Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
René Descartes, philosophe français par excellence, ouvre l'ère de la modernité. Sa volonté est de s'extraire des préjugés et des certitudes non prouvées, de passer l'intégralité du monde au crible du doute pour pouvoir penser par soi-même. Fondateur de la philosophie du sujet, il base tout l'édifice de la science et de la connaissance sur la réflexion humaine, le fameux cogito.

"Penseur controversé, beaucoup critiqué mais finalement méconnu, Nietzsche nous est ici dévoilé dans toute sa profondeur et sa finesse. La critique du nihilisme, la mort de Dieu, l'Amor fati, le grand style : harmonie entre les forces, la doctrine de l'éternel retour, autant de notions complexes qui deviennent accessibles grâce au talent de Luc Ferry qui fait de la philosophie un espace démocratique de partage et de réflexion."

Story5 out of 5 stars 5
Freud, figure majeure de ces penseurs que Paul Ricœur nomme "les philosophes du soupçon" est, on le sait, le père d'une approche radicalement nouvelle de l'expérience humaine : la psychanalyse. Le débat contemporain, polarisé sur la question de la validité scientifique des thèses freudiennes, oublie trop souvent d'en interroger le sens profond et d'en mesurer l'influence toujours vivante.

Story5 out of 5 stars 7
Dans ce livre audio, Luc Ferry raconte comment les plus grands penseurs de l'antiquité, Platon, Aristote ou encore les stoïciens, ont repris l'héritage de la mythologie grecque pour parvenir à proposer une magnifique doctrine de la sagesse, une spiritualité laïque qui traversera les siècles et qui nous parle encore aujourd'hui. Pour l'essentiel, il s'agit de montrer que la vie bonne réside dans la mise en harmonie de soi avec l'harmonie du monde.

Premier grand philosophe contemporain, Schopenhauer ouvre l'ère du soupçon, l'ère de l'inconscient de Marx, de Freud et de Nietzsche. Bien que sa déconstruction des idées traditionnelles le conduise au constat de l'absurdité de la vie, son pessimisme n'est que provisoire. Par l'art, la morale, la sagesse, Schopenhauer nous arrache à nos peurs et entame la construction d'une doctrine du salut.

Est-il possible d'envisager l'histoire de la philosophie en passant directement de Plotin à Descartes ? La réponse est non. Quand même on ne serait pas croyant, il est impossible de faire l'impasse sur la pensée chrétienne, ne serait-ce que pour comprendre le monde où nous vivons.

Luc Ferry offre, dans cet audio, une synthèse extraordinairement claire et profonde des idées développées par Marx, qui remet en question bien des idées reçues sur cet auteur. Au-delà des conceptions politiques ou idéologiques héritées de Karl Marx, l'exposé met en valeur la vision économique et sociale du penseur.

Editorial reviews
Cette série, lue et racontée par Luc Ferry, essayiste, philosophe français et auteur de nombreux ouvrages dont "Le Nouvel ordre écologique" (Prix Médicis essais et Jean-Jacques Rousseau en 1992), offre une présentation extraordinairement claire et vivante de Kant, Nietzsche, Marx, de la mythologie, du christianisme et bien plus. À travers 9 titres dédiés à la philosophie, l'auteur passionnant à écouter et très pédagogue, propose pour la première fois des cours dans une langue simple, permettant en 3 ou 4 heures d'accéder à une approche des idées de grand philosophes et d’obtenir les clés essentielles pour pouvoir ensuite aborder leurs œuvres. De l'art à la morale, la sagesse, la pensée freudienne, et encore la réflexion humaine, vous adorerez écouter les cours particuliers de Luc Ferry.
Publisher's summary
Après une introduction générale à la philosophie kantienne, Luc Ferry nous fait découvrir, dans ce qu'elles ont de plus décisif, la Critique de la raison pratique, la Critique de la faculté de juger et enfin la Critique de la raison pure, œuvres monumentales de ce penseur phare de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, contemporain de la Révolution française.
Critic reviews
"Aux mirages ou aux excès de la philo facile, Luc Ferry propose ici la pratique d'une discipline de longue durée. L'exercice est d'abord austère, mais il n'est ni insurmontable ni dépourvu de satisfaction. Pour comprendre ce que signifie la pensée philosophique, une vague intuition ne suffit pas. Il faut entrer, patiemment, au moins une fois, dans le dédale d'une grande œuvre ."
Roger-Pol Droit, Le Point
"L'œuvre de Kant a véritablement fondé notre pensée moderne. C'est avec plaisir qu'à l'occasion de ce cours, j'ai retrouvé toute la pédagogie et la profondeur de l'analyse de Luc Ferry."
Michel Barnier, Ministre du gouvernement

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.

Story5 out of 5 stars 3,549
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.

Thirty years ago, award-winning journalist Jon Ronson stumbled on the mystery of Carol Howe—a charismatic, wealthy former debutante turned white supremacist spokeswoman turned undercover informant.

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 826
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.
