In Albert Einstein, Jasmine Dyggan explores the defining breakthroughs and moments that made Einstein an icon—not just of science, but of human intellect and courage. With clarity and depth, this book delves into Einstein’s groundbreaking theories, including special and general relativity, quantum theory, and E=mc², tracing how these radical ideas not only transformed physics but redefined our understanding of reality itself.

Konfuzius war ein chinesischer Philosoph zur Zeit der Östlichen Zhou-Dynastie. Er lebte vermutlich von 551 v. Chr. bis 479 v. Chr. und wurde unter dem Namen Kong Qiu in der Stadt Qufu im chinesischen Staat Lu (der heutigen Provinz Shandong) geboren, wo er auch starb. Das zentrale Thema seiner Lehren war die menschliche Ordnung, die seiner Meinung nach durch Achtung vor anderen Menschen und Ahnenverehrung erreichbar sei.

Hölderlin war niemals verrückt. In der Konsequenz des Leben-und-besingen-Müssens einer eigentlichen Lebensbejahung, der Annahme des Leides und des Glaubens an die göttliche und liebende Grundstimmung der menschlichen Seele, musste Hölderlin von seinen Mitmenschen, insbesondere von seiner Mutter, für verrückt erklärt werden. Er hat das Angebot angenommen.

Was Rilke mit anderen "offenen Quellen" dieser Geistesströmung, wie Nietzsche, Heine, Kierkegaard und Hölderlin gemeinsam hat, ist das Vertrauen in den Menschen, ohne das der Mut zur Redlichkeit, zu einem unverstellten Glauben niemals möglich wäre. Das existenziell-philosophische Lebensverständnis Rilkes in enger Verbindung mit Bildern seines Lebens anzudeuten, soll in diesem Hörbuch versucht sein.

Solange man Schach spielt, ist man auf Züge angerichtet, die auf den Gegner gerichtet sind. Das ändert sich, wenn man sich nicht mehr über die Partie, sondern über das Spiel selbst Gedanken zu machen beginnt.

Este sfârșitul anului 1932. Trei prieteni reuniți la faimoasa cafenea Bec-de-Gaz de pe rue Montparnasse din Paris dezbat aprins în timp ce își sorb cocktailul de caise. Detaliu care, la o primă vedere, ar putea părea o simplă anecdotă, dacă nu ar fi prilejuit nașterea unui sistem filozofic care a marcat istoria intelectuală a secolului XX: existențialismul. Cei trei prieteni sunt Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir și Raymond Aron, iar episodul întâlnirii lor dă tonul acestei admirabile relatări, care ne poartă pe urmele celor mai importanți făuritori de idei filozofice ai veacului trecut.

Was geschieht, wenn wir Kant nicht mehr als marmornes Denkmal, sondern als lebendigen Menschen lesen? Diese Frage bildet den Kern dieses Buches. Immanuel Kants Philosophie war niemals dazu bestimmt, als unverrückbares Dogma verehrt zu werden. Sie war ein kritisches Projekt, ein Versuch, die Grenzen der Vernunft sichtbar zu machen und Werkzeuge für weiteres Denken zu schaffen.

Before mindfulness apps. Before lo-fi beats to study to. Before every self-help book told you to “let go”… There was Alan Watts. This book isn’t a lecture. It’s a vibe. Everything Is Fine, Actually is a chilled-out journey through the life and mind of a man who didn’t care about enlightenment points — just clarity, laughter, and presence. From his British roots to his West Coast evolution, Watts preached the art of not trying, the illusion of the ego, and the sacred joke of existence.

Voltaire n’a pas été l’homme d’un système. Il a été le trouble-fête d’un siècle brillant et faux. Ce qu’il reste de lui n’est pas un modèle à imiter, mais une tension à reprendre : penser sans plaire, contredire sans cesse, et surtout ne jamais devenir ce que l’on dénonce.

He didn’t rule an empire. He didn’t fight a war. He just had an idea — that the world could be better if everyone just played their part. This is the story of Confucius — not as a saint, not as a symbol, but as a man trying to fix a broken world with virtue, obedience, and a whole lot of ritual bowing. Through chaos, rejection, and endless lectures, he built a moral system that outlived dynasties and became the software of an entire civilization. But what did it cost? This isn’t worship. This isn’t a takedown. This is a biography told with open eyes.

He was sick, alone, and laughed at by every polite thinker of his day. Then he broke the world. This is the life and madness of Friedrich Nietzsche — the man who declared God dead, tore morality out by the roots, and invented the Übermensch before collapsing in a foreign street, hugging a horse and signing letters as Dionysus. Nietzsche: The Man Who Saw Too Much is a mind-melting biography of the firebrand who rewired philosophy from the ground up.

I korte tekststykker, der fortæller om samtiden og den betydning de fik for den, portrætterer Stefan Zweig to af det 19. århundredes helt store personligheder - den russiske forfatter Fjodor Dostojevski og den tyske filosof Friedrich Nietzsche. Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) var en østrigsk forfatter, dramatiker og journalist. Han voksede op i Wien i et velhavende, jødisk hjem, studerede filosofi og litteraturhistorie og blev som ung forfatter del af de avantgardistiske kredse. I 1920'erne og 30'erne var han en af Europas førende forfattere.

Après avoir retracé la genèse de l'islam au VIIe siècle en Arabie et la formation des grandes écoles de droit musulman aux VIIIe et IXe siècles, l'auteur met en lumière l'influence de la philosophie grecque sur la pensée islamique et la manière dont ces penseurs ont façonné un dialogue entre théologie, droit et métaphysique. L'ouvrage souligne le rôle essentiel de ces penseurs dans la transmission et la circulation des idées entre l'Orient et l'Occident au Moyen Âge, témoignant de la richesse et de la complexité de cette tradition philosophique et spirituelle.

Socrates was not a teacher. He wasn’t a guru, a prophet, or a preacher. He was a barefoot stonecutter who wandered the streets of Athens asking uncomfortable questions — and refusing to stop when the answers didn’t make sense. This is the story of the philosopher who left no writings behind but changed the trajectory of human thought forever. From his youth in the bustling Agora to his final moments with the hemlock cup in hand, this book follows the man, the method, and the madness of Socratic philosophy — not as a subject of study, but as a way of life.

Fondée en 306 av. J.-C., l'école d'Épicure – appelée aussi le Jardin –, était un véritable havre de paix et de convivialité, où l'amitié occupait une place centrale.

Car les maximes d'Épicure, courtes et faciles à mémoriser, nous accompagnent encore aujourd'hui et nous guident vers une existence libre et harmonieuse.
