Title: Just Give Up: Confessions of a Winner with Nothing to Prove Author: Mitch Vandell Narrator: Jack Nolan Format: Unabridged Length: 38 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-17 Publisher: Vandell House Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Just Give Up on projecting fantasies about yourself and pretending to live up to them. Reject setting goals and making judgments about how good you are and instead just do what you want. The only ones even taking notice are those less successful than you, are they really who you are looking to impress? Daring to fail is the new winning - doing what you want without fear of how you think people will judge you - even if that means getting a stripper in Brazil pregnant. Happiness can only come from acceptance. Stop resisting. Just Give Up and be a winner! About the Author Growing up, despite attending prestigious private schools and graduating with dual Master's degrees, Vandell could not hold down any job past the notice period. Having reached middle-age with absolutely nothing to show for it, everything he has ever attempted has been a flop. Yet, the internationally-failed author and musician describes his life as one long and constant climax. This inspired him to become a motivational speaker to teach the philosophies from his failed self-help book about achieving career success. Vandell quickly discovered that sharing his countless mega-flops and fiascoes was what motivated participants the most. The unintended result was people reevaluating their relationship with failure and achieving more by no longer being held back from giving their best, doing what they want. Not focusing on how you think people see you frees you to do what you like and find out who you are.

Title: The Contested Legacy of Ayn Rand Subtitle: Truth and Toleration in Objectivism Author: David Kelley Narrator: Scott R. Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-17 Publisher: The Atlas Society Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Ayn Rand's philosophical novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged made her the most controversial author of her age. Her works have drawn millions of fans and continue to sell at a breathtaking pace. Their impact on American culture runs from libertarian politics to the self-esteem movement in psychology to the rugged individualism of Silicon Valley and the Internet. Rand also launched a movement of intellectuals committed to her philosophy of Objectivism. While it has grown dramatically since Rand's death in 1982, however, the Objectivist movement has also fractured into rival camps whose differences over doctrine and strategy are compounded by competition for leadership and bitter accusations of heresy. In Truth and Toleration, philosopher David Kelley analyzes the conflicts that led him to break ranks with orthodox Objectivists and create an independent branch of the movement. Originally published in 1990 as a manifesto, this work has been revised as an analysis of the principles of intellectual collaboration - the terms on which intellectuals and activists can work together in a common cause. Going beyond the immediate issues, Kelley discusses the nature of individual responsibility for the spread of ideas and for their historical consequences. He offers a new argument for toleration based on a non-relativistic theory of truth. He describes the nature of tribalism among intellectuals, showing how the troubled legacy of Ayn Rand has followed a pattern similar to the not-so-civil wars among followers of other original and charismatic thinkers such as Marx and Freud. In a postscript for the second edition, Kelley reviews the growth in Objectivist scholarship and the influence of Rand's ideas over the past decade. Truth and Toleration is an engaging introduction to the Objectivist movement, its core ideas, and its central fissures.

Title: Plato: The Great Philosopher-Educator Subtitle: Giants in the History of Education Author: David Diener PhD Narrator: David Kemper Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-17 Publisher: Classical Academic Press Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Any attempt to encapsulate Plato's thoughts regarding education is a daunting task. Plato's views are many, and diverse and innumerable analyses of his thought have already been made. The attention that has been paid to interpreting Plato, however, is certainly not undeserved. Plato is one of the principal founders of the western intellectual tradition. It is nearly impossible to examine the historical development of any academic topic without, knowingly or unknowingly, addressing Plato's views. Regardless of our final assessment of Plato's educational thought, it is unquestionable that his understanding of education has had a profound impact on the development of educational theory and practice around the world for nearly two-and-a-half millennia. The study of his views is thus greatly beneficial, both as a means of examining fundamental questions about the nature of education addressed in his work, and also as a means of better understanding the historical roots of the western educational tradition.

Title: Why Worry Author: George Lincoln Walton Narrator: Paul Darn Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-17 Publisher: SAGA Egmont Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The habit of worry is not to be overcome by unaided resolution. It is hoped that the victim of this unfortunate tendency may find, among the homely illustrations and commonplace suggestions here offered, something to turn his mind into more healthy channels. It is not the aim of the writer to transform the busy man into a philosopher of the indolent and contemplative type, but rather to enable him to do his work more effectively by eliminating undue solicitude. This elimination is consistent even with the strenuous life. One writer has distinguished between normal and abnormal worry, and directed his efforts against the latter. Webster's definition of worry ("A state of undue solicitude") obviates the necessity of deciding what degree and kind of worry is abnormal, and directs attention rather to deciding what degree of solicitude may be fairly adjudged undue. In the treatment of a subject of this character a certain amount of repetition is unavoidable. But it is hoped that the reiteration of fundamental principles and of practical hints will aid in the application of the latter. The aim is the gradual establishment of a frame of mind. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont

Title: 300 Quotes of French Philosophy Author: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire, Michel de Montaigne Narrator: Katie Haigh Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 08-30-17 Publisher: Astorg Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: French philosophy has been led on by three most influent thinkers, each one bordering on literature and bringing new understandings to politics, philosophy, and religion. Michel de Montaigne is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre; his style merges casual anecdotes and autobiography with deep intellectual insights. His "Essays" are among the most influential ever written; one can recognize Montaigne's direct influence on great literary figures all over the world, from René Descartes to Nietzsche, Isaac Asimov, and possibly William Shakespeare. Two centuries after him, Jean-Jacques Rousseau keyed the modern genre of autobiography, vastly influenced the development of the Enlightenment through his political philosophy, and helped develop modern educational thought, although his book on the question outraged the French parliament so much that an arrest order was issued against him. His lifelong adversary Voltaire was a French writer famous for his wit and irony, his tools for launching vitriolic attacks on the established Catholic church, the adversaries of freedom of religion and expression, and on separation of church and state. Each one of these great thinkers has had a tremendous influence on the rise and shape of modern thought. This audiobook is a careful compilation of essential quotes summarizing their fundamental ideas, for you to get acquainted with the subtleties of their works in a practical format that will add to your culture and understanding of modern philosophy. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir

Title: 300 Quotes of Political Philosophy Author: Sun Tzu, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Niccolò Machiavelli Narrator: Katie Haigh Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 08-30-17 Publisher: Astorg Audio Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Discover the essentials of political philosophy with selected quotes from the greatest thinkers: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Niccolò Machiavelli, and the Chinese general Sun Tzu, author of "The Art of War". This careful compilation summarizes the great masters' fundamental ideas and provides you with a concise understanding of their thought and inspiring new ideas to make up your own thinking and build more precise arguments. Jean-Jacques Rousseau initiated the modern genre of autobiography, vastly influenced the development of the Enlightenment through his political philosophy, and helped develop modern educational thought. "The Prince" is the most famous of Machiavelli's works; it gives very clear, precise and realistic instructions on how to gain and maintain power, fortune, and glory, sometimes at the expense of others. Written in 1513, it is one of the most feared and hated political treatises. Sun Tzu is credited with one of the most influential military treatises ever written, "The Art of War". Countless leaders have drawn inspiration from this work, from Mao Zedong to General Douglas MacArthur. It is so powerful and straightforward that it is still influencing many domains other than military thinking, like business tactics, legal strategy, entrepreneurship, and beyond. Together, these three masters will inspire you and help you understand the essential ideas of political philosophy. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir

Title: 300 Quotes of Renaissance Philosophy Author: Michel de Montaigne, Niccolò Machiavelli, Francis Bacon Narrator: Katie Haigh Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 08-30-17 Publisher: Astorg Audio Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Renaissance was a time of tremendous intellectual activity, with breakthroughs in science, arts and philosophy. Discover its immense creativity through three of its greatest thinkers, the French philosopher Michel de Montaigne, the English scientist Sir Francis Bacon, and the Italian political thinker Niccolò Machiavelli. Montaigne is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre; his style merges casual anecdotes and autobiography with deep intellectual insights. His "Essays" are among the most influential ever written, and inspired countless great authors. Sir Francis Bacon was the first to argue for a skeptical and methodical approach in science, based on careful observation of events in nature, and founded on induction. This made him the father of scientific method, a groundbreaking turn of events at the time, and his work is still the basis of the scientific framework today. Machiavelli is the author of "The Prince", one of the most controversial political treatises ever written; it gives very clear, precise and realistic instructions on how to gain and maintain power, fortune, and glory, sometimes at the expense of others. This audiobook is a careful compilation of essential quotes, summarizing each one of the great masters' fundamental ideas, for you to get inspired and familiarize yourself with the greatest ideas of the Renaissance. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir

Unlike other work in the social sciences, which has had to rely on self-reporting or surveys, Everybody Lies primarily draws its conclusions from a far more honest and reliable source: Google search data.

Dezember 1810 erschienen ist. Gesprächsweise wird die Frage erörtert, welchen Einfluss Reflexion und (Selbst-)Bewusstheit auf die natürliche Anmut haben. Inhalt: Der Erzähler gibt sein Zwiegespräch mit einem wegen seiner Anmut bewunderten Tänzer wieder, den er mehrere Male beim Besuch eines Marionettentheaters gesehen hat. Der Angesprochene schildert ihm, wie sehr er die "natürliche Grazie" der Bewegungen der Puppen bewundert und welche Lehre er für sich daraus zieht: Es gebe eine natürliche Anmut, die sich in völliger Abwesenheit von Bewusstsein manifestiere. Der Erzähler gibt nun seinerseits ein Beispiel: Ein ihm bekannter Knabe habe in einem Augenblick der Figur des Dornausziehers geglichen, aber unter der Kontrolle seines Verstandes die Bewegung in ihrer Schönheit nicht mehr nachahmen können. Der sechzehnjährige Knabe habe diese spontane Anmut vergeblich in seinem Spiegelbild wiederzuentdecken versucht und sie durch diese Bemühung gänzlich verloren. Der Tänzer schildert daraufhin einen Bären, der Fechtstöße sämtlich pariert, ohne wie ein menschlicher Fechter auf Finten zu reagieren. Im Gespräch wird ausgehend von diesen drei Beispielen die These aufgestellt, dass entweder völlige Abwesenheit von Bewusstsein (wie der "Gliedermann" des Marionettentheaters) oder ein absolutes, "unendliches" Bewusstsein (wie ein Gott) das gewünschte "natürliche" Verhalten erzeuge. Vollendete Anmut und Natürlichkeit besitze demnach jemand, der sich entweder völlig unbefangen und unbewusst wie ein Kind verhalte, oder aber in Aufhebung der Folgen des Sündenfalls dieses ideale Bewusstsein erlangt habe. ©2017 Waldenberger Audio (P)2017 Waldenberger Audio

Title: The Living and the Dead Author: Toby Austin Locke Narrator: Barnaby Edwards Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 03-07-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Living and the Dead examines the boundaries between the worlds of life and death. The text draws upon philosophy, ethnography, literature and natural science to suggest that life and death are best understood not in opposition but as continuous tendencies acting upon one another. Austin Locke argues that the failure to give nuanced consideration to the connections between the living and nonliving devalues both life and death. In doing so, he suggests, our ability to respond to the challenges of environmental degradation, technological advancement and the dominance of economic logic depends in part on more fluid understandings of the relationship between life and death.

D'abord timidement, puis farouchement, la sociologie, ou encore l'anthropologie et l'ethnographie, prennent au cours du siècle leur indépendance face à la paternité philosophique pour créer la nouvelle dénomination des sciences sociales. La réflexion se déplace de l'individu vers le collectif, du concept pensé vers le fait constaté : méthodologie, objets de recherche ou rôle social, tout est à inventer. Johann Michel, Docteur de l'EHESS en philosophie et agrégé de science politique, déroule les sources communes, les liaisons conceptuelles et les rivalités latentes de la philosophie et des sciences sociales.

It is an essay in which Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). ©2016 Audioliterature (P)2016 Audioliterature

Title: Empiricism and Its Limits Author: J.-M. Kuczynski Narrator: Randy Whitlow Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 12-21-16 Publisher: PHILOSOPHYPEDIA Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Observation apprises us of what is, but not of what must be. It therefore does not apprise us of logical norms or of relations of logical dependence. In addition, the transformation of sensory information (pictorial) information into propositional (conceptual, non-pictorial) information presupposes knowledge of how to convert information of one kind into information of some other kind, and it therefore presupposes knowledge of logical equivalencies. Thus, not all knowledge is derived from sense-perception, even after allowances are made for the distinction between knowledge-like, but not genuinely knowledge-mediating, cognitive structures, on the one hand, and genuine knowledge, on the other. A philosophical justification is provided for Freud's profound insights, in Chapter VII of the Interpretation of Dreams, concerning the limits of iconic ideation. Wittgenstein's so-called "Picture-Theory" of language is examined.

Title: Tom Blake Subtitle: A Surfer's Philosophy Author: David Christopher Lane Narrator: J. Keith Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 48 mins Language: English Release date: 12-14-16 Publisher: MSAC Philosophy Group Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Tom Blake changed the face of surfing and has long been lauded as one of the true pioneers and innovators in the sport. Although much has been written about him and his contributions (culminating in Gary Lynch's magisterial biography of him, Tom Blake: The Uncommon Journey of a Pioneer Waterman, published in 2001), very little work has been done on Tom Blake's Einsteinian philosophy. This is a shame, since though Blake was not formally educated (he never graduated high school due to the devastating influenza epidemic that swept the world in 1918 and 1919), he was an astute observer of nature and had a deep understanding of science and its implications on such perennial questions concerning ethics, god, and the goal of human life. The essence of Tom Blake's philosophical outlook is best captured in his book, Voice of the Atom, an engaging narrative that centers on his conversations with a young nomadic wanderer named Anthony. Yet, there are also other scattered writings, particularly letters that he wrote to friends over the years, that provide a wider glimpse into Blake's thinking that are invaluable. Tom Blake was not a man of many words, but what he did write, occasionally in terse and epigrammatic phrases, are pregnant with meaning. As such, they offer us a tantalizing clue behind this enigmatic man, who in the course of a somewhat lonely existence influenced the lives of millions who mimicked Tom Blake's lifestyle, even as they remained oblivious to his reasoning behind it. This small book touches upon Tom Blake's atomic philosophy, circle of compassion, and surfing lifestyle. It also includes Albert Einstein's original 1905 paper "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy-Content", which formed the fundamental basis of Tom Blake's spiritual outlook. In addition, we have included the essay, "The Big Kahuna's Dilemma: How to Live in a Darwinian Universe", which was influenced by Tom Blake and Darwin.

Title: Incentive Theory and Motivation Author: IntroBooks Narrator: Andrea Giordani Format: Unabridged Length: 27 mins Language: English Release date: 10-28-16 Publisher: IntroBooks Ratings: 1.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This book will explain what the incentive theory really is, how it originated, how it relates to its cousin theories, and what implications it has in our modern understanding of people's achievements and the drive that leads us to do things that provide us satisfaction and well-being. Although this is a topic for the psychologists, its implications are vast and many, with economists referring to it often to design and formulate economic policies (since motivation is perhaps the prime factor in one's profession). Lastly, ending notes and conclusions of how motivation is both a biological and psychological phenomenon will follow taking into account that every individual is affected by the 'fight or flight' system, an essential part that has decided every action and decision of ours since prehistoric times.

Kuczynski Narrator: Norma Jean Gradsky Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-16 Publisher: Philosophypedia Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this brisk volume, a case is made that a value is a belief as to how one live one's life if one's psychological architecture is to retain its integrity, and a case is thereby made that intention is an operationalized value. This analysis makes it possible to distinguish between minds that do and minds that do not host selves. (Selves are minds that have values; minds that are not selves do not.) The relationship between weakness of the will and self-deception is made clear, and it is explained how it is that one can knowingly act in self-destructive ways.

Javary Format: Unabridged Durée: 3 hrs and 34 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 10-15-16 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 5 sur 5 sur 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Résumé de l'éditeur: Qu'est-ce que Yin Yang, l'emblème de la pensée chinoise ? Le sinologue, écrivain et conférencier Cyrille J.-D. Javary nous propose, à travers un récit imagé, de revenir sur cette notion longtemps incomprise de la pensée occidentale. Réponse philosophique et pratique formulée par le peuple chinois face à l'alternance des saisons, Yin Yang pose pour principe que tout change perpétuellement et nous épargne ainsi la gageure aristotélicienne de devoir penser le monde de façon unitaire. Autrement dit, une chose peut être à la fois une et son contraire, tout dépend du moment et de l'endroit depuis lesquels on l'observe. Accepter cette harmonie originelle, c'est faire des rapports inédits dans des domaines qui nous sont familiers, comme l'authenticité de soi ou la séparation des sexes. C'est s'ouvrir à une réflexion qui ne cesse pas de désarçonner nos certitudes les plus ancrées.

Kuczynski Narrator: Anjali Sarkar Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 09-06-16 Publisher: PHILOSOPHYPEDIA Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this book, each of the possible positions concerning the relationship between mind and body is clearly explained and thoroughly critiqued. It is concluded that, although mental events are identical with physical events, mentalistic statements are not equivalent with physicalistic statements. It is also shown that the way in which mentalistic statements are non-equivalent with physicalistic statements is deeper than the way in which biological statements are non-equivalent with microphysical statements. In other words, the sense in which mind and body lie on opposite sides of an "explanatory gap" is much stronger than the sense in which biology and microphysics do so.

And, if you do not need to eat animals to live a good life, then ask yourself the following, and perhaps more pertinent, questions: Is slaughtering a cow, beheading a chicken, or hooking a fish necessary? Is my palate the driving force behind my ethical values?

Title: Guide to Descartes' Meditations Author: J.-M. Kuczynski Narrator: Theo Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 30 mins Language: English Release date: 07-29-16 Publisher: PHILOSOPHYPEDIA Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this work, Descartes' metaphysics and epistemology are clearly stated and assiduously analyzed. It is shown that Descartes' epistemic foundationalism is tenable, and that his mind-body dualism is correct if taken to concern the relationship of mentalistic (mind-related) data to physicalistic data, even though it is incorrect if taken to concern the relationship of mind per se to body per se. Descartes' analysis of causation is shown to be correct, notwithstanding the copious criticism to which centuries have subjected it. Descartes arguments for God's existence are clearly stated and, thereby, shown to be masterpieces of dialectical ingenuity.

Lewis's The Abolition of Man Author: Ruth Jackson, Brittany Pheiffer Noble Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 07-29-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Northern Irish academic, novelist, and broadcaster C. S. Lewis' 1943 philosophical work The Abolition of Man is subtitled Reflections on Education with Special Reference to the Teaching of English in the Upper Forms of Schools. It is about the power of education to shape the minds of individuals and improve society (or harm it, if badly done), and encompasses everything from the scientific worldview at the time to philosophical arguments about right and wrong. At the heart of the work, Lewis condemns a contemporary trend for teaching children that values are subjective, stressing instead that for human society to flourish, people must understand that morality is, in fact, objective, and that a universal moral law exists. In writing Abolition, Lewis was leveraging his success as an author of fiction into a career as a public intellectual. National Review ranked the book at number seven in its list of "100 Best Non-Fiction Books of the Twentieth Century".

Title: A Macat Analysis of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations Author: James Orr Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 07-20-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Most likely written between 170 and 180 CE, Meditations is a remarkable work, a unique insight into the thinking of one of the most conscientious and able Roman emperors, Marcus Aurelius, who ruled at the apex of Roman might in the late second century CE. It was never intended to be widely circulated. Indeed, it was almost unknown until the 16th century. The work is like a series of jottings, written for its author's own improvement; it has no formal structure and its arguments follow no obvious pattern. Yet it has an immediacy that makes it one of the best and most accessible accounts of what is known as Stoic philosophy. Its distinctive approach, and its belief that philosophy can serve as a practical way of living a more balanced life, chime perfectly with our modern-day concerns. Meditations has won many admirers, including former US president Bill Clinton and Wen Jiabao, premier of China from 2003 to 2013.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Plato's Republic Author: James Orr Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 06-30-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What is justice? How should an individual and a society behave justly? And how do they learn how to do so? These are just some of the core questions that Plato's The Republic considers. An extraordinarily ambitious work, Republic has made important contributions to many branches of modern philosophy. The work unfolds as a series of conversations in which participants set out a number of different theories of justice, and then imagine how these theories might become reality within the political structure of a city. In examining justice, Plato investigates an enormous range of questions in the areas of ethics, politics, and even the nature of existence itself. Although written nearly 2,500 years ago, the influence of Republic is still felt today. Many consider it to be Plato's most important work, and it has played a key role in the birth and development of political philosophy, influencing the work of many important thinkers, from Niccolò Machiavelli to John Rawls.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Plato's Symposium Author: Richard Ellis, Simon Ravenscroft Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A Macat analysis of Plato's The Symposium Translated by M. C. Howatson. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008 It may sound like the set-up for a joke - "A playwright, a philosopher, and a general walk into party..." But, some 2,500 years after it was written, Plato's Symposium remains a key text for philosophers, historians, writers, artists, and politicians. Plato imagines a dinner party - a symposium - held in the Athens of the late fifth century BC. He invites seven important historical figures including the philosopher Socrates, the comic playwright Aristophanes, and the notorious military general Alcibiades. As entertainment, each guest gives a speech praising eros (human love or erotic desire). Plato then "collects" these seven speeches into Symposium. Plato often used this "dramatic dialogue," and many scholars consider Symposium to be the finest example of the technique. From this vibrant contest of words, Plato presents key philosophical ideas about love, ethics, knowledge and the fundamental nature of being. Combining a dynamic literary portrait of intellectuals at play with a series of radical philosophical concepts, Symposium continues to captivate and educate listeners to this day. You can find out more about how Plato's ideas have been challenged and applied - and how his work has impacted on thinkers in other academic disciplines - by exploring further in the Macat Library.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Gilbert Ryle's The Concept of Mind Author: Michael O'Sullivan Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 06-02-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What we think of as the "mind" is little more than an illusion. That's the provocative thesis of British philosopher Gilbert Ryle's 1949 work The Concept of Mind. Seventeenth-century French writer René Descartes, one of the fathers of philosophy, imagined the mind and body as two separate entities that combine to form a human being. This concept came to be called "mind-body dualism." Ryle set about ridiculing Descartes's idea of, as he put it, a "ghost in the machine" stating that it was "entirely false, and false not in detail but in principle...not merely an assemblage of particular mistakes. It is one big mistake and a mistake of a special kind." Ryle argues that our distinction between concepts pertaining to the mind and others pertaining to matter arise from a problematic use of language (and particularly through what he calls "category mistakes"). In The Concept of Mind, his best-known and most important book, Ryle establishes a new branch of philosophy, "the philosophy of mind." The work remains an important statement in mid-20th-century philosophy. You can find out more about how Ryle's ideas have been challenged and applied - and how his work has impacted on thinkers in other academic disciplines - by exploring further in the Macat Library.

Title: The Upright Thinkers Subtitle: The Human Journey from Living in Trees to Understanding the Cosmos Author: Leonard Mlodinow Narrator: Leonard Mlodinow Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 05-19-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this fascinating and illuminating work, Leonard Mlodinow guides us through the critical eras and events in the development of science, all of which, he demonstrates, were propelled forward by humankind's collective struggle to know. From the birth of reasoning and culture to the formation of the studies of physics, chemistry, biology and modern-day quantum physics, we come to see that much of our progress can be attributed to simple questions - why? how? - bravely asked. Mlodinow profiles some of the great philosophers, scientists, and thinkers who explored these questions - Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein and Lavoisier among them - and makes clear that just as science has played a key role in shaping the patterns of human thought, human subjectivity has played a key role in the evolution of science. At once authoritative and accessible, and infused with the author's trademark wit, this deeply insightful audiobook is a stunning tribute to humanity's intellectual curiosity. Leonard Mlodinow received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of California, Berkeley; was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute; and now teaches at the California Institute of Technology. His previous books include War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra) and the two national best sellers The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking) and The Drunkard's Walk (a New York Times Notable Book and short-listed for the Royal Society Prize for Science Books). He also wrote for the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Critic Reviews: "Leonard Mlodinow never fails to make science both accessible and entertaining." (Stephen Hawking) "A breathtaking survey of the human mind exponentially accelerating the accumulation of knowledge, from pratfalls to ventures beyond the veil." (Kirkus Reviews) "The Upright Thinkers playfully tracks the evolution of man's understanding of the world over millions of years.... An accessible and engaging read that brings science's brilliant minds to life." (Financial Times)

Title: Give Space My Love Subtitle: An Intellectual Odyssey with Dr. Stephen Hawking Author: Terry Bristol Narrator: Joseph Cronin Format: Unabridged Length: 20 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-16 Publisher: Institute for Science, Engineering and Public Policy Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Who is the real Dr. Stephen Hawking? Is he a detached spectator seeking a mathematical description of a deterministic, objective reality out there? Or is he an embodied participant in the universe seeking to bring about a more desirable future? The timeline of the book is a four-city lecture tour the author organized for Hawking in the early 1990s (Portland, Eugene, Seattle, and Vancouver, BC). Hawking's powerful meetings with students with disabilities, officially collateral events, were remarkable. However, the greater significance of these stories of the road is better appreciated in the context of the central narrative question of the book: the nature of the universe and our place/role in it. The author, a philosopher of science (Berkeley, London), engages Hawking, his graduate assistants and eventually his nurses in what starts as a critical review of the new physics of Einstein, Bohr, and Heisenberg. The question of the limits of classical science expands to questions of the limits of all supposedly objectivist, one-right-answer ideologies in biological, socio-economic, and political realms. Is everyone really selfish? Is the world objectively competitive or cooperative? In a parallel critical review of the new philosophy of science the contributions of the author's mentors, Feyerabend, Lakatos, Kuhn, and Popper mark a parallel path to complementarity, undermining the Spectator representation of detached objective inquiry. Through his personal interactions, Hawking reveals himself as a participant, concerned with how we should live. He steers us toward a more desirable, moral future. The new post-scientific participant understanding of the universe requires a paradigm shift to a more general theory that can both explain the successes of science and yet understand them in a new way. In the more general theory, our embodied participant inquiry is understood in a new way wherein the sciences and the humanities are necessarily reunified.

Pierre BOURDIEU - Sur la télévision (1996) "L'histoire sociale enseigne qu'il ny a pas de politique sociale sans un mouvement social capable de l'imposer." Pierre BOURDIEU - Contre feux n2 (2001) Dans cet avant-dernier opus de la grande aventure de la Contre-histoire de la philosophie, Michel Onfray aborde nos philosophes contemporains qui ont marqué la scène médiatique et culturelle de la fin du XXème siècle. En réponse au nihilisme destructeur de valeurs, de nouveaux élans philosophiques naissent pour résister et tenter de reconstruire, pour proposer des modèles alternatifs. Michel Onfray présente le structuralisme et les Nouveaux Philosophes, la pensée de Bourdieu, de Deleuze et de Jankélévitch. Avec ces symboles, la philosophie s'ouvre au grand public et s'expose dans les médias, elle s'approprie la sphère intellectuelle jusqu'à créer un "gauchisme culturel", métamorphose profonde de la réalité et des idéaux politiques de la gauche. ©2016 Frémeaux et Associés (P)2016 Frémeaux et Associés
