Story
Heroes, gods, and mortals. The Greek myths are the founding narratives of Western civilization: to understand them is to know the origins of philosophy, literature, art, science, law, and more. Indeed, as Luc Ferry shows in this masterful book, they remain a great store of wisdom, as relevant to our lives today as ever before.

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.

Story
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."

Story
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.

Philosophe majeur de l'idéalisme allemand, Hegel se propose de dépasser la contradiction, emblématique de son époque, entre la philosophie des Lumières, incarnée par Kant, et le Romantisme contre-révolutionnaire. 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.

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.

Story
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.

Story
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.

La civilisation occidentale arrive au terme du XXe siècle à une remise en cause de toutes les valeurs qui au cours des siècles ont fondé nos sociétés et guidé nos pas vers la vie bonne ; qu'il s'agisse de la religion, de la patrie ou de la politique, le désenchantement du monde peut laisser la place au désarroi. Luc Ferry réplique par un optimisme lucide basé sur les nouvelles réalités de notre société. La révolution de l'amour, cet engagement pris par chacun pour sa famille et ses proches place l'humain au cœur de nos vies.

"Le point de départ de ce livre audio est une conférence dans laquelle j'ai présenté à un large public les points essentiels de mon livre Apprendre à vivre. On y trouvera une réflexion sur ce qu'est la philosophie, sur ce qu'elle peut nous apporter en termes de sagesse pratique, sur les temps forts qui ont marqué son histoire. J'y développe l'idée selon laquelle les grandes philosophies sont, pour l'essentiel, des doctrines du salut sans Dieu, des tentatives de nous sauver des peurs qui nous empêchent de parvenir à une vie bonne."

Story
La langue française foisonne d'expressions et de mots issus de la mythologie classique dont nous usons parfois sans en connaître l'étymologie, le vrai sens, ou le récit originel d'où ils proviennent. Qui sait que le mot Europe est issu des mots grecs eurus et ops et signifie "le regard du grand horizon" ? Luc Ferry, avec légèreté et talent nous éclaire, nous surprend, nous amuse et nous instruit sur les origines des expressions telles que "toucher le Pactole" ou de références telles que le Béotien.

Non, ce n'était pas mieux avant ! Luc Ferry s'associe à Nicolas Bouzou, essayiste et économiste, pour dresser un portrait de notre société contemporaine et mesurer le chemin parcouru au cours des deux derniers siècles. L'innovation est une destruction créatrice qui bouleverse les ordres établis, et devient un facteur de peur et d'incertitude, pourtant les bénéfices réels et potentiels doivent être reconnus.

Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh.

Story
The Bobiverse is a different place in the aftermath of the Starfleet War, and the days of the Bobs gathering in one big happy moot are far behind. There’s anti-Bob sentiment on multiple planets, the Skippies playing with an AI time bomb, and multiple Bobs just wanting to get away from it all. But it all pales compared to what Icarus and Daedalus discover on their 26,000-year journey to the center of the galaxy.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.
