However, the reader (Moe Egan) doesn't do a very good job: in several parts she repeats words and e.g. in the introduction talks about William JONES. Her speech sounds synthesised and she doesn't sound like she understands what she's reading. The recording of "Pluralistic Universe" is much better. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Mills-On-Liberty-Audiobook/B01CO5FSHI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

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. Mill's philosophical presentation and analysis of those principles stand alongside the reflections of Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. 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 effective antidote to the poisons of excessive intrusion into the lives of individuals.

Members Reviews: Look elsewhere. "Summary" is the key word in this title. No analysis whatsoever. My fault for not reading the reviews. Don't waste your time. Rip off! Not kidding, and I'm not a troll. I can't remember when I've written a negative review because I'm open to a book just not necessarily appealing to my taste. BUT, this book's content just names the chapter titles - not exaggerating - and wisdom should come from that?!? Audible should remove this from its offerings.

Philosophy starts with questions, but attempts at answers are just as important, and these answers require reasoned argument. Cutting through notoriously dense and verbose philosophical prose, the authors set 100 famous and influential arguments in context, including key quotations, to explain the original style and approach. Each argument is laid bare in its essential form, with premises and conclusions plainly identified and the form of argument specified. Designed to offer a quick and compact reference to everything from Aquinas' Five Ways to prove the existence of God to the metaphysical possibilities of zombie minds, Just the Arguments is an invaluable onestop argument shop. Michael Bruce currently researches in the history of philosophy. He has taught philosophy and mathematics courses at the University of Washingtons Robinson Center for Young Scholars. Steven Barbone is Associate Professor of Philosophy at San Diego State University. Critic Reviews: An invaluable tool for studentsor anyone interested in philosophy Just the Arguments distills the most important arguments from the Western philosophical tradition into concise and lucid prose.

(Fritz Allhoff, Western Michigan University) Members Reviews: Like reading a grocery list This really is just a reference book for introductory philosophy courses, and it did not translate well at all to the audio format. I'm sure the actual content is of good quality, but it is NOT for the armchair philosopher. As the narrator listed off each component of each argument, it was very difficult to keep track of what was being said. I'm sure reading it would have been better, but again, this isn't a book for readers who just want to know more about the 100 best arguments. It's for people who need to know how the arguments are technically structured. Difficult to follow Would you try another book from Michael Bruce and Steven Barbone and/or Mark Ashby? Not sure. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I enjoyed the parts that flowed like a story, but the ones that were in premises and conclusions format were too boring. Overall, the book was difficult to understand for someone who took philosophy classes too long ago. I would need a refresher introductory course to be able to follow the reading, I guess. In addition, this is not the kind of book to listen while you're driving, although I chose an audiobook because I spend a considerable amount of time commuting. For all these reasons, I am trying to return it. Did Just the Arguments inspire you to do anything? Return the book and take an introductory philosophy class. Great book, but not for listening! Any additional comments? I think this is a fantastic book for getting the basic philosophical ideas and arguments out there and on the table for discussion. I wish I had this book when I was in college. The problem with the Audible edition is that you really need to see the arguments on paper and read them a couple of times. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/On-the-Ends-of-Good-and-Evil-Audiobook/B078GYYRKC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: On the Ends of Good and Evil Author: Marcus Tullius Cicero Narrator: Derek Le Page Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-17 Publisher: Ukemi Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Towards the end of his life and his career as one of the leading politicians and orators in Rome, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BCE-43 BCE) was exiled to his country house. It was a time of political turmoil in the capital of the empire, caused by the power-grab of Julius Caesar. In the quiet of the countryside, Cicero began to write on philosophy. In On the Ends of Good and Evil, he set out to consider three major traditions of Greek philosophy - Epicureanism, Stoicism and a branch of Platonism proposed by Antiochus of Ascalon (promoting 'the happy life'). Using a form of the dialectical approach established by Plato in his Socratic Dialogues, Cicero introduces characters who propose each tradition, and then Cicero himself responds with a critical appraisal - a stimulating and engaging pattern. De finibus bonorum et malorum (meaning also the 'final or ultimate aim' of good and evil) is a fascinating document. And, as suiting a man of the world (which Cicero clearly was), he comes to a preferred conclusion after surveying the three traditions. Interestingly, the work opens with an introductory passage in which Cicero explains why he is writing a work such as this, giving an intriguing insight into his time. In Rome, he explains, the study of Greek philosophy was the preserve of Romans who read Greek, and translations of the originals into Latin were frowned upon by scholars. Cicero felt this lofty attitude should not be the case. The wisdom of the past should be open to everyone, he argues, and he proceeds to summarise the Greek philosophic traditions and offer critiques for the benefit of his fellow Roman citizens.

Translation by H. Harris Rackham. Members Reviews: Engaging I recently read the book Friends Divided by Gordon S. Wood. In the book Wood made a point that Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BCE-43 BCE) was a favorite of both John Adams (1735-1826) and Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) and they quoted Cicero frequently. I have always enjoyed reading about Cicero, but I suddenly realized I have never read any of his books. Audible had this audiobook by Cicero written toward the end of his life while he was in exile at his countryside estate. Apparently, he did a great deal of writing during this period. In this book Cicero discusses the philosophical views of Epicureanism and Stoicism. The book was written in 45 BCE. I wish that I had the skill to read this in Latin. This book was translated to English by Harris Rackham. I am always in awe of reading a book written so long ago and yet it is valid today. I found the method Cicero used in writing extremely helpful in understanding his debates. The way he had different friends and himself debate back and forth the various points of each philosophy made me feel I was sitting with him and his friends in a patio drinking tea/wine. It was such a delight to have Cicero at times include me in the conversation. This is how I spent my Christmas Day, sitting in a garden with Cicero discussing philosophy. Oh, it was such a pleasant day. The book is just over nine hours. Derek LePage does a good job narrating the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Moral-Choices-Audio-Lectures-Audiobook/B01MUGZJGX Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Philosophy Subtitle: Who Needs It Author: Ayn Rand Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 04-25-07 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 265 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics. According to Ayn Rand, the choice we make is not whether to have a philosophy, but which one to have: a rational, conscious, and therefore practical one, or a contradictory, unidentified, and ultimately lethal one. Written with all the clarity and eloquence that have placed Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy in the mainstream of American thought, these essays range over such basic issues as education, morality, censorship, and inflation to prove that philosophy is the fundamental force in all our lives. Critic Reviews: "For those who want to understand the philosophic implications of our era, this collection by Ayn Rand is an excellent place to begin." (News-Leader) "Although this omnibus volume...is written for an audience of believers, readers unfamiliar with [Rand's] novels might find it a useful starting point."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Deep and provocative This is not light listening. It is best on long trips, as it is difficult to follow some of the deeper arguments if you take it in 20-minute commute segments. It is a great book, actually a collection of essays, but like any philosophy it takes some thinking to follow. Though I cannot say I subscribe to Ms. Rand's views on all things the clearness of her arguments are difficult to refute. Ms. Rand is pretty rough on both the right and the left and points out the hypocrisy in both positions. If you are not willing to examine your political beliefs then stay away as they will be challenged. Finally it should be noted that most of these essays were made in the late 60s and early 70s. Ms. Rand promotes that America is great because of its beliefs, but that it is vulnerable because it does not understand the premises behind those beliefs. I suspect she would look at America today as an opportunity for greatness lost. Definitely a great book! This is an excellent book. I just bought it in hard copy as well so that I can read it. Very deep and thought provoking in a way that is constructive. Too often, philosophy is about trying to put together disintegrated units which out of context make absolutely no sense and contradict themselves. This book is for people who want to apply philosophy to the real world, the world of our senses (which is all we really have in the end anyways), and to this life in an integrated fashion for the purpose of actually learning something useful. This is truly a timeless as well as a timely book. Really applicable for the changes that the world is going through today. A highly recommended listen. A rational individual needs intellectual ammo I believe that this is the 4th Ayn Rand book a person should read/hear. 1st is Atlas Shrugged, likely the most important book ever written. Next Capitalism-The Unknown Ideal and The Virtue of Selfish can be read in either order, but Ms Rand does reference the latter in the Capitalism. I believe that if enough people read all 4 this country could still reach its incredible potential. Excellent text, awfully sloppy narration It's clear from the numerous out-of-place pauses, badly pronounced words and expressions and in some cases words changed (!) that the narrator has not taken the time to read and understand the material first. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Social-Contract-Audiobook/B00U1QZ0EO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In The Social Contract, Rousseau explores the concept of freedom and the political structures that may enable people to acquire it. He argues that the sovereign power of a state lies not in any one ruler but in the will of the general population. Rousseau argues that the ideal state would be a direct democracy where executive decision making is carried out by citizens who meet in assembly, as they would in the ancient city-state of Athens. The thoughts contained in the work were instrumental to the advent of the American Revolution and became sacred to those leading the French Revolution.

Members Reviews: Five Stars came in handy The Best Human Nature Book Ever Written. There has never been a more readable book to explain man's relationship with his animal nature. It should be required reading in high school. But it was quietly banned by "educators" who refuse to accept the fact that humans have an animal nature. Two Stars It is missing the first chapter! Five Stars Excellent teaching aid A must read for every college educated person These books are pretty thin in volume, yet contain many profound ideas that propelled modern democracy to become the most common social order in the West. Although Rousseau famously states that a true democracy is possible only for nation of Gods and he would not characterize current democracies as such, it is worth of reading, given the clarity of his thoughts and few remarkable predictions - e.g. regarding Corsica and Russia. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/On-Liberty-Audiobook/B01M09HESD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Publications Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: On Liberty is a book by John Stuart Mill, one of the most celebrated philosophers on the subject of leadership and governing ideals. The book focuses on Mill's philosophy on utilitarianism which is one of his defining principles. The principles of the book are focused on developing a relationship between the ruling authority and liberty. The work was meant to be a short essay but it was expanded to cover all his principles about liberty and utilitarianism. The work begins like most of his philosophical works; by introducing the historical background about the struggle that has always existed between liberty and authority. Mill argues that in a way democracy encourages what he terms as "tyranny of the majority". He argues that the authority of the ruling class should be controlled by the liberty and the freedoms of the citizens. With these views he sets the tone for the whole book and goes into great details about the relationship between liberty and authority. Mill stated that this book was not his work alone because he collaborated with his wife Harriet Mill and this is evident especially when compared to his previous essays.

Title: The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche: The Complete Work Plus an Overview, Summary, Analysis, and Author Biography Author: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzche, Israel Bouseman Narrator: Philippe Duquenoy Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 03-06-15 Publisher: AudioLearn Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Friedrich Nietzsche is perhaps one of the most controversial philosophers in history. His name is perhaps most closely identified with the statement "God is dead". As a result of this inflammatory style, it is more common to have heard of Nietzsche than to have read his work. It has the feel of religious fervor more than that of a classical text on philosophy, and in this respect this work, The Antichrist, was aptly named. It is not so much aimed at the expression of any new perspective or in support of the expansion of knowledge but rather represents an effort to undo the religious interference Nietzsche believed worked against the advancement of culture and knowledge. In many ways he was the mouthpiece for the most unfavorable logical conclusions that rose to the fore in the meeting of the scientific and Christian perspective. Despite the disagreeable nature of his religious perspective, his views have undeniable power and influenced a host of other philosophers. His name has been synonymous with Nazism, nihilism, materialism, and anti-Semitism, and his ideas have been viewed by some with an almost fanatical regard. Perhaps the most ironic aspect of this posthumous reception is the fact that Nietzsche himself was categorically opposed to all of these perspectives. His poetic and radical style left him poorly understood by those who read him and served to foster many of the approaches he condemned. The full narration of this text is preceded by a summary that highlights the main points of his work, including a biography of the author , an overview of the subjects covered, and a synopsis and analysis of the work. Also included are an examination of the historical context, criticisms, and the social impact of Nietzsche's writings.

Members Reviews: I'm learning Nietzsche I don't need sparkly sounds The narrator was fine, but a peculiar sound repeats persistently between chapters. This is Nietzsche, know your audience. interesting but a false theory It was very interesting discussion about good and evil and strength and weakness, Nietzsche takes a rather barbaric view of strength and weakness by saying all weakness should be eliminated,, and that the Christians suppress strength. going back to the time in which this was written there was a lot of controversy concerning the Catholic church, which was at the time using it's power over the people to fuel the Pope's war. But simply because corruption abounded in the Catholic church, does not mean that Christ himself was wrong about charity and kindness. I simply wish I could have a discussion with Nietzsche face to face, as I wish of a great many people. thought provoking analysis loved it. as usual from Neitsche, some difficult questions are asked and answers addressed. not all I can say I agree with however it is a very welcome point of view that is unfortunately quite rare today in our over sensitive society. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Ethics-Audiobook/B005QDNOC2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In it, Spinoza follows a logical step-by-step format consisting of definitions, axioms, propositions, proofs, and corollaries to create a comprehensive inquiry into the truth about God, nature, and humans' place within the universe. From these broad metaphysical themes, Spinoza derives what he considered to be the highest principles of religion and society and lays out an ethical system in which reason is the supreme value.

If I were to have read it, I would have dwelled excessively on the axioms, definitions and propositions and would have missed the forest for the trees. Don't worry if you don't get the definition as he gives them. You'll be able to pick them up when he uses them latter on. Spinoza is an incredibly good writer. He will tell you what he's going to tell you, tell you and than tell you again. He'll say "in other words" or "take this example" or other such explanatory statements and amplify what he's been telling you while never being 'prolix' (a word he actually uses and I had to look it up. It means tediously long winded with words). I've often heard people make the expression that they "believe in the God of Spinoza". After having read this book, I seriously would doubt them. What they've done is focused on the Spinoza formulation "that God is Nature and Nature is God" and they like the way that sounds, but they don't really know how Spinoza gets there or what he means by it. This book is a vibrant defense of Scholasticism (Aristotelian thought) against Descartes' mind body duality. Spinoza creates a system with only one substance (God) but infinite attributes. Two of those attributes are thought and extension (body), but it's clear that God possess infinitely many more. God (or Substance) is the creator of the universe and possess thinking. The God/Nature Nature/God formulation would be pantheistic. But, Spinoza goes beyond that and very well could be 'panentheistic' (God transcends nature), but I can't say for sure based only on this book. Spinoza uses most of the metaphysics of Aristotle. He believes God is the efficient cause (the mover) of the universe, but he does not believe in Aristotle's final causes, teleology. He believes that God is necessary, and that the universe is determined because from the necessary existence and therefore essence of God everything must follow from cause and effect (i.e. that Free Will is an illusion. Aristotle in his Ethics believes that Free Will does exist, but mostly Spinoza and Aristotle seem to agree. The concept of 'essence' are essential items in each of their systems).

He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and evil; death is the end of both body and soul and should therefore not be feared; the gods neither reward nor punish humans; the universe is infinite and eternal; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms.

Members Reviews: Necessary Reading For All Scientists and Theologians If my research on the author of this book is correct, the author died on 10/9/00 at the ripe age of 103. His philosophical work must have been widely accepted because he was honored by the Library of Living Philosophers in Vol XX. He studied Anselm for a long time having written his thesis at Harvard in 1923 on the "Ontological Argument Invented by Anselm." The Argument was issued by Anselm at about 1070 AD. So, if one wants to judge Anselm's work on the "Ontological Proof for God's Existence," this book is a great one from a great philosopher. This popular and important 1965 book was printed again in 1991 Anselm shows that we cannot prove that God does not exist beause we cannot conceive of things that do not exist. So, when people say that God does not exist, they are entering a domain of thought that is uncertain. A more certain path lies with reasoning. For instance, with reasoning, Anselm concludes that God's existence is necessary and that ordinary existences apply only to things found in the universe. I believe that his line of reasoning goes this way: if the existence of things in the universe are ordinary, they either exist or do not exist. In modern science, these ordinary existences would be known as contingent existences. But, contingent has no meaning without its opposite, necessity. Thus, unless contingent eisistences coexist with a necesary existent, a one-sided universe is being conceived. Anselm's line of reasoning seems to move his thoughts into dialectical thinking, panentheism, and an eternal world consisting of God and Nature. The author shows why nine centuries of refutations produced many errors in comprehending Anselm's writing. For six centuries, Anselm's Proof was simply ignored. But, in the next three centuries, fifteen authors cite the Proof and ten of them accept his proof. So, this book is important to believers in God. Most of the Ontological Argument has been overlooked. Charles Hartshorne, demonstrates that most scholars ignored the superior argument of Anselm's Proslogium 3. Indeed, many philosophers and critics never even read the actual text, but only heard it second hand. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Philosophy-of-Friedrich-Nietzsche-Audiobook/B002V1O8TU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Interesting introduction to Mencken Mencken deserves credit for having written a book on Nietzsche at a time (1908) when almost nothing was available to English readers in translation. As an introduction to Nietzsche, however, this book is not very credible; it relies heavily on the distortions perpetuated by his sister, and does not really get into the works that more recent readers of Nietzsche treasure (The Genealogy of Morals, "The Uses and Abuses of History"). The person who's never read Mencken before (like me) will find the book valuable as a reflection of post-Victorian America, where Social Darwinism and outright racism abounded, both of which are to be found in Mencken's account. Charlton Griffin channels Mencken pretty well, embellishing the prose with oratorical and sarcastic flourishes that will definitely annoy some listeners and please others. All in all, there's not much Nietzsche to be found here, so I guess you have to take what you can get. strenuous Charlton Griffin's narration is an over-the-top, guttural manly man's interpretation of both Mencken's crass plain dealing and Nietzsche's booming iconoclasm. The voice seems suitable for cowboy poetry, or History Channel nostalgia. For a book of philosophy, the effect accentuates the cheap melodrama in both the author and the philosopher, like a Wagnerian opera performed by a high school marching band. I can live with it, but it's a little silly. As for the content: Mencken does not offer a nuanced reading of Nietzsche's ideas... maybe he's right, but he does have a remarkable ability of sucking the fun out of this philosopher. This book, Dionysus and philosophy by way of Baltimore, is of value to either Mencken or Nietzsche scholarship. It is not a fruitful introduction for the curious to either thinker. Fantastic book@ H. L. Mencken has succinctly summed up the philosophy of one of the greatest thinkers of this world. Totally missed the point Awful. He doesn't understand Nietzsche's philosophy at all. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-World-as-Will-and-Idea-Volume-3-Audiobook/B074VCQTXQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This edition was translated by Benjamin Jowett in 1871. Members Reviews: Atlantis has been found! While this book is actually part of a longer narrative (and apparently the rest of it was lost to history, more's the pity), the description that Critias tells Socrates about the island nation of Atlantis is fairly believable and well thought out. If Atlantis really existed (and forget all the tabloid junk about death rays, flying saucers, and so forth and read this instead), this would be their travel brochure. The description of the island nation reminded me of Thomas Moore's Utopia or Edwin Abbot's Flatland in that all three places seem like they actually could have existed. Two Stars I seriously thought it would be a little bit thicker. The booklet is short paged summary. Remarkable that Critias discusses creation and the great flood verified by other ancient documents Critias is a character in one of Plato's dialogues. Critias discusses the ancient state of Atlantis and the early Greek state. Remarkable that Critias discusses creation and the great flood verified by other ancient documents. The Greeks documented much of the history of 400 to 500 B.C. The author did a great job of translation! Interesting very interesting. the description of Atlantis is breathtaking. To think there may have been a city of that magnitude is crazy.

Title: Descartes' Bones Subtitle: A Skeletal History of the Conflict between Faith and Reason Author: Russell Shorto Narrator: Paul Hecht Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 11-06-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 221 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this book Shorto brilliantly shows how this argument first started with Descartes and how his ideas (and bones) have remained central to this theoretical struggle for over 350 years. On a brutal winter's day in 1650 in Stockholm, Frenchman Rene Descartes, the most influential and controversial thinker of his time, was buried after a cold and lonely deathfar from home. Sixteen years later, the pious French Ambassador Hugues de Terlon secretly unearthed Descartes' bones and transported them to France. Why would this devoutly Catholic official care so much about the remains of a philosopher who washounded from country after country on charges of atheism? Why would Descartes' bones take such a strange, serpentine path over the next 350 years - a path intersecting some of the grandest events imaginable: the birth of science, the rise of democracy, the mind-body problem, the conflict between faith and reason? The answer lies in Descartes' famous phrase: cogito ergo sum. "I think therefore I am." This quote from his work Discourse on the Method, destroyed 2,000 years of received wisdom by introducing an attitude of human skepticism towards ideas of medicine,nature, politics and society. The notion that one could look to provable facts, and not rely on the Church's teachings and tradition, was one of the most influential ideas in human history, ultimately creating the scientific method and overthrowing religion asprevailing truth. Descartes' Bones is a fascinating narrative - both macro and micro history in one - that twists and turns up to the present day. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Russell Shorto) Thu, 06 Nov 2008 05:48:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Descartes-Bones-Audiobook/B002UZN4DS thebookvoice.com 09:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Philosophy of Modernity This is an engaging account of history and science, but at heart it's a work of philosophy. Shorto calls Descartes the "father of modernity". He starts by asking the question what it means to be modern, and spends most of the book developing his answer. The title "father of modernity" is for pioneering the separation of science from religion--in establishing experience and observations as valid bases for making conclusions about reality, separate and apart from wisdom received from either the Bible or the Scholastics. Yet Descartes was very religious, and he tried to create a separate sphere for it in the mind/body dualism. Shorto characterizes much of Western history since Descartes as various attempts to find balance between the secular and spiritual worlds both individually and socially. Despite the West's more than 350 years' experience trying to find such a balance, we are still searching, and we still have extremists who believe no such balance is possible. Other cultures, particularly the Muslim world, have not had that experience--have not even begun the search. Shorto believes that the Muslim world's lack of such a search is at the root of much of the West's difficulty dealing with Islamic extremism. At the individual level, Shorto reaches the same conclusion as did Descartes: that the connection between the secular and spiritual--how mind and body relate--what makes each of us unique--what might even be called the soul--is the heart, also known as passion and emotions. Shorto does a good job posing questions and challenges and using Descartes' bones for historical illustrations. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Art-as-Experience-Audiobook/B00J7XM9Q4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a very difficult read, but worthwhile. Didactic but full of wisdom. This is a profound voice but it comes from another era. It's of wisdom but sounds like a junior high school Civics lecture at times. but to anyone who's willing to stick it out, it truly pays off. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Meditations-on-First-Philosophy-Audiobook/B002UZLIB8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Descartes' Meditations are probably one of the more important philosophical reads a student should work through. Though this book takes the listener through them (all six)...unless you're really into learning, or being exposed to this work...Paul Hecht just doesn't do it justice. headings aren't optional? descarte arguments are flawed and his replies to the objections unsatisfactory. none the less this work is important and the reading is good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Marcel-Conche-Entretiens-avec-Andre-Comte-Sponville-Jean-Philippe-Catonne-Yvon-Quiniou-Francois-Dastur-et-Gilbert-Kirscher-Audiobook/B00TU70FJK Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> Titre: Marcel Conche : Entretiens avec André Comte-Sponville, Jean-Philippe Catonne, Yvon Quiniou, François Dastur et Gilbert Kirscher Auteur: Marcel Conche Narrateur: Marcel Conche Format: Original Recording Durée: 6 hrs and 10 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 04-02-14 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: "Marcel Conche est né en 1922, à Altillac, en Corrèze, où il vit à nouveau.

Members Reviews: A short biography The best part of this book is the sketch of Nietzsche's life. Strathern does well here. He balances this with a glimpse (and it's only a glimpse) into his philosophy. As usual, such a brief taste of a philosopher can give a distorted view his work, but if Strathern's work is taken for what it is -- and invitation to look further -- it can be very usful. Ignore (or investigate further) some of Strathern's simplistic descriptions of some of Nietzsche's thought and you'll have fun with Whitfield's reading. Shallow and misleading This book is close to worthless. A great philosopher receives a high handed, patronizing treatment from an intellectual midget, the author, who reviews important concepts that he does not understand through the lens of politically correct cliches of our times. The inappropriately patronizing tone of the narrator, who is quite lost as to where to apply emphasis or ironical tone (so he does that randomly) is irritating. My advice is save your time and money. I should have taken the trouble to listen to an excerpt. Good Overview, but leaves a lot to be desired This was a good overview of Nietzsche's life, and very brief overview of his philosophy. It only speaks about the highlights, and left me thinking, wanting to know more. The narrarator's voice is not my favorite. Little dry But I suppose I should have expected that going in. Otherwise, informative. Looking forward to learning more of his actual work. This author does not like Nietzsche What would have made Nietzsche in 90 Minutes better? If the author appreciated the subject, then I assume the book would have been better. Has Nietzsche in 90 Minutes turned you off from other books in this genre? No. What didnt you like about Robert Whitfields performance? Performance cannot faulted - only the content. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? A few tidbits of history about the subject. Hard to know how true they were with the author's obvious dislike of Nietzsche. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Acastos-Audiobook/B00BBH01GY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A very thought provoking attack on Platonic philosophy Iris Murdoch is both a philosopher and novelist. Acastos is the name of a fictional character who together with his friends has two dialogues in two plays with the great Greek philosopher Socrates, who died in 399 BCE. Murdoch uses her plays both to explore two subjects but also to mock Socrates' pupil, the philosopher Plato, and his philosophy. The first play Art and Eros is about art. What constitutes art? Does it copy nature or present something new? Does it teach truth? What is good and what is bad art? Is art related to the mind or to feelings? What does art teach? Does good art make better citizens? Is all art bad and even dangerous and should be banned, as Plato claims, because art is just an illusion and an illusion is not the truth, and art makes people satisfied and even delighted with illusions when they should be seeking the truth even though it is difficult to deal with the truth? Does Murdoch's Socrates utterly destroy Plato's philosophy in this play by saying that Plato is overly idealistic and that good art can teach people us much about themselves and the rest of the world? These are some of the many questions that are in this play. Murdoch's second play Above the Gods is, as its subtitle states, A Dialogue about Religion. Is religion outdated, unscientific, full of superstition, a belief in and a reliance on magic? Is it at an outdated attempt to explain the world that is now primitive science? Does it stop thinking because it insists that people rely on traditions and faith? Is it useful for uneducated people because it helps control them? Is there a difference between morality and religion? Can morality exist without religion? Is Plato correct that a person should seek the find "truth," which is "above (passive reliance on) the gods"? Or, is Murdoch's Socrates correct when he criticizes Plato for being too idealistic and seeking complicated solutions when he should be using common sense, for the common people cannot understand and accept Plato's teaching? https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Irrationally-Yours-Audiobook/B00US5J1D4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Superb invitation to clear thinking Any additional comments? This is a superb overview of Greek philosophy. What makes this audiobook truly outstanding is the narrator, who is clear and easy to listen to, and also the wealth of selections from the Greek philosophers themselves. If you want to start thinking with more clarity and living with greater wisdom this is a great place to start! A very good listening A very enjoyable read. Excellent narration - I felt like i was in a classroom with the philosophers teaching. The part on aristotle was especially enjoyable. I was browsing some other readings by the Griffith brothers. I believe they'll be on my wish list. Well worth I am a recent student of Philosophy and have been looking for means of gaining more context of the subject. My classes tend to be very specific, which has its merit for sure, but without an overall sense of place, building a philosophical roadmap is difficult, if not impossible. This book and others like it have helped. The voice acting is great! I wish this team did all of Plato`s dialogues. Socrates' speeches from the Phaedo were a personal favorite. Though I habe relistened to most of this book, his trial is a chapter I have revisited over and over. The worst part about this book is that it ends. A reading of selected works rather than an intrude What disappointed you about Ancient Greek Philosophy? It consisted of a selection of reading, with minimal commentary. Probably a ratio of 15 minutes of reading to 1 minute of commentary. The discussion was primarily a list that here were things in historical order. What do you think your next listen will be? Probably a review of history. Which scene was your favorite? None What character would you cut from Ancient Greek Philosophy? N/A Any additional comments? Not a very good introduction. Better to listen to some of the other authors. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Freedom-Audiobook/B00L1KLWRI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Author: Adam Kokesh Narrator: Adam Kokesh Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 06-17-14 Publisher: Adam Vs. The Man Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 69 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The wisdom within these pages has the power to unlock our potential as a species and establish an enduring civilization based on peace, self-ownership, and nonviolence. You, as a free, beautiful, independent human being with inalienable rights, own yourself! You can do what you want with your own body and the product of your labor. All human interactions should be free of force and coercion, and we are free to exercise our rights, limited only by respect for the rights of others. Governments rely on force, and force is a poor substitute for persuasion. When you learned "don't hit," "don't steal," and "don't kill," it wasn't, "unless you work for the government." Governments frighten us into thinking we need them, but we are moving past the statist paradigm and rendering them obsolete. This book will empower you to be more happy, free, and prosperous, while putting you in a position to help shape our destiny. Members Reviews: Major eye opener. Will listen again and again. Thoroughly enjoyed this informational piece. Adam Kokesh did a fantastic job opening my eyes to the painful truth. Spread the word. Be free! No wonder this book is banned in prisons The prose is Clear and to the point. Something you will go back to again and again Recommend getting kindle version with audible add on Adam lives his ideas by not using force to enforce copyright protection. Only comment for improvement would be to slow down the speed of the reading. There are so many great points expressed in few words the reader needs more time to let them sink in. Having the synced kindle version is very helpful A book I am happy to have purchased in multiple formats even though the author did not use a violent government tool to ensure payment. Thank you Adam You have made a contribution to evolution of our civilization one of the best books ever the trueth will set you free. adam kokesh writes in logical and moral terms about life, love and the freedom we all need to imbrace, share and live. Excellent book, OK narration I LOVE what Adam has written. I agree with 100% of his book, and I plan to purchase copies to give away. However, Adam needs more dramatic pauses to give the proper effect to his enlightening words. I hope he decides to re-narrate his book sometime soon or ask someone with a more captivating voice/style to narrate it for him (e.g., Stefan Molyneux?). Overall, I still thoroughly enjoyed the content. He'd make Murray Rothbard proud. Excellent all three times I read it! If you could sum up Freedom! in three words, what would they be? Wake up people! What other book might you compare Freedom! to and why? I don't like to lump Freedom in with novels, but I would put Freedom up there with Atlas Shrugged and 1984 because they all call on us to see the preciousness of freedom and to look at how government will try to take over and control the lives of those it is supposed to serve. What does Adam Kokesh bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Adam wrote his book, not as an "arm chair quarterback" but, as a man who has faithfully fought to defend the rights of his country and as a man who was locked up by the government for exercising those rights he fought to defend. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Culture-Care-Audiobook/B06XDV7TG7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Function of Reason Author: Alfred North Whitehead Narrator: Ray Childs Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Agora, New Internet Technologies Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Nonfiction, 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 antiscientific. 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 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 a professor of philosophy at Harvard University beginning in 1924. Whitehead's cosmology is far from antiscientific, 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. © Agora Publications bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Alfred North Whitehead) Tue, 08 Mar 2016 13:03:38 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Function-of-Reason-Audiobook/B01CPOKEF4 thebookvoice.com 02:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

You're in the right place! Are you having frequent bouts of anxiety or depression? Do all modern therapeutic methods seem useless? Why not try stoicism? Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that has been hailed as a savior of humanity. It is a philosophy practiced by ancient Greeks and Romans over 2,000 years back and has not lost its appeal in the present century. Such is its power that it is applicable even in the present day. Human suffering comes in different forms, and the most dangerous is mental suffering. Stoicism has answers to most of our inner fears and anxieties. It can save us from self-destruction and guide us toward happiness unerringly. Greeks of ancient time suggested that the interpretations and beliefs we have influence our emotions. When we change the inaccurate self-destructive and irrational beliefs, we can be free of emotional sickness. The deep-seated beliefs in us are mostly carried on from our childhoods. Hence they have become habitual. To get away from the vicious grip of our wrong beliefs, we need a powerful force like stoicism. The general opinion on stoicism that you would have heard so far would not paint a pretty picture for you. And you may read this with disbelief. However, the truth is stoicism has such deep and insightful truths that you will be surprised at how effectively you can set your mind free and attain happiness in your life. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Jordan Jacobs) Mon, 01 Jun 2015 14:36:10 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Stoicism-A-Friendly-Beginners-Guide-to-the-Ancient-Philosophy-of-Stoicism-Audiobook/B00YHY982G thebookvoice.com 01:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great intro Concise and elegant introduction to a complex subject. This book will get you started both in the understanding and practice of stoicism great short book really enjoyed the book. Short but inclusive and gives a good overall view and description of stoicism. I'm stoiced!!! No thank you Yo dude killer book. Have to say really finished my thoughts on Machiavelli's the prince and the Toa De Ching.. Keep it up. . Attitude is gratitude Derivative and Poorly Performed Don't bother with this. It's a condensed and less thoughtful variation of some of the other works on stoicism. The content is repetitive and organized in a confusing way. The performance is particularly lacking in quality. It's generally read too quickly, and with odd vocal inflections. The reader's accent is distracting. Most egregiously, key terms and names are pronounced incorrectly. Sketchy Intro Covered stoicism piecemeal and a bit haphazardly around the edges, and a bit muddled - it never really nailed it. The narrator had a bizarre quasi-Georgia accent (think a cross between Jimmy Carter and a southern preacher on LSD), but he settle down a bit into it, and you could finally make out the words. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Aristotle-Audiobook/B00GO4BK4Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Jonathan Barnes exposed the main concepts of Aristotle's thought and his most importants works. Some interpretations of Aristotle's assertions are rebutted in favor of rival conceptions. The author himself gave his understandings about Aristotle's works. Reading this small book, one has a pretty decent view about aristotelian thought and can, if wanted, submerges in his philosophy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Stoicism-Audiobook/B075THM9Z6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Impressive. I would like to thank the author for this audible because he helped me to change my perspective on life. It gave me ways to overcome obstacles and problems that I could face in future. I will not forget what I have learned. Thanks. Thank you! It is interesting to hear this audible because it has many strategies and effective ways to live well. It taught me how to handle problems and resolve them. I am thankful. I enjoyed listening I do not think it will change my life. In what I heard, I tried to test what I learned that's why many things realized in my life. This Stoicism is a beautiful way of life. Good work I gave it 5 stars because I was enjoying listening. I learned how to be prepared for life's problems. Most of all I learned how it will be solved. I loved it. It has changed the way I lived. Not in bad ways but in good living. It taught me to be calm so I can handle the problems that will come to my life.

Es untersucht - quer zu unseren etablierten Weltbildern - die Frage, wie wir uns in unserem täglichen Leben tatsächlich verhalten und warum wir so sind, wie wir sind: Egoisten und Altruisten, selbstsüchtig und selbstlos, rivalisierend und kooperativ, nachtragend und verzeihend, kurzsichtig und verantwortungsbewusst. Je besser und unbestechlicher wir unsere wahre Natur erkennen, desto gezielter können wir unsere Gesellschaft verändern und verbessern.

Mitglieder Bewertungen: Tolle und konstruktive Denkansätze für ein neues miteinander. Danke Herr Precht Sachlich und trotz allem visionäre Ansichten zum neuen Denken und verantwortlichen Handeln innerhalb unserer Gesellschaft, möglich und inspirierend geschrieben. Od Five Stars Das Buch ist total klasse...the book is totally excellent Precht's Kunst kein Egoist zu sein. Das Buch ist sehr viel mehr als man unter dem Titel vermutet. Precht befasst sich mit den aktuelsten, den dringensten Problemen unserer heutigen Gesellschaft - von jeder Sichtweise her. Seine Kenntnis der Fachliteratur zur Bio-Psychologie, Hirnforschung, Oekonomie, Anthropologie und naturlich der Philosophie sind erstaunlich. Ich halte das Buch fuer eines, moeglicherweise das wichtigste Buch unserer Generation und kann es nur jedermann dringend empfehlen. Schlagen Sie irgendeine Seite auf und lesen Sie wenigstens 3 - 4 Seiten und sie werden es schwer finden es aus der Hand zu legen. Nicht nur Kritik an unseren heutigen Einstellungen und Politik, auch Ideen zu ihrer Gesundung und Wiederherstellung des eigentlichen Menschseins finden Sie hier. Und Humor hat er auch! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Timeo-Audiobook/B01FG3X8QS Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> Titolo: Timeo Autore: Platone Narratore: Silvia Cecchini Formato: Unabridged Durata: 3 hrs and 50 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 05-12-16 Editore: Collina d'oro Categoria: Nonfiction, Philosophy Riepilogo Editore: Il "Timeo", scritto intorno al 360 a.

Members Reviews: A good introduction to nihilist philosophy The position feels lacking in its defining of the proposed chief good, power. It is made clear that each method to power is different, so actions are neither good or bad innately, unless perhaps an action always leads to loss of power, but it is unclear what power is. However, albeit the absence of a definition for power, this short book covered a lot of ground and serves as a great introduction and reference point to deeper investigation on nihilist philosophy. This will get you thinking!! Deep and well argued! Short but concise. I'll listen to this a few more times. Narration is good but a little dry, but does the job. Straightforward narration by the author The author provides compelling rationale to why there can be no objective morality and that all morality is in fact a thinly veiled power structure. Old Hat Neo-Nihilism doesn't live up to its titular prefix (and barely lives up to the noun). Prepare yourself for a tediously syllogistic, adolescent journey into...a field of stock Nietzscheanisms. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Stoicism-A-Comprehensive-Beginners-Guide-to-Learn-and-Understand-the-Ancient-Greek-Philosophy-Audiobook/B078HMYC5W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It deals with the need for and the path to knowledge and information. Members Reviews: Impenetrable Shah has a habit of directing attention to the practical, perhaps analogical, value of psychological experiments. In this publication, in detailing an (unreferenced) experiment as to how people reacted to either a catâs purr or to the sound of human snoring, he makes the point that their reactions were determined (largely) by the information they were given. If told that the sound of a purr was a snore they disliked what they heard; that a snore was a purr â they liked it. One example, I suppose, of perfume and scorpion. What is striking about Shah is not only that he urges people to acquaint themselves with the findings of modern psychology â on cults, motivation etc. â but how he uses those findings (and other incidents and stories). He is clearly saying something beyond what those findings would indicate to the ordinary student (or teacher) of psychology. This is suggested by the title of the book itself. It is stated explicitly where, for example, he refers to âFinding Further Ranges In Jokesâ noting that those attuned only to moralism, jokes or dogma are ânot learners at allâ. So, a great book in terms of the psychology of those interested in this type of material, and yet, absent the means of unlocking it, somewhat impenetrable. That, of course, is a reason to read it. A Valuable Shock If you want comfort, coddling, or a warm fuzzy feeling- look elsewhere. However, if you want a frank, honest, and reflective account of the mistaken assumptions, misplaced motivations, and thought patterns that stand in the way of fulfilling our human potential, then this book is a welcome antidote. It is an invitation to honestly examine one's own motivations and expectations- with the aim of setting those aside - and positioning oneself to connect with a traditional form of knowledge that has guided humans throughout history. Consider a few quotes from the book: *"The need to monitor oneâs own reactions, and to see why one is behaving in a certain way â self-observation without neurotic self-abasement â may be taken as the next important feature." *"To help to provide people with the means to hold to the norms of their society while acquiring the understanding of a deeper truth, without either disturbing their own equilibrium or that of their society, is the aim of Sufi education." *Observing each otherâs reactions, too, can help a class to widen their perception of the tales. One such story â The Tale of the Sands â sometimes shows people their own dependency situation, quite dramatically. In this tale the river, aware of its existence, runs toward the sea, but arrives before that at a stretch of sand, and starts to run away into nothingness, to become at best a marsh. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Marcel-Duchamp-Audiobook/B00BFXDFQW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He has already given one party, the previous evening; this second party is for a select group of friends, and host and guests alike are feeling a little frail. They decide to forego heavy drinking, and concentrate on conversation. The subject of their conversation is Eros, the god of sexual love. Symposium was written around 384 BC, and many would regard it as Plato's finest dialogue, from an artistic point of view, and the most enjoyable to read or listen to. There are many reasons for this, including the keyhole glimpse it gives us of Athenian society; the role played in the dialogue by Socrates; the description of what has come to be known as Platonic love; and the characterization of the speakers.

When it is Socrates' turn to speak, he makes reference to a conversation he had with a woman. The audio production actually brings in a female narrator (who is just as effective as the main narrator) to take over this section. So you really get a "feel" for the ideas being conveyed as the Greeks at the time would have been considering them. Ad a side note, it is amazing how open this culture was to homosexuality. Judging from this classic of western philosophy it was the norm in 5th/6th century Athens. Greek Philosophy over a Good Wine This production does a great job on throwing some life into Greek Philosophy. You'll be able put personalities with recognizable greek names, and the discussion is definately easier to follow with the full cast. But this is still pretty heavy stuff. If you're hoping for Greek Philosophy ala "Xena: Warrior Princess ", you're in the wrong selection. You'll be listening in as these highbrow Athenias philosphers open a few bottles of wine and debate the pros and cons of Eros, the god of Love. (Remember that these intellectuals considered heterosexual love a cheap imitation of the more noble homosexual love - this is one of the few points they seem to agree on). The program revolves around philosophy, there's not any plot or action. But the dramatization helps you understand which opinions are coming from doctors, warriors, actors, etc. - thus making each perspective easier to follow. The fact that this debate took place because everyone had hangovers leaves you gaping at what regular debates had to be like back then! You'll Wish You Were There A delightful reading of what is probably Plato's most popular dialogue. Worth it just to hear Aristophanes' famous, witty description of spheroid, hermaphroditic humans before Zeus split us into two genders. Note that if you are a raging homophobe, you had better pass on this classic (and on much of Western Civilization). Worth the 2.5 hours Discovering the meaning of love? I call this a good investment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Nietzsche-A-Very-Short-Introduction-Audiobook/B00GHULCHM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not simple, but quite good This isn't Nietzsche for Dummies and it doesn't pretend to be. I'm relatively new to philosophy/social critiques and this book was little over my head. I was lost by the 3rd chapter. I went to a more basic book (Nietzsche in 90 Minutes) which helped me get the big picture and only after that was I able to appreciate the value in the "deeper" approach taken here. Good introduction This is a nice introduction to Nietzsche. The listener can get a good sense of Nietzsche from this. imposible What would have made Nietzsche: A Very Short Introduction better? the constant use of initials make it imposible to follow, at least for me.Ej: The Birth of Tragedy is BT and Untimely Meditations will be UM and Human, All Too Human is HATH and then a sentence can go like _ much further than BT but different to UM in HATH ..... and so on reading like this is already not confortable, and it may confuse you. But listen to this .... all titles :book, essays and works in general in initials ? very difficult What was most disappointing about Michael Tanners story? x Would you be willing to try another one of Christine Williamss performances? x What character would you cut from Nietzsche: A Very Short Introduction? x Any additional comments? x https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Political-Philosophy-A-Very-Short-Introduction-Audiobook/B00GMPUSUO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I was expecting a short introduction to political philosophy (based on the title). This is more like "Hey, did you ever wonder why we do this and how we could do it differently?" I wanted an introduction to the actual people who have addressed these issues in the past. There's a brief mention of Plato, a tiny intro to Hume, some very basic and broad Marx. There's an entire chapter on feminism that doesn't mention a single feminist. Just more "gee whiz" questions about "hey, what if women weren't treated as property?" No historical context or linking between schools of thought. This is just the author asking the questions of political philosophy himself and then answering them himself. The author spews the usual SJW nonsense The book started alright but the authors lunatic left wing postion becomes increasingly obvious and i gave up when he started spewing the usual feminist falehoods in chapter 5. I didnt expect the author to agree with everything i think. That wasnt the problem. Spouting known falsehoods as truth was what made it impossible for me to finish. Really good I bought similar books and was appalled. This, however, is beautifully even handed on all the views out there. I'd love to see a later edition to see what the author has to say regarding the new politics on multiculturalsm and the decline to the West.

My second book from Brianna and loving her writings even more. Would recommend to anyone looking for a anterior viewpoint. Great read. Concise delivery and powerful message I'd recommend this book to anyone struggling to find themselves, or struggling to love themselves.

Beautiful and thought-provoking Brianna's insights about spirituality and humanity will make you feel like you've been heard and understood, while also giving you so much more to think about. She's thought-provoking, brilliant, and honest. This book is a must-read for anyone who has wanted to understand who we are as humans.

With a philosophical eye and his signature combination of wit and wisdom, Alain de Botton leads us on a journey around a deliberately eclectic range of occupations, from rocket science to biscuit manufacture, accountancy to art - in search of what makes jobs either fulfilling or soul-destroying. Along the way, he tries to answer some of the most urgent questions we can ask about work: Why do we do it? What makes it pleasurable? What is its meaning? And why do we daily exhaust not only ourselves but also the planet? Characteristically lucid, clever, and inventive, de Botton's "song for occupations" is a celebration and exploration of an aspect of life that is all too often ignored and a book that shines a revealing light on the essential meaning of work in our lives.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: The private work life of a biscuit brand manager Now I know why I'm mostly bored by the celebrated personalities of film, music and art, much less TV culture, but am inexplicably fascinated by what's found in gargantuan container ships, the private work life of a biscuit brand manager, the origins of the pylons that stretch power lines across our urban and rural landscapes, and on down the list of obscure objects and professions that Alain de Botton contemplates in this essay collection. The reason I get bored -- and I imagine others -- is that celebrity culture sucks way more attention than it merits. As this writer-philosopher demonstrates, our civilization creates and transacts and consumes many splendid things that don't happen to make into a museum or get digitized for posterity, but they and the work required to bring them to life have consequences -- both corrupting our souls and giving life meaning. De Botton's style can be dense and his arguments spiral, but this book is studded with humorous accounts and consistently entertains. As a riposte to the preceding reviewer, I've also been listening to Audible audiobooks for 10 years and this is the first time that I remember giving five stars. Good, but not my favorite I love this author, but wasn't wild about this book. He presents some interesting perspectives but without some of the flare I have come to expect. Maybe it was the narrator (not his usual guy) while not bad, also nothing special. Worth the credits... just not awesome. Interesting, but sterile Botton is eloquent to the point of mastery, but fails to grip the audience by highlighting the human element of the 21st century workforce. Exploring the underrated corners of the global economy, we are treated to interesting anecdotes, but no central thesis. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Individualism-Audiobook/B00ZJCH66U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Is individualism the ability to act independently amidst a web of social forces? A vital element of personal liberty and a shield against conformity? Does it lead to or away from unifying individuals with communities? Individualism: A Reader provides a wealth of illuminating essays from the 17th to the early 20th centuries. In 26 selections from 25 writers, individualism is explained and defended, often from unusual perspectives. This anthology includes not only selections from well-known writers, but also many lesser-known pieces - recorded here for the first time - by philosophers, social theorists, and economists who have been overlooked in standard accounts of individualism. The depth and complexity of ideas about individualism are reflected in the six sections in this collection. The first examines individuality generally, with the following five detailing social, moral, political, religious, and economic individualism. Throughout, individualism is analyzed and defended through the lenses of classical liberalism, free market libertarianism, individual anarchism, voluntary socialism, religious individualism, abolitionism, free thought, and radical feminism. Both richly historical and sharply contemporary, Individualism: A Reader provides a multitude of perspectives and insights on personal liberty and the history of freedom. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Marilyn Moore - editor) Mon, 15 Jun 2015 03:00:36 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Individualism-Audiobook/B00ZJCH66U thebookvoice.com 06:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Historical Individualism This is a valuable historical Reader, in that it vividly shows the relatively short history of the concept of individualism -- the last few hundred years. To see entries by Wilhelm Humboldt and Roger Ingersoll (to name two of great interest to me) shows the use of this compilation. The editors do even "sneak" in a short item by St. Augustine to show one prominent example of an ancient reference to the conception, even if the concept itself wasn't discussed. I just wish the Reader had the greater ambition of including modern writers -- but the stated limitation of the editors was to only use public domain writings -- though they bring up Ayn Rand in passing in their introduction. A more complete Reader, with, for example, an essay by Rand, our era's strongest advocate of the morality of individualism, would be a welcome companion to allow direct comparison against these early attempts to identify and explain this fundamental idea of a person's relation to the world and to those around him in society. A Decent Collection Rather than going into great detail, let me give the general gist. This collection of public domain essays and outtakes covers arguments for individualism and its brothers libertarianism, voluntaryism, and other minimalist forms of government that support the rights of the individual to live peacefully while pursuing happiness in the world. The texts are ancient and modern (18th to 20th centuries), with authors from many walks of life. It well supports the fact that self-determination is not a recent idea, nor is it a thought based in greed or spite for our fellow men. Contrarily, it is the most moral code available in this world of imperfect people. The only weakness I would suggest exists is a lack of discussion of the pieces, aside from a bit of historical introduction. And that may be good or bad. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Heidegger-in-90-Minutes-Audiobook/B002V8KYZK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The New York Times) Members Reviews: Less isn't more Heidegger is difficult, no question, but this 90 min was more about the man than then philosophy. And even for obtuse philosophy, the presentation wasn't very good. Unsympathetic and Superficial treatment This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? The book was very, very weak. What was most disappointing about Paul Stratherns story? This book will not help you understand Heidegger's thought. What about Robert Whitfields performance did you like? The reader was fine. Any additional comments? If you want to understand Heidegger, you might start with Cooper's "Existentialism: a reconstruction" or Blattner's guide to Being and Time. This book was a waste of a credit. not a fair treatment The first half of this is pretty good, giving mostly biographical details as the other reviewer said. However, the second half becomes a very uncharitable, diatribe against Heidegger, simply trying to show links between Heidegger's philosophy and his involvement with the Nazi party. This is evidence of the bias and closed-mindedness which analytic philosophers approach Continental philosophy in its worst form. Ironic how bigoted the author comes across in accusing Heidegger of anti-Semitic bigotry. In 90 Minutes Series overview If you could sum up Heidegger in 90 Minutes in three words, what would they be? aka Cliff Notes Would you recommend Heidegger in 90 Minutes to your friends? Why or why not? Yes - I've listened to each book in the series about a major philosopher that is available on Audible. Strathern's books don't have the analytical depth found in Will Durant's "The Story of Philosophy" books, but he does a good job summarizing each philosopher's biography, major philosophical points, and criticisms. Additionally, Strathern's breadth is broader than Durant's in that he covers a greater number of philosophers. I believe that the time spent listening to these books has been well-spent. My reviews for each book in the series about a philosopher are identical. What about Robert Whitfields performance did you like? Voice is clear, well-modulated, and easily understood, even at 1 1/2 speed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Frantz-Fanon-Audiobook/B01LX46RMN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

With FranzFanon, Peter Hudis presents a penetrating critical biography of the activist's life and work. Countering the prevailing belief that Fanon's contributions to modern thought can be wholly defined by an advocacy of violence, Hudis presents his work instead as an integrated whole, showing that its nuances - and thus its importance - can only be appreciated in light of Fanon's efforts to fuse philosophical theory and actual practice. By taking seriously Fanon's philosophical and psychological contributions, as well as his political activism, Hudis presents a powerful and perceptive new view of the man and his achievement.

Members Reviews: Provocative and stimulating, albeit conservative This is the most engaging and provocative entry in the "Modern Scholar" series. Despite the huge differences that divide my view of politics from Baumann's (I consider myself much more left-leaning), I was challenged by his strong arguments, which are very difficult to refute. He is particularly harsh on Rousseau and Marx, and you can feel a conservative animus driving his critique of Rousseau in particular (his stunning advice about how to read Rousseau at the end of the last lecture about him is much worthier than the critiques that precede it). But it's an animus, not a bias; he's passionate about the material, and communicates his sense of the stakes with piquancy and concision. He gives all the thinkers under consideration their due, without using the occasion as a personal soapbox. He even has some memorable one-liners. And that's everything that one could ask for from a professor. N.B. You can probably tell from my review that the title of Baumann's course is misleading. This course isn't about the question of human perfectability, let alone about utopian literature. It's about some classic theorists' attempts to eliminate the contingency of politics and the (mostly disastrous) efforts that result. Excellent Coverage of an Ever-Relevant Topic Whether or not most people are consciously aware, the idea of perfectibility or lack thereof in human life is a moving force in most politics and philosophical study. It also affects most of us in our daily lives. These lectures are an excellent overview of the history of Utopian philosophies and societies, with the lecturer offering a good survey of the relevant materials, recommendations about further reading, and interesting discussion and conclusions. The lecturer is extremely conscientious about presenting his own opinions separately from the facts, and he is very careful to point out when his scholarly opinions are less widespread than other scholars' views. This is all as it should be. Based on the criticism of some reviews, I must conclude the reviewers may lack experience with the structure of actual college courses. Professor Baumann does a superb job presenting a broad overview of the material, which is extremely difficult to do in an introductory survey course. Naturally, he discusses many other relevant materials that the reader may choose to study-- but he does not assume the reader has done or will do so. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Juergen-Habermas-Audiobook/B077NL4BB5 Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> Titel: Jürgen Habermas Untertitel: Sein Leben - sein Denken Autor:: Detlef Horster Erzähler: Martin Falk Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 1 hr and 12 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 11-24-17 Herausgeber: SAGA Egmont Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Jürgen Habermas, der bekannteste Philosoph der deutschen Gegenwart, wird hier in einer knappen und verständlichen Einführung behandelt.

Members Reviews: Calvino manifesto This book is a collection of talks on writing Calvino was preparing as a series of documents specifying some important keys of literature that he felt needed to be recorded as crucial elements of literary tradition. Indeed, in his essay "Visibility," Calvino brings up his concern for the future of imagination and literature in a world so full of prefabricated imagery, where images are provided rather than solicited. While his initial impulse was to write six lectures, he evidently reported at one point of his process that he had ideas for eight, but in the end he only completed five. In her introduction, Esther Calvino clarifies that she decided to keep the title true to Italo's original intention and publish the series under the original title, despite the missing sixth. In the lectures themselves, Calvino provides the kind of insight and fascination with the making of literature that fuels so many of his best books. Rather than come across as a manifesto of his own brilliance, as the premise may sound, Calvino spends a lot of time in admiration of the work of other writers, from classics like Ovid and Dante to colleagues and contemporaries, like Francis Perec and Douglas R. Hofstadter. The lectures are of course sometimes punctuated with personal details about his own writing processes, but I found them very inviting and revealing about the ideas he was trying to point out. Each lecture dedicates itself to an aspect of literature that Calvino finds crucial: "Lightness," or the aspect of language that speaks directly to a reader and is not always weighed down with intellectual metaphor but with direct communication; "Quickness," or the immediacy of literature - the way it cuts through random detail to get to the necessary; "Exactitude," or the precision of language (and when it needs imprecision); "Visibility," or the power of imagery to convey ideas; and "Multiplicity," or the complexity of content. Calvino is a writer who has always presented a kind of fascinating enigma. His works is spectacularly visual, and while crucially uncategorizable in its sense of being not easy to nail down in the area of metaphor or theme (something that Calvino no doubt worked quite strenuously at, clear when he talks about a poem's meaning in "Exactitude" as being "not fixed, not definitive, not hardened into mineral immobility, but alive as an organism"), it is also quite accessible and always an enjoyable read. Calvino mastered the art of experimentalism that did not read as though one needed to be schooled in the traditions of literature to understand his intents. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Wisdom-of-Leo-Tolstoy-Audiobook/B00BGSIFL6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Wisdom of Leo Tolstoy Author: Leo Tolstoy Narrator: Mark Turetsky Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 02-28-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Leo Tolstoy was born to an aristocratic Russian family, became a world-famous influential novelist, and then chose to lead the simple life of a peasant.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: More than two centuries after its initial publication in 1781, Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason remains perhaps the most influential text in modern philosophy. Kant himself claimed his work as a revolutionary document and insisted that it changed the discipline of philosophy as thoroughly as Copernicus had changed astronomy 300 years earlier, when he said the Earth revolved around the sun and not the other way round. Kant argues that metaphysicians (philosophers who are primarily concerned with the fundamental causes and nature of things) could move away from their endless battles about whether human knowledge must conform to independently given objects. Instead he argues that progress in philosophy is possible only by agreeing that objects conform to forms of human cognition, or awareness. Much of the history of philosophy can be recounted in terms of how thinkers have reacted to Kant's work. His critique continues to provoke and inform a range of contemporary debates, both within and beyond philosophy. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Michael O'Sullivan) Mon, 06 Jun 2016 12:16:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Macat-Analysis-of-Immanuel-Kants-Critique-of-Pure-Reason-Audiobook/B01GKGGNAS thebookvoice.com 01:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good over view of Spinoza Gives a brief overview of Spinoza's up bringing and formative years and then delves into the philosophy he espoused in his writings. Poets loved him and religious leaders despised him. Atheist, pantheists, and deeply religious believers have all tried to claim him as their own. Though he speaks of God he seems to be talking more of the God of Einstein and Hawking. He Attacked scripture and made the argument that they were just morals to live by only and not divine. The book then covers his theories of modes of thought including Imagination, reason, and intuition. A significant amount of incite on Spinoza in such a small volume. Spinoza, a unknown phylosopher for most people If you could sum up Baruch Spinoza in three words, what would they be? Great and independant mind. Search for happiness in a world that has no purpose to serve us but to exist. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? The narrative is definetely good but slightly too fast to appreciate all the details of the text. Great intro to a great mind, and powerful philosophy Spinoza, the ethics, pantheism saved my life. After surgery, in and out of restless sleep I listened to the ethics and was so moved by many of his ideas, even through the pain. Even through the dry style of philosophical dissertation that he employs. This version would have been very welcome as an introduction at the time. Or much earlier in my life as a pantheist. You gotta give it a listen. And excellent introduction to an incredible philosopher! This is a job well done. Charles Helston voice really makes the narrative one of fascination and discovery.

His discourse on inequality is one of his earliest works, an examination of the state of nature of mankind and the way in which society fell short of both its ideals and its potential. Rousseau was the most influential French writer of his age. His works gave rise to the ideals espoused during the French Revolution, and in no small part contributed to the American Revolution as well. Rousseau and his philosophical contemporaries, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, were central to the dramatic re-envisioning of political theory that gave rise to the current era of democracy and republic. This work shows the developmental stages of his thought, shedding light on the struggle between individual will and the right of the privileged to rule. The narration of the full text is preceded by a summary, which includes a biography of the author, and an overview, synopsis, and analysis, as well as an examination of the historical context of the piece.

Members Reviews: Illustrates evolving standards of scholarship What about Derek Bottens performance did you like? The performance was generally excellent except for the pronunciation of the names of some famous thinkers. Any additional comments? Rousseau is a good story teller and was certainly a very influential one. But it is interesting how his methodology of developing an argument would be laughable if a contemporary scholar attempted it. Of course, thinkers are supposed to be judged by the standards of their time.... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Bondage-of-the-Will-Audiobook/B072N11XD8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Praise of Folly/Against War Author: Desiderius Erasmus Narrator: Georgina Sutton, Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-17 Publisher: Ukemi Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466-1536) was known as Prince of the Humanists - though a theologian, a Catholic priest and the leading European scholar of his time. A close friend of Sir Thomas More, Erasmus' writings had a strong influence on the growing movement for change in Christian Europe, both Lutheran and the Counter-Reformation. These two essays are among his most important - and well-known - writings. 'The Praise of Folly', written in Latin in 1509 and spoken by the goddess Folly (who champions a lively enjoyment of life), was a bold satire on (in the cautious contemporary environment) not only Western classical traditions but also the Catholic Church. Dedicated to More himself, Erasmus wittily challenged entrenched views in so forthright (and humanist) a style that it could have brought him in direct conflict with the papacy. Fortunately the pope, Leo X, enjoyed the humour and the challenge! It is here presented in the lively modern translation by Leonard H. Dean. 'Against War' (c. 1517) is 'an impassioned plea for peace among beings human, civilised, Christian'. A deeply humanist text, widely read through Europe in the ensuing years, it has a continuing currency. 'Nothing is either more wicked or more wretched, nothing doth worse become a man than war.' Leighton Pugh reads the classic translation by John Wilson. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Desiderius Erasmus) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 01:25:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Praise-of-Folly-Against-War-Audiobook/B01MZ78GQQ thebookvoice.com 06:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: You Shall Be as Gods Subtitle: A Radical Interpretation of the Old Testament and Its Tradition Author: Erich Fromm Narrator: Allan Robertson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 10-18-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Erich Fromm's innovative analysis of the Old Testament as a striking early example of radical humanism. The Old Testament is one of the most carefully studied books in the worlds history. It is also one of the most misunderstood.

Members Reviews: Fascinating new ideas Would you listen to You Shall Be as Gods again? Why? I actually did listen to the first few chapters a second time, before proceeding with the rest, to focus more on the details of what was said. What was one of the most memorable moments of You Shall Be as Gods? That the Bible/God are about eliminating idol worship. What does Allan Robertson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The presentation was impressive. It wasn't just reading, it included styles that led me to think this is how Fromm himself might have expressed his ideas. Any additional comments? Agree or disagree with his opinions about the Bible and religion, it's thought-provoking and scholarly in its insights. Prescient for our worlds' conflict against The evil so evidenced from the macro of Islamic terror reigning through horrific brutality of the innocent to the micro experienced in our daily dealing with more and more seemingly soulless human beings. And thus chipping away at ones inner core values of what shape us into beings for good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Deep-Thought-Audiobook/B011A0UG52 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Classic Fromm Published recently in a series of books based on various lectures (circa 1950's), this book is a wonderful challenge to the growing orthodoxy of psychiatric imperialism. Explaining why the scientific method is limited in ever fully understanding the human experience, Fromm appeals to his particular brand of humanistic/existential psychology as an alternative. While not as systematic or exhaustive of Fromm's other volumes (To Have or To Be? (Continuum Impacts);The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness;You Shall Be As Gods: A Radical Interpretation of the Old Testament and Its Tradition; etc), it is a succint presentation of his thought and from the perspective of our life and culture today, this lecture seems to have been an unheard prophetic voice. Content good; editing atrocious! I began reading Fromm in University. He was, for me, a cosmopolitan voice of reason, a social critic as well as a doctor of the mind. I have read most of his published work and looked forward to having The Pathology of Normalcy on my Kindle. But that is the problem...This Kindle edition leaves a great deal to be desired. There are numerous errors in standard usage (incorrect choice of prepositions, dangling clauses, failure of agreement between nouns and verbs (person and number) and numerous other equally annoying - and elementary - errors. I have the impression that I am reading a draft manuscript rather than the fully edited, rather elegantly expressed thought of a fine mind. I love my Kindle and I love being able to store entire collections on it but the quality of the writing MATTERS. And this edition is not up to it. I would even be prepared to edit it gratis just to do justice to the late Dr. Fromm's work. Time to stop selling inferior texts, Amazon. Mental disease and normativity in question, I aggree It is a very original text, but mostly a personal opinion of its author. I expect additional reinforcements in the future, towards the definitions of mental health and mental disease in order to understand that these concepts on a more solid basis, with deeper scientific and medical foundations. This will make you hate the world It's hard to describe Fromm's brilliance in a few sentences, so I won't try. 60 years later, his descriptions of the problems of our society are still accurate and piercing. Brilliant In an intelligent society, Fromm's name would probably come up several times a day in general conversation. Probably about 1000 years ahead of his time. We are advancing intellectually aren't we?

Title: Plato at the Googleplex Subtitle: Why Philosophy Won't Go Away Author: Rebecca Goldstein Narrator: Dennis Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 04-01-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Is philosophy obsolete? Are the ancient questions still relevant in the age of cosmology and neuroscience, not to mention crowd-sourcing and cable news? The acclaimed philosopher and novelist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein provides a dazzlingly original plunge into the drama of philosophy, revealing its hidden role in todays debates on religion, morality, politics, and science. At the origin of Western philosophy stands Plato, who got about as much wrong as one would expect from a thinker who lived 2,400 years ago. But Platos role in shaping philosophy was pivotal. On her way to considering the place of philosophy in our ongoing intellectual life, Goldstein tells a new story of its origin, re-envisioning the extraordinary culture that produced the man who produced philosophy. But it is primarily the fate of philosophy that concerns her. Is the discipline no more than a way of biding our time until the scientists arrive on the scene? Have they already arrived? Does philosophy itself ever make progress? And if it does, why is so ancient a figure as Plato of any continuing relevance? Plato at the Googleplex is Goldsteins startling investigation of these conundra. She interweaves her narrative with Platos own choice for bringing ideas to life - the dialogue.Imagine that Plato came to life in the twenty-first century and embarked on a multicity speaking tour. How would he handle the host of a cable news program who denies there can be morality without religion? How would he mediate a debate between a Freudian psychoanalyst and a tiger mom on how to raise the perfect child? How would he answer a neuroscientist who, about to scan Platos brain, argues that science has definitively answered the questions of free will and moral agency? What would Plato make of Google, and of the idea that knowledge can be crowd-sourced rather than reasoned out by experts? With a philosophers depth and a novelists imagination and wit, Goldstein probes the deepest issues confronting us by allowing us to eavesdrop on Plato as he takes on the modern world. Critic Reviews: "Dennis Holland has his work cut out for him as he must create a vocal identity for Plato and a host of other characters in this audiobook. He does well with creating a consistent fictional Plato, and, while not all his characters sound real, he does vocally guide listeners through the complex content."

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Was looking forward to it, can't bear it What disappointed you about Plato at the Googleplex? I really looked forward to this. And there are some good parts, leading to introspection and deeper thought. But in some unfortunate convergence of story and narration the result is quite annoying. The voices make me cringe. The characters in the dialogs are horrible. And the overall impression is kinda of well, just downright annoying. Preachy, trite, a bit silly. It is in the end, perhaps just too patronizing. Like the author and/or narrator is "talking down" to the listener. Would you be willing to try another book from Rebecca Goldstein? Why or why not? Probably not, but can't say for sure. Would you be willing to try another one of Dennis Hollands performances? Not so sure about that. I have developed a pretty bad association at this point with some of the voices in this book.

The "Apology", Plato's account of the speech given by Socrates at his trial in 399 BC, constitutes an essential defense of Socrates' life and philosophy.

This edition is the translation by Benjamin Jowett. Members Reviews: Reader kills it Good choice of extracts if you want to learn the basics of Plato. It's the Benjamin Jowett translation, which is a bit stodgy but fine, and features lengthy introductions. Unfortunately the reader kills the text. He's perfectly clear, but he recites everything in the same emotionless monotone. He doesn't give different voices to the characters in the Symposium, so it's hard to tell who's talking. He keeps giving words the wrong intonations, as if he's reading the text for the first time. He pronounces 'rhetoric' wrong (which is annoying because Plato says it a lot). It's very clear that the reader doesn't understand or care about what he's reading - indeed it sounds like he's not even listening to himself speak. I fought through the whole thing, but I won't be buying any more books by this reader. absorbing Would you listen to Symposium, the Apology, and the Allegory of the Cave again? Why? yes - especially the symposium. takes multiple listens. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? decription of Socrates as a soldier in the SYmposium What does Jonathan Cowley bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The even pacing foregrounds the ideas Excellent Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This audio book thouroughly enhances the scenes created for us by Plato! What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? The Symposium was definitely the best. It was quite compelling to hear the dialogue read. Which character as performed by Jonathan Cowley was your favorite? They were all read equally well. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me laugh when the discussion of drinking was being performed in the Symposium. Not a good reader The reader has a good voice but someone should correct his pronounciation. Words like agora and rhetoric he gets so wrong and he does not really know how to dramatise reported Or direct speech. Did he have any direction ?

Members Reviews: Excellent! very well done.. excellent narrative, subject matter as expected was fantastic! new to audible books and quickly becoming a fan.... Cayce in modern day applications Perfect book to explain Cayce teachings and readings in modern times. I've been fascinated with Cayce since a child and this book is great to apply him with changing times and news of today.. like climate change and such.

Title: Ethics in the Real World Subtitle: 82 Brief Essays on Things That Matter Author: Peter Singer Narrator: James Saunders Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 03-21-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 52 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Peter Singer is often described as the world's most influential philosopher. He is also one of its most controversial. The author of important books such as Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, Rethinking Life and Death, and The Life You Can Save, he helped launch the animal rights and effective altruism movements and contributed to the development of bioethics. Now, in Ethics in the Real World, Singer shows that he is also a master at dissecting important current events in a few hundred words. In this book of brief essays, he applies his controversial ways of thinking to issues like climate change, extreme poverty, animals, abortion, euthanasia, human genetic selection, sports doping, the sale of kidneys, the ethics of high-priced art, and ways of increasing happiness. Singer asks whether chimpanzees are people, smoking should be outlawed, or consensual sex between adult siblings should be decriminalized, and he reiterates his case against the idea that all human life is sacred, applying his arguments to some recent cases in the news. In addition, he explores, in an easily accessible form, some of the deepest philosophical questions, such as whether anything really matters and what is the value of the pale blue dot that is our planet. The collection also includes some more personal reflections, like Singer's thoughts on one of his favourite activities, surfing, and an unusual suggestion for starting a family conversation over a holiday feast. Provocative and original, these essays will challenge - and possibly change - your beliefs about a wide range of real-world ethical questions. Critic Reviews: "Peter Singer might well be the most important philosopher alive. He is certainly one of the most enjoyable to read, and it's a joy to browse through this collection of his smart short essays. This is public philosophy at its best - clear, controversial, and deeply rational." (Paul Bloom, author of Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil) "An accessible introduction to the work of a philosopher who would not regard being described as 'accessible' as an insult.... Despite their brevity, the essays do not shirk the big moral questions."

A definite recommendation for anyone interested in modern ethics. Exactly what the title says These essays are brief and to the point, very interesting but perhaps mot the most in-depth journeys into Singer's thoughts (he has other books for that though!). Basically perfectly bite-sized Ethics which is remarkably well suited for this audio-based format! This book challenges ones ethics! This book really challenges ones ethics. It made me think why am I doing the things I do when I have choice! As a lapsed vegetarian I am now back on track . Well narrated and stimulating topics. Highly recommended! Some interesting ideas. Needs more depth. Singer's talent for finding the ethical in everything shows through but his inherent utilitarian view grates at times. A nod to some other views would help but this is simply a collection of opinion columns. Makes you think An interesting series of essays. Well delivered exploring a diversity of topics. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/White-Girls-Audiobook/B00PQVT6Y4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sometimes a bit of a mess, but always entertaining And glittered with fabulous wit and insight throughout. A queer counterpoint to the greatest literature on race that gets to the heart of it all in a fashion more sublime, far more tangential, and perhaps more terrifyingly adroit than I've ever encountered before. Hilton Als Takes No Prisoners!!!! The exceptionally erudite author and social critic Hilton Al's spares nothing and no one in his excoriating investigation of American race relations in his provocatively titled book White Girls; White Girl as metaphor, White Girl as trophy, White Girl as Ally, & White Girl as reckless eyeballing death inducing fixation, are examined with aplomb and rigorous analysis-Under Hilton Al's queer and curious gaze. Mirron Willis's nuanced and appropriately at times intense vocal performance of the material make this a 5 Star Listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Reason-Faith-Philosophy-in-the-Middle-Ages-Audiobook/B00DHJ27RU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Reason & Faith: Philosophy in the Middle Ages Author: The Great Courses Narrator: Professor Thomas Williams Format: Original Recording Length: 12 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-13 Publisher: The Great Courses Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Today we tend to separate questions of logic from questions of belief, philosophy from religion, reason from faith. But for 1,000 years during a pivotal era of Western thought, reason and faith went hand-in-hand in the search for answers to the most profound issues investigated by Christianity's most committed scholars. In 24 ambitious lectures, Professor Williams examines the great Christian philosophers from Augustine to Ockham, following their efforts to illuminate the full scope of Christian doctrine using philosophical tools inherited, in large part, from the ancient Greeks. Far from being a "dark" age, this was an era when faith was not blind and reason was not godless, when the great philosophers and the great theologians were the very same people, and no one saw anything surprising about that. Building on the work of Plato and Aristotle, medieval philosophers worked diligently to show how the Christian faith is consistent with what can be demonstrated by reason, asking such questions as: Can God's existence and attributes be established by reason alone? Are there Christian doctrines that are beyond the scope of logical demonstration? How can Christian beliefs be defended and shown to be internally consistent? During this extraordinarily rich period of intellectual ferment, philosophers participated in a common struggle with transcendent questions, using reasoning in the service of faith. This course serves as a fascinating philosophical backdrop to illuminate the stimulating debates that occupied many of the greatest minds of the era.

Members Reviews: Professor Williams Blends Reason with History If you could sum up Reason & Faith: Philosophy in the Middle Ages in three words, what would they be? Organized, factual and informative. What was one of the most memorable moments of Reason & Faith: Philosophy in the Middle Ages? When Prof. Williams addressed the nature of Evil, he unleashed, in my mind, a new way of looking at things as they ought to be. By defining Evil as an absence of Goodness where Goodness ought to be, I thought of the light spectrum, where White is all colors and Black is no color at all. As different shades of light are removed from White it moves toward Black. Goodness works the same way demonstrating the continuity of the universe. Which scene was your favorite? Prof. Williams made a point that some philosophers participated in the quest for truth with a focus on the methods of reasoning rather than on the discovery of truth; it was more of a game than a search. Today there are many who employ philosophical reasoning in a quest to support a predetermined personal agenda much to the detriment of mankind's quest for truth. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? One point that bothers me still is the persecution of those who are truly in search of the truth. No single moment, unless it was chapters 5 and 6 with Boethius' Lady Philosophy dialogue about the fickleness of fortune, depicts the helplessness of the crusader in search of the truth. Any additional comments? The entire series of lectures puts the history of mankind's struggles with logical reasoning in perspective. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Logic-Philosophy-and-Psychoanalysis-Audiobook/B01MXLSZI8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Dramatically, since it is, in fact, drama. It is drama pretending to be philosophy, or maybe it's philosophy pretending to be drama. But, no, it's the former.

Title: Continentele insomniei Subtitle: Cioran si Dumnezeu Author: Gabriel Liiceanu Narrator: Gabriel Liiceanu Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 04-21-16 Publisher: Humanitas Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Gabriel Liiceanu: Sa acceptam ca exista gânditori în fata carora te poti "preda", ca gândurile lor, în loc sa fie "digerate pâna la a li se pierde urma", devin totodata, deîndata ce le expui si interpretezi, calea ta privilegiata de acces la lucruri. Nu exista nici o garantie ca numai drumul drept te poate duce la tinta. Exista si ocoluri convenabile. Asa cum exista si exegeze mincinoase. Citezi, sistematizezi, explici. Dar o faci pe fondul unui travesti mental: lasându-l pe celalalt sa vorbeasca, vorbesti si tu odata cu el. De ce n-am putea imagina opera unui predecesor ca pe un ustensil de gândire, ca pe o scula perfectionata care te transporta rapid în locul la care vrei sa ajungi?

Title: Beyond Good and Evil Author: Friedrich Nietzsche Narrator: David McCallion Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-15 Publisher: A.R.N. Publications Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 29 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Beyond Good and Evil gives profound insight into the personal philosophies of one of history's greats, Friedrich Nietzsche. Within the work, first published in 1886, you'll find close to 300 of Nietzsche's aphorisms, organized by theme and spanning nine chapters. Nietzsche begins his work by stating that all philosophies are nothing more than the complex personal opinions by the philosophers that put them forth, and that it's the listener's responsibility to weed out the subjective from the true philosophy. Some of Nietzsche's thoughts and theories provide the cornerstones of philosophical and sociological thought. One of the better known theories is the "will to power," the idea that all humans possess an inherent sense of ambition and the desire to strive for success. Throughout the rest of the work, Nietzsche speaks at length regarding dogmatism and religion, our system of moral codes, and the extent to which strength can be equated with cruelty, nationalism, and race. He also dives into his musings on what makes a human being noble. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Friedrich Nietzsche) Tue, 25 Aug 2015 15:48:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Beyond-Good-and-Evil-Audiobook/B014EKJP2A thebookvoice.com 07:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: What a difference, the reader makes While I can really get into the story and appreciate its historical value. the reader made this a horrible experience for me he became monotone and had almost no inflection in his voice, and when he did it was in the wrong place. while listening I found myself mentally correcting the readers inflection and found it very hard to focus on the words. excellent book but maybe need a different version terrible narration. absolute worst The narrator needs to be killed. Truly terrible delivery, I want my money back. He sucsessfully ruined a great work of philosophy here. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Power-Die-48-Gesetze-der-Macht-Audiobook/B00T9S9EIS Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> Titel: Power: Die 48 Gesetze der Macht Autor:: Robert Greene Erzähler: Emmanuel Zimmermann Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 5 hrs and 44 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-03-13 Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Robert Greene hat eine ungewöhnliche, provozierende Enzyklopädie verfaßt und alle Spielregeln der Macht zusammengestellt, die immer und überall gelten. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Robert Greene) Mon, 03 Jun 2013 13:53:34 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Power-Die-48-Gesetze-der-Macht-Audiobook/B00T9S9EIS thebookvoice.com 05:44:00 no Hören Sie diesen Titel kostenlos bei thebookvoice.com Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> Titel: Power: Die 48 Gesetze der Macht Autor:: Robert Greene Erzähler: Emmanuel Zimmermann Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 5 hrs and 44 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-03-13 Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Robert Greene hat eine ungewöhnliche, provozierende Enzyklopädie verfaßt und alle Spielregeln der Macht zusammengestellt, die immer und überall gelten.

Mitglieder Bewertungen: Laws of Power Warning: Those that are too easily influenced probally shouldn't read this book. While very interesting and enjoyable, this book has amoral principles. But you shouldn't view this book as the bible and follow it in such a way. If you can read it with your "own" mind, whether you agree with its principles or not, i believe almost everyone will find that a lot of what is written has truth to it. Its only when you start to take every Law seriously and fail to understand that everything is situational that you start to misinterpret the book. If you take the time to independently study indivuals that have achieved notable success in their lives, especially politicians, you will then see that sometimes it takes a little more than good work ethic and integrity to excel. Really Good Read I thought the book was absolutely relevant to today even though the examples in most of the 48 laws were from historical occurances throughout history. Robert Greene blends many different learning methods, including fables, poetry, as well as regular prose to convey general life lessons that many of us learn the hard way. Some laws of power may be deemed unethical, while other simple, but the point is each and every one is true and relevant to accumulating power. By using this book you can protect yourself from extremely ambitious people, while executing your own ambitions as well. Great read to understanding the human psyche and its quest to be ambitious. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Marx-Philosophy-in-an-Hour-Audiobook/B00DUDNMRC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Marx: Philosophy in an Hour Author: Paul Strathern Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-13 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Karl Marx in just one hour. Karl Marx's philosophical critique of capitalism and his solution of communism directly led to the formation of the communist state in the Soviet Union. Whilst this great venture has now all but completely failed, Marxs philosophy has proved to be arguably the most influential of the 20th century; the influence of Marxism can be seen in subjects as diverse as the infamous policies of Joseph Stalin to many of the progressive humanitarian reforms of the 20th century. The audiobook is an expert account of Marxs life and philosophical ideas - entertainingly written and above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Marxs work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Marx in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy. Critic Reviews: Well-written, clear and informed, they have a breezy wit about them . . .I find them hard to stop reading. (New York Times) Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise (Wall Street Journal) Each of these little books is witty and dramatic and creates a sense of time, place, and character . . .

(New York Times) Members Reviews: Marx in an hour Showed a poor understanding of Marxism . I felt it was biased and written from a pro capitalist viewpoint. a somewhat dismissive and shallow read. Biased and unbalanced I was hoping for a balanced view of the ideas of Marx but this audiobook has an air of sneer and mockery of his ideas. I was disappointed in this. Many nations have declared themselves Marxist but I didn't want to hear about failed translation of his theories. I wanted to hear about Marx. Doesnt skim the surface What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? If you want to learn anything about Marx, don't start here. Propaganda piece of the worst kind. Go straight to his writings. I enjoyed listening to it more than once It gave good background, as well as the ideas. it was particularly good to listen to in Audio book form. It was notably objective. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Tales-of-the-Dervishes-Audiobook/B077TF2P3Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Images of the Real and the Unreal - plus Notes The Preface tells you of the use of stories by Sufis and the general public. There are tales with great titles like The Cure Of Human Blood, The Man Whose Time Was Wrong, Wisdom For Sale. There are famous stories, such as The Blind Ones and the Matter of the Elephant, The Ancient Coffer of Nuri Bey, Strike on this Spot and The Kingâs Son. It all comes down the electronic pipeline (plus tax) to browse, to read, or just to have a copy. Images of the real and the unreal (plus Notes). Very entertaining. Stories with great insight. Stories with great insight into human behavior. Shah spent 30 years traveling the East to collect oral "Teaching Stories" that transmitted both common sense and wisdom.

Ce dernier volume de la Contre-Histoire de la philosophie vient clore la titanesque épopée de la pensée occidentale, que nous avons suivie avec Michel Onfray pendant treize années. Grâce à Robert Misrahi et Mikel Dufrenne, la pensée de la fin du XXème siècle dépasse le nihilisme et vient replacer le bonheur au centre de la quête philosophique. Puis, à travers la pensée perçante de Pierre Hadot, nous remontons jusqu'aux sources antiques pour une vision de Socrate, le philosophe devenu sage. Michel Onfray achève ainsi une boucle de 25 siècles d'histoire philosophique, invitation ouverte à "penser sa vie, et vivre sa pensée".

Grâce à Robert Misrahi et Mikel Dufrenne, la pensée de la fin du XXème siècle dépasse le nihilisme et vient replacer le bonheur au centre de la quête philosophique.

Lowerdivision undergraduates through researchers/faculty." (Choice) Members Reviews: Great Audio Tome Desublated by Publishers First, any review of a 35-hour audio tome of essays on Hegel will be tempered by misgivings about the mental state of anyone who would actually purchase such a thing. An obscurantist dialectician with way too much time on his hands? Who can trust such a reviewer? What can I say? The title doesn't lie. You know what you are getting. You either are a Hegelian or you are not a Hegelian--unless, of course, you are a Hegelian, in which case you are both. As a matter of fact, I was delighted to find that these essays are relatively clear, quite diverse, and nicely comprehensive. The editor Stephen Houlgate is one of the best and most lucid of contemporary Hegel scholars. The works, so far, are clearer than one might expect, (though I have only started, and have a long ways to go before I approach the Judith Butler essay at the very end, where editor-defying syntactical horrors undoubtedly await). The reading is clear, well-paced, and manly, seemingly sturdy enough for the 35-hour march. Though to differentiate the Hegel quotes the reader does toss in a German accent that to my ear sounds a bit odd. Of course, there are no recordings of Hegel himself, so perhaps he really did sound like Gandhi attempting Yiddish. (Though if he had, I suspect Schelling would have noted that for posterity.) And then there are the publishers! It it is really very admirable that they would actually produce such an audiobook for the three individuals in the world who might be enticed to purchase it. A noble work. But...! But why no chapter titles and a mismatch between the book chapters and the audio chapters, which renumber with each audio "part." So you have 35 essays and no way to find them by title or even by counting. Why do so many publishers do this? I mean, here we are with Google glasses and 3D printers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Ayn-Rand-Answers-Audiobook/B002V015WE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Trying to be a novelist Not enough Aristotle. Too much waisted space on uselessness. I tend to think the writer has a higher opoinion if himself than his subject matter. In 90 Minutes Series overview If you could sum up Aristotle in 90 Minutes in three words, what would they be? aka Cliff Notes Would you recommend Aristotle in 90 Minutes to your friends? Why or why not? Yes - I've listened to each book in the series about a major philosopher that is available on Audible. Strathern's books don't have the analytical depth found in Will Durant's "The Story of Philosophy" books, but he does a good job summarizing each philosopher's biography, major philosophical points, and criticisms. Additionally, Strathern's breadth is broader than Durant's in that he covers a greater number of philosophers. I believe that the time spent listening to these books has been well-spent. My reviews for each book in the series about a philosopher are identical. What about Robert Whitfields performance did you like? Voice is clear, well-modulated, and easily understood, even at 1 1/2 speed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Draw-Your-Weapons-Audiobook/B0735JC2KQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Draw Your Weapons Author: Sarah Sentilles Narrator: Sarah Sentilles Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A single book might not change the world. But this utterly original meditation on art and war might transform the way you see the world - and that makes all the difference. "How to live in the face of so much suffering? What difference can one person make in this beautiful, imperfect, and imperiled world?" Through a dazzling combination of memoir, history, reporting, visual culture, literature, and theology, Sarah Sentilles offers an impassioned defense of life lived by peace and principle. It is a literary collage with an urgent hope at its core: that art might offer tools for remaking the world. In Draw Your Weapons, Sentilles tells the true stories of Howard, a conscientious objector during World War II, and Miles, a former prison guard at Abu Ghraib, and in the process she challenges conventional thinking about how war is waged, witnessed, and resisted. The pacifist and the soldier both create art in response to war: Howard builds a violin; Miles paints portraits of detainees. With echoes of Susan Sontag and Maggie Nelson, Sentilles investigates images of violence from the era of slavery to the drone age. In doing so, she wrestles with some of our most profound questions: What does it take to inspire compassion? What impact can one person have? How should we respond to violence when it feels like it can't be stopped? Draw Your Weapons stirs and confronts, disturbs and illuminates. Critic Reviews: "With a stunning weave of ideas and images, Sarah Sentilles shows us the world we've broken, and she shows us how soldiers, prisoners, artists, thinkers - all of us - are, piece by piece, repairing it. Fearless, stirring, rhythmic, this book pulses with energy and is full of insights, dark yet ultimately hopeful." (Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City) "Now more than ever, the world needs a book like Draw Your Weapons. With mastery, urgency, and great courage, Sarah Sentilles investigates the histories of art, violence, war, and human survival. In her haunting and absorbing narrative, the act of storytelling itself becomes a matter of life and death." (Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being) "Draw Your Weapons is as much about peace as it is about war; it is as much about life as it is about death. Sarah Sentilles, with her passionate, clear-eyed prose and her brilliant, generous mind, confronts us with the realities of standing idly by in a world that urgently needs voices of peace and reconciliation. She puts real faces on the stories we hear all the time in the news and forget about. The stories in this book - about violence and love and endurance and vulnerability - are unforgettable, and they are very much the stories of our time. You will be riveted, educated, implicated, and changed by this book."

Ms. Sentilles thoughtful consideration of war and it's destructive place in our world and conflict resolution & peace in antithesis is remarkable. Her spaces(physical) left between her stories give one time for reflective thought and silence. Am working my way through for the second time. If you have a chance to hear Ms. Sentilles read from her book, do so. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Epistemology-Bolinda-Beginner-Guides-Audiobook/B00815GY1U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Featuring a charismatic and clear narration from Richard Aspel, this audiobook provides easy-to-understand examples that encourage the audience to think creatively and critically about epistemology, while leaving room for listeners to make their own decisions about the field. Ranging from skepticism to Kant's transcendentalism, this guide is at once thorough and accessible. Members Reviews: Going to hear it again Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, is an excellent introduction to the subject of epistemology. What was one of the most memorable moments of Epistemology: Bolinda Beginner Guides? The belief on the external world remains so, a belief. Cannot be proven, has simply to be accepted. Also the exposition about defeaters. Which scene was your favorite? The exposition of Rationalism. Analytic and synthetic knowledge. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Do we really know anything? Any additional comments? It is a begginer guide, but pay close attention to it. As much as the narration is clear and concise is not an easy subject. I am surprised the book has so few reviews and ratings, so I felt obliged to do mine. I am hearing it again, it is a good and beneficial guide. Good intro... but showed me its irrelevence I got this audiobook because I'm teaching a small set of classes about the philosophies of science... and while that subject has its own issues with whether diving in too deep has any real value to the world... epistemology has even deeper issues with relevance to reality. But the author and reader did a very good job of taking a subject that is very divorced from usefullness, and made it understandable. Well structured, very broad, sometimes confusing Bolinda does a fantastic job of parsing large difficult topics like this one. They did a great job here as well. However, in some of the more complex chapters (such as those dealing with Gettier, or the linguistic problems of truth) I think it would have been better to have the text in front of me. The more layered and "meta" the explanation gets, the harder it is to signify where you are in the "stack" by mere pauses and emphases alone. Don't know where this is taking me What would have made Epistemology: Bolinda Beginner Guides better? This book starts from considering how we know things and moves on from there. I am interesting in learning from an educational perspective and this is definitely more of a general book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Modern-Scholar-First-Principles-Natural-Law-The-Foundations-of-Political-Philosophy-Part-II-Audiobook/B009ATYMAQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Awesome depth of Information on Moral Philosophy If you could sum up The Modern Scholar: First Principles & Natural Law: The Foundations of Political Philosophy, Part II in three words, what would they be? Engaging, Understandable, Scholarly What was one of the most memorable moments of The Modern Scholar: First Principles & Natural Law: The Foundations of Political Philosophy, Part II? The concept of functioning from the perspective of the spirit of truth for the common good and communicating on the level where one is understood rather than truth as something abstract. One must communicate what the other person can understand rather than to just devulge information. It is the principle that is the focus and not how one feels about something. One must reach a place of objectivity rather than functioning on a very personal and subjective level to be contributing to the good of society and actually to one's own good. Which character as performed by the narrator was your favorite? This was not a history or a story narrative but a philsophical explanation of moral law and the matter of the principles of natural law. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Coming to grips with the truth objectively. Any additional comments? This was the most interesting and logical approach to the matter of ethics and morals I have ever heard. I absolutely loved it. It helped me to really uderstand the matter of communicating on the level of what others understand rather than being idealistic. I listened to it several times. Key to understanding the American Republic This author is an expert in his field. And he is able to explain the moral premises of the American Republic with clarity, simplicity, and humor. With fair warning, once you listen, you may never think of self government and the US Constitution the same way again! Hadley Arkes is an excellent instructor! Clear, concise explanations about the basic principles of political philosophy. Listen to the first part of this series first as it builds on previously learned material. Excellent buy. Very enlightening. "Morals" from an extreme reactionary His previous course was reasonably good. Only one out of eight lectures was political - he claimed that affirmative action was fully equivalent to segregation. This course is different. Fully one quarter of the course is spent on propagandizing the professor's radical position on abortion. Another quarter is spent attacking the idea that there is right to privacy, and defending laws banning contraception. 1/8 is spent defending the Vietnam War and claiming that South Vietnam was a democracy (an absurdity). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Wisdom-of-Albert-Schweitzer-Audiobook/B00BHPKMIC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This quote is perhaps one of the most widely known phrases delivered by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, a man known as the father of anarchy. In The Philosophy of Misery, he examines the nature of economy and gives his thoughts about the subversive influence of capitalism. Before the rise of corporate giants, Proudhon recognized the potential for the state and the economy to enslave humanity to profit and accumulation. He recognized the dangers of consumerism more than a century before it became evident as the dominant global paradigm. Running against the grain of politics and every conceivable form of authority, he stood for the right of a person to choose his or her own fate and governance. The Philosophy of Misery is a text that boldly confronts the dogma of capitalism and offers an alternative. Proudhon sought to provide a solution to the problems of economy and society that came from reason and respected the inherent liberty of humanity. A summary precedes the narration of the full text, giving a biography of the author and background information on the work. Also included are an overview, a synopsis, and an analysis. The summary is concluded with an examination of the historical context, criticisms, and social impact of Proudhon's work. Proudhon's thoughts form the bridge that links philosophy and economy. An understanding of his work is essential for lovers of philosophy who wish to move their knowledge from theory to practicality. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Israel Bouseman) Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:00:44 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Philosophy-of-Misery-The-Complete-Work-Plus-an-Overview-Summary-Analysis-and-Author-Biography-Audiobook/B00S7ULOC8 thebookvoice.com 16:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great, read this if you want to change the world have have your world changed. Interesting book, poorly read What disappointed you about The Philosophy of Misery: The Complete Work Plus an Overview, Summary, Analysis and Author Biography? The book is very interesting but the narration is poor. What didnt you like about Carrie Steeles performance? There are words incorrectly pronounced throughout the book and the narrator regularly stumbles over the words or begins to say a word, stops and then starts again. This makes it quite difficult to listen to and is very annoying. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Despre-seductie-Audiobook/B01ELWKUTS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fortune favors the Bold "It is desirable to be considered liberal; it is sensible to seem merciful and not cruel; it is essential in general to appear meritorious." - Machiavelli, The Prince Quentin Skinner's Very Short Introduction (VSI #31) to Machiavelli is my third selection of Oxford's Very Short Introduction series. No longer choosing at random, I bought this one because it was early in the series (I'm developing a methodology now on selecting which VSIs to buy/read). My considerations for new VSIs are basically this: Earlier over later; cheaper over expensive; broader over narrower. I think I'll probably take a bit of a break from them for a couple weeks at least, but one benefit of these micro-histories/biographies, etc., is they have allowed me to catch-up on my reading goal pretty quickly. So, Machiavelli? The book was a great survey of his life and works. Usually when thinking of Machiavelli, I (like everyone else) localize on The Prince. This book is a great intro to understanding the FULL Machiavelli. So, the book spends time exploring his other major works (The Art of War, The Discourses, History of Florence and of the Affairs of Italy and his fascination with Virtù and Fortuna. Anyway, I enjoyed the book. Skinner seemed to grasp exactly what the VSIs are meant to do (summarize, entice, introduce). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/On-Dialogue-Audiobook/B075LVW6M3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Ten Philosophical Mistakes Subtitle: Basic Errors in Modern Thought - How They Came About, Their Consequences, and How to Avoid Them Author: Mortimer J. Adler Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this delightfully lucid and accessible audiobook, Americas foremost philosopher, Mortimer J. Adler, explores 10 errors in the development of modern thought and examines the serious consequences they have in our everyday lives. Some of these mistakes include: (1) The mistake of identifying happiness with a good time rather than with that which is good for us; (2) The failure to differentiate between the perceptual and the conceptual realms of thought, by which the human mind is distinguished from the animal mind; and (3) The failure to acknowledge free will, which leads to the rejection of moral responsibility. Adler feels it is not too late to reverse the tide of escalating misconceptions and learn to live richer and happier lives. It is only unfortunate that in modern times, he says, "Much has been lost that might have been avoided if ancient truths had been preserved." Critic Reviews: "Adlers expositions are clear, well-organized, written in a simple style, and studded with examples to help the uninitiated grasp difficult distinctions - all that one would expect from a gifted teacher." ( San Francisco Chronicle) "Adler has the knack of steering readers through deep intellectual waters and making it easy to stay afloat."

Title: Ten Philosophical Mistakes Subtitle: Basic Errors in Modern Thought - How They Came About, Their Consequences, and How to Avoid Them Author: Mortimer J. Adler Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this delightfully lucid and accessible audiobook, Americas foremost philosopher, Mortimer J. Adler, explores 10 errors in the development of modern thought and examines the serious consequences they have in our everyday lives. Some of these mistakes include: (1) The mistake of identifying happiness with a good time rather than with that which is good for us; (2) The failure to differentiate between the perceptual and the conceptual realms of thought, by which the human mind is distinguished from the animal mind; and (3) The failure to acknowledge free will, which leads to the rejection of moral responsibility. Adler feels it is not too late to reverse the tide of escalating misconceptions and learn to live richer and happier lives. It is only unfortunate that in modern times, he says, "Much has been lost that might have been avoided if ancient truths had been preserved." Critic Reviews: "Adlers expositions are clear, well-organized, written in a simple style, and studded with examples to help the uninitiated grasp difficult distinctions - all that one would expect from a gifted teacher." ( San Francisco Chronicle) "Adler has the knack of steering readers through deep intellectual waters and making it easy to stay afloat."

( Library Journal) Members Reviews: Defense of Adler's "Ten Philosophical Mistakes." I feel it necessary to defend Adler's work from some of the unjustified criticism it's receiving in the reviews posted prior to my own. But first, I shall post my personal review. My personal review is thus: I would've given "Overall" 4 stars for the book version, which I also own, but the performance of the audio version is so good that it brought out new aspects of the book for me, hence the 5 stars in "Overall." I am giving it 4 stars in story because Adler does give a justified defense of his position, but I think his position in this book could've been more detailed without disrupting the flow of his steady explanation. There are several reasons why this is an excellent book that succeeds at its primary premise. A reviewer above me mentioned that truth is propositional, not absolute. Nowhere in this book does Adler claim to have found "absolute" truth. In fact, the book consists of a series of propositions about what Adler has referred to in his other works as "common sense," particularly, those ideas and beliefs which are common to all people, even across racial and national boundaries. If Adler were proposing to write under the presuppositions of modernism, then he would be obligated to note that he's merely making propositional claims. But the whole point of the book, stated clearly in the introduction, is to refute just so many errors of modernism. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Becoming-Whole-Audiobook/B00BF189Y2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Becoming Whole Subtitle: Jung's Equation for Realizing God Author: Leslie Stein Narrator: Cris Dukehart Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs Language: English Release date: 02-23-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 29 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A thrilling exploration of how Carl Jung found the equation for realizing the divine through personal consciousness. In 1951, Carl Jung published what he considered the highest synthesis and exposition of the transformation of Self and the discovery of the divine in one of his latest and most difficult works, Aion. The equations complexity and uncharacteristic elements of mysticism have caused it to fall by the wayside in traditional Jungian and psychological analysis. No major work has tackled this fascinating concept until now. Leslie Stein, a disciple of noted Jungian analyst Rix Weaver, here explores this groundbreaking equation to its fullest capacity. Tracing the roots of Jungs research back to his influences in the world of the Kabbalah and Sufi mysticism, and grounding the more esoteric philosophy toward the modern sense of identity, Stein has produced both a rigorous work of scholarship on a major figure and a guide that challenges listeners to reflect on our own truths. Editorial Reviews: In all major cultures and traditions the personal experience of becoming whole is thought to be a spiritual one. Starting with this knowledge, Carl Jung - one of the world's most famous psychologists - sought to understand how this came to be part of the human experience and what causes it. Eventually he created his equation for the realization of God, which has often been forgotten about. The author of Becoming Whole, Leslie Stein, - a psychologist herself - wanted to more closely examine Jung's equation, and has in this audiobook. Performer Cris Dukehart narrates, and his pleasant voice is exactly suited for this academic work. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Leslie Stein) Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:01:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Becoming-Whole-Audiobook/B00BF189Y2 thebookvoice.com 00:08:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Jung - Brilliant as Always, but Advanced As a student of Jung's writing and approach, this book is indispensable, but its complexity requires a hard copy as well, as another reviewer pointed out. There are perhaps some Jungian scholars who could do with just this Audible version, but even they would want a hard copy as well I would think. I am happy to have this Audible version as well as the Kindle version because the book contains so much that deep study is warranted. The narrator is definitely an acquired taste. She sounds like a female Stephen Hawking after three or more generations of speech generation development. It's a remarkable, if slightly creepy voice for this book. The book's dry nature of important, Jungian depth psychology concepts could use more emotion. And the "young" pronunciation of Jung should never have happened. Don't the narrators have a director who would correct that? Mispronunciation of names is terrible What disappointed you about Becoming Whole? The narrator. What didnt you like about Cris Dukeharts performance? The narrator's mispronunciation of both Jung's and Ibn 'Arabi's names drove me nuts. I quit listening and bought the printed book. Any additional comments? Definitely worth reading by those doing individuation and students of Jung and mystical traditions like Sufism. Computer generated Voice? What disappointed you about Becoming Whole? I am not disappointed in becoming whole... but the book's narrator sounds like a computer. I'm returning the audible version and buying the book. Would you ever listen to anything by Leslie Stein again? No. What didnt you like about Cris Dukeharts performance? I did not like it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Thoughts-Out-of-Season-by-Friedrich-Nietzsche-The-Complete-Work-Plus-an-Overview-Summary-Analysis-and-Author-Biography-Audiobook/B00W4EHFEE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations Author: Michael O'Sullivan Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In Philosophical Investigations, the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein presents a radical approach to problems in the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind. In fact, he sets out a radically new conception of philosophy itself. Published in 1953, two years after Wittgenstein's death, many still consider it one of the finest works of 20th century philosophy. Wittgenstein begins from the insight that most philosophical problems trace back to incorrect assumptions about the nature of language. So meaning, he claims, can be extracted by investigating how people truly use language and how those uses differ between communities and cultures. While previous works in the field typically described a philosophical problem, addressed various approaches, and debated solutions, Wittgenstein takes the unique approach of treating philosophy not as a theory, but as an activity. Rather than debate abstract problems, Wittgenstein urges philosophers to concern themselves with ordinary life and the concrete situations in which humans find themselves. You can find out more about how Ludwig Wittgenstein's ideas have been challenged and applied - and how his work has impacted on thinkers in other academic disciplines - by exploring further in the Macat Library.

While previous works in the field typically described a philosophical problem, addressed various approaches, and debated solutions, Wittgenstein takes the unique approach of treating philosophy not as a theory, but as an activity. Rather than debate abstract problems, Wittgenstein urges philosophers to concern themselves with ordinary life and the concrete situations in which humans find themselves.

The 'module' format is meaningless and doesn't allow for any development of concepts or ideas, instead fostering a repetitive style where you hear the reiteration of clichés about the book's 'great influence' on 20th century analytical philosophy, but no explanation of what that means in the context of the discipline as a whole. Superficial and truncated insights into how Wittgenstein relates to important disciplines such as sociology and anthropology and his influence on well-known theorists such as Bourdieu. The narrative stops at saying "Wittgenstein has been influential" and doesn't not take that idea any further in any meaningful way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Contre-histoire-de-la-philosophie-142-Nietzsche-Audiobook/B00TKIBUJS Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> Titre: Contre-histoire de la philosophie 14.2 : Nietzsche Auteur: Michel Onfray Narrateur: Michel Onfray Format: Original Recording Durée: 5 hrs and 9 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 09-14-10 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 4.5 sur 5 sur 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: 6 cours de philosophie sur Nietzsche "L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps, une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne, une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne.

Title: The Meaning of Life Subtitle: A Very Short Introduction Author: Terry Eagleton Narrator: Jay Snyder Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Eagleton first examines how centuries of thinkers and writers - from Marx and Schopenhauer to Shakespeare, Sartre, and Beckett - have responded to the ultimate question of meaning. He suggests, however, that it is only in modern times that the question has become problematic. But instead of tackling it head-on, many of us cope with the feelings of meaninglessness in our lives by filling them with everything from football to sex, Kabbala, Scientology, "New Age softheadedness" or fundamentalism. On the other hand, Eagleton notes, many educated people believe that life is an evolutionary accident that has no intrinsic meaning. If our lives have meaning, it is something with which we manage to invest them, not something with which they come ready made. Eagleton probes this view of meaning as a kind of private enterprise, and concludes that it fails to holds up. He argues instead that the meaning of life is not a solution to a problem, but a matter of living in a certain way. It is not metaphysical but ethical. It is not something separate from life, but what makes it worth living - that is, a certain quality, depth, abundance and intensity of life. Here then is a brilliant discussion of the problem of meaning by a leading thinker, who writes with a light and often irreverent touch, but with a very serious end in mind. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Terry Eagleton) Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:08:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Meaning-of-Life-Audiobook/B002V0THK6 thebookvoice.com 03:24:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Philosophizing beyond Nihilism or Fundamentalism Eagletons exploration of the meaning of life takes the listener on a meandering and fascinating path through intellectual culture, focusing mostly on 20th-century philosophy. Like the best of Eagletons literary theory and criticism, this audiobook shifts between profound, thought-provoking claims and humorous phrasings and analogies that keeps things lively. Likewise, the themes of the discussion are familiar from other works of his: he banks many of his best shots off the backboard of postmodern thought, rejecting its relativistic pluralism and its privatization of values. Hes particularly interested in the role that language plays in meaning and the implications of the possibility that life is meaningless. Listeners with some background in modern thought, and an interest to learn more, will find this recording worthwhile. The reader is well matched to the material. Meaning and Skepticism This short and well written book achieves it's goal. Terry Eagleton produced a clear and well balanced essay about the meaning of life, familiarizing the reader with the different concepts, even with the ones that reject the question. The philosophy's and theology's insights are considered and related with the main question. The reader can grasp the most important facets of the problem, considering the challenges posed by this enterprise. This short introduction makes it happen! You do the hokey, cokey and..... After encountering Terry Eagletons literary criticism through the various bookshelves of Modernism and his commentary on most of the central characters of English literature and following his more recent employment law case study and well-deserved spat with Martin Amis in the press, it was great to be able to sit down to a one volume history of everything according to Terry Eagleton. The meaning of life, we learn is intrinsically bound up with what it is to be Terry Eagleton. All of the main pointers can be picked up from the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, T.S. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Meaning-of-Things-Audiobook/B0032N8UU4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Makes you feel smarter, braver and more humane What made the experience of listening to The Meaning of Things the most enjoyable? One might think that a book of brief essays on a series of hackneyed topics (love, death, happiness, etc.), comprising little more than some brief thoughts from the author, always backed-up by cherry-picked examples from ancient and modern texts, would be boring and unsatisfying. But this work is actually a distillation of the wide but well chosen 40 years of reading by one of the world's top philosophers. Grayling made his name in technical philosophy working on epistemology and occasionally logic too; he's no lightweight when it comes to analytical bona fides. But he has made his name by writing popular works and ceaselessly contributing columns to an impressive number of publications. The Meaning of Things is certainly not rigorously argued, which leaves one thinking that it could be the advice column of any hack willing to pontificate on what they think about life and there are surely no shortage of those. What makes this better is not only the hinted at rigor which Grayling surely brings to his technical work, but also a mixture of assuredness and humility which accompany his thoughts on all the topics covered. Grayling has reached that stage of reading and study that anyone who pursues the humanities is striving for. He has read and understood a vast array of books and has incorporated the knowledge into his view fo the world. Pleasantly we find that this has allowed him to confidently dismiss ideas when they are evidently bunkum and to preserve awe and humility about the many things no one can be sure of, even well read, distinguished philosophers. I've made this one of the rare works that I listen to more than once, often going straight back to the start when the book finishes. Any time I listen I feel somehow more courageous and am left with not only a desire to do good, but a sense of equanimity at the knowledge that doing so will be hard. I can't say more for any book. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Meaning of Things? There are too many memorable moments. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Existentialism-Audiobook/B002V5H93I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: more of a summary and less of an introduction! it is better to choose another book if you are new to existentialism. but once you have grasped the concepts, this book could serve as a quick reminder of who said what . Disappointed I don't like to write a review for a book unless its positive, but I was a little bitter over wasting a credit on this. I am very eager to learn more about the subject of existentialism, but this book is way WAY too academic and snooty sounding. I felt like the author was writing to hear how intelligent he sounds. If you don't mind that, then this may hold a lot of information for you. Me, I couldn't get past the style. It was hard to get through the introduction let alone the major text. Three tries. I gave up and will have to look elsewhere for text/audio on existentialism. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Meditations-Audiobook/B0035YJG3K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Subtitle: An Anthropologist Considers the Evidence Author: C. R. Hallpike Narrator: Jon Mollison Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 07-28-17 Publisher: Castalia House Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: To know how to live, do we need God and religion, or does religion only produce wars, hatred, intolerance, and unhappiness? Does giving up God mean giving up morality, or can we finally live a peaceful and fulfilling life as atheists by following science and reason instead? Anthropologist Christopher Hallpike has spent a lifetime's research on the morality and religion of different cultures around the world and shows that trying to base a moral life on atheism and science actually has some very nasty surprises in store for us. Members Reviews: Quite a nice takedown of supposedly scientific secularism Hallpike delivers here an intellectually rigorous work that shows how common atheist strains of thought such as the meaninglessness of the universe and the denial of free will do not justify any of western atheists' professed liberal beliefs, even when such beliefs are otherwise worthy. It is sure to make one think hard about the implications of godlessness. Slow to start but insane wind up to the tour-du-finish. Starts out by espousing several different contradictory yet (by short sequences) logically correct perspectives on the topic. I'll admit, knowing the flaws in most of them drove me up the wall early on, but stick with it! The author is only taking the time to start logical chains for many different potential reader points of view. Get past the first couple of chapters and Hallpike suddenly whips out the cannons and goes full bore on a ride through history, covering philosophies, societies, law and politics with an incredibly accessible perspective on the cores, idiosyncrasies, origins and results of a very broad spectrum of ideologies and traditions. It's an exceedingly rare work of fiction that can get my pulse pounding, and this is no fiction at all, so it should tally as high praise that it managed to raise my pulse high enough to get the endorphins flowing in the final few chapters! Highly recommended! Just don't let Hallpike fool you into thinking he believes any of the simplistic views he espouses early on. Keep grinding to get to the meat, then get a grip on your skull and hold on tight! Highly recommended A remarkably fresh take on an old question. Hallpike brings his years of experience as an anthropologist to the bigger questions of what religion is, and how only some kind of religious-based metaphysic can really one to speak meaningfully of "good", "evil", and "morality". Along the way, some well placed shots are fired at the New Atheism, a few of whose denizens have paddled in the shallow end of this discussion. Hallpike writes with energy, passion, wisdom and humour: I really thought I'd considered most angles on this subject, but "Do We Need God to be God" helped me consider some fresh approaches to this question. Highly recommended. Awesome exposition from an anthropological view This sort of book requires discipline to read, but is well worth the effort. Many new and fresh ideas are presented. Refreshing look at real questions This book combines a dispationately open mind viewpoint with rigorously logical arguments. I liked the way it focused on fects and the way things rally are even as it felt with the big questions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Great-Mystery-Matter-Vs-Spirit-Audiobook/B01C4Q0GPG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A nice little introduction My one complaint about this book is that the reader for Peirce sounds consistently angry. Knowing a little about Peirce's personality, that may not be inaccurate, but it could easily obscure the message of his words. In fact, Peirce's language is often refreshingly clear while ocassionally and paradoxically bordering on the poetic. That said, this little book gives plenty of space to Peirce who, while little known to most laymen, is considered by many professionals as the most original and influential of American philosophers. This is an entertaining and illuminating introduction and likely to lead to a desire to know more. The source for anti-idealism... A painless introduction to the primarily American philosophy of "the smell test". In brief "ideas must stand the practical scrutiny of rational people...despite historic dogma. Good introduction American Pragmatism is one of the greatly misunderstood philosophical ideas. This particular introduction does a fine job of explaining both the historical and intellectual background. Some very important areas of pragmatism are cleared up in this work. A good narrative account, lacking real depth. I enjoyed this title and I think if it had been a radio broadcast I would have been very pleased with it. However, I expect a little more from a published (audio)book and was a little disappointed with the lack of depth in terms of the actual philosophy of Peirce and James themselves. Dewey was mentioned a great deal but again his take is summarised rather than really developed. Not a bad title, just not a great one. Still, probably worth two hours; though there's not much new in it if you're already familiar with either thinker. Could be a good one to recommend to students. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Dao-De-Jing-Audiobook/B01CO0QG8S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Are you envious of your friends' success? Are you suffering from status anxiety? We all worry about what others think of us. We all long to succeed and fear failure. We all suffer - to a greater or lesser degree, usually privately and with embarrassment - from status anxiety. For the first time, Alain de Botton gives a name to his universal condition and sets out to investigate both its origins and possible solutions. He looks at history, philosophy, economics, art, and politics - and reveals the many ingenious ways that great minds have overcome their worries. The result is a book that is not only entertaining and thought-provoking - but genuinely wise and helpful as well. Critic Reviews: "De Botton is in tune with the times. He is artful in defining the contemporary Western condition, and through careful deliberation places his concepts in everyday, historical, and cultural contexts. And he does it with wit: his mock tabloid headline for Oedipus the King is: "Sex with Mum was Blinding". He does not deserve the frequent criticism of his fragmentary style (which veritably adds to the pleasure), and of watering down philosophy. If philosophy is to be revived as a pertinent inquiry into the nature of being, which is what it is, then why shouldn't the masses partake in it?"

Members Reviews: Plat-Soc-Paul What was most disappointing about Paul Johnsons story? This isn't exactly an introduction, because much of what Johnson discusses will require prior knowledge and familiarity with Socrates and this period of Greek history. However, this work is nowhere near scholarly quality either. This can only be a review or refresher - yet it is a review of the author's highly biased ideas of what he wants Socrates to represent. The author's style is at once narcissistic, pompous, and vague. Johnson rebukes Plato for using Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own ideas, yet does so himself ad nauseum throughout the entire book. Socrates in Johnson's hands is little more than a puppet used to validate Johnson's own ideology. Johnson's sycophantic rendering of Socrates is selective hero worship, not genuine scholarship. Would you listen to another book narrated by John Curless? The narrator is perfectly adequate to the task and the book is easy to listen to and can be absorbed in a single sitting because it lacks the kind of substance that would require rest and reflection. Any additional comments? Skip this drivel - check out Plato's Dialogues so that you can form your own ideas and come to your own conclusions about Socrates. History, context, and analysis: Great listen! I love all of Johnson's books. This one gave me an understanding of what we know of Socrates. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a brief overview of the era, culture, his contemporaries, his life and death, his philosophy, and a masterly analysis of it all. Great Story About a Great Man We all know the name Socrates, but often time we think philosophers are insufferable know-it-alls. Socrates was not. Although this book only generally touches upon his philosophy it does a great job in describing what sort of man Socrates was and the times he lived in. The author does a great job in making the information accessible and interesting and the narrator was excellent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Kritisch-denken-Hoorcollege-over-het-ontwikkelen-van-heldere-ideeen-en-argumenten-Audiobook/B01CUGDFEO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Man for Himself Subtitle: An Inquiry into the Psychology of Ethics Author: Erich Fromm Narrator: Phil Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In Man for Himself, Erich Fromm examines the confusion of modern women and men who, because they lack faith in any principle by which life ought to be guided, become the helpless prey forces both within and without. From the broad, interdisciplinary perspective that marks Fromm's distinguished oeuvre, he shows that psychology cannot divorce itself from the problems of philosophy and ethics, and that human nature cannot be understood without understanding the values and moral conflicts that confront us all. He shows that an ethical system can be based on human nature rather than on revelations or traditions.

It is mistakenly believed that Socrates' quest is dated and that we as species have outgrown such philosophical speculations. However, this is not the case, since the Socratic search for knowledge is a perennial one and we can learn much by closely reading what these early Greek thinkers pondered during their time. In this book, we have included excerpts from the Socratic dialogues (as penned by his most famous student, Plato) and Professor Andrea Diem-Lane's brilliant treatise on the "Cerebral Mirage" which brings Plato and Socrates up to date by showing how the latest findings in quantum theory and neuroscience substantiate much of early Greek skepticism, particularly concerning how easily we can be deceived by our various forms of certainty. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Andrea Diem-Lane) Mon, 03 Oct 2016 04:29:38 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Socratic-Quest-Audiobook/B01LXP6675 thebookvoice.com 03:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I knew I was going to like this book I enjoy the author's approach to our deterministic universe and the perspective of free will with moral responsibility for our own actions. As always, the author is never in your face with his beliefs and practices the art of critical reasoning better than anyone. He puts others contrary viewpoints in their most effective forms and systematically shows why they are not right and are not as effective as they might seem at first glance, and then goes on to build a coherent consistent system. For me, I enjoy the author's writing style, but I realize it can be dense for others and the author himself refers to some of his previous writing as "obscure and difficult". I guess I like obscure and difficult when I know at the end I'll understand the subject matter better than I have ever before. He says that "if you make anything small enough than everything will be external". By making the role of the individual insignificant you will make free will outside of the person and free will belongs within us not outside of us. Also, he says that "we all want to be held accountable for our own actions", both at the individual and societal level. That makes free will within us. As the author steps the reader through the development of freedom, he also gives the listener some of the best takes on why homo sapiens are so different from any other species known in the universe. Most of what is in this book seems to be covered in his other books I've read, Consciousness, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, and Intuition Pumps. For those who don't have the time to read those three books (2 of which are fairly long listens), this book would act as a great surrogate for them. Complicated, but worth it. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes. I think free will is an interesting topic. It is also third on my list of questions which are hard to answer, after the existence of God and abortion. Prior to reading this book, I had concluded that free will did not exist, but I eventually came to doubt this conclusion. To make sure that I was correct about free will's nonexistence, I read this book. After I read it, I continued disbelieving in free will, but I had stronger and stronger doubts as I came to better understand the compatibilist arguments. Ten weeks after reading this book, I concluded that the ability we have to make choices warrants the name "free will". I'm glad I ironed out the truth on this complicated issue. Any additional comments? This book is a bit dry in spots, so prepare yourself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Nietzsches-The-Birth-of-Tragedy-Audiobook/B01CO5F9WW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Gets to the point, no fluff, just start the audio and boom a sense of urgency to go through Logic. Hard to find anywhere else. I love this author Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? It was so clear, concise, yet comprehensive. Who was your favorite character and why? Only one character, the author, but I love him, his controlled passion, and I love this author's 'library' of audio logic books. What about J.-M. Kuczynskis performance did you like? The directness, the starkness. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The set-theoretic interpretations of arithmetic truths. Any additional comments? A perfect intro for students of logic, set theory. The author clearly states exactly what is important, no fluff, no frills. Just pure content. literally just a guy quickly reading a list What would have made 101 Principles of Logic better? literally just a guy quickly reading a list of 101...anything would be better What was most disappointing about J.-M. Kuczynskis story? no story Any additional comments? should not be marketed as a book. it isnt a book very clear and helpful What made the experience of listening to 101 Principles of Logic the most enjoyable? it was so clear and direct What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? the thoroughness and clarity Have you listened to any of J.-M. Kuczynskis other performances before? How does this one compare? it is ok, but he can do better, narration-wise Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? it was very smart Any additional comments? i like this author https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Machiavellians-Audiobook/B002VACF3W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Burnham is the greatest political analyst of our century and this is his best book." (National Review, 100 Best Non-Fiction Books of the Century) Members Reviews: Fine intro to an authentic science of politics The "Machiavellian" writers Burnham discusses span a rather diverse spectrum of views. What they have in common is an objective, scientific approach to politics that avoids allowing wishful thinking, or ideas about what ought to be, to impede their discernment of the way things actually are. I disagreed with Burnham's tendency to dismiss religious ideas as inherently irrationalist. Also, his attempt at clarification in response to Machiavelli's reputation ignores the fact that Machiavelli did, after all, offer some amoral advice, not just non-moral analysis. While some of Burnhams predictions proved correct only in the short run, his method contains within itself the the capacity for self-correction, which is part of the whole point of the book. This book remains invaluable for all who seek to develop a scientific understanding of politics, regardless of their philosophical persuasion. Serious political science The narration could drone, but the content was excellent. Many sections worth re-listening to and bookmarking. Filled with political myth busting and strategies and structures for preserving liberty in the real world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Descartes-Bacon-and-Modern-Philosophy-Audiobook/B002V1LMGC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: More Descartes than Bacon Very detailed (and accurate) summary of Descartes's philosophy. Much less info about Bacon. Not Great Though informative, over three-quarters of the treatment is concerned with Descartes, leaving very little room for Bacon and leaving Modern Philosophy as an after thought tacked on as a closing paragraph. There's also problems with the recording at certain points throughout making it quite irritating to listen to at times. If you want to learn more about Descartes than Bacon this is probably good as an introduction, but don't expect much else. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Learn-Willpower-with-Existential-Philosophers-Nietzsche-Kierkegaard-Audiobook/B01N4FYOYG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Learn Willpower with Existential Philosophers Nietzsche & Kierkegaard Author: Friedrich Nietzsche, Sren Kierkegaard Narrator: Katie Haigh Format: Unabridged Length: 59 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-16 Publisher: Astorg Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Learn willpower with 250 quotes by the two most famous existential philosophers: Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. Nietzsche is a major figure in Western philosophy. His work is radical, sometimes violent, often ironic; it fascinates anyone bold enough to delve into it, exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history, and covers a wide range of subjects. Nietzsche's writings borders on the poetic; his aphorisms are particularly well-known for conveying all the radicalism of his thinking in an intense but light, sometimes amusing manner.

Members Reviews: waste of money and time as the title says waste of money and time too bad that I can't returned it This is not the voice of an Alpha Male What disappointed you about The Alpha Male Guide? I What didnt you like about Alec Sands performance? The voice of the narrator was so bothering. It was like a rollercoaster. At the beginning of a sentence you barely hear anything and at the end the voice almost destroys your ear-drum. Was he trying to emulate the voice of an alpha male? If so, it is a big fail! This is not the voice of an alpha male but of a bully. James Bond has the voice of an alpha male: clear, calm and confident voice. Any additional comments? If the contents would have been great, I could forgive the voice, but it was not. Most of the advices in this book are very superficial and will not lead you to a better life Not What I was Expecting, but Entertaining I love the narrator, I thought he was witty and funny in his performance. The advice was nothing new; I was expecting some old timey wisdom from the age of those philosophers, which is probably what it was, but I was expecting it to be more aged, I guess. Performance was great. Hardcore Very well narrated! Great wisdom it was worth it. He brought both his balls on the in your face tough love advice and slapped you in the face with the language I will live by this from now on !! Best book Would you listen to The Alpha Male Guide again? Why? Yes so much useful tips on how to live What other book might you compare The Alpha Male Guide to and why? Bible Which scene was your favorite? All of it Any additional comments?

In these minutes, I will address the logical fallacies I see in any intelligent design model that poses the notion of a creator god who created the universe with specific intent and purpose. It is my hope that I can offer many pieces of evidence that show such an idea of an intelligent designer is not only logically inconsistent but also absurd. To do this, I will focus on three main points of contention: intelligence, design, and purpose.

Members Reviews: Go for It I found the Amazon description interesting, so I attempted to check this out. However, that failed, so I had to buy this. I thought such a short read wouldn't be that bad until I found myself questioning the preface. I just misunderstood some of it, though. On the plus side, my opinion changed within a few pages. First off, the author answered a question I had about philosophy being better than science for this type of question. Also, I all of his arguments were solid and well-made. However, he digressed a little instead of just getting to it. In addition, I liked how he acknowledged some criticisms and made a few good points. All that said, I found this to be a worthwhile read. I figured that everybody should give this a chance. However, I wanted to recommend that you go for the Kindle version. That might be a better buy than the paperback, considering how short this was Thought provoking A philosophic argument against intelligent design which is clearly and rationally explained. Whether you are religious or agnostic this book presents rational ideas that are very thought provoking. If you have any questions about religion read this with an open mind. Excellent explanation Easy, quick read on a complex subject. I have a better understanding of my own beliefs and how to explain to others. Too bad some people are too closed minded to read this. Great read Easy to follow,informative,interesting and delightful. I would definitely purchase more from C.Rigsby in the future Good book. Well thought-out and insightful Good book. Well thought-out and insightful. Certainly demonstrates that god must not be much of an engineer since all kinds of things are so poorly "engineered." https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Power-of-Shame-Audiobook/B002V57ODI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The reader speaks fast and is challenging at times to understand. This is a metaphysical view of "shame" and not along the lines of Bradshaw, et. al. Wouldn't recommend as a self help book, but more as an entertaining definition of word "shame," and how it affects so many of us in today's Western society. How did the narrator detract from the book? Challenging to understand. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Psychopathology-of-Everyday-Life-Audiobook/B0721QLLJF Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As I have said in other reviews, whether you agree with him or not, Freud is always a good read! I found the book easy to understand and interesting enough to use in everyday life... Five Stars This is three time to import same book. But, this seems real copy from manuscript. Five Stars very insightful Clarity Explained issues of daily life we don't think much about in depth and a way not usually easy to grasp.. Freud Read in college a LONG time ago and wanted to go back and re-read it 40 years later. Found so many things I missed in college.

Members Reviews: Another masterful lecture about our mind set there's nothing like listening to Dr Murphy in helping us get into the correct mindset. he has helped me even after 30 years of religious studies, to understand the scriptures even more than I did, in a way that helps me more than ever. Very Conversation Like Gave it 4 stars because the delivery is LIVE as it says so it's not so much lecture like (as I expected) as it is uncle-to-niece like. Good but more free via YouTube good & not pay via Audible good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Hunger-Games-and-Philosophy-Audiobook/B0090KWL1W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Hunger Games and Philosophy Subtitle: A Critique of Pure Treason Author: George A. Dunn, Nicolas Michaud Narrator: Vanessa Hart Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A philosophical exploration of Suzanne Collins's New York Times best-selling series, just in time for the release of The Hunger Games movie. Katniss Everdeen is "the girl who was on fire," but she is also the girl who made us think, dream, question authority, and rebel. The post-apocalyptic world of Panem's twelve districts is a divided society on the brink of war and struggling to survive, while the Capitol lives in the lap of luxury and pure contentment. At every turn in the Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss, Peeta, Gale, and their many allies wrestle with harrowing choices and ethical dilemmas that push them to the brink. Is it okay for Katniss to break the law to ensure her family's survival? Do ordinary moral rules apply in the Arena? Can the world of The Hunger Games shine a light into the dark corners of our world? Why do we often enjoy watching others suffer? How can we distinguish between what's Real and Not Real? This book draws on some of history's most engaging philosophical thinkers to take you deeper into the story and its themes, such as sacrifice, altruism, moral choice, and gender. An essential companion for Hunger Games fans, this book will take you deeper into the dystopic world of Panem and into the minds and motivations of those who occupy it. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (George A.

Members Reviews: Narrator's "Serious Voice" is GRATING!!! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I loved the content, but will need to buy the hard copy, as I cannot stand the narrator! What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? I truly enjoyed the series, and it's incredibly interesting to draw parallels and revisit history as well as to examine the work philosophically! What didnt you like about the narrators performance? "uh-trackerrrr-uh-jacker-uh-nessst." Narrator speaks with an /u/ sound which strings each word together when she is trying to say something poignant. It's bloody irritating. I really don't love it. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Hunger Games and Philosophy? I think I will know better when I read the book in its entirety. Any additional comments? Narrator: no bueno. :/ Philosophy of decisions Would you consider the audio edition of The Hunger Games and Philosophy to be better than the print version? I found listening allowed me to review and contemplate how the characters interacted among each other. I enjoyed the emotional roller coaster of all the Hunger games books. The Philosophy of the Hunger games ties all of the actions together for the listener to understand why certain actions were taken by the characters. A very good series of audio books that are more entertaining to listen too, than read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Also-sprach-Zarathustra-Audiobook/B00TL5C0JY Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> Titel: Also sprach Zarathustra Autor:: Friedrich Nietzsche Erzähler: Thomas Gehringer Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 8 hrs and 24 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 08-25-14 Herausgeber: hoerbuch.cc Bewertung: 3.5 von 5 von 4 Stimmen Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Mit "Also sprach Zarathustra" hat Nietzsche ein faszinierendes Hauptwerk geschaffen, einen Meilenstein der Weltliteratur.

Fair disclosure would have noted that this is an electronically reprocessed product, not a book produced in the traditional manner. It's apparently not quite print-on-demand, but still contains enough errors and typographical nonsense to be distracting on nearly every page. A human being would have picked up these flaws effortlessly. It is readable, though less than professional in its mechanics. Brilliant, well-written and mind-opening Brilliant, well-written and mind-opening. A must read classic for any philosopher, social scientist, literary theorist, or the general reader.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 83 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The basic character of life in this world is to exhibit a primal tendency he calls "will to power". He glorifies those who are strong enough to face this reality: for they alone can live joyfully, without God and without any hope of ultimate salvation. The "overman" is his new ideal, the symbol of creativity incarnate. Man is fundamentally only an animal that has developed in an unusual way. Yet a "higher humanity" can emerge if the most talented, creative, and strongest individuals flourish and prevail, rising above the life of the "common herd" that typifies mankind. Nietzsche rejects democratic ideals, believing that they ignore human differences and hinder the exceptionally talented. Conflict, mastery, and creativity are essential to life and its development. The "will to power" brings about new forms of competition and superiority, as artists and other creative types pave the way for the "enhancement" of human life.

Members Reviews: General overview of a revolutionary thinker Any additional comments? This is a good general introduction by a well respected Nietzsche scholar. Because Nietzsche's thought was so revolutionary, it is understandable that some might not be able to appreciate how important his insights were and are. The best next step, after this overview of his thought, is to spend time with Nietzsche's Twilight_of_the_Idols. A great thinker What a great thinker Nietzsche was and overall, I really enjoyed this listen and learning about this phenomonal philospher. Boring God may have died due to suicide after listening to this book. This lecture may be the cure for insomnia. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Ethics-101-Audiobook/B076MN7G7J Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not great The book I didn't feel was particularly good, a lot more time should have been spent on the different schools of thought, I felt everything was very superficial in approach and more background on the main thinkers of ethics should have been provided, not even just so that we can try to match the personal lives of the people behind the theories with the theories themselves, but as to make the journey of learning the theory more engaging and interesting. the narration was quite slow at times and too dry. Actually this subject would be most suited as a Great Course lecture. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Descartes-Spinoza-Leibniz-Audiobook/B00TKIE22U Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> Titre: Descartes - Spinoza - Leibniz Sous-titre: L'œuvre philosophique expliquée Auteur: Luc Ferry Narrateur: Luc Ferry Format: Original Recording Durée: 4 hrs and 18 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 04-09-13 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 4.5 sur 5 sur 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: René Descartes, philosophe français par excellence, ouvre l'ère de la modernité.

You'll learn: Members Reviews: Some merit, but more religious masquerade I will openly admit that I wanted to kick myself for not reading the reviews prior to purchasing this audiobook. All the reviews would have kept me from stepping directly into the trap of this book, which in part, must have been deliberately set. The titles and book synopsis do not disclose the blatant reduction of nearly each criticism to a Christian fundamentalist viewpoint, which should be OPENLY DISCLOSED. The book was well written, flowed well and was interesting with each chapter until the abrupt drop into a religious sermon. What was disappointing was that the author, who is obviously intelligent and a good writer, describes some valid criticisms and makes some arguments that keep you just interested enough that you think, "well, maybe the next chapter will be better." I can only hope to save another person some time, as others in the review section tried to do for me. The single biggest statement that can be said about the reviews of this book is that you can be rest assured that anyone who gave it 5 stars and "bought extra copies for _____" is an individual with strong Christian fundamental beliefs...which should divulge this book's blatant bias. I have submitted a request to Audible that this book be moved to the religious section, as keeping it in nonfiction is misleading. I'm sure that if you purchase this book KNOWING it is a theologic book, you will enjoy it immensely and you will be glad you spent the money. 4.5 stars for the writing & text, but ZERO for the fact that it is a religious book masquerading as non-fiction literature. Egotistical Rant By A Very Poor Academic I feel like I've been hoodwinked into buying this book! It is not a proper critique on the books in question at all. It is just a Fundamentalist Christian diatribe on why we should ignore anything that an atheist tells us. Simply Excellent A head on confrontation with several poisonous ideas presented in a level, reasoned and unpretentious manner. Ideas have consequences and this book shows the reader how some of the worst ideas have had a lasting and profound impact on our society. The narrator does the work justice and it was a truly enjoyable presentation. One of the best I've heard in a long time. Well done. An Exercise in Philosophical Hypocricy Let's get the easy part of this out of the way first. The pacing and presentation of the material is outstanding, along with the narration, which perfectly fits with the tones of intellectual superiority with which the author writes. The author actually starts quite strong, with some reasonably well presented chapters on Machiavelli through Hobbes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Modern-Scholar-Philosophy-of-Mind-Audiobook/B0042QM4FC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Definitely "mind" expanding! This is an excellent introduction to a subject that many people consider too arcane or esoteric to even consider. If that is you, then re-consider! Professor Pessin is an engaging narrator, and takes the listener on a thought-provoking tour of our inner life, tackling such fascinating subjects as mind-body dualism, qualia, and the mysteries of consciousness. I can't recommend it highly enough!! Clear and Well Balanced The issues in philosophy of mind are some of the most challenging and important to our understanding of ourselves as human beings that one can imagine. Are our minds illusions, our thoughts determined? Do we have free will? Prof. Pessin's lectures present the issues and principal voices in this field with clarity. He aims to let the great variety of points of view be understood on their own terms. He carefully provides the listener with resources for grasping both the excitement of the field and the difficult choices to be made. Good overview Any additional comments? Only thing I want to complain about is the lack of idealism but it does cover good amount of ground. Good introductory course Well structured, well performed, an overall interesting listen. Could have been a bit longer, but offered a taste of the fundamentals of the discipline nonetheless. Enjoyable and easy to follow. I thought these lectures presented the main theories of consciousness in a way that made sense. It was a logical series of arguments that I could follow and I felt I got a lot from it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Voltaire-and-Rousseau-Audiobook/B002V0QR54 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Singularity of Being Subtitle: Lacan and the Immortal Within Author: Mari Ruti Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 09-11-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Singularity of Being presents a Lacanian vision of what makes each of us an inimitable and irreplaceable creature. It argues that, unlike the "subject" (who comes into existence as a result of symbolic prohibition) or the "person" (who is aligned with the narcissistic conceits of the imaginary), the singular self emerges in response to a galvanizing directive arising from the real. This directive carries the force of an obligation that cannot be resisted and that summons the individual to a "character" beyond his or her social investments. Consequently, singularity expresses something about the individual's non-negotiable distinctiveness, eccentricity, or idiosyncrasy at the same time it prevents both symbolic and imaginary closure. It opens to layers of rebelliousness, indicating that there are components of human life exceeding the realm of normative sociality. Written with an unusual blend of rigor and clarity, The Singularity of Being combines incisive readings of Lacan with the best insights of recent Lacanian theory to reach beyond the dogmas of the field. Moving from what, thanks in part to Slavoj Zizek, has come to be known as the "ethics of the act" to a nuanced interpretation of Lacan's "ethics of sublimation", the book offers a sweeping overview of Lacan's thought while making an original contribution to contemporary theory and ethics. Aimed at specialists and nonspecialists alike, the book manages to educate at the same time as it intervenes in current debates about subjectivity, agency, resistance, creativity, the self-other relationship, and effective political and ethical action. By focusing on the Lacanian real, Ruti honors the uniqueness of subjective experience without losing sight of the social and intersubjective components of human life. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Mari Ruti) Tue, 11 Sep 2012 02:33:40 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Singularity-of-Being-Audiobook/B0098M60WI thebookvoice.com 11:51:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This directive carries the force of an obligation that cannot be resisted and that summons the individual to a "character" beyond his or her social investments. Consequently, singularity expresses something about the individual's non-negotiable distinctiveness, eccentricity, or idiosyncrasy at the same time it prevents both symbolic and imaginary closure. It opens to layers of rebelliousness, indicating that there are components of human life exceeding the realm of normative sociality. Written with an unusual blend of rigor and clarity, The Singularity of Being combines incisive readings of Lacan with the best insights of recent Lacanian theory to reach beyond the dogmas of the field. Moving from what, thanks in part to Slavoj Zizek, has come to be known as the "ethics of the act" to a nuanced interpretation of Lacan's "ethics of sublimation", the book offers a sweeping overview of Lacan's thought while making an original contribution to contemporary theory and ethics. Aimed at specialists and nonspecialists alike, the book manages to educate at the same time as it intervenes in current debates about subjectivity, agency, resistance, creativity, the self-other relationship, and effective political and ethical action. By focusing on the Lacanian real, Ruti honors the uniqueness of subjective experience without losing sight of the social and intersubjective components of human life.

Members Reviews: Passionate and Accessible Lacanian Theory Ruti's book offers a very interesting and compelling way of framing the way we view reality, others, ourselves, and our interactions. It's not an easy listen, but compared to all the other texts out their on Lacanian thought, it's almost a breeze. Lots to Think About Really great discussion of various Lacanian viewpoints. Perhaps not for someone completely unfamiliar with some of the names and ideas, but none the less it made some more difficult discussions fairly accessible. Valuable read A politicized and existential interpretation of Lacan but one that elucidate many of his difficult concepts clearly and succinctly. Whether you agree with parts of the authors particular interpretation of Lacan, this is a very valuable read. The only book that my iPod won't even play No matter how often I repurchase, delete, redownload this title, it won't play on my iPod - I can play it on my desktop, but there's no point. Really disappointing, as I'm interested in this title. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Master-Stoic-Advanced-Principles-and-Theories-of-Stoicism-That-Will-Transform-Your-Approach-to-Life-Audiobook/B0773BTFBD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good, but lacking substance This book is good for any practicing Stoic in that it adequately examines the teachings of famous Stoics and provides suggestions on how to apply them to everyday life. However, the steps are somewhat ambiguous, and instead of guiding the reader through the process of mastering their Stoicism, it provides them with a list of steps to complete. I dont quite like the Do these magic steps and youll be happy aspect to books like this. For such a practical philosophy, surely there is an equally practical way to lead readers to their highest potential. Very good guide in Stoicism I found out a lot of new information. This philosophy was founded by Zeno of Citium. As I understood, Stoicism means to live life in the harmony with nature. Stoicism includes Pantheism, Adiaphora, Rational control over passion, etc. Ethics, logic, and physics are the main parts of stoic education. This book also introduces modern tenets based on Stoicism, there are 14 tenets. All in all, this book is informative and full of information. This is a vital, practical, and effective I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in reading about and potentially obtaining a day-to-day mindful philosophy. Adopting Stoicism within my daily life has affected me in many profound ways, as Stoicism has changed the way I have thought about the world and humanity as a whole. In short, get the book and see for yourself if you can at least get some good out of it! Interesting topic. Interesting topic about the philosphy of Stoicism. The beliefs and doctrines it has in such a long peroid of time became adaptable in human race. It was written in place of easy to contemplate words. A very valuable book to have. Excellent book! This was a great book. Easy to read and will lots of information that really helped me understand the topic. I like the clickable table of contents so I can skip around to reread my favorite parts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Teachings-of-Don-Carlos-Audiobook/B002V5BSNU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Looking forward to reading the rest of Victor Sanchez books Too much time on techniques I would have preferred to read the Don Juan books and caught the process(es) in the narrative of what Sanchez was summarizing here: Climbing trees. Getting permission from trees. Hanging 35 feet in the air on a harrass. Impersonating the fool both to yourself and to strangers, in an bid to transcend ego ("not doing") and attain heightened awareness. These images and more are contained in the strategies of this audioook. Nope, not for me! :( Not only are some of these techniques creepy, like caressing the (living) skeleton of your girlfriend, for example, many of these directives are unnecessarily difficult and impractical to execute logistically. I was hoping this audiobook would discuss the principles of reality and non-reality. What I heard after the first hour was a manual on how to confound your ego and freak out your co-workers. Learning magic or shamanizing is not my ultimate intent, I just want to read about the experiences, get to the revelations--cliff notes style--and meditate on what I read. :) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Philosophy-of-Fine-Art-by-Georg-Wilhelm-Friedrich-Hegel-Audiobook/B07231MM18 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent Kindle edition This is one of the most impressive free kindle editions of a book that I have read. It is taken from a 1902 printing (a 2nd edition) that was reprinted from the posthumous edition of 1777. It includes endnotes and an extensive index put together by L.A Selby-Bigge, a late fellow of University College, Oxford. There is a table of contents at the beginning with hyperlinks. The endnotes also have hyperlinks, which makes it easy to read the notes and jump back to the text. The index also has hyperlinks. This is the first kindle freebie that I have seen with these features. This is handy for this type of book. Note that Hume is Scottish and the book was originally written in English. I have always had an interest in philosophy and history and finally got around to reading this foundational work. The title describes exactly what this book is about. Hume starts by giving a brief introduction to philosophy and then jumps into the main questions. The biggie is where do ideas come from? How do we understand things? What is instinct, inspiration? It is interesting that his answers to these questions still hold up well to modern thought. Hume wrote this book at a time and place where Calvinism still held great sway and God was thought to be behind every thought and action. His ideas were radical and I was interested to see how he tried to delicately handle ideas that would potentially offend many of his readers. I highly recommend this seminal work to any one interested in philosophy and enjoys stretching their minds a bit. This is something I will refer to often. I continue to enjoy the access my Kindle gives me to great classics like this. One of the Greatest Works of Western Philosophy! Rene Descartes (1596-1650), "the father of modern philosophy," was a rationalist who attempted to attain certainty by discovering "first principles" on which he could overcome skeptical doubt and establish irrefutable truth. He claimed that one thing is absolutely certain: Cogito, ergo sum ("I think, therefore I am"). From this solid rock on which to stand, he proceeded to claim that by reason alone he could prove the existence of God, the immortality of the soul, and the reality of an afterlife. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was trained in the rationalist tradition, but when he read David Hume's work, the impact shattered his way of thinking. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Quine-on-the-Analytic-Synthetic-Distinction-Audiobook/B01LYJOOSJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is something that you learn to adopt into your everyday life; its ancient wisdom is more relevant than ever today. Dating back to around 300 BC in Athens, Stoicism was initially developed by Zeno of Citium. The essence of the philosophy is one of using grit and self-control as ways of overcoming destructive emotions. Despite the modern perception of the word Stoic, this does not mean to eliminate all kinds of feelings from your life. The goal, rather, is to transform your emotions. Stretching from the Hellenistic period to the 21st century, Stoicism has not lost its practicality in dealing with the problems of life, incorporating logic, self-dialogue, and meditation designed to keep your attention fixed on the present moment. It ensures a firm and consistent way of life that focuses on the choices you make so that failure ultimately leads to more success. For anyone new to the Stoic philosophy, let this book guide you through everything you need to know in one easily accessible yet comprehensive introduction, from its origin and history to the core beliefs and principles.

Members Reviews: Short, sweet, to the point. Short, sweet, to the point. But overall, it is simply ok. This is a super light review of what Stoicism is, to the extent that saying that Sesame Street is a 'kids show with puppets'. I appreciate the fact that the book exists, because I bought it and then bought a few follow-on books because of this book, but I can't say that this book had any 'new' information. Two pros: The price is extremely 'on point' for the book, and you can read it in about 30minutes. Realities: Don't expect any detail in this book to answer all your questions, rather, it'll let you know if you want to buy the Seneca/Mediations books which are $20/pop. So in that regards, this book serves a pretty good purpose. Excellent! Stoicism swims against the tidal wave of words and emotion based thinking currently pervasive in society. Stoicism is character and action based. It focuses on Virtue and Wisdom and Reason things nearly lost in todayâs hyperbolic vitriol filled media saturated environment that above all worships feelings whether reality based or not. I recommend as an excellent stroll through a different world view. Nice Primer Nice intro to the philosophy. Very similar to other texts I've read on mindfulness and existentialism, or longer treatises like "Man's Search for Meaning". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/To-Forgive-Design-Audiobook/B00K7PNY0G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But Henry Petroski says we must look beyond design for causes and corrections. Known for his masterly explanations of engineering successes and failures, Petroski here takes his analysis a step further, to consider the larger context in which accidents occur. In To Forgive Design he surveys some of the most infamous failures of our time, from the 2007 Minneapolis bridge collapse and the toppling of a massive Shanghai apartment building in 2009 to Boston's prolonged Big Dig and the 2010 Gulf oil spill. These avoidable disasters reveal the interdependency of people and machines within systems whose complex behavior was undreamed of by their designers, until it was too late. Petroski shows that even the simplest technology is embedded in cultural and socioeconomic constraints, complications, and contradictions. Failure to imagine the possibility of failure is the most profound mistake engineers can make. Software developers realized this early on and looked outside their young field, to structural engineering, as they sought a historical perspective to help them identify their own potential mistakes. By explaining the interconnectedness of technology and culture and the dangers that can emerge from complexity, Petroski demonstrates that we would all do well to follow their lead. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Henry Petroski) Mon, 12 May 2014 02:40:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/To-Forgive-Design-Audiobook/B00K7PNY0G thebookvoice.com 13:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An excellent read for anyone doing design What did you love best about To Forgive Design? Petroski's insight into the important role of inevitable failures is a reminder of just how much we take for granted. The point that experienced and new engineers (and all designers) can get out of this book is that failed designs can teach us where we misunderstood. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Age-of-Genius-Audiobook/B01A7PZ44Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Today is a function of the 17th century To understand who we are one must first understand where we came from and how we got there. Nothing provides more insight into our current human condition than a well thought out history about a critical century of thought such as this book provides. I've noticed that my "Scientific American" during the last two issues has commented on how the two statements recently made by actual politicians: "Climate change is a Chinese Hoax", and that "philosophers are not as important as welders", show a complete detachment from reality. Critical reasoning and rational thought based on empirical facts are universally accepted by subscribers to "Scientific American" and they owe a debt a gratitude to the 17th century pre-Enlightenment age as outlined in this book. The book provides a very good narrative for describing how we went from magic to science in such a short time. He'll bring in the elements from the 16th century which are necessary for telling the story and takes the story into the 18th and beyond when required. He never forces the reader into the artificial boundaries created by the 17th century as such. There is one criticism I did have on this book. It was how he presented the 30 year war (1618 - 1648). He is muddled. There are much better books and lectures on the subject matter, but don't allow yourself to get discouraged by his incoherence on that most interesting of all wars and realize it does matter for understanding today. Students of understanding modern times often make the major mistake of starting their studies with the beginning of the 20th century. Today's world did not happen in a vacuum and this book provides an excellent starting point for understanding today's world. Progress leading to critical reasoning and rational thought based on empirical methods and logical principles were not guaranteed for humanity. This book shows some of the paradigm shifts in thinking that were necessary before they became the norm. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Stoicism-Audiobook/B073QZNXGP Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Stoicism Subtitle: Applying Timeless Wisdom to Your Daily Life Author: Marc Pantazis Narrator: Kevin Theis Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-17 Publisher: Nathan Earl Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What is the philosophy of stoicism? "To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school. It is to solve some of the problems of life not only theoretically, but practically." (Thoreau) Stoicism is a branch of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the third century BC, though it was made popular by practitioners such as Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca. The philosophy primarily espouses that virtue (wisdom) alone leads to happiness, and that we don't have the power control all external circumstances though we can control our responses. The central tenets of stoicism are that the world is full of unpredictable circumstances that are beyond our realm of control or influence. It teaches us the fragility of life and how quickly situations can change. Stoicism isn't about being devoid of emotions. It is about being steady, strong, and controlled in the face of circumstances that aren't in our control. Contrary to popular perception that stoicism is about being emotionless, it simply asks a person to not let their emotions enslave them. Stoic philosophy is about not letting your emotions ride rational thought. It is about controlling passionate reactions in the face of adversity. According to stoicism, the fundamental cause of our discontentment is our impulsive reliance on reflexive reactions than logic. When we let emotional or passionate reactions rule out rational thinking, we pave the way for greater adversity. Unlike other more complicated and theoretical philosophies and modern "feel good" pop psychology approaches, stoicism guides us in overcoming damaging emotions. As opposed to popular beliefs about stoic philosophy, it is an actionable philosophy that can be effortlessly applied in everyday living. That is what this book is all about. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Marc Pantazis) Fri, 07 Jul 2017 20:02:48 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Stoicism-Audiobook/B073QZNXGP thebookvoice.com 01:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/589/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Worth the $2 I paid for it. LOTS of typos! Unbelievable number of typo's, but I still enjoyed the book quite a bit and got a lot out of it. Mostly it was a useful reminder of how to effectively, philosophically approach life in many ways. Many things I already knew but sometimes I forget and drift back into old patterns, so it's good to get a reminder. Highly Recommended The book gives a perfect introduction to Stoicism and how to make Stoicism work for maximum benefit. If you are a serious student of modern stoicism, then this book isn't just to be read, but to be studied. It is necessarily difficult. I can a sure you that you will enjoy this book! Stoicism its something that I sways wanted to know more about and now finally thanks to this books I have obtained the knowledge. Fantastic Book. Fantastic Book. Various strong tips. Stoicism is a branch of Hellenistic hypothesis built up by Zeno if Cilium in Athens in the third century BC. Best book for Stoicism.

Members Reviews: poignant, deep, well written The essays collected in "Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Mahler's Ninth Symphony" should probably by on the mandatory reading list in college (regardless of the major). The author, Lewis Thomas, was a very successful physician scientist. He was not only a great scientist, but also an accomplished writer and an advisor in the President Carter's Science Advisory Committee. He writes clearly and to the point about matters of science, humanity and politics, expressing his concerns, sharing his thoughts based on substantial knowledge of the topics at hand. Not surprisingly, all the subjects turn out to be connected: scientific research impacts the decisions of the politicians and the everyday life of people all over the world. The book was first published in 1983, when the end of the Cold War was not yet in sight. In many of the essays Thomas writes about the dangers of developing nuclear weaponry and the fears connected with its potential use, appealing to the conscience of the readers (invoking Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and a book "The Unforgettable Fire"). The threat was real then. Is it any less real now? I think none of the essays in this volume has aged. The countries arming themselves may be different and the powers have shifted, but the fact that we are capable of the annihilation of our own species, due to directing our achievements in science and technology towards the wrong goal, remains true. Luckily, Thomas writes also about the positive aspects of scientific discoveries (for example, artificial organs - much has been done about it since, and he predicted many developments correctly) and about the undiscovered, interesting phenomena, which deserve attention (behavioral science, basic biological questions). Additionally, he devotes some essays to the problems of special interest to scientists: funding (government grants vs. private investments), scientific integrity, and connection between "hard" science and humanities. "Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Mahler's Ninth Symphony" is a thought-provoking, poignant collection of essays. It is a book one should come back to time and time again, as I will definitely do. What a pleasure It is simply a great pleasure to read the essays of Lewis Thomas. His intelligence, his balance, his sense of wonder, his great knowledge his humility and sense of human values , his masterly and often poetic writing ability make each of the essays an adventure of discovery and delight. In the opening essay he considers the horrifying consequences of nuclear war, and argues urgently that Mankind must cease being its own worse enemy, and threatening itself in a way no natural phenomenom could. In many of the other essays he argues for the centrality of the human, and the terrestial.
