    Martin Luther auf dem Reichstag zu Worms
    Martin Luthers Widerrufverweigerung am 18. April 1521 auf dem Reichstag zu Worms zählt zu den Sternstunden der Reformation. Vor Kaiser und Reich bekannte sich Luther zu seinen theologischen Schriften. Was er geschrieben habe, könne er nicht widerrufen, wenn er nicht durch »Zeugnisse der Schrift oder klare Vernunftgründe« überwunden würde. Ansonsten fühlte er sich gebunden an sein im Wort Gottes gefangenes Gewissen.Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich zum einen diesem Ereignis selbst in seinem historischen Kontext. Zum anderen werden die Wirkungen von Luthers Auftritt in Worms behandelt: in der zeitgenössischen Publizistik, in bildlichen Darstellungen durch die Jahrhunderte und später im Film, in der protestantischen Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte, in Lutherfestspielen und in Feiern zu Reichstagsjubiläen seit dem 19. Jahrhundert.[Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms. Event and Reception]Martin Luther's refusal to recant on 18 April 1521 at the Diet of Worms is one of the great momentsof the Reformation. Luther confessed his theological writings before the emperor and the empire. What he had written he could not revoke unless he was overcome »by testimonies of Scripture or clear reasons of reason«. Otherwise, he felt bound by his conscience imprisoned in the Word of God.The contributions in this volume are devoted on the one hand to this event itself in its historical context. On the other hand, the effects of Luther's appearance in Worms are dealt with: in contemporary pamphlets and Luther fables, in pictorial representations through the centuries and later in film, in Protestant intellectual and cultural history, in Luther festivals and in celebrations of Diet anniversaries since the 19th century.

    Kirinyaga: A Fable of Utopia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
    Hailed for his grandeur of imagination and superb worldbuilding, winner of and nominee for more than 50 awards for his outstanding work, Mike Resnick has rightfully won a place as one of science fiction's master storytellers. Now, in Kirinyaga, Resnick presents the haunting and utterly compelling tale of one man's utopia. By the 22nd century in the African nation of Kenya, polluted cities sprawl up the flanks of sacred Mount Kirinyaga. Great animal herds are but distant memories. European crops now grow on the sweeping savannas. But Koriba, a distinguished, educated man of Kikuyu ancestry, knows that life was different for his people centuries ago - and he is determined to build a utopian colony, not on Earth, but on the terraformed planetoid he proudly names Kirinyaga. As the mundumugu - witch doctor - Koriba leads the colonists. Reinstating the ancient customs and stringent laws of the Kikuyu people, he alone decides their fate. He must face many challenges to the struggling colony's survival: from a brilliant young girl whose radiant intellect could threaten their traditional ways, to the interference of "Maintenance", which holds the power to revoke the colony's charter. All the while, only Koriba - unbeknownst to his people - maintains the computer link to the rest of humanity. Ironically, the Kirinyaga experiment threatens to collapse - not from violence or greed - but from humankind's insatiable desire for knowledge. The Kikuyu people can no more stand still in time than their planet can stop revolving around its sun. Deeply moving, swiftly paced, and profound in its implications, Kirinyaga is Mike Resnick's most triumphant work to date. His Fable of Utopia is the book every listener will want to own and savor for years to come. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Janis Ian.

    Amerita , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    Year 2051 - World War III left America in dystopian economic ruin. Support for the Democrat and Republican parties has dwindled, and the Meritism Party has gained unwavering support from 70 percent of the populace. Currency has been replaced with Personal Merit. The goods and services citizens are allowed to possess are dependent on their objectively calculated productivity within the society. Careers that do not contribute to food, shelter, clothing, sanitation, education, health care, technology, art, or sport have been abolished. These abolished professions include investment banking, marketing and advertising, career politicians, and many others that were dependent on capitalism. Luke Medina, a Merit Agency Investigator, fights to uphold all that Meritism has accomplished. The Capitalist Party desperately conspires to bring back class divisions and a society of economic inequality based on a fiat currency. #amerita #meritism For the working class, Amerita represents a new utopia. For others, Amerita is a dystopian nightmare. Meritism manifesto: We, the working women and men of our beautiful and plentiful land, declare in one voice to revoke all credence to economical systems based on subjective monetary representations of individual Merit. We, the contributors of food, shelter, clothing, sanitation, education, health care, technology, art, and sport declare our vocations as necessary for advancing society. Vocations that do not contribute to the advancing of society are deemed not worthy of recognition. We, the laborers, believe the productivity of every valid vocation is objectively and accurately measurable. We, the mentors and parents of future generations, believe in equal education, equal nutrition, equal health care, and equal opportunity for all. We, the people of the new Meritocracy, declare objective recognition of Merit for all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathleen A McLean.

    Stoic Philosophy: Ancient Wisdom for Self-Control, Perseverance, and Tranquility of Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
    If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. (Marcus Aurelius, Meditations) If you're into self-help and personal development, you've most likely come across the terms stoicism and stoic philosophy a lot these days. Unlike a fancy-sounding pop psychology trend or personal development quick fix, stoicism is a powerful ancient Greek philosophy concept. It was first introduced by Greek philosopher Zeno of Citium (as far back as 300 BC) as a modification of cynicism which talks about self-control, restraint, and fortitude for combating destructive/harmful emotions. Stoicism in principle doesn't call for completely demolishing emotions, but restructuring them through asceticism (abstinence from pleasures of the world) which eventually leads the individual to attain clearer judgment, a strong sense of inner calmness and liberation from suffering/misery. The ultimate goal of stoicism is freeing your life from suffering. That is what is book is all about. In book one of this two-part series you will learn all things regarding stoicism, including: Philosophy of the mind Pneuma and scala naturae Stoicism and the soul Stoic logic and the mind Stoicism vs. Epicureanism Stoicism and cynicism The history of stoicism The essential ethics of stoicism How you can apply stoic philosophy to your life And much more! "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself." (Meditations) ungekürzt.

    An agent broken. MI6 agent Damon Knight prided himself on always being in control. His missions were executed with cold, calculating precision. His club, The Garden, was run with an equally ordered and detached decadence. But his perfect world was shattered by one bullet, fired from the gun of his former partner. That betrayal almost cost him his life and ruined his career. His handlers want him to retire, threatening to revoke his license to kill if he doesn't drop his obsession with a shadowy organization called The Collective. To earn their trust, he has to prove himself on a unique assignment with an equally unusual partner. A woman tempted. Penelope Cash has spent her whole life wanting more. More passion. More adventure. But duty has forced her to live a quiet life. Her only excitement is watching the agents of MI6 as they save England and the world. Despite her training, she's only an analyst. The closest she is allowed to danger and intrigue is in her dreams, which are often filled with one Damon Knight. But everything changes when the woman assigned to pose as Damon's submissive on his latest mission is incapacitated. Penny is suddenly faced with a decision. Stay in her safe little world or risk her life, and her heart, for Queen and country. An enemy revealed. With the McKay-Taggart team at their side, Damon and Penny hunt an international terrorist across the great cities of Northern Europe.
