Title: Mirrors of the Soul Author: Kahlil Gibran Narrator: Ethan Sawyer Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 03-02-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Kahlil Gibran wrote prolifically and passionately in Arabic as well as English.

Title: The Good Life Subtitle: The Moral Individual in an Antimoral World Author: Cheryl Mendelson Narrator: Amy Snively Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 03-01-13 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Good Life is a deeply reasoned but entertaining polemic about how the notion of morality has been co-opted by the political right, as the culture increasingly embraces the shallow charms of celebrity, gives a pass when it comes to failings in the realm of marital fidelity, and lives comfortably with the notion that we are all driven, more or less, by greed and the desire for power over others. Mendelson, who is for gay rights, sexual equality, labor unions, and the strong regulation of business and finance, is decidedly conservative when it comes to personal morality. She believes that while the right manages to effectively portray its opponents as socialist slackers, it claims a moral superiority it doesn't at all exhibit, lacking, as she says, moral compassion, one of the essential moral virtues. Provocative, inspiring, and deeply grounded, The Good Life shows that while the moral life is a hard road, the more of us who recognize that it is out there to be attempted, the better our culture will be.

Le sue opere influenzarono notevolmente la filosofia cristiana del Medioevo, tanto che alcuni lo collocano tra i fondatori della Scolastica, per quanto l'opera si fondi sulle tradizioni stoiche e soprattutto neoplatoniche. Accusato, forse falsamente di aver voluto restaurare la libertà di Roma, nel settembre del 524 viene incarcerato a Pavia qui scrive il De consolatione philosophiae. Nel 525 verrà poi giustiziato. Lopera, libro prediletto di Dante, oltre che di tanti altri, studiosi e non, filosofi e non, cristiani, e non, si presenta come un dialogo nel quale la Filosofia, personificata da donna, dimostra che l'afflizione patita da Boezio per la sventura che lo ha colpito non ha in realtà bisogno di alcuna consolazione, rientrando nell'ordine naturale delle cose, governate dalla Provvidenza divina. Nel quinto e ultimo libro Boezio tratta inoltre il problema della prescienza e provvidenza divina e del libero arbitrio. Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Title: The Oz Factors: The Wizard of Oz as an Analogy to the Mysteries of Life Author: Lawrence R. Spencer Narrator: Barry Abrams Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 01-21-13 Publisher: Lawrence R. Spencer Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Our humanity has long since been exceeded by the power of the wicked witches of science and government to destroy all life with nuclear weapons, alter our DNA and control our minds with psychotropic drugs and our lives with media lies. Our thoughts and conjectures about life and the universe are often based on assumptions, unproven theories, hearsay, rumors and misinformation. Decisions we make in life may be based on ancient attitudes and archaic practices. There are 12 common denominators that prevent observation, understanding, and workable solutions to problems of existence. How do each of these 'Oz Factors' influence our history, science, philosophy, our lives and our future? We can chose our own Yellow Brick Road. We can pull back the curtain of rhetoric and dogma. We can build a better Emerald City for ourselves and our children. Do you really want to go back to Kansas?
