[German] - Abenteuer! Maja Nielsen erzählt. Pioniere der Lüfte: Der Traum vom Fliegen
"Frei zu fliegen wie ein Vogel war noch vor 100 Jahren ein Traum, den Männer wie Wilbur und Orville Wright zu verwirklichen versuchten. Ganz im Geheimen führten sie tollkühne Flugversuche durch und setzen alles daran, sich mit ihren Erfindungen am Himmel zu halten. Und eines Tages gelingt das Kunststück: Ihr 'Flyer' bleibt in der Luft! Die Geschichte der Brüder Wright und anderer berühmter Konstrukteure und Piloten wird von Maja Nielsen mitreißend und spannend zu Gehör gebracht. Mit Bertrand Piccard stellt die Autorin einen aktuellen Abenteurer vor, der mit seinem Solarflugzeug die moderne Luftfahrt revolutionieren will. 'Pioniere der Lüfte' ist ein spannendes Abenteuer-Feature mit vielen Sprechern, Musik und Geräuschen. Das gleichnamige Buch ist im Gerstenberg Verlag erschienen."

[German] - Tugenden - Die Meisterschaft des Lebens (Livemitschnitt): Teil 2: Tapferkeit
"Für die alte Philosophie war es eine Selbstverständlichkeit: Wer gut leben will, muss Tugenden ausprägen. Tugenden verstanden die antiken griechischen Denker (allen voran Platon) als Bestheit. Entsprechend seiner Theorie der Seele, unterschied Platon vier zentrale Tugenden des Lebens: Das Maßhalten oder die Besonnenheit als Tugend unserer Triebe , die Tapferkeit als Tugend der Affekte, die Weisheit als die Tugend unseres Geistes und die Gerechtigkeit als Tugend unserer Seele. Wie wir auf optimale Weise leben können, erschließt sich einem Weisen, der diese Kardinaltugenden verinnerlicht hat. Sie sind Wegweisung und Herausforderung in einem. Ihnen zu genügen heißt zu werden, das Beste aus sich herauszuholen. Der Philosoph und Autor Christoph Quarch erläutert, warum wir uns in unseren Wertediskussionen wieder an die Tugenden erinnern sollten. Was Tugenden sind und was Werte sind, trägt er differenziert und leicht verständlich vor. Die Tugend der Tapferkeit ist der zweite Vortragsmitschnitt den Sie hier hören können."
