Afgeleid

Have, Ten, 2014. Paperback. Pp: 240. In 'Afgeleid' behandelt de Australische publieksfilosoof Damon Young een voor iedereen zeer herkenbaar "probleem". Voortdurend worden we afgeleid - iedereen kent dat gevoel. Niet alleen door e-mails en social media, maar ook door mooiere banen, mannen of vrouwen dan de onze. In 'Afgeleid' betoogt Damon Young dat dit meer is dan een kwestie van te veel prikkels. Het is een kwestie van waarden. Hoe we ons beter kunnen focussen op wat er echt toe doet, laat Young zien aan de hand van grote geesten als Henri Matisse, Karl Marx en Seneca. In prachtig proza schetst hij zo een perspectief op een vrijer leven. 'Afgeleid is helder en optimistisch.' - Financial Times 'Damon Young weet als geen ander de filosofen en schrijvers die hij bespreekt tot leven te wekken.' - 'De Morgen. ISBN: 9789025904180.

Bloedrode spoor

ECI B.V. (inzake New Book uitg). Gekartonneerd. Pp: 351. Als tijdens de geboorte van het nakomertje Emmi de moeder van de tweeling Saba en Lugh overlijdt, verliest hun vader zijn greep op de werkelijkheid. En dat maakt het leven van de tweeling in Zilvermeer, waar het bestaan sowieso hard en grimmig is, er bepaald niet plezieriger op. En dus besluit Lugh, die de vaderlijke taken overneemt, dat het tijd wordt uit Zilvermeer te vertrekken. Maar dan gebeurt het. Vanuit het stof van een wervelende zandstorm duiken vijf ruiters op die Lugh ontvoeren. Saba ontdekt dat de vijf lijfwachten van de koning zijn. Van een vriendin van haar overleden moeder verneemt ze dat er vele jaren geleden, toen de tweeling werd geboren op Midwinterdag, een vreemdeling aanwezig was die ook al veel interesse toonde voor Lugh vanwege zijn aparte geboortedag. De dappere Saba zweert bij alles wat haar lief is dat ze niet zal rusten voor ze haar broer heeft teruggevonden ø ze trekt het onbekende tegemoet, achter de mannen aan die haar geliefde broer van haar afpakten.

Brethren

Hodder & Stoughton, 2006. Paperback. Pp: 499. "1295 AD. The Christian empire in the Holy Land lies in ruins." "Returning to Paris, Templar Knight Will Campbell is at a crossroads. He has sworn to uphold the principles of the Anima Templi, a secret brotherhood within the Order whose aim is peace - but peace seems ever more impossible." "The Temple has forged an alliance with Will's enemy, King Edward of England, vowing to help him wage war on Scotland. This pact against his homeland strikes at the core of Will's faith and allegiances, while his growing estrangement from his daughter, Rose, leads her into a dangerous affair." "Will now faces a bitter choice: to stay with the Temple and fight another war he doesn't believe in, or to break his vows and forge his own path to peace, even if that too means fighting - for the Scots." "Soon caught up in bloody conflict, Will is unaware that an even more ominous threat is rising, for there is a warrior king on the throne of France whose desire for supremacy knows no bounds and who will stop at nothing to fulfil his twisted ambitions."-BOOK JACKET.

Designer Evolution. A Transhumanist Manifesto

Prometheus Books, 2006. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 417. Forewords by Dr. Aubrey de Grey (Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge) and Robert A. Freitas Jr. (Senior Research Fellow, Institute for Molecular Manufacturing) A rare and uplifting vision of the biological future we can and should create for ourselves. - Dr. Gregory Fahy, Chief Scientific Officer, Vice President, 21st Century Medicine The debate about the ethics of human biotechnology or genetic engineering is one of the most important cultural issues of our time. Transhumanism is the philosophy that most of all supports genetic science and biotechnology, yet the public knows little about this emerging philosophy. Transhumanism declares unequivocal support for the attempt to eliminate disease, defeat death, and enhance the body and mind beyond the limitations of the age-old human condition. In Designer Evolution Simon Young presents a polemical espousal of transhumanist philosophy and a trenchant attack on its critics, the Bio-Luddites. The author calls for a rejection of premodern superstition and postmodern nihilism in favor of a renewed belief in human progress through scientific rationality. In an age when cynicism, fatalism, and nihilism are rife, Designer Evolution will rekindle a feeling of optimism about the future of our species. This is a concise, reader-friendly introduction to a vitally important philosophy that will become difficult to ignore as advances in biotechnology increasingly claim the headlines in the coming decades.
