This book offers a radical rethinking of one of modernity’s most mistrusted concepts. Long associated with manipulation, coercion, and failed utopias, social engineering has often meant the sacrifice of individuality for the sake of imagined harmony. But what if its core idea—deliberate design of social life—could be grounded in ethics, humility, and a deep respect for human complexity? Rejecting both the authoritarian logic of the past and the fantasy of pure spontaneity, this work proposes a mature, humane, and sustainable vision of transformation. One that shapes environments, not people.

In a world defined by uncertainty, loss, and relentless change, the human spirit is tested as never before. Desperate Optimism explores the paradox at the heart of endurance: the power to hope, create, and act even when circumstances seem bleak, and outcomes are uncertain. It is neither naïve faith nor passive wishful thinking, but a deliberate, defiant choice to engage fully with life despite its fragility.

This book explores the fundamental concepts of fear and fearlessness as driving forces behind human behavior throughout the ages. It offers a philosophical and psychological examination of these emotions, tracing them from the earliest survival instincts to their lingering influence on modern society. The author considers how fears shape identity, cultural norms, and social structures, while also proposing ways to transcend them through awareness, inner freedom, and a creative approach to life.

A pacifist in a time of drafts, an exile in a time of war, a young man once fled with nothing but a tea tin of memories. From those scraps was born the Plushling Bear—a soft, absurd creature wandering through grotesque landscapes where bottles are empty, folk devour themselves, and the gentle are always hunted. This is no ordinary fable. It is an adolescent tale stitched from childhood images: scraps of paper, torn toys, grandmother’s voice, lemon-juice tears.

“Why People Think I Am a Fool” is not a book of confessions, nor an apology, nor a plea for sympathy. It is a reckoning — with God, with the state, with love, with money, with health, with the very illusions that bind a human life. Boris Kriger writes in a voice that is at once defiant and vulnerable, philosophical and intimate. He does not hide from contradiction; he exposes it. To be called a fool, he argues, is not a disgrace but a condition of honesty. A fool is one who keeps searching, who refuses to freeze his thought into dogma, who dares to say what others dismiss.

Time, it argues, is not a conveyor belt dragging us helplessly toward oblivion but a vast, unmoving structure—something like a cathedral of moments—where nothing ever vanishes. Each moment is not a tick on a clock or a dot on a graph, but its own chamber where past, present, and future sit around the same table, quarreling, laughing, and refusing to leave.

In a house worn thin by time and silence, two quiet creatures—Bear and Hare—awaken not just from sleep, but from the strange dream of being human. With nothing more than a burnt blanket, a heater, a teaspoon cradling the last flicker of a lamp, and a memory of evening rain, they set out across rooftops, fog, and the forgotten corners of Earth. Part fable, part lullaby, Bear and Hare is a tender, quietly surreal tale about love without condition, the fragile magic of domestic moments, and the possibility that even a dream—if held gently—can shape a planet.

What does it mean to live in harmony with others? Is it possible to balance self-interest with compassion, individuality with community, freedom with responsibility? This book takes you on a journey through philosophy, science, history, and everyday life to explore one of humanity’s oldest questions: how can we live together without destroying each other?

In the eighteenth century, Europe experienced not just a change in thought, but a seismic upheaval in the very way humanity understood itself. The Enlightenment was an audacious wager: that reason could free people from superstition, that knowledge could replace dogma, that justice could outshine cruelty, and that individuals—once mere subjects of kings and churches—could become citizens of their own destinies. This book traces the great philosophical schools of the Enlightenment in all their brilliance, contradictions, and drama.

Wir suchen nach Sinn. Wir verlangen Erklärungen. Wir hoffen auf Antworten. Aber das Leben antwortet uns mit hartnäckigem Schweigen. Hier entsteht das Absurde: in der Kluft zwischen unserem Verlangen nach Ordnung und der Gleichgültigkeit der Welt.

Science is often portrayed as a realm of certainty—precise formulas, flawless methods, and sudden “eureka” moments of revelation. But the truth is far more complex, fragile, and deeply human. This book explores the hidden life of science: its adventurism and audacity, its errors and illusions, its entanglement with power, and its uneasy partnership with machines.

This book explores the limits of perception, the traps of intuition and prejudice, the illusions of objectivity, and the chains of history that bind every act of thought. Here, knowledge is not a shining monument but a lantern in fog—its light flickering, its shadows multiplying. Creation, far from pure, emerges as a paradox: invention born of fragments, originality stitched from memory, progress inseparable from destruction. In this book, philosophy meets satire, science confronts ambition, and art wrestles with the weight of necessity.

In an age where truth is both overexposed and inaccessible, the figure of the conspiracist returns—not as a madman, but as a symptom. Suspicion, long treated as a cognitive flaw or ideological threat, emerges here as a form of knowledge-in-waiting: a structure of interpretation forged at the intersection of betrayal, memory, and power. This book offers a rigorous examination of conspiracy thinking, not to defend its conclusions, but to understand its function.

Nous cherchons du sens. Nous exigeons des explications. Nous espérons des réponses. Mais la vie nous répond par un silence obstiné. C’est là que naît l’absurde: dans l’écart entre notre soif d’ordre et l’indifférence du monde.

For centuries, the patent has stood as a symbol of invention—a mark of genius, a reward for creativity, a promise that innovation would be protected and shared. But behind this polished image lies a more tangled reality. Patents today are wielded less as shields and more as weapons. They grant monopolies over life-saving drugs, obstruct progress in software and biotechnology, and often reward delay, secrecy, and litigation over actual discovery. In this unflinching exploration, the author traces the journey of the patent system from its noble origins to its increasingly distorted present.

Penseur d'une profonde originalité et d'une difficulté notoire, Martin Heidegger reste l'une des figures les plus controversées du XXe siècle. Son ouvrage monumental Sein und Zeit (Être et temps) a redéfini la question centrale de la philosophie, à savoir ce que signifie « être », tandis que ses écrits ultérieurs ont exploré la technologie, le langage, l'art et la mortalité. Pourtant, ses implications politiques obscures continuent de susciter le malaise, obligeant les lecteurs à se confronter non seulement à la brillance de sa pensée, mais aussi au côté sombre de sa biographie.

Paleophilosophy: The Dawn of Thought is a book that restores to us the forgotten dignity of ancient humanity. It makes a simple and radical claim: philosophy is older than cities, temples, and alphabets; it begins not with libraries, but with silence around the fire, with palms pressed against stone, with the rhythm of the dance, with the care given to the dead, and with dreams in which humankind first encountered the “other.

This book is a journey beyond blame, outrage, and moral posturing—into the deeper clarity of compassion, the discipline of non-judgment, and the quiet strength of understanding. Blending psychology, philosophy, and lived wisdom, it invites a new way of seeing: one that heals rather than divides, listens rather than condemns, and thinks with both heart and mind. A guide for those who long to live—and lead—with depth, honesty, and peace.

Als Denker von tiefgreifender Originalität und berüchtigter Schwierigkeit bleibt Martin Heidegger eine der umstrittensten Figuren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein monumentales Werk „Sein und Zeit“ definierte die zentrale Frage der Philosophie – was es bedeutet, „zu sein“ – neu, während seine späteren Schriften sich mit Technologie, Sprache, Kunst und Sterblichkeit befassten. Doch seine dunklen politischen Verstrickungen sorgen weiterhin für Unbehagen und verlangen von den Lesern, sich nicht nur mit der Brillanz seines Denkens, sondern auch mit den Schattenseiten seiner Biografie auseinanderzusetzen.

In a world transformed by artificial intelligence, the future of creativity hangs in the balance—not because machines are capable of feeling, but because they can now imitate the surface of expression with astonishing ease. This audiobook explores the cultural shift already underway, where AI does not destroy the creative act but redefines the conditions under which it must now exist.
