In Beyond the Messy Truth, Jones offers a blueprint for transforming our collective anxiety into meaningful change. Tough on Donald Trump but showing respect and empathy for his supporters, Jones takes aim at the failures of both parties before and after Trump's victory. He urges both sides to abandon the politics of accusation and focus on real solutions. Calling us to a deeper patriotism, he shows us how to get down to the vital business of solving, together, some of our toughest problems.

"It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die", wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC-65 AD). He counseled readers to "study death always", and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings, yet he never treated it in a complete work. How to Die gathers in one volume, for the first time, Seneca's remarkable meditations on death and dying. Edited and translated by James S. Romm, How to Die reveals a provocative thinker who speaks with a startling frankness about the need to accept death or even, under certain conditions, to seek it out.

This audiobook discusses the history and foundation of Stoicism in detail. It also explores the three main disciplines of Stoicism as well as the modern-day gurus of Stoicism. To understand and practice Stoicism is to also understand and internalize the history of this philosophical school and to know the foundations of it. Where we are right now and who we are as a people is because of the history we have behind us. To truly become a Stoic, you must understand the great Stoics of ancient philosophy.

Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Leibniz in just one hour.Leibniz was the first great German philosopher to produce an all-embracing philosophical system. He came to the remarkable conclusion that space and time do not exist – they are mere superstitious assumptions. Only things exist and only God is able to see things as they truly are – from a perspectiveless viewpoint. Yet the infinite of ultimate objects that make up the world (‘monads’) are not material: they are metaphysical and thus not subject to the laws of cause and effect.

Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Spinoza in just one hour.Spinoza’s brilliant metaphysical system was derived neither from reality nor experience. Starting from basic axioms (assumptions), by means of a series of geometric proofs he built a universe which was also God – one and the same thing, the classic example of pantheism.

Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa - das Gespenst des Kommunismus. Mit diesen Worten beginnt ein Text, der die Welt veränderte! Er endet mit dem bekannten Aufruf: "Proletarier aller Länder vereinigt euch!"

Karl Marx's philosophical critique of capitalism and his solution of communism directly led to the formation of the communist state in the Soviet Union. Whilst this great venture has now all but completely failed, Marx’s philosophy has proved to be arguably the most influential of the 20th century; the influence of Marxism can be seen in subjects as diverse as the infamous policies of Joseph Stalin to many of the progressive humanitarian reforms of the 20th century. The audiobook is an expert account of Marx’s life and philosophical ideas - entertainingly written and above all easy listening.

A professor emeritus of philosophy at Princeton University, Harry G. Frankfurt penned a surprise smash hit with his New York Times best seller On Bullshit, which insightfully and wittily captured the human capacity for, and tendency toward, BS. Now he examines the other side of the coin with this equally entertaining and provocative follow-up.

Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Machiavelli in just one hour. Niccolò Machiavelli’s work remains misunderstood - synonymous with wicked scheming and underhand politics - nearly 350 years after his death. His philosophy of statecraft was scientific and highly rational, leaving sentiment, and ultimately morality, to one side.

Dabei erfährt der Hörer viel Neues und erhält Anregungen, sein eigenes Leben einmal gegen den Strich zu denken.

Philosophy has always been dangerous for philosophers; Friedrich Nietzsche made it dangerous for everyone. His ideas presaged a collective madness which was to ravage Europe throughout the first half of the 20th century, drawing a chilling parallel with the insanity that gripped Nietzsche towards the end of his life. His philosophy is one of aphorisms and penetrating psychological insights, his major concept being the Will to Power - a notion that he saw as the basic impulse for all our acts.

Digital Consciousness is a philosophical dialogue into the evolution of consciousness within the digital terrain and the legacy footprint on the human family. Exploring the emotional 'digital' frequency of self is a concept that Tenille Bentley has given a great deal of thought to, and some of the answers to these questions and more may surprise you. While not everyone wants to ‘change the world’ we do all have the power at our fingertips now to radically affect change for someone, somewhere, some place. Recognising this ability and harnessing how we use the internet is the basis for this book.

On a tenebrous winter morning in Denver, Colorado, Leo Jenkins felt the weight of the world crushing him. Leo has a decision to make - maintain a comfortable position in a career he's no longer passionate about - or take a massive leap of faith. Giving up everything he's ever known, Jenkins sells his business, purges every possession that won't fit into a single backpack, and sets off into the world in pursuit of answers.

For male listeners, author and professional dating coach Alan Roger Currie goes into detail explaining the difference in the appeal of an Alpha male versus a Beta male in the eyes of women and how each type of man satisfies different needs for women.

You are a four-dimensional human. Each of us exists in three-dimensional physical space. But as a constellation of everyday digital phenomena rewires our lives, we are increasingly coaxed from the containment of our predigital selves into a wonderful and eerie fourth dimension, a world of ceaseless communication, instant information, and global connection.

All of us are faced countless times with the challenge of persuading others, whether we're trying to win a trivial argument with a friend or convince our coworkers about an important decision. Instead of relying on untrained instinct - and often failing as a result - we'd win more arguments if we learned the timeless art of verbal persuasion, or rhetoric.

Cosa significa essere donna? Non alzare la voce, non ribellarsi. Obbedire al padre, al marito, alla società. Significa calma e sottomissione. Dover essere una brava bambina, poi una brava moglie e una brava madre. Eppure per qualcuna tutto questo non basta. Attraverso otto storie che spaziano dal mito alla contemporaneità, gli autori raccontano l'altra faccia della luna: e cioè come fin dagli albori dell'umanità, in saghe, leggende ed epopee letterarie, i modelli di donne forti sono sempre stati ridotti al silenzio.

Das "Tao te king" ist ein unerschöpfliches und tiefgründiges Weisheitsbuch, das auch die Menschen außerhalb Asiens unmittelbar anzusprechen vermag. Als Verfasser dieses Werkes wird Laotse vermutet, die Textkritik geht von einer Entstehung des Textes etwa 400 vor Christus aus. Die Grundidee von Laotse besteht in der Vorstellung vom Kreislauf des Kosmos, die in der Beobachtung des Einzelnen liegt und erfahrbar wird. Basis ist die unauflösbare Einheit, deren Pole Yin (das Passive, das Dunkle, das Weibliche) und Yang (das Helle, das Aktive, das Männliche) sind.

Hvad vil det sige at være menneske? Svend Brinkmann giver svar på dette spørgsmål ved at fortælle historien om den unge, introverte Andreas, der tager på dannelsesrejse gennem Europa. På sin rejse bliver drengen klogere på, hvad mennesket er for et væsen - både på godt og ondt. Han møder mennesker undervejs, som gør ham klogere på livet, men han bliver også stimuleret af at stå ansigt til ansigt med berømte værker fra Europas kunst- og kulturhistorie, der fortæller noget om, hvem vi er som mennesker.

Eres un animal. No te preocupes. ¡No tiene nada de malo reconocerlo! Por mucho que nos queramos resistir a aceptarlo, somos tan animales como el perro que se siente dueño de tu sillón o el gato que se duerme sobre el teclado de tu computadora. Sin embargo, algo nos distingue de todos ellos y nos convierte en, bueno, humanos. ¿Qué es eso que nos separa? Con letras certeras sobre la pérdida de la confianza en estos días, que nos condena a una vida tan hiperconectada como solitaria, Vico nos enseña que la amistad es importante, que compartir y sabernos parte de algo es vital.

Questo dialogo, noto anche col nome di Simposio, è il più noto fra i dialoghi di Platone. La sua struttura non è in realtà quella di un dialogo ma una successione di orazioni effettuate dagli intellettuali ateniesi, che hanno per oggetto le lodi del dio dell'Amore (Eros). Troviamo qui, fra l'altro, la famosa descrizione dell'uomo ermafrodito, che, tagliato in due dagli dei, cercherà poi nella sua vita, la sua metà mancante, grazie alla quale, e solo grazie ad essa, ritroverà il suo senso di completezza e, quindi, la felicità.

Was ist lächerlich an der Vorstellung einer Welt ohne Gewalt? Warum wird der Traum von einem friedlichen Zusammenleben als kindliche Illusion abgetan, für Frieden demonstrierende Jugendliche sogar belächelt? Arno Gruen antwortet: Weil die Kraft der Träume die Anpassung an die angebliche Realität gefährdet. Menschen werden genau dann zu Eroberern und Kriegstreibern, wenn sie Gewalt mit Lebendigkeit verwechseln. Solange diese Illusion funktioniert, wird Größenwahn für Stärke gehalten.

Das kommunistische Manifest ist wahrlich eines der bekanntesten Werke der Welt - doch wer kennt wirklich seinen Inhalt? Beim Hören wird klar, dass einiges heute überholt ist - während erstaunlich Vieles auch heute noch Bestand und Gültigkeit hat!

Franz Kafka wurde 1883 in Prag geboren. Er starb 1924 in Klosterneuburg, Österreich. Die Erzählung "Die Verwandlung" (1912) zählt zu den bekanntesten Werken Kafkas und ist ein Meisterstück symbolisch-parabelhafter Erzählkunst. Der Autor vereint meisterhaft anschauliche Sprache mit spannender Handlung und bitter-süßer Ironie.

"In allem Wissen, auch im selbstvergessenen, im Schaffen wie im Betrachten, im Streit und in der Liebe, sind die gegenwärtig, die von sich selbst wissen." Auf "Von sich selbst wissen", seinem wohl persönlichsten Dokument, gerät Dieter Henrich aus dem Gespräch heraus ins Erzählen, wie auch ins spontane Philosophieren. Im Medium seiner Stimme verlässt er die Strenge seiner Begründungen in der Philosophie und schlägt den Bogen von seinen weltweit beachteten Forschungen und Konzeptionen zu seiner Kindheit in der Weimarer Republik und seiner Jugend bis 1945.
