The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.” Published originally as “The Soul of Man Under Socialism,” this is not so much a work of sober political analysis; rather it can be summed up as a rhapsodic manifesto on behalf of the Individual. Socialism having deployed technology to liberate the whole of humanity from soul-destroying labor, the State obligingly withers away to allow the free development of a joyful, anarchic hedonism. “Is this Utopian? A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.” Far from abandoning the epigram in favor of the slogan, Wilde wittily assails several of his favorite targets: the misguided purveyors of philanthropy; life-denying ascetics of various kinds; the army of the half-educated who constitute themselves the enemies of Art - and those venal popular journalists who cater to them... “Behind the barricade, there may be much that is noble and heroic. But what is there behind the leading-article but prejudice, stupidity, cant, and twaddle?” (Introduction by Martin Geeson) #TheSoulofMan #Socialism #OscarWilde #TheFreeAudiobooks #Audiobook #Audiobooks --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefreeaudiobooks/message

Produced in 415 BC during the Peloponnesian War, it is often considered a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its populace by the Athenians earlier that year. 415 BC was also the year of the scandalous desecration of the hermai and the Athenians' second expedition to Sicily, events which may also have influenced the author. The Trojan Women was the third tragedy of a trilogy dealing with the Trojan War. The first tragedy, Alexandros, was about the recognition of the Trojan prince Paris who had been abandoned in infancy by his parents and rediscovered in adulthood. The second tragedy, Palamedes, dealt with Greek mistreatment of their fellow Greek Palamedes. This trilogy was presented at the Dionysia along with the comedic satyr play Sisyphos. The plots of this trilogy were not connected in the way that Aeschylus' Oresteia was connected. Euripides did not favour such connected trilogies. Euripides won second prize at the City Dionysia for his effort, losing to the obscure tragedian Xenocles. The four Trojan women of the play are the same who appears in the final book of the Iliad lamenting over the corpse of Hector. #TheTrojanWomen #Euripides #TheFreeAudiobooks #Audiobook #Audiobooks --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefreeaudiobooks/message

00:00:00 01 - Part I 00:35:50 02 - Part II 01:12:26 03 - Part III Oedipus Rex by Sophocles Audiobook Full Length (Murray Translation) "Oedipus Rex" (Ancient Greek: Οἰδίπους Τύραννος, Oidipous Tyrannos), also known as "Oedipus the King" or "Oedipus the Tyrant," is an Athenian tragedy by Sophocles that was first performed about 429 BC (noted classicist Gilbert Murray, translator of this version of the play, rendered the title as "Oedipus, King of Thebes"). It was the second in order of Sophocles's composition of his three plays dealing with Oedipus. Thematically, however, it was the first in the trilogy's historical chronology, followed by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone. "Oedipus the King," tells the story of Oedipus, a man who becomes the king of Thebes, whilst in the process unwittingly fulfilling a prophecy that he would kill his father Laius and marry his mother Jocasta. The play is an example of the classic tragedy, notably containing an emphasis upon how Oedipus's own faults contribute to his downfall (as opposed to making fate the sole cause). Over the centuries, "Oedipus Rex" has come to be regarded by many as the Greek tragedy par excellence. #OedipusRexAudiobook #Sophocles #SophoclesAudiobook --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefreeaudiobooks/message

In it, Schopenhauer examines a total of thirty-eight methods of defeating one's opponent in a debate. He introduces his essay with the idea that philosophers have concentrated in ample measure on the rules of logic, but have not (especially since the time of Immanuel Kant) engaged with the darker art of the dialectic, of controversy. Whereas the purpose of logic is classically said to be a method of arriving at the truth, dialectic, says Schopenhauer, "...on the other hand, would treat of the intercourse between two rational beings who, because they are rational, ought to think in common, but who, as soon as they cease to agree like two clocks keeping exactly the same time, create a disputation, or intellectual contest." The following lists the 38 stratagems described by Schopenhauer, in the order of their appearance in the book: 01 - The Extension (Dana's Law) 02 - The Homonymy 03 - Generalize Your Opponent's Specific Statements 04 - Conceal Your Game 05 - False Propositions 06 - Postulate What Has to Be Proved 07 - Yield Admissions Through Questions 08 - Make Your Opponent Angry 09 - Questions in Detouring Order 10 - Take Advantage of the Nay-Sayer 11 - Generalize Admissions of Specific Cases 12 - Choose Metaphors Favourable to Your Proposition 13 - Agree to Reject the Counter-Proposition 14 - Claim Victory Despite Defeat 15 - Use Seemingly Absurd Propositions 16 - Arguments Ad Hominem 17 - Defense Through Subtle Distinction 18 - Interrupt, Break, Divert the Dispute 19 - Generalize the Matter, Then Argue Against it 20 - Draw Conclusions Yourself 21 - Meet Him With a Counter-Argument as Bad as His 22 - Petitio principii 23 - Make Him Exaggerate His Statement 24 - State a False Syllogism 25 - Find One Instance to the Contrary 26 - Turn the Tables 27 - Anger Indicates a Weak Point 28 - Persuade the Audience, Not the Opponent 29 - Diversion 30 - Appeal to Authority Rather Than Reason 31 - This Is Beyond Me 32 - Put His Thesis into Some Odious Category 33 - It Applies in Theory, but Not in Practice 34 - Don't Let Him Off the Hook 35 - Will Is More Effective Than Insight 36 - Bewilder Your opponent by Mere Bombast 37 - A Faulty Proof Refutes His Whole Position 38 - Become Personal, Insulting, Rude #TheArtofControversy #ArthurSchopenhauer #TheArtofBeingRight #TheFreeAudiobooks #Audiobook #Audiobooks --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefreeaudiobooks/message

The philosophy of Confucius, also known as Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, the correctness of social relationships, justice, kindness, and sincerity. Confucianism was part of the Chinese social fabric and way of life; to Confucians, everyday life was the arena of religion. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin dynasty. Following the victory of Han over the Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction in the new government. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Confucianism developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism, and later New Confucianism (Modern Neo-Confucianism). Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the Chinese classic texts including all of the Five Classics, but modern scholars are cautious of attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects, but only many years after his death. Confucius's principles have a commonality with Chinese tradition and belief. He championed strong family loyalty, ancestor veneration, and respect of elders by their children and of husbands by their wives, recommending family as a basis for ideal government. He espoused the well-known principle "Do not do unto others what you do not want doing to yourself", the Golden Rule. He is also a traditional deity in Daoism. Confucius is widely considered as one of the most important and influential individuals in human history. His teaching and philosophy greatly affected people around the world and remain influential today.

It tells of a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. It is considered one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults and children. One of the best-known and most famous works of English-language fiction, its narrative, structure, characters, and imagery have enormously influenced popular culture and literature, especially in fantasy. The work has never been out of print, and it has been translated into at least 97 languages. Its legacy encompasses many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, art, ballet, theme parks, board games, and video games. Carroll published a sequel in 1871 titled Through the Looking-Glass and a shortened version for young children, The Nursery "Alice", in 1890. The main characters in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are the following: Alice The White Rabbit The Mouse The Dodo The Lory The Eaglet The Duck Pat Bill the Lizard Puppy The Caterpillar The Duchess The Cheshire Cat The Mad Hatter The March Hare The Dormouse The Queen of Hearts The King of Hearts The Knave of Hearts The Gryphon The Mock Turtle Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Audiobook Full Length | Audiobook English #AlicesAdventuresinWonderland #LewisCarroll #AliceinWonderland #TheFreeAudiobooks #Audiobook #Audiobooks --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefreeaudiobooks/message

He received multiple nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909, and that he never won is a major controversy. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1878), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852–1856), and Sevastopol Sketches (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859), and Hadji Murad (1912). He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. In the 1870s Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis, followed by what he regarded as an equally profound spiritual awakening, as outlined in his non-fiction work A Confession (1882). His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centring on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You (1894), had a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Tolstoy also became a dedicated advocate of Georgism, the economic philosophy of Henry George, which he incorporated into his writing, particularly Resurrection (1899). #LeoTolstoy #TheFreeAudiobooks #Audiobook #Audiobooks --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefreeaudiobooks/message

Fearing the story was indecent, prior to publication the magazine's editor deleted roughly five hundred words without Wilde's knowledge. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding the public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press, although he personally made excisions of some of the most controversial material when revising and lengthening the story for book publication the following year. The longer and revised version of The Picture of Dorian Gray published in book form in 1891 featured an aphoristic preface—a defence of the artist's rights and of art for art's sake—based in part on his press defences of the novel the previous year. The content, style, and presentation of the preface made it famous in its own right, as a literary and artistic manifesto. In April 1891, the publishing firm of Ward, Lock, and Company, who had distributed the shorter, more inflammatory, magazine version in England the previous year, published the revised version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only novel written by Wilde. It exists in several versions: the 1890 magazine edition (in 13 chapters), with important material deleted before publication by the magazine's editor, J. M. Stoddart; the "uncensored" version submitted to Lippincott's Monthly Magazine for publication (also in 13 chapters), with all of Wilde's original material intact, first published in 2011 by Harvard University Press; and the 1891 book edition (in 20 chapters). As literature of the 19th century, The Picture of Dorian Gray "pivots on a gothic plot device" with strong themes interpreted from Faust. Summary: Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mood in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic world view: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and records every sin. #ThePictureofDorianGray #OscarWilde #TheFreeAudiobooks #Audiobook #Audiobooks #Stories #Story --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefreeaudiobooks/message
