Peter V. Jones Bücher

Der Autor Peter Jones analysiert einen tiefgreifenden Wandel in der westlichen Kultur, der sich in zwei konkurrierenden Weltanschauungen manifestiert: "Oneism" (Einsheit) und "Twoism" (Zweiheit). Er hinterfragt die grundlegenden Unterschiede im Verständnis von Realität und beleuchtet die heidnischen Wurzeln des Einheitsdenkens sowie dessen Einfluss auf die moderne Gesellschaft. Jones argumentiert, dass dieses Denken keine echte Rettung oder Verbesserung der Welt bieten kann und plädiert für ein Umdenken hin zu einer klaren Unterscheidung zwischen Schöpfung und Schöpfer.

Das Buch thematisiert die ernsten Herausforderungen der Klimakrise, die durch steigenden Energieverbrauch, Massenkonsum und Ressourcenverschwendung verstärkt werden. Peter Jones zeigt auf, dass wir unser Wirtschaftssystem hinterfragen müssen, um irreversible Schäden und Versorgungsengpässe zu vermeiden. Es ist ein Weckruf für alle.

Wie ein Paukenschlag markiert die »Ilias« den Beginn der abendländischen Literatur: als Groß-Epos, das die heute allbekannte Geschichte vom zehnjährigen Kampf um Troja erzählt, indem es doch nur die Handlung von rund 50 Tagen aus dem letzten Kriegsjahr schildert. Schon dieser erzähltechnische Kunstgriff zeigt die kompositorische Meisterleistung, durch die das Werk poetische Maßstäbe für alle Zeiten setzte – und der Name Homers zum Inbegriff des Dichters schlechthin wurde. Die Übersetzung von Roland Hampe liegt in der Versform vor.
