    Symposium , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 151min
    The Greek word sumposion means a drinking party (a fact shamefully ignored by the organizers of modern symposia), and the party described in Plato's Symposium is one supposedly given in the year 416 BC by the playwright Agathon to celebrate his victory in the dramatic festival of the Lenaea. He has already given one party, the previous evening; this second party is for a select group of friends, and host and guests alike are feeling a little frail. They decide to forego heavy drinking, and concentrate on conversation. The subject of their conversation is Eros, the god of sexual love. Symposium was written around 384 BC, and many would regard it as Plato's finest dialogue, from an artistic point of view, and the most enjoyable to read or listen to. There are many reasons for this, including the keyhole glimpse it gives us of Athenian society; the role played in the dialogue by Socrates; the description of what has come to be known as Platonic love; and the characterization of the speakers. The Cast: David Shaw-Parker as Socrates Tim Bentinck as Apollodorus/Alcibiades Andrew Branch as Aristodemus Daniel Flynn as Agathon Gordon Griffin as Pausanias/Friend Hayward Morse as Phaedrus Christopher Scott as Eryximachus/Servant Susan Sheridan as Diotima David Timson as Aristophanes Daniel Flynn as Presenter PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    Ausculta: Kloster Lichtental, Hörbuch, Digital, 54min
    Am Stadtrand von Baden-Baden liegt Kloster Lichtenthal. Hier beten und arbeiten seit 1245 Cistercienserinnen. Geprägt ist ihr Leben von der Spiritualität der Regel des Heiligen Benedikt: in der Stille der Klausur Gott suchen, hören auf sein Wort, über die Heilige Schrift meditieren, geistliche Lesung und Engagement für die Gemeinschaft. In den gemeinsamen Gebetszeiten singen die Schwestern als wichtigste Aufgabe nach den alten Melodien des Gregorianischen Chorals das Lob Gottes. Es ist in diesem Haus niemals verstummt. Und Arbeit für den Lebensunterhalt bestimmt ihr Leben. Früher nur die Landwirtschaft nutzend, haben die Schwestern heute ihre eigene Schule und Kunstwerkstätten oder beherbergen Gäste. Wie ist über die Mittel der Technik von Mikrofon und Mischpult dieses Leben zu "erhören", wie künstlerisch zu gestalten, was sich doch nicht sagen lässt, sondern einzig sich zeigt? "Höre" ist das erste Wort der Klosterregeln, die der Heilige Benedikt von Nursia für das gemeinschaftliche Klosterleben formuliert hat. So ist dieses "Hör"-Stück nicht nur ein Stück Hören eines geregelt ablaufenden Klosteralltags zwischen 4.30 und 20 Uhr. "Ausulta" ist auch das Hören auf das verklingende Chorgebet, das im gregorianischen Choral hier seit über 750 Jahren mehrmals täglich gesungen wird. Hörstück wie Klosterleben begegnen sich in einem Hörraum. Die Nähe zu den Jahreszeiten und der strukturierende Tagesablauf gaben meinem Hörstück dafür die Form." ( Johannes S. Sistermanns); SWR Edition - ArsAcustica: Die Reihe für akustische Kunst mit Hörspielen zwischen Soundpoesie und musikalischem Hörstück, Klangkunst und Bildender Kunst, Rock, Pop und Neuer Musik, Originalton-Collage und Soundspace, Hrsg. von Manfred Hess und Frank Halbig. deutsch. div.. https://samples.audible.de/bk/swrm/000310/bk_swrm_000310_sample.mp3.

    The Rise of Humans: Great Scientific Debates, Hörbuch, Digital, 774min
    Trying to understand our human origins has always been a fundamental part of who we are. Today, with the help of dramatic archaeological discoveries and groundbreaking advancements in technology and scientific understanding, we are closer than we've ever been to learning the true story. In recent decades, it has been the science of paleoanthropology that has led the investigation, helping us make sense of this controversial subject and providing us with a richer understanding of our origins. It's also sparked continued debate about key issues in human evolution. Did early humans evolve in Africa alone, or in regions throughout the world? Did Neandertals play an important role in our genetic heritage and, if so, how? Why did prehistoric humans form cooperative communities and create art? Now you can complete your own understanding of these issues in a fascinating 24-lecture series from an expert paleoanthropologist, who surveys both the questions that continue to rile the world's greatest minds in anthropology and the cutting-edge science responsible for them. The result is this expert guide to the wide-ranging debates over the most profound questions we can ask. Each lecture focuses on a single one of these questions and the sometimes surprising, sometimes fierce, and always illuminating debates surrounding them, including whether it was Africa or Asia that was more central to human origins, what prehistoric cultural groups were really like, and when humans actually reached the New World.

    The History of the Catholic Church: Tradition and Innovation, Hörbuch, Digital, 590min
    Take an unforgettable journey through the entire span of the Catholic Church's existence. In this essential course, The History of the Catholic Church: Tradition and Innovation, acclaimed historian and award-winning professor Dr. Christopher Bellitto (PhD, Fordham University) breathes new life into two millennia of history. The chronicle of Catholicism can seem daunting: full of names, dates, places, and phrases. Getting ahold of such a rich and diverse history requires guidance and a skillful approach. In this brilliant survey course, you'll explore traditions of belief and innovate ways to describe, share, and live that faith. With Dr. Bellitto as your guide, you'll look at the major periods of church history: early, medieval, reformation, and modern. As you take this journey, you'll examine changes and continuities across the centuries. In "Early Church", you'll see how a small group of believers spread the faith in a hostile pagan world. Then, in "Medieval Church", you'll see how popes and kings, bishops, and local lords fought to control the church as believers in the pews and plazas rediscovered the human Jesus of the Gospels. Meanwhile, religious life adapted as Christianity encountered new cultures. "Reformation Church" considers how the church recovered from its late medieval controversies and bridged the gap between science and religion. Finally, "Modern Church" explores how Vatican II has transformed Catholicism as it strides into its third millennium. Dynamic and insightful, this course is a must-have resource. By understanding the history of the church, you will understand its fascinating past as it journeys into the future. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher M. Bellitto.
