Title: Seeing Red Subtitle: A Study in Consciousness Author: Nicholas Humphrey Narrator: Howard Ellison Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 09-21-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: "Consciousness matters. Arguably it matters more than anything. The purpose of this book is to build towards an explanation of just what the matter is." Nicholas Humphrey begins this compelling exploration of the biggest of big questions with a challenge to the reader, and himself. What's involved in "seeing red"? What is it like for us to see someone else seeing something red? Seeing a red screen tells us a fact about something in the world. But it also creates a new fact - a sensation in each of our minds, the feeling of redness. And that's the mystery. Conventional science so far hasn't told us what conscious sensations are made of, or how we get access to them, or why we have them at all. From an evolutionary perspective, what's the point of consciousness? Humphrey offers a daring and novel solution, arguing that sensations are not things that happen to us, they are things we do - originating in our primordial ancestors' expressions of liking or disgust. Tracing the evolutionary trajectory through to human beings, he shows how this has led to sensations playing the key role in the human sense of Self. The Self, as we now know it from within, seems to have fascinating other-worldly properties. It leads us to believe in mind-body duality and the existence of a soul. And such beliefs - even if mistaken - can be highly adaptive, because they increase the value we place on our own and others' lives. "Consciousness matters," Humphrey concludes with striking paradox, "because it is its function to matter. It has been designed to create in human beings a Self whose life is worth pursuing." The book is published by Harvard University Press. Critic Reviews: "The strength of Humphrey's book lies in its skillful blending of ideas from varied sources to stimulate new ways of thinking about consciousness. In effectively doing so, while presenting a fascinating window on the thought of a distinguished consciousness researcher, Seeing Red is a wonderful success." (Nature) "The argument accessibly interweaves empirical research and philosophical analysis, to produce a most important little book." (Times Literary Supplement) "Seeing Red is a brilliantly inventive account of the evolution of consciousness, the best yet." (Prospect Magazine)

"L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps, une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne, une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique." Michel Onfray La Contre-histoire de la Philosophie de Michel Onfray s'apparente à un catalogue raisonné de l'histoire de la pensée. Mais un catalogue dans sa version orale et improvisée qui permet par la verve et l'authenticité d'une transmission incarnée de démocratiser le savoir de la Philosophie occidentale. L'intervenant , philosophe et écrivain français, né à Argentan le premier janvier 1959, commença par enseigner la philosophie à une classe de terminale du lycée technique de Caen. En 2002, il démissionna de l'Education Nationale afin de créer l'Université Populaire de Caen. Il y enseigne depuis la "contre-histoire de la philosophie" ici présentée. Michel Onfray souhaite formuler une théorie de l'hédonisme au travers de ses ouvrages, et se propose de réconcilier l'homme et son corps. Pour lui, la philosophie est un art de vivre qui permet à l'homme de se débarrasser de ses illusions. ©2012 Michel Onfray / Groupe Frémeaux Colombini / France Culture (P)2011 / 2012 Radio France / Frémeaux & Associés / Grasset / Université populaire de Caen

Title: The Ultimate Why Question: Why Is There Anything at All Rather Than Nothing Whatsoever? Subtitle: Studies in Philosophy & the History of Philosophy Author: John F. Wippel (editor) Narrator: Kevin Charles Minatrea Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: This volume gathers studies by prominent scholars and philosophers about the question how have major figures from the history of philosophy, and some contemporary philosophers, addressed "the ultimate why question": why is there anything at all rather than nothing whatsoever? The authors take this question seriously, striving to go beyond accounting for the present state of reality as distinguished from a prior or subsequent state, to the more profound question of discerning why anything whatsoever exists. The responses are varied: Lloyd P. Gerson considers Greek philosophy, and May Sim examines Chinese philosophy. Jon McGinnis explores a leading medieval Muslim philosopher, Avicenna, and volume editor John F. Wippel explores a leading medieval Christian philosopher, Thomas Aquinas. These chapters are followed by four responses from the modern period: Tad M. Schmaltz on Descartes; Daniel Dahlstrom on Leibniz, especially as he is understood by Heidegger; Edward C. Halper on Hegel; and, finally, Holger Zaborowski on F. W. J. Schelling. The final section of the book contains personal responses proposed by three contemporary thinkers who have addressed the problem in very different ways - Robert Cummings Neville, Brian Martine, and Nicholas Rescher. Listeners will gain a greater understanding and appreciation of an issue that has taxed the ingenuity of many philosophers through the centuries and continues to intrigue many thinkers today. The book is published by The Catholic University of America Press. Critic Reviews: "An excellent collection of very interesting explorations of the ultimate why question. This collection persuasively confirms not only the unavoidability of the question but also the rich resources of thought that different philosophers have brought and still bring to the question." (William Desmond, professor of philosophy, The Catholic University of Leuven)

Categoria: Nonfiction, Philosophy Riepilogo Editore: Con il "Discorso sul metodo" di Cartesio (René Descartes) (1637) potete ascoltare alcune delle pagine che hanno fatto la storia del moderno pensiero occidentale. Cartesio pone le basi filosofiche del "Cogito ergo sum" e del famoso, ormai diventato luogo comune, "dubbio cartesiano". Non solo filosofia ma anche inimitabile letteratura che descrive con grande chiarezza lo stato spirituale e mentale di un uomo che ha ipostatizzato quella frattura, quella definitiva separazione fra Mente e Corpo e che ancor oggi solleva enormi problemi di epistemologia, vale a dire questioni vitali legate al 'pensare a come pensiamo'. Nel dialogo eminentemente socratico 'La ricerca della verità mediante il lume naturale' Cartesio evoca la figura del filosofo sotto la veste di Eudosso ed espone in forma piana, pedagogica, i punti nodali della sua speculazione metafisica. ©2011 il Narratore audiolibri (P)2011 il Narratore audiolibri

Le débat contemporain, polarisé sur la question de la validité scientifique des thèses freudiennes, oublie trop souvent d'en interroger le sens profond et d'en mesurer l'influence toujours vivante. Luc Ferry choisit, lui, de mettre en valeur d'une part, les apports aujourd'hui incontournables de Freud à la psychologie et d'autre part, sa contribution décisive à la pensée occidentale qu'il a bouleversée à l'égal de Nietzsche, Marx et Heidegger. Les clés de la pensée freudienne sont rendues accessibles à tous dans ce cours particulier de Luc Ferry. L'intervenant " , comme tous les philosophes est d'abord un professeur de philosophie. En effet, philosopher au XXIe siècle n'a de sens qu'en prenant en compte l'histoire de cette discipline qui transforme tous les penseurs en héritiers. Luc Ferry propose pour la première fois des cours dans une langue simple, permettant en 3 à 4 heures d'accéder à une approche des idées d'un grand philosophe et les clés essentielles pour pouvoir ensuite aborder son oeuvre."

Title: Philosophical Tales Author: Martin Cohen Narrator: Matt Addis Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Enlightening and entertaining, Philosophical Tales examines a few of the fascinating biographical details of history's greatest philosophers (alas, mostly men) and highlights their contributions to the field. By applying the true philosophical approach to philosophy itself, the text provides us with a refreshing 'alternative history' of philosophy. Critic Reviews: "Philosophical Tales is highly recommended, not only for debutants but also for the cognoscenti who will find much here both amusing and stimulating." (The Philosopher) "A lover of philosophical ideas and practiced debunker of intellectual sham, Martin Cohen knocks some thirty important philosophers from Socrates to Derrida off their pedestals, and presents in a series of philosophical tales various aspects of their thought, life and personality which few of us ever suspected." (Zenon Stavrinides, University of Bradford)
