Philosophy has often seemed like the castor oil of the disciplines: healthy, but never pleasurable, and best when swallowed quickly and forgotten. Will Durant’s classic The Story of Philosophy is a welcome remedy for this misconception, and—in view of the fact that it is nearly 100 years old—a remarkably refreshing one. This deluxe edition includes The Age of Faith, the fourth volume in the great series, The Story of Civilization. It covers the years 1095—the launching of the First Crusade—and 1300.

Aus der Kritik des "historischen Zeitalters" entwickelt Nietzsche das Modell, die Diätetik eines Ausgleichs, einer Balance zwischen Erinnerung, Vorausschau und einer unbelasteten Gegenwärtigkeit.

"Hört mich! Denn ich bin der und der! Verwechselt mich vor allem nicht!"(Friedrich Nietzsche: Ecce Homo)Erst für spätere Generationen hat Nietzsche eine Offenheit, ein wirkliches Interesse und Verständnis erwartet: "Wie dürfte ich mich mit denen verwechseln, für welche heute schon Ohren wachsen", schrieb er und wir fragen: Ist es nun an der Zeit für ein solches Verstehen und bietet das Medium Hörbuch womöglich den Königsweg für das "Wachsen der Ohren", um das Denken Nietzsches mit all seinen fruchtbaren Widersprüchen für das Leben zu gewinnen?

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world. The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.

Written between A.D. 413 and 426, The City of God is one of the great cornerstones in the history of Christian thought, a book which is vital to the understanding of modern Western society. Augustine originally intended it to be an apology for Christianity against the accusation that the Church was responsible for the decline of the Roman Empire, which had occurred just three years earlier. Indeed, Augustine produced a great amount of evidence to prove that paganism was responsible for this event. However, by the time the work was finished, the book had taken on a larger theme.

Richard David Precht widmet sich den großen Vordenkern der Moderne: Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Sigmund Freud, Martin Heidegger, Max Horkheimer, Ludwig Wittgenstein u. v. a. Die Moderne provoziert die Philosophie! Der Raum als feste Größe der Physik verliert an Bedeutung, die Frage, was Materie ist, erscheint auf einmal erstaunlich unklar. Ebenso unklar ist die Frage, was Leben ist, und auch das Bewusstsein wird zunehmend zum Rätsel. Mit Sigmund Freuds Psychoanalyse übernimmt das Unbewusste die Herrschaft über den Menschen und fordert die altehrwürdige Vernunftphilosophie heraus.

In this elegant work, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander's overlooked legacy to modern science.

For the ancients, everything worth pursuing in life flowed from a strong sense of justice—or one’s commitment to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult. In order to be courageous, wise, and self-disciplined, one must begin with justice. The influence of the modern world often tells us that acting justly is optional. Holiday argues that that’s simply untrue—and the fact that so few people today have the strength to stand by their convictions explains much about why we’re so unhappy.
