For in hotel rooms, trendy bookstores, television screens, and internet websites, there is enough viewing of pornographic materials to trap lives forever. It is the world that author Henry Rogers reveals to us in a book that has too few peers. The Silent War, through interviews, statistics, and other facts, traces the...

Composed of ten books and based upon Aristotle’s own notes from his lectures at the Lyceum, “Nicomachean Ethics” holds a pre-eminent place amongst the ancient treatises on moral philosophy. As opposed to other pre-Socratic works, “Nicomachean Ethics” moves beyond the purely theoretical analysis of moral philosophy by examining its practical application. Aristotelian ethics is concerned with how an individual should best live their life and at its core asserts the idea that the most virtuous life...

The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant is widely considered as one the most important figures in modern philosophy. His fundamental arguments with regard to the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics, have been highly influential and form the basis for much of contemporary thought upon the subjects with which he was concerned. Kant believed that there were fundamental concepts that structured human experience, and that reason principally...

Spinoza was born of Jewish and Portuguese ancestry in 1632 and lived a simple life in Amsterdam as an optical lens grinder.

In this seminal work, Spinoza lays out his...

German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche was one the most controversial figures of the 19th century. His evocative writings on religion, morality, culture, philosophy, and science were often polemic attacks against the established views of his time. First published in 1886, “Beyond Good and Evil” is a work that draws upon and expands the ideas that Nietzsche first addressed in his previous work, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra.” Nietzsche contrasts the concepts of good and evil as they were viewed in...

In response to this, both politicians and ordinary citizens...

This is a surreal time for freedom of speech. While the legal protections of the First Amendment remain strong, the culture is obsessed with punishing individuals for allegedly offensive utterances. And academia – already an institution in which free speech is in decline – has grown still more intolerant, with high-profile “disinvitation” efforts against well-known speakers and demands for professors to provide “trigger warnings” in class....

De fleste af os elsker kod, og bare tanken om fedtdryppende steaks far munden til at lobe i vand. Men kod er ikke sa uskyldig en nAeringskilde, som supermarkederne gerne vil bilde os ind. Millioner af dyr far hver dag en boltpistol for panden og en tur gennem kodhakkeren for at tilfredsstille vores kodelige lyster, og sporgsmalet om frikadeller eller ej bringer altid blodet i kog hos gud og hvermand. Det er vist pa tide, at Jonatan Leer, kodAeder med samvittighedskvaler ved Aarhus Universitet,...

Den kan vAere ilde hort, hel og halv, og den hele far du fra born og fulde folk. Der er sandt at sige tale om sandheden. Eller maske sandheder, for der er flere udgaver. Astronomer mener ikke lAengere, Pluto er en planet, men det gjorde de engang. Nogle tror, Jesus er sandheden, andre Koranen. Uanset hvad vil en ungkarl altid vAere ugift. Alt er nemlig ikke relativt. Din lognedetektor styres heldigvis hverken af born eller berusede, men af Helge Kragh, professor i videnskabshistorie ved Aarhus...

KAerligheden er overalt. En romantisk kliche? Nej, et videnskabeligt faktum. Sporg bare Anne Marie Pahuus, filosof ved Aarhus Universitet. KAerligheden er i det storste som det mindste: Vi elsker vores born, og vi elsker is, nogle elsker endda Jesus, andre den danske sommer. KAerlighed er limen i alle parforhold og kernen i ethvert samfund. Den spAender vidt, fra lykke til lidelse, fra kedelig til kvalmende. Den kan overvinde alt og give evige sorger. Men siden tidernes morgen har hverken...

Enhver by er et netvAerk. Af indbyggere og bygninger, gader og strAeder, kabler og kloakker, som forbinder sig med hinanden pa kryds og tvAers. Og hver by indgar i nye og storre monstre med andre byer, vokser ud over alle grAenser og langt over vores hoveder. Endda i en sadan grad, at byerne ifolge Mikkel Thelle, indfodt kobenhavner og urban historiker ved Aarhus Universitet, indoptager deres tidligere modsAetninger, og det ikke lAengere giver mening at tale om land eller natur. I stedet vil...

Skam gor os ilde tilpas. Sa snart vi foler os negativt bedomt, pibler sveden frem, rodmen stiger op i kinderne, og vi kigger febrilsk efter et musehul at krybe i. Heldigvis ser andre mennesker os ikke nodvendigvis sadan, som vi frygter. Alligevel er der ifolge Carsten Stage, blufAerdig skamforsker ved Aarhus Universitet, ingen grund til at bide hovedet af al skam. Skam kan vAere en konstruktiv kilde til selvrefleksion og endda til politisk mobilisering. For uden nogen skam i livet ville vi ikke...

Den tid, den sorg, siger vi. Men den tid kommer altid. For sorg er et grundvilkar for os alle. Engang vil vi miste dem, vi elsker, og de vil miste os. Sorg foler vi dog ikke kun, nar et menneske dor. Vi mAerker ogsa fortvivlelsen, nar vi lider andre af livets mange tab, fra skilsmisser til alvorlig sygdom. Ifolge Mai-Britt Guldin, sorgforsker ved Aarhus Universitet, skal vi ikke tage sorgerne pa forskud. Hvis vi til gengAeld tor give sorgen en plads i livet, nar den dukker op, kan dens smerte...

Ahr… lige en mere og en til … Nej, det er ikke en slikmund, der retfAerdiggor et par skumfiduser, men udtryk for en langt stAerkere trang, vi alle lider af, nemlig begAeret efter serier. Deres cliffhangere, fortryllende verdener og andre udspekulerede tricks har gjort os afhAengige af alt fra podcasts til bogfoljetoner. Tore Rye Andersen, erklAeret serienarkoman ved Aarhus Universitet, har indset, at enhver modstand er nytteslos over for det 21. arhundredes dominerende fortAelleform. Maske er...

Leg er ikke kun for born og barnlige sjAele. Alle vi kedelige voksne leger ogsa. Vi giver bare kun fantasien frit spil sammen med familie og gode venner. Der er nu ingen grund til at vAere flov over vores legesyge ifolge Marc Malmdorf Andersen, hojtudviklet legebarn ved Aarhus Universitet. For leg er en form for videnskab, hvor vi ved at afprove det ene skore pafund efter det andet ikke bare bliver bedre voksne og mere kreative; vi kan ogsa fa kAerligheden til at vokse og redde hele verden.

Vesten er vild med frihed: ytringsfrihed, valgfrihed, friskoler, frihandel, forsamlingsfrihed og ikke mindst fri sex. Der er frihed overalt – selv reklamerne lover os frihed til at vAere den, vi drommer om. Et af problemerne er, at vi bruger ordet frihed sa meget, at vi nAesten har glemt, hvad det egentlig betyder. Friheden kunne med andre ord trAenge til en god omgang sprogvask, sa vi igen kan skelne de forskellige betydninger af begrebet klart.Hans-Jorgen Schanz patager sig i Frihed at skure...
