During the 2010 Olympic speed skating final, Mark Tuitert wasn't thinking about winning, but about Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus and Zeno - philosophers belonging to an ancient school of thought that emerged from their experiences of personal hardship. The Stoics developed a philosophy grounded in striving toward unbiased thinking, self-betterment through virtues, and a focus on only that which lies in our power to control. Now, after two decades of applying this philosophy, he has distilled Stoicism and his personal experience into ten powerful lessons.

Gut zu sein in einem tieferen Sinn ist die beste Therapie gegen innere Leere, Antriebslosigkeit und Depression. Es hält jung und gesund. Andersherum rächen sich böse Taten nicht erst im nächsten Leben, sondern bereits in diesem. Faszinierende neue Studien aus der Medizin und der Biologie belegen das. Doch wie erschließen wir diese Kraftquelle für uns? Wie werden wir zu den guten Menschen, für die wir uns vielleicht schon halten? Und was heißt es eigentlich, gut zu sein?

-
Story
Reflecting on many examples from real life as well as literature, and on the insights of psychologists and philosophers, Cherry uses the tension between the desire to forgive and the protest that a person is unforgivable to push towards understandings of forgiveness that avoid the harshness of binary models. Forgiveness is not, he insists, the only good way forward after harm. A positive understanding of non-vengeful unforgiveness is vital if the harmed are to be given the care and support they need and deserve, and if forgiveness itself is to be authentic and liberating.

Story
We say that life is priceless. Yet the cost of saving a life, creating a life or compensating for a life taken is routinely calculated and put into practice. In a world in love with data, it is possible to run a cost-benefit analysis on anything – including life itself. For philanthropists, judges, criminals, healthcare providers and government ministers, it’s just part of the job. In The Price of Life, journalist, broadcaster and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on an adventure to meet some of the people who decide what we're worth.

Story
Immanuel Kants Schrift "Träume eines Geistersehers erläutert durch Träume der Metaphysik", erstmals erschienen 1766 in Königsberg, nimmt in der Herausbildung der kritischen Denkungsart des großen Philosophen einen wichtigen Platz ein. Denn Kant setzt sich in ihr zum einen mit der Geisterseherei Emanuel Swedenborgs wie auch mit den teils Luftschlössern gleichenden Denkgebäuden der damaligen Metaphysik auseinander, die er als "durch das blinde Vertrauen in die Scheingründe der Vernunft erzeugte Illusionen" entlarvt.
