Können wir wichtige Lebensentscheidungen rational treffen, obwohl wir die Zukunft nicht kennen? Die Philosophin L. A. Paul meint: Nein, denn wenn unsere Prognosen und Vorstellungen auf unbekannten Faktoren und deren Folgen basieren, sind sie nicht rational, können es auch gar nicht sein. Am Beispiel der Frage, ob man Kinder bekommen solle, entwickelt sie den Begriff der «transformativen Erfahrung». Um eine bessere Entscheidung zu treffen, folgert sie, solle man sich nicht fragen: «Soll ich oder...

Award-winning biophysicist Markolf H. Niemz puts into a nutshell what the top 3 scientists on earth have discovered. Charles Darwin: Animal and man are not two. Albert Einstein: Space and time are not two. Alfred N. Whitehead: The world and I are not two. The world we live in is non-dualistic. Nature is crying for peace, but we shut off foreign from native, poor from rich, others from ourselves. It is our concept of the self that stands in the way of peace. Based on Darwin's,...

Der Autor untersucht die Möglichkeiten, die den Menschen gegeben sind, der Wesenheit und der Wirklichkeit Gottes näher zu kommen. Er geht den drei monotheistischen Religionen vom Altertum, über das Mittelalter bis in die Neuzeit auf den Grund und stellt dabei fest, dass Rabbis, Bischöfe, Pfarrer und Mullahs schon früh religiöse Schriften und Glaubensgrundsätze manipulierten. Bei der Verfassung der Bibel wurden christliche Schriften, die im 2. Jahrhundert vorlagen, nicht berücksichtigt. Das...

In this essay of extraordinary scope and depth, Eric McLuhan explores faith as a form of knowing. He does so against the backdrop of preliterate man’s concrete, bodily submersion in the putting on of poetry and drama (the practice of mimesis) and post-literate man’s bodiless submersion in electronic communication, in which sender and receiver are everywhere and nowhere at once. In traversing the Aristotelian and Medieval concept of sensus communis, he examines synesthesia as, in effect, its...

How can we gain insight into and mastery of ourselves? Entering the world of the great philosophers and engaging with them, we become aware of what we are capable of becoming. They speak to us of themselves and the good life and thereby offer the possibility for self-development. While this sounds like psychology, it is what the ancient Greeks called moral philosophy and its main precept is 'know oneself'. To know oneself is to embrace one's personal power. From Socrates to...

In each of Arguments for Liberty’s nine chapters a different political philosopher discusses how his or her preferred school of thought judges political institutions and why...

San Antonians love Cary Clack for the sparkle of wit and wisdom he brings to them in his column in the <I>San Antonio Express-News.</I> But his style and sensibility make his work equally popular far beyond that city. He offers pithy, probing coverage of national issues such as terrorism, racism, and child abuse, but his keen sense of humor often turns to the stuff of everyday life such as the inexplicable power of Krispy Kreme doughnuts and his terror of clowns. The columns...

In Admirable Evasions, Theodore Dalrymple explains why human self-understanding has not been bettered by the false promises of the different schools of psychological thought. Most psychological explanations of human behavior are not only ludicrously inadequate oversimplifications, argues Dalrymple, they are socially harmful in that they allow those who believe in them to evade personal responsibility for their actions and to put the blame on a multitude of scapegoats: on their childhood, their...

Appeals to “human dignity” are at the core of many of the most contentious social and political issues of our time. But these appeals suggest different and at times even contradictory ways of understanding the term. Is dignity something we all share equally, and therefore the reason we all ought to be treated as equals? Or is it what distinguishes some greater and more admirable human beings from the rest? What notion of human dignity should inform our private judgments and...

Most American young people, like their ancestors, harbor desires for a worthy life: a life of meaning, a life that makes sense. But they are increasingly confused about what such a life might look like, and how they might, in the present age, be able to live one. With a once confident culture no longer offering authoritative guidance, the young are now at sea—regarding work, family, religion, and civic identity. The true, the good, and the beautiful have few defenders, and the higher cynicism...

Over the past thirty years, as Wesley J. Smith details in his latest book, the concept of animal rights has been seeping into the very bone marrow of Western culture. One reason for this development is that the term “animal rights” is so often used very loosely, to mean simply being nicer to animals. But although animal rights groups do sometimes focus their activism on promoting animal welfare, the larger movement they represent is actually advancing a radical belief...

What does it mean to be a hero? In The Heroic Heart, Tod Lindberg traces the quality of heroic greatness from its most distant origin in human prehistory to the present day. The designation of “hero” once conjured mainly the prowess of conquerors and kings slaying their enemies on the battlefield. Heroes in the modern world come in many varieties, from teachers and mentors making a lasting impression on others by giving of themselves, to firefighters no less willing than their...

Am 22. Mai 1979 hielt der spätere Nobelpreisträger und indische Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Philosoph Amartya Sen in Stanford einen Vortrag, der unser Denken über Entwicklungshilfe und Verteilungsgerechtigkeit nachhaltig erschüttern sollte: Mit Bezug auf die Gerechtigkeitstheorie des Philosophen John Rawls führte er seine These aus, dass es nicht um die Verteilung von Gütern oder Geld (z.B. in der Entwicklungshilfe), sondern um die Chancen gehen solle, die jeder einzelne zur Verwirklichung...
