Title: The Uses of Enchantment Subtitle: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales Author: Bruno Bettelheim Narrator: Gerard Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Bruno Bettelheim was one of the great child psychologists of the twentieth century and perhaps none of his books has been more influential than this revelatory study of fairy tales and their universal importance in understanding childhood development. Analyzing a wide range of traditional stories, from the tales of Sindbad to "The Three Little Pigs", "Hansel and Gretel", and "The Sleeping Beauty", Bettelheim shows how the fantastical, sometimes cruel, but always deeply significant narrative strands of the classic fairy tales can aid in our greatest human task, that of finding meaning for one's life.

Title: Ignorance Subtitle: How It Drives Science Author: Stuart Firestein Narrator: David Copelin Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 10-18-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 52 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Knowledge is a big subject, says Stuart Firestein, but ignorance is a bigger one. And it is ignorance - not knowledge - that is the true engine of science. Most of us have a false impression of science as a surefire, deliberate, step-by-step method for finding things out and getting things done. In fact, says Firestein, more often than not, science is like looking for a black cat in a dark room, and there may not be a cat in the room. The process is more hit-or-miss than you might imagine, with much stumbling and groping after phantoms. But it is exactly this not knowing, this puzzling over thorny questions or inexplicable data, that gets researchers into the lab early and keeps them there late, the thing that propels them, the very driving force of science. Firestein shows how scientists use ignorance to program their work, to identify what should be done, what the next steps are, and where they should concentrate their energies. And he includes a catalog of how scientists use ignorance, consciously or unconsciously - a remarkable range of approaches that includes looking for connections to other research, revisiting apparently settled questions, using small questions to get at big ones, and tackling a problem simply out of curiosity. The book concludes with four case histories - in cognitive psychology, theoretical physics, astronomy, and neuroscience - that provide a feel for the nuts and bolts of ignorance, the day-to-day battle that goes on in scientific laboratories and in scientific minds with questions that range from the quotidian to the profound. Turning the conventional idea about science on its head, Ignorance opens a new window on the true nature of research. It is a must-read for anyone curious about science.

Title: Socrates in the City Subtitle: Conversations on 'Life, God, and Other Small Topics' Author: Eric Metaxas (Editor) Narrator: Eric Metaxas Format: Abridged Length: 14 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 116 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Following the extraordinary success of the New York Times best seller Bonhoeffer, Eric Metaxas latest book offers inspirational and intellectually rigorous thoughts about the great questions surrounding us all today. The Greek philosopher Socrates famously said that the unexamined life is not worth living. Taking this as a starting point, Eric Metaxas founded a speaking series that encouraged busy and successful professionals to attend forums and think actively about the bigger questions in life; thus Socrates in the City: Conversations on Life, God, and Other Small Topics was born. This book is for the seeker in all of us, the collector of wisdom, and the person who asks, What if? Within this collection of original essays that were first given to standing-room-only crowds in New York City are serious thinkers taking on Life, God, Evil, Redemption, and other small topics. Luminaries such as Dr. Francis Collins, Sir John Polkinghorne, N. T. Wright, Os Guinness, and Peter Kreeft have written about extraordinary topics vital to both secular and Christian thinking, such as Making Sense out of Suffering, Can an Atheist Be a Good Citizen?, and How Good Confronts Evil: Lessons from the Life and Death of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. No question is too bigin fact, the bigger, the harder, the more complex the better. These essays are both thoughtprovoking and entertaining, because nowhere is it written that finding answers to lifes biggest questions shouldnt be exciting and even, perhaps, fun.

Title: Emerson, Thoreau, and the Transcendentalist Movement Author: The Great Courses Narrator: Professor Ashton Nichols Format: Original Recording Length: 12 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-13 Publisher: The Great Courses Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 112 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The America we know today is so different in its fundamental views about almost every aspect of life as to be unrecognizable to our countrymen of two centuries ago. On issues as divergent as slavery, women's rights, education, the environment, and many others, we are simply no longer the country we were. What is the source of not only these changes, but of our distinctly American way of experiencing ourselves-confident in our value as individuals, certain of our ability to discover truths, self-reliant in the face of uncertainty and change? Answers to questions like these and so many more are found in and around Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, which became, little more than five decades after the American Revolution, the epicenter of a profoundly influential movement that would make possible the America we know today. That movement was Transcendentalism-the subject of an extraordinary 24-lecture series by an award-winning teacher, scholar, and journalist. You'll learn how Transcendentalism-drawing on an array of influences from Europe and the non-Western world-also offered uniquely American perspectives of thought: an emphasis on the divine in nature, on the value of the individual and intuition, and on belief in a spirituality that might "transcend" one's own experienceto provide a guide for daily living. And you'll learn how Transcendentalism's impact was rooted in the intellectual energy of two remarkable individuals: Ralph Waldo Emerson, the most important figure behind Transcendentalism in America, and Henry David Thoreau, his most influential disciple. Along with a diverse group of intellectual activists, literary figures, and social reformers, their ideas would remake America. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Title: The God Argument Subtitle: The Case Against Religion and for Humanism Author: A. C. Grayling Narrator: William Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 02-18-14 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 133 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What are the arguments for and against religion and religious belief - all of them - right across the range of reasons and motives that people have for being religious, and do they stand up to scrutiny? Can there be a clear, full statement of these arguments that once and for all will show what is at stake in this debate? Equally important: what is the alternative to religion as a view of the world and a foundation for morality? Is there a worldview and a code of life for thoughtful people - those who wish to live with intellectual integrity, based on reason, evidence, and a desire to do and be good - that does not interfere with people's right to their own beliefs and freedom of expression? In The Case Against Religion, Anthony Grayling offers a definitive examination of these questions, and an in-depth exploration of the humanist outlook that recommends itself as the ethics of the genuinely reflective person.
