Éditeur: Éditions Thélème

Résumé de l'éditeur:

La domination masculine est tellement ancrée dans nos inconscients que nous ne l'apercevons plus, tellement accordée à nos attentes que nous avons du mal à la remettre en question. La découverte des permanences oblige à renverser la manière habituelle de poser le problème : quels sont les mécanismes et les institutions qui accomplissent le travail de reproduction. Est-ce la famille, l'église, l'école ou bien l'état ? Est-il possible de les neutraliser pour libérer les forces de changement qu'ils parviennent à entraver ?

Title: Radical for Capitalism: An Introduction to the Political Thought of Ayn Rand

Author: William R Thomas

Narrator: William R Thomas

Format: Unabridged

Length: 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-16

Publisher: The Atlas Society

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

This essay explores the political theory of Ayn Rand, a topic that catapulted to the national stage during the last presidential election following the nomination of Rep. Paul Ryan (a self-described enthusiast of Rand's ideas and novels) to the Romney ticket. Ayn Rand's ideas continue to generate public debate in political and cultural circles, but those ideas are frequently misunderstood and misrepresented. This book provides a succinct summary of key aspects of her thought, enabling you to intelligently discuss Rand's ideas with others. It is written by a proponent of Objectivism, the philosophy that Rand founded.

Overview of "Radical for Capitalism: An Introduction to the Political Thought of Ayn Rand"

Critiques of Ayn Rand that denounce her for a cold materialism are simply off-point, the author argues. Rand looked out on the world and saw endless vistas of possibility for human beings. Hers was not the despairing, post-religious nihilism that characterized so many 20th-century philosophers. Rand's works endow the essential activities of modern human life, including productive work, the use of human reason, and exchange through the marketplace, with the spiritual stature of moral greatness. That her works have this inspirational value is clearly evident in their enduring popularity. Rand projected a sense of nobility appropriate to modern scientific and industrial civilization, embracing business life and technology with a wholehearted appreciation of their potential. This is one basic aspect of the vision she projected in her novels, and it is this exalted view of industry, individualism, and the free market that had the strongest effect on American culture of all her ideas.

Cliff notes of Rand Philosophy

For those who want a quick introduction to Rand and her objectivist philosophy. This is a great place to start. It even guide you in your literary inquiry before you commit to a 1000 page book. However, any enlighten mind should "rationally" conclude that Gault's speech in Atlas shrugged IS a must read, or at least those with intellectually honest and open minds.

Five Stars

Excellent book

A short, clear, and point-by-point summary and synthesis of Ayn Rand's stance on capitalism.

This is a short, clear, and point-by-point summary and synthesis of Ayn Rand's stance on capitalism. It covers her reasons for supporting laissez-faire capitalism as the ideal moral/political/economic system, citing her various texts, and offering historical context where helpful. This is a helpful primer for those who want to understand Rand's approach to an optimal politics and a succinct review for Objectivists who want to put all the pieces together in one place.

The Moral Basis of Capitalism

This book is an excellent summarization of Ayn Rand's philosophical arguments for Capitalism. It is beautifully written, perhaps better than Rand herself.

My favorite quote from the book is "Finally, because our moral principles can have the same objective status as scientific principles, they are as absolute ..."

Title: A Macat Analysis of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics

Author: Giovanni Gellera, Jon W. Thompson

Narrator: Macat.com

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-19-16

Publisher: Macat International Limited.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Aristotle wrote Nicomachean Ethics in Greece in the fourth century BCE, a period of extraordinary all-round intellectual development. He was a student of Plato, who in turn was a student of Socrates. Aristotle went on to teach the warrior and empire builder Alexander the Great. More than two millennia later, Aristotle's thorough exploration of virtue, reason, and the ultimate human good still forms the basis of the values that lie at the heart of Western civilization.

According to Aristotle, the ultimate human good is eudaimonia, an ancient Greek word that can be translated as happiness, or flourishing. Eudaimonia comes from a life of virtuous (or good) action. Virtues such as justice, restraint, and practical wisdom cannot simply be taught - they must be developed over time by cultivating virtuous habits. The making of virtuous choices can be developed by using practical wisdom and by recognizing the desirable middle ground between extremes of human behavior.

Title: A Macat Analysis of G. E. M. Anscombe's "Modern Moral Philosophy"

Author: Jonny Blamey, Jon Thompson

Narrator: Macat.com

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-16

Publisher: Macat International Limited.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

In her 1958 article "Modern Moral Philosophy", British philosopher Elizabeth (G. E. M.) Anscombe does nothing less than challenge the very foundations of moral philosophy, the discipline that tries to understand right and wrong action. The article sets out three main ideas. First, that moral philosophy should not be explored until a philosophy of psychology is already in place. Second, that philosophers who do not believe in God should not use ideas about "obligation" and "duty". Why? Because they are a hangover from an earlier, more religious time, when moral philosophy was based on our relation to God. Last, that modern philosophers had been unoriginal and had been united in their belief that only consequences matter to morality.

Anscombe's article helped to promote virtue ethics, which considers a person's moral character when evaluating ethical behavior. This provided an important alternative to the dominant schools of thought at the time, schools that focused on judgments about ethics based on set rules (deontology) or on actions that produced the best outcome for the most people (utilitarianism).

Title: Summary: The Death of Money

Author: Summary Station

Narrator: Mutt Rogers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-20-16

Publisher: Summary Station

Genres: Nonfiction, Economics

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about the possible future death of money and what you can do to prepare in a fraction of the time it takes to listen to the actual book!

In a windowless meeting room inside the CIA, John Mulheren (a well-known Wall Street stock trader) called the days leading up to 9/11 "the most blatant case of insider trading I've ever seen". There is clear evidence that a circle of people had known about the attacks days in advance and had profited from the chaos of 9/11. In the weeks after the attacks, Osama bin Laden blatantly bragged about the losses Wall Street had sustained as a result of the attacks, proving that there was an economic plan in regard to the attacks that affected the stock market.

With this in mind, the CIA began Project Prophesy. Formally launched by the CIA in April 2002, Project Prophesy investigated the possibility that terrorists could profit in the options market by trading stocks before their attacks and whether or not the intelligence community could prevent future attacks by learning to recognize these patterns. Prophesy concluded that while terrorists themselves were not directly involved in insider trading, their close social circles used knowledge of future attacks to profit in the stock exchange. These trades most often occurred between 72 hours before an attack and 30 minutes after in an effort to avoid detection.

In 2004 Project Prophesy's original mission was winding down, and the group was officially disbanded. However, MARKINT was formed as a small break-off group to analyze market intelligence. MARKINT developed a signal engine that was able to analyze stocks and detect suspicious insider trading. While any nonthreatening activity was handed off to the SEC, the program continued to search for terrorist threats evident in insider trading.

RIP OFF

This is not enough to even be labelled a summary. It is an over-priced pamphlet, so small that the pages are not even numbered. Absolute rip off!

For a bit more money, buy the whole book. This is an advertisement for the book and nothing more; even the over sized print is designed to make it appear as though something of merit is being said within the text. I REPEAT: THIS IS RIP OFF AND A SCAM.

Weak and Not Worth The Price

This was a thin and weak analysis. Not worth the price.

very helpful, worth the investment of time and of money

Though I benefited from this book, and intend to utilize more if them, I'm more than a little surprised at the lazy editing! I did not make notes, but there are more than a few missed articles, apostrophes and the like.

How long will the Dollar be the King of currency???

A summary of the original book by the same title. Gets your attention about the delicate condition the Dollar is in and why it could be short lived.

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

I found nothing of value in this pamphlet. A rehash of commonly known economics.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Edmund Gettier's Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?

Author: Jason Schukraft

Narrator: Macat.com

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-06-16

Publisher: Macat International Limited.

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

How do we know what knowledge is? In his 1963 article, "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?", American philosopher Edmund Gettier radically challenges the accepted definition of knowledge itself.

Greek philosopher Plato, discussing knowledge well over 2,000 years ago, defined it as "justified true belief". To be considered knowledge, a proposition had to fulfill three criteria:

A) It is true.

B) You believe it to be true.

C) You are justified in believing it is true.

But in two ingenious cases, Gettier demonstrates that somebody's justified belief can be true because of nothing more than luck. This, he argues, means that justified true belief is not necessarily knowledge. In just 930 words, Gettier forces a total rethink of a key philosophical theory.

Gettier's article will fascinate anyone interested in the philosophy of knowledge, and the question it addresses is now known as the Gettier Problem. Having been cited thousands of times over the past 50 years, his paper now boasts the highest citation-per-word ratio of any philosophical work ever published.

Titre: 100 citations d'Immanuel Kant

Auteur: Immanuel Kant

Narrateur: Patrick Blandin

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 23 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 05-20-16

Éditeur: Compagnie du Savoir

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Immanuel Kant est une figure incontournable de la philosophie allemande. On lui doit une compréhension absolument nouvelle de la façon dont l'esprit façonne l'expérience. Kant constate qu'on ne peut jamais percevoir que des phénomènes, c'est-à-dire des perceptions déterminées par nos sens et nos structures mentales, et jamais la chose objective, l'événement en soi ; à partir de là, il s'attache à décrire les structures de l'esprit à l'origine de nos perceptions. Ayant par-là répondu à la question "Que puis-je savoir", Kant en vient alors à se demander "Que puis-je faire", c'est-à-dire à poser les fondements de la morale. Ces 100 citations ont été choisies parmi ses œuvres majeures (Critique de la raison pure, Fondements de la métaphysique des mœurs, Critique du jugement, etc.), afin de fournir une approche claire et directe à la pensée d'un des plus grands philosophes.

Title: Learn and Understand Philosophy

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Philosophy is not a lifestyle. Each individual does not have his or her own logic. Philosophy is not just a hypothesis about something. Nor is philosophy a conviction or a wish. Logic is an action: a mission after intelligence. Philosophy is a movement of thought. Philosophy is a specific, one-of-a-kind sort of thought or style of considering. Logic is not to be mistaken for its item. What a savant gives is a group of rational thought, not a philosophy. A philosopher authorizes a philosophy, a journey after intelligence.

Philosophy is not what collection of thought one might want to call one's own or might want to have faith in - a decision based on individual inclinations or sentiments. The reasoning is an interest. One can be philosophical. One can be a logician. One cannot pick a philosophy. philosophy, seeing that it might be connected at all to a lifestyle, is a type of intuition intended to guide activity or to endorse a lifestyle. The insightful lifestyle, if there is one, is shown in an existence in which activity is held to be best coordinated when philosophical reflection has given that heading - e.g., Socrates, the worldview of a thinker.

Philosophy is a movement of thought, a kind of consideration. Philosophy is basic and extensive thought, the most basic and complete way of deduction that the human species has formulated. This scholarly process incorporates both an expository and a manufactured method of operation. Philosophy as a basic and complete procedure of thought includes determining disarray, unmasking suspicions, uncovering presuppositions, recognizing significance, testing positions, revising twists, searching for reasons, looking at world perspectives, and addressing calculated structures.

Length: 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-18-16

Publisher: IntroBooks

Genres: Nonfiction, Economics

Publisher's Summary:

Also known as "the free market economy" or "free enterprise", capitalism represents an economic system which encompasses factories, production lines, shipping agencies, and many other work fields where several people can own their private practices while employing others. Even the word "capital" is interconnected with all the different types of resources, such as human and material resources.

This book will present the listener with a brief history of the concept of capitalism, taking him or her on a journey which sets off in the 19th century and which has undergone many changes, resulting in what we call today "the free market".
