Opiniones de los miembros: Super good Super good Book best book my grandma had ever read thank you very much love it Te mueve el Corazon a senderos maravillosos. Maravilloso, muy bien narrado y explicado, facil de entender y practico y por lo tanto facil de llevarlo a la practica. WOW Increible contenido! Would you listen to Metafisica 4 en 1 again? Why? Siempre lo escucho de nuevo, trae nueva perspectiva sobre como nosotros nos aferramos mucho a lo terrenal, sin darnos cuenta que la vida es solamente una etapa de la cual debemos de aprender lecciones. What was one of the most memorable moments of Metafisica 4 en 1? Los 3 libros que he leido son buenos!!!!! Lo unico es que son a veces un poco repetitivos entre unos y otros. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? si si Ud esta interesado en despertar a nuevas ideas! If you could sum up Metafisica 4 en 1 in three words, what would they be? Con una mente amplia y con vision espiritual expandida, Connie nos hace llegar a nuevos horizontes! What was one of the most memorable moments of Metafisica 4 en 1? Los decretos ayudan a comenzar el dia What does Isabel Varas bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Su modulada y pareja locucion hace que la "historia" fluya! Interesante Ni creo ni dejo de creer pero es realmente interesante aprender y escuchar nuevas ideas y formas de ser positivo en la vida. Sin duda un buen motivo para para poner buena cara al mal tiempo. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/All-the-World-Believes-a-Lie-Audiobook/B01I0ASC1A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dont like the reader The content is interesting but boy the readers are annoying. It kept changing readers in between and two of the reader have strong chinese accent. For audio book purpose, it is very hard to understand the accent unless you concentrate very hard. Superficial but ok Best as a basic introduction to some of the important thinkers. Dont look here for more than a cursory review Easy introduction to chines philosophy Grate book, easy narrative for such a complex topic, very well explained, absolutely recommended for all the people interested in east philosophy and even martial arts A decent enough overview. Gives the basic ideas, but nothing I've not read before in basic introductory guides. Comical and unnecessary Chinese accents for the quotes. Not bad for a less than 3 hour introduction, but not mind blowing! the pronounciation spoils the otherwise fantastic comprehensive, learned and accesssible - but dreadful pronounciation of the chinese names! i guess lynn redgrave is trying to fake a chinese accent, which he is quite successful at, but his pronounciation of the chinese names betrays his non-chinese origin, hence we are left with a narrator who speaks neither proper chinese nor proper english. a real shame given that the script is actually very good https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Sylvia-Brownes-Book-of-Angels-Audiobook/B002UZHYSY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Book of Angels I did not like this book as much as I have liked most of Sylvia's other work. I do love that Sylvia narrates it herself though, but I found the content dry and boring. I could not stay interested, it was like a listening to someone read a text book. Practical Information What did you love best about Sylvia Browne's Book of Angels? Loved the fireside chat and her wonderful sense of humor. What does Sylvia Browne bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Her personality, humor and matter of fact while she shared her knowledge and information in a pragmatic manner. Truly enjoyed this book. Lovely I think this is one of the best books on how powerful the Angels are. I would recommend it to anyone interested in Angels. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Everything-Voluntary-From-Politics-to-Parenting-Audiobook/B01BG3CPYI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Everything Voluntary: From Politics to Parenting Author: Skyler J. Collins, Chris R. Brown Narrator: Scott Larson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 02-08-16 Publisher: Listen and Think Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From the introduction: The mainstream political, education, and parenting philosophies all have one thing in common: promoting the domination of one group of people over another. In politics, this is the ruling class, i.e., politicians and bureaucrats, over the ruled. In education and parenting, this is teachers or parents over their children. Someone's interest prevails over someone else's, and in these arenas, violent solutions prevail over peaceful ones. The purpose of this book is to question the "virtues" of human relations based on violent coercion and to promote instead human relations based on mutual consent. For it is under one type or the other that human interaction in all arenas of life necessarily fall. From large-scale social organization and maintenance to the small-scale family unit, it is the position of this editor that peace and prosperity are most likely achieved through relations based on mutual consent. This book should prime the listener to develop an understanding and commitment to the political, social, and life philosophy called "voluntaryism". biacuaduc@gmail.com (Skyler J.

Members Reviews: Good Range of Topics I was already familiar with the Voluntaryist argument for anti-statism, freed-market economics, etc.--and this book certainly did them justice. However, the reason I picked it up was to read the essays on non-violent parenting and unschooling. I found it very compelling; and so, I highly recommend this book to anyone with, or thinking of having, kids. My only complaint is the formatting of the Kindle-edition, which seems to have been done too quickly, as a number of artifacts (like unneccessary hyphens) were not removed when it was converted from the print-edition. If we all lived everything voluntarily our lives would all be vastly better. And a better legacy for our children Everybody should read this book. If we all lived everything voluntarily our lives would all be vastly better. And a better legacy for our children. Five Stars Excellent reading. Everything Voluntary is an apt title. This book provides an excellent selection of essays covering a variety of topics. Recommended for both the person wanting to learn about voluntaryism and those wants to expand their knowledge. A wonderful primer on the voluntarist philosophy This the book to give to your friends who don't seem to understand the origins of agorist or anarchist thinking. Some classic authors, and some new unknowns, this book covers the whole spectrum. Well done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Trial-and-Death-of-Socrates-Audiobook/B003L73YHU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I loved the Apology, and the first 2/3 of Phaedo and I enjoyed the rest (Euthyphro, Crito, and end of Phaedo). I loved coming across phrases and quotes that I've heard again and again: "The unexamined life is not worth living... is there not one true coin, for which all things ought to exchange?--and that is wisdom... As for me, all I know is that I know nothing..." Amen. Understandable This was the most understandable means of absorbing Plato's dialogues that I have encountered. The reader is very good at playing Socrates as the lovable curmudgeon. The only thing that could have improved this was to have other actors play the other parts. I was sometimes confused as to who was speaking. In summary it was more like listening to a conversation than reading a dry book on philosophy. Excellent narration of a difficult genre Would you listen to The Trial and Death of Socrates again? Why? This is a genre that Plato has almost entirely to himself. It's not quite drama, not quite short story, and not quite nonfiction. I wasn't sure how it would work on audio, but Dick Hill did an amazing job bringing these classics to life. Socrates Makes my Head Hurt! Would you listen to The Trial and Death of Socrates again? Why? Yes, I have listened to this book several times. Dick Hill's enactment of Socrates engages the listener and holds the attention. What other book might you compare The Trial and Death of Socrates to and why? no comparison What about Dick Hills performance did you like? Dick Hill makes Socrates' character very believable. I can picture standing before the forum presenting his case. Socrates as philosopher Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. To understand Socrates and understand about how his philosophy relates to how we live today. What did you like best about this story? Socrates philosophy.

Members Reviews: This book doesn't work for me This book seems to be an A-Z of topics covered in one or several paragraphs extracted from various BR publications. As a result, each item is without a context and there is no additional explanation. I therefore found it difficult to learn much from. It is read in the style of a shipping forecast, which is probably a symptom of how the book is constructed, but compounds the dissatisfaction experienced during my listening to it. I guess I expected insights into BR's wisdom, rather than a large number of brief, out of context extracts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Once-and-Future-Myths-Audiobook/B00CDVXKLK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Once and Future Myths Author: Phil Cousineau Narrator: Phil Cousineau Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs Language: English Release date: 04-17-13 Publisher: Phoenix Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This book of mythology for the 21st Century is Phil Cousineau's grand opus - his masterwork, in which he gleans from the world's body of myth a stirring vision that offers the potential for "a deep experience of life". The hallmark of myth is a sense of timelessness. The story rings true not only now but through time, and people experiencing myth feel that they are living something larger than themselves. This timelessness is evident in Cousineau's discussions of the mythology of travel, mentors, cities, baseball, and creatures of the night, such as vampires. Once and Future Myths is a fascinating listen and an original contribution to what we know about the power of myth. Phil Cousineau has been called the Joseph Campbell for the new millennium. Critic Reviews: "Fascinating reading." (Library Journal) "A fascinating introduction to the power of myth."

The C.D.C Reeve translation published by Hackett is much better, complete with extensive notes, background, literary references, and a great bibliography. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Enhancing-Human-Capacities-Audiobook/B00CDQ83J4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The audiobook covers all major forms of human enhancement: cognitive, mood, physical, moral and life extension, as well as general conceptual and moral questions about enhancement. Enhancing Human Capacities includes state of the art reviews of the science of enhancement from different perspectives, ethical discussion of key concepts and questions, and concrete policy applications.

Title: Enhancing Human Capacities Author: Julian Savulescu, Ruud ter Meulen Narrator: Gregory Gorton Format: Unabridged Length: 25 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Human enhancement is one of the most exciting - and troubling - areas of recent scientific advance. It raises new and profound challenges relating to the human condition as well as giving rise to serious questions surrounding the limits and ethics of changing human nature. This stimulating volume is the first to review the very latest scientific developments in human enhancement. It is unique in its examination of the ethical and policy implications of these technologies from a broad range of perspectives, including philosophy, the biological and neurosciences, and the social sciences. The audiobook covers all major forms of human enhancement: cognitive, mood, physical, moral and life extension, as well as general conceptual and moral questions about enhancement. Enhancing Human Capacities includes state of the art reviews of the science of enhancement from different perspectives, ethical discussion of key concepts and questions, and concrete policy applications.

Title: On Romantic Love Subtitle: Simple Truths About a Complex Emotion Author: Berit Brogaard Narrator: David Ledoux Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Romantic love presents some of life's most challenging questions. Can we choose who to love? Is romantic love rational? Can we love more than one person at a time? And can we make ourselves fall out of love? In On Romantic Love, Berit Brogaard attempts to get to the bottom of love's many contradictions. This short book, informed by both historical and cutting-edge philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, combines a new theory of romantic love with entertaining anecdotes from real life and accessible explanations of the neuroscience underlying our wildest passions. Against the grain, Brogaard argues that love is an emotion; that it can be, at turns, both rational and irrational; and that it can be manifested in degrees. We can love one person more than another, and we can love a person a little or a lot or not at all. And love isn't even always something we consciously feel. However, love - like other emotions, both conscious and not - is subject to rational control, and falling in or out of it can be a deliberate choice. This engaging and innovative look at a universal topic illuminates the processes behind heartbreak, obsession, jealousy, attachment, and more. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Berit Brogaard) Tue, 24 Feb 2015 20:00:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/On-Romantic-Love-Audiobook/B00TRTS5LQ thebookvoice.com 09:03:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Inhanced my love of cycling Thanks for giving insight on varieties of the cycling experience I might otherwise never have known and thoughts to think about along the way! This book has inspired me to ride my bike across North Carolina. Cycling: Philosophy for Everyone If you could sum up Cycling in three words, what would they be? Not only for gear heads. Any additional comments? This book goes a long way in explaining why we ride bikes and can be so addicted to the activity. libro de experiencias excelente la forma en que se narran las experiencias de los ciclistas. y todas apuntando a tener una vida mejor. muy recomendable si eres amante del ciclismo. Mentally engaging. A great book. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Excellent. What about the narrators performance did you like? Great narration. Any additional comments? Too much doping chatter and Lance worship. I skipped the Lance chapters...I get it, you met him and love him. These chapters could have been more philosophical rather than more smoke blown up Lance's ass. This book makes me want to stop cycling. I was sold on this book by the preview, where cycling quotes were read. That was the best part of this book. It was so frustrating to listen to this that I couldn't make it through 3 chapters. Really disappointing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Would-You-Eat-Your-Cat-Audiobook/B00CS96M9E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Should You? - Probably This short book offers up 25 dilemmas in five differing categories. The author seeks to help you see both sides of the argument by pointing out those arguments that float and those that sink in the philosophical cesspool. By offering a moral barometer and characterizations like 'if you agree with x then you are mostly likely are a kind of y' he attempts to herd the listener into their ethical position. As with most philosophers, the author offers simple mind experiments luring you into a snap answers, then he makes it a tinsy more complex, twists it just so, does a bait and switch and before you know it you are agreeing that a villain should end the world or suicide is okay. The organization of the book is problematic for listeners. He first poses each question, one after another, without fluff which loads you with all of these questions, then in part two he deconstructs each one of the 25. For someone listening who does not have a pen and paper while driving down the highway considering whether a 'train conductor should kill one person, five or 500 if the one person is your mother' I found it a touch too overwhelming. You should listen to this book in a place where you can write and jot some notes. What's is good: it is brief and to the point. Not so good: as usual philosophers don't seem to see grey, its just this evil, that evil and more evil disguised as evil. Give it a listen, at least you will conclude whether you'll think Buffy is tasty. Good not great The book presents scenarios, asks the reader to make a decision, and makes brief philosophical arguments for each side citing relevant philosophical theories. I found the arguments shallow and often had other reasons to come to my decision based on sociology and psychology that were not touched on. Good listen The book was good, but the author outlines all of the scenarios at the beginning and then goes back in the second part to explain them without refreshing the actual scenario. It forces you to really remember what was said. Probably best to listen if you have a full 3 hours to do the whole thing at once. Otherwise very interesting thought experiments THIS is how I like my ethics (with a side of cat) I never imagined ethics could be so much fun. (OK, full disclosure, I'm an ethics dweeb, but ---). This appeals to the (better nature of the) 19-year-old boy inside me, but make no mistake: it's wild but serious and SMART. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Dynamic-Pluralism-Audiobook/B01N5OI9H6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Dynamic Pluralism Subtitle: A Revolution in Ethics Author: Ken La Salle Narrator: Ken La Salle Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs Language: English Release date: 01-12-17 Publisher: Ken La Salle Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In the history of philosophy, there have been many theories about ethics but none have been straightforward enough to understand and use in everyday life. That ends now with Dynamic Pluralism. Dynamic Pluralism presents a system of ethics that is not only easy to understand and easy to use but beneficial to the lives of those who do so. Dynamic Pluralism filters out the philosophical jargon so popular in academic circles and structures ethics so it is accessible to everyone. Not only does it present an understandable system of ethics but it also shows the listener how they can use ethics to create a better world. Dynamic Pluralism casts a clear and defining light on the challenges of our century - war, overpopulation, climate change, energy dependence, equality, and much more - and illuminates our path into a brighter future. We live in a world without a working system of ethics available to all people and this explains how and why the United States ended up with Trump, a man bereft of ethical clarity, a moral compass, or any sense of justice. Dynamic Pluralism defines ethics, morals, and justice so that we may all understand them, what happens when we live without them, and how they should be used to create a better world.

Ive read and listened to a number of philosophical works. Its a bit of a passion for me. And yet, I found this one really difficult to digest. It is arranged exactly as Spinoza intended as a series of geometry-style proofs to describe the nature of God, existence, and the relation between the two. Or the one, as Spinoza asserts in the text, claiming that all of the manifestations in existence are just modes of the singular substance of God. It is a unique perspective, and one that stands apart from other philosophical views, both during Spinozas time and in the centuries that follow. For this reason above any other, Spinozas Ethics is worth a thorough examination. If you can give it the time and focus it requires, then it will offer a fascinating new way of looking at the world. Spinoza structures the text in five parts, looking at the nature of God, the qualities of human beings, motivation, emotion, and free will. Each of the sections begins with a list of definitions. Spinoza reviews the terms specific to the section, defining them in unique ways. At first I glossed over this section, but once I began looking at the later bits, the axioms and propositions, I realized that I had to go back and explore what Spinoza meant by his terms. Words like substance and mode, for example, are used to define the nature of God and various aspects of the manifest world. The definitions are, in the next section, put together in the form of axioms, statements taken as necessary truths. Some of them are pretty obvious like, All bodies are either in motion or at rest. Kind of covers all the bases. The ones that are obviously true are also the least valuable, because they are pretty much common sense. Others take a bit of wading through in order to extract sense, like Modes of thinking, such as love, desire, or any other of the passions, do not take place unless there be in the same individual an idea of the thing loved, desired, and etc. But the idea can exist without any other mode of thinking. There, Spinoza is essentially saying that feelings and motivations dont arise out of context. They must be inspired by a specific cause, a person, thing, or idea. This may be true, but Im really not so certain about it. Desire may require a focus, a something that we desire. But can happiness come in for no specific reason? After the axiom sections, Spinoza moves into postulates and propositions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Philosophy-and-the-Law-Audiobook/B002V8MIX6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The material is really dense, but he does a good job breaking it down for the listener and giving illustrative examples. This helps the listener to understand better. Ahh, Ahh This guy sounds very unintelligent, I can't get past all the times he says ahh...ahh. After every other word. It was annoying. I thought that I was getting some real information about the subject, but I found it very hard to listen to. I'm just glad I didn't spend my money for it. I used a credit to pay for it. It was rather expensive. I was unimpressed, the delivery was unscripted and the narrator did not speak well. Some of the information was useful, but the way the narrator delivered the speech seemed way too unintelligent. He kind of rambles on and switches from different subjects and leads you nowhere. I do not recommend this audio book. If it were reiterated with structured in a way that would be interesting and confident I would recommend it. This audio book needs a read over. That would give it more credibility. Just a Philosophy of Law book. Good but not an exceptional book. You get the same topics that you will have at College of Law, no less no more. Different than a book on how judges reason when devise a verdict. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Moral-Revolution-in-Atlas-Shrugged-Audiobook/B01H0VDCWY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: the greatest tribute one can offer to a thinker whom one ... This essay first was published in 1962 as a chapter in the book, "Who is Ayn Rand?" by Nathaniel Branden and Barbara Branden. Subtitled, "An Analysis of the Novels by Ayn Rand," the book title was a play upon the opening line in Ayn Rand's novel, "Atlas Shrugged"(1957)."Who is John Galt?,"and was meant to present an overall picture of the author (it contained a short biographical sketch by Barbara Branden), the significance of the novel and its presentation of Rand's revolutionary philosophy, Objectivism. Nathaniel Branden many years' later, stated in his introductory comment on this essay, "I have allowed this essay to be republished as originally written because Ayn Rand thought so highly of it as an introduction to her moral philosophy ..." ... and "a commentary on the historical and cultural significance of her ethics and the view of man which her ethics holds as a moral ideal" (from the preface). Particularly striking, is his discussion, (only five years after the novel was published), of the largely hysterical and vituperative reaction of many reviewers (both Left and Right) toward Atlas Shrugged. Yet 57 years' later, having failed to quash the interest of the public in her philosophy, we find her opponents still unable to change tact and grapple with what she really said.., An excerpt: "Ayn Rand's antagonists have unfailingly elected to pay her what is, perhaps, the greatest tribute one can offer to a thinker whom one opposes: they have all felt obliged to misrepresent her ideas in order to attack them. No one has dared publicly to name the essential ideas of Atlas Shrugged and to attempt to refute them. No one has been willing to declare: "Ayn Rand holds that man must choose his values and actions exclusively by reason, that man has the right to exist for his own sake, that no one has the right to seek values from others by physical force -- and I consider such ideas wrong, evil, and socially dangerous." When one considers the careful precision with which Ayn Rand defines her terms and presents her ideas and the painstaking manner in which each concept is concretized and illustrated -- one will search in vain for a non-psychiatric explanation of the way in which her philosophy has been reported by antagonists. Allegedly describing her concept of rational self-interest, they report that Ayn Rand extols disregard for the rights of others, brutality, rapacity, doing whatever one feels like doing and general animal self-indulgence. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Wisdom-of-Omar-Khayyam-Audiobook/B00BHIBAN0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Anyway, just having these old quatrains in English is a treat for a Persian affectionado--must dcrive scholars a little crazy, though... Many of these quatrains are worthwhile, who the author was. Interesting A little hard to understand, but beautiful prose anyway. This dude really likes his wine. Like a lot. I can relate to his philosophies on religion and living life freely. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Zentiva-A-Philosophae-of-Cannabis-Audiobook/B0792JF42G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And like its species cousin, hemp, cannabis is a plant that has been at the center of civilization for thousands of years and only since the past century given way to crime, corruption, corporate greed, and unjust state law.

For the most part it was well written, but the author needed to intertwine cannabis, and Buddhism a little bit more.

Members Reviews: An antidote against American ignorance Evidence like this must start a wildfire of action and a new thinking paradigm if we are to survive, much less find harmony between different social groups. You'll get very direct facts here to teach you to question and judge for yourself, unlike most history classes, social science classes, and media that would have you indoctrinated with ignorance. Narration is so off for this book Overall a good book. Not my favorite Chomsky but still very insightful and eye-opening. But the narration!! This was the wrong reader for this book all the way. This guy probably would have done well with reading a spy novel or something but not non-fiction. I found it so bothersome I had to pause listening multiple times. If you're interested, I'd buy the book. Well documented and very thoughtful The texts are concise and well written. There is a bit of repetition though and no one topic is analysed in depth due to the fact that the book is mainly a series of commentaries sent to the media. This book is just Jew hatred, I want my money back Horrible book, author hates Jews, America, democracy etc. I wouldn't use this book to level a table! Voice that needs to be heard As an audiobook, I enjoyed 'Understanding Power' far much more than this, but, it's still a great collection of his recent writing.

Title: Kant: Philosophy in an Hour Author: Paul Strathern Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-13 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4 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 Kant in just one hour. Immanuel Kant taught and wrote prolifically about physical geography yet never travelled farther than 40 miles from his home in Königsberg. Appropriately, his philosophy strenuously denies that all knowledge is derived from experience, insisting instead that all experience must conform to knowledge. Kants aim was to restore metaphysics. According to Kant, space and time are subjective; along with various categories, they help us to see the phenomena of the world - though never in its true reality. This audiobook is an expert account of Kants life and philosophical ideas - entertainingly written and is above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Kants work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Kant 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...I cannot think of a better way to introduce oneself and one's friends to Western civilization. (Boston Globe) A godsend in this era of the short attention span.

The Magic Monastery is stated to be (title page) âAnalogical and Action Philosophy of the Middle East and Central Asia.â. I presume this means a fusion of correspondence and conduct, but I may be wrong. The publishers describe it as a course in non-linear thinking. Perhaps a recent, very interesting review of Shahâs writings by John Zada, (Los Angeles Review of Books and ISFoundation website, blog) sheds more light where he refers to an intention to sharpen perception, to coax into operation a nascent organ of intuition, to help people think more flexibly. These tales can seem, at the same time, both obvious and obscure. Yet, that is some of the magic. It distinguishes this book and its treatment from the usual religious/mystical debris. Similar to Tales of the Dervishes I like this book a lot. It's the same type of book as Shah's Tales of The Dervishes. It's a lot of short stories that have several layers of meaning. Five Stars Another great book from Shah, most insightful author I have ever read on the human situation. What could be written?.. by a biased, narrow minded reader who loves Idries Shah's writings... And nine more words are coming along for volume ;) Great book that I am enjoying thus far I got this book on kindle and was able to instantly access it with no issues quick and painless.

Members Reviews: A wonderful summary - concise and interesting. Would you listen to Plato in 90 Minutes again? Why? Yes - I plan to. I want to remember it. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? The historical importance and its impact on the present. What about Robert Whitfields performance did you like? Clear and interesting. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Any additional comments? I plan to listen to all historical biographys produced by this company. In 90 Minutes Series overview If you could sum up Plato in 90 Minutes in three words, what would they be? aka Cliff Notes Would you recommend Plato 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/Erkenne-die-Welt-Antike-und-Mittelalter-Eine-Geschichte-der-Philosophie-1-Audiobook/B015N7GMCO Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titel: Erkenne die Welt: Antike und Mittelalter (Eine Geschichte der Philosophie 1) Autor:: Richard David Precht Erzähler: Christian Baumann, Richard David Precht Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 18 hrs and 39 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 10-12-15 Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Im ersten Teil seiner auf drei Bände angelegten Geschichte der Philosophie beschreibt Richard David Precht die Entwicklung des abendländischen Denkens von der Antike bis zum Mittelalter.

First published in 1956, it is his last complete work of fiction. Set in Amsterdam, The Fall consists of a series of dramatic monologues by the self-proclaimed "judge-penitent" Jean-Baptiste Clamence, as he reflects upon his life to a stranger. In what amounts to a confession, Clamence tells of his success as a wealthy Parisian defense lawyer who was highly respected by his colleagues; his crisis, and his ultimate "fall" from grace, was meant to invoke, in secular terms, "The Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden". The Fall explores themes of innocence, imprisonment, non-existence and truth.

Title: Political Philosophy: An audio course on Western Political Theory Author: Grahame Lock Narrator: Grahame Lock Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 04-22-16 Publisher: Home Academy Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This audio course examines the major periods in the history of Western political thought and questions the political and social order. It considers the ways in which thinkers have responded to the particular political problems of their day, and the ways in which they contribute to a broader conversation about human goods and needs, justice, democracy, and the proper relationship of the individual to the state. Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas: It has been said that all philosophy is a footnote to Plato. Ludwig Wittgenstein asked why was Plato so very clever? Or is there another reason for the immense influence of the classical world on all subsequent European thought? What is the effect, in this connection, of St Augustine's new, Christian doctrine of politics as a necessary evil? Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau: Machiavelli the Florentine is a provocateur of Realreal politik, who argues for the subordination of Christian morality to the effective if unwritten rules of the political game. Thomas Hobbes takes yet another step toward pure realism: man, he says, wants only to survive, to minimiseminimize pain and maximisemaximize pleasure. Tocqueville, Marx, Freud, the Present Day: Alexis de Tocqueville visited America in the 19th century and was shocked by its democratic tendencies, which he thought would destroy civilization-as-we-know it - and yet were unstoppable. Marx produced his well-known account of the rise and coming fall of the capitalist class: not so much a moral condemnation as a historical forecast. Was he right? Finally, we look at present-day currents in political philosophy. Are there any new ideas in the world?

Tocqueville, Marx, Freud, the Present Day: Alexis de Tocqueville visited America in the 19th century and was shocked by its democratic tendencies, which he thought would destroy civilization-as-we-know it - and yet were unstoppable. Marx produced his well-known account of the rise and coming fall of the capitalist class: not so much a moral condemnation as a historical forecast. Was he right? Finally, we look at present-day currents in political philosophy. Are there any new ideas in the world?

Members Reviews: Great Source of Information and Engaging Lecturer What made the experience of listening to The Modern Scholar: Celts and Germans the most enjoyable? The lecturer is both incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about the subject and an entertaining storyteller! He integrates archaeological findings with historical and textual material to give a robust, well supported perspective of the origins and evolution of the Celtic and Germanic cultures in Europe. What other book might you compare The Modern Scholar: Celts and Germans to and why? This compares well to Europe: A History by Norman Davies in that it's enjoyable while being informative, but doesn't make unsupported or reaching interpretations of its subject. What does uncredited bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Again, the storytelling done by the lecturer is engaging and entertaining. He brings to life and gives great personality to the Eddas that would be impossible to recreate in text form. Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? The role of the underlying belief systems - Germanic being a grim reality and Celtic being one of transformation and reincarnation - in the tenor and character of their cultures. Any additional comments? I love that the lecturer presents his view, the evidence supporting his view and then makes qualifying statements that make it clear to the listener any limitations to the view. I respect the lecturer immensely for this! Sometimes Good sometimes not so good Is there anything you would change about this book? Definitely the narrator, change chapter 7. How did the narrator detract from the book? Voice was not conducive to listening even irritating at times Do you think The Modern Scholar: Celts and Germans needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Yes. Change narrators, the presentation, Any additional comments? It appeared to me whoever prepared the lectures knew the subject matter for the most part. However there were times it was simply disjointed or the narrator would drone on with lists of names as if reading from a shopping list. Chapter 7 was an absolute bore by comparison to the Great Courses lecture " King Arthur: History and Legend" by Prof Dorsey Armstrong.This lecture and presentation may be ok for high school students but it lacks a bit for adult or college students and learners.My overall rating of 3 stars was because the course has interesting parts but it just as easily could have been 2 stars. It was a flip of the coin and 3 stars won. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Schopenhauer-in-90-Minutes-Audiobook/B002UZKN8C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The New York Times) Members Reviews: In 90 Minutes Series overview If you could sum up Schopenhauer in 90 Minutes in three words, what would they be? aka Cliff Notes Would you recommend Schopenhauer 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/Ethics-Audiobook/B06XWZSZXY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Everyone wants to know what the ultimate nature of the world is, what the self is, whether we have free will, how our minds relate to our bodies, whether we can really know anything, where ethical truth comes from, what the meaning of life is, and whether or not there is a God. "This inner philosopher is related to the inner child, since the child too is prone to asking philosophical questions. But it is much better to have a disciplined guide through philosophy than simply to try to do all the thinking by yourself. "I will be acting as your guide. I will cover all the main problems of philosophy, from logic to ethics, from the human mind to God, introducing you to how philosophers think and the theories they have come up with.

I've read many books about many subjects in philosophy and one thing that usually made me give up on them was the fact that most of them are books of history of philosophy. This book was exactly what I was looking for, it tackles the questions themselves and the history, names and quotes are only there to provide the references. It's very well written and narrated, I never had trouble understanding it and I don't even speak English natively, it's never dull, the concepts flow very well and I learned a lot from it. Mind Boggling and FUN! "Fun" is the last word I would have used to describe philosophy had I'd been asked a few months ago. Other adjectives such as "boring," and "unpractical" seemed to fit the matter, or in the very least "I don't pay attention to that stuff." As McGinn says in the introduction, everyone has an inner-philosopher, and in this relatively short book, he introduces the topics we've all asked yourselves at some point in a thoughtful and illustrative manner. I've enjoyed bringing up the experimental questions from this book with my friends and family, and having fun, meaningful discussions about all the things we've always wondered about. Is there a God? What is the meaning of life? What makes something right or wrong? Do we have free-will? I wish I had been introduced to philosophy a long time ago, and "The Modern Scholar: Discovering the Philosopher in You" was an incredibly easy way to familiarize myself with the main topics that philosophers have been discussing for thousands of years... questions I've even asked myself without realizing how closely related it was to philosophy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Macat-Analysis-of-Tverskys-Judgment-Under-Uncertainty-Audiobook/B01J6J1SPG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Published in 1974 in the journal Science, the article Judgment Under Uncertainty had a profound impact across the social sciences. Two relatively young Israeli psychologists were challenging the leading ideas about human thought. For decades, social scientists had used a mythical figure to describe how humans make decisions: homo economicus. Homo economicus was logical and conscientious. To make a decision, he would evaluate all the options open to him, before choosing the course of action calculated to be to his best advantage. While several thinkers had pointed out that this character wasn't representative of real human behavior, no one had come up with a better model to explain how humans make decisions. Then along came Tversky and Kahneman. In Judgment Under Uncertainty, they explained how the brain processes information at a subconscious level, profoundly affecting our decision-making without us even being aware of it. Their findings transformed the way we think about decision-making today. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dr. Camille Morvan) Thu, 28 Jul 2016 18:57:43 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Macat-Analysis-of-Tverskys-Judgment-Under-Uncertainty-Audiobook/B01J6J1SPG thebookvoice.com 01:40:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

My first venture into political philosophy. A great introduction on the various schools of thought. A short summary would be the gov't that does the least intervention is more likely to succeed. Well written summary Newcomers to political philosophy will find this book a good introduction to some of the fundamental arguments in the area. Others will find that it clarifies old familiar arguments in a fresh new way. Either way, I recommend it highly. Very easy to read and extremely well written Very easy to read and extremely well written, I didn't think I would have time to read the entire thing in one day but for the first time in a while, I found it hard to stop reading! As I mentioned to one of the reviewers below, it is a fairly well-balanced book in terms of presenting various arguments on major issues, but the author himself is libertarian and presents these views along with arguments that oppose those views. The only thing is that I wish the author had mentioned the natural rights viewpoints on some of the topics, but regardless, it is an excellent book! Excellent Short Introduction to Political Philosophy A clear, helpful and concise guide with plenty of notes for those who want to go further in the topic - highly recommended A good read A good Overview of Philosophical arguments that most People never think of.

Title: Letter on Corpulence Subtitle: Addressed to the Public Author: William Banting Narrator: Adam B. Crafter Format: Unabridged Length: 57 mins Language: English Release date: 10-09-15 Publisher: Spoken Realms Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Within the last few decades, several obesity-reducing low carbohydrate diets have come to the public's attention. What few realize is that these are all the grandchildren in thought to William Banting, an undertaker who, in 1864, wrote one short book that launched the first incredibly popular diet for obesity. Banting was immortalized by having his name enter the English language as a verb. Three examples include an Irishman, Captain Boycott, whose name entered the language in the 1860s. Another was Louis Pasteur, and the third was William Banting, a man who came to have a great impact on many peoples' lives and waistlines.... To this day, to bant (as a verb), or to engage in "banting" is built into the language in many countries, including the UK, South Africa, and Sweden. It can be hard to see where one is going without a sense of context of history, and this applies to dietary advice as it does with all matters. Listen to the original pamphlet that started it all, and hear Banting's takes on corpulence and obesity, some early history of fat shaming, why he was in favor of before and after pictures, and his altercations with the medical authorities of the 1860s. biacuaduc@gmail.com (William Banting) Fri, 09 Oct 2015 01:47:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Letter-on-Corpulence-Audiobook/B016C1KKLO thebookvoice.com 00:57:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Cool I like it "I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com A glimpse into another time What did you love best about Letter on Corpulence? This is not just a diet book, it is a historical gem. It was not that long ago that legitimate doctors treated intestinal problems by "washing out my ears, and scorching them". Banting changed his life by changing his diet, something highly frowned upon then - and he was a brave man to want to share his discovery with the world, and to make the effort to do so. What about Adam B. Crafters performance did you like? For me, possibly the best part of this audio book was Mr. Crafter's performance. I have a copy of the tract, and have read it many times, but Mr. Crafters elegant diction and pleasant voice brought a depth to it I had not found before. It is especially noticeable when Banting describes things that would be common in his era, but aren't generally known now: I would normally skim over descriptions of things like "Rusk" , but this reading made me curious enough to look it up. I only wish Banting had mentioned what was in his "morning elixir"! Well done, Mr. Crafter. Any additional comments? All in all, this is a moment in time, captured beautifully and fully. Things like this are too often lost... I'm glad this one wasn't. Benefits of Low Carb One man's fight against obesity, told in such a way that I want to go try it right now. A good story read in a compelling voice. I will listen again. A Window on Correspondence through Time If you could sum up Letter on Corpulence in three words, what would they be? Eloquent Diet Record What was one of the most memorable moments of Letter on Corpulence? The descriptions of Banting's diet and the surprising luxury of low-carb eating stands out equally with his frustration at being unable to find a working way to regain his health through weight loss. From a foodie perspective, the observations of regular eating across time is enlightening as much as enticing, a reminder of the functional and enjoyable nature of low-carb eating.

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: thick but satisfying It's always refreshing to hear an author trash the argument that "everyone's morality is equally valid". At the same time being told it might be all the tiny "leaving things better than we found them" that could be a cornerstone of morality, is very interesting. The author also says morality only existing in our intellect is a fantasy of some intellectuals. The author relies on the argument that our moral sense, our better nature as it were, must exist below training and intellect and reinforcement, because if it didn't, we'd all be dead long ago. What is more gripping is the stories of individuals who defied fascist or morally bankrupt societies, and did so as much out as pure emotions like anger as higher leanings. The characters of such moral quandries become more human instead of walking polemics. Another point the author makes is that moral action (against the banality of evil) is often bolstered by consistent parenting where there was mutual respect, also very interesting. When the author makes higher moral action connect to basic emotion and motivation coming from sources within the society that's corrupt, that's when the book clicks. very interesting, too long for audio format it's a very important subject and the author presents lots of perspectives on the issue; it's just hard to follow the detail just listening Disappointing Is there anything you would change about this book? I've read some of Wilson's works, especailly reltated to politics, and have been impressed. I thought this book would take a global view and offer insights into large issues of today. Instead it discusses child development in various cultures. While the examples may be interesting, from an anthropological perspective, I would have liked to see some explicit connection about how adults make decisions. It never brings it into a larger (mature) context of how we act under various situations. I had a hard time understanding the reader. Her voice reminds me of a victorian school marm with an upper-crust English accent. After a while it sounded like chalk acratching on a board.I particuarly didn't like the use of the personal pronoun (as in "I") since Wilson is a man. Would you ever listen to anything by James Q. Wilson again? Likely, but I will carefully pay attention to the synopsis. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Metaphysics-of-Morals-Audiobook/B075RC5TK4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Everyone should read and understand the introduction Korsgaard semi-clunkily explains Kant, and gets it right! Fantastic read. I read this in my Ethical Theory class at Stanford and learned a lot about Kantianism. Brilliant translation that gets his point across Brilliant translation that gets his point across Not an easy read A bit difficult to read due to the vernacular if the era. Recommend it for those who truly want a challenge. great introduction, expensive version This version of the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals provides a clear and concise introduction. You will find it useful to understand how Kant's moral philosophy fits within his general philosophy and to get acquainted with some of the debates around his work. Although this book is rather expensive for what it is, it is useful and worth buying if you are really interested in this topic. Read this!!! The introduction is long and wonderful. It is a requirement before reading Kant's text.

Members Reviews: the truth about the united nations! What made the experience of listening to International Law the most enjoyable? its honesty, its rigor, the fact that it is true. What was one of the most memorable moments of International Law? the discussion of stalin's government Which scene was your favorite? i like the science fictions parts Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? it was witty. Any additional comments? a great introduction to a complex subject. this book will ruffle the feathers of a lot of bureaucrats, however. cogent and beautiful What did you love best about International Law? It was analytical and yet narrative, like a novel and a treatise rolled into one. i have never encountered anything like this, but now that I have, I'm wondering why other authors don't do it. Who was your favorite character and why? It was non-fiction; so there was only one 'character.' Which scene was your favorite? The discussion of infelicitous utterances. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Almost, but I like to stop every 20 minutes or so to consider what I've heard. Also, some parts of it are like poetry, and I like to listen to them over and over. Any additional comments? This guy is brilliant. But his book covers are alienating. philosophy not law, but very good Would you consider the audio edition of International Law to be better than the print version? yes, when i heard it, its lyricism was more impactful than when read What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? the combination of narrative and analytical elements What about Mark Symmss performance did you like? clear and unobtrusively folksy Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? it was very, very erudite. its ease and clarity was refreshing Any additional comments? kuczynski is better than russell one of Kuczynski's better ones Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? yes, because it was so forthright, and there was some semi-amusing semi-fictitious parts What did you like best about this story? the way the author used stories to make philosophical points interesting and clear Which scene was your favorite? the discussion of stalin If you could give International Law a new subtitle, what would it be? ethics for the real world Any additional comments? lovely book, better than hedonism by the same author, which was not so good not disappointed but... Would you listen to International Law again? Why? already listened to it five times What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? it was narrative but illustrated very technical points in a delightfully inventive way Have you listened to any of Mark Symmss other performances before? How does this one compare? first performance of his If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? international law: the untold story Any additional comments? worth it, buy it https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Rational-Ritual-Audiobook/B00ZS9JL8A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Rational Ritual Subtitle: Culture, Coordination, and Common Knowledge Author: Michael Suk-Young Chwe Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Why do Internet, financial service, and beer commercials dominate Super Bowl advertising? How do political ceremonies establish authority? Why does repetition characterize anthems and ritual speech? Why were circular forms favored for public festivals during the French Revolution? This book answers these questions using a single concept: common knowledge. Game theory shows that in order to coordinate its actions, a group of people must form "common knowledge". Each person wants to participate only if others also participate. Members must have knowledge of each other, knowledge of that knowledge, knowledge of the knowledge of that knowledge, and so on. Michael Chwe applies this insight with striking erudition to analyze a range of rituals across history and cultures. He shows that public ceremonies are powerful not simply because they transmit meaning from a central source to each audience member but because they let audience members know what other members know. For instance people watching the Super Bowl know that many others are seeing precisely what they see and that those people know in turn that many others are also watching. This creates common knowledge, and advertisers selling products that depend on consensus are willing to pay large sums to gain access to it. Remarkably, a great variety of rituals and ceremonies, such as formal inaugurations, work in much the same way. By using a rational-choice argument to explain diverse cultural practices, Chwe argues for a close reciprocal relationship between the perspectives of rationality and culture. He illustrates how game theory can be applied to an unexpectedly broad spectrum of problems while showing in an admirably clear way what game theory might hold for scholars in the social sciences and humanities who are not yet acquainted with it. In a new afterword, Chwe delves into new applications of common knowledge both in the real world and in experiments and considers how generating common knowledge has become easier in the digital age. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Michael Suk-Young Chwe) Tue, 07 Jul 2015 21:16:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Rational-Ritual-Audiobook/B00ZS9JL8A thebookvoice.com 03:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: VISUALS? The book references illustrated visuals (graphs, charts etc) These aren't provided in the audiobook. This makes the narrative difficult to follow. Great info, Deathly boring narration. The information presented is good for those wanting to learn how to create common knowledge and culture within an organization. However, the narration sounds like it was read by a computerized voice, not a person. Confused story, horrible delivery The narrative is really confused. It looks like the author wanted to write a book about marketing but wanted a sexy title that has nothing to do with the core of the argument-which in itself is not very powerful. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Challenge-of-Things-Audiobook/B00YX752WM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Thought-provoking, bite-sized philosophy Accessible chunks of philosophical thought, as applied to the struggles and questions of the modern day. As someone relatively new to the subject, I found it engaging. The narrator, however, often quickened his speech to a speed not suited to absorbing more complex areas, which was rather frustrating. Pleasure and learning I'm glad I've listened to this book. I have learned things which everyone should know, and which I, for one, was very ignorant about. Especially the bit about China. The subjects I knew more about are approached in a very intellectually stimulating way. The narrator is impeccable. Audiobooks have been a revelation for me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Empirical-Stance-Audiobook/B00885NT3Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Empirical Stance Subtitle: The Terry Lectures Series Author: Bas C. van Fraassen Narrator: Thomas M. Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 06-04-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What is empiricism and what could it be? Bas C. van Fraassen, one of the world's foremost contributors to philosophical logic and the philosophy of science, here undertakes a fresh consideration of these questions and offers a program for renewal of the empiricist tradition. The empiricist tradition is not and could not be defined by common doctrines, but embodies a certain stance in philosophy, van Fraassen says. This stance is displayed first of all in a searing, recurrent critique of metaphysics, and second in a focus on experience that requires a voluntarist view of belief and opinion. Van Fraassen focuses on the philosophical problems of scientific and conceptual revolutions and on the not unrelated ruptures between religious and secular ways of seeing or conceiving of ourselves. He explores what it is to be or not be secular and points the way toward a new relationship between secularism and science within philosophy. Critic Reviews: "In The Empirical Stance, van Fraassen, the most influential empiricist of recent decades, combines a penetrating discussion of empiricism in science and philosophy with a sympathetic discussion of religion.... [An] eloquent examination of empiricism and religion." (Paul Thagard, Science) "This work argues powerfully for a radical redirection of much contemporary thinking in epistemology and other important topics. It should force all of us to rethink the nature of analytic philosophy."

Wide-ranging, original, clear-headed Any additional comments? Although the book is clearly written, exceptionally interesting, and the reader does a good job, it would be extremely difficult for someone without a strong background in the history and philosophy of science to follow much of it just by listening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Tears-and-Laughter-Audiobook/B00BMR80NY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I like it that he uses personal experiences, I hate it that he starts what looks like a great problem, then leaves the animal with the problem as he goes on to discuss what causes it without any closure on the poor animal. What happened to Dougal? Was there any help for him? I was left hanging and very frustrated that Dougal was even mentioned with him OCD problems. There are a lot of good information in this book, the little snippets of real experience is entertaining, but usually is left unsolved as it only helped to present the problem and a whole discussion of the whys and hows follows the introduction of the animal with a problem. I was hoping for more information on how to help them, not just what is causing their behavior. How our closest friends, sometimes, see the world around them. We all appear to be linked together: dogs, cats, human beings, from the behavioral impressions Dr Virga reflects through his entertaining writing about the animal patients he has seen and the consulation he has provided to zoos and wild life failities. What is really interesting is his recognition that a reason for living drives all forms of life to thrive. Hopelessness and dispair lead to deterioration and one's demise. Especially entertaining are the descriptions Dr. Virga provides of animals in a state of emoitional, maybe mental, distess and how he is successful in guiding them back to their normal selves. One of his patients would go into a rage attacking and destroying wooden objects but never direct this attack behavior toward its masters when they attempted to grab and hug it until it wore itself down. It recognized, even in the spirit of the rage, to direct its acivity toward an inanimate object that it did not love, like it did its master and mistress. This is worth reading--more imortantly, considering in reflection as we all seek a clearer understanding of our and our best friend animal's moods and privatel worldly outlooks. Not quite up to par As an animal lover, I'd hoped to find some new insights in this book. Not that it wasn't entertaining. It was, but I didn't learn anything I didn't already know. The thesis of this book is that animals and humans are not that different. Yeah, but why is that a surprise? We have feelings. So do animals. They are happy and sad and angry and gentle and pissed off and delighted and loved and lonely and all the other emotions that are part of the "human" condition. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Indian-Philosophy-Audiobook/B00GRATEMW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In this intriguing introduction to Indian philosophy, the diversity of Indian thought is emphasized. It is structured around six schools of thought that have received classic status. Sue Hamilton explores how the traditions have attempted to understand the nature of reality in terms of inner or spiritual quest and introduces distinctively Indian concepts, such as karma and rebirth. She also explains how Indian thinkers have understood issues of reality and knowledge - issues that are also an important part of the Western philosophical tradition. Editorial Reviews: The idea of distilling thousands of years of Indian philosophical thought into less than 200 pages may seem impossible, but British scholar Sue Hamilton does a superb job with her airtight and accessible introduction, which eloquently parses out the philosophy's tenets, frames it around the six darsanas, and illustrates its unique and inextricable link with Indian religion.

Members Reviews: Accessible and Stimulating This book covers in less than 5 hours almost all the interesting and important schools in Indian Ontology and Epistemology between the Vedic times and 11th Century. Starting from the Vedic speculations and the place of sacrifice in maintaining the cosmos and the distillation of Vedic thought in the Monism of the Upanishads, the book guides a reader with little background in Indian tradition through the debates between the Nyaya-Vaisheshika school of transcendental realism as well as the Buddhist exegesis on the two levels of reality and a very easy to follow discussion of the Nagarjuna's concept of emptiness. The book ends with a brief overview of Shankara's Advait Vedanta and Ramanuja's Vishishtadvaita Vedanta. Although Hamilton's point of view is what is considered relevant in Indian Philosophy from a Western point of view, she has accommodated the overreaching importance of Soteriology in all Indian philosophical positions discussed. Strongly recommended for any one interested in the foundations of Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. Sadly the Jain Metaphysics is neglected but that is understandable given that this is a Very Short Introduction. The narrator (Neil Shah) has done an excellent job. this was sadly irrelevant the reading with a strong origin story but this quickly dissolves into an arcana that's mostly glossed over. Very dry This was a relatively good summary of the different strands of thought in in Indian philosophy. However, it was incredibly dry. There wasn't much background in terms of social history or political events. It was really difficult understand why one might want to care about the book's contents. If you're interested in it introduction to Indian philosophy, I would suggest looking elsewhere. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Kant-in-90-Minutes-Audiobook/B002V5J33M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Kant lite Although the author gives a great account of the life of Kant, there is very little dicussion of his theories. This audio book is great for beginners wanting a sketch of this philosopher's state of mind and peculiar behavior, but not for those seeking clarity regarding his contribution to modern philosophy. A "Cut and Paste" Approach to Kant While the compact narrative of Kant's life was informative and conveyed in an engaging manner, the overall book was not helpful for gaining knowledge and insight into Kant's basic concepts of philosophy and ethics. Instead of analyzing or explaining Kant's seminal ideas, such as the categorical imperative, and putting those ideas in dialogue with other viewpoints or situating them within the context of the time, the recording too often quotes verbatim excerpts from Kant's various works. The result is a philosophical patchwork quilt without a consistent pattern. The second half of the recording is a "cut and paste" presentation of quotes and timetables. Despite a pleasant and resonant speaking voice, the narrator mispronounces the name of his subject so that he sounds like a contraction denoting inability instead of an eminent Prussian philosopher. I "Can't" recommend this disappointing audio book on Kant. An excellent first look at Kant This is one of Strathern's best attempts at distilling both the work and and life of a philosopher in a short space. (It is well worth listening to the entire series.) One wonders whether Strathern is sometimes too hung up on Freudian-style musings on the motivations of thinkers long dead, but in the end they can be fun if not taken too seriously. As usual, what can be gleaned in 90 minutes is only a start, and you will be disappointed if you expect these little books to do anything more than whet your appetite for the real thing. Great Intro This is a great book to get started learning about Kant. In fact the entire series is wonderful each about a great mind. and in less than 90 minutes! In 90 Minutes Series overview If you could sum up Kant in 90 Minutes in three words, what would they be? aka Cliff Notes Would you recommend Kant 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/Problems-of-Knowledge-and-Freedom-Audiobook/B00I498UDI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: TWO LECTURES BY THE FAMED LINGUIST Avram Noam Chomsky (b. 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, logician, political commentator, and outspoken social activist. He is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has written many books, such asLanguage & Thought,Aspects of the Theory of Syntax,Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media,Media Control, etc. This 1971 book is based on lectures that Chomsky delivered in tribute to Bertrand Russell at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1971. He wrote in the Introduction, âIs there a common thread running through Russellâs enormously varied studies, which, taken as a whole, touch on virtually every question of vital human concern? Is there, in particular, a link between his philosophical and political convictions? It is by no means obvious that a given personâs efforts, in such separate domains, must derive from a common source or be at all tightly linked. Perhaps, nevertheless, one can discern some common elements in Russellâs endeavor to discover the conditions of human knowledge and the conditions of human freedom. One point of contact I will discuss brieflyâ the âhumanistic conceptionâ of manâs intrinsic nature and creative potential that Russell formulates, as he places himself in a tradition of great richness and undiminished promise.â He states, âSuch slight experimental work as exists on this matter suggests that the concept of permanent and enduring objects is operative long before the use of language. Thus it appears that a child only a few months old interprets the world in terms of perceptual constancies, and shows surprise if stimuli do not manifest the expected behavior of âenduring and recurring physical objects.â If our conjectures are to be made sense of in terms of observation, it would seem that such observations support the conjecture that the âscheme of enduring and recurring individual objectsâ is primitive, rather than acquired in the course of language learning.â (Pg. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Immanuel-Kant-Audiobook/B002V1NLL6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I suspect I will have the same thing to say about all of the books in this series, as they are all narrated by Charlton Heston and are similar in quality. The recording is also excellent. These books are a lot of fun as they are concise, easy to understand, clear on the main points, and masterfully read. Although my political leanings kept me from being excited about downloading a book read by Charlton Heston, I have to admit that he has a style and flair that make the books very listenable. The "European" accented readings of other philosophers by other actors are a little cheesy at first, but do help with the atmosphere. Why the goofy accents? Great intro to Kant, good job by Chuck Heston. Hated the cheesy accents for the quoted material. A Fine Introduction... to Kant and his line of reason. I have read Kant and can recommend this book as a good introduction to difficult work for someone who is less acquainted with philosophy. Kant is not at all easy, and reading this book first will make one familiar with the basic premises with which he will be dealing. Charlton Heston is fantastic I love his movies, but old Heston is an even better narrator. plus Kant is amazing of course Not easy to follow, accents are terrible! What did you like best about Immanuel Kant? What did you like least? Charlton Heston is a very good reader, however the idea to recite quotes with very strong accents is not only dumb and so pronounced to be bothering, but it makes following the discussion harder. The topics explored are very complicated, I'd suggest to listen to it only if you can really focus on the content at all times. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Skepticism-and-Religious-Relativism-Audiobook/B002V1M5G8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Would probably be more understandable in print. I want to make it plain that while I am going to be critical of this book, it is not because I'm a believer in god who doesn't want to believe the author's arguments. I am, like the author, an atheist. So while the author and I would agree on most of his material, I simply don't think he conveyed it all that well. The author is a mathematician. In the preface, he says that you don't need to be a mathematician to understand his book because he didn't put a single formula in it. There may be no formulae, but he uses plenty of mathematics throughout the book which is not easy to follow in an audio book. There is much talk of sets and A + B and probability, etc. During much of this, my mind just sort of tuned out, waiting for something to come along that was more easily understandable. Whereas in a print book I could have slowed down to grapple with the math, in an audio book, it's not that simple to go over the last sentence a second time. Also, this is a short book, and he tries to cover a lot of material in a brief way. Many times I didn't think he succeeded very well. I didn't always understand what the question was, and other times I felt that I understood the question but didn't see how his argument applied to it. His habit of introducing irrelevancies in order to be amusing didn't help. Was this or that strand of thought pertinent to the argument? How? Other times I felt that a question was just given too little space. He would quote some author who wrote a 1200-page book on a topic, and just move on, leaving us to take his argument on faith, I guess. As you can see, I gave this 3 stars. I don't feel that it was a bad book, but it wasn't a particularly good one on the topic either, particularly in the audio form. If you are interested in the book, I would recommend that you check it out of your public library. This is exactly the way I view religion. Would you listen to Irreligion again? Why? I have already listened to it twice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Ontology-AudioLearn-Follow-Along-Manual-Audiobook/B00B0WQJP2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Pedantic What disappointed you about Ontology AudioLearn Follow-Along Manual? Does not give a feel for the subject at all. Instead it lists the major players and gives short summaries of their positions. How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator was OK. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

This new edition, prepared by an acclaimed translator and scholar of Kant's practical philosophy, presents the first new translation of the work to appear for many years, together with a substantial and lucid introduction. Editorial Reviews: Listeners may find themselves nodding along in understanding as they listen to narrator Brian Troxell's emphatic performance of Immanual Kant's seminal text on moral philosophy. Troxell infuses his narration with dynamic energy, and his voice has a familiar quality that makes Kant's theory on morality feel unintimidating. Positioned between the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of Judgment, the Critique of Practical Reason aims to prove the truth of Christianity by establishing the immortality of the soul and the existence of God. Its account of the authority of moral principles based on human autonomy provides the key to Kant's philosophical system. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Immanuel Kant) Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:57:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Critique-of-Practical-Reason-Audiobook/B0076CLT7I thebookvoice.com 05:42:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: WTF. . .AGAIN What would have made The Critique of Practical Reason better? WHY AM I PAYING YOU PEOPLE IF I CAN'T LISTEN TO THE BOOKS IN MY LIBRARY?! the narration didn't work for me What did you like best about The Critique of Practical Reason? What did you like least? I couldn't get past the first few minutes- the reading is too fast, and for my taste, the voice too high and a touch nasal. To be fair, I haven't read Kant yet, so maybe I just need a slower pace for my own digestion- reading it myself I will probably re-read portions several times. I'm not especially dense though, and I thought this would do for a first go at absorbing it, but I had to turn it off. Disappointing.

Michael Linenberger is a relatively normal businessman who for decades managed technology and consulting projects for some of the largest companies in the world. But starting in late 2012, Michael discovered a deep and profound inner silence entering his life that grew stronger and stronger each day. From that silence, a fundamental set of life transformations emerged: Work became easy; life became easy; all striving ceased. All fears and doubts disappeared. Unconditional happiness - bliss - moved in. Perhaps most important, a profound and accurate intuition took residence that began guiding his life to greater and greater achievements, both in his business and personal life. All these changes occurred through something Michael calls simple awakening - which he feels everyone has the potential to achieve. In an extraordinarily practical way, Michael tells the story of how, step by step, this amazing transformation unfolded over three years. Most important, he explains what awakening can mean to you: what it looks like, how you might cultivate it, and the many ways it could revolutionize your entire life. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Michael Linenberger) Thu, 17 Mar 2016 01:07:15 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Simple-Awakening-The-Power-of-Inner-Silence-Audiobook/B01D22EAVM thebookvoice.com 00:06:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Excited by the possibilities hinted at by the major scientific breakthroughs of the day, Scottish philosopher David Hume set out to construct a science of the mind. 1748's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is the result. A work that had a huge influence on great thinkers including celebrated German philosopher Immanuel Kant, An Enquiry is Hume's examination of how we obtain information and form beliefs. He argues that we mainly gain knowledge through our senses, a theory known as empiricism. But while the impressions from our senses are key to our beliefs about the world, Hume argues that reason and facts play only a limited part. His thinking here led him to dangerous places. His conclusion that many religious beliefs of the time could therefore not be justified was viewed with great suspicion during his lifetime. Yet An Enquiry is now widely considered one of the greatest works of Western philosophy, and Hume one of its key thinkers.

Members Reviews: The Reader in the new world--non fiction. As a struggling writer I find it difficult to consult my creativity in a nurturing yet properly instructive way. One of the main difficulties is finding the right literary setting to allow my ideas to flourish (or at least a place to plant them). Until I read The Burning Library I was only familiar with White's fiction. I was apprehensive about his essays; that the power of his imaginary voice would be subdued in the realm of non fiction. It is subdued but it is no less brilliant, no less insightful, and no less stimulating. White rules his world with a brutal and sensitive brain; he debunks "myth" as he creates it. When the essays turn to biography it helps to be familiar with who he's talking about (I reccomend a class in contemporary French Literary Criticism) but it isn't necessary. White is accessible, provocative and entertaining. After reading these essays it took me a long time to return to fiction--both reading and writing it. These are inspiring articles; intellectual, risque, humorous, and most importantly... still chic. I am--as with all White's writing--inspired to create but usually disappointed with how short I fall in my attempts to be similar. I highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in gay history or the contemporary gay culture. You'll Be Better Educated For This Burn Like "Fire In The Belly" before it, "The Burning Library" served as a radial title. Mr. White's prolific education and worldview introduced a host of heretofore unknown authors and their works. "The Burning Library" is a must for any serious reader in search of challenging, intellectual works. Another Angle It always pays to look at things from another angle. You may discover they are not exactly what you took them for at the first glance. Reading this book gives you a perfect oportunity to look at literature not only from a very different angle but also through the eyes of an eminent novelist and a keen literary critic. You may quarrel with White, reject his views but one thing is certain - it is very difficult to remain indifferent. A perfect addition to White's novels and an unorthodox course in 20th century literature. A Provocative and Far Ranging Collection Edmund White is one of the foremost novelists of our day. He is also a literary critic and social observer of the first order.This collection of essays and reviews spans the period of the late 60's through the mid 90's and charts the changing views and mores of the gay world of which White is an important member. In addition, White's literary analysis of both well known figures such as Nabokov and lesser known poets and authors from all over is acute and thoughtful. White's discussion of his own work is invaluable to those of us, like myself, who are devotés and places it within the greater context of literature. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Wer-hat-dir-gesagt-dass-du-nackt-bist-Adam-Mythologisch-philosophische-Verfuehrungen-Audiobook/B01LAV2ZO6 Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titel: Wer hat dir gesagt, dass du nackt bist, Adam?

Members Reviews: Hatchet Job If you know nothing about Wittgenstein, this book is not going to be of much help, though it does provide a scanty biographical sketch of the man. The treatment of Wittgenstein's ideas is both superficial and dismissive. It is hard to actually figure out what the purpose of this book is, other than to display the author's petulance. Best intro to this philosopher is Ray Monk's biography. Terrible Unless you already know Wittgenstein, this title will be of little value. If you have previously encountered Wittgenstein, you will be very irritated by the authors tone--sarcastic--and the marked paucity of any real information. There is little sense of why Wittgenstein is important and none of his central observations and insights which inform much of late 20th Century philosophy, culture and language. Serious Errors of understanding There are significant errors in history, facts and understanding of Wittgenstein's work that this small effort of 90 minutes thus will not just be a simple review, but rather it likely will impart to the new reader notions of Wittgenstein's thought with such grave misunderstandings that the user might take decades to reverse these imparted folly-laden explanations of Wittgenstein's history, thought and implications for 21st Philosophy. Avoid this. Read the texts. --- RZ PhD An tough job for a 90-minute book If you are looking for some deep insight into Wittgenstein, this is not the place to find it. However, as with all of Strathern's books, the weaving of Wittgestein's life with his philosophy gives us a fascinating snapshot of the man. Take some of Strathern's categorical statements with a grain of salt: sometimes (in the name of conservation of space, perhaps) glib statements can turn a complicated piece of Wittgenstein's thought into a muddy generality. Because it is not possible to to get close to the significance of Wittgenstein's thought in 90 minutes, the best introduction to Wittgenstein might be to brave the chilling intellectual waters and dive into the Tractatus firsthand, perhaps with a copy of Hans-Johann Glock's Wittgenstein Dictionary (from Blackwell) close at hand to prevent mental hypothermia. A look at some introductions to his work by D.F Pears or Anthony Kenny will undoubtedly help. Despite these cautions, I recommend this book, which is well read by Robert Whitfield. Best of what there is. Bring out David Markson David Markson Wittgenstein's Mistress won awards, and is an important read for modern lit.

Title: Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? Author: Michael J. Sandel Narrator: Michael J. Sandel Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 06-08-12 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Michael J Sandel's, Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? as read by the author himself. Considering the role of justice in our society and our lives, Michael Sandel reveals how an understanding of philosophy can help to make sense of politics, religion, morality - and our own convictions. Breaking down hotly contested issues - from abortion, euthanasia, and same-sex marriage to patriotism, dissent, and affirmative action - Sandel shows how the biggest questions in our civic life can be broken down and illuminated through reasoned debate. Justice promises to take readers - of all ages and political persuasions - on an exhilarating journey to confront today's political and moral controversies in a fresh and enlightening way. Critic Reviews: "One of the world's most interesting political philosophers." (Guardian) "Michael Sandel, perhaps the most prominent college professor in America...practices the best kind of academic populism, managing to simplify John Stuart Mill and John Rawls without being simplistic. But Sandel is best at what he calls bringing 'moral clarity to the alternatives we confront as democratic citizens'.... He ends up clarifying a basic political divide - not between left and right, but between those who recognize nothing greater than individual rights and choices, and those who affirm a 'politics of the common good,' rooted in moral beliefs that can't be ignored." (Michael Gerson, Washington Post) "Sandel explains theories of justice...with clarity and immediacy; the ideas of Aristotle, Jeremy Bentham, Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, Robert Nozick and John Rawls have rarely, if ever, been set out as accessibly.... In terms we can all understand, Justice confronts us with the concepts that lurk, so often unacknowledged, beneath our conflicts." (Jonathan Rauch, New York Times) biacuaduc@gmail.com (Michael J.

The author is a great narrator for the books and the book itself is a great way to start thinking about key questions for society and the general polity. I bought this as an accompaniment Michael Sandel's free online course about Justice, for which this book is recommended for extra reading. A great book and a great, engaging recording. an excellent thought provoking book. I really loved this book. You don't have to agree with all the points made, you just have to think about them. Difficult concepts are explained and it gives an overview of many philosophic views and compares and contrasts these. Makes you see issues in a new light. Well composed, thought out and presented. The author encourages you to develop your own views on a number of issues presenting philosophical tools to aid this process. At the end he presents his conclusions. Well presented and structured Good story, well laid out and structured. Enjoyed the points raised within the book very thought provoking. Well worth buying... Dandelions is an engaging moral philosopher Sandra is an engaging moral philosopher and I would recommend this book. Would also recommend searching the web for Sandel videos to get a taste of what is in store in this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Breakfast-with-Socrates-Audiobook/B003D8W7KC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Former Oxford Philosophy Fellow Robert Rowland Smith whisks you through an ordinary day with history's most extraordinary thinkers, explaining what they might have to say about your routine.

How do we know we're not still dreaming? Descartes argues that if you're able to doubt whether you're awake, you are at least thinking, and so you probably exist -- no small achievement for first thing in the morning. Or take going to the gym: As you toil on the treadmill, is your panting a sign of virtue or of vice, of healthy exertion or of unhealthy narcissism? Critic Reviews: "Although Smiths philosophical observations are sometimes overshadowed by his clever, showy prose, the author is genuinely good at making connections between important ideas and lived experience, and successful in showing that philosophy can be a vehicle for making the trivialities of life more meaningful (and hence more bearable) than they otherwise might be."

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Disappointed... I bought this one because the idea sounded quite interesting ... It wasn't ... Most ideas just did not make sense and were completely out of context (remotely related to the topic). Better read the works of the philsophers themselves and make the connection yourself.. Philosophy made delightful This survey of philosophy presents a refreshing twist to the steady plod through the history of metaphysics so often taken by comparative philosophy books. Smith uses the events of a "typical day"-- including waking up, driving to work, sneaking out of the office, and working out at the gym-- to explore current and classical philosophies alike on issues of awareness, identity, freedom, and conformity, respectively-- among many other ideas likewise tied to daily events. Breakfast With Socrates seems to span an area between philosophy and social science, and often left me going "Hmm. I never thought of it that way". A breeze to listen to, and delightfully informative. Craptastic! Is this really the kind of thing that issues from the pen of an Oxford don? I like Philosophy, I really do. But this book is a random jumble of shallow thoughts about everyday life. As a previous reviewer noted, topical chapters purport to cover things like "Waking up" and "Going to the Doctor." The author then goes on in the most glancing way possible to link experiences with philosophy. Great philosophers are given very short shrift, while the author seems to have a lot of interest in things that are not philosophical at all: a chapter on "lunch with your parents" is all about Bert Hellinger, the inventor of "Family Constellations" therapy, who is not a philosopher of any kind. You get the feeling that the author must have gone to Family Constellations Therapy himself, though, since the whole chapter seems like an advertisement for it. Stay away from this one, it was annoying and boring. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Humes-Dialogues-Audiobook/B01CO17EVU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Hume's Dialogues Author: David Hume Narrator: Ray Childs Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Agora, New Internet Technologies Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion had not yet been published when he died in 1776. Even though the manuscript was mostly written during the 1750s, it did not appear until 1779. The subject itself was too delicate and controversial, and Hume's dialectical examination of religious knowledge was especially provocative. What should we teach young people about religion? The characters Demea, Cleanthes, and Philo passionately present and defend three sharply different answers to that question. Demea opens the dialogue with a position derived from René Descartes and Father Malebranche - God's nature is a mystery, but God's existence can be proved logically. Cleanthes attacks that view, both because it leads to mysticism and because it attempts the impossible task of trying to establish existence on the basis of pure reason, without appeal to sense experience. As an alternative, he offers a proof both God's existence and God's nature based on the same kind of scientific reasoning established by Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. Taking a skeptical approach, Philo presents a series of arguments that question any attempt to use reason as a basis for religious faith.

Title: Hume's Dialogues Author: David Hume Narrator: Ray Childs Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Agora, New Internet Technologies Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion had not yet been published when he died in 1776. Even though the manuscript was mostly written during the 1750s, it did not appear until 1779. The subject itself was too delicate and controversial, and Hume's dialectical examination of religious knowledge was especially provocative. What should we teach young people about religion? The characters Demea, Cleanthes, and Philo passionately present and defend three sharply different answers to that question. Demea opens the dialogue with a position derived from René Descartes and Father Malebranche - God's nature is a mystery, but God's existence can be proved logically. Cleanthes attacks that view, both because it leads to mysticism and because it attempts the impossible task of trying to establish existence on the basis of pure reason, without appeal to sense experience. As an alternative, he offers a proof both God's existence and God's nature based on the same kind of scientific reasoning established by Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. Taking a skeptical approach, Philo presents a series of arguments that question any attempt to use reason as a basis for religious faith. He suggests that human beings might be better off without religion.

I used this audiobook to review Hume's important and entertaining dialogue for a class that I am teaching. I can't imagine that someone might select it for pure pleasure or to pass the time, but after giving it a listen, I can recommend it with some reservation for someone who may not have read the book before. It is a true classic, and has to rank as one of the most influential books of the 18th century and is the basis for much modern naturalist philosophy. Theologians should also read it and be prepared to respond to the intelligent arguments against natural religion generally and intelligent design specifically. What did you like best about this story? The dialogue is between three main characters: Cleanthes, an orthodox theist who relies on a version of the teleological argument as a basis for faith; Demea, who expounds a fideist approach to theology, and Philo, a theological skeptic. Each part is played by a different actor, which keeps the dialogue interesting and holds the listener's attention. Any additional comments? So now the bad news. The dialogue, lets say roughly three parts, is recorded out of order. This is a near fatal flaw, as you will hear the end of the dialogue and then in the next session the three are back continuing the conversation. Audible should have the studio who produced the book fix the problem, and it's worth the fix, because the dialogue is so good! A little too loose, & poorly divided Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Great book, not the best reading of it for philosophic purposes. A simple problem: chapters are divided into 2-3 minute segments. I can't figure out what principle is used--it's not at every change in speaker. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Treatise-Concerning-the-Principles-of-Human-Knowledge-Audiobook/B005P1FOUU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The ever relevant Berkeley! In the past Berkeley's ideas were viewed as a novelty. Something discussed as interesting but irrelevant. Now in the age of Quantum physics, theory and philosophy it is obvious that Berkeley was right about much more than he was wrong. His disapproval of Newtonian physics was prophetic, and his ideas on relativity foundational to Einsteins own theories. Berkeley's philosophy is nearly impregnable, and prophetic. This book is excellent because it is both a great version of the original but also has an audible version so you can use whisper sync. I highly recommend that if you want to read Berkeley that you read him here. Immaterialism at its best.. A bit beyond reality but good reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/What-Is-Art-Audiobook/B002V0PTLW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: unbearably snotty narration I gather that Tolstoy's views on the subject were at the least a little sardonic, but I can't get past the absolutely laughable, condescending tone the narrator feels obliged to apply to this reading. Is he trying to narrate it as he feels Tolstoy himself would have sounded? (In which case, I don't agree: I think that Tolstoy himself must have sounded a bit human, even sympathetic, once in a while!) -- Or, worse, is this simply how the narrator believes "serious, world-historical" works such as this SHOULD be read? Is it how he reads all works? I should have listened longer to the sample clip before buying... Worst purchase I've made here; I can hardly get through it. Another major gripe regards the passages in different languages. It seems that in order to be kind to the reader translations should be supplied alongside the original text when passages in a foreign language are as long as some of these; I don't understand Russian or German in the slightest. I do, however, speak and understand French, and one last absurdity is the atrocity with which the narrator mangles the pronunciation- and always in that awful, sneering, "highbrow-literary" tone! interesting look into a past future things did not turn out quite the way Tolstoy had hoped but the difference between his vision and reality are pretty fascinating https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/On-Evil-Audiobook/B007Y6J8T2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: On Evil Author: Terry Eagleton Narrator: David Thorn Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 04-30-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: For many enlightened, liberal-minded thinkers today, and for most on the political left, evil is an outmoded concept. It smacks too much of absolute judgements and metaphysical certainties to suit the modern age. In this witty, accessible study, the prominent Marxist thinker Terry Eagleton launches a surprising defence of the reality of evil, drawing on literary, theological, and psychoanalytic sources to suggest that evil, no mere medieval artifact, is a real phenomenon with palpable force in our contemporary world. In a book that ranges from St. Augustine to alcoholism, Thomas Aquinas to Thomas Mann, Shakespeare to the Holocaust, Eagleton investigates the frightful plight of those doomed souls who apparently destroy for no reason. In the process, he poses a set of intriguing questions. Is evil really a kind of nothingness? Why should it appear so glamorous and seductive? Why does goodness seem so boring? Is it really possible for human beings to delight in destruction for no reason at all? Critic Reviews: "An absorbing, stimulating, awfully entertaining discussion." (Booklist) "Highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersection between literature, philosophy, and religion."

(James Wood, The New Yorker) Members Reviews: A book full of quotables This book does a good job of supporting a view of evil, but what that view is remains somewhat unclear. Nonetheless, for readers who like to draw their own conclusions, Eagleton provides some intriguing analysis of literature and philosophy with regard to evil or immorality. Thoughful Outstanding philosopher. The book defines evil in depth. A great gift for introspective friends (or folks who think they are without flaws!) Eagleton sobre el mal Eagleton es quizás uno de los mejores ensayistas contemporáneos en lengua inglesa. Sus libros suelen combinar el rigor, claridad y erudición propios del texto académico con la ligereza y humor característicos de textos más profanos. En el caso de este libro, Eagleton nos ofrece una suerte de diorama de uno de los problemas más antiguos de la historia: el problema de la existencia del mal. Para un marxista como Eagleton, el problema de la existencia del mal es particularmente relevante, dado que el materialismo histórico sobre el que se basa el dogma marxista presupone, de forma similar al cristianismo y otras religiones, que el sufrimiento y la miseria sean pre-condiciones para el logro de una vida mejor. Eagleton no niega las similaridades entre el dogma cristiano y el marxista, como lo demuestra el hecho de que lo que él pretende con este libro no es otra cosa que una teodicea. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Contre-histoire-de-la-philosophie-21-Audiobook/B00TKKUJEI Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titre: Contre-histoire de la philosophie 2.1 Sous-titre: L'archipel pré-chrétien - D'Epicure à Diogène d'Œnoanda Auteur: Michel Onfray Narrateur: Michel Onfray Format: Original Recording Durée: 5 hrs and 1 min Langue: Français Date de publication: 06-13-06 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 4.5 sur 5 sur 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: D'Epicure à Diogène d'Œnoanda 6 cours de philosophie sur l'archipel pré-chrétien "La nécessité est un mal, il n'y a aucune nécessité de vivre sous l'empire de la nécessité."

The main advantage is physical size. Mr. Clark refers to it as the perfect "plane" book. That's true. But even better, it is a true pocket book. They fit easily into the back of one's jeans waiting for the odd moment to be pulled out and used. They can usually be easily read in a couple of hours. But that format has limitations. I find that the VSI volumes that are devoted to a single thinker are much more useful than the ones that cover a broad subject matter. (It inspires me to a bad pun. "A very short intro to a very big subject" is almost Oxfordmoronic. O, never mind.) At best, when dealing with a subject matter as opposed to an individual thinker the VSIs are concise intros. But sometimes, as with the VSI to The Philosophy of Law the treatment seems shallow. Wacks is very good on some of his thinkers: Rawls, Dworkin, Hart, Weber, and Habermas are all fairly well done. Some of the others are not as well handled- I found his treatment of Locke, Marx, Foucault to be cursory at best. It felt like a survey of a survey. So take it for what it is. This volume is a very quick overview of a lot of thinkers (see Mr. Clark's review for a good listing). Some of these thinkers are important enough to deserve their own volume in the series (Locke, Marx, and Habermas). Others like Rawls and Dworkin deserve such treatment. Prof. Wacks has provided us with a quick and cheap way to orient ourselves to future reading in this field. I just cannot help but feel that he could have done better. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Platos-Laches-Audiobook/B01CO0PUEE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dreadful narrator What made the experience of listening to Greatness and Limitations of Freud's Thought the most enjoyable? There are some useful and interesting insights in here, and I've ordered the print book to study in more depth. Fromm's perspective on Freud is useful, but the narrator was not very engaging and frequently sounded like he was reciting his shopping list. To himself. If youve listened to books by Erich Fromm before, how does this one compare? I've only read research papers by Fromm, never an entire book. I'm not sure all of his observations about Freud are very strong, and few of Freud's detractors can ever come close to his breadth of genius meaning that even well-founded criticisms often seem paltry by comparison. Largely Fromm is positive about Freud, suggesting that much of his work should be considered working hypotheses rather than complete theories - a position I'd agree with. Overall, however, I'd say that as an audiobook this is a bit of a sleepy listen. How could the performance have been better? I'm not sure the narrator could have been more monotonous if he'd tried. I have no idea what Fromm sounded like in real life, but the narration made him sound like the most tiresome, bored and faintly irritable character imaginable. The delivery was sleepy at best, bored at worst. A little more variety of intonation would have been most welcome. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Its-Worth-It-Audiobook/B0759V3GRV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Wonderful reading. Thought-provoking. I have underlined passages on every page! Three Stars More scientific with supporting documentation than reading for the lay person who's interested in the subject. ... as assigned reading for a college class and have enjoyed it so much that I'm reading his other books ... I bought this as assigned reading for a college class and have enjoyed it so much that I'm reading his other books in my free time! A reasonable morality for a reasonable species. The Science of Good and Evil is the third book of a series by Michael Shermer. The first book was Why People Believe Weird Things, and the second book was How We Believe: Science, Skepticism, and the Search for God. The substance of this book is discussion of morality and ethics, with view towards science to give some guidance on the origins (evolution) and function of morality. Shermer does not promote moral relativism, but something close to that in some people's minds. His main premise is that there is a general morality on almost any subject that most people would agree upon. That is, it would apply to most people, most of the time, in most circumstances. Of course, that does mean that the desire of many people to have an absolute standard of morality may go unfulfilled, but that is expected by anyone that has given this much thought. An example is in the case of lying. Is it always bad to lie? Certainly it is for most people, most of the time, in most circumstances. However, could there be exceptions? One of the standard examples of how it is okay to lie is when a greater harm can be avoided by lying, such as a case in World War II: Jews were hid in people's houses, so they would not be discovered and destroyed in whatever imaginative way the Nazis were using at the time. When the Nazis knocked on the door, would it have been morally right to tell the truth and reveal the presence of the Jews hidden inside? Another example like that is the woman that is being beaten by her husband, and flees her own house, coming to yours begging for shelter. Would you allow her entry? Most of us would. What about when her husband knocks at your door asking if you'd seen her? Would you tell the truth? These are just two examples from the questions of morality regarding truth telling (not necessarily given in the book, but the ideas behind both are in the book). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Contre-histoire-de-la-philosophie-12-Audiobook/B00TKIDSLG Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titre: Contre-histoire de la philosophie 1.2 Sous-titre: L'archipel pré-chrétien - De Leucippe à Epicure Auteur: Michel Onfray Narrateur: Michel Onfray Format: Original Recording Durée: 5 hrs and 5 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 09-19-05 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 4.5 sur 5 sur 11 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: De Leucippe à Epicure 6 cours de philosophie sur l'archipel pré-chrétien "La nécessité est un mal, il n'y a aucune nécessité de vivre sous l'empire de la nécessité" Epicure (341-270 av.

Members Reviews: Fantastic Introduction Most of the books in the Past Masters series serve as excellent introductions to the profound insights and complex ideas produced by humanity's greatest thinkers. Cristopher Taylor's edition on Socrates is no exception. Perhaps the most important philosopher in history, the thoughts of Socrates remain as valuable today as they were more than two thousand years ago. Many of Socrates' ideas still serve as the foundation of much modern thought and retain the power to stimulate the most critical of intellects. Taylor does an excellent job of describing the many important aspects of both Socrates' life and his ideas. The book provides a short biography, examines the validity and reliability of what his contemporaries wrote about him (Socrates wrote nothing himself), examines his influence on Plato while exploring the distinctions between the two great thinkers, and provides a thorough and enlightening summation of Socrates' main ideas (especially in regards to ethics). This book should serve as an enjoyable and informative read for both the casual reader and the philosophical enthusiast. This book is Great! We need more VSI Philophers!! This book is great!! We need more audio books from this collection about philosophers! I am really looking forward to listen to Habermas, Kant, Marx, Descartes, Hume, Gandhi, Kierkegaard, Rousseau , Wittgenstein, Thomas Aquinas, Foucault and others Philosophers, although I have it all in paperback, it will be so nice to listen too! Thank you for providing such a great collection for all we listeners! Cheers! The Problems of Philosophy The book gives usefull insights about Socrates's life and ideas. The fundamental themes in Socrates's philosophy are exposed with clarity, allowing the listener to be educated in the matter. In the words of Plato and other greek thinkers, Socrates's reflections are discussed. Definitely an usefull listening and a great introduction in the problems of philosophy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Greek-Mythology-Audiobook/B071YZ2B3R Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Greek Mythology Subtitle: A Fascinating Guide to Understanding the Ancient Greek Religion with Its Gods, Goddesses, Monsters and Mortals Author: Matt Clayton Narrator: JD Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-17 Publisher: Matt Clayton Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The ancient Greeks were explorers in many ways. They traveled to new places, creating colonies in strange lands far from their original homes. They were survivors. They were honorable thieves. They used their cunning to explore the frontiers of philosophy and they wrested from the chaos of the surrounding wilderness the building blocks of civilization. Though the Greeks were late to the game of writing, what they wrote became an important part of our world's heritage. Greek heroes taught us many lessons, from Homer's poetry about war and a warrior's return home to the tales of Cadmus, Jason, Herakles and even Oedipus. The myths of Greek heroes give us a glimpse beyond the edge of history, into the lives of very real people. How much of their tales are true, we may never know. But this book will present their tales in a new light, hopefully making their experiences a bit more real and perhaps shining a light on what may have really happened behind the distortions of time and generations of misunderstanding. This audiobook is broken into four parts. The first will explore Greek heroes, what they were like and what they accomplished. The second part of the book will tackle Greek religion; the gods and goddesses which establish the backdrop against which Greek legends were formed. In the third part of the book, we take a close look at the myths of Greek monsters. And finally, in the fourth part, we explore the possible meaning behind the literal words of Greek mythology. Early in the written history of ancient Greece, we have the great Athenian lawgiver, Solon. He attempted to tame the unruly beast within the heart of each Greek hero. They were selfish, each and every one of them. But they also had a code of honor that helped them reign in their selfishness.

Title: Pursuit of Truth Author: W. V. Quine Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-11 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Pursuit of Truth by W. V. Quine is a classic of modern philosophy, the summation of one of the 20th century's greatest philosophers. The pursuit of truth is a quest that links observation, theory, and the world. Various faulty efforts to forge such links have led to much intellectual confusion. Quine's efforts to get beyond the confusion begin by rejecting the very idea of binding tocether word and thing, rejecting the focus on the isolated word. For him, observation sentences and theoretical sentences are the alpha and omega of the scientific enterprise. Notions like "idea" and "meaning" are vague, but a sentence -- now there's something you can sink your teeth into. Starting thus with sentences, Quine sketches an epistemological setting for the pursuit of truth. He proceeds to show how reification and reference contribute to the elaborate structure that can indeed relate science to its sensory evidence. This is a key book for understanding the effort that a major philosopher has made a large part of his life's work: to naturalize epistemology in the twentieth century. The book is concise and elegantly written, as one would expect, and does not assume the reader's previous acquaintance with Quine's writings. Throughout, it is marked by Quine's wit and economy of style. The book is published by Harvard University Press. Critic Reviews: "Pursuit of Truth is, like all Quine's works, most engagingly written. He strives for concision of the most telegraphic sort, and achieves it in a way that gives the special pleasure evoked by a conspicuous skill." (Anthony Quinton, The Times) biacuaduc@gmail.com (W. V.

(Anthony Quinton, The Times) Members Reviews: QUINE PROPOSES TO âUPDATEâ A NUMBER OF HIS IDEAS Willard Van Orman Quine (1908-2000) was an American philosopher and logician who taught at Harvard University, and wrote many books such asWord and Object,The Web of Belief,From a Logical Point of View,Ontological Relativity & Other Essays,Theories and Things,Methods of Logic,Philosophy of Logic,Quiddities: An Intermittently Philosophical Dictionary, etc. He wrote in the Preface to the first (1990) edition, âIn these pages I have undertaken to update, sum up, and clarify my variously intersecting views on cognitive meaning, objective reference, and the grounds of knowledge. Some of the progress is expository and some substantive. The substance has been precipitating sporadically over the past ten years, and some of it has surfaced in lectures, informal discussions, and scattered paragraphsâ I intend this little book no less for my past readers then for my new ones, so I have curbed my exposition of things already belabored in my other books. I do retrace familiar ground where I see an improvement in the idea of the presentation ââ He says in the first essay, âWhat brought us to an examination of observation was our quest of the link between observation and theory. The observation sentence is the means of verbalizing the prediction that checks a theory. The requirement that it command a verdict outright is what makes it a final checkpoint. The requirement of intersubjectivity is what makes science objective.â (Pg. 4-5) He admits, âI am of that [group] who repudiate the Cartesian dream of a foundation for scientific certainty firmer than scientific method itself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Discourse-on-the-Method-of-Reason-Audiobook/B00OZEN87O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Cogito ergo sum. I think therefore I am. This was the singular truth which initiated the structure of thought built by Descartes. His work was the starting point for all of the philosophers which came after. He extended the use of reason and deduction into the natural sciences, and his work was the beginning of the climb out of the dark ages of faith and reasoning by authority. The Discourse on the Method of Reason was the first true work of skepticism, a foundation of doubt which allowed a critical re-examination of all that was previously held to be true. Descartes literally revolutionized both philosophy and mathematics, and this discourse provides the means by which he approached the tangle of contemporary thought and laid the foundation of rational understanding. Includes: A brief background of the author and the work, overview, synopsis, and analysis historical context, criticisms, and social impact chapter-by-chapter summary, the full narration of the text.

Right from the start, I have to give Descartes credit. How many of us actually stop to think about what we know? About why we know it and how certain that knowledge is? And we live in an era where you can look up anything with a search engine and the press of a few buttons. In Descartes era, knowledge was much harder to come by. Not impossible, by any means, and likely the quality of the written works in his time were on average higher than the average quality of the modern era. It took study and application to write a piece of literature. It wasnt something that was entered into lightly. This made it all the more likely for those who read it to accept it without question. The writer was clearly an authority in the field, otherwise they wouldnt have written it. Another influence that Descartes was working against was a markedly provincial lifestyle. This was not as true in the 16th century as it would have been a few centuries before. The Crusades had taken people to new worlds and exposed them to new cultures and ways of thinking. Although they were violent and immoral in many ways, these religious conflicts led Europe into the Renaissance, introducing new understanding and clarity to thought. Descartes is a product of this expansion, and one of the few in this era who presented it in a form that others could clearly follow. Descartes begins with doubt. This is something Bertrand Russell would have loved. Russell felt that the purpose of philosophy was to clarify and refine our thought, to allow us to distinguish between assumptions and certain knowledge. He and Descartes would have seen eye-to-eye about the purpose of their field, as Descartes is all about certainty. It is his central pillar, the ideal to which he aspired with all of his work. Certainly a lofty goal, and I have to admit he made headway in rooting out a number of the assumptions that characterized the thought of his era. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Prince-Audiobook/B002V5H5G4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Prince review This is a must read for literate thinking persons. I have enjoyed the historical setting introduction to the text. It was a valuable enlightenment into the character of Machiavelli, and the events occureing in the nations during Machiavelli's life. Many of the things he speaks of, a person can see repeated or reflected in politics in our world history in the succeeding centuries since Machiavelli's time. A worthwhile way to use reading time. Highly recommended. Quick Delivery, Great Annotating Space I had to read this book and annotate it for a school project. The annotating space on each page is great and very useful. Great option for anyone who is reading this and wants to keep track of their thoughts. What a usefull book. It's more useful than the Bible, mainly because it's relevant to everything occurring right now. This book will only enhance the reader and give an understanding of why leaders of countries, businesses, and organizations make certain decisions. You want to read this if you want to know what's going on. This book is very organized and useful for college students This book is fairly priced. I also like the fact that this book has margins on the side to write notes on. Each chapter has a couple of words explaining the theme of that chapter making it easier to determine what chapters you might want to read and which ones you might not. Great for students! The Prince Fast delivery! Book perfect condition, daughter has to read it for summer homework ... thanks! Not sure if a 14 year old will understand, may have to re-read a few times and ask a lot of questions ... this book is so relevant to our current political madness. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Contre-histoire-de-la-philosophie-22-Audiobook/B00TKQS4C6 Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titre: Contre-histoire de la philosophie 2.2 Sous-titre: L'archipel pré-chrétien - D'Epicure à Diogène d'Œnoanda Auteur: Michel Onfray Narrateur: Michel Onfray Format: Original Recording Durée: 4 hrs and 6 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 06-13-06 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 5 sur 5 sur 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: D'Epicure à Diogène d'Œnoanda 6 cours de philosophie sur l'archipel pré-chrétien "La nécessité est un mal, il n'y a aucune nécessité de vivre sous l'empire de la nécessité." Epicure (341-270 av. J-C) Une historiographie alternative 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. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique. Cet audio est accompagné d'un document annexe se trouvant dans votre bibliothèque après achat. , philosophe et écrivain français, né à Argentan le premier janvier 1959, commença par enseigner la philosophie à une classe de terminale du lycée technique de Caen. En 2002, il démissionna de l'Education Nationale afin de créer l'Université Populaire de Caen. Il y enseigne depuis la "contre-histoire de la philosophie" ici présentée.

Title: Phaedo Author: Plato Narrator: George Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 12-25-17 Publisher: Audioliterature Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: "Phaedo", also known to ancient readers as "On the Soul", is one of the best-known dialogues of Plato's middle period, along with the "Republic" and the "Symposium". The "Phaedo", which depicts the death of Socrates, is also Plato's fourth and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final day. In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the nature of the afterlife on his last day before being executed by drinking hemlock. Socrates has been imprisoned and sentenced to death by an Athenian jury for not believing in the gods of the state and for corrupting the youth of the city. The dialogue is told from the perspective of one of Socrates' students, Phaedo of Elis, who has been present at Socrates' death bed. By engaging in dialectic with a group of Socrates' friends, Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality in order to show that there is an afterlife in which the soul will dwell following death. After the discussion, Phaedo and the others were there to witness the death of Socrates. Plato (428-348 BC) was a philosopher in classical Greece. Along with his mentor, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science. ©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature biacuaduc@gmail.com (Plato) Mon, 25 Dec 2017 08:27:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Phaedo-Audiobook/B077TZ5CS4 thebookvoice.com 02:58:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Phaedo is amazing but it was extremely hard to read to for class because it has no reference number sections in the margins like it's supposed to. I was not thrilled about having to check it out from my library just to read it again so I was happy that it was free on Amazon A dialogue that is worth reading over and over. I was not thrilled about having to check it out from my library just to read it again so I was happy that it was free on Amazon. There are few people that can create something that is so easily to be interpreted in many different ways. I interpreted this book as a realist and spiritual way to see death. As someone who has faced death before because of health conditions many years ago I can easily connect to the dialogue as if I were there. And based on your experiences you may interpret it similarly or differently than I did. What a great mind resided in Plato. I thought this translation was wonderful. It boggles my mind that Socrates (or Plato) should be able to discuss Heaven and Christian oriented concepts four hundred years before the time of Jesus. just some words Plato is one of the wisest philosophers of our human world culture. His sentences are fresh and true nowadays as well. His works help us to look deeply in the eyes of Death - for example. Five Stars Amazing read. Basically was a piece in explaining how God is real. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Wisdom-of-Thoreau-Audiobook/B00BPBKJD6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Myths about Ayn Rand Subtitle: Popular Errors and the Insights They Conceal Author: David Kelley, Laurie Rice, Alexander R. Cohen, William R Thomas Narrator: Scott R. Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 46 mins Language: English Release date: 07-15-16 Publisher: The Atlas Society Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Since the 2008 recession began, sales of Atlas Shrugged have surged and the novel (and author Ayn Rand) have landed at the center of American politics, including presidential campaigns. Thousands of articles have been written about Ayn Rand's ideas. A firestorm of criticism has followed. How is one to make sense of all the competing claims about Rand's ideas? What did Ayn Rand believe? Was she a prophetic visionary who sounded a warning bell about creeping socialism and the financial disaster that would follow in its wake? Did she define what is quintessentially American - individualism, self-authorship, achievement, and freedom? Or was she the lowest of the low, a fawning and vapid worshipper of wealthy persons and unbridled power? If someone asked you to explain Rand's basic ideas, could you? This illuminating book reveals the "clockwork" behind many critics' misunderstandings and distortions of her ideas and provides simple and straightforward explanations of prominent "myths" about Ayn Rand. Whether you decide to embrace Ayn Rand's ideas, reject them, or simply want to be able to participate in an informed way in conversations about Rand's ideas, this slim volume will help you understand her revolutionary philosophy and identify the myths circulating about her ideas. In these essays, four authors identify some prominent myths, show why they are false, and state the plain facts that the myths conceal. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Kelley) Fri, 15 Jul 2016 22:58:40 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Myths-about-Ayn-Rand-Audiobook/B01IFL16BW thebookvoice.com 00:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: What Philosophy Can Do Author: Gary Gutting Narrator: Kevin Pariseau Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 09-08-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A leading American philosopher brings the tools of his trade to contentious contemporary debates. How can we have meaningful debates with political opponents? How can we distinguish reliable science from overhyped media reports? How can we talk sensibly about God? In What Philosophy Can Do, Gary Gutting takes a philosopher's scalpel to modern life's biggest questions and the most powerful forces in our society - politics, science, religion, education, and capitalism - to show how we can improve our discussions of contentious contemporary issues. Gutting introduces listeners to powerful analytic tools in the philosopher's arsenal that they can use to make new sense of current debates. One such tool is a crucial distinction between inductive and deductive reasoning that explains why both sides on a disputed issue often are sure they have compelling cases for their views. Another is the principle of charity, which requires opposing parties to present each other's arguments in their strongest forms - a tool that would make critiques both more respectful and more effective. Gutting also shows how concepts introduced by philosophers from Plato and Aristotle to Michel Foucault and John Rawls can clarify public discussions about morality, the economy, and medicine. From informed assessments of scientific claims to careful analyses of arguments for and against religious belief, Gutting brings a calm, clearheaded approach to some of the most divisive issues on the table today. He scrutinizes our relationships to work and freedom in capitalism; our modern understanding of happiness and the good life; the value of liberal arts education and the humanities; the role of science and politics in shaping public policy today; and the value of art and popular culture. Perhaps most meaningfully, Gutting shows how we can talk about our own deepest beliefs clearly and directly while listening to what others have to say to us. What Philosophy Can Do makes a powerful case for philosophy's importance to public discussions and shows us that this ancient tradition of inquiry may yet have much to say about our future. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Gary Gutting) Tue, 08 Sep 2015 17:01:32 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/What-Philosophy-Can-Do-Audiobook/B012BNUR6U thebookvoice.com 10:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Intellectual Maintenance Made Easy Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I think this book would be a good candidate for a friend interested in philosophy, but perhaps doesn't have the time or volition to tackle the intimidating body of literature surrounding it. The book seems remarkably accessible and with such profound topics its sure to make a good first impression. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? The idea of using philosophy not to win debates, but as a kind of intellectual maintenance, to clearly define our own values and refine them when compelled to. Gutting makes room for both the political left and the right at the table, capitalist and socialist, pro-life and pro choice, even atheist and theist. The way he makes sound sense of tense and often intractable issues offer a glimmer of hope for getting past our more deadlocked disagreements. Have you listened to any of Kevin Pariseaus other performances before? How does this one compare? Yeah he read Wranghams "Catching Fire". He's pretty good, reads it like he wrote it, Any additional comments? Really enjoyed hearing another perspective on the "God" and "Free Will" debates, didn't agree with everything he said, but I would be splitting hairs. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Contre-histoire-de-la-philosophie-141-Nietzsche-Audiobook/B00U6NJJ4Y Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titre: Contre-histoire de la philosophie 14.1 : Nietzsche Auteur: Michel Onfray Narrateur: Michel Onfray Format: Original Recording Durée: 5 hrs and 55 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 09-14-10 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 4 sur 5 sur 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: 7 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.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Geneva-born thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau's famous work of political philosophy from 1762 is based on a give-and-take theory of the relation between individual freedom and social order: the social contract that gives the work its name. Rousseau thinks about the issue by starting with what is known as the state of nature, a lawless condition where people are free to do what they like, governed only by their own instinctive sense of justice. People are free, but they are also vulnerable to chaos and violence. To avoid this, they agree to give up some of their freedom to benefit from the protection of social and political organization. But this deal is only just if societies are led by the collective needs and wants of the people, and are able to control the private interests of individuals. The people's collective power upholds individual freedom as a general principle, if not in each specific case. Rousseau's thinking - that the only legitimate form of government is rule by the people - was certainly radical for the time.

Members Reviews: No Discussion of Heidegger? Where does A Brief History of the Philosophy of Time rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Middling - recapped older material well, but little awareness or insight into post-1920 discussions. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Good discussions of Aristotles views and their segue in Islamic and Western philosophy - good discussion of Augustine and Kant. Not much insight re Hegel and historical temporality, and little mention of Nietzsche. No serious engagement with phenomenology or postmodern critiques. Relativity gets its due, but it is not woven well into the post-Kantian thread. To get wonky - Einstein's temporal/ontological views are rather naive, and a critique from the POV of, say, Nietzsche or Derrida would have been interesting. Not to settle who is right - but to illuminate the issues. Would you listen to another book narrated by Sean Runnette? Not particularly - ponderous tone, not bad, but not inviting Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Not that type of book - good for reading n short chunks. Any additional comments? Heidegger - Author is either unaware of Heidegger's immensely important book Being and Time, or chooses to suppress the thoughts of a notorious Nazi sympathizer. Politics aside, Heidegger develops an intricate view of temporality as the structure and horizon of all conscious being that moves far beyond Kant. Agree or not, these ideas have influenced many later writers from Derrida to Foucault, and deserved inclusion. This was disappointing, given the title of the book. Excellent intro to philosophy of time I really enjoyed this audible book. The content was excellent. It's dense material, but it helped tremendously that I really liked the narrator's voice. Hope to find other books he has narrated! second half is embarrassing drivel the history of philosophy time in the first half of the book was interesting, and I learned a few things, but the second half involves discussions on a few embarrassing themes -- a desperate grasping for conceptual innovation that fails miserably (ie drivel typical academic Philosophy) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Macat-Analysis-of-Michel-Foucaults-Discipline-and-Punish-The-Birth-of-the-Prison-Audiobook/B01GJUUSL0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: How do those in power exercise that power over a state's citizens? French thinker Michel Foucault's 1975 work Discipline and Punish looks to answer this question by investigating the prison system. Foucault does not believe that the modern-day system developed out of reformers' humanitarian concerns. He argues that prison both created and then became part of a bigger system of surveillance that extends throughout society. Power is no longer exerted directly through violence. Prisoners who were once executed are now far more likely to be monitored and controlled. And the fear of being constantly watched leads prisoners to self-regulate; to behave in ways those in power approve of. This insidious method has moved way beyond the bounds of the prison walls. It is now a part of many aspects of our lives, inflicted on us in many places. Surveillance - or systematic monitoring - by government institutions produces "docile bodies," which Foucault defines as bodies that can be monitored and psychologically controlled, and that are then trained to self-govern.

Members Reviews: Useful in this age of information overload Unlike the reviewer below I have read the entire book. Consequently I think I am in a better position to actually say something legitimate about the quality of 'What To Believe Now'. 'What To Believe Now' is a book about epistemology, otherwise known as 'theory of knowledge.' It is a book about applied epistemology, which is to say it discusses practical matters concerning beliefs. In particular it deals with subjects like conspiracy theories, expert testimony, wikipedia, blogs, and so on. The first chapter is the most theory laden part of the book and lays a general groundwork about what constitutes a belief. The rest of the book applies this theory to actual cases of belief formation and cases where what constitutes a right belief are called into question. There are a number of excellent things about this book. The first excellent thing is that it is readable and engaging. It is the sort of book that one doesn't put down - it's like reading an addictive piece of fiction. In my experience this is highly irregular as far as philosophy books go: most philosophy books are dull and plodding. Not so for 'What To Believe Now' 'What To Believe Now' is a lively and readable piece of philosophy that happily contains a good dose of dry humour. In the same vein the book has the virtue of not being overlong. Some philosophy books are unnecessarily verbose and rambling - 'What To Believe Now' says what it has to say in an economical way and I cannot see how it could have been better said even if it had have had another 200 pages. The second excellent thing about 'What To Believe Now' is the fact that it has some impact upon the sorts of beliefs we should hold, and therefore may have some impact on how we behave. For example, the book discusses what constitutes the right conditions for believing the testimony of others. It is easy to see how this discussion might contribute towards our day-to-day life. We are constantly being advised by people all the time and it is not always clear when and who we should believe. 'What To Believe Now' helps provide some grounds for guiding us through such issues. In this way, 'What To Believe Now' actually does a useful job in helping us decide what beliefs we should hold. This has other normative implications - once we know what beliefs to hold, this helps guide our actions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Del-arte-de-la-guerra-The-Art-of-War-Audiobook/B01JSCF4J2 Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Título: Del arte de la guerra [The Art of War] Autor: Nicolas Maquiavelo Narrador: Joaquin Rodrigo Madrigal Formato: Abridged Duración: 4 hrs and 46 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 08-09-16 Editor: Alberich Ediciones Mexico Calificaciones: 5 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Nonfiction, Philosophy Resumen del editor: El libro "Del arte de la guerra", de Maquiavelo en torno a 1520, desarrolla,siguiendo el típico esquema formal del tratado renacentista dialogado, lasreflexiones del gran autor florentino sobre la milicia y la guerra.

Members Reviews: Eye opening I've always been a big fan of stoicism, I believe it's still very applicable today and for me the way to success. This book does a great job at explaining everything about stoicism. would definitely recommend ! learned Stoicism easily Most of the information here are amazing because I never read them before. I learned what the core philosophies are. I also learned what the cardinal virtues are. This book taught me what stoicism helps me with. I hope that this book is created before because I really like the content of this book. One thing I am looking about this book is good examples in each topic. Great Information Enjoyed it. I would recommend it. It can get kind of repetitive towards the end but still well worth full listen This is a beautiful book in every way ... There is a brief history on how stoicism came to be, and who had contributed to solidifying it as an accepted way of thinking and acting. I was really interested to find that this philosophy has potential to lower stress, anxiety, fear and many other negative emotions as well. Great read! Grab it The book has a tendency to be dull and any mindful peruser will get the writer's focuses right on time in a section so don't falter to speed read partitions. It is efficient and pleasant as writer appears to be a warm companion, laying out the case for the peruses to embrace some theory on the best way to live and offering an adjusted point of view on stoicism as just one of those methods of insight. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Wisdom-of-Buddha-Audiobook/B00BMR88JU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An Almost Total Waste of Time and Money This book provides rambling chapters of information that offers little if no insight to the human mind. If there were insights, they were sandwiched between lecture-like droning with pulpit style delivery. It almost sounds as if this book was written after a 'bad trip'.. or more likely, during. I've downloaded a couple dozen books from audible, many of them on the human brain, and this book was one big waste of time and money. Wish I could get my money back. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/David-Hume-Audiobook/B002V5GY0C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Quotes are delivered by great voice actors using the accent of the historical figure being quoted. This book delivers exactly what it promises. Heston saves it What did you like best about David Hume? What did you like least? Good introduction to Hume. Short and easy to digest. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Heston does a great job. The guy doing the fake Scottish accent of the Hume quotes is irritating at best and confusing at worst (because you can't help listen more to his accent than the content). Hume for almost everyone David Hume is one of the most important philosophers and this work does him justice. A good introduction to Hume's writings and his life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Pluralistic-Universe-by-William-James-Audiobook/B013TQVY74 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The Pluralistic Universe is a collection of lectures that James gave at Oxford University between 1908 and 1909.

He critically reviews the accepted perspective of classic philosophers from Plato to Kant, highlighting the inconsistencies in their work and providing a compelling alternative to their conclusions.

Title: Ethics Subtitle: The Fundamental Questions of Our Lives Author: Wolfgang Huber Narrator: Captain James H. Hammond, II Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 08-24-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In the 21st century the basic questions of ethics are no longer the abstract terms of ethical theory, but the concrete and burning issues related to the influence of life sciences, the impact of a globalized economy, and the consequences of present decisions for the future of humankind. Ethics: The Fundamental Questions of Our Lives analyzes 20 ethical issues that address education and culture, labor and economy, the environment and sustainability, democracy and cosmopolitanism, peace and war, and life and death. Each chapter describes a concrete example showing the relevance of the fundamental ethical question, then provides an explanation of how one can think through possible responses and reactions. Huber emphasizes the connections between personal, professional, and institutional ethics and demonstrates how human relationships lie at the center of our ethical lives. His aim is to articulate a theology of what he calls "responsible freedom" that transcends individualistic self-realization and includes communal obligations. The book is published by Georgetown University Press. Critic Reviews: "Wolfgang Huber is a leading churchman and a brilliant public intellectual - a rare combination indeed. In his book on ethics he bridges the gap between abstract reasoning on fundamental questions and the mere expression of normative convictions. Laymen and professional ethicists alike will learn from his sensitive analyses and creative solutions of contemporary ethical problems."

The triggering role of sense-perception. Any additional comments? The author is fab.

Freud et son héritage sont si présents dans notre société contemporaine que l'inconscient, le complexe d'Œdipe ou l'acte manqué sont des concepts utilisés dans la vie courante et finalement peu remis en cause. Cette rencontre de deux penseurs aux vues divergentes laisse place au libre examen de la psychanalyse, dans sa pratique actuelle comme dans ses fondements, pour nous offrir une réflexion passionnante, claire et pénétrante, qui sort du temps de la médiatisation pour se développer librement et intelligiblement dans le temps de la réflexion. Le présent entretien a été enregistré en public dans des conditions acoustiques très inférieures à celle d'un studio d'enregistrement et aux normes standard de Frémeaux & Associés - et ce malgré une restauration en studio. Toutefois, la pertinence des propos sur un sujet si controversé et la qualité de l'échange nous ont convaincus de mettre ce document à la disposition du public. L'intervenant , philosophe et écrivain français, né à Argentan le premier janvier 1959, commença par enseigner la philosophie à une classe de terminale du lycée technique de Caen. En 2002, il démissionna de l'Education Nationale afin de créer l'Université Populaire de Caen. Il y enseigne depuis la "contre-histoire de la philosophie" ici présentée. Michel Onfray souhaite formuler une théorie de l'hédonisme au travers de ses ouvrages, et se propose de réconcilier l'homme et son corps. Pour lui, la philosophie est un art de vivre qui permet à l'homme de se débarrasser de ses illusions.

On a rare visit to Athens, he meets Socrates, who questions him about the nature of his art. Socrates is especially curious about how Hippias would define beauty. They agree that beauty makes all beautiful things beautiful, but when Socrates presses him to say precisely what he means, Hippias is unable to deliver such a definition. The more Socrates probes, the more absurd the responses from Hippias become.

Versluis has distilled an immense amount of scholarship into this small volume, but its brevity is deceiving. Like the culmination to any alchemical work, Perennial Philosophy is a powerful tincture that - once imbibed - transports receptive listeners to a world in which they are part of a spiritual hierarchy that links heaven to earth. Arthur Versluis has distilled an immense amount of scholarship to produce a disarmingly accessible, lucid, and deeply penetrating study of the great philosophic traditions that underlie Western culture. Versluis concisely explains what perennial philosophy is and what it isn't. This brilliant little book, written with stunning clarity, offers an entirely new perspective on what perennial philosophy actually means and entails. This is a return to the real philosophical quest, almost entirely forgotten by the academic world: a going beyond the limited self, to experience our kinship with the greater world and the deepest levels of reality, which results in a transformation of the self and a realization of our human nature. For anyone interested in the roots of our philosophical tradition, or what a living philosophy could look like today and in the future - a philosophy that actually inspires and fertilizes culture, art, and human experience - this book is indispensable biacuaduc@gmail.com (Arthur Versluis) Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:28:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Perennial-Philosophy-Audiobook/B019SACSRA thebookvoice.com 02:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What might society look like if we were brave enough to emerge fully from the shadow of the Christian God? The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche explores this intriguing question in his 1886 work, Beyond Good and Evil. Going further, Nietzsche then asks of his "philosophers of the future" that they take on the challenge of supplying humanity with new ideals to live by. Nietzsche bases his understanding of our current morality in history and psychology, tracing its roots through to the Christian religion. He also claims that the systems of many illustrious philosophers before him are nothing more than fabrications, created only to express the unconscious drives of their authors. Although Beyond Good and Evil sold just 114 copies when it was first published, the book was never out of print in the 20th century. Nietzsche's ideas continue to be central to philosophy and are the subject of books, lecture courses, blogs, and dedicated journals throughout Europe and America. He is essential listening for anybody, anywhere, who is interested in moral philosophy. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Don Berry) Thu, 30 Jun 2016 20:21:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Macat-Analysis-of-Friedrich-Nietzsches-Beyond-Good-and-Evil-Prelude-to-a-Philosophy-of-the-Future-Audiobook/B01HSI58V2 thebookvoice.com 01:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future Author: Don Berry Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 06-30-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What might society look like if we were brave enough to emerge fully from the shadow of the Christian God? The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche explores this intriguing question in his 1886 work, Beyond Good and Evil. Going further, Nietzsche then asks of his "philosophers of the future" that they take on the challenge of supplying humanity with new ideals to live by. Nietzsche bases his understanding of our current morality in history and psychology, tracing its roots through to the Christian religion. He also claims that the systems of many illustrious philosophers before him are nothing more than fabrications, created only to express the unconscious drives of their authors. Although Beyond Good and Evil sold just 114 copies when it was first published, the book was never out of print in the 20th century. Nietzsche's ideas continue to be central to philosophy and are the subject of books, lecture courses, blogs, and dedicated journals throughout Europe and America. He is essential listening for anybody, anywhere, who is interested in moral philosophy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Ueber-Psychoanalyse-Audiobook/B019QMYL16 Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titel: Über Psychoanalyse Untertitel: Fünf Vorlesungen Autor:: Sigmund Freud Erzähler: Günter Schoßböck Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 9 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-23-15 Herausgeber: BUCHFUNK Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939) hielt die fünf Vorlesungen im September 1905 anlässlich der 20-jährigen Gründungsfeier der Clark University in Worcester Mass, Massachusetts, USA.

Members Reviews: GreatIntroduction to Aesthetics If you could sum up Aesthetics: Bolinda Beginner Guides in three words, what would they be? Clear, informative, accessible Would you be willing to try another book from Charles Taliaferro? Why or why not? Yes What about Andrea Powells performance did you like? Very good Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No, but it did make me more aware of what areas of aesthetics are interesting to me and give me ideas of what i would like to look into more. Any additional comments? As an art student, I found this a very helpful introduction on the topic of aesthetics. It covers a broad range of artistic practices, painting, literature , film etc from both western and Asian context. Best of all it isn't full of the jargon and long incomprehensible words that has kept me from reading art literature in the past. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Companion-to-Descartes-Audiobook/B00CBG1104 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: execrable What disappointed you about A Companion to Descartes? It was very boring. Not illuminating. Gratuitous and myopic scholarship. Has A Companion to Descartes turned you off from other books in this genre? Not really, but John Carriero's contributions to this volume were singularly poor, and did make question the legitimacy of this ever-growing--but steadily deteriorating---secondary literature. Have you listened to any of Annie Wauterss other performances before? How does this one compare? She is an excellent narrator. I don't wasted If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from A Companion to Descartes? Everything that John Carriero wrote. He is sooo boring. Any additional comments? Why was this written? Disastrous What disappointed you about A Companion to Descartes? Very boring. Recycled material. Obscure, aimless. What was most disappointing about John Carriero and Janet Broughton s story? John Carriero cannot make a clear point. A wave numb washes over me during the parts he wrote. Which character as performed by Annie Wauters was your favorite? None What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Extreme disappointment, and a certain bitterness towards these supposed 'experts.' Any additional comments? The narrator was dignified and good. But this was not a good use of her talents. weak content, good narration What disappointed you about A Companion to Descartes? John Carriero is not intelligent or thoughtful, and he is evasive, not to mention very, very boring. What was most disappointing about John Carriero and Janet Broughton s story? Broughton was vaguely passable, but John Carriero is not the real deal. What does Annie Wauters bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I liked her performance. It was sober and dignified. What character would you cut from A Companion to Descartes? John Carriero needs to go. Any additional comments? This book is very much not worth buying. Probably the worst book on audible This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? John Carriero's essay on Descartes was turbid and obtuse. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/What-Is-Landscape-Audiobook/B01N24LUR8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: What Is Landscape? Author: John R. Stilgoe Narrator: David Randall Hunter Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In What Is Landscape? John R. Stilgoe maps the discovery of landscape by putting words to things, zeroing in on landscape's essence but also leading sideways expeditions through such sources as children's picture books, folklore, deeds, antique terminology, out-of-print dictionaries, and conversations with locals. ("What is that?" "Well, it's not really a slough, not really, it's a bayou...") He offers a highly original, cogent, compact, gracefully written narrative lexicon of landscape as word, concept, and path to discoveries. What Is Landscape? is an invitation to walk, to notice, to ask: to see a sandcastle with a pinwheel at the beach and think of Dutch windmills - icons of triumph, markers of territory won from the sea; to walk in the woods and be amused by the Elizabethans' misuse of the Latin silvaticus (people of the woods) to coin the word savages; to see in a suburban front lawn a representation of the meadow of a medieval freehold. Discovering landscape is good exercise for body and for mind. This book is an essential guide and companion to that exercise - to understanding, literally and figuratively, what landscape is. biacuaduc@gmail.com (John R.

Members Reviews: Five Stars a totally unique book for a change, it may forever alter your perceptions Five Stars Like all of Stilgoe's work, this book is a delight to read! Not What I Expected This book is for mental excursions, glimpses of past times, and casual lectures. The lectures come from a fund of knowledge that the author must have accumulated over many years. He is a student of etymology (word history) with a shelf of old and historic dictionaries. Starting with all aspects of the lands we walk, including seashores, farm fields and bridges, he tells what they encompass and how they got their names. But he also encourages the reader to simply pay more attention to what he sees around him. Look up from your phone. Enjoy the natural wonders and ponder what man has done to alter nature. It isn't all bad. Look elsewhere for landscape aesthetic a little too academic, especially from a writer who is known about detailed about landscape. This type of discussion has been lost and dismissed in current academia, but could be of use to fiction writers. Not this book. Too philosophical; too much defense of the discipline and not enough talk about how landscapes marvel and move us. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Advanced-Quantum-Metaphysics-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B0193R5MV2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Rendition of a Favourite Book Would you consider the audio edition of Reflections to be better than the print version? This new audio version of Reflections is a great alternative for people on the move, those who just need a change from reading, anyone with little time, and people who need reading material in an audio format. What was one of the most memorable moments of Reflections? Reflections stimulates thought about a vast range of human issues, and the book also includes some useful tips on observing the human condition, both within oneself and without. What about David Aults performance did you like? Definitely when David Ault emulates different voices! If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Reflections Mirroring the Mind Any additional comments? I sometimes found judicious use of the pause button was helpful at the end of some quotations, giving me a little more time to digest what was said. review enjoyable book with plenty of wisdom but not for those not used to sufi type stories. Stories told can end abruptly. Multi-faceted collection What did you like most about Reflections? Shah writes with rare precision and lucidity. He can strip a story down to its essential elements or explain complicated concepts with deceptively simple language. What other book might you compare Reflections to, and why? One difference between Reflections and some of his other collections like Thinkers of the East is that here Shah mixes in his own stories and observations along with the work of classical Sufi Masters. Which character as performed by David Ault was your favourite? Ault's first-rate reading serves the content well. Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: Khalil Gibran rocks One of the best books i have read in a very long time. Would recommend every one to try it out. A great book! President Kennedy's 1961 Inaugural Address famous quote was taken from Khalil's "The New Frontier" poem, published in 1925.

Title: Does Santa Exist? Subtitle: A Philosophical Investigation Author: Eric Kaplan Narrator: Sean Runnette Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-16-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Metaphysics isn't ordinarily much of a laughing matter. But in the hands of acclaimed comedy writer and scholar Eric Kaplan, a search for the truth about old St. Nick becomes a deeply insightful, laugh-out-loud discussion of the way some things exist but may not really be there - just like Santa and his reindeer. Even after we outgrow the jolly fellow, the essential paradox persists: There are some things we dearly believe in that are not universally acknowledged as real. In Does Santa Exist?, Kaplan shows how philosophy giants Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein strove to smooth over this uncomfortable meeting of the real and unreal - and failed. From there he turns to mysticism's attempts to resolve such paradoxes. Finally, he alights on comedy as the ultimate resolution of the fundamental paradoxes of life. Kaplan delves deeper into what this means, from how our physical brains work to his own personal confrontations with life's biggest questions: If we're all going to die, what's the point of anything? What is a perfect moment? What can you say about God? Or Santa? Critic Reviews: "Eric Kaplan's Does Santa Exist? is the funniest book of philosophy since... well, ever."

(Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons) Members Reviews: A blast at cocktail parties I was intrigued by the opening storyline of this book. A mother cancels a playdate at the zoo because she is afraid that while looking at the reindeer a conversation about Santa will begin, and she doesn't want her son to know that there is no Santa. If this were to happen to me I would boil over with anger and resentment. Eric Kaplan is a better person than I am however, and after this happened to him he decided to write a book that would help him come to understand this mother better. There is little in philosophy that this book doesn't cover. The buddha, kabalism, as well as christianity all get tied up in the Santa conspiracy. The author would be a blast at cocktail parties; all sorts of intellectual challenges with laugh out loud humor made the book very entertaining. There is a section on comedy as a philosophy, an argument I had not heard before. I will probably always feel that anyone who portrays Santa as anything other than make believe is doing more harm than good. This book is probably the best argument out there as to why I'm wrong. Sucked Worst book I have ever read. The title has nothing to do with the content. I still have no clue what this book is about. He rambles on jumping from one idea to the other. I wanted to poke my eyes out. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Robustness-Audiobook/B077DH2RLR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Robustness Subtitle: Building a Less-Fragile World Author: Nicolas Pujol Narrator: Austin Vanfleet Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-17 Publisher: LN2MEDIA Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Robustness is the ability to deal with stress tests, to act with courage, and to accomplish the necessary while there is time. We live in a world of deficiencies and excesses, and the only miracle - life - exists thanks to balance. This equilibrium is fragile: Humanitys almightiness threatens to destroy it. Processed foods give us more empty calories than ever before, but fewer nutrients. Life expectancy lengthens, but available time shortens. We receive notifications and interruptions, reducing our ability to focus, to pursue deep work, and to prioritize. Instead of concentrating five hours at a time, we are invited to switch every five minutes. The challenges of carving freedom, calibrating quantities and allocating time have existed at least since the writings of Hippocrates and Seneca over 2,000 years ago, and later on in the works of Paracelsus and Nietzsche. Modernity amplifies the phenomenon, but is not the issue. It is how we approach life. These are the challenges we discuss in Robustness, by combining disciplines often seen as opposites: passion and rationality, freedom and determinism, epicureanism and caloric restriction, metaphysics and physiology, statistics and life stories - not choosing between one or the other, but using both. While popular ideologies paint the world in black or in white, the world needs truth. Robustness embarks the listener on a hedonist manifesto, a joint venture reconciling the divided domains of science and philosophy. The project took Nicolas Pujol to libraries, to research labs meeting scientists, to unexpected encounters with adventurers on volcanoes, and to learn the methods and poignant stories of Robert Marchand, the oldest athlete on the planet. This audiobook is for life enthusiasts: fitness and sports practitioners; epicureans who like to experiment, to taste all flavors with all senses; and those who want to live without indifference, conscious that because life isn't fair, only we can make it more so. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Nicolas Pujol) Tue, 14 Nov 2017 06:43:49 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Robustness-Audiobook/B077DH2RLR thebookvoice.com 06:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I absolutely loved this book Wow, I absolutely loved this book! It is so full of useful information. I am always trying to feel better myself and this book definitely helped me with that goal. I felt energized, supported, hopeful, and excited as I read through each page because Nicolas Pujol has so many positive insights and tools on becoming a more healthy person. Nicolas clearly wants the reader to succeed in all aspects of life, including longevity. He references several people like Nassim Taleb, Nietzsche, Seneca, Joseph Campbell and he quotes them so that the readers can understand their thoughts. There are also results given throughout the book from studies on the different habits. Those studies on certain habits can teach us a lot right there. This book has a wealth of knowledge in it and I know I will continue to refer to it to stay positive and motivated. I highly recommend it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Good-Life-Audiobook/B015QGU7SW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Good Life Subtitle: Philosophy from Cradle to Grave Author: Mark Rowlands Narrator: Ric Jerrom Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 11-05-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Myshkin was born on a certain day and died on a certain day - and some things happened to him in between. These things presented him with ethical questions, and this book is a record of his attempt to answer those questions. Discovered by his son after Myshkin's death, A Good Life is one man's reckoning with the life he has led and the choices he made. It is at once a philosophical handbook for living and a pause-resisting narrative. A Good Life is one man's life (birth, death, education, religion, morality, illness and so on) told through a philosophical lens. It is a riveting examination of the ethical questions we face and the decisions we must make and a defence of the idea that at the beating heart of morality we find love. And it is written with the conviction that, on their own, moral rules and principles are childish things - risible and easily refuted. It is only a life in its entirety that can be morally judged. A Good Life is sometimes profoundly funny, sometimes deeply serious. It is as listenable as a novel and as provocative as the best philosophy. It is the finest work to date by a charming and brilliant thinker. Mark Rowlands was born in Newport, Wales. He is a professor of philosophy at the university of Miami and the author of 16 books, including the best-selling The Philosopher and the Wolf, also published by Granta. His books have been translated into more than 20 languages. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Mark Rowlands) Thu, 05 Nov 2015 17:09:29 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Good-Life-Audiobook/B015QGU7SW thebookvoice.com 12:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great work with one minor flaw Interesting book on the nature of morality with just one complaint: The switch between the text and the footnotes was a bit muddled. A trying listen!!! What disappointed you about A Good Life? I found this very boring - with nothing to redeem it. I persisted in listening but the book offered nothing, no insights, no interesting stories......my only experience of listening/reading that feels a waste of my time. What will your next listen be? Not sure, but a book that has already had some reviews. Would you be willing to try another one of Ric Jerroms performances? Possibly, hopefully he will be a little more discerning of what he chooses to narrate. You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities? I wanted to find some, but found none. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/We-Hold-These-Truths-Audiobook/B009POKWFK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: We Hold These Truths Subtitle: Understanding the Ideas and Ideals of the Constitution Author: Mortimer J. Adler Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Mortimer Adler devoted a lifetime to studying the great ideas of Western culture and explaining even the most difficult concepts to the average citizen, earning Time magazines praise as a "philosopher for everyman". In We Hold These Truths, Dr. Adler caps his lifes work by illuminating the ideas and ideals that have made the United States of America a truly unique nation in the annals of history. The ideas Adler examines include those at the core of the Declaration of Independence: human equality, inalienable human rights, civil rights, the pursuit of happiness, and both the consent and dissent of the governed. These are the ideas that form the basis for justice, domestic tranquility, the common defense, the general welfare, and the blessings of liberty - the ideals that are found in the preamble to the Constitution and which bind us together as a nation and a people. Mortimer J. Adler (1902-2001), American philosopher, educator, and popular author, was chairman of Encyclopaedia Britannicas board of editors, the founder and director of the Institute for Philosophical Research, and an honorary trustee and founder of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. Critic Reviews: "The most succinct, accessible publication about the Constitution." (Wall Street Journal) "Jeff Riggenbach...does his duty...[reading] in a clear, pleasant voice."

These are the ideas that form the basis for justice, domestic tranquility, the common defense, the general welfare, and the blessings of liberty - the ideals that are found in the preamble to the Constitution and which bind us together as a nation and a people.

Title: The Voyage of Unknowing Subtitle: Nicholas of Cusa On Learned Ignorance Author: David Christopher Lane, Andrea Diem-Lane Narrator: Paul Stefano Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-17 Publisher: MSAC Philosophy Group Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: I first encountered the mystical logic of Nicholas of Cusa when I read S.L. Frank's magnificent (and underappreciated) volume, The Unknowable. I was both mesmerized and haunted by Cusa's koan-like summation of his philosophy when he wrote, "The unattainable is attained by its unattainment." As Socrates and other mystic-philosophers before him, Nicholas of Cusa had realized through mathematics and geometry that infinity cannot be comprehended by that which is finite. Thus what is the best way to "know" that which exceeds us? By being profoundly learned in our own ignorance and understanding that "unknowingness" is the only pathway before us. This volume contains two elemental writings from Nicholas of Cusa: Dialogue on the Hidden God and key excerpts from On Learned Ignorance. Both of these readings deserve a very close reading, since Cusa wrote in a compacted, yet deeply pregnant, fashion, providing an intellectual landscape of precious jewels of inquiry. I have now read Nicholas of Cusa for nearly four decades and each time I find something new to contemplate. We have bookended Cusa's two selections with essays that were deeply influenced by his thinking. The first is entitled "The Mystical Dimension" and demonstrates that even as science progresses over time, there will still remain a "Mystery" given the limits of our cranial capacities and given the parameters of the universe's spatial and time specific dimensions. The second essay, "The Cerebral Mirage", is by Professor Andrea Diem and touches upon neuroscience and evolution, illustrating how easy it is for us to be deceived not only by others but also by the very make-up of our neurology. In this regard, we must be keenly aware not to confuse our present brain state (and what it conveys via its filtration system) with absolute reality. Simply put, don't confuse map-making with the actual territory itself. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Christopher Lane) Thu, 26 Jan 2017 10:11:33 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Voyage-of-Unknowing-Audiobook/B01N6UCI2G thebookvoice.com 01:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Wisdom of Mark Twain The book gives a great overview of the unique and accurate wit of Mark Twain. It is great because it is in short story type format and you can enjoy each section in the short haul. The way he speaks gives a feel of being in his time and his area of the country. He has such an interesting perspective on life. Some of the statements he makes are not only witty but stimulate your thinking to look at things in a different way. A good read you can read now and then or straight through. Disappointed Since I like the stories written by Mark Twain, I thought this would be a good book, but I found it to be the exact opposite for me. Mark Twain, to me, came across as being too full of himself and very boring. I only found one story in the whole book that made me laugh. As far as I am concerned, it was not worth reading. My time could have been better spent elsewhere. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Socrates-in-90-Minutes-Audiobook/B002VA8LC6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The New York Times) Members Reviews: I thought it was OK This really was a crash course on Socrates. Some poignant facts about him that you can use if you were to be asked any light questions about him but certainly not anything that you can per chance lord over anyone's head with your in dept knowledge. I like how it was brought across by the narrator and I sincerely found sections where I really did laugh out as a result of the Narrator's description and side quip at Socrates himself, minute 29 made me fall off my chair when I heard it and I literally had to call, have my sister purchase the book so we could share in a vicious laughing fit (pauses from writing the review and gives the section a second listen to see if I got the same effect... Yup... Still laughing fit)! If you want real and in dept information on Socrates and Philosophy, I would say pass, if you want a light listen with some quick information on these topics.... take a listen! I think I'll try another series There are few deficiencies in this book. First the author has a strict naturalistic presupposition and simply dismisses as wrong the philosophers who ponder the metaphysical. Secondly, the social and political climate could have been more elucidated.We always need to know to what problem the philosophers was responding. Also, there seems to be a strained bent towards homosexuality with statements such as this was quite normal before the advent of Christianity. Likewise, this is also shown in the telling of a story of Socrates being seduced but not giving in to a "fine specimen" of a man. ("How could he resist!") How that story illuminated Socrates work and life I do not know. There are a few positive points such as the author's effort in not making philosophy too dry and the inclusion of some humor. I also learned a few things about some other Greek thinkers of that time. Not a terrible book but I think I'll try another series. Excellent What did you love best about Socrates in 90 Minutes? It is very thorough for such a quick analysis. What did you like best about this story? It is an important part of our history, with parallels for today. Which character as performed by Robert Whitfield was your favorite? I liked all of them. Socrates, of course, even though it is Plato talking. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Why Socrates Matters Any additional comments? Offer more of these historic biographies. In 90 Minutes Series overview If you could sum up Socrates in 90 Minutes in three words, what would they be? aka Cliff Notes Would you recommend Socrates 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. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Thoughts-Audiobook/B01KK974G8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: truthful and real If you could sum up Thoughts in three words, what would they be? honesty matters most What did you like best about this story? the honesty, coupled with the sharpness Which scene was your favorite? the part where he's talking about skepticism, what a crock it is If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? dark lord must be served Any additional comments? i like kuzynski. he's hot bitter, cynical, never boring If you could sum up Thoughts in three words, what would they be? genius cynic rants What did you like best about this story? the part where he's ripping on door to door canvassers What does J.-M. Kuczynski bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? the authenticity that only an author can author to his works Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? the discussion of marx Any additional comments? the guy is not boring. i'll give him that. sometimes a little extreme, but sharp as a tack. witty, in a severe sort of way What made the experience of listening to Thoughts the most enjoyable? the depth of k's intellect What did you like best about this story? it was funny...at times What about J.-M. Kuczynskis performance did you like? the understated humor, the darkness beneath the lightness beneath the darkness... Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? that explanation is about 'eliminating discontinuities' or something Any additional comments? i like the 'deconstruction' of skepticism, which rang true biting, acerbic Where does Thoughts rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? top 20 What was one of the most memorable moments of Thoughts? the discussion of skepticism Have you listened to any of J.-M. Kuczynskis other performances before? How does this one compare? one of his better ones, the narration flows Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? that skepticism is a social position, not a philosophical position Any additional comments? the author is someone to keep an eye on Witty, Sedaris meets Freud meets Einstein Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, riveting, funny, cool! What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? I love the discussion of criminals Which character as performed by J.-M. Kuczynski was your favorite? When he's talking about telemarketers. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? the discussion of skepticism Any additional comments? great book, entertaining. unlike pretty much all other philosophy https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Epistemological-Borderlands-Audiobook/B07816HYVR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Excerpt from one of the chapters: I think it is important to distinguish methodological naturalism from a philosophically absolutist position, since trying to ground all things down to the empirical realm and testable realm is a practical process and doesn't necessarily mean that nothing else exists beyond what we can scientifically discern. Too often the practicality of the scientific method gets conflated with ontology, and because of this religionists and others resist the very real benefit of what hardcore reductionism has to offer. Simply put, wielding Occam's Razor or Hume's Maxim or Laplace's Dictum doesn't then mean that only simple things exist, but rather that before building any future scaffolding we make certain not to leave the ground floor wanting because of our hurried inspection. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Christopher Lane) Mon, 11 Dec 2017 04:51:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Epistemological-Borderlands-Audiobook/B07816HYVR thebookvoice.com 01:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Nietzsche: Bolinda Beginner Guides Author: Robert Wicks Narrator: Richard Aspel Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 06-28-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A deeply divisive figure, Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900) remains an enigma to this day. Infamous for his startling assertion that "God is dead", he is often misrepresented and many have sought to discredit his work. In this illuminating account of Nietzsche's life and work, Robert Wicks skilfully navigates the controversy that continues to surround one of todays most famous but least understood thinkers. Exploring the impact of Nietzsche's Christian upbringing and his eventful childhood on his beliefs, Wicks demonstrates that, far from being a nihilist, Nietzsche offers a positive and life-affirming understanding of human nature. Editorial Reviews: Author Robert Wicks provides a concise introduction to Nietzsche's philosophy. In this audiobook Wicks examines Nietzsche's rupture with God, but perhaps more interestingly, he examines the philosopher's positive outlook on life. Wicks' analysis of Nietzsche's life and works exceeds expectations and clears up some of the misconceptions surrounding Nietzsche's legacy. This recording is perfect for listeners who want to learn about Nietzsche's influence without being intimidated by the grandiosity of the subject. Richard Aspel's narration is energetic, and his enthusiasm for the subject is contagious to the audience. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Robert Wicks) Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:19:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Nietzsche-Bolinda-Beginner-Guides-Audiobook/B008DYGRAC thebookvoice.com 07:07:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I will definitely get more Bolinda guides. Complicated It's a tough listen, mostly because of terrible sound quality. The speakers "s" sounds were extremely loud and the rest of the word was very low. This needs to be equalised. Other than that it's an ok read, it does seem all over the place, especially when you listen because there's little indication as to when the reader is quoting a paragraph of text from a different document. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Tragoedie-Komoedie-Drama-Audiobook/B01N2S4VTN Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titel: Tragödie, Komödie, Drama Autor:: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Erzähler: Martin Grimsmann, Lutz Hansen Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 33 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-09-16 Herausgeber: hegel-system Grimsmann Hansen GbR Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: G.W.F.

Members Reviews: Love Ayn Rand but,,., Even she would rate this at one star. by rational and objective standards, this isucks like Russian heavy metal A dated story Ayn draws on her upbringing to present her distain for the Vietnam war, and the failure through weakness of the McCarthy and Kennedy platforms Ouch. I really enjoyed The Fountainhead and, upon finishing it, I thought, "What better way to hear more about Ayn Rand's philosophy than from Ayn Rand herself?" Wrong. While this was mercifully short, as with many authors, I am reminded here why they are paid for their stories and professional narrators are paid to read them to us: step outside the bounds of carefully crafted narrative and professional narrator, and often this is the result.

JC) Une historiographie alternative 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. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique. Cet audio est accompagné d'un document annexe se trouvant dans votre bibliothèque après achat. , philosophe et écrivain français, né à Argentan le premier janvier 1959, commença par enseigner la philosophie à une classe de terminale du lycée technique de Caen. En 2002, il démissionna de l'Education Nationale afin de créer l'Université Populaire de Caen. Il y enseigne depuis la "contre-histoire de la philosophie" ici présentée. Michel Onfray souhaite formuler une théorie de l'hédonisme au travers de ses ouvrages, et se propose de réconcilier l'homme et son corps. Pour lui, la philosophie est un art de vivre qui permet à l'homme de se débarrasser de ses illusions.

Members Reviews: Counting electric sheep A robotic reader can ruin an otherwise interesting work. It caused a dull ache between my eyes just to concentrate on the narrator's voice, and after seven grueling minutes, I was tempted to accuse Mina Sands of impersonating a human being. I am fairly certain that a computerized voice program of some kind was used. As it is, please be more discerning than I was and take a few minutes to listen to the audio sample that audible offers above. With a little patience, you'll begin to feel my pain but hopefully avoid paying anything to do so. Good information read too fast. Is there anything you would change about this book? The textbook should be abridged on tape. What did you like best about this story? The information is good. The reader needs to slow down and sound interested in the subject. How did the narrator detract from the book? I believe the narrator took away from the listeners experience. She read too fast and sounded uninterested. Do you think THINK Critically needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? If they want to sell more books I believe they need to change to speed and tone of the narration. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Learn-Wisdom-with-Classical-Greek-Philosophers-Plato-Aristotle-and-Socrates-Audiobook/B01N2VWK0E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Learn Wisdom with Classical Greek Philosophers: Plato, Aristotle and Socrates Author: Plato, Socrates, Aristotle Narrator: Katie Haigh Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-16 Publisher: Astorg Audio Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Learn wisdom with 300 quotes by the three most famous classical Greek philosophers: Plato, Socrates and Aristotle. Pupil of the great Plato, teacher of Alexander the Great, Aristotle is a massively influential figure in Western philosophy. Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold". Modern ethics are based on his ideas about virtue; his writings literally encompassed all the scientific knowledge of the time and beyond, so much that many of his findings were still considered cutting-edge many century afterwards. Aristotle also shaped modern logic, and put his mark on all subsequent philosophy and theology. We have selected for you 100 of his most profound and influent quotes, so that you can see for yourself how modern these fundamental ideas still are. Nourish your daily life with Aristotle's ethics, strengthen your thoughts with his logic, and adopt his scientific ways for a clearer life. Alfred North Whitehead once noted: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." Plato is indeed considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle. But his writings are often light, fresh and funny; it was Plato who invented the dialogue in philosophy, which make a point very easy to follow and the occasion of various scenic arrangements. Plato is one of the most dazzling writers ever known; we have selected for you 100 of his best quotes, for you to find inspiration and get acquainted with this fundamental part of our culture. Socrates is an enigmatic figure, known chiefly through the accounts of others like Plato and Aristophanes. His was one of the most brilliant intellects ever, and he devised what would later be called the Socratic method, which is a way of leading one's interlocutor to see his errors and contradictions through clever questioning before leading him to the truth. In ancient Athens, Socrates was widely known as a "gadfly", that is, an annoying insect buzzing at people's ears, because he kept questioning prejudices and contradictions; he was eventually tried and executed for "corrupting the minds of the youth". We have selected for you 100 of his best quotes, so you can decide whether this can be considered corruption, or an incredibly efficient way of learning to think for oneself. ©2016 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2016 Compagnie du Savoir biacuaduc@gmail.com (Plato) Tue, 20 Dec 2016 12:04:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Learn-Wisdom-with-Classical-Greek-Philosophers-Plato-Aristotle-and-Socrates-Audiobook/B01N2VWK0E thebookvoice.com 01:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is unfortunate that the reading is flat with little to no understanding of the content. The audio is clear, but the cadence is off. Great Information Enjoyed it. I would recommend it. It can get kind of repetitive towards the end but still well worth full listen Wasn't great. Mostly a recounting of why you would be interested in stocism rather than getting into actual stoic philosophy. good book but reading a bit fast I found the book good, with useful contain and right topics. however the reading is a bit fast and may requiere to repeat portions to get all concepts Not Ultimate, more like "here are the reasons why" This is a dandy short intro to Stoicism. It is long on why and short on how. Author takes some liberties with personal views on multiculturalism and Positive psychology in the presentation. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Contre-histoire-de-la-philosophie-61-Audiobook/B00TKU9PPC Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> Titre: Contre-histoire de la philosophie 6.1 Sous-titre: Les libertins baroques - De Gassendi à Spinoza Auteur: Michel Onfray Narrateur: Michel Onfray Format: Original Recording Durée: 5 hrs and 58 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 01-02-08 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 5 sur 5 sur 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: De Gassendi à Spinoza 7 cours de philosophie sur les libertins baroques "Une histoire parallèle de la pensée, qui réhabilite la tradition hédoniste et matérialiste ressuscitant gnostiques, libertins, baroques, Ultras des Lumières, socialistes dionysiaques, libres esprits et autres illuminés."

Critic Reviews: "Well-written, clear, and informed, they have a breezy wit about them. I find them hard to stop reading." (The New York Times) Members Reviews: A mixed bag I found some interesting information in this account of Thomas Aquinas' life. Well-written and necessarily concise, it provides a good overview of a pivotal character in the evolution of philosophy. The only down side is that the author is much too free with his almost glib appraisals and judgmental comments when a concept seems "ridiculous" to him. It unfortunately takes away the beautiful immersion that can occur when one puts themselves in the place and mindset of the philosopher. It would probably be better for the reader to be familiar with the life and works of Aquinas before reading this book. In 90 Minutes Series overview If you could sum up Thomas Aquinas in 90 Minutes in three words, what would they be? aka Cliff Notes Would you recommend Thomas Aquinas 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/-The-Wisdom-of-Confucius-Audiobook/B0764L3R8L Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Sren Kierkegaard's The Sickness unto Death Author: Shirin Shafaie Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 07-29-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Sren Kierkegaard has long been considered the father of the philosophical movement known as Christian existentialism, which focuses on the living human being. In his major 1849 work, The Sickness unto Death, he takes listeners on a journey from the human self, its spirit, despair and sin, through to faith. Kierkegaard championed the fact that the "single specific individual" was of most importance and never tired in his attempt to address the universally human concept of despair. Anyone interested in the beginnings of the existential movement will want to explore Kierkegaard's radical and comprehensive analysis of human nature. In this seminal text, we see the origins of the existential movement in modern psychology, which has influenced a great number of social psychologists, cultural critics, and artists. Although Kierkegaard insisted that it was Christianity that was the sole cure for humanity's anxiety and despair, his work continues to be widely taught in universities across the world, including countries where other faith traditions dominate. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Shirin Shafaie) Fri, 29 Jul 2016 03:28:35 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Macat-Analysis-of-Soren-Kierkegaards-The-Sickness-unto-Death-Audiobook/B01J8DNUOC thebookvoice.com 01:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/754/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great introduction to Hegel I suspect I will have the same thing to say about all of the books in this series, as they are all narrated by Charlton Heston and are similar in quality. These books are a lot of fun as they are concise, easy to understand, clear on the main points, and masterfully read. The recording is also excellent. Although my political leanings kept me from being excited about downloading a book read by Charlton Heston, I have to admit that he has a style and flair that make the books very listenable. The "European" accented readings of other philosophers by other actors are a little cheesy at first, but do help with the atmosphere. The worst waste of my time and money What disappointed you about Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel? The use of a pseudo German accent for Hegel was not only annoying but completely inept. The accent and the rhythm made these quotes practically useless. Heston was excellent. I am not sure why those who record philosophy feel the need to make the philosophers prigs. Hegel is difficult enough without providing a well paced easily understood voice for the presentation. A philosophical analysis should not feel the need to be high school drama. What do you think your next listen will be? I will serious reconsider trying any more philosophical tracts. Would you be willing to try another one of Charlton Heston???s performances? Heston in his own voice was excellent What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Anger and annoyance. Worst co-narrator of all times What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Let Heston read the quotes from Hegel as well, or at least let somebody else read those parts without a stupid, fake, German accent. How could the performance have been better? Warning: It seems that all of the Giants of Philosophy audiobooks have some sort of fake accent fetish. All parts that are direct quotes from Hegel in this book is read with a super distracting, silly accent, that is probably down right insulting to English speaking Germans. Sounds like something out of a satire movie... It's difficult to understand Hegel under good circumstances. With this reading, it's down right impossible. I found myself zoning out during the quotes and just wait until they were over and let Charlton Hestons narration (great work by Heston btw) do the summary and explanation. Any additional comments? I made the mistake of buying both this book and the Hume book of the same series simultaneously.
