    The King's Two Bodies
    In 1957 Ernst Kantorowicz published a book that would be the guide for generations of scholars through the arcane mysteries of medieval political theology. In The King's Two Bodies, Kantorowicz traces the historical problem posed by the "King's two bodies"--the body politic and the body natural--back to the Middle Ages and demonstrates, by placing the concept in its proper setting of medieval thought and political theory, how the early-modern Western monarchies gradually began to develop a "political theology." The king's natural body has physical attributes, suffers, and dies, naturally, as do all humans; but the king's other body, the spiritual body, transcends the earthly and serves as a symbol of his office as majesty with the divine right to rule. The notion of the two bodies allowed for the continuity of monarchy even when the monarch died, as summed up in the formulation "The king is dead. Long live the king."

    Culture Starts with You, Not Your Boss: The 5 Pieces of the Innovation Culture Puzzle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 302min
    In his doctoral research, author Yoram Solomon showed that the factors affecting creativity and productivity the most could be summed up with one word - culture. He published his findings in his book Un-Kill Creativity: How Corporate America Can Out-Innovate Startups. However, he also found that employees play a major role in creating the right culture and should not put the burden solely on management. Through nine fictional stories, inspired by true events, he explains the model for building a culture of innovation. Finally, he explains how to build trust in a team and why we tend to skip between politically correct arguments directly to destructive, personal, and emotional conflicts, avoiding the constructive conflict in the middle. ungekürzt.

    On the Duty of Civil Disobedience , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
    Echoing the resurgence of civil disobedience in the 21st century - public pushbacks against racism, government overreach, and nationwide tensions surrounding the coronavirus health pandemic - "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience", published by Henry David Thoreau in 1849, speaks eloquently and personally about one man's desire to live a peaceful, government-free life.    In this short essay, Thoreau lays out his philosophy best summed up by the author as, "That government governs best that does not govern at all." Thoreau takes on the key issues of his day: slavery and the Mexican war.

    Badiou by Badiou (eBook, ePUB)
    An accessible introduction to Badiou's key ideas In this short and accessible book, the French philosopher Alain Badiou provides readers with a unique introduction to his system of thought, summed up in the trilogy of Being and Event, Logics of Worlds, and The Immanence of Truths. Taking the form of an interview and two talks and keeping in mind a broad audience without any prior knowledge of his work, the book touches upon the central concepts and major preoccupations of Badiou's philosophy: fundamental ontology, mathematics, politics, poetry, and love. Well-chosen examples illuminate his thinking in regards to being and universality, worlds and singularity, and the infinite and the absolute, among other topics. A veritable tour de force of pedagogical clarity, this new student-friendly work is perhaps the single best general introduction to the work of this prolific and committed thinker. If, for Badiou, the task of philosophy consists in thinking through the truths of our time, the texts collected in this small volume could not be timelier.
