Title: A Perfumed Scorpion Author: Idries Shah Narrator: David Ault Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-18 Publisher: ISF Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The "perfuming of a scorpion", referred to by the great Sufi teacher Bahaudin, symbolizes hypocrisy and self-deception: both in the individual and in institutions. In A Perfumed Scorpion, Idries Shah directs attention to both the perfume and the scorpion - the overlay and the reality - in psychology, human behavior and the learning process. Crammed with illustrative anecdotes from contemporary life, the book is nevertheless rooted in the teaching patterns of Rumi, Hafiz, Jami, and many other great Oriental sages. It deals with the need for and the path to knowledge and information.

M. Publishing Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this guidebook, you are going to learn some of the basics that are needed to follow the Stoic philosophy. This may seem like an ancient philosophy, one that you do not need to waste your time on, but it has a lot of meaning and value today. This guidebook will give you some of the basics that you need to know to add some more Stoicism into your own life.

This may seem pretty basic to work with, but it is counterintuitive to what you may be used to in the past, and it will take some time to do well with it. When you are ready to become a Stoic and reach the true happiness that this philosophy promises, make sure to check out this guidebook and learn some of the basics about how this school of thought works.

Title: On the Ends of Good and Evil Author: Marcus Tullius Cicero Narrator: Derek Le Page Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-17 Publisher: Ukemi Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Towards the end of his life and his career as one of the leading politicians and orators in Rome, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BCE-43 BCE) was exiled to his country house. It was a time of political turmoil in the capital of the empire, caused by the power-grab of Julius Caesar. In the quiet of the countryside, Cicero began to write on philosophy. In On the Ends of Good and Evil, he set out to consider three major traditions of Greek philosophy - Epicureanism, Stoicism and a branch of Platonism proposed by Antiochus of Ascalon (promoting 'the happy life'). Using a form of the dialectical approach established by Plato in his Socratic Dialogues, Cicero introduces characters who propose each tradition, and then Cicero himself responds with a critical appraisal - a stimulating and engaging pattern. De finibus bonorum et malorum (meaning also the 'final or ultimate aim' of good and evil) is a fascinating document. And, as suiting a man of the world (which Cicero clearly was), he comes to a preferred conclusion after surveying the three traditions. Interestingly, the work opens with an introductory passage in which Cicero explains why he is writing a work such as this, giving an intriguing insight into his time. In Rome, he explains, the study of Greek philosophy was the preserve of Romans who read Greek, and translations of the originals into Latin were frowned upon by scholars. Cicero felt this lofty attitude should not be the case. The wisdom of the past should be open to everyone, he argues, and he proceeds to summarise the Greek philosophic traditions and offer critiques for the benefit of his fellow Roman citizens. Translation by H. Harris Rackham.

Title: Tales of the Dervishes Author: Idries Shah Narrator: David Ault Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 11-30-17 Publisher: ISF Publishing Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Although enormously attractive as sheer entertainment, Dervish tales were never presented merely on the level of a fable, legend, or folklore. They stand comparison in wit, construction, and piquancy with the finest stories of any culture, yet their true function as Sufi teaching stories is so little-known in the modern world, that no technical or popular terms exist to describe them. The material in Tales of the Dervishes is the result of a thousand years of development, during which Dervish masters used these and other teaching stories to instruct their disciples. The tales are held to convey powers of increasing perception unknown to the ordinary man.

Title: The World as Will and Idea, Volume 3 Author: Arthur Schopenhauer Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 08-17-17 Publisher: Ukemi Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this final part to Schopenhauer's momentous and hugely influential work, his original and wide-ranging observations are as lively as ever. Though cast as a 'pessimist' by history, he is anything but that to read - and listen to. Here are the last supplementary comments his original work (published 1818), the fruit of decades of further reflection. These essays - some fairly substantial - include 'On Instinct and Mechanical Tendency', 'On Genius', 'On Madness', 'The Inner Nature of Art', 'The Metaphysics of Music', 'The Metaphysics of Love of the Sexes', and 'The Way of Salvation'. This translation by Haldane and Kemp omitted - for reasons of 'modesty' - a fascinating essay 'On Pederasty'. This has now been translated and read by Leighton Pugh and included here, offering a truly complete recording of Schopenhauer's opus magnus. And once again it is clear why Schopenhauer influenced a wide range of philosophers, writers and artists over the succeeding generations, including Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett and many others.

Title: Stoicism: A Beginner's Guide to the Ancient Art, History and Wisdom of the Stoic Philosophy Author: Elizabeth Nash Narrator: Verity Burns Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 08-14-17 Publisher: Elizabeth Nash Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Stoicism is one philosophy that is not just theoretical in nature. It is something that you learn to adopt into your everyday life; its ancient wisdom is more relevant than ever today. Dating back to around 300 BC in Athens, Stoicism was initially developed by Zeno of Citium. The essence of the philosophy is one of using grit and self-control as ways of overcoming destructive emotions. Despite the modern perception of the word Stoic, this does not mean to eliminate all kinds of feelings from your life. The goal, rather, is to transform your emotions. Stretching from the Hellenistic period to the 21st century, Stoicism has not lost its practicality in dealing with the problems of life, incorporating logic, self-dialogue, and meditation designed to keep your attention fixed on the present moment. It ensures a firm and consistent way of life that focuses on the choices you make so that failure ultimately leads to more success. For anyone new to the Stoic philosophy, let this book guide you through everything you need to know in one easily accessible yet comprehensive introduction, from its origin and history to the core beliefs and principles. Most importantly, Stoicism: A Beginner's Guide to the Ancient Art, History, and Wisdom of the Stoic Philosophy focuses on why Stoicism is relevant to your life today.

Does giving up God mean giving up morality, or can we finally live a peaceful and fulfilling life as atheists by following science and reason instead? Anthropologist Christopher Hallpike has spent a lifetime's research on the morality and religion of different cultures around the world and shows that trying to base a moral life on atheism and science actually has some very nasty surprises in store for us.

"To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school. It is to solve some of the problems of life not only theoretically, but practically." (Thoreau) Stoicism is a branch of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the third century BC, though it was made popular by practitioners such as Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca. The philosophy primarily espouses that virtue (wisdom) alone leads to happiness, and that we don't have the power control all external circumstances though we can control our responses. The central tenets of stoicism are that the world is full of unpredictable circumstances that are beyond our realm of control or influence. It teaches us the fragility of life and how quickly situations can change. Stoicism isn't about being devoid of emotions. It is about being steady, strong, and controlled in the face of circumstances that aren't in our control. Contrary to popular perception that stoicism is about being emotionless, it simply asks a person to not let their emotions enslave them. Stoic philosophy is about not letting your emotions ride rational thought. It is about controlling passionate reactions in the face of adversity. According to stoicism, the fundamental cause of our discontentment is our impulsive reliance on reflexive reactions than logic. When we let emotional or passionate reactions rule out rational thinking, we pave the way for greater adversity. Unlike other more complicated and theoretical philosophies and modern "feel good" pop psychology approaches, stoicism guides us in overcoming damaging emotions. As opposed to popular beliefs about stoic philosophy, it is an actionable philosophy that can be effortlessly applied in everyday living. That is what this book is all about.

Title: Draw Your Weapons Author: Sarah Sentilles Narrator: Sarah Sentilles Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A single book might not change the world. But this utterly original meditation on art and war might transform the way you see the world - and that makes all the difference. "How to live in the face of so much suffering? What difference can one person make in this beautiful, imperfect, and imperiled world?" Through a dazzling combination of memoir, history, reporting, visual culture, literature, and theology, Sarah Sentilles offers an impassioned defense of life lived by peace and principle. It is a literary collage with an urgent hope at its core: that art might offer tools for remaking the world. In Draw Your Weapons, Sentilles tells the true stories of Howard, a conscientious objector during World War II, and Miles, a former prison guard at Abu Ghraib, and in the process she challenges conventional thinking about how war is waged, witnessed, and resisted. The pacifist and the soldier both create art in response to war: Howard builds a violin; Miles paints portraits of detainees. With echoes of Susan Sontag and Maggie Nelson, Sentilles investigates images of violence from the era of slavery to the drone age. In doing so, she wrestles with some of our most profound questions: What does it take to inspire compassion? What impact can one person have? How should we respond to violence when it feels like it can't be stopped? Draw Your Weapons stirs and confronts, disturbs and illuminates. Critic Reviews: "With a stunning weave of ideas and images, Sarah Sentilles shows us the world we've broken, and she shows us how soldiers, prisoners, artists, thinkers - all of us - are, piece by piece, repairing it. Fearless, stirring, rhythmic, this book pulses with energy and is full of insights, dark yet ultimately hopeful." (Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City) "Now more than ever, the world needs a book like Draw Your Weapons. With mastery, urgency, and great courage, Sarah Sentilles investigates the histories of art, violence, war, and human survival. In her haunting and absorbing narrative, the act of storytelling itself becomes a matter of life and death." (Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being) "Draw Your Weapons is as much about peace as it is about war; it is as much about life as it is about death. Sarah Sentilles, with her passionate, clear-eyed prose and her brilliant, generous mind, confronts us with the realities of standing idly by in a world that urgently needs voices of peace and reconciliation. She puts real faces on the stories we hear all the time in the news and forget about. The stories in this book - about violence and love and endurance and vulnerability - are unforgettable, and they are very much the stories of our time. You will be riveted, educated, implicated, and changed by this book." (Emily Rapp, author of The Still Point of the Turning World)

Title: Psychopathology of Everyday Life Author: Sigmund Freud Narrator: Mary Schneider Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 06-16-17 Publisher: SAGA Egmont Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" is a book which passed through four editions in Germany and is considered the author's most popular work. With great ingenuity and penetration, the author throws much light on the complex problems of human behavior, and clearly demonstrates that the hitherto considered impassable gap between normal and abnormal mental states is more apparent than real. This translation is made of the fourth German edition, and while the original text was strictly followed, linguistic difficulties often made it necessary to modify or substitute some of the author's cases by examples comprehensible to the English speaking reader.

Hegel addresses each style of art in turn, considering architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and poetry in detail. He also offers distinct and in-depth analyses of Egyptian art, Greek sculpture, and both ancient and modern tragedy. Philosophy of Fine Art is regarded as one of the greatest aesthetic theories produced since Aristotle's Poetics. The AudioLearn version of Hegel's Philosophy of Fine Art is preceded by a chapter-by-chapter summary that details the themes and perspectives addressed in the main work. The summary also provides an exploration of the life of the author and the background of the piece. Also included are an overview, a synopsis, and an analysis of the work. The summary is concluded by an examination of the historical context and social impact of the piece and a brief look at the criticisms associated with it. Philosophy of Fine Art is a key work of aesthetic philosophy and an essential text for students of philosophy and art as well as for anyone interested in the nature of aesthetics.

Title: Ethics in the Real World Subtitle: 82 Brief Essays on Things That Matter Author: Peter Singer Narrator: James Saunders Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 03-21-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 52 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Peter Singer is often described as the world's most influential philosopher. He is also one of its most controversial. The author of important books such as Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, Rethinking Life and Death, and The Life You Can Save, he helped launch the animal rights and effective altruism movements and contributed to the development of bioethics. Now, in Ethics in the Real World, Singer shows that he is also a master at dissecting important current events in a few hundred words. In this book of brief essays, he applies his controversial ways of thinking to issues like climate change, extreme poverty, animals, abortion, euthanasia, human genetic selection, sports doping, the sale of kidneys, the ethics of high-priced art, and ways of increasing happiness. Singer asks whether chimpanzees are people, smoking should be outlawed, or consensual sex between adult siblings should be decriminalized, and he reiterates his case against the idea that all human life is sacred, applying his arguments to some recent cases in the news. In addition, he explores, in an easily accessible form, some of the deepest philosophical questions, such as whether anything really matters and what is the value of the pale blue dot that is our planet. The collection also includes some more personal reflections, like Singer's thoughts on one of his favourite activities, surfing, and an unusual suggestion for starting a family conversation over a holiday feast. Provocative and original, these essays will challenge - and possibly change - your beliefs about a wide range of real-world ethical questions. Critic Reviews: "Peter Singer might well be the most important philosopher alive. He is certainly one of the most enjoyable to read, and it's a joy to browse through this collection of his smart short essays. This is public philosophy at its best - clear, controversial, and deeply rational." (Paul Bloom, author of Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil) "An accessible introduction to the work of a philosopher who would not regard being described as 'accessible' as an insult.... Despite their brevity, the essays do not shirk the big moral questions." (Economist)

Title: Neo-Nihilism Subtitle: The Philosophy of Power Author: Peter Sjöstedt-H Narrator: Peter Sjöstedt-H Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 02-08-17 Publisher: Peter Sjöstedt-H Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This text concisely puts forward the case for a form of nihilism - fusing thoughts from Hume, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, amongst others.

This text inspired the recreation of the Marvel philosopher superhero Karnak. Written by the Philosopher Peter Sjöstedt-H.

Title: The Praise of Folly/Against War Author: Desiderius Erasmus Narrator: Georgina Sutton, Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-17 Publisher: Ukemi Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466-1536) was known as Prince of the Humanists - though a theologian, a Catholic priest and the leading European scholar of his time. A close friend of Sir Thomas More, Erasmus' writings had a strong influence on the growing movement for change in Christian Europe, both Lutheran and the Counter-Reformation. These two essays are among his most important - and well-known - writings. 'The Praise of Folly', written in Latin in 1509 and spoken by the goddess Folly (who champions a lively enjoyment of life), was a bold satire on (in the cautious contemporary environment) not only Western classical traditions but also the Catholic Church. Dedicated to More himself, Erasmus wittily challenged entrenched views in so forthright (and humanist) a style that it could have brought him in direct conflict with the papacy. Fortunately the pope, Leo X, enjoyed the humour and the challenge! It is here presented in the lively modern translation by Leonard H. Dean. 'Against War' (c. 1517) is 'an impassioned plea for peace among beings human, civilised, Christian'. A deeply humanist text, widely read through Europe in the ensuing years, it has a continuing currency. 'Nothing is either more wicked or more wretched, nothing doth worse become a man than war.' Leighton Pugh reads the classic translation by John Wilson.

Title: The Engineer's Argument Subtitle: A Philosophical Argument Against Intelligent Design Author: Casper Rigsby Narrator: Jon D. Webster Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-16 Publisher: Atheist Republic Publications Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This book aims to give logically consistent reasoning for the dismissal of the idea of intelligent design through philosophical discourse based on given evidence of how our universe works. In these minutes, I will address the logical fallacies I see in any intelligent design model that poses the notion of a creator god who created the universe with specific intent and purpose. It is my hope that I can offer many pieces of evidence that show such an idea of an intelligent designer is not only logically inconsistent but also absurd. To do this, I will focus on three main points of contention: intelligence, design, and purpose. By taking an in-depth look at those ideas, I hope to show that intelligent design theories only raise more questions than answers.

Title: Frantz Fanon Subtitle: Philosopher of the Barricades Author: Peter Hudis Narrator: Doug Storm Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-16 Publisher: Pluto Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Few figures loom as large in the intellectual history of revolution and postcolonialism as Frantz Fanon. An intellectual who devoted his life to activism, he utilized his deep knowledge of psychology and philosophy in the service of the movement for democratic participation and political sovereignty in his native Martinique and around the world. With FranzFanon, Peter Hudis presents a penetrating critical biography of the activist's life and work. Countering the prevailing belief that Fanon's contributions to modern thought can be wholly defined by an advocacy of violence, Hudis presents his work instead as an integrated whole, showing that its nuances - and thus its importance - can only be appreciated in light of Fanon's efforts to fuse philosophical theory and actual practice. By taking seriously Fanon's philosophical and psychological contributions, as well as his political activism, Hudis presents a powerful and perceptive new view of the man and his achievement. This brief, richly perceptive introduction to Fanon will give new force to his ideas, his life, and his example for people engaged in radical political theory and taking action against oppression around the world today.

Title: The Socratic Quest Subtitle: Waking Up to the Cerebral Mirage Author: Andrea Diem-Lane Narrator: Carol Purdom Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-16 Publisher: MSAC Philosophy Group Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Too often students today think that Plato's dialogues concerning Socrates have no relevance to the present issues confronting humankind. It is mistakenly believed that Socrates' quest is dated and that we as species have outgrown such philosophical speculations. However, this is not the case, since the Socratic search for knowledge is a perennial one and we can learn much by closely reading what these early Greek thinkers pondered during their time. In this book, we have included excerpts from the Socratic dialogues (as penned by his most famous student, Plato) and Professor Andrea Diem-Lane's brilliant treatise on the "Cerebral Mirage" which brings Plato and Socrates up to date by showing how the latest findings in quantum theory and neuroscience substantiate much of early Greek skepticism, particularly concerning how easily we can be deceived by our various forms of certainty.

Title: On Liberty Author: John Stuart Mill Narrator: Alastair Cameron Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 09-28-16 Publisher: A.R.N. Publications Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: On Liberty is a book by John Stuart Mill, one of the most celebrated philosophers on the subject of leadership and governing ideals. The book focuses on Mill's philosophy on utilitarianism which is one of his defining principles. The principles of the book are focused on developing a relationship between the ruling authority and liberty. The work was meant to be a short essay but it was expanded to cover all his principles about liberty and utilitarianism. The work begins like most of his philosophical works; by introducing the historical background about the struggle that has always existed between liberty and authority. Mill argues that in a way democracy encourages what he terms as "tyranny of the majority". He argues that the authority of the ruling class should be controlled by the liberty and the freedoms of the citizens. With these views he sets the tone for the whole book and goes into great details about the relationship between liberty and authority. Mill stated that this book was not his work alone because he collaborated with his wife Harriet Mill and this is evident especially when compared to his previous essays. The book was well received and it remains a philosophical classic.

In this work, Quine's argument is stated, analyzed, and shown to be a broken argument for a false conclusion. It is shown that necessary truths are as important as empirical truths to the empirical sciences, the reason being that, without necessary truths, there is no way to organize or interpret data. It comes to light that, in addition to being false, every form of extreme empiricism (e.g. Dewey's pragmatism, Wittgenstein's verificationism, Comte's positivism) is so incoherent that it cannot be clearly stated without thereby being refuted.

Title: A Discourse upon the Origin and the Foundation of the Inequality Among Mankind by Jean Jacques Rousseau Subtitle: The Complete Work Plus an Overview, Chapter by Chapter Summary and Author Biography! Author: Jean Jacques Rousseau, Israel Bouseman Narrator: Derek Botten Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-16 Publisher: AudioLearn Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Rousseau was one of the key figures of the Enlightenment, a period in history when all aspects of politics and human rights underwent dramatic reinterpretation. His discourse on inequality is one of his earliest works, an examination of the state of nature of mankind and the way in which society fell short of both its ideals and its potential. Rousseau was the most influential French writer of his age. His works gave rise to the ideals espoused during the French Revolution, and in no small part contributed to the American Revolution as well. Rousseau and his philosophical contemporaries, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, were central to the dramatic re-envisioning of political theory that gave rise to the current era of democracy and republic. This work shows the developmental stages of his thought, shedding light on the struggle between individual will and the right of the privileged to rule. The narration of the full text is preceded by a summary, which includes a biography of the author, and an overview, synopsis, and analysis, as well as an examination of the historical context of the piece. This version of the work is ideal for students of philosophy and history, and a must-hear for any interested in how the current political and social climate arose.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason Author: Michael O'Sullivan Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: More than two centuries after its initial publication in 1781, Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason remains perhaps the most influential text in modern philosophy. Kant himself claimed his work as a revolutionary document and insisted that it changed the discipline of philosophy as thoroughly as Copernicus had changed astronomy 300 years earlier, when he said the Earth revolved around the sun and not the other way round. Kant argues that metaphysicians (philosophers who are primarily concerned with the fundamental causes and nature of things) could move away from their endless battles about whether human knowledge must conform to independently given objects. Instead he argues that progress in philosophy is possible only by agreeing that objects conform to forms of human cognition, or awareness. Much of the history of philosophy can be recounted in terms of how thinkers have reacted to Kant's work. His critique continues to provoke and inform a range of contemporary debates, both within and beyond philosophy.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations Author: Michael O'Sullivan Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In Philosophical Investigations, the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein presents a radical approach to problems in the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind. In fact, he sets out a radically new conception of philosophy itself. Published in 1953, two years after Wittgenstein's death, many still consider it one of the finest works of 20th century philosophy. Wittgenstein begins from the insight that most philosophical problems trace back to incorrect assumptions about the nature of language. So meaning, he claims, can be extracted by investigating how people truly use language and how those uses differ between communities and cultures. While previous works in the field typically described a philosophical problem, addressed various approaches, and debated solutions, Wittgenstein takes the unique approach of treating philosophy not as a theory, but as an activity. Rather than debate abstract problems, Wittgenstein urges philosophers to concern themselves with ordinary life and the concrete situations in which humans find themselves. You can find out more about how Ludwig Wittgenstein'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. Macat's analyses cover 14 different subjects in the humanities and social sciences. To browse our whole multimedia library and get a lot more, visit macat.com today. Macat. Learn better.

C. da Platone, è il dialogo che ha maggiormente influito sulla filosofia e sulla scienza posteriori. In esso vengono approfonditi essenzialmente tre problemi: quello dell'origine dell'universo, quello della sua struttura materiale, ed infine quello della natura umana. Ai tre argomenti corrispondono altrettante parti in cui è possibile suddividere l'opera, alle quali va aggiunto il prologo. Il Timeo ha rappresentato per molti secoli lo schema di fondo che filosofi e teologi hanno usato per spiegare la realtà. Inoltre molti temi del Timeo verranno ripresi in età rinascimentale, quali la corrispondenza tra microcosmo e macrocosmo, l'idea di anima del mondo e di quintessenza. Il Timeo, assieme al Crizia, è il dialogo che ha dato origine al mito di Atlantide ed in esso viene narrato ciò che Sonchis narrò a Solone. © Dominio pubblico (P)2016 Silvia Cecchini

De fapt, oamenii ramân cel mai adesea acolo unde specia îi asaza: (în "bancul de heringi", de care vorbea un filozof danez), acolo unde se traieste dupa regula tuturor. Acolo ne instalam cu totii din clipa în care venim pe lume si tot acolo ramânem, cei mai multi dintre noi, pâna la sfârsit. Cel mai adesea nimeni nu vine sa ne se-duca, sa ne ia de mâna, sa ne scoata pe drumul mare al vietii si "sa ne duca de o parte", de acea parte în care ni se da sansa sa ne regasim cu viata noastra traita ca destin, ceea ce înseamna: traita pe cont propriu. Prima concluzie a acestei carti este: Vai de cei care nu au apucat niciodata sa fie sedusi! Iar daca este asa, apare imediat întrebarea: Unde ne sunt seducatorii?"

Title: Anselm's Discovery Subtitle: A Re-Examination of the Ontological Proof of God's Existence Author: Charles Hartshorne Narrator: Chiquito Crasto Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 03-25-16 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Did Anselm, in his "Ontological Argument" (first advanced around 1070), make one of the greatest intellectual discoveries of all time, or did he merely fall into an interesting blunder? In his day, Anselm was criticized by Gaunilo. Subsequent philosophers have generally considered Gaunilo's criticisms to be weighty. Descartes' attempt to resuscitate Anselm's argument led to Kant's supposed refutation, which most later philosophers have considered to be fundamentally sound. Charles Hartshorne has brought back the "Ontological Argument" as a major problem of modern philosophical analysis, and Anselm's Discovery has been described as his most systematic exposition of the history of the subject. According to Hartshorne, generations of philosophers have read Anselm superficially, and have failed to see that Anselm presented two forms of the Argument, the second involving a genuine conceptual breakthrough.
