Philosophe et romancier, Pascal Bruckner a la volonté de transmettre le sens de ses écrits incarnés par sa voix, il collabore donc pour la seconde fois...

Pourquoi grandir, pourquoi vieillir ? Les âges seraient-ils en train de disparaître ? Alors qu'il relevait autrefois de l'évidence, le sens des âges semble à notre époque irrémédiablement brouillé. L'adulte est cerné par une jeunesse qui s'éternise et par un troisième âge actif où on peut enfin s'épanouir. L'âge adulte n'est plus un idéal où peut s'exercer la liberté, il est le temps des soucis et des responsabilités.

Socrate est souvent qualifié de "père de la philosophie". S'il n'en est peut-être pas le fondateur, il est le premier à se détourner de l'étude de la nature et à insister pour que la réflexion philosophique s'intéresse désormais, et exclusivement, aux "affaires humaines". En raison de cette stature, et du fait qu'il n'ait jamais laissé d'écrit, on a longtemps cherché dans les œuvres de Platon, de Xénophon, d'Aristophane ou encore d'Aristote, la trace du vrai Socrate, du Socrate historique.

Les mutations profondes des conditions de l'espèce humaine ne font pas la une. Pourtant les changements qu'elles entraînent sont fondamentaux. La mutation combinée de l'effectif démographique et de la conscience de la finitude de la planète terre se frotte ainsi à celle des pouvoirs des hommes "qui sont devenus plus grands que ce que la terre peut supporter" et à qui doit s'imposer une mutation éthique.

Con il "Discorso sul metodo" di Cartesio potete ascoltare alcune delle pagine che hanno fatto la storia del moderno pensiero occidentale...

De ce que l'homme n'a pas d'autre choix que d'être "artisan de sa propre vie" pour tendre à la "tranquillité de l'âme", Sénèque déduit une morale très humaine.

Don Pendleton's metaphysical essays dramatically explore the human experience and the spiritual meaning of existence. In Don's inspirational examination of religion, science, and philosophy, his findings are thought provoking, inspiring, and perhaps even transformational for the true seeker.

Hör-Zeit in der Weite des Universums - Zeit für eine kurze Geschichte der Physik. Ist das Weltall grenzenlos oder hat es einen Anfang? Was bedeuten Raum und Zeit im unfassbaren Universum?

In this investigation of why we live and die in the diverse manners we do, Baumann uncovers his data through the analysis of the world's recent advances in science, medicine, philosophy, and religion.

In this audiobook, Pendleton dramatically investigates the sciences, religions, and philosophies with a view toward dignifying the human experience and provides a frame work in which the individual listener may validate his/her own life and dreams relating to the whole. Don's slant into the material is unique; often humorous; the findings evocative; conclusions satisfying for the rationalist; inspiring; and, perhaps, even transformational for the true seeker.

Does free will exist? The question has fueled heated debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. To put it in the simple terms that have come to dominate these debates, if we are free to make our own decisions, we are accountable for what we do, and if we aren't free, we're off the hook.

Worshipful Brother Hextall explores various possible histories of the Hiram Abiff legend in Masonic ritual, focusing largely on noted British alchemist and astrologer Elias Ashmole in the process. He includes speculation on the manufacturing of the Master Mason degree as well as the history of its emergence. And what does the burning of historical Masonic documents in 1720 have to do with all of it? The author explains.

A collection of four essays by noted Masonic scholar Frank C. Higgins. The first explores the labyrinthine paths of solutions that attempt to define the exact character of the "riddle of the ages" that is known as Freemasonry, as it has survived throughout history, in multiple cultures

Entre désenchantement et idéalisation, l'amour se tient toujours au centre de notre recherche du bonheur.

The quest to live forever continues. But why do we want to live forever? And is immortality even possible? It seems easy to imagine it (at least at first!), but after considering the idea a little more carefully, problems become obvious. Boredom, loneliness, and the effects (or ravages) of time on the body and the mind might all take their toll as the ages pass. These subjective problems, together with the more objective question of how a body might live forever, are all considered in this audiobook.

It's always interesting to hear another person's thoughts or philosophy about life. Some people are so boring they put you to sleep. Others can be so amusing. Some could change the way you think for the rest of your life. The lines, paragraphs and/or statements herein could be against all your beliefs. Then again, it could be right up your alley and change your life for the better. The reason for this book is to provoke thoughts for the wondering.

Sorprende que a 140 años de la muerte de Schopenhauer aún existan textos inéditos de su obra. El amor es un sentimiento humano que puede crecer hasta opacar cualquier aspiración, determinación o certeza del individuo e incluso llevarlo a sacrificar su vida, y sin embargo, en palabras de Arthur Schopenhauer, había sido "totalmente ignorado por los filósofos" hasta que éste lo interpretó metafísica y trascendentemente.

The information age has begotten turmoil. It seems that the more information we have, the less peace the average person has. To many, an impression has developed that modern science has disproved the existence of the immaterial realm, and doomed us to a sterile, pointless wandering in the wilderness of minutiae. During roughly the same time this impression has been developing in popular culture, however, massive evidence to the contrary has been steadily erupting from The Sciences!

Many have believed that Atlantis was a fiction created by Plato. Well Plato was not the first to write about it. We have found a very much earlier document. It was written in 9619 BC, about 9,250 years before Plato's writing. Further, we have assembled enough evidence in terms of archeological finds and scientific facts to provide convincing proof that Atlantis really did exist. And we have found the remains. We structure the evidence to answers three basic questions: how was it created; did it leave evidence; how was it destroyed?
