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.

What God Would Have Known offers a thorough and incisive treatment of its subject that remains respectful and fair-minded throughout.

Martin Luther King Jr. may be America's most revered political figure, commemorated in statues, celebrations, and street names around the world. But despite his stature, the significance of King's writings and political thought remains underappreciated.

Zehn Jahre nach Sokrates' Tod schrieb Platon dessen Verteidigungsrede nieder und etablierte damit einen Denker, wie ihn die Welt noch nicht kannte. Einen Dialektiker, der sich unwissend und einfältig stellte, um Wissen und Moral seiner Mitmenschen zu prüfen, und der sich in seiner Unbedingtheit weder gängigen Meinungen noch dem Druck der Masse beugte, mehr noch: der auch den eigenen Neigungen widerstand und sich ganz und gar der Wahrheit verpflichtete...
