Luc Ferry, en spécialiste et traducteur de Kant, nous offre une présentation extraordinairement claire et vivante des trois œuvres majeures du philosophe allemand - ses trois "critiques", sommets de la pensée mondiale. Avec un rare sens pédagogique, il parvient à en rendre évidentes les idées, l'originalité, mais aussi l'étonnante actualité.

Pour relever ce défi, il va construire l'un des systèmes les plus grandioses de l'histoire de la philosophie. Au fondement de cette œuvre immense, les réponses nouvelles qu'apporte l'auteur à deux questions léguées par la tradition.

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.

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.

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.

In this landmark work, one of the world's most renowned Egyptologists tells the epic story of this great civilization, from its birth as the first nation-state to its final absorption into the Roman Empire - 3,000 years of wild drama, bold spectacle, and unforgettable characters. Award-winning scholar Toby Wilkinson captures not only the lavish pomp and artistic grandeur of this land of pyramids and pharaohs but for the first time reveals the constant propaganda and repression that were its foundations.

Publisher's summary
Leibniz et Spinoza, bien que très infidèles, sont deux grands cartésiens. Les premiers, ils transforment la philosophie en système à partir d'un seul principe, la théodicée, explication de l'existence du mal malgré la toute-puissance et la bonté de Dieu.

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. In 1995, Carol was spying on Oklahoma’s neo-Nazis for the government just when Timothy McVeigh blew up a federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.

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.

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 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.
