Story
Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Leibniz in just one hour.Leibniz was the first great German philosopher to produce an all-embracing philosophical system. He came to the remarkable conclusion that space and time do not exist – they are mere superstitious assumptions. Only things exist and only God is able to see things as they truly are – from a perspectiveless viewpoint. Yet the infinite of ultimate objects that make up the world (‘monads’) are not material: they are metaphysical and thus not subject to the laws of cause and effect.

Story
"Jak se stal z člověka staršího člověk moderní? Co ho činí moderním?" Tak se ptá Masaryk ve svém filozofickém díle, v němž uvažuje o duchovní krizi člověka v sekularizovaném světě. Krize moderního člověka je pro Masaryka krizí celého duchovního života. Tato krize se projevuje politicky, mravně, filozoficky i společensky – avšak jejím ohniskem byla podle Masaryka krize náboženská, kdy se moderní člověk odvrátil od vnějšího světa a začal se spoléhat jen na vlastní síly. V tomto spisu se Masaryk dotýká i sklonu k sebevraždám v moderní době a zamýšlí se nad jejich příčinami.

Conceiving Self-Knowledge: Through 40 Sessions with Petros Apostolou

Story
Whether self-knowledge is a decision to mature or even if it is a decision for us to be recognised by our environment, the variety of the subject-matter proposes introspections with a view to understanding. For there is a crucial distinction between what one knows and what one has established as a position. Led astray by formulas of improvement, human beings lose the strength of their established position. The established position is derived from the essence of their ETHOS and not from the achievement of expediencies for survival.

Story
Cuteness has taken the planet by storm. Global sensations Hello Kitty and Pokémon, the works of artists Takashi Murakami and Jeff Koons, Heidi the cross-eyed opossum and E.T. - all reflect its gathering power. But what does “cute” mean, as a sensibility and style? Why is it so pervasive? Is it all infantile fluff, or is there something more uncanny and even menacing going on - in a lighthearted way? In The Power of Cute, Simon May provides nuanced and surprising answers.

Story
Esta "Breve historia del mundo" no es un manual al uso: es una epístola-diálogo en un tono llano y accesible, sin los formalismos y las rigideces de los textos académicos, pero también sin el barniz de aparente pedagogía que da una voz de falsete a tantos audiolibros infantiles y juveniles. La perspectiva y el género elegidos por Gombrich convierten su libro en el antecesor moderno de otros tratados, como "El mundo de Sofía" de Jostein Gaarder o "Ética para Amador" de Fernando Savater.

Story
The world is encountering multiple crises—climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution. Capitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them—how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it—business—and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it.

Das "Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei" ist die wohl bekannteste Schrift von Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels. Wie wohl kaum ein anderes Dokument seiner Zeit lässt das "Manifest" die politisch aufgeladene Stimmung nachempfinden, die damals um 1848 herum während des zu Ende gehenden Vormärz in Europa kurz vor Ausbruch der Februarrevolution in Paris geherrscht hat. Wer sich für das "Kommunistische Manifest" interessiert und mehr über die Hintergründe seiner Entstehung erfahren möchte, wird in diesem Hörbuch reichlich Material finden.

Story
Il nichilismo, la negazione di ogni valore, è anche quello che Nietzsche chiama "il più inquietante fra tutti gli ospiti". Si è nel mondo della tecnica e la tecnica non tende a uno scopo, non produce senso, non svela verità. Fa solo una cosa: funziona. Finiscono sullo sfondo, corrosi dal nichilismo, i concetti di individuo, identità, libertà, senso, ma anche quelli di natura, etica, politica, religione, storia, di cui si è nutrita l'età pretecnologica.

Story
In a world with an endless hunger for innovation, why is it so hard to create audacious change? According to thought leader Seth Goldenberg, the answer to this question stems from how we, as a society, view questions themselves. In Radical Curiosity, Goldenberg argues that because we value knowing above learning and prioritize doing over thinking, curiosity has become an endangered species.

A leading American philosopher brings the tools of his trade to contentious contemporary debates. How can we have meaningful debates with political opponents? How can we distinguish reliable science from over-hyped media reports? How can we talk sensibly about God? In What Philosophy Can Do, Gary Gutting takes a philosopher's scalpel to modern life's biggest questions and the most powerful forces in our society - politics, science, religion, education, and capitalism - to show how we can improve our discussions of contentious contemporary issues.

Eres un animal. No te preocupes. ¡No tiene nada de malo reconocerlo! Por mucho que nos queramos resistir a aceptarlo, somos tan animales como el perro que se siente dueño de tu sillón o el gato que se duerme sobre el teclado de tu computadora. Sin embargo, algo nos distingue de todos ellos y nos convierte en, bueno, humanos. ¿Qué es eso que nos separa? Con letras certeras sobre la pérdida de la confianza en estos días, que nos condena a una vida tan hiperconectada como solitaria, Vico nos enseña que la amistad es importante, que compartir y sabernos parte de algo es vital.

Story
Henry at Work invites listeners to rethink how we work today by exploring an aspect of Henry David Thoreau that has often been overlooked: Thoreau the worker. John Kaag and Jonathan van Belle overturn the popular misconception of Thoreau as a navel-gazing recluse who was scornful of work and other mundanities. In fact, Thoreau worked hard—surveying land, running his family's pencil-making business, writing, lecturing, and building his cabin at Walden Pond—and thought intensely about work in its many dimensions.
