Publisher's Summary:

What might society look like if we were brave enough to emerge fully from the shadow of the Christian God? The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche explores this intriguing question in his 1886 work, Beyond Good and Evil. Going further, Nietzsche then asks of his "philosophers of the future" that they take on the challenge of supplying humanity with new ideals to live by.

Nietzsche bases his understanding of our current morality in history and psychology, tracing its roots through to the Christian religion. He also claims that the systems of many illustrious philosophers before him are nothing more than fabrications, created only to express the unconscious drives of their authors.

Although Beyond Good and Evil sold just 114 copies when it was first published, the book was never out of print in the 20th century. Nietzsche's ideas continue to be central to philosophy and are the subject of books, lecture courses, blogs, and dedicated journals throughout Europe and America. He is essential listening for anybody, anywhere, who is interested in moral philosophy.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison

Author: Meghan Kallman, Rachele Dini

Narrator: Macat.com

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-06-16

Publisher: Macat International Limited.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

How do those in power exercise that power over a state's citizens? French thinker Michel Foucault's 1975 work Discipline and Punish looks to answer this question by investigating the prison system. Foucault does not believe that the modern-day system developed out of reformers' humanitarian concerns. He argues that prison both created and then became part of a bigger system of surveillance that extends throughout society.

Power is no longer exerted directly through violence. Prisoners who were once executed are now far more likely to be monitored and controlled. And the fear of being constantly watched leads prisoners to self-regulate; to behave in ways those in power approve of. This insidious method has moved way beyond the bounds of the prison walls. It is now a part of many aspects of our lives, inflicted on us in many places. Surveillance - or systematic monitoring - by government institutions produces "docile bodies," which Foucault defines as bodies that can be monitored and psychologically controlled, and that are then trained to self-govern. We have become the sum of what we abstain from doing for fear of being seen, judged, or punished.

Title: A Macat Analysis of David Hume's An Enquiry of Human Understanding

Author: Michael O'Sullivan

Narrator: Macat.com

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-30-16

Publisher: Macat International Limited.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Excited by the possibilities hinted at by the major scientific breakthroughs of the day, Scottish philosopher David Hume set out to construct a science of the mind. 1748's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is the result.

A work that had a huge influence on great thinkers including celebrated German philosopher Immanuel Kant, An Enquiry is Hume's examination of how we obtain information and form beliefs. He argues that we mainly gain knowledge through our senses, a theory known as empiricism. But while the impressions from our senses are key to our beliefs about the world, Hume argues that reason and facts play only a limited part.

His thinking here led him to dangerous places. His conclusion that many religious beliefs of the time could therefore not be justified was viewed with great suspicion during his lifetime. Yet An Enquiry is now widely considered one of the greatest works of Western philosophy, and Hume one of its key thinkers.

You can find out more about how David Hume's ideas have been challenged and applied - and how his work has impacted on thinkers in other academic disciplines - by exploring further in the Macat Library.

Title: Political Philosophy: An audio course on Western Political Theory

Author: Grahame Lock

Narrator: Grahame Lock

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-22-16

Publisher: Home Academy

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

This audio course examines the major periods in the history of Western political thought and questions the political and social order. It considers the ways in which thinkers have responded to the particular political problems of their day, and the ways in which they contribute to a broader conversation about human goods and needs, justice, democracy, and the proper relationship of the individual to the state.

Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas:

It has been said that all philosophy is a footnote to Plato. Ludwig Wittgenstein asked why was Plato so very clever? Or is there another reason for the immense influence of the classical world on all subsequent European thought? What is the effect, in this connection, of St Augustine's new, Christian doctrine of politics as a necessary evil?

Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau:

Machiavelli the Florentine is a provocateur of Realreal politik, who argues for the subordination of Christian morality to the effective if unwritten rules of the political game. Thomas Hobbes takes yet another step toward pure realism: man, he says, wants only to survive, to minimiseminimize pain and maximisemaximize pleasure.

Tocqueville, Marx, Freud, the Present Day:

Alexis de Tocqueville visited America in the 19th century and was shocked by its democratic tendencies, which he thought would destroy civilization-as-we-know it - and yet were unstoppable. Marx produced his well-known account of the rise and coming fall of the capitalist class: not so much a moral condemnation as a historical forecast. Was he right? Finally, we look at present-day currents in political philosophy. Are there any new ideas in the world?
