    Shan Shui: Designing Your Inner Landscape - Rick T. Fu

    Listen to full audiobooks for free : https://hotaudiobook.com/free TITLE Shan Shui: Designing Your Inner LandscapeSUBTITLE How Chinese Mountain–Water Aesthetics Can Help You Cultivate Peace, Creativity, and HarmonyAUTHOR Rick T. FuNARRATOR Tegan JohnsonLANGUAGE EnglishRELEASE DATE 10-23-2025PUBLISHER Rick T. FuCATEGORIES Art, Eastern Philosophy, Personal Development, PhilosophySUMMARYWhat if your life wasn’t a race to the finish line—but a painting in progress? What if every day could feel more like wandering through a mountain path, resting by a flowing river, or breathing beneath an open sky? In Shan Shui: Designing Your Inner Landscape, author Rick T. Fu introduces listeners to the ancient Chinese art of shan shui (山水—literally “mountain-water”) and shows how it offers a timeless blueprint for modern life. For centuries, Shan Shui was more than painting. It was philosophy in ink, poetry in brushstrokes, and an invitation to wander through imagined landscapes that reflected harmony between humans and nature. Today, in a world of speed, stress, and noise, its wisdom feels more urgent than ever. This isn’t a history book, nor an art manual. It’s a practical guide to living with balance—using Shan Shui’s principles of mountain (stability), water (adaptability), and emptiness (space to breathe) to reshape the way you see yourself, your environment, and your challenges. You’ll learn to design not only your surroundings but also your inner terrain, so that calm, creativity, and clarity become part of your everyday life. Inside, you’ll discover how mountains, water, and sky mirror your own needs for grounding, flow, and rest. You’ll explore the idea of borrowed scenery, a Shan Shui principle that expands your horizons by bringing beauty into your daily environment. You’ll practice wandering without leaving—the art of woyou, showing how imagination can refresh you even when you’re stuck in routine. You’ll see how Shan Shui poetry, like brushstrokes, can open new perspectives in your mind. You’ll learn practical design tips for shaping your home, workspace, and even digital devices with balance and simplicity. And you’ll find ways to apply the principles of mountain, water, and sky in moments of stress, loss, or upheaval, so you remain steady no matter what life brings.

    The World, the Text, and the Critic - Edward W. Said

    Listen to full audiobooks for free : https://hotaudiobook.com/free TITLE The World, the Text, and the CriticAUTHOR Edward W. SaidNARRATOR Peter GanimLANGUAGE EnglishRELEASE DATE 10-21-2025PUBLISHER Random House AudioCATEGORIES Art, PhilosophySUMMARYA sweeping and intellectually rigorous work of literary criticism that moves the field forward, from one of the preeminent public scholars “[Said’s] book is relaxed and discursive, original, immensely learned, fluently written.”―John Bayley, The New York Times Book Review Edward W. Said, author of Beginnings and the controversial yet seminal Orientalism, is one of the most acclaimed public intellectuals of our time. In this sweeping and rigorous work of literary criticism, he pushes the field even further forward. Moving from Derrida to Foucault, from Marxism to psychoanalysis, and from Swift to Conrad, Said argues that the dogmas of the dominant culture have crippled our engagement with literature, forcing a text to meet the requirements of theory while ignoring the tethers that bind it to the living world. Provocatively, Said advocates for freedom of consciousness and for responsiveness to history; to the exigencies of the text; to political, social, and human values; and to the heterogeneity of human experience. The World, the Text, and the Critic asks daring questions, investigates problems of urgent significance, and gives a subtle yet powerful new meaning to the enterprise of criticism in modern society.

    Listen to full audiobooks for free : https://hotaudiobook.com/free TITLE Understanding Western Art: Stories, Styles, and MasterworksAUTHOR Noah CharneyNARRATOR Noah CharneyLANGUAGE EnglishRELEASE DATE 10-17-2025PUBLISHER The Great CoursesCATEGORIES ArtSUMMARYWestern art, with its lineage from the ancient world to the present, has given us works of genius by the likes of Phidias, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Monet, Van Gogh, and many more. In the 25 engrossing lectures of Understanding Western Art: Stories, Styles, and Masterworks, you’ll explore the larger themes, principles, and expressive currents that tell the story of Western art, and which shed light on its deeper meanings. As you explore this expansive tradition, you’ll delve into elements of the artist’s world such as: · The Magic and Brilliance of Color. Relive the story of color in Western art and see the resplendent use of color in different eras, from Medieval manuscripts to the visions of Wassily Kandinsky. · Perspective and Illusion. Travel into the artist’s means of recreating the 3D world in two dimensions; witness the creative use of perspective by major artists such as Holbein and Cézanne. · Genres of Art. Take a penetrating look at the history of artistic genres, from statuary to still life, in glorious works by Bernini, Raphael, Caravaggio, Velázquez, and many others. · Symbols and Symbolism. Decode the visual symbols used by artists. See how symbols flowered in Christian art, which you’ll find in magnificent church decoration in Ravenna and Chartres. · Modernism and Abstract Art. Take note of the social upheavals and changing times that gave birth to Modernism and abstraction in the early 20th century, in figures such as Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock. Throughout the course, you’ll explore many artists and traditions, as well as investigate many of the human and social factors that played key roles in the development of Western art, including the history of women in art, the driving force of artistic competition, and the crucial influence of religion and philosophy. In Understanding Western Art: Stories, Styles, and Masterworks, you’ll travel deeply into the underlying elements of Western art, enriching your appreciation of these wonders of the human imagination.

    KI, Kunst und Kitsch - Dorothea Winter

    Hören Sie sich volle Hörbuch kostenlos : https://hotaudiobook.com/free TITEL KI, Kunst und KitschUNTERTITLE Ein philosophischer AufregerAUTOR Dorothea WinterGESPROCHEN VON Anna LangSPRACHE DeutschERSCHEINUNGSDATUM 10-17-2025ANBIETER Dorothea WinterKATEGORIEN Art, Computer Science, Politics, TechnologyZUSAMMENFASSUNG In diesem sehr lesenswerten Buch schlägt Dorothea Winter den großen Bogen vom geschichtlichen Wandel des Kunstbegriffes bis hin zu konkreten Vorschlägen, wie die Möglichkeiten heutiger KI zu einer Demokratisierung von Kunst(schaffen) führen könnten. Lässt sich eine weitere Kränkung der Menschen noch abwenden? Lesen Sie selbst!" Dr. Aljoscha Burchardt, Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz, Berlin. Wer heute abwartet, kommt morgen zu spät. Kunst galt lange als letzte Bastion des Menschlichen gegenüber Künstlicher Intelligenz. Seit KI-generierte Bilder für Millionen US-Dollar versteigert und Dichterpreise an ChatGPT vergeben werden, stellt sich die Frage: Müssen wir uns auch auf dem Feld der Kreativität geschlagen geben? Und selbst wenn sie nicht als Kunst durchgehen, haben KI-"Werke" doch Einfluss auf Kultur, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft – die Manipulation von Kaufentscheidungen ist da nur eine Gefahr. Am Beispiel Kunst lotet Dorothea Winter aus, was wir vom KI-Einsatz erwarten dürfen – und müssen. Entlang der Fragen "Was ist KI?" und "Was ist Kunst?" entwickelt sie belastbare Kriterien, um die Auswirkungen von Künstlicher Intelligenz zu identifizieren und einzuschätzen. Der Essay bietet damit eine stabile Grundlage, um in den Diskurs einzusteigen und Position zu beziehen. Die Autorin: Dorothea Winter, Promotionsstudium Philosophie an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im Bereich Angewandte Ethik an der Humanistischen Hochschule Berlin und persönliche Referentin des Rektors; selbstständige Keynote-Speakerin, Panelistin und Autorin.Die Printausgabe erschien 2024 im Carl-Auer Verlag. Please Note: This audiobook is in German.
