    Pericles and Athens , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    Acclaimed as "the first citizen of Athens", Pericles was one of the greatest statesmen ancient Greece ever produced. During the Golden Age of Athens, in the much admired 5th century B.C., Pericles epitomized the influential politician. But he was also a brilliant orator and military leader brought up in the competitive environment of Greek democracy. Raised in the aristocratic household of the Alcmaeonid family, one of the most distinguished of his day, Pericles grew to manhood in the exalted company of thinkers like Herodotus, Sophocles, Socrates, Phidias, Iktinus, Pindar, Aeschylus, Euripides, Thucydides, Democritus, and Anaxagorus. He knew them all personally.Pericles led Athens from 461 to 429 B.C., a pivotal era in history. More than anyone else, it was his steady hand and enlightened outlook that gained Athens the riches of empire and the glory of the Acropolis. Never before have the arts flourished with such incredible perfection as within the lifetime of Pericles. And never before was the death of a leader followed by such swift calamity. His absence during the long, drawn out Peloponnesian War was keenly felt.Listen to this great story and learn why Pericles was truly the most indispensable man in Greece. ungekürzt.

    Oh, Your God!: The Evil Idea That Is Religion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min
    This book is not just for atheists, but for antitheists - for people who celebrated the writing of Christopher Hitchens and miss his voice. Making the provocative assertion that the entire enterprise of organized religion is a thing for which the world and our species would have been better without, Oh, Your God! follows in the footsteps of the material observations of Lucretius, Epicurus, and Democritus, and the more recent anti-theistic arguments of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. Drawing from timeless philosophers, modern debates, historical events, and current social climes, Joshua Kelly illustrates the shameful and debilitating damage religion has caused - and continues to cause - whether to our psyches, our bodies, our societies, or our world. Citing the murders of Nigeria's "witch children", the subversion of sexual emancipation, the tethers of slavery, the attacks of September 11, the pseudo morality of monotheistic mythology, the subjugation of women, and much more, he provides an abundance of damning evidence to back up his claims. Only by acknowledging and grappling with the real and potential dangers of religion, he argues, will we be able to thrive and develop as a species. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Die Griechen: Geschichte einer antiken Hochkultur Leben im antiken Griechenland (eBook, ePUB)
    Die Griechen: Geschichte einer antiken Hochkultur Leben im antiken GriechenlandEinführung in die griechische Geschichte"Für viele westliche Erkenntnisse und Wissenschaften ist das antike Griechenland die Geburtsstätte. Das gilt für die Philosophie, wo uns Sokrates, Plato und Aristoteles begegnen, ebenso wie für die Literatur, z. B. für die unsterblichen Dramen von Sophokles. Es gilt weiterhin für die Mathematik, die wir bei Pythagoras und Euklid finden, und für die Geschichtsschreibung von Herodot. Nicht zuletzt verdanken wir den "alten Griechen" unsere Olympischen Spiele und zu einem erheblichen Teil sogar unsere politische Ordnung, die Demokratie. Das Konzept eines Universums, das aus Atomen besteht, wurde erstmals von Democritus gedacht, und viele unserer wissenschaftlichen Denkansätze stammen von Thales von Milet und seinen Nachfolgern. Frühe technische und physikalische Kenntnisse hatte bereits Archimedes. Unser lateinisches Alphabet kommt ebenfalls aus dem antiken Griechenland, in das es von den Phöniziern im 8. Jahrhundert v. Chr. eingeführt wurde."Was Du in diesem Buch erfährst ...... die Ursprünge Griechenlands... die Kykladische Kultur (ab ca. 3200 v. Chr.)... die Minoische Kultur (ca. 2700 - 1500 v.

    Epicurus of Samos: His Philosophy and Life: All the Principal Source Texts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
    Epicurus of Samos (341-270 BCE) was the founder of the philosophical system to which he gave his name: Epicureanism. It is a label that is often misused and misunderstood today, with ‘a life of pleasure’ as the key aim misinterpreted as a life of indulgence. In fact, the philosophy of Epicurus demonstrated also by his life, was anything but! He established a school in Athens called The Garden, underpinned by his system of ethics.He promoted, by his own example, a simple, ordered, calm and reflective life.A life of true pleasure, he proposed, is only possible when unharnessed desire for wealth, position, luxury and power has been dissolved and instead steady living and friendship are the watchwords. It is against this background that the understanding and acceptance of the vicissitudes of life, and the inevitability of death, are the rules by which to live. This was in contrast to Platonism on the one hand and the Cynics on the other. The second major facet of Epicurus’ philosophy was his physics, in which he adopted and furthered the theory of atomism introduced by Democritus (460-370 BCE): there was no ‘first mover’, no creation myth, no afterlife. Atoms underpinned all existence. Epicurus was a prodigious author, producing many books - yet very few survive. Diogenes Laertius, the third-century Greek biographer, in his sizeable Lives of Eminent Philosophers, devotes Book X, the final book, to Epicurus. In it he gives an account of the life of the philosopher and including three letters from Epicurus to friends, to Herodotus, Pythocles and Menoeceus. The biography concludes with the concise The Principal Doctrines of Epicurus. Then there are various fragments which have come down to us: The Vatican Sayings (a collection found in the Vatican Library, originally compiled in the 14th century and rediscovered in the 19th century); Epicurean Fragments collected in the 19th century from many classical autho ungekürzt.
