Was Massenmedien berichten, weicht oft von den Ansichten und Eindrücken großer Teile der Bevölkerung ab – gerade, wenn es um brisante Geschehnisse geht. So entsteht häufig der Eindruck, die Massenmedien in Deutschland seien von der Regierung oder "dem Staat" manipuliert. Aber die heutige Selbstangleichung der Medien hat mit einer gelenkten Manipulation nichts zu tun. Die Massenmedien in Deutschland sind keine Vollzugsorgane staatlicher Meinungsmache.

Während die drohende Klimakatastrophe und der enorme Ressourcenverbrauch der Menschheit die Lebensgrundlagen unseres Planeten zerstören, machen sich Informatiker und Ingenieure daran, die Entwicklung einer Künstlichen Intelligenz voranzutreiben, die alles das können soll, was Menschen auch können - nur vielfach "optimierter". Ausgehend von völlig falschen Annahmen soll den Maschinen sogar eine menschenähnliche Moral einprogrammiert werden.

Editorial reviews
Auf den Spuren der großen Philosophen
Endlich verständlich: Mit seinem angenehmen Talent, Sachverhalte und Ideen schlüssig und lebensnah auf den Punkt zu bringen, geht Richard David Precht in vier Bänden den großen Fragen der Menschheit auf den Grund. Nach Antike bis Mittelalter (Erkenne die Welt) und Renaissance und Aufklärung (Erkenne dich selbst) widmet sich Prechts dritter Wurf einer Epoche der Aufbruchstimmung und Industrialisierung: dem 19. Jahrhundert. Fundiert, durchdacht und sympathisch pragmatisch erklärt der klarsichtige Gesellschaftssezierer, wo kritisch-analytische Geister (u. a. John Stuart Mill, Ernst Mach oder Charles Sanders Peirce) Sinn in Zeiten der Gottlosigkeit suchen - und umreißt gleichzeitig, wie Arthur Schopenhauer, Sören Kierkegaard oder Friedrich Nietzsche ihre unterschiedlichen Gegenmodelle anlegen.
Publisher's summary
Der lang erwartete dritte Band von Prechts vierteiliger Philosophiegeschichte.
Das 19. Jahrhundert revolutioniert die Philosophie! Während aus der Industrialisierung die bürgerliche Gesellschaft hervorgeht, verlieren die Philosophen den Boden unter den Füßen. Vor allem die Naturwissenschaften fordern die Philosophie heraus und beanspruchen die alleinige Deutungshoheit über Wahrheit und Sinn.
Denker wie Comte, Mill, Spencer, Mach und Peirce versuchen die Philosophie methodisch auf das Niveau der Physik und der Biologie zu bringen. Doch genau dagegen rührt sich Protest. Für ihre Gegenspieler Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard und Nietzsche ist die Philosophie gerade keine Wissenschaft, sondern etwas ganz anderes: eine Haltung zum Leben!

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

I have discovered a group of women who refuse to be exploited, are immune to manipulation, and who never settle in the name of love. These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….
