Roughly 95% of Americans don't appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don't eat those humans. In Eat Meat... or Don't, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor.

We shall then inquire into the way in which thoughts are generated; in other words, how the intellectual storehouse is furnished with suitable materials. Apart from those ideas which seem to be ours by natural heritage, most of our thoughts arise from observation, reading, reflection, social intercourse, and travel. These will be considered separately and collectively. The next point is to know how to direct and control our thoughts.

Author C.C. Roberts explores the lottery paradox. A look at the logic behind the fact that high probabilities are not interchangeable with certainties. In philosophy, is it rational to believe a given ticket will lose? Beliefs are not justified on strictly statistical grounds.

Perché un candidato alla Presidenza degli Stati Uniti può vincere le elezioni sbraitando menzogne come "Costruirò un muro fra gli Stati Uniti e il Messico e sarà il Messico a pagarlo"? Perché abbiamo voglia di comprare una confezione di Nespresso dopo aver visto l'ennesima pubblicità con George Clooney? Perché se ci troviamo in una città sconosciuta camminiamo con lo sguardo incollato allo schermo del telefonino, preoccupati solo di non perdere di vista Google Maps?

This audiobook begins with an account of the birth of John and of Jesus, the last representatives of prophecy in the house of Israel. The claim that Jesus is the son of God is firmly denied, as is the assertion of the pagans of Mecca that the angels are God’s daughters. It then mentions the missions of some earlier prophets, showing that only human beings are raised to reform the world. Consisting of 93 verses, this is one of the early Meccan chapters.

Thinkers have been fascinated by paradox since long before Aristotle grappled with Zeno's. In this volume in The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Margaret Cuonzo explores paradoxes and the strategies used to solve them. She finds that paradoxes are more than mere puzzles but can prompt new ways of thinking. A paradox can be defined as a set of mutually inconsistent claims, each of which seems true. Paradoxes emerge not just in salons and ivory towers but in everyday life.

Gedankenspiele sind seit über zweitausend Jahren die Werkzeuge der Philosophie - sie helfen dabei, Antworten auf die grundlegenden Fragen des Lebens zu finden. Die großen Philosophen - von Sokrates bis Sartre - haben solche geistigen Experimente entwickelt, um sich Themen wie Moral, Freiheit oder Gerechtigkeit zu nähern: Wie würden wir leben, wenn wir unsterblich wären? Wenn ich mein Gehirn mit dem meines Nachbarn tausche - wer wohnt dann wo? Wie kann ein angeketteter Hund glücklich werden?

Curious, confounding and brilliant, Wittgenstein is a philosopher whom people find it easy to get obsessed with. In Investigating Wittgenstein, Giles Fraser explores the secrets of his attraction.

Als einer der Väter der Analytischen Philosophie, hat Bertrand Russell eine Fülle von Essays verfasst, die sehr entschieden seine Meinung präsentieren und trotz seiner akademischen Formulierungen allgemeinverständlich bleiben. In dem von Norbert Hülm gelesenen Werk "Unpopuläre Betrachtungen" findet sich eine Sammlung seiner Aufsätze, die populär wurden. Die enthaltenen Essays stellen Russell deutlich als den klaren Denker und großen Stilist dar, der er war. Russells Analysen zu folgen ist nicht nur sehr unterhaltsam, es regt auch zum Nachdenken an.

AudioLearn's Philosophy Classics is proud to present Plato's dialog The Protagoras.

The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets - like Slave and Master morality, the Superman - can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects.

This short audio on logic argues that logic and science can go hand in hand, and that, by taking observations of perceptions and sensations, and applying logical analysis to them, you have the power to build conceptual models and frameworks that you can use in order to predict what you should do in the future and to reason how to solve the problems in your life.

Are you sick and tired of not being taken seriously? Read on to discover the secret of convincing others through logical arguments. The discussion is getting heated, everybody has an opinion. You try to chime in and for a moment, your theory has everybody’s attention. Just like lightning, however, someone else hijacks the conversation and everybody forgets what you’ve just said.

"Anything can be literature, and anything which is regarded as unalterably and unquestionably literature - Shakespeare, for example - can cease to be literature". These are the words of Terry Eagleton, the working-class Irish Marxist critic of English literature who believes that all literary theory is political. Not only is his observation quite banal, but it does not qualify as literary criticism. It is journalistic writing, and its validity depends merely upon our definition of literature. Perhaps his definition is so generic as to encompass any random piece of published writing.

Die adjektivische Passiversatzform 'unverständlich' ist transformierbar in den Ausdruck 'kann nicht verstanden werden'. Das Modalverb 'können' hat typischerweise drei Funktionen: Kompetenz, Möglichkeit, Erlaubnis. An jeder schriftlichen Kommunikation sind (sehr einfach ausgedrückt) mindestens drei Momente beteiligt: ein Produzent, Zeichen, ein Rezipient. Wenn ein Zeichen, ein Wort, ein Satz, ein Text als 'unverständlich' bewertet wird, ist fragbar: Warum? "Die Fragmente von Friedrich Schlegel sind unverständlich." Mögliche Gründe: (1) Der Autor hat nicht die Kompetenz, sich verständlich mitzuteilen.
