In fünf Kapiteln nimmt uns Kornfield mit auf eine Reise durch verschiedene Genres und Kulturen. Jede Geschichte hat eine zentrale Botschaft: Sie zeigt, wie wir in schwierigen Zeiten inneren Frieden, Mitgefühl und Stärke finden können. Dabei geht es um die großen Themen des Lebens: Liebe, Verlust, Schmerz, aber auch die Herausforderungen unserer heutigen Welt, wie die Klimakrise.

Der Sozialpsychologe Jonathan Haidt zeigt: Die Antwort liegt in unserer Moral – die weit weniger auf Rationalität und Logik gründet als auf Intuition und Sozialtrieb. Moral bringt uns dazu, individuelle Interessen zu überwinden und mit anderen zu kooperieren; zugleich aber macht sie uns blind für die Perspektiven anderer Gruppen. So haben sich im Lauf der Evolution und Geschichte zwischen Gemeinschaften und Kulturen sehr unterschiedliche moralische Intuitionen herausgebildet.

Revelation of God — Volume I opens a rational philosophical exploration into the nature of consciousness, free will, and human responsibility. Rather than approaching these questions through belief or doctrine, this audiobook examines them through structure, causality, and awareness. This volume challenges the assumption that the world we perceive is ultimate reality. It explores why consciousness is not simply a product of the brain, how choice operates within lawful constraints, and why responsibility marks the maturity of awareness.

In Genealogia della morale, Friedrich Nietzsche conduce un'indagine radicale sulle origini dei valori morali, mettendo in discussione l'idea che essi siano eterni e universali. Attraverso un'analisi storica e psicologica, l'autore mostra come la morale dominante nasca dal risentimento e dalla volontà di rivalsa dei deboli, che trasformano l'impotenza in virtù. I concetti di colpa, coscienza e sacrificio vengono interpretati come strumenti di controllo e di repressione degli istinti vitali.

Individual liberty rarely vanishes overnight. It erodes gradually—quietly, incrementally, and often in the name of good intentions. In The Forbidden Idea, Mark A. Monoscalco challenges the assumptions that have shaped modern political and economic thought, arguing that human flourishing depends on unfettered minds and voluntary cooperation—not coercion, central planning, or wealth redistribution.

Freedom Without Blood is a philosophical and ethical exploration of how modern society justifies suffering in the name of religion, law, and tradition. This work examines the hidden mechanisms through which institutions protect beliefs and structures while real victims—human and animal—are left without a voice. It does not attack faith, but questions the moral systems that normalize pain, silence responsibility, and redefine obedience as virtue.

From the seclusion of the mountains, Yamamoto Tsunetomo dictates the uncompromising essence of the warrior spirit to the scribe Tashiro Tsuramoto. Hagakure transcends the combat manual to become a spiritual guide on the absolute loyalty and mental discipline of the Nabeshima clan. This work teaches that accepting the inevitable end liberates man from fear, allowing for pure action without hesitation.

Exploring the roots of military ethics, this third edition furthers author Shannon French's argument that modern troops need a code to shield their humanity as they endure the horrors of war, including updated first and last chapters addressing the need for warrior codes throughout history and in today's military climate.

Nella Città degli uomini sta passando uno tsunami che non farà salva alcuna autorità, alcuna fede, alcuna testimonianza. Attraversando il disordine odierno, in cui vivacchia una società autistica non più rieducabile, saremo facili prede dell'illusione globale e tuffati nel Nuovo Ordine Mondiale. Procederemo costretti in un campo minato: a ogni passo esploderà un limite di sostenibilità, una trappola d'inclusivismo, un indietreggiamento politicamente corretto. Eppure sopra tutto c'è un Ordine delle cose, capace di ricompattarsi alla sintesi di ogni era.

Have Not Charity is a fascinating and profound investigation into deep and important concepts which have become obscure in modern times: sin and virtue. Alexandr Korol examines what motivates people in their actions, how goals and behaviours align, and how these are all affected both for good and ill both by virtue and by sin. He seeks to show that many ‘good’ deeds are in fact motivated by sin. This is a true modern work of ethics, in the classical sense, a guide for a better life.

In Depraved, philosopher of art Daisy Dixon takes the listener on a journey through some of the most volatile and contentious works ever produced - from prehistoric sculpture to extreme metal music, Renaissance paintings to videogames. She reveals how beautiful art can sometimes be the most insidious, and why the greatest threat might lie in our own judgements about the art we censor or condemn.

First issued in 1925, Unto Thee I Grant is a concise work of ethical instruction composed in aphoristic form. Designed for reflection rather than doctrine, it belongs to a long tradition of moral literature intended to be read, remembered, and applied across contexts. This edition presents a faithful photographic facsimile of the Fifth Printing published in December 1930, preserving the original typography, layout, and structure. The text is reproduced without modernization or interpretive revision, allowing listeners to encounter the work as it circulated in the early twentieth century.

Gretchen Reydams-Schils, a leading authority on Roman Stoicism, has carefully chosen and skillfully translated passages that exemplify the key themes of the Meditations, from everyday irritations such as encountering difficult people to existential worries such as the fear of death.

Der französische Philosoph, Mathematiker und Mystiker verdichtet hier zentrale Fragen des Menschseins: Was ist Glaube? Was bedeutet Wahrheit? Wie lebt man moralisch in einer unsicheren Welt? Diese Auswahl aus Gedanken stellt zentrale Passagen zusammen, in denen Pascal über die Zerbrechlichkeit des Menschen, die Existenz Gottes und die Rolle des Herzens neben der Vernunft nachdenkt – klug, spirituell, oft provokativ. Sven Görtz interpretiert Pascals Texte ruhig und nachdenklich – und macht ihre zeitlose Relevanz erfahrbar.

Im Jahr 399 v. Chr. kam Sokrates vor Gericht. Die Anklage war diffus: Sokrates wurde vorgeworfen, er anerkenne die in Athen offiziell verehrten Götter nicht. Er führe neue Götter ein und verderbe die Jugend. Das Volksgericht, dem 501 athenische Bürger angehörten, verurteilte ihn zum Tod. Platons Verteidigungsrede ist ein brillantes Stück Literatur. Drei Reden sind es, die Sokrates vor Gericht gehalten hat, und die in der Apologie zusammengefasst sind.
