    On the Future of Our Educational...

    In 1869, at the age of twenty-five, the precociously brilliant Friedrich Nietzsche was appointed to a professorship of classical philology at the University of Basel. He seemed marked for a successful and conventional academic career. Then the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner transformed his sense of purpose. The genius of such thinkers and makers—like the genius of the ancient Greeks—was the only touchstone for true understanding. How then was education to answer to such genius? Something more than sturdy scholarship was called for. A new way of teaching and questioning, a new philosophy...What that new way might be was the question Nietzsche broached in five vivid, popular public lectures in Basel in 1872. Composed in emulation (and to some degree as a satire) of a Platonic dialogue, Anti-Education presents a provocative and timely reckoning with what remains one of the great problems of modern societies.

    Listeners will be able to draw their own conclusions about whether Gaza has been a victim of decades of political shortcomings or whether its innocence has been distorted by propaganda and malicious political manipulations. In this detailed analysis, Norman G. Finkelstein uncovers the hardships endured by Palestinians, reveals the insincerity of narratives conceived against them, exposes the betrayal of noteworthy individuals and organizations in the face of Gaza's suffering, and discusses the stance of international law regarding their predicament and recourse to armed resistance. 
    The audio production of Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom has been created with the intention of making the content more accessible to listeners. While the audiobook presents a detailed and fact-filled analysis, it should be noted that it cannot fully replace the scholarly value present in the written text due to the absence of the extensive footnotes. Scholars who wish to offer critical scrutiny are strongly encouraged to compare the audio content with the original text and its accompanying footnotes by purchasing the print or Kindle version.

    A warm-hearted guide to Buddhist practice for those ready to contend with the reality that enlightenment—the realization of non-self—can't be achieved by the self. 
     
     
     
    A well-known spiritual saying goes, "Enlightenment is an accident. But we can make ourselves more accident-prone." As an authentic American Zen takes shape, enlightenment continues to be misunderstood as a project to be completed, a goal to be achieved, or a prize to be awarded. Tim Burkett's new book unhooks enlightenment from the hot air balloon of ego and brings it back down to earth. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on stories of his first teacher, the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki (author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind), and Burkett's decades of practice and teaching, he reveals how to live in the world with a deep joy that comes from embracing the work and play of this very moment. With the wisdom and humor of a seasoned practitioner familiar with all manner of eccentric fixations and silly dead-ends, he offers views and practices we can use to support the paradoxical process of letting enlightenment happen on its own.
