    Gespräche über Bewußtsein
    "Gespräche über Bewußtsein" bietet einen leichtverständlichen, durch ein Begriffsglossar ergänzten Überblick über das gesamte Spektrum gegenwärtiger Bewußtseinsforschung mit all ihren faszinierenden und kontroversen theoretischen Details. David Chalmers etwa erklärt, warum das Bewußtsein ein solch schwieriges Problem ist, und Susan Greenfield, was man schon bei Sophokles und Euripides Interessantes über Willensfreiheit lernen kann. Francisco Varela spricht über Zombies, Roger Penrose über John Searle, Searle über Immanuel Kant. Wir erfahren von Vilayanur Ramachandran, warum er nicht meditiert, und von Thomas Metzinger, inwiefern das bewußte Selbst eine Illusion ist. Das Buch gewährt darüber hinaus einen sehr persönlichen Einblick in das leidenschaftliche Denken der herausragenden Forscher auf diesem Gebiet.

    Transmutations: The Strange Change Chronicles, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 425min
    Young Danny Mitchell's life seems to be falling apart. First his father died, then his mother moved them away from his life in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to the small river town of Martins Ferry, Ohio. Yet when he finds his father's boyhood journal, things start looking up as he and some neighborhood kids begin exploring the haunts of his late father. But Danny's life is about to get an even bigger shock. Barbas, one of The 88, has destructive plans for North America that will start in the Ohio Valley region, from Pittsburgh to Martins Ferry. Jealous of the other members of The 88 and hoping to unleash something worse than the rest, Barbas has brought Dr. Ramachandran into his confidence, an Indian scientist who conducted experiments on captured Pakistanis a decade ago and is now a hunted man. Together with Captain Merritt of The Black Hand, Barbas and Ramachandran release a mist that genetically alters humans at a physical level, changing them into strange human-insect hybrids that have the ability to spread this alteration to others. As hordes of the changed victims spread across the Ohio Valley region and beyond, Danny and his friends, along with a few other unchanged people they meet along the way, struggle to maintain their humanity in a world gone weird. ungekürzt.

    Phantoms in the Brain: Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
    Neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran is internationally renowned for uncovering answers to the deep and quirky questions of human nature that few scientists have dared to address. His bold insights about the brain are matched only by the stunning simplicity of his experiments - using such low-tech tools such as cotton swabs, glasses of water, and dime-store mirrors. In Phantoms in the Brain, Dr. Ramachandran recounts how his work with patients who have bizarre neurological disorders has shed new light on the deep architecture of the brain, and what these findings tell us about who we are, how we construct our body image, why we laugh or become depressed, why we may believe in God, and how we make decisions, deceive ourselves, and dream. Some of his most notable cases: A woman paralyzed on the left side of her body who believes she is lifting a tray of drinks with both hands offers a unique opportunity to test Freud's theory of denial. A man who insists he is talking with God challenges us to ask: Could we be "wired" for religious experience? A woman who hallucinates cartoon characters illustrates how, in a sense, we are all hallucinating, all the time. Dr. Ramachandran's inspired medical detective work pushes the boundaries of medicine's last great frontier-the human mind-yielding new and provocative insights into the "big questions" about consciousness and the self. ungekürzt.

    A timeless treatise on what constitutes the Hindu way of life  Religion in India can appear to be a confusing tangle of myths, with many different gods and goddesses worshipped in countless forms.This complexity stems from a love of storytelling as much as anything else, but it is only the surface expression of Indian faith. Beneath can be found a system of unifying beliefs that have guided the lives of ordinary families for generations. Here, one of the most profound philosophers of India explains these and other related concepts intrinsic to the Hindu philosophy of life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kaushik Ramachandran.

    It's No Longer a Dream! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    “Does love manage to find a way, even when all illusions fade? Where does the journey end?” Akshat Diwan has everything that the tangible world can offer for a dreamlike life - luxurious cars, a palatial mansion, extravagant wealth and an heirloom of infinite opulence. All but peace! His parents are forever in a state of prolonged hostility; add to it failing spurious friendships and a dwindling love life that metamorphoses him into a soul-less creature. Cursing his misfortune, and in an attempt to end his anguish and despair, Akshat embarks on an unknown journey, seeking nothing but solitude or perhaps a glimpse of his inner being. It is when he meets a stranger that he realizes his journey is not just any journey but a roller-coaster ride to unravel the harsh realities of life. ungekürzt. Language: English.
