From the first chipped stones to the shimmer of nanostructures lighter than air, matter has always set the boundaries of what we can imagine. But today, it no longer stays silent. It resists, responds, and begins to speak—a partner in thought rather than a passive substance. Supermaterials of the Future is a journey across the shifting frontier where science, engineering, and philosophy meet.

The Artificial Mind: Thinking Beyond Machines is a rigorous philosophical exploration of intelligence at a moment when the boundaries between human and artificial cognition have become uncertain.

The art described in book is presented as the highest form of human resistance—not merely political or social, but existential. It is not just a reaction to power, injustice, or the suffocating grip of convention; it is a way of transcending them altogether. In its most authentic form, art carves out a territory that lies beyond the reach of censors, beyond the dictates of circumstance, beyond the reach of those who believe control is the same as order.

Between Emptiness and Being: The Buddha and the Western Mind is a profound dialogue between two civilizations of thought — the contemplative East and the analytic West. Where Buddhism dissolves the illusion of permanence, Western philosophy constructs systems to preserve it. Between the silence of the Buddha and the speech of metaphysics lies the forgotten middle ground where awareness itself becomes understanding.

To Know or Not to Know is a meditation on curiosity, doubt, and the fragile brilliance of awareness—a journey through the architectures of thought toward the stillness where understanding becomes reverence.

This book invites you into a realm where green life—plants, forests, moss, roots, and leaves—take on voice and meaning, forming a hidden structure that slips past the limits of ordinary perception. In this territory, plants are no longer mere scenery or passive decoration. They emerge as full participants in the world’s unfolding story. They send signals and make decisions. They remember, nurture, and maintain connections in silence. They think—but their thought is not a spark of sudden brilliance; it is a slow, continuous current.

In this rigorous and unsettling study, Boris Kriger reconstructs Georges Bataille’s vision of the sacred as a trembling border between reason and its own undoing. Moving beyond biography and commentary, the book situates Bataille’s thought within the crises of twentieth-century modernity—the collapse of transcendence, the exhaustion of eroticism, and the metamorphosis of sacrifice into aesthetics.

At the center of the book lies a question that extends far beyond the legacy of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Albert Schweitzer: whether human universality is still possible in an age built on specialization; whether a person can remain whole when society rewards only fragments; whether integrity can survive when myth inevitably replaces life. This is a reflection on the tensions between authenticity and legend, work and representation, individual destiny and the machinery of history.

This book is not here to comfort you. It does not promise hope, progress, or some tender reassurance about the nobility of the human project. It will not tell you that everything happens for a reason, or that there is meaning to be found in our collective struggle. Instead, it stands firmly within the logic of Jean Baudrillard’s simulacra—a philosophy that does not seek to reveal a hidden truth, but to diagnose the condition of our reality. We no longer live in the world; we live within our own perception of it.

What if every truth we hold began as a beautiful mistake? This book is a meditation on the nature of illusion—not as deception, but as one of the mind’s essential ways of knowing. Here, illusion is not debunked or dismissed; it is explored as a bridge between ignorance and understanding, a necessary fiction through which humans reach toward the incomprehensible.

Long praised as the pinnacle of political progress, democracy is often wrapped in symbols of freedom, choice, and justice. Yet beneath its familiar rituals lies a system vulnerable to manipulation, co-opted by hidden powers, and sustained by illusions more than truths. This book challenges the comforting narratives that shield modern democracies from scrutiny. It explores how institutions built to serve the people can be quietly steered by elites, how media and technology mask control with noise, and how conformity, not violence, becomes the most effective tool of domination.

This book explores the Hierarchy of Rationalities—a structure that moves from instinctive choices to systemic thinking, and finally to existential questions of meaning and ethics. It reveals how rationalities often collide, and how navigating these conflicts requires not certainty, but humility, creativity, and courage.

This book is a journey beyond blame, outrage, and moral posturing—into the deeper clarity of compassion, the discipline of non-judgment, and the quiet strength of understanding. Blending psychology, philosophy, and lived wisdom, it invites a new way of seeing: one that heals rather than divides, listens rather than condemns, and thinks with both heart and mind. A guide for those who long to live—and lead—with depth, honesty, and peace.

In a world transformed by artificial intelligence, the future of creativity hangs in the balance—not because machines are capable of feeling, but because they can now imitate the surface of expression with astonishing ease. This audiobook explores the cultural shift already underway, where AI does not destroy the creative act but redefines the conditions under which it must now exist.

Als Denker von tiefgreifender Originalität und berüchtigter Schwierigkeit bleibt Martin Heidegger eine der umstrittensten Figuren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein monumentales Werk „Sein und Zeit“ definierte die zentrale Frage der Philosophie – was es bedeutet, „zu sein“ – neu, während seine späteren Schriften sich mit Technologie, Sprache, Kunst und Sterblichkeit befassten. Doch seine dunklen politischen Verstrickungen sorgen weiterhin für Unbehagen und verlangen von den Lesern, sich nicht nur mit der Brillanz seines Denkens, sondern auch mit den Schattenseiten seiner Biografie auseinanderzusetzen.

In a time of accelerating crises and collapsing certainties, philosophy can no longer remain the distant pursuit of abstract speculation. It must become a way of orientation—a compass for living in a world of complexity, contradiction, and change. This book invites the listener into an integral vision of thought: a philosophy that does not impose dogma but weaves together insights from diverse traditions, sciences, and lived experiences. It shows how no single system contains the whole, yet each carries a fragment of truth waiting to be brought into relation.

The Agnostic Mind invites the listener into a journey through uncertainty—not as weakness, but as a source of strength. Moving across the landscapes of philosophy, science, and daily life, it explores what it means to live without final answers yet without surrendering to despair.

What if human life has no secure foundation—no ultimate law, no necessity, no rational guarantee? For Lev Shestov (1866–1938), the most unsettling of Russian existential thinkers, philosophy’s dream of certainty was an illusion born of fear. Against the entire Western tradition from Plato to Kant and Hegel, he proclaimed that existence is groundless: fragile, paradoxical, exposed to the abyss of uncertainty. This book presents Shestov’s thought as a radical alternative to systems of reason and necessity.

This thought-provoking book explores how consciousness, belief, and imagination shape the texture of existence itself. Moving between science and mysticism, psychology and philosophy, he reveals how inner narratives do not simply interpret reality—they participate in its creation.

Artificial intelligence can answer almost anything. The tragedy is that people have nothing to ask. Surrounded by infinite knowledge, we shrink our curiosity to absurdities: “Do you have legs?” This book is about that paradox. Not about machines, but about us—about how to learn again, how to build methods of thinking, how to cultivate curiosity before it disappears.
