The Black Swan
THE BLACK SWAN is a concept that will change the way you look at the world. Black Swans underlie almost everything, from the rise of religions, to events in our own lives. A Black Swan is a highly improbable event with three principle characteristics: it is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random and more predictable than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. Why do we always ignore the phenomenon of Black Swans until after they occur? As Taleb reveals, we are hard-wired not to truly estimate risk, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the 'impossible'. In this revelatory book, Taleb explains everything we know about what we don't know, and shows us how to face the world.

The Naked Neanderthal
With the style of a poet and imagination of a philosopher, Ludovic Slimak probes the minds of Neanderthals, our closest cousins. All too often Neanderthals are envisioned as either prehistoric brutes or full humans, but Slimak argues that they were something unique, a species that developed their own forms of consciousness and intelligence. In an age of artificial intelligence, this fun and provocative book is a reminder that we still have a lot to learn about biological intelligence

Vom Kochen und Töten
Der Philosoph Leon Joskowitz entfaltet in diesem Buch eine einfache Idee: Das Kochen hat uns zu Menschen gemacht. Das Kochen und die Küche sind nicht zum Menschen hinzugekommen wie das Rad, die Schrift oder andere Techniken. Im Gegenteil sind die Zubereitung von Nahrung und das Leben am Feuer sowohl die Voraussetzung als auch die grundlegenden Elemente von menschlicher Kultur. Wir sind Teil einer kulinarischen Lebensform. Die ältesten Spuren kochender Menschen sind rund 800 000 Jahre alt und somit viel älter als der Homo sapiens. Am Feuer haben Menschen gelernt, ihre Nahrung zu teilen und einander Geschichten zu erzählen. Nicht zuletzt ihre eigene: die Geschichte eines sprechenden Tieres, das sich von allen anderen Tieren unterscheidet.
