Theresia Enzensberger kann nicht schlafen. Also schreibt sie ein Buch über den Schlaf und folgt dabei den verschiedenen Stadien, die wir in der Nacht durchleben. So beginnt sie in der zähneknirschenden Leichtschlafphase mit einem Essay über die Moralisierung von Schlaf, Traum als politische Metapher und die Folgen allgemeinen Schlafmangels. Fast unmerklich wird ihr Text in der Tiefschlafphase privater, innerlicher, und eröffnet uns eine intensivere, persönlichere Sicht auf die Welt, die Kunst, die Literatur.

Covering interesting and varied philosophical terrain, Cycling - Philosophy for Everyone explores in a fun but critical way the rich philosophical, cultural, and existential experiences that arise when two wheels are propelled by human energy.  

Memory: A Very Short Introduction explores the fascinating intricacies of human memory. Is it one thing or many? How does memory change as we age? And what about so-called recovered memories - can they be relied upon as a record of what actually happened in our personal past? This book brings together our most recent knowledge to address (in a scientifically rigorous but highly accessible way) these and many other important questions about how memory works, and why we can't live without it. 

Combining ideas from philosophy, artificial intelligence, and neurobiology, Daniel Dennett leads the listener on a fascinating journey of inquiry, exploring such intriguing possibilities as: Can any of us really know what is going on in someone else's mind? What distinguishes the human mind from the minds of animals, especially those capable of complex behavior? If such animals, for instance, were magically given the power of language, would their communities evolve an intelligence as subtly discriminating as ours?

You wake up every morning convinced that someone is home. There is a self in there, you assume, a small steady captain at the wheel, the same one who went to sleep the night before, the same one who will sign your name and remember your childhood and answer when called. Gilles Deleuze, one of the strangest and most exhilarating philosophers of the twentieth century, spent his life quietly dismantling that captain. He suspected the wheel turns whether or not anyone is holding it. This book is a guided tour through that suspicion.

Every atom in your body has already been replaced. You didn’t notice. You didn’t stop being you. So what makes you you? It’s not the matter. The atoms in your brain right now aren’t the same ones that were there ten years ago. Neuroscience says your consciousness comes from how your brain is organized and how it functions, not from which specific carbon atoms happen to be sitting in your neurons on any given Tuesday. Mark Douglas spent decades following that observation to its logical end. The conclusion is not what you’d expect.

Modern thought treats placebo as a statistical inconvenience, a ghost to be subtracted so the “real” mechanisms of healing may stand. Yet this spectral effect may be the clearest revelation of how human reality is actually constructed. Placebo is not an accident of biology; it is the biological imprint of belief itself. This work argues that the human being is not a passive observer of the world but an active architect of inner reality. Expectation is a physiological force. Meaning modifies chemistry.

D. challenges listeners to examine racism through the intersecting lenses of psychology, trauma, history, sociology, and Christian faith.

Our ability to think abstractly is humanity’s superpower. It gave us language, art, science, and civilization. Before a wheel was built, it was imagined. Before a law was written, it was conceived. Abstraction lets us plan, create, and transcend our immediate circumstances. But this gift has a shadow. The same mind that builds bridges also builds prisons—of worry, comparison, and endless mental chatter. We fret over insults that never came, chase status that can’t satisfy, and wage wars over lines on a map. The abstract world, once a tool, has become our cage.
