An Outline of Philosophy

Bertrand Russell

Sinopsis

The Nobel Prize–winning British scholar offers readers an introduction to philosophy and explores how we acquire knowledge from the world around us. British philosopher Bertrand Russell believed philosophy was concerned with the universe as a whole. In An Outline of Philosophy, he analyzes the differences between the physical world as defined by modern science and the reality we perceive as humans. He looks at methods of gaining knowledge, learning in infants and animals, as well as the role of linguistic ability. Finally, Russell discusses great philosophers from the past and how some of them might approach the question of humanity’s place in the universe.  Originally published in 1927, An Outline of Philosophy was considered quite controversial. However, Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950 “in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought.” “A book of real value. . . . The writing is nearly always of the delightful clarity that we have learned to expect.” —The Times Literary Supplement “A book which we cannot afford to miss if we think at all.” —The Spectator

The Wisdom Of Carl Jung -...

Malcolm J. Austin

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
THE WISDOM OF CARL JUNG is a captivating journey into the heart of Jungian psychology, exploring the profound ideas that shaped our understanding of the human psyche. Through thirty concise yet powerful chapters, this audiobook illuminates Jung’s core concepts—archetypes, the shadow, synchronicity, dreams, symbols, mandalas, and the collective unconscious—with clarity and depth.
Rather than serving as a guide or reference manual, this work is a narrative synthesis of Jung's intellectual legacy. It begins with his early influences and dramatic break with Freud, then builds toward his groundbreaking insights into depth psychology.
Listeners will discover how archetypes like the hero, the mother, and the wise old man influence both personal and cultural life. The audiobook dives into the interplay between the persona and the shadow, unveiling their essential roles in psychological development. Dreams and synchronicities emerge as bridges between the conscious and unconscious, while symbols and mandalas become keys to inner transformation.
Beyond his better-known theories, this exploration ventures into Jung's lesser-known fascinations—alchemy, paranormal research, and Eastern spiritual traditions—revealing them as vital elements of his holistic vision of the soul.
The final chapters reflect on Jung’s enduring influence in contemporary life, from politics and art to religion and popular culture. His concept of the collective unconscious continues to shed light on modern society’s myths and struggles.
Accessible yet intellectually rigorous, this audiobook is an invitation to immerse yourself in the depth of Jungian thought. It avoids simplifications while offering a clear structure, making it indispensable for those seeking to understand Carl Jung’s profound and timeless contributions to psychology and beyond.

The New Middle East - What...

James L. Gelvin

In the second edition of The New Middle East, renowned scholar James L. Gelvin explains how in the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR, the American invasion of Iraq, and the Arab uprisings of 2010-11, a new Middle East has emerged. Syria, Libya, and Yemen have become "crisis states," where warlords vie against governments and each other. The economies of Iran, Turkey, and Lebanon, weakened by corruption, sanctions, and neoliberal economic policies, have imploded. Some states have doubled-down on repression, while others intervene in the internal affairs of their neighbors with impunity. 
 
 
 
This edition explores these hallmarks of the New Middle East, along with the end of American hegemony in the region, the expansion of "conflict zones," the continued centrality of the Saudi-Iranian competition, and the ramifications of the breakdown of the Israel-Palestine peace process. It also highlights the crisis of human security brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, bad governance, stagnant economies, poor healthcare and educational delivery systems, climate change, food and water insecurity, population growth and imbalance, and the unprecedented displacement of populations. Gelvin outlines the social, political, and economic contours of the New Middle East, illuminating the current crisis in the region and exploring how it is likely to evolve in the decades to come.
