Das kommunistische Manifest ist wahrlich eines der bekanntesten Werke der Welt - doch wer kennt wirklich seinen Inhalt? Beim Hören wird klar, dass einiges heute überholt ist - während erstaunlich Vieles auch heute noch Bestand und Gültigkeit hat!

"In allem Wissen, auch im selbstvergessenen, im Schaffen wie im Betrachten, im Streit und in der Liebe, sind die gegenwärtig, die von sich selbst wissen." Auf "Von sich selbst wissen", seinem wohl persönlichsten Dokument, gerät Dieter Henrich aus dem Gespräch heraus ins Erzählen, wie auch ins spontane Philosophieren. Im Medium seiner Stimme verlässt er die Strenge seiner Begründungen in der Philosophie und schlägt den Bogen von seinen weltweit beachteten Forschungen und Konzeptionen zu seiner Kindheit in der Weimarer Republik und seiner Jugend bis 1945.

Der Philosoph und Medientheoretiker Vilém Flusser (1920-1991) dachte und schrieb im Rhythmus des Sprechens. Ihn vortragen zu hören war immer beides: Bereicherung und Vergnügen. Die hier vorliegende ungekürzte Originaltonaufnahme, Flussers letzter Vortrag in Deutschland, entstand wenige Tage vor seinem Tod. Wer Flusser einmal gehört hat, wird ihn anders lesen.

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.

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.

Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) was a Canadian professor, philosopher, and best-selling author. He made major contributions to the study of media theory. McLuhan is well-known for his expression "the medium is the message", from his 1964 book, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. He also popularized the term "global village", and he predicted the World Wide Web almost 30 years before it was invented. This recording is from one of his lectures.

What is the experience of black men in Britain? With continued conversation around British identity, racism and diversity, there is no better time to explore this question and give black British men a platform to answer it. Safe: On Black British Men Reclaiming Space is that platform. Including essays from top poets, writers, musicians, actors and journalists, this timely and accessible book brings together a selection of powerful reflections exploring the black British male experience and what it really means to reclaim and hold space in the landscape of our society.

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.

عبر صفحات الكتاب الذى -إن أردت- يمكنك أن تقرأه خلال ساعتين متواصلتين، ستجد نفسك أصبحت مثل عبيه، أحد أعضاء برنامج "الزائر الدولى"، الذى سافر من خلاله، ستعرف كيف جاءت فرصة السفر من قعدة بين ثلاثة أصدقاء، وتطّلع على تفاصيل ربما يظن كاتب أو شخص آخر أنها ليست مهمة بالنسبة للقارئ، لكن عبيه جعلها صلب الكتاب، ومهّد بها لما هو آت فى الصفحات المقبلة، وكأنه يقول لك: "يجب أن تعرف من أنا أولاً، حتى تتفهم ملاحظاتى على "أقوى دولة فى العالم"، لكنه حقيقة لم يقل إنه ذهب لـ"يُعلّم على ولاد العم سام"، رغم أنه حدث فعلا، لذا كان عنوان الكتاب الفرعى "رحلة 21 يوما من هدم الأساطير فى واشنطن وأخواتها"، مناسبًا للغاية،

Destiny offers the vision of a positive future for humanity and a practical blueprint for how to achieve a sustainable, peaceful, and just global community. At this most important moment in human history, technology is giving us the power to remake the world into a garden of plenty. At the same time, we face dark, existential crises—climate catastrophe, the continuing threat of nuclear weapons, and futile reliance on achieving “security” through military escalation, as examples.

Nowadays, people increasingly subscribe to cultural bubbles that stand in juxtaposition with the ideas of globalization and diversity. This book explores some of the reasons for the resistance to opening up to other cultures and proposes alternatives to cultural isolation, in particular, throughout the K-12 journey of American students.

The purpose of this book, and that of others that will follow in the ARS, is to shed light on certain practices, structures, systems, and institutions that we have adopted in Africa and that we continue to follow, even though they may not be tangibly furthering our progress and development as individuals, as communities, as nations, and as a Continent.

"Facing America's Greatest Enemy" by Rich Germaine delves into the pervasive issue of apathy within American society, exploring its historical roots, psychological underpinnings, and extensive impact on various facets of life.

While medicine and science have obviously changed enormously since the classical world, and some Greco-Roman beliefs about diet now appear hilariously off the mark, How to Eat reveals that much of their advice still resonates—and all of it is fascinating.

الفرق بين الإنسان والحضارة والمفهوم المركب للإنسان.

إن الكتابة التي يتضمنها كتاب دوائر التحريم، كتابة مختلفة تفكر بمنطق التناقض الجدلي ولا تفكر بمنطق الهوية الصوري. إنها كتابة سالبة بالمعنى الذي كان يريده هربرت ماركيوز. وهي كتابة متمردة بالمعنى الوجودي. هي كتابة حرة وتلقائية وطفولية تقول ما تريده بالمعنى السوريالي، وهي كتابة متحررة من الأوهام والأصنام على طريقة نيتشة. ترفض كل نزعة أبوية تسلطية وكل مركزية سياسية أو لاهوتية وفقاً لتفكيكية جاك دريدا.
