This philosophical study explores the concept of the "pluri person"—the multiplicity and fragmentation of selfhood—through the lens of irony as both rhetorical strategy and existential condition. The book argues that ironic consciousness reveals the inherently plural nature of human identity, challenging unified models of subjectivity that dominate Western philosophical traditions. The book investigates how irony functions as more than a literary device, serving as a fundamental mode of being that acknowledges contradiction, multiplicity, and performativity at the core of personal identity.

Half a century after Thomas Nagel asked what it is like to be a bat, humanity is on the verge of decoding thought, simulating empathy, and dissolving the last privacy of the mind. Yet the closer we come to perfect transparency, the less we understand what it means to feel. Beyond Objectivity is Boris Kriger’s philosophical meditation on this paradox. Moving from Plato’s cave to the algorithms of Neuralink, he traces the long exile of the observer from the world it seeks to describe. Objectivity has turned into its metaphysical tyranny, a dream of knowledge without witness.

Depending on No-Thing is a clear and unsentimental look at what remains when the imagined center of “me” falls away. Robert Saltzman writes from lived experience, not doctrine. He dismantles the spiritual promises of final answers and special states, turning attention instead to the simplicity of experience as it actually shows up—without metaphysical storylines, without self-improvement agendas, without a someone behind the curtain.

What if the secret to attracting everything you’ve ever wanted wasn’t about chasing harder—but letting go? Think about it: the job offer comes when you stop obsessing over your inbox. The text finally arrives when you move on. The money starts flowing the moment you stop stressing about it. This isn’t luck—it’s the hidden power of detachment. Most of us have been taught to hold on tightly, to hustle, to cling to relationships, opportunities, and outcomes. But attachment creates resistance—and resistance repels the very things we desire.

This audiobook explores how human mentality—our ingrained habits of perception and emotional logic—shapes conflict in families, workplaces, and politics. It shows how changing the way we see can change the way we live together. At its core lies the idea of antihabitus: the capacity to step beyond automatic reactions, cultural scripts, and inherited patterns.

"Von der Kürze des Lebens" ist ein philosophisches Meisterwerk der Weltliteratur und eine der bedeutendsten Schriften Senecas. Als Teil seiner "Dialoge" gehört es zum Kernbestand der stoischen Philosophie. Mit eindringlicher Klarheit richtet sich der Text gegen Zeitverschwendung, Zerstreuung und den unreflektierten äußeren Lebenswandel. In seinem Appell zur Lebenskunst macht Seneca deutlich: Das Leben ist nicht zu kurz – es wird nur allzu oft falsch genutzt. Die Schrift lädt ein, innezuhalten, Prioritäten zu hinterfragen und sich auf das Wesentliche zu besinnen.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (ca. 1–65 n. Chr.) zählt zu den einflussreichsten Philosophen der römischen Antike. In seiner Schriftensammlung "Dialoge" widmet er sich im neunten Abschnitt der "Gemütsruhe". Als bedeutender Vertreter der Stoa zeigt Seneca, wie innere Ruhe auch inmitten äußerer Turbulenzen möglich ist. Diese philosophische Reflexion lädt ein, über Bedürfnisse, Gelassenheit, das Menschenbild in der Gesellschaft und den Weg zu innerer Balance nachzudenken – ein zentrales Werk stoischer Weisheit.

In diesem siebten Abschnitt widmet sich Lucius Annaeus Seneca – einer der bedeutendsten Denker des antiken Rom – der zentralen Frage: Wie erreicht man ein wahrhaft glückliches Leben? Für Seneca führt der Weg zum Glück nicht über äußeren Reichtum, sondern über innere Klarheit, Vernunft und Tugend. Die Schrift ist ein präzises, eindringliches Plädoyer für ein tugendhaftes, freies Leben im Einklang mit der stoischen Philosophie.

Emmanuel Kant est un philosophe allemand de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Il est le fondateur du criticisme, philosophie critique permettant de répondre aux questions : que puis-je connaître ? Que dois-je faire ? Que m'est-il permis d'espérer ? Ses trois Critiques définissent respectivement les limites de notre connaissance, le caractère indissociable de la liberté et du devoir, notre goût pour le beau et le sublime.

The Absent Qualia Thought Experiment by Paul Kell explores one of the most unsettling questions in philosophy: can a being act fully conscious yet feel nothing inside? This puzzle, known as the absent qualia problem, challenges our understanding of mind, science, and identity. At its heart is the idea of the “hollow machine,” a being that smiles, speaks, and remembers but lacks the inner glow of experience. The question forces us to confront whether consciousness can ever be reduced to function alone or if something vital is missing.

Every day, my dogs and I wander the scenic trails of our hometown. As we walk, I practice a gentle form of walking meditation—listening to the rhythm of paws and footsteps, the harmony of our breathing, the rustle of leaves in the wind, and even the occasional spirited bark from other dogs along the way.
