Story1
KT Guttenberg nimmt sich die Zeit. Seine Texte auf LinkedIn, jeweils von Hunderttausenden gelesen, entspringen Alltagssituationen und Beobachtungen vom Wegesrand, er entdeckt Details unseres Lebens, die wir gern mal übersehen; er spürt Erlebnissen und Gedanken nach, die ihn inspirieren oder beunruhigen – auch, aber nicht nur, in der Politik. Er verbindet das Kleine mit dem Großen, das Absurde mit der Analyse und spiegelt das widersprüchliche Lebensgefühl unserer Zeit in einem lakonischen, immer wieder auch selbstironischen Stil.

Back in August 2006 I visited Goa, India. A trip that affected my outlook on life, views on my country, and my attitude towards others of all backgrounds. In 2015, I finally decided to put down in writing all the experiences encountered on my journey, not least my admiration for India, it's people, and it's culture.

In Trust in a Polarized Age, political philosopher Kevin Vallier offers a powerful counter-narrative to the prevailing sense of hopelessness that dogs the American political landscape. In an unapologetic defense of liberalism that synthesizes political philosophy and empirical trust research, Vallier restores faith in our power to reduce polarization and rebuild social and political trust.

Story0
In the winelands of 16th-century Germany, Obsopoeus witnessed the birth of a poisonous new culture of bingeing, hazing, peer pressure, and competitive drinking. Alarmed, and inspired by the Roman poet Ovid's Art of Love, he wrote The Art of Drinking (1536), a how-to manual for drinking with pleasure and discrimination. In How to Drink, Michael Fontaine offers the first proper English translation of Obsopoeus' text, rendering his poetry into spirited, contemporary prose and uncorking a forgotten classic that will appeal to drinkers of all kinds and (legal) ages.

Living together amicably, creatively, in complete relationship with one another – if that is what is essential then we need not only a different kind of mind but also a different quality of affection, love. What is the function of a religious mind? Our struggle in life is dualistic: good and bad, right and wrong, holy and unholy, the ideal and the fact. There is only the fact, not the ideal. Is it possible to look at life as though you are looking for the first time? What is the content of the unconscious?

In essayistischen Porträts geht er auf eine Reise durch 2400 Jahre abendländische Philosophiegeschichte und zeigt anhand der Leben und Werke von Sokrates, Epikur, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer und Nietzsche wie ein etwas anderer - nämlich philosophischer - Blick auf die Welt das Leben erträglicher machen kann.

As a boy, severely disabled after contracting polio as a baby in working class Liverpool, Bert Massie found himself wondering why disabled people were expected to adapt to the world around them, and not the other way round. In his teens, he began to campaign for rights for disabled people, and having battled his way through prejudice and the education system to become a Bachelor of Arts and a qualified social worker, he became a prominent figure in the fight for fair treatment for disabled people leading to the ground breaking Disability Discrimination Act.

N’en déplaise aux adeptes du développement personnel, « être l’auteur de sa vie » n’est pas chose aisée car s’affranchir des déterminismes qui font notre histoire est un long - mais pas impossible ! - chemin vers la liberté. " Être l’auteur de sa vie " est un leitmotiv des ouvrages de développement personnel. La maxime de Pindare, " deviens qui tu es ", se décline partout : titres d’essais, slogans publicitaires, mantras sur les réseaux sociaux.

Can jokes win a hostile room, a hopeless argument, or even an election? You bet they can, according to Cicero, and he knew what he was talking about. One of Rome's greatest politicians, speakers, and lawyers, Cicero was also reputedly one of antiquity's funniest people. After he was elected commander-in-chief and head of state, his enemies even started calling him "the stand-up Consul". How to Tell a Joke provides a lively new translation of Cicero's essential writing on humor alongside that of the later Roman orator and educator Quintilian.

In What Philosophy Can Do, Gary Gutting takes a philosopher's scalpel to modern life's biggest questions and the most powerful forces in our society - politics, science, religion, education, and capitalism - to show how we can improve our discussions of contentious contemporary issues.

Im Leben ist irgendwann vieles entschieden: wen wir lieben, wo wir arbeiten, wie wir wohnen. Manche sind froh, angekommen zu sein – andere fürchten, festzustecken in einem Leben voller Routinen, und fragen sich, ob es das schon war. Wie finden wir neue Lebensziele, wenn vieles erreicht ist? Wie gehen wir damit um, dass sich die Zeithorizonte langsam verengen und einige Züge mittlerweile abgefahren sind? Philosophisch fundiert und voller Bezüge aus dem Alltag denkt Barbara Bleisch nach über Lebenserfahrung, Leichtigkeit und Gelassenheit.
