The Nicomachean Ethics by ARISTOTLE read by Geoffrey Edwards Part 2/2 | Full Audio Book
The Nicomachean Ethics by ARISTOTLE (384 BC - 322 BC), translated by Thomas TAYLOR (1758 - 1835)
Genre(s): Philosophy, Ancient
Read by: Geoffrey Edwards in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 09 - 09 - Book IX
00:59:42 - 10 - 10 - Book X
The work consists of ten books, originally separate scrolls, and is understood to be based on notes said to be from his lectures at the Lyceum which were either edited by or dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus. In many ways this work parallels the similar Eudemian Ethics, which has only eight books, and the two works can be fruitfully compared. Books V, VI, and VII of the Nicomachean Ethics are identical to Books IV, V, and VI of the Eudemian Ethics. Opinions about the relationship between the two works, for example which was written first, and which originally contained the three common books, is divided. Aristotle describes his ethical work as being different from his other kinds of study, because it is not just for the sake of contemplating what things are, but rather to actually become good ourselves. It is therefore practical rather than theoretical in the original Aristotelian senses of these terms. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Henry Ford profiles the events that shaped his personal philosophy, and the challenges he overcame on the road to founding the Ford Motor Company. Throughout his memoir, he stresses the importance of tangible service and physical production over relative value as judged by profits and money. He measures the worth of a business or government by the service it provides to all, not the profits in dollars it accumulates. He also makes the point that only service can provide for human needs, as opposed to laws or rules which can only prohibit specific actions and do not provide for the necessaries of life. Ford applies his reasoning to the lending system, transportation industry, international trade and interactions between labor and management. For each, he proposes solutions that maximize service and provide goods at the lowest cost and highest quality. He analyzes from a purely material viewpoint, going as far as to argue that the need for a good feeling in work environments may reflect a character flaw or weakness. However, his unflinching focus on the ultimate material products and necessities of life provide clever insights in how he created an efficient and flexible system for providing reliable transportation for the average person.

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. - Summary by Wikipedia

He marries the ravishingly beautiful Gloria, and together they plan for the day that Anthony receives his inheritance.

Le Morte d'Arthur (spelled Le Morte Darthur in the first printing and also in some modern editions, Middle French for la mort d'Arthur, 'the death of Arthur') is Sir Thomas Malory's compilation of some French and English Arthurian romances. The book contains some of Malory's own original material (the Gareth story) and retells the older stories in light of Malory's own views and interpretations. First published in 1485 by William Caxton, Le Morte d'Arthur is perhaps the best-known work of English-language Arthurian literature today. Many modern Arthurian writers have used Malory as their source, including T. H. White for his popular The Once and Future King. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Containing many realistic details based on Childers' own sailing trips along the German North Sea coast, the book is the retelling of a yachting expedition in the early 20th century combined with an adventurous spy story.It was one of the early invasion novels which predicted war with Germany and called for British preparedness. The plot involves the uncovering of secret German preparations for an invasion of the United Kingdom. It is often called the first modern spy novel, although others are as well, it was certainly very influential in the genre and for its time.The book enjoyed immense popularity in the years before World War I and was extremely influential. Winston Churchill later credited it as a major reason that the Admiralty decided to establish naval bases at Invergordon, the Firth of Forth and Scapa Flow. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Veröffentlichung dieser Ausgabe 1893Horaz, eigentlich Quintus Horatius Flaccus, ist neben Vergil einer der bedeutendsten römischen Dichter der „Augusteischen Zeit', das heißt der Zeit zwischen 43 v. Chr. und 14 n. Chr., also vom Tod Ciceros bis zum Tod des Augustus.Die zwei Bücher der Satiren bestehen aus zehn beziehungsweise acht teilweise recht umfangreichen Einzelgedichten in Hexametern. Horaz selbst nannte sie Sermones („Gespräche'). Er spricht darin mit Maecenas, mit dem Leser, mit sich selbst, und führt die Personen im Dialog vor. Ziel dieser nicht unbedingt harmlosen Plaudereien ist, dem Leser mit Humor die unangenehme Wahrheit aufzuzeigen. Vorbild war ihm der römische Satiriker Lucilius.Horaz war stets um das Wesentliche und Straffheit bemüht. So lautete sein Kunstprinzip: Vielfalt in der Beschränktheit. Zentrales Thema ist die rechte Lebensgestaltung. Die meisten Gedichte geißeln Laster, die sozialen Unfrieden stiften oder zumindest die menschlichen Beziehungen beeinträchtigen, wie zum Beispiel: Habgier, Ehebruch, Aberglaube, Schlemmerei ... Im Gegensatz zu Lucilius, der schonungslos hochgestellte Zeitgenossen anprangerte, musste sich Horaz in dieser Beziehung zurückhalten. Seine Ausfälle beschränkten sich auf verstorbene Personen, einflusslose Leute und stadtbekannte Außenseiter. Nicht selten stellte er stellvertretend für den Normalbürger auch sich selbst und seine Schwächen dar.(Zusammenfassung von Wikipedia)
