Theresia Enzensberger kann nicht schlafen. Also schreibt sie ein Buch über den Schlaf und folgt dabei den verschiedenen Stadien, die wir in der Nacht durchleben. So beginnt sie in der zähneknirschenden Leichtschlafphase mit einem Essay über die Moralisierung von Schlaf, Traum als politische Metapher und die Folgen allgemeinen Schlafmangels. Fast unmerklich wird ihr Text in der Tiefschlafphase privater, innerlicher, und eröffnet uns eine intensivere, persönlichere Sicht auf die Welt, die Kunst, die Literatur.

Der vorliegende Text in Hörbuchform ist einer der früh veröffentlichten Werke Nietzsches. Darin greift er zum einen die Thematik auf, warum die geisteswissenschaftliche Bildung das Fundament von künftigen Generationen, Schullehrern und Universitätspersonal abbildet und in welcher Weise dieser Bildungs-Humanismus sich entwickeln und gedeihen, aber auch irritieren und verwirren kann und zwar sowohl Lehrende wie Lernende. Wo liegt der Ursprung unseres Bildungsverständnisses?

Le découragement est le problème majeur de notre temps. Là où nous pourrions avancer, nous baissons les bras. Là où nous pourrions être victorieux, nous partons perdants. On nous a fait croire que nous devions être dans le contrôle permanent, dans l'efficacité absolue. Mais la vie ne se contrôle pas, elle ne se gère pas.

Do we live inside a simulated reality or a pocket universe embedded in a larger structure about which we know virtually nothing? Is consciousness a purely physical matter, or might it require something extra, something nonphysical? According to the philosopher Eric Schwitzgebel, it’s hard to say. In The Weirdness of the World, Schwitzgebel argues that the answers to these fundamental questions lie beyond our powers of comprehension. We can be certain only that the truth—whatever it is—is weird.

Philosophy - the term sounds fascinating, beautiful, somehow romantic and harmonious, and at the same time like great intellectual effort. Yet philosophy is actually neither particularly romantic nor particularly strenuous. It is true that one has to use one's brain, and perhaps some things exceed normal common sense, but basically philosophy only means to be interested in man and the world. The image one has in one's mind of ancient Greek philosophers strolling in their long robes in the Athenian sun while exchanging their thoughts may seem romantic, but they often dealt with serious topics.

Hvordan lever man som menneske i kærlighed og visdom? Dette spørgsmål svarer Birte Osholms bog "Kærlighed og visdom" på. Den vil skabe kærlighedens velfærdssamfund. Ægte velfærd virkeliggøres nemlig først, når det er kærligheden, der sætter dagsordenen og ikke det materielle. Når indre værdier realiseres og derigennem bliver til velfærd - mellem mennesker. Med andre ord er bogen mellem linierne en kærlig kritik af vort materielle velfærdssamfund, som ikke levner kærligheden mellem mennesker mange chancer.

"Warum lieben wir? Und kann man Liebe erlernen?" Bestsellerautor Wilhelm Schmid zeigt, wie es gelingt, die Liebe erfolgreich und erfüllend zu leben. Amüsant, leicht hörbar und teils sehr persönlich erzählt er darin von seinen Erkenntnissen über die Liebe, stellt sich den großen Fragen von Macht, Sex und Geld und unterschlägt auch nicht den alltäglichen Kleinkram, der das Zusammenleben oft erschwert.

Jay Garfield, a leading expert on Buddhist philosophy, offers a brief and radically clear account of an idea that at first might seem frightening but that promises to liberate us and improve our lives, our relationships, and the world. Drawing on Indian and East Asian Buddhism, Daoism, Western philosophy, and cognitive neuroscience, Garfield shows why it is perfectly natural to think you have a self—and why it actually makes no sense at all and is even dangerous. Most importantly, he explains why shedding the illusion that you have a self can make you a better person.

Im Jahre 1641 bemüht René Descartes sich, die Philosophie neu zu begründen. Er sammelt alle persönlichen Erfahrungen von erlittenen Irrtümern, erwiesener eigener Unzulänglichkeit um ein widerspruchfreies Gebiet als Neuanfang etablieren zu können. Er geht so weit mit der Infragestellung der Welt, dass er Gott als bösen Dämon akzeptieren würde, wenn es seiner Wahrheitsfindung diente. Sein gefundener Bereich heißt "Ich zweifle, also bin ich". Diese berühmten sechs Meditationen sind eine Einladung zum Denken.
