Greek Science

D.J. and her dad moved far from the small town and only home she ever knew. Now she's starting middle school in the city with kids she’s never met. She tries to make friends, but they all appear to be slaves to screen time. D.J. just likes to garden, nurturing plants, watching them grow and thrive. It seems she’ll never find a way to fit in, but then she awakens in a gorgeous garden where she meets Persephone, Goddess of Spring. She must be dreaming; her new friend can’t possibly be real - and what could she know about getting along with gamers?

Als die Philosophie der Stoa ihren Siegeszug von Athen nach Rom antrat, wurde sie dort schnell zu einer Art Populärphilosophie. Im Mittelpunkt standen nun moralische Fragen sowie die Lebensbewältigung an sich. In dieser wunderbaren Hörbuch Box versammeln sich drei absolute Schwergewichte, die inspirierende Antworten auf die Frage liefern, wie ich mein Leben führen soll. Mit dabei ist Seneca: Vom Zorn (Track 1 - 99), Vom glücklichen Leben (Track 100 - 130), Von der Gemütsruhe (Track 131 - 163), Von der Kürze des Lebens (Track 164 - 190).

Wie findet man das wahre Glück? Wie lässt sich Erfolg wirklich bemessen? Und wie geht man mit den Herausforderungen des Alltags wie Wut, Trauer und der Frage nach dem Sinn des Ganzen um? Was große Geister wie George Washington, Friedrich der Große, Weltklassesportler oder Top-Performer längst für sich entdeckt haben, liegt mit "Der tägliche Stoiker" erstmals gesammelt vor.

A leading thinker of the Stoic school of philosophy, Epictetus (A.D. 55-135) was a renowned teacher whose students transcribed and compiled his teachings; this collection presents the work of Arrian, a Greek philosopher and historian who was a disciple of Epictetus. In these two brief but highly influential works, Epictetus demonstrates that philosophy is more than a theoretical discipline; it is a way of life based on logic, reason, and self-reflection.

In the midst of a fierce sailing competition, Aria and Liam unexpectedly find themselves drawn into a mysterious crystal cave. Suddenly, they're faced with a seemingly impossible task: lifting a curse that has befallen the empress of Atlantis. As they strive to uncover the truth behind the curse and outsmart the dark force threatening Atlantis, Aria and Liam must navigate treacherous waters, dodge bizarre scientific experiments, and encounter long-extinct creatures with a knack for mischief.

Eighteen-year-old Tally is absolutely sure of everything: her genius, the love of her adoptive family, the loyalty of her best friend, Shane, and her future career as a Nobel prize-winning astronomer. There's no room in her tidy world for heartbreak or uncertainty - or the charismatic, troubled mother who abandoned her soon after she was born.

In the final installment of The Tale of Lunarmorte, Caia is caught between the most powerful beings in her world, and they are all desperate to use her for their own means.

It’s bad enough feeling different among the human crowd, but feeling different among wolves? No one said returning to her pack would be easy, especially after ten years without them, but 17-year-old Caia Ribeiro is unprepared for the realities of the transition. Raised in a world where kids aren’t scared by bedtime tales of the bogeyman but by the real life threat of enemy supernaturals who might come creeping into their community to kill them in their sleep, Caia is used to the darkness.

The seal has been broken and the Soul Keeper Prophecy set in motion. Marcus and Nicolas are battling for the heart of one woman, Pandora's only daughter. However, not everyone is playing by the rules. With interference from both sides of the lines and too many deities with hidden agendas, the trio must take matters into their own hands and look for another ending, one that removes control from fate.

Ever since Charlotte Mielswetzski and her cousin, Zee, saved the world, life has been rather ordinary. Ordinary, that is, if you call being ultramegagrounded (in Charlotte's case) or treated as if you might fall to pieces (in Zee's case) ordinary. Either way, heroes deserve better. Of course, no one knows Charlotte and Zee are heroes. It's not like they can simply announce that Greek myths are real or proclaim they have returned from the Underworld, where they rescued all of mankind from Philonecron, a deranged demigod with delusions of grandeur.

A year after the events that killed her sister and turned her into a siren, Vanessa is desperately trying to put her family back together and reclaim a “normal” life. But no matter how many times she swims, or how much salt water she drinks, she can feel herself getting weaker and weaker. She has no idea how to survive as a siren and she doesn’t want to know the truth about her newly discovered identity. It’s just too horrifying.

After their near-fatal battle with Poseidon, Charlotte and Zee would love nothing more than to relax and forget all over again that the Greek gods are real. But with the world in peril and no one else to save it, that just isn’t an option. Charlotte and Zee meet the Prometheans, an ancient brotherhood trying to protect mankind from the whims of the gods, who think they might have finally found a weapon capable of bringing Zeus to his knees. But using this weapon will come at a great cost, one Charlotte and Zee are not willing to pay.

Seneca (1 – 65 n. Chr.) war mehr als nur ein Philosoph: er war Staatsmann und Erzieher des despotischen Kaisers Nero. Wenn Seneca, Hauptvertreter der Denkrichtung der Stoa, praktische Lebenstipps erteilt, weiß er genau, wovon er spricht. Seneca weiß: ein gutes, glückliches und sinnvolles Leben ist möglich. Hier enthalten: Vom glücklichen Leben, Von der Kürze des Lebens, Von der Gemütsruhe, Vom Zorn.

Wie kann ich ein guter Mensch werden und mein Leben im Streben nach der "Eudaimonia", der Glückseligkeit, führen? In seiner weltberühmten ethischen Schrift entwirft der Universalgelehrte Aristoteles eine gesamte Philosophie für eine gelungene Lebensführung.

In a conversation with Robert John Russell, founder and director of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences, Kuhn asks how Russell reconciles his roles as a physicist and an ordained minister. As you listen to a fascinating array of perspectives, you’ll understand Kuhn’s claim that “the nexus of science and theology is the place where we explore human reality.”

Розмисли наодинці з собою — це особисті записи римського імператора Марка Аврелія Антоніна, зроблені ним в 70-і рр. нової ери. Імператор вів щоденник, де розмірковував щодо понять громадянськості, обов'язку, честі, совісті, вірності і справедливості. На сторінках цього надзвичайного документа ми спостерігаємо напружену роботу особистості з опанування філософії стоїків та з практичного розвитку стоїчної традиції. Таким чином, щоденник Марка Аврелія — один з перших в історії людства приклад літератури про самовдосконалення.

В книгу вошли речи Цицерона, которые являются вершиной древнеримской художественной прозы. Цицерон опубликовал более сотни речей, политических и судебных, из которых полностью или в значительных фрагментах сохранились 58. Древнеримский оратор и философ Марк Туллий Цицерон был выходцем из простой семьи, но смог стать знаменитым политическим деятелем, благодаря своему ораторскому таланту. Он играл ключевую роль в политической жизни Рима и всегда был самым рьяным сторонником Республики, что, в конечном счете, привело его к гибели.

La guerra però non è ancora finita, e per il dio del sole, intrappolato nella forma mortale del patetico adolescente Lester Papadopoulos, è tempo di affrontare l'ultima sfida.
