeks and Romans and How That Shaped Our Country Author: Thomas E. Ricks Narrator: James Lurie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 56 minutes Release date: November 10, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.19 of Total 26 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: New York Times Bestseller Editors' Choice —New York Times Book Review ''Ricks knocks it out of the park with this jewel of a book. On every page I learned something new. Read it every night if you want to restore your faith in our country.'' —James Mattis, General, U.S. Marines (ret.) & 26th Secretary of Defense  The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author offers a revelatory new book about the founding fathers, examining their educations and, in particular, their devotion to the ancient Greek and Roman classics—and how that influence would shape their ideals and the new American nation. On the morning after the 2016 presidential election, Thomas Ricks awoke with a few questions on his mind: What kind of nation did we now have? Is it what was designed or intended by the nation’s founders? Trying to get as close to the source as he could, Ricks decided to go back and read the philosophy and literature that shaped the founders’ thinking, and the letters they wrote to each other debating these crucial works—among them the Iliad, Plutarch’s Lives, and the works of Xenophon, Epicurus, Aristotle, Cato, and Cicero. For though much attention has been paid the influence of English political philosophers, like John Locke, closer to their own era, the founders were far more immersed in the literature of the ancient world. The first four American presidents came to their classical knowledge differently. Washington absorbed it mainly from the elite culture of his day; Adams from the laws and rhetoric of Rome; Jefferson immersed himself in classical philosophy, especially Epicureanism; and Madison, both a groundbreaking researcher and a deft politician, spent years studying the ancient world like a political scientist. Each of their experiences, and distinctive learning, played an essential role in the formation of the United States. In examining how and what they studied, looking at them in the unusual light of the classical world, Ricks is able to draw arresting and fresh portraits of men we thought we knew. First Principles follows these four members of the Revolutionary generation from their youths to their adult lives, as they grappled with questions of independence, and forming and keeping a new nation.

Title: First Principles: What America's Founders Learned from the Greeks and Romans and How That Shaped Our Country Author: Thomas E. Ricks Narrator: James Lurie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 56 minutes Release date: November 10, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.19 of Total 26 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: New York Times Bestseller Editors' Choice —New York Times Book Review ''Ricks knocks it out of the park with this jewel of a book. On every page I learned something new. Read it every night if you want to restore your faith in our country.'' —James Mattis, General, U.S. Marines (ret.) & 26th Secretary of Defense  The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author offers a revelatory new book about the founding fathers, examining their educations and, in particular, their devotion to the ancient Greek and Roman classics—and how that influence would shape their ideals and the new American nation. On the morning after the 2016 presidential election, Thomas Ricks awoke with a few questions on his mind: What kind of nation did we now have? Is it what was designed or intended by the nation’s founders? Trying to get as close to the source as he could, Ricks decided to go back and read the philosophy and literature that shaped the founders’ thinking, and the letters they wrote to each other debating these crucial works—among them the Iliad, Plutarch’s Lives, and the works of Xenophon, Epicurus, Aristotle, Cato, and Cicero. For though much attention has been paid the influence of English political philosophers, like John Locke, closer to their own era, the founders were far more immersed in the literature of the ancient world. The first four American presidents came to their classical knowledge differently. Washington absorbed it mainly from the elite culture of his day; Adams from the laws and rhetoric of Rome; Jefferson immersed himself in classical philosophy, especially Epicureanism; and Madison, both a groundbreaking researcher and a deft politician, spent years studying the ancient world like a political scientist. Each of their experiences, and distinctive learning, played an essential role in the formation of the United States. In examining how and what they studied, looking at them in the unusual light of the classical world, Ricks is able to draw arresting and fresh portraits of men we thought we knew. First Principles follows these four members of the Revolutionary generation from their youths to their adult lives, as they grappled with questions of independence, and forming and keeping a new nation. In doing so, Ricks interprets not only the effect of the ancient world on each man, and how that shaped our constitution and government, but offers startling new insights into these legendary leaders.

Title: The Enlightenment: The Pursuit of Happiness 1680-1790 Author: Ritchie Robertson Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 39 hours 42 minutes Release date: November 5, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The Enlightenment is one of the formative periods of Western history, yet more than 300 years after it began, it remains controversial. It is often seen as the fountainhead of modern values such as human rights, religious toleration, freedom of thought, scientific thought as an exemplary form of reasoning, and rationality and evidence-based argument. Others accuse the Enlightenment of putting forward a scientific rationality which ignores the complexity and variety of human beings, propagates shallow atheism, and aims to subjugate nature to so-called technical progress. Ritchie Robertson engages with all these views to show that the Enlightenment sought above all to increase human happiness in this world by promoting scientific inquiry and reasoned argument and by challenging the authority traditionally assumed by the Churches. His book presents illuminating readings of many key Enlightenment texts, and overturns many received opinions - for example, that enlightenment necessarily implied hostility to religion. Answering the question 'what is Enlightenment?' Kant famously urged men and women above all to use their ownunderstanding. Robertson shows how the thinkers of the Enlightenment did just that, seeking a rounded understanding of humanity in which reason was balanced with emotion and sensibility. It is a master-class in 'big picture' history, about one of the foundational epochs of modern times. © Ritchie Robertson 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020 Ritchie Robertson Thu, 05 Nov 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/420421 thebookvoice.com 39:42:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/420421]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Scepticism: A Very Short Introduction Author: Duncan Pritchard Narrator: Dennis Kleinman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 47 minutes Release date: April 14, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Throughout history scepticism and the urge to question accepted truths has been a powerful force for change and growth. Today, as we are bombarded by adverts, scientific studies praising the latest superfoods, and political rhetoric, a healthy amount of scepticism is widely encouraged. But when is such scepticism legitimate—for example, as a driver of new ideas—and when is it problematic? And what role might adopting a sceptical outlook play in leading an intellectually virtuous life? In this Very Short Introduction Duncan Pritchard explores both the advantages of scepticism, in challenging outdated notions, and also how it can have unhelpful social consequences, in generating distrust. He considers the role of scepticism at the source of contemporary social and political movements such as climate change denial, post-truth politics, and fake news. Pritchard also examines the philosophical arguments for a radical form of scepticism which maintains that knowledge is impossible, and explores some of the main responses to these arguments. Finally, he considers the part scepticism might play in applying better thinking and learning to achieve a more meaningful life.

Title: Aesthetics: A Very Short Introduction Author: Bence Nanay Narrator: Alex Wyndham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 1 minute Release date: May 26, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that explores the nature of art, beauty, and taste. It doesn't just consider traditional artistic experiences such as artworks in a museum or an opera performance, but also everyday experiences such as autumn leaves in the park, or even just the light of the setting sun falling on the kitchen table. It is also about your experience when you choose the shirt you're going to wear today or when you wonder whether you should put more pepper in the soup. Aesthetics is everywhere. It is one of the most important aspects of our life. In this Very Short Introduction Bence Nanay introduces the field of aesthetics, considering both Western and non-Western aesthetic traditions, and exploring why it is sometimes misunderstood or considered to be too elitist—by artists, musicians, and even philosophers. As Nanay shows, so-called 'high art' has no more claims on aesthetics than sitcoms, tattoos, or punk rock. In fact, the scope of aesthetics extends far wider than that of art, high or low, including much of what we care about in life. It is not the job of aesthetics to tell you which artworks are good and which ones are bad. It is not the job of aesthetics to tell you what experiences are worth having. If an experience is worth having for you, it thereby becomes the subject of aesthetics. This realization is important, because thinking about aesthetics in this inclusive way opens up new ways of understanding old questions about the social aspect of our aesthetic engagements, and the importance of aesthetic values for our own self.

Title: Use Intuition and Prophecy To Improve Your Life-By An Adept Author: Martin K. Ettington Narrator: Martin K. Ettington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 42 minutes Release date: January 30, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Welcome to this book about intuition and prophecy. My first book on the Topic was over ten years ago and is titled “Prophecy: A History and How to Guide”. That one was a general overview of the topic. This book is much more focused on how intuition and prophecy skills can be used to improve your life. So what are intuition and prophecy and why are they important? These two things are spiritual abilities which we all have and which allow us to see outside of the present. Like athletes some of us have more natural abilities than others. However, we can train and exercise our abilities to improve our lives. Prophecy is a more advanced form of intuition and has been used throughout history. Intuition is more about being immediately aware of what or who is around us while Prophecy is focused specifically on the future. While intuition is more immediate it too can be very useful. In fact all spiritual abilities can help or hinder our lives. This is true of any physical or mental abilities. I’ve also included a lot of information on the history of prophecy and research into the paranormal to show that people have been aware of these subjects throughout history and in modern times they have been researched by scientists. Lastly, I want to say that like learning anything new there are things to watch out for, but like all things we do there are risks and rewards. Hoping you enjoy this material and the stories related here. Martin K.

Title: Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women Author: Kate Manne Narrator: Cynthia Farrell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 5 minutes Release date: August 11, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A vital exploration of gender politics from a highly influential intellectual who has been described as 'the philosopher of #MeToo' Male entitlement takes many forms. To sex, yes, but more insidiously to admiration, bodily autonomy, knowledge, power, even care. In this urgent intervention, philosopher Kate Manne offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny. In clear-sighted, powerful prose, she ranges widely across the culture -- from the Kavanaugh hearings and 'Cat Person' to Harvey Weinstein and Elizabeth Warren -- to show how the idea that a privileged man is tacitly deemed to be owed something is a pervasive problem. Male entitlement can explain a wide array of phenomena, from mansplaining and the undertreatment of women's pain to mass shootings by incels and the seemingly intractable notion that women are 'unelectable'. The consequences for girls and women are often devastating. As Manne shows, toxic masculinity is not just the product of a few bad actors; we are all implicated, conditioned as we are by the currents of our time. With wit and intellectual fierceness, she sheds new light on gender and power and offers a vision of a world in which women are just as entitled as men to be cared for, believed and valued. © Kate Manne 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020 Kate Manne Tue, 11 Aug 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/418409 thebookvoice.com 6:5:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/418409]]> to listen full audiobooks.

In this audiobook, building on his academic studies in metaethics, Henry James Garrett sets out to do just that, exploring the sources and the limitations of human empathy and the many ways, big and small, that we can work toward being our best and kindest selves for the people around us and the society we need to build.

Title: The Alchemy of Us: How Humans and Matter Transformed One Another Author: Ainissa Ramirez Narrator: Allyson Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 54 minutes Release date: April 7, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In The Alchemy of Us, scientist and science writer Ainissa Ramirez examines eight inventions—clocks, steel rails, copper communication cables, photographic film, light bulbs, hard disks, scientific labware, and silicon chips—and reveals how they shaped the human experience. Ramirez tells the stories of the woman who sold time, the inventor who inspired Edison, and the hotheaded undertaker whose invention pointed the way to the computer. She describes, among other things, how our pursuit of precision in timepieces changed how we sleep; how the railroad helped commercialize Christmas; and how a young chemist exposed the use of Polaroid's cameras to create passbooks to track black citizens in apartheid South Africa. Ramirez shows not only how materials were shaped by inventors but also how those materials shaped culture, chronicling each invention and its consequences—intended and unintended. Filling in the gaps left by other books about technology, Ramirez showcases little-known inventors who had a significant impact but whose accomplishments have been hidden by mythmaking, bias, and convention. Doing so, she shows us the power of telling inclusive stories about technology. She also shows that innovation is universal—whether it's splicing beats with two turntables and a microphone or splicing genes with two test tubes and CRISPR.

Title: Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times Author: Jonathan Sacks Narrator: Jonathan Sacks Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 0 minutes Release date: September 1, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A distinguished religious leader's stirring case for reconstructing a shared framework of virtues and values. With liberal democracy embattled, public discourse grown toxic, family life breaking down, and drug abuse and depression on the rise, many fear what the future holds. In Morality, respected faith leader and public intellectual Jonathan Sacks traces today's crisis to our loss of a strong, shared moral code and our elevation of self-interest over the common good. We have outsourced morality to the market and the state, but neither is capable of showing us how to live. Sacks leads readers from ancient Greece to the Enlightenment to the present day to show that there is no liberty without morality and no freedom without responsibility, arguing that we all must play our part in rebuilding a common moral foundation. A major work of moral philosophy, Morality is an inspiring vision of a world in which we can all find our place and face the future without fear.

Title: Pioneer Of The Spirit Timothy Leary - The Lost Talks Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 29 minutes Release date: January 19, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: "Think for yourself and question authority." "Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition." "You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind." "The universe is an intelligence test." "Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top." "There are three side effects of acid: enhanced long-term memory, decreased short-term memory, and I forget the third." "You can always pick up your needle and move to another groove." "Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time." "In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today, he'd have a talk show." "We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go." As a close friend of Geoffrey Giuliano the amazing life of LSD advocate Dr. Timothy Leary is examined through the microscope of his great, abiding achievements as a philosopher, researcher, psychologist, and shaman.

Title: Breaking Bread with the Dead: A Reader's Guide to a More Tranquil Mind Author: Alan Jacobs Narrator: P.J. Ochlan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 51 minutes Release date: September 8, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: “At a time when many Americans . . . are engaged in deep reflection about the meaning of the nation's history [this] is an exceptionally useful companion for those who want to do so with honesty and integrity.” —Shelf Awareness From the author of How to Think and The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction, a literary guide to engaging with the voices of the past to stay sane in the present W. H. Auden once wrote that 'art is our chief means of breaking bread with the dead.' In his brilliant and compulsively readable new treatise, Breaking Bread with the Dead, Alan Jacobs shows us that engaging with the strange and wonderful writings of the past might help us live less anxiously in the present—and increase what Thomas Pynchon once called our 'personal density.' Today we are battling too much information in a society changing at lightning speed, with algorithms aimed at shaping our every thought—plus a sense that history offers no resources, only impediments to overcome or ignore. The modern solution to our problems is to surround ourselves only with what we know and what brings us instant comfort. Jacobs's answer is the opposite: to be in conversation with, and challenged by, those from the past who can tell us what we never thought we needed to know. What can Homer teach us about force? How does Frederick Douglass deal with the massive blind spots of America's Founding Fathers? And what can we learn from modern authors who engage passionately and profoundly with the past? How can Ursula K. Le Guin show us truths about Virgil's female characters that Virgil himself could never have seen? In Breaking Bread with the Dead, a gifted scholar draws us into close and sympathetic engagement with texts from across the ages, including the work of Anita Desai, Henrik Ibsen, Jean Rhys, Simone Weil, Edith Wharton, Amitav Ghosh, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Italo Calvino, and many more. By hearing the voices of the past, we can expand our consciousness, our sympathies, and our wisdom far beyond what our present moment can offer.

The modern solution to our problems is to surround ourselves only with what we know and what brings us instant comfort. Jacobs's answer is the opposite: to be in conversation with, and challenged by, those from the past who can tell us what we never thought we needed to know. What can Homer teach us about force? How does Frederick Douglass deal with the massive blind spots of America's Founding Fathers? And what can we learn from modern authors who engage passionately and profoundly with the past? How can Ursula K. Le Guin show us truths about Virgil's female characters that Virgil himself could never have seen? In Breaking Bread with the Dead, a gifted scholar draws us into close and sympathetic engagement with texts from across the ages, including the work of Anita Desai, Henrik Ibsen, Jean Rhys, Simone Weil, Edith Wharton, Amitav Ghosh, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Italo Calvino, and many more. By hearing the voices of the past, we can expand our consciousness, our sympathies, and our wisdom far beyond what our present moment can offer.

Title: Conscious Confidence: Use the Wisdom of Sanskrit to Find Clarity and Success Author: Sarah Mane Narrator: Sarah Mane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 50 minutes Release date: February 11, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A confidence-boosting program based on the spiritual insights of Sanskrit, the language of enlightenment • Draws on traditional stories from East and West and scholarly works to reveal the wisdom behind Sanskrit words and how to experience them to transform our lives and build confidence, certainty, clarity, and success • Explains the fourfold energy of the Conscious Confidence program: Focusing, Uniting, Simplifying, and Energizing • Offers practical exercises for discovering our inner certainty and overcoming fear, anxiety, and insecurity Called “the language of enlightenment,” Sanskrit is truly unique among all the languages of the world. This ancient language, upon which so many of our English words are based, gives us an entire system to show what to do in order to experience the full meaning of a word. In this profound way, Sanskrit offers a touchstone of timeless wisdom that each of us can access to transform our lives and build confidence, certainty, clarity, and success. In Conscious Confidence, Sanskrit scholar Sarah Mane offers a practical confidence-boosting program, derived from the deepest meanings of Sanskrit concepts, to help you establish a safe and secure reference point from which to see the world and make clear decisions on how to act, what to say, and how to feel. She explores the Sanskrit roots of English words related to confidence and success, unlocking rich, three-dimensional understandings of each word as well as guidance on how to obtain confidence and find your path in life. For example, the word attitude, based on its Sanskrit roots, means “our point of view, our intent, and our conduct.” A positive attitude means we have a self-aware point of view, have an intent for the good, and conduct ourselves in ways that reflect both. This true attitude gives us a positive and powerful place from which to view the world. The author also incorporates traditional stories from East and West, such as the Mahabharata and the works of Plato, scholarly references, and accounts of people discovering hidden depths in their own lives through the ancient truth of Sanskrit. Drawing upon the deeper meanings behind several Sanskrit words for confidence, Mane outlines principles for harnessing the fourfold energies of Conscious Confidence and offers practical exercises for discovering our inner certainty. She explains how the Conscious Confidence method allows us to tackle the growing anxiety and fear that hang like a shadow over many of us and look to the unchanging core of selfhood for certainty, rather than ever-changing externals. With the Conscious Confidence program and the wisdom of Sanskrit, you can discover a strong and steady inner source of compassion, self-direction, self-empowerment, and the life force of self-confidence.

Title: LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven Author: Christopher M. Bache Narrator: Christopher M. Bache Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 0 minutes Release date: February 11, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.83 of Total 6 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A professor of religious studies meticulously documents his insights from 73 high-dose LSD sessions conducted over the course of 20 years • Chronicles, with unprecedented rigor, the author’s systematic journey into a unified field of consciousness that underlies all physical existence • Makes a powerful case for the value of psychedelically induced spiritual experience and discusses the challenge of integrating these experiences into everyday life • Shows how psychedelic experience can take you beyond self-transformation into collective transformation and help birth the future of humanity On November 24, 1979, Christopher M. Bache took the first step on what would become a life-changing journey. Drawing from his training as a philosopher of religion, Bache set out to explore his mind and the mind of the universe as deeply and systematically as possible--with the help of the psychedelic drug LSD. Following protocols established by Stanislav Grof, Bache’s 73 high-dose LSD sessions over the course of 20 years drew him into a deepening communion with cosmic consciousness. Journey alongside professor Bache as he touches the living intelligence of our universe--an intelligence that both embraced and crushed him--and demonstrates how direct experience of the divine can change your perspective on core issues in philosophy and religion. Chronicling his 73 sessions, the author reveals the spiral of death and rebirth that took him through the collective unconscious into the creative intelligence of the universe. Making a powerful case for the value of psychedelically induced spiritual experience, Bache shares his immersion in the fierce love and creative intent of the unified field of consciousness that underlies all physical existence. He describes the incalculable value of embracing the pain and suffering he encountered in his sessions and the challenges he faced integrating his experiences into his everyday life. His journey documents a shift from individual consciousness to collective consciousness, from archetypal reality to Divine Oneness and the Diamond Luminosity that lies outside cyclic existence. Pushing the boundaries of theory and practice, the author shows how psychedelic experience can take you beyond self-transformation into collective transformation, beyond the present into the future, revealing spirit and matter in perfect balance.

Title: How to Drink: A Classical Guide to the Art of Imbibing Series: Part of Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers Author: Vincent Obsopoeus Narrator: Roger Clark Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 34 minutes Release date: April 14, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A spirited new translation of a forgotten classic, shot through with timeless wisdom Is there an art to drinking alcohol? Can drinking ever be a virtue? The Renaissance humanist and neoclassical poet Vincent Obsopoeus (ca. 1498–1539) thought so. In the winelands of sixteenth-century Germany, he witnessed the birth of a poisonous new culture of bingeing, hazing, peer pressure, and competitive drinking. Alarmed, and inspired by the Roman poet Ovid's Art of Love, he wrote The Art of Drinking (De Arte Bibendi) (1536), a how-to manual for drinking with pleasure and discrimination. In How to Drink, Michael Fontaine offers the first proper English translation of Obsopoeus's text, rendering his poetry into spirited, contemporary prose and uncorking a forgotten classic that will appeal to drinkers of all kinds and (legal) ages. Arguing that moderation, not abstinence, is the key to lasting sobriety, and that drinking can be a virtue if it is done with rules and limits, Obsopoeus teaches us how to manage our drinking, how to win friends at social gatherings, and how to give a proper toast. But he also says that drinking to excess on occasion is okay—and he even tells us how to win drinking games, citing extensive personal experience.

Title: Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius Author: Stephen Hanselman, Ryan Holiday Narrator: Ryan Holiday Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 8 minutes Release date: September 29, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Instant New York Times Advice & Business Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, and Wall Street Journal #1 Bestseller! A New York Times Noteworthy Pick and a 'stellar work' by Publishers Weekly From the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue. Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire. In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known--and not so well-known--Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius--slaves to emperors--is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any reader in search of inspiration from the past.

Title: Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius Author: Stephen Hanselman, Ryan Holiday Narrator: Ryan Holiday Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 8 minutes Release date: September 29, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Instant New York Times Advice & Business Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, and Wall Street Journal #1 Bestseller! A New York Times Noteworthy Pick and a 'stellar work' by Publishers Weekly From the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue. Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire. In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known--and not so well-known--Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius--slaves to emperors--is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life.

Title: How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps Author: Ben Shapiro Narrator: Ben Shapiro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 19 minutes Release date: July 21, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.64 of Total 184 Ratings of Narrator: 3.7 of Total 23 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! A growing number of Americans want to tear down what it’s taken us 250 years to build—and they’ll start by canceling our shared history, ideals, and culture. Traditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing. We can’t agree on what makes America special. We can’t even agree that America is special. We’re coming to the point that we can’t even agree what the word America itself means. “Disintegrationists” say we’re stronger together, but their assault on America’s history, philosophy, and culture will only tear us apart. Who are the disintegrationists? From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times’ 1619 project, many modern analyses view American history through the lens of competing oppressions, a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning. They see American philosophy as a lie – beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system. They see America’s culture of rights as a façade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals. Disintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because they replace each foundational belief, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, with nothing more than an increased reliance on the government.  This twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional “unionist” understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of universal ideals. How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves, our history, and reality itself—to be unionists instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don’t recover these shared truths, our future—our union—as a great country is threatened with destruction.

Title: Every Life Is On Fire: How Thermodynamics Explains the Origins of Living Things Author: Jeremy England Narrator: Benjamin Isaac Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 46 minutes Release date: September 15, 2020 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A preeminent physicist unveils a field-defining theory of the origins and purpose of life. Why are we alive? Most things in the universe aren't. And everything that is alive traces back to things that, puzzlingly, weren't. For centuries, the scientific question of life's origins has confounded us. But in Every Life Is on Fire, physicist Jeremy England argues that the answer has been under our noses the whole time, deep within the laws of thermodynamics. England explains how, counterintuitively, the very same forces that tend to tear things apart assembled the first living systems. But how life began isn't just a scientific question. We ask it because we want to know what it really means to be alive. So England, an ordained rabbi, uses his theory to examine how, if at all, science helps us find purpose in a vast and mysterious universe. In the tradition of Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Every Life Is on Fire is a profound testament to how something can come from nothing.

Title: Nonconformity: Writing on Writing Author: Nelson Algren Narrator: Richard Poe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 54 minutes Release date: October 1, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The struggle to write with deep emotion is the subject of this extraordinary book, the previously unpublished credo of one of America’s greatest twentieth-century writers. “You don’t write a novel out of sheer pity any more than you blow a safe out of a vague longing to be rich,” writes Nelson Algren in his only longer work of nonfiction, adding: “A certain ruthlessness and a sense of alienation from society is as essential to creative writing as it is to armed robbery.” Nonconformity is about twentieth-century America: “Never on the earth of man has he lived so tidily as here amidst such psychological disorder.” And it is about the trouble writers ask for when they try to describe America: “Our myths are so many, our vision so dim, our self-deception so deep and our smugness so gross that scarcely any way now remains of reporting the American Century except from behind the billboards … [where there] are still … defeats in which everything is lost [and] victories that fall close enough to the heart to afford living hope.” In Nonconformity, Algren identifies the essential nature of the writer’s relation to society, drawing examples from Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Twain, and Fitzgerald, as well as utility infielder Leo Durocher and legendary barkeep Martin Dooley. He shares his deepest beliefs about the state of literature and its role in society, along the way painting a chilling portrait of the early 1950s, Joe McCarthy’s heyday, when many American writers were blacklisted and ruined for saying similar things to what Algren is saying here.

A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person while deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses themselves. 4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. 5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

You never were. You never will be. We are not separate from each other. But we don’t always believe it, and we certainly don’t always practice it. In fact, we often practice the opposite—disconnection and domination.  From unconscious bias to “cancel culture,” denial of our inherent interconnection limits our own freedom. In You Belong, much-admired meditation expert Sebene Selassie reveals that accepting our belonging is the key to facing the many challenges currently impacting our world. Using ancient philosophy, multidisciplinary research, exquisite storytelling, and razor-sharp wit, Selassie leads us in an exploration of all the ways we separate (and thus suffer) and offers a map back to belonging.  To belong is to experience joy in any moment: to feel pleasure, dance in public, accept death, forgive what seems unforgivable, and extend kindness to yourself and others. To belong is also to acknowledge injustice, reckon with history, and face our own shadows. Full of practical advice and profound revelations, You Belong makes a winning case for resisting the forces that demand separation and reclaiming the connection—and belonging—that have been ours all along.

Title: Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women Author: Kate Manne Narrator: Cynthia Farrell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 5 minutes Release date: August 11, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: An urgent exploration of men’s entitlement and how it serves to police and punish women, from the acclaimed author of Down Girl “Kate Manne is a thrilling and provocative feminist thinker. Her work is indispensable.”—Rebecca Traister  NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE ATLANTIC In this bold and stylish critique, Cornell philosopher Kate Manne offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny. Ranging widely across the culture, from Harvey Weinstein and the Brett Kavanaugh hearings to “Cat Person” and the political misfortunes of Elizabeth Warren, Manne’s book shows how privileged men’s sense of entitlement—to sex, yes, but more insidiously to admiration, care, bodily autonomy, knowledge, and power—is a pervasive social problem with often devastating consequences. In clear, lucid prose, Manne argues that male entitlement can explain a wide array of phenomena, from mansplaining and the undertreatment of women’s pain to mass shootings by incels and the seemingly intractable notion that women are “unelectable.” Moreover, Manne implicates each of us in toxic masculinity: It’s not just a product of a few bad actors; it’s something we all perpetuate, conditioned as we are by the social and cultural mores of our time. The only way to combat it, she says, is to expose the flaws in our default modes of thought while enabling women to take up space, say their piece, and muster resistance to the entitled attitudes of the men around them. With wit and intellectual fierceness, Manne sheds new light on gender and power and offers a vision of a world in which women are just as entitled as men to our collective care and concern.

Title: Dark Nights of the Soul: A Guide to Finding Your Way Through Life's Ordeals Author: Thomas Moore Narrator: Thomas Moore Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 25 minutes Release date: May 3, 2004 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Every human life is made up of the light and the dark, the happy and the sad, the vital and the deadening. How you think about this rhythm of moods makes all the difference. Our lives are filled with emotional tunnels: the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, aging and illness, career disappointments or just an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction with life. Society tends to view these “dark nights” in clinical terms as obstacles to be overcome as quickly as possible. But Moore shows how honoring these periods of fragility as periods of incubation and positive opportunities to delve the soul’s deepest needs can provide healing and a new understanding of life’s meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul presents these metaphoric dark nights not as the enemy, but as times of transition, occasions to restore yourself, and transforming rites of passage, revealing an uplifting and inspiring new outlook on such topics as: • The healing power of melancholy • The sexual dark night and the mysteries of matrimony • Finding solace during illness and in aging • Anxiety, anger, and temporary Insanities • Linking creativity, spirituality, and emotional struggles • Finding meaning and beauty in the darkness Thomas Moore Mon, 03 May 2004 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/413875 thebookvoice.com 11:25:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/413875]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: That One Patient: Doctors and Nurses’ Stories of the Patients Who Changed Their Lives Forever Author: Ellen De Visser Narrator: Julian Wadham, Karen Cass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 59 minutes Release date: February 18, 2021 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: THE INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER FEATURING INTERVIEWS WITH DR ANTHONY FAUCI, DAME SALLY DAVIES AND DR JIM DOWN For every doctor there is that one patient, whose story touches them in a way they didn’t expect, changing their entire outlook on life. This inspiring and deeply moving book is the story of those patients. Every weekend, in Holland’s most popular newspaper, de Volkskrant, renowned science-journalist Ellen de Visser asks a different medical professional to tell her about ‘that one patient’; the patient who changed everything for them. Every day, in every country, thousands of patients share their stories with their doctors: stories they may never have told anyone else; stories that are heartbreaking, sometimes funny, and – just occasionally – unforgettable. To be able to do their job to the best of their abilities, medical experts use their ‘professional empathy’: they sympathize with their patients but try to keep themselves at a distance. But there is always that one patient who, for whatever reason, bridges this distance and often unwittingly, has a lasting impact on their doctor’s life. There’s the dying patient whose decision to donate their organs would save the lives of five different people, bringing incredible comfort to the family they left behind. Or the little girl who showed clear evidence of having been beaten by an adult, but who remained too loyal to her step-father to say a word. There’s the little boy, diagnosed with life-threatening malaria in a Sudanese refugee camp, whose astonishing survival against the odds still inspires their doctor each time they stand by the bed of a child who looks unlikely to make it. And there’s the cancer patient whose love of cycling and unflagging optimism inspired his oncologist in ways he could never have imagined. That One Patient is brimming with intimate stories of connection and of the unanticipated ways we can affect one other’s lives. All of them remind us of just how extraordinary humans can be, and of our incredible capacity for bravery, strength and humour.

Title: The World According to Physics Author: Jim Al-Khalili Narrator: Jim Al-Khalili Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 35 minutes Release date: March 10, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by quantum physicist, New York Times bestselling author, and BBC host Jim Al-Khalili offers an illuminating look at what physics reveals about the world Shining a light on the most profound insights revealed by modern physics, Jim Al-Khalili invites us all to understand what this crucially important science tells us about the universe and the nature of reality itself. Al-Khalili begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of space, time, energy, and matter, and then describes the three pillars of modern physics—quantum theory, relativity, and thermodynamics—showing how all three must come together if we are ever to have a full understanding of reality. Using wonderful examples and thought-provoking analogies, Al-Khalili illuminates the physics of the extreme cosmic and quantum scales, the speculative frontiers of the field, and the physics that underpins our everyday experiences and technologies, bringing the reader up to speed with the biggest ideas in physics in just a few sittings. Physics is revealed as an intrepid human quest for ever more foundational principles that accurately explain the natural world we see around us, an undertaking guided by core values such as honesty and doubt. The knowledge discovered by physics both empowers and humbles us, and still, physics continues to delve valiantly into the unknown. Making even the most enigmatic scientific ideas accessible and captivating, this deeply insightful book illuminates why physics matters to everyone and calls one and all to share in the profound adventure of seeking truth in the world around us.

Making even the most enigmatic scientific ideas accessible and captivating, this deeply insightful book illuminates why physics matters to everyone and calls one and all to share in the profound adventure of seeking truth in the world around us. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/413200 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/413200]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: How to Justify Torture: Inside the Ticking Bomb Scenario Author: Alex Adams Narrator: Antony Ferguson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 31 minutes Release date: September 10, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From Batman Begins to Tom Clancy, How to Justify Torture shows how contemporary culture creates simplified narratives about good guy torturers and bad guy victims, how dangerous this is politically, and what we can do to challenge it. The ticking bomb scenario is a thought experiment designed to demonstrate that torture can be justified in emergency conditions. If there was a bomb hidden somewhere in a major city, would it be justified to torture a captured informant in order to obtain the critical information that could prevent a devastating terrorist attack? In How to Justify Torture, cultural critic Alex Adams examines this thought experiment in depth by exploring the wide range of cultural productions—from military thrillers, through superhero movies, to home-invasion narratives—which repeatedly ask us this question about torture. By critiquing the argument step by step, this short, provocative book reminds us why torture can never be justified.

Title: A Letter Concerning Toleration Author: John Locke Narrator: Philip Ray Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 38 minutes Release date: December 8, 2019 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: ‘A Letter Concerning Toleration’ by John Locke was originally published in Latin in 1689. It was Locke's response to the problem of religion and government; he proposed religious toleration as the answer. For Locke, the only way a Church gains genuine converts is through persuasion, not violence. Arguing that the government should not involve itself in spiritual matters, he offers three main reasons: individuals cannot divest control over their souls to secular forces, as God does not appoint the magistrate; force cannot bring about the change necessary for salvation as it cannot change one's beliefs; and there is no reason to believe that magistrates are reliable judges of religious truth. As an empiricist, Locke also considered the practical, such as religious toleration on the peace of civil society.

Title: The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers Author: Eric Weiner Narrator: Eric Weiner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 20 minutes Release date: August 25, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.23 of Total 26 Ratings of Narrator: 4.67 of Total 3 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The New York Times bestselling author of The Geography of Bliss embarks on a rollicking intellectual journey, following in the footsteps of history’s greatest thinkers and showing us how each—from Epicurus to Gandhi, Thoreau to Beauvoir—offers practical and spiritual lessons for today’s unsettled times. We turn to philosophy for the same reasons we travel: to see the world from a dif­ferent perspective, to unearth hidden beauty, and to find new ways of being. We want to learn how to embrace wonder. Face regrets. Sustain hope. Eric Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and travel in a globe-trotting pil­grimage that uncovers surprising life lessons from great thinkers around the world, from Rousseau to Nietzsche, Confucius to Simone Weil. Traveling by train (the most thoughtful mode of transport), he journeys thousands of miles, making stops in Athens, Delhi, Wyoming, Coney Island, Frankfurt, and points in between to recon­nect with philosophy’s original purpose: teaching us how to lead wiser, more meaningful lives. From Socrates and ancient Athens to Beauvoir and 20th-century Paris, Weiner’s chosen philosophers and places provide important practical and spiritual lessons as we navigate today’s chaotic times. In a “delightful” odyssey that “will take you places intellectually and humorously” (San Francisco Book Review), Weiner invites us to voyage alongside him on his life-changing pursuit of wisdom and discovery as he attempts to find answers to our most vital questions. The Socrates Express is “full of valuable lessons…a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and bubble-gum philosophy approach and gradually pulls them in deeper and deeper” (NPR).

In his entertaining book, Mr. Eilenberger shows that his magicians’ thoughts are still worth collecting, even if, with hindsight, we can see that some performed too many intellectual conjuring tricks.” —Wall Street Journal A grand narrative of the intertwining lives of Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Ernst Cassirer, major philosophers whose ideas shaped the twentieth century The year is 1919. The horror of the First World War is fresh for the protagonists of Time of the Magicians, each of whom finds himself at a crucial juncture. Benjamin is trying to flee his overbearing father and floundering in his academic career, living hand to mouth as a critic. Wittgenstein, by contrast, has dramatically decided to divest himself of the monumental fortune he stands to inherit, in search of spiritual clarity. Meanwhile, Heidegger, having managed to avoid combat in war by serving as a meteorologist, is carefully cultivating his career. Finally, Cassirer is working furiously on the margins of academia, applying himself to his writing and the possibility of a career at Hamburg University. The stage is set for a great intellectual drama, which will unfold across the next decade. The lives and ideas of this extraordinary philosophical quartet will converge as they become world historical figures. But as the Second World War looms on the horizon, their fates will be very different.

Title: The Force of Nonviolence: An Ethico-Political Bind Author: Judith Butler Narrator: Coleen Marlo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 52 minutes Release date: February 4, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 4 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Judith Butler's new book shows how an ethic of nonviolence must be connected to a broader political struggle for social equality. Further, it argues that nonviolence is often misunderstood as a passive practice, or as an individualist ethical relation to existing forms of power. But, in fact, nonviolence is an ethical position found in the midst of the political field. An aggressive form of nonviolence accepts that hostility is part of our psychic constitution, but values ambivalence as a way of checking the conversion of aggression into violence. One contemporary challenge to a politics of nonviolence points out that there is a difference of opinion on what counts as violence and nonviolence. The distinction between them can be mobilized in the service of ratifying the state's monopoly on violence. Considering nonviolence as an ethical problem within a political philosophy requires a critique of individualism as well as an understanding of the psychosocial dimensions of violence. Butler draws upon Foucault, Fanon, Freud, and Benjamin to consider how the interdiction against violence fails to include lives regarded as ungrievable. By considering how 'racial phantasms' inform justifications of state and administrative violence, Butler tracks how violence is often attributed to those who are most severely exposed to its lethal effects.

Title: The Force of Nonviolence: An Ethico-Political Bind Author: Judith Butler Narrator: Coleen Marlo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 52 minutes Release date: February 4, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 4 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Judith Butler's new book shows how an ethic of nonviolence must be connected to a broader political struggle for social equality. Further, it argues that nonviolence is often misunderstood as a passive practice, or as an individualist ethical relation to existing forms of power. But, in fact, nonviolence is an ethical position found in the midst of the political field. An aggressive form of nonviolence accepts that hostility is part of our psychic constitution, but values ambivalence as a way of checking the conversion of aggression into violence. One contemporary challenge to a politics of nonviolence points out that there is a difference of opinion on what counts as violence and nonviolence.

Title: Beyond Good and Evil: Penguin Classics Author: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 27 minutes Release date: April 23, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. 'One of the greatest books of a very great thinker' Michael Tanner This Penguin Classic is performed by Leighton Pugh, known for his various roles at the National Theatre. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Michael Tanner. Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects traditional Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche seeks to demonstrate that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world. Translated by R. J.

Title: Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe Author: Brian Greene Narrator: Brian Greene Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 36 minutes Release date: February 18, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. From the world-renowned physicist and best-selling author of The Elegant Universe comes this captivating exploration of deep time and humanity's search for purpose In both time and space, the cosmos is astoundingly vast, and yet is governed by simple, elegant, universal mathematical laws. On this cosmic timeline, our human era is spectacular but fleeting. Someday, we know, we will all die. And, we know, so too will the universe itself. Until the End of Time is Brian Greene's breathtaking new exploration of the cosmos and our quest to understand it. Greene takes us on a journey across time, from our most refined understanding of the universe's beginning, to the closest science can take us to the very end. He explores how life and mind emerged from the initial chaos, and how our minds, in coming to understand their own impermanence, seek in different ways to give meaning to experience: in story, myth, religion, creative expression, science, the quest for truth, and our longing for the timeless, or eternal. Through a series of nested stories that explain distinct but interwoven layers of reality-from the quantum mechanics to consciousness to black holes-Greene provides us with a clearer sense of how we came to be, a finer picture of where we are now, and a firmer understanding of where we are headed. Yet all this understanding, which arose with the emergence of life, will dissolve with its conclusion. Which leaves us with one realization: during our brief moment in the sun, we are tasked with the charge of finding our own meaning. Let us embark. © Brian Greene 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020 Brian Greene Tue, 18 Feb 2020 01:28:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/408160 thebookvoice.com 14:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/408160]]> to listen full audiobooks.
