    100 Quotes by Immanuel Kant: Great Philosophers and Their Inspiring Thoughts, Hörbuch, Digital, 29min
    Immanuel Kant is one of the most important figures of German philosophy. He is said to have affected a Copernican revolution in philosophy, akin to Copernicus' reversal of the age-old belief that the sun revolved around the earth, through his ground-breaking work on the structure of experience. He argued that human experience couldn't be not affected by the features of our minds; the consequence is that we can only experience a phenomenal world, as conveyed by our senses, and never the reality itself, which nobody has ever seen. He published important treatises on ethics, religion, law, aesthetics, and history. From his huge body of work, we have selected 100 of the most interesting quotes, taken from the Critique of Practical Reason, the Metaphysics of Morals, the Critique of Judgment, and many others. Discover the world of one of the most influent philosophers, and question with him the illusions of experience, morals, and art. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Waite.

    Galileo Galilei: A Life from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min
    Galileo Galilei began his career as a mathematician. Yet as fate would have it, he became far more than a numbers whiz. Here was a true Renaissance man; one who was greatly educated and a genuine lover of the arts. He was a fan of poets and a fine lute player. When in 1609 Galileo created his first telescope and turned his attention to the skies, everything changed. His discoveries, as they came, could not be denied. Because of his years of study in the arts and humanities, Galileo was well prepared to bring his ideas into the light of day.  Inside you will hear about.... Living in the Italian Renaissance Student becomes master Opposition to the Church Controversial theories The trial of Galileo Galilei The end of all things And much more! Discoveries often don't come easy and introducing them to a doubting world is even more challenging. It takes a certain kind of person to do that and Galileo was just the man for the job. It was his brilliance that supported the Copernican system of how the solar system was laid out. It was his original thinking which kept him fearless in the face of the greatest adversary there was - the Church. Come along to discover what made Galileo so great. And why his achievements can influence your life, too. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bridger Conklin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/108412/bk_acx0_108412_sample.mp3.

    200 Quotes of Idealist Philosophers, Hörbuch, Digital, 64min
    Idealism is the part of philosophy that focuses on the mind and its creations, which implies the problematic notion that everything we ever experience can only be shaped by our senses and the way our mind functions. It has its roots in German philosophy, of which Immanuel Kant is one of the most important figures. He is said to have affected a Copernican revolution in philosophy, akin to Copernicus' reversal of the age-old belief that the sun revolved around the earth, through his groundbreaking work on the structure of experience. He argued that human experience could not not be affected by the features of our minds; the consequence is that we can only experience a phenomenal world, as conveyed by our senses, and never the reality itself, which nobody has ever seen. The other groundbreaking German thinker, Schopenhauer, shows what happen when great philosophy becomes somber, pessimistic, even brutal, while still resonating with a sarcastic laugh. He was among the first to contend that the universe is essentially not a rational place; in his most famous work, "The World as Will and Representation", he argues that the individuals of a species do not have as much free will as is ordinarily thought. This audiobook is a careful compilation of essential quotes summarizing the fundamental ideas of these great philosophers, to get you acquainted with the subtleties of their work in a practical and efficient way.

    Six Great Scientists , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
    All of the geniuses in Six Great Scientists had one thing in common: the determination to do scientific research whatever the obstacles. They all had the imagination to conceive great ideas and the force of will not to be defeated. Nicolaus Copernicus proved that the earth was not the center of the universe and founded the modern scientific outlook. Galileo Galilei proved by his use of the telescope that the Copernican view was correct and fought for this truth in the face of severe persecution. Isaac Newton not only developed a comprehensive account of the entire physical universe but also struggled for the preservation of intellectual freedom by taking part in the rebellion against James II. Charles Darwin, in the face of violent opposition, established a belief in evolution, showing that all living organisms are related members of one connected system. Marie Curie discovered radium, which disclosed the secrets of the atom, revealed its structure and history, and unlocked the promise of atomic energy. Finally, Albert Einstein asserted the theory of relativity and the equivalence of mass and energy, which was essential for the controlled release of atomic power. Just as important, he also spoke out against Nazi Germany without the shadow of a compromise and never ceased to warn mankind of the danger inherent in the misuse of science. The stories of these scientists will renew our confidence in the human spirit. They remind us of the advancements that can result when men and women have the ability and courage to achieve great things. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Cullen.

    The Copernicus Complex: Our Cosmic Significance in a Universe of Planets and Probabilities , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
    A Publishers Weekly Top-10 Science Book of Fall 2014. In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus dared to go against the establishment by proposing that Earth rotates around the Sun. Having demoted Earth from its unique position in the cosmos to one of mediocrity, Copernicus set in motion a revolution in scientific thought. This perspective has influenced our thinking for centuries. However, recent evidence challenges the Copernican Principle, hinting that we do in fact live in a special place, at a special time, as the product of a chain of unlikely events. But can we be significant if the Sun is still just one of a billion trillion stars in the observable universe? And what if our universe is just one of a multitude of others - a single slice of an infinity of parallel realities? In The Copernicus Complex, the renowned astrophysicist Caleb Scharf takes us on a scientific adventure, from tiny microbes within the Earth to distant exoplanets, probability theory, and beyond, arguing that there is a solution to this contradiction, a third way of viewing our place in the cosmos, if we weigh the evidence properly. As Scharf explains, we do occupy an unusual time in a 14-billion-year-old universe, in a somewhat unusual type of solar system surrounded by an ocean of unimaginable planetary diversity: hot Jupiters with orbits of less than a day, planet-size rocks spinning around dead stars, and a wealth of alien super-Earths. Yet life here is built from the most common chemistry in the universe, and we are a snapshot taken from billions of years of biological evolution. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 991min
    Magnum opus of evolutionary cyberneticist and digital philosopher Alex M. Vikoulov on the ultimate nature of reality, consciousness, the physics of time, philosophy of mind, transhumanism, economic theory, the technological singularity, the extended Gaia theory, the impending phase transition of humanity, the simulation hypothesis, transcendental metaphysics, and God.In one volume, the author covers it all: from quantum physics to your experiential reality, from the big bang to the omega point, from the "flow state" to psychedelics, from Lucy to the looming AI singularity, from natural algorithms to the operating system of your mind, from geoengineering to nanotechnology, from anti-aging to immortality technologies, from oligopoly capitalism to Star Trek-onomics, from The Matrix to universal mind, from Homo sapiens to Holo syntellectus.This is an essential listen in digital physics, foundations of quantum physics, science of consciousness, philosophy of mind, physics of time, phenomenology, economic theory, cybernetics and AI research, collective evolution, and self-development in the information age.Despite a dozen of neologisms, readily explained by given definitions and contextually, the book is an exceptionally easy listen for an intellectual listener. Alongside with the syntellect hypothesis, as the author's main contribution to the scientific and philosophical dialogue, you'll encounter the conscious instant hypothesis and the temporal singularity, experiential realism and the mental universe hypothesis in regards to our phenomenological experience; the noocentric model challenging the centuries-old Copernican heliocentric model; the chrysalis conjecture as his solution to the Fermi paradox; D-theory of time, or digital presentism, as his fresh perspective on temporal ontology and the physics of time; the mind-bending digital pantheism argument, exponential evolution, and the omega point cosmo-teleology./ ungekürzt.
