Story
Stoicism, a school of Hellenistic thought founded in Athens in the third century BC, was one of the most sublime philosophies in the history of Western civilization. It is a way of living that focuses on reality instead of fantasy or idealism. According to its teachings, the path to peace and happiness is found in accepting the moment as it presents itself, by not allowing oneself to be ruled by the desire for pleasure or by the fear of pain.

Story
Being and Time was published in 1927 during the Weimar period in Germany, a time of political, social and economic turmoil. Heidegger himself did not escape the pressures and his nationalism, and undeniable anti-Semitism in the following decades cast a shadow over the man, but not the work. Being and Time is not coloured by expressions of his later views (unlike other writings) and remains an outstanding document.

Story
The Decline of the West - Volume 1 published in 1917, Volume 2 in 1922 - has exercised and challenged opinion ever since. It was a huge undertaking by Oswald Spengler (1880-1936), formerly an unpublished historian and philosopher who set out to radically reconsider history - the rise and fall of world civilisations and their cultures. His primary view was to reject the established Eurocentric paradigm (ancient/classical, Medieval - and, following the Renaissance - modern) and to take a totally new perspective.

A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were - and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book.

A botched production
Not sure what the deal is with this one. Points for trying I guess?
The entire production seems out of its depth, The earlier sections sound like the narrator is dealing with too much caffeine or maybe just nerves. The rhythms of the wordings are way off and makes Schopenhauer's already dense prose borderline unintelligible. Towards the later sections the narrator seems to come into his own. At that point, I would have gone back and re-recorded the earlier sections to ensure consistency across the whole, or perhaps additional rehearsing beforehand would have helped.
Furthermore, numerous flubs weren't edited out, You can hear the narrator using time-stamping techniques on numerous occasions when he makes a mistake, but apparently no one went back to cut them out.
Additionally, the French and German sections of the texts have pretty shoddy pronunciation. Why not just translate everything to English, since the main text has already been translated from German?
It's a shame, since Waters possesses an immensely listenable timbre and cadence once he finds his rhythm, this could have been a great collection, it just needed more care and attention to detail.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
