Audiobook: Nonfiction
Consider nonfiction audiobooks as a return to the time in your life when you absorbed a tremendous amount of information, more than you knew: when your elders taught you and when you were in school. Hearing rather than visualizing from text is a different and very effective way to learn history, biography, humor, theology, and many other topics. Professional readers, rather than lecturers, ease the process and increase the enjoyment.
Discourse on the Origin and the Foundations of Inequality Among Men
Discourse on the Origin and the Foundations of Inequality Among Men
Unabridged 5hrs. 52min.
Rousseau’s Discourse sets out to explore the origin of inequality among people, a journey that sees him trace the evolution of humans from the savage man to the foundations of civil society. With verve and passion, the philosopher argues that the birth of private property was the ‘beginning of evil’. Throughout the book we are led to consider the progress of language, reason, self-preservation, benevolence, pity and law – all through the lens of perhaps the most original thinker of the eighteenth century.
