Moral Science

An ancient threat returns to conquer humanity. They ruled the planet once and they will do it again. Humans can't fight this war - not without help. For years, Dr. Ethan Fawkes has been communicating with a mysterious scientist using an encoded signal, and together, they designed the first spaceship meant for war. But when the government orders Ethan to dismantle it, his collaborator reveals a terrible secret. An army of powerful aliens is about to invade Earth, and humans must rush to prepare a defense or risk losing their freedom forever.

It has sadly become evident that over the past 70 years, Americans have become increasingly ignorant of our nation's founding principles. Civic education and American history have either not been taught, or have been deliberately mistaught throughout our nation's public—and in numerous cases, private education system.

Growing up in a vegetarian family, Tara Austen Weaver never thought she’d stray. But as an adult, she found herself in poor health and, after trying cures of every kind, a doctor finally ordered her to eat meat. Warily, she ventured into the butcher shop, and as the man behind the counter wrapped up her first-ever chicken, she found herself intrigued. Eventually, he dared her to cook her way through his meat counter.

Konservative bevorzugen Hunde, Progressive eher Katzen. Und Wutbürger sind eigentlich Ekelbürger. Hier werden keine Klischees bedient - sondern der Kern unserer Moral freigelegt. In diesem Hörbuch wirft der Philosoph und Bestsellerautor Philipp Hübl unter anderem die folgenden Fragen auf: Was wäre ich ohne meinen Charakter? Darf man zwischen Menschenleben abwägen? Wie entsteht Fremdenfeindlichkeit? Hübl zeigt, wie Emotionen unsere moralischen Urteile bestimmen. Wie unsere Werte und unsere politische Haltung in Gefühlsdispositionen verankert sind.

A cultural and intellectual history of sincerity, from its emergence during the Protestant Reformation to its present incarnations and adversaries. People have long been duped by "straight-talking" politicians, confessional talk-show hosts, and falsely earnest advertisers. As sincerity has become suspect, the upright and honest have taken refuge in irony.

What is the relationship between charity and knowledge in the theology of Thomas Aquinas? Did Aquinas in his mature thought portray charity's act as antecedent to and independent of practical reasoning? Did he view charity's motion as rendering us morally good before God, apart from whether or not we do what is right in our actions? A dominant stream in contemporary Catholic ethics holds for precisely such a concept of charity, and many recent commentators on Aquinas maintain that this is his position as well.

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.

All leaders face defining moments, crises that reveal their true character. Here, Sasha and his father, David, expand on Sasha's defining moment, recounted on The Moth podcast as "An Impossible Choice." Working in the violence-torn Congo, he was charged with evacuating a specific group of refugees. Then he and his colleague discovered a group of widows and orphans not on the rescue list. Leaving them behind would mean their deaths. Attempting to take them would jeopardize the entire mission.

Humanity is racing to create machine intelligence vastly smarter than the human brain. We will succeed. Blending accessible philosophy with the latest in AI developments, Mind Crime: The Moral Frontier of Artificial Intelligence forces listeners to grapple with the moral questions we can no longer afford to ignore. Are we prepared for the consequences of artificial superintelligence? Will humanity's survival be threatened, perhaps within years? Is digital consciousness possible? Are we sleepwalking into horrific moral catastrophe?

Morals have held empires together, kept soldiers marching under fire, fed the hungry, passed laws, built walls, welcomed immigrants, destroyed careers and governed our sex lives. But what if morality's all meaningless rubbish, a malfunctioning relic of our evolutionary past? This is the provocative argument that Chris makes. This isn't an attack on one set of moral codes or one way of thinking about ethics: it's a call for abolishing the whole caboodle.

Epiktet war einer der Hauptvertreter der Philosophie der Stoa, und als solcher äußerst einflussreich. Sein Handbuch ist ein Leitfaden für praktische Philosophie und bietet einen präzise formulierten Leitfaden für eine ethische Lebensführung. Ein sehr alter Text - doch imer noch hochaktuell!

God Money, God Power, Where is God Love? is not about religion, and it is not about politics. It is a message I wanted to share with the world that money is not as important if our hearts are filled with so much love. Love leads us to understanding and shows gratitude toward others. I express my deepest love for humanity, and my heart is open for all the children in this world, believing that these young children are the ones who open the doors to a better future. This cannot be done by one person alone. It starts in the home with proper guidance and values as the foundation.

Los filósofos griegos construyeron grandes discusiones sobre la realidad que continúan vigentes y siguen inspirando a los pensadores de hoy. Desde las enseñanzas matemáticas de Pitágoras, pasando por las ideas de Platón y Aristóteles, han sido fundamentales para el desarrollo intelectual hasta nuestros días. Hoy, sin embargo, ese papel lo ha adoptado una nueva clase de visionarios.

Need for Magic is an unabridged telling of the thought provoking and dangerous novel by Joseph Swope. Chris Dooly and Justine Moral combine their voice talents to offer a fantasy world where listeners can hear the gruff rumble of dwarves, the ancient wisdom of elves and even the accented spell work of wizards. The arch-villain is not a dragon, wizard or overlord. The evil one is a charismatic woman who knows what people need.

«Con esta obra se presenta un mosaico que ayuda a esclarecer la dinámica migratoria partiendo de una visión global, enfatizando la dinámica regional y poniendo el reflector sobre México como país de origen, tránsito, destino y retorno. Los artículos que integran el libro analizan cuestiones específicas que brindan una radiografía de las fallas y oportunidades que tiene nuestro sistema de gestión de los movimientos de población y que impactan en los aspectos más cotidianos y básicos de la vida de las personas migrantes y refugiadas.

My main aim in this audiobook version is to add value in students' lives, especially to the visually impaired/handicapped. The pursuit of wisdom is dear to my heart, and I know that it is harder when one is dealing with disabilities in their scholastic pursuit. Hopefully, by converting my book into an audio version, and thus by the use of technology, I can convey the wisdom in the crucial message.
