Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Dieses Hörbuch ist eine Einführung in Parmenides Denken für all diejenigen, die Interesse an den Wurzeln der westlichen Philosophie haben. Parmenides hat entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Philosophie der Antike ausgeübt und dadurch schlechthin die ganze Philosophiegeschichte geprägt. Schritt für Schritt wird der Hörer durch Parmenides' Gedankengang geleitet. Auf diese Weise wird nicht nur ein tiefes Verstehen des Klassikers "Über die Natur" ermöglicht, sondern es wird auch die Faszination und die Herausforderung dieses Textes ans Licht gebracht, der sich dem Hörer nur dann erschließt, wenn es ihm gelingt, das Werk in seiner Gesamtheit zu betrachten.

Members Reviews:

Poses more questions...

than it answers. And a lot of the statements it makes about family and culture are pretty obvious. Some highlights, but no philosophical fireworks here. It was ok at best.

Title: Evolution Can't be True Because I Don't Like Bananas

Subtitle: My Ponderings on Mr. Darwin's Flawed Theory

Author: Percyvelle Pennington III

Narrator: Dan Absalonson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-08-14

Publisher: James M. Lowrance Publishing

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Here again, I will be gracing another major subject with my irreproachable wisdom and my brain-flipping intelligence, in this audiobook. I doubt that there is a single evolutionist who can match wits with me because I am a student of life and of nature. My own self-administered studies are far greater than those that can be offered by universities and schools (not to degrade the importance of them for most people) or by attaining educational degrees and credentials (also very important for the right people).

I need none of these things personally because I have already attained an education on my own, that far exceeds those that would provide me an officially-recognized expertize on any of the subjects I address. No, it is rather my own students - those who follow my written dissertations and teachings, who supply me with the credentials of an expert. Now here we go, into those golden gates of my chapters, which will forever change your brain for the better.

You will in fact become 'brain-flipped,' so brace yourself and delve into my words of infallible wisdom! I hereby grant you permission to proceed!

Members Reviews:

Darwin would have a snicker or two if he read this book.

Get satire on those who make up their minds about something without investigating first. Unfortunately there are those out there that have the opinions Mr. Percyville Pennington expressed.

Amusing

It was a very amusing read. If it weren't for his humorous execution, I may have stopped reading close to the beginning. His argument wasn't really strong. I would checkout more of his works just because he seems

quite entertaining.

Hilarious

I found this book to be hilarious and enlightening. Reading between the lines there are pointed truths that I truly could appreciate.

Title: The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead

Author: David Shields

Narrator: Peter Marinker

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-25-11

Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Mesmerized and somewhat unnerved by his 97-year-old father's vitality and optimism, David Shields undertakes an original investigation of our flesh-and-blood existence, our mortal being. Weaving together personal anecdote, biological fact, philosophical doubt, cultural criticism, and the wisdom of an eclectic range of writers and thinkers - from Lucretius to Woody Allen - Shields expertly renders both a hilarious family portrait and a truly resonant meditation on mortality.

A New York Times Bestseller in 2008, The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead, is an insightful, honest and uplifting portrait of what it means to be human, and one day to die.

Critic Reviews:

"Breathtaking . . . Shields had us laughing out loud, even in the face of death." (Time Out, Chicago)

"An edifying, unclassifiable mixture of filial love and Oedipal rage." (Time)

"Shields is a sharp-eyed, self-deprecating, at times hilarious writer." (Wall Street Journal)

Members Reviews:

Stills and a movie

I'm trying to determine why I found this book so fascinating. I think it has something to do with the rhythm. Shields offer us a series of snapshots--these being the many many factoids about our bodies--interspersed with the movies--these being the stories that he tells about himself and his father. This is his rhythm: snapshots, movies, snapshots, movies. I loved this interplay.

Shields has a wickedy dry, and yet very empathetic sense of humor. He piles up the facts and tells us a few stories. If you can find the secret of life in all this, fine. If not, that's ok as well.

Shields isn't pretending to offer any answers. That's the point: life flowers and wilts. In a way it's noble, and in a way, ridiculous. Bittersweet--that's how I'd characterize this book. Resigned. And fun to read.

lame. A long

Quite simply.... lame. A long, endless string of facts about how ones body changes as it ages. Personal anecdotes do nothing to bring any sort of cohesiveness to this rambling mess. This was a national best seller?? What nation? Stay away from whichever one it is and if the USA, then hang your head in embarrassment. No redeeming qualities. Not funny, not insightful, no greater point or meaning to be found.

I enjoyed this book, but found it more to be a memoir of the author's life.

The author's obsession with death is revealed throughout the book. The interesting question is: `Do atheists and theists view death in the same light?' If you read books by saints or religious people, you'll find that indeed they welcome death. Death to them is not an end but a beginning. At death, we are reunited with our loved ones. The world of the dead is another world where we are as much alive as in this world.

Throughout our body, since conception, a process of birth and death is taking place every second--new cells are born while old ones die. Our body is attuned to the constant bombardment of birth and death taking place, yet we--the part that is not the body (call it spirit or soul)--are not. Why? Why do some people welcome death while others shun away from it? Would we be scared of dying if there was no love in this world? These are actually very interesting questions to ponder.

A lot of the book was about the author's relationship with his father. I found some chapters slow.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

La pensée antique est au fondement de l'histoire des idées et de la philosophie occidentale. Fondamentalement pratique et axée sur le quotidien, elle est marquée par le stoïcisme et la recherche de la sagesse sous toutes ses formes. Découvrez-en toute la profondeur en 400 citations soigneusement choisies pour présenter sous forme condensée les enseignements majeurs des figures incontournables de la Grèce antique.

Platon met en scène le geste primordial de l'interrogation de soi, pour se débarrasser des préjugés et de l'illusion ; son élève Aristote est l'un des penseurs les plus influents que le monde ait connus, et il dirigea la philosophie comme une recherche du savoir pour lui-même, interrogation sur le monde et science des sciences. Euripide est un des trois grands auteurs tragiques de l'Athènes classique, avec Eschyle et Sophocle, et connut un immense succès auprès de ses contemporains qui le rangeaient aux côtés de Socrate ; enfin, l'esclave Epictète resta dans l'histoire aux côtés des empereurs pour son enseignement stoïque, pensé pour alléger le quotidien en présentant les attitudes les plus sages.

Chaque philosophe voit sa pensée résumée en 100 citations essentielles, marquantes et faciles à mémoriser. Ce format concis et accessible est idéal pour la préparation aux examens et aux concours (bac, capes, agrégation...), la culture générale et le développement personnel.

Publisher's Summary:

Multiple choice tests expose broken educational institutions for what they are. Essay assignments help such institutions conceal what they are. And that is why universities spurn multiple choice tests in favor of writing assignments.
