"Songez à tout ce qu'il faudrait savoir pour expliquer à Descartes ou à Napoléon ressuscités notre système actuel d'existence, pour lui faire comprendre comment nous pouvons arriver à vivre dans des conditions si étranges, dans un milieu qu'il trouverait certainement assez effrayant, et même hostile. Cet embarras est la mesure du changement intervenu." Paul Valéry écrivit en effet ce texte dans une époque qui vivait de grands changements, au sein d'une société bouleversée par la guerre.

This audiobook is about my ever expanding, developing, and changing views on what I believe to be consciousness and its construct, reality. Now more than ever, I believe people need to define who they are and why they are here in this reality. The notion of a soul, or an eternal life, or what comes next are questions on everyone's mind. This is an ever-present friend or foe as we see fit. I believe consciousness and brain are the keys to this mystery, as well as to our universe.

This audiobook discusses the history and foundation of Stoicism in detail. It also explores the three main disciplines of Stoicism as well as the modern-day gurus of Stoicism. To understand and practice Stoicism is to also understand and internalize the history of this philosophical school and to know the foundations of it. Where we are right now and who we are as a people is because of the history we have behind us. To truly become a Stoic, you must understand the great Stoics of ancient philosophy.

Leo has a decision to make - maintain a comfortable position in a career he's no longer passionate about - or take a massive leap of faith.

The Enchiridion and Discourses is a compilation of Epictetus's philosophical teachings. Although Epictetus spent much of his life as a slave, he believed that all people were free to control their emotional well-being and live in harmony with their circumstance and those around them. His works are a guide for applying philosophy to day-to-day living. Although many of the great philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, promoted grand ideas, they never approached the subject of integrating those ideas into everyday life.

Did you know that those born on November 1st common years are not only people for whom results of processes (rather than processes themselves) are important, but also (especially in their youth) they don't listen to anyone & therefore are capable of such extreme things, that other people's hair stands up? For example, they can become punks with green hair, pierce all body parts, and eat almost trash?

Geldmangel? Liebeskummer? Frustriert? Ihnen kann geholfen werden. An sechs typischen Krisen aus dem täglichen Leben führt Alain de Botton geistreich und amüsant vor, wie jedermann Trost, Rat und Ansporn in der Philosophie findet. In essayistischen Porträts geht er auf eine Reise durch 2400 Jahre abendländische Philosophiegeschichte und zeigt anhand der Leben und Werke von Sokrates, Epikur, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer und Nietzsche wie ein etwas anderer - nämlich philosophischer - Blick auf die Welt das Leben erträglicher machen kann.

Le texte qui suit fut rédigé en 1913, dans un contexte social et culturel marqué notamment par l'industrialisation de la France, l'émergence du modèle capitaliste en Occident et les changements profonds qu'implique le basculement d'un modèle de société vers un autre. Et c'est justement de la critique d'un système de représentation dont il est ici question, de la remise en cause d'une idéologie naissante qui place désormais l'argent au sommet des valeurs.

"Kerry Shale's reading delivers lots of information clearly as Harris discusses technological developments that threaten our solitude today. While much of Harris's book is critical of those developments, Shale also captures Harris's humor and occasional indignance." — AudioFile Magazine With a...

Dr. Jeanne Safer has dedicated much of her decades-long career in psychotherapy to exploring taboo subjects that we all think about in private but seldom discuss in public. From conflicted sibling relationships to the choice not to have children, Safer's work has always been unflinching in its aim to dive deep into topics that make most of us blush but which are present in all of our lives. In The Golden Condom, Safer turns her sharp and fearless eye to a subject perhaps more universal than any other: love in all its permutations.
