  Duns Scotus and Medieval Christianity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 176min

  The Roman Empire became Christian in 323 AD; about two centuries later, the rest of Europe began to convert. Medieval culture blurred the line between the sacred and the secular. While political and religious hierarchies vied for influence, liberal arts education claimed to seek sacred truths through secular means. But when Aristotle's works were first translated from Arabic, there began a conflict between reason and faith. Franciscan John Duns Scotus was one philosopher who tried to bridge this gap. The World of Philosophy series presents the questions, interests, and worldviews of the world's great philosophers and philosophical traditions. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations, in understandable language, give you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lynn Redgrave.

  The Importance of Being Earnest, Hörbuch, Digital, 95min

  A wonderfully charming recording available for the first time as a digital download. Jack Worthing lives in the country with his budding young ward Cecily Cardew and her fusspot governess, Miss Prism. To escape his situation, Jack invents a brother named Ernest who lives in London and frequently needs him. When in London, Jack then poses as Ernest. This elaborate fabrication proceeds smoothly - until Jack/Ernest falls in love and his fiancée’s mother discovers there is more – or, rather, less – to him than meets the eye. “It is exquisitely trivial, a delicate bubble of fancy and it has its philosophy; that we should treat all trivial things of life seriously, and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality.” —Oscar Wilde Language: English. Narrator: Alec McCowan, Lynn Redgrave. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/000693/bk_hcuk_000693_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Philosophies of India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 177min

  India has perhaps the oldest living philosophical tradition in the world. Though both Buddhism and Jainism began in India, its primary influence is the Vedic tradition. The Vedas are the fundamental Hindu scriptures and the basis of the six systems of Indian philosophy. Hindu philosophy affirms an ultimate or universal reality, but it is also individualistic, embracing many alternatives or paths to one reality. Also characteristic is the belief in reincarnation, and in karma, the law of moral causation. The World of Philosophy series presents the questions, interests, and worldviews of the world's great philosophers and philosophical traditions. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations, in understandable language, give you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lynn Redgrave.

  Stoics and Epicureans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 163min

  Stoics and Epicureans date from the Hellenistic period, but the debate between these two modes of thought continues today. For the Stoics, the goal of human life was to align one's nature with the rational order of all things by cultivating pure reason. Through the practice of dialectic, they aimed for ethical righteousness and self-control. In sad or turbulent times, stoical endurance has appealed to many people as a way of coping. The Epicureans also valued moderation, but they were suspicious of overly sophisticated intellectual debate, relying more on sense impressions to establish truth. Concluding that life is simple and its truths easy to perceive, they sought a life of minimum pain and maximum pleasure by rejecting external pursuits in favor of lasting inner values, like wisdom, honor, and peace of mind. ungekürzt.

  Briefe an Julia

  Als die New Yorker Journalistin Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) zusammen mit ihrem Verlobten, dem angehenden Restaurantbesitzer Victor (Gael García Bernal), in seine Heimat fliegt, hofft sie auf ein paar unbeschwerte, romantische Urlaubstage. Führt sie die Reise doch nach Verona, die Stadt von Romeo und Julia! Schnell muss Sophie jedoch feststellen, dass Victors Leidenschaft eher der italienischen Kochkunst als ihr und der Schönheit Veronas gilt.

  In the Country of Last Things, Hörbuch, Digital, 171min

  From a background of ease and comfort, from a time and place where life still makes some kind of sense, Anna Blume embarks on a search for her missing brother. Soon she finds herself trapped in a city whose consciousness is obsessed with last things: with the means and manner of death. In this culture of doom, the masses are homeless, theft has ceased to be a crime. Production has ceased, and dying and disassembly are the only growth industries. As survival becomes her sole motivation, Anna takes up the occupation of scavenger, searching for objects from the past which she then sells for food and shelter. But even in this landscape of devastation, her humanity prevails as she finds friendship, love and even some hope for the future.

  Confucius, Lao Tzu, and Chinese Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 159min

  China's two greatest philosophers, Confucius and Lao Tzu, were intensely interested in how we should live and how a good society is governed. The central concepts of Confucianism are li, the proper ordering of society through rituals and ceremonies, and zhen, the proper ordering of the self through humaneness, benevolence, and love. Daoism, taught under such masters as Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, meditates on the interdependence of opposites and teaches the path of non-resistance. Westerners are only now beginning to understand the central importance of the tradition and community emphasized in Chinese thought for over 2,000 years. The World of Philosophy series is a dramatic presentation, in understandable language, of the concerns, questions, interests, and overall outlook of the world's great philosophers and philosophical traditions. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lynn Redgrave.
