Story
"Mein Thema heute, so fürchte ich, ist fast schon beschämend aktuell." Was ist Freiheit, und was bedeutet sie uns? Begreifen wir sie nur als die Abwesenheit von Furcht und von Zwängen, oder meint Freiheit nicht vielmehr auch, sich an gesellschaftlichen Prozessen zu beteiligen, eine eigene politische Stimme zu haben, um von anderen gehört, erkannt und schließlich erinnert zu werden? Und: Haben wir diese Freiheit einfach, oder wer gibt sie uns, und kann man sie uns auch wieder wegnehmen? In diesem auf Deutsch bisher unveröffentlichten Essay zeichnet Hannah Arendt die historische Entwicklung des Freiheitsbegriffs nach.

Opposites and borders are never as clear as we think. With a novelist's eye for the unexpected, author Hari Kunzru takes listeners into the gray zone between life and death, public and private, black and white, and more. Along the way he meets philosophers and punk musicians, New Age gurus and space explorers, and together they investigate liminal spaces around the world. Into the Zone: Audio Essays includes a new foreword and afterword providing bookends to a series of brilliantly crafted intersections on history and the evolution of identity.

Story
In the latest fruit of a brilliant career, Michael Nagler argues that nonviolence - not just as a tactic but as a way of being - is the only way to unite deeply divided people and enable progressive movements and leaders of all stripes to fulfill their promise and potential. So many of the problems that beset us - war, poverty, isolation, and the climate crisis - have their roots in an old story about the universe: We are purposeless matter in a random void, and scarcity, competition, and violence are inevitable.

Story
Von jeher muss der Mensch seinen "Stoffwechsel mit der Natur" organisieren. Für Marx war der wichtigste Faktor dabei die Arbeit. Als Prometheus, dem Mythos zufolge, das Feuer auf die Erde brachte, kam ein weiterer entscheidender Input hinzu. Seit Hunderttausenden Jahren wird es genutzt, um Nahrung zu garen und Werkzeuge zu härten. In diesem Sinne lässt sich sagen: Alle Geschichte bedeutet die Geschichte von Applikationen des Feuers.

Along with Stoicism and Epicureanism, Skepticism is one of the three major schools of ancient Greek philosophy that claim to offer a way of living as well as thinking. How to Keep an Open Mind provides an unmatched introduction to skepticism by presenting a fresh, modern translation of key passages from the writings of Sextus Empiricus, the only Greek skeptic whose works have survived.

Story
The book is one of the most influential ethical treatises of all time. Written in 350 BC, it identifies happiness as life's goal. How do we achieve this goal? Not through the satisfactions that come from pleasure, wealth, or fame. According to Aristotle, the true path to happiness lies in contemplation of philosophic truth. This is the only action through which humans can exercise their distinctively unique trait: the ability to reason.

Il n'est pas anodin que les grandes figures sociologiques du XXe siècle, Durkheim, Mauss, Lévi-Strauss ou Bourdieu, aient été formées initialement à la philosophie. 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.

Story
Sages from Cicero to Oprah have told us that forgiveness requires us to let go of negative emotions and that it has a unique power to heal our wounds. In Failures of Forgiveness, Myisha Cherry argues that these beliefs couldn’t be more wrong—and that the ways we think about and use forgiveness, personally and as a society, can often do more harm than good. She presents a new and healthier understanding of forgiveness—one that will give us a better chance to recover from wrongdoing and move toward “radical repair.”

La Tierra no es perfectamente redonda, pero la circunferencia creada por los hombres sí lo es. Lo malo es que cuando intentaban medir esa circunferencia inventada con su diámetro, salía un número irracional, un número desconcertante, el número pi. Otros conceptos ideales creados también por los hombres, como la simetría, la ortodoxia, la unanimidad, el orden o la belleza pueden derivar también en consecuencias irracionales, indeseadas, injustas y dañinas.

Estamos perdiendo nuestra capacidad de no hacer nada. Nuestra existencia está completamente absorbida por la actividad y, por lo tanto, completamente explotada. Dado que solo percibimos la vida en términos de rendimiento, tendemos a entender la inactividad como un déficit, una negación o una mera ausencia de actividad cuando se trata, muy al contrario, de una interesante capacidad independiente.

Hegel for Social Movements by Andy Blunden is an introduction to Hegel intended for those already active in social movements. It introduces Hegel's ideas in a way which will be useful for those fighting for social change, and while some familiarity with philosophy would be an advantage for the listener, the main pre-requisite is a commitment to the practical pursuit of ideal aims. The book covers the whole sweep of Hegel's writing, but focuses particularly on the Logic and Hegel's social theory—the Philosophy of Right.
