Als Vorsitzender der südafrikanischen Wahrheitsfindungskommission wurde Friedensnobelpreis-Träger Desmond Tutu Zeuge von Schilderungen grausamer Folter und Morde. Aus dieser Erfahrung heraus plädiert er dafür, dem Anderen zu vergeben. Vergeben können und Vergebung empfangen - das ist die Botschaft dieses Hörbuches.

Il y aura trois siècles en juin 2012 naissait Rousseau. Ces anniversaires ont bien souvent des allures de mausolées érigés en l'honneur de grands hommes qu'on ne célèbre que pour mieux s'autoriser à oublier leur pensée. Mais à cette aune, Jean-Jacques fait encore aujourd'hui de la résistance. C'est ce que montre Jean-Paul Jouary dans ce "Rousseau, citoyen du futur" qui, au-delà des élèves et étudiants, s'adresse à toutes celles et ceux qui cherchent à inventer de nouvelles formes politiques propres à réconcilier la citoyenneté de chacun avec les exigences collectives de toute vie sociale.

Impara l’Arte di Insultare, di Arthur Schopenhauer, è un abecedario degli insulti, una raccolta di critiche, probabilmente derivanti da sue impressioni...

Franz Kafka wurde 1883 in Prag geboren. Er starb 1924 in Klosterneuburg, Österreich. Die Erzählung "Die Verwandlung" (1912) zählt zu den bekanntesten Werken Kafkas und ist ein Meisterstück symbolisch-parabelhafter Erzählkunst. Der Autor vereint meisterhaft anschauliche Sprache mit spannender Handlung und bitter-süßer Ironie.

Connecting our speed-obsession with today's global capitalism, Taylor composes a grand narrative showing how commitments to economic growth and extreme competition, combined with accelerating technological innovation, have brought us close to disaster. Psychologically, environmentally, economically, and culturally, speed is taking a profound toll on our lives.

In this audiobook, I discuss the "social sense", which is triggered by interaction with other people. I define a sense as something that can cause either: discomfort or pleasure to a person. Interaction with some people will trigger pleasure to the social sense, while interaction with other people will trigger discomfort. In this audiobook, I explain social situations under the context of the "social sense" that, otherwise, would be difficult or impossible to explain.

The Good Life is a deeply reasoned but entertaining polemic about how the notion of morality has been co-opted by the political right, as the culture increasingly embraces the shallow charms of celebrity, gives a pass when it comes to failings in the realm of marital fidelity, and lives comfortably with the notion that we are all driven, more or less, by greed and the desire for power over others.

En l'an 2020, la société humaine, confrontée à la montée de la violence urbaine, civique et économique, à la dégradation de son environnement et à la déshumanisation comportementale de sa population, a accepté pour survivre, une nouvelle justice. Cette nouvelle justice devra lui garantir un avenir et un nouvel espoir. Dorénavant, chaque être humain devra s'acquitter d'une prime de vie. Quel en sera le prix ?À tort ou à raison, la question de la sécurité depuis quelque temps est largement abordée dans nos sociétés. Partant de ce fait, cette nouvelle est construite sur le compost de l'insécurité.

While "missions" used to be the territory of experts and missionary professionals, globalization has made the issues and needs of our world accessible to average Americans. Many American Christians feel overwhelmed by the scope of the brokenness in the world and conclude all they can do is go on with their lives. Others respond by giving and praying, and still others want to do more. What Can I Do shows that global mission is something we all can be part of in tangible ways.

Das "Tao te king" ist ein unerschöpfliches und tiefgründiges Weisheitsbuch, das auch die Menschen außerhalb Asiens unmittelbar anzusprechen vermag. Als Verfasser dieses Werkes wird Laotse vermutet, die Textkritik geht von einer Entstehung des Textes etwa 400 vor Christus aus. Die Grundidee von Laotse besteht in der Vorstellung vom Kreislauf des Kosmos, die in der Beobachtung des Einzelnen liegt und erfahrbar wird. Basis ist die unauflösbare Einheit, deren Pole Yin (das Passive, das Dunkle, das Weibliche) und Yang (das Helle, das Aktive, das Männliche) sind.

Was ist lächerlich an der Vorstellung einer Welt ohne Gewalt? Warum wird der Traum von einem friedlichen Zusammenleben als kindliche Illusion abgetan, für Frieden demonstrierende Jugendliche sogar belächelt? Arno Gruen antwortet: Weil die Kraft der Träume die Anpassung an die angebliche Realität gefährdet. Menschen werden genau dann zu Eroberern und Kriegstreibern, wenn sie Gewalt mit Lebendigkeit verwechseln. Solange diese Illusion funktioniert, wird Größenwahn für Stärke gehalten.

Tre anni dopo la pubblicazione del "Cigno nero", un racconto filosofico acclamato in tutto il mondo, Nassim Nicholas Taleb fa il bilancio della vita del suo libro. L'idea talebiana del "Cigno nero" ha conquistato milioni di lettori e fecondato la ricerca in campi molto diversi, dalla filosofia alla statistica, dalla sociologia alla psicologia, agli studi sul clima, alla medicina. Meno feconda questa idea si è rivelata invece in economia, l'area più immediatamente vicina agli interessi dell'autore.

Giuseppe Cruciani intercetta ogni giorno gli umori vibranti del paese da un punto di ascolto privilegiato - la trasmissione "La Zanzara" su Radio 24 - rispondendo spesso con ironia e intelligenti provocazioni. Ha scoperto a sue spese, però, che su un argomento è vietato scherzare, perché ci si scontra con l'assolutismo di una comunità che ha sempre più potere: i "fasciovegani". Questi sono i più estremi sostenitori di un animalismo militante che spesso deborda nella violenza di pensiero, di parola, talvolta fisica.

Forges a path away from polarization toward ethical problem solving and a more humane, equitable, and healthy society. From tackling injustice to protecting the environment to ending animal cruelty to improving the strength of our communities, deep divisions in our society often prevent us from working collaboratively to solve the problems we face.

In "Confronting Chaos: The Civility Crisis," Nelson dives deep into the heart of America's current societal turmoil, pinpointing the root cause: the erosion of civility. With a blend of insight, compassion, and urgency, Nelson navigates listeners through the complexities of this crisis, offering both analysis and solutions. Drawing upon historical perspectives and contemporary examples, "Confronting Chaos" illuminates how the abandonment of traditional values, particularly those rooted in Christian principles, has led to a breakdown in respectful discourse and behavior.

Si vendre des photos de vos pieds pouvait remplir votre frigo, est-ce que vous sauteriez le pas ? Des millions de posts accompagnés du hashtag #feetpic inondent Instagram quotidiennement.

The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations.

Los filósofos griegos construyeron grandes discusiones sobre la realidad que continúan vigentes y siguen inspirando a los pensadores de hoy. Desde las enseñanzas matemáticas de Pitágoras, pasando por las ideas de Platón y Aristóteles, han sido fundamentales para el desarrollo intelectual hasta nuestros días. Hoy, sin embargo, ese papel lo ha adoptado una nueva clase de visionarios.
