Summary:

Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Leibniz in just one hour.

Leibniz was the first great German philosopher to produce an all-embracing philosophical system. He came to the remarkable conclusion that space and time do not exist they are mere superstitious assumptions. Only things exist and only God is able to see things as they truly are from a perspectiveless viewpoint. Yet the infinite of ultimate objects that make up the world (monads) are not material: they are metaphysical and thus not subject to the laws of cause and effect. Their apparent interaction is the result of a pre-established harmony that is part of Gods creation.

Here is a concise, expert account of Leibnizs life and philosophical ideas that is entertainingly written and easy to understand. Also included are selections from Leibnizs work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Leibniz in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Summary:

Philosophy for busy people. Listen to a succinct account of the philosophy of Berkeley in just one hour.

Berkeleys philosophy denies the existence of matter. According to his work, there is no material world, only our own experience. So when you dont see something, it isnt there. Then how does the world persist? Because it is supported by the continuous perception of an all-seeing God. Berkeleys ideas appear to take empiricism to a ludicrous extreme. But is this quite so absurd as it seems? We are frequently forced to abandon common sense and the obvious in order to progress beyond the immediate muddle of everyday existence towards what we consider to be the truths of science.

This audiobook is an expert account of Berkeleys life and philosophical ideas entertainingly written and above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Berkeleys work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Berkeley in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Summary:

Philosophy for busy people. Listen to a succinct account of the philosophy of Schopenhauer in just one hour.

Arthur Schopenhauer, the philosopher of pessimism, makes it clear that he regards the world and our life in it as a bad joke. However, if the world is indifferent to our fate it doesnt thwart us deliberately its façade is supported by what Schopenhauer calls the universal Will. He saw this as a force that is blind and without purpose, bringing on all our misery and suffering. Schopenhauer taught that our only hope is to liberate ourselves from the terrible power of the Will and from the trappings of individualism and egoism that are at its mercy.

This audiobook is an expert account of Schopenhauers life and philosophical ideas entertainingly written and above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Schopenhauers work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Schopenhauer in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Summary:

Philosophy for busy people. Listen to a succinct account of the philosophy of Kierkegaard in just one hour.

Although Kierkegaard was not a philosopher in the academic sense, he produced what many people expect of philosophy. He didnt write about the world, he wrote about life how we live and how we choose to live, particularly focussing on the individual and the notion of his (or her) existence. Kierkegaard was one of the founders of existentialism, regarding the existing being as a purely subjective entity that lay beyond the reach of reason, logic, philosophical systems, theology and even the pretences of psychology, yet simultaneously remaining the source of all these subjects.

This audiobook is an expert account of Kierkegaards life and philosophical ideas entertainingly written and is above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Kierkegaards work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Kierkegaard in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.
