„Die Lüge ist wahrer als die Wahrheit, weil die Wahrheit so verlogen ist“. Mit diesem Zitat des österreichischen Künstlers André Heller eröffnete der Philosoph und Journalist Martin Koch den zweiten Abend der Reihe HOHE LUFT live in der modern life school in Hamburg. Gemeinsam mit HOHE-LUFT-Chefredakteur Thomas Vašek diskutierte Koch, ob man eigentlich lügen darf und welche moralischen Probleme sich im Zusammenhang mit dem Lügen ergeben können.

Schnell verständigten sich die Philosophen darauf, dass die Lüge die Kenntnis der Wahrheit voraussetzt – und damit eine gewisse Raffinesse erfordert. Der Lügner habe demzufolge, so Thomas Vašek, durchaus ein Interesse an der Wahrheit, allerdings eines perverser Natur.Unter aktivem Zutun des Publikums wurden grundlegende Fragen aufgeworfen und diskutiert: Wieso ist das Lügen ein so weit verbreitetes Handlungsmuster? Müssen wir lügen dürfen, damit unser Zusammenleben funktioniert? Gehört das Lügen nicht irgendwie zum Mensch-Sein dazu? Und sind manche Lügen besser als andere? Einige plädierten dafür, zwischen ‚harmlosen‘ und ‚gravierenden‘ Lügen zu unterscheiden. Ist es denn wirklich so schlimm, wenn zum Beispiel ein Kompliment nicht exakt den Tatsachen entspricht? Immanuel Kant würde spätestens jetzt laut aufschreien! Denn er hielt Wahrhaftigkeit für eine Pflicht, von der es keine Ausnahmen gibt. Das moralische Gesetz nach Kant gebietet die Wahrheit zu sagen – und dies immer und überall. Selbst wenn ein Mörder nach dem Aufenthaltsort seines nächsten Opfers fragt, dürfte man ihn also nicht anlügen. Das ist eine so radikale Position, dass man Kant laut Thomas Vašek durchaus als „Taliban der Moralphilosophie“ bezeichnen könnte.

Tatsächlich kann wohl niemand eine so hoch gesteckte Moralvorstellung jemals erfüllen. Wer würde beispielsweise offen vor seinem Arbeitgeber zugeben, nicht viel von ihm zu halten?! Nach Kant müsste man das jedoch. Neben den deontologischen – also von einer allgemeinen Regel abgeleiteten – Argumenten wurden auch utilitaristische Ansätze diskutiert. Diese zielten darauf ab, mögliche Folgen des Lügens abzuwägen und so jede einzelne Lüge aufgrund ihrer zu erwartenden Konsequenzen zu bewerten. Aber was genau sind die Folgen vom Lügen? Und wer kann sie schon mit kompletter Sicherheit vorausahnen? Thomas Vašek plädierte daher für eine andere Argumentation gegen die Lüge: Eine Lüge beraubt den Belogenen nämlich immer seiner Autonomie und nimmt ihm so die Freiheit, auf die eigentliche Wahrheit angemessen zu reagieren. Und wer das Lügen dennoch nicht lassen kann, soll doch zumindest mit ‚Grandezza‘ lügen, bittet Martin Koch.

Nach rund zwei Stunden hitzigen Diskutierens, vielen witzigen Einwürfen und zahlreichen Denkanstößen ging der zweite HOHE LUFT live-Abend in der modern life school zu Ende. Bei einer Flasche Elbler (und gestärkt durch eine Schüssel Chili con Carne) konnte auch noch nach Ende des offiziellen Veranstaltungsteils privat mit Thomas Vašek und Martin Koch philosophiert werden.

Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. André Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion.

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Turning for Home by Barney Norris, read by Eleanor Wyld, Paul Hickey and Timothy West.

'Isn’t the life of any person made up out of the telling of two tales, after all? People live in the space between the realities of their lives and the hopes they have for them. The whole world makes more sense if you remember that everyone has two lives, their real lives and their dreams, both stories only a tape’s breadth apart from each other, impossibly divided, indivisibly close.'

Every year, Robert's family come together at a rambling old house to celebrate his birthday. Aunts, uncles, distant cousins - it has been a milestone in their lives for decades. But this year Robert doesn't want to be reminded of what has happened since they last met - and neither, for quite different reasons, does his granddaughter Kate. Neither of them is sure they can face the party. But for both Robert and Kate, it may become the most important gathering of all.

As lyrical and true to life as Norris's critically acclaimed debut Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain, which won a Betty Trask Award and was shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize and Debut of the Year at the British Book Awards, this is a compelling, emotional story of family, human frailty, and the marks that love leaves on us.

MARK TWAIN Audiobook Excerpt

The history of technology you probably know is one of men and machines, garages and riches, alpha nerds and brogrammers. But the little-known fact is that female visionaries have always been at the vanguard of technology and innovation--they've just been erased from the story. Until now. Women are not ancillary to the history of technology; they turn up at the very beginning of every important wave. But they've often been hidden in plain sight, their inventions and contributions touching our lives in ways we don't even realize. VICE reporter and YACHT lead singer Claire L. Evans finally gives these unsung female heroes their due with her insightful social history of the Broad Band, the women who made the internet what it is today. Learn from Ada Lovelace, the tortured, imaginative daughter of Lord Byron, who wove numbers into the first program for a mechanical computer in 1842. Seek inspiration from Grace Hopper, the tenacious mathematician who democratized computing by leading the charge for machine-independent programming languages after World War II. Meet Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, the one-woman Google who kept the earliest version of the Internet online, and Stacy Horn, who ran one of the first-ever social networks on a shoestring out of her New York City apartment in the 1980s. Evans shows us how these women built and colored the technologies we can't imagine life without. Join the ranks of the pioneers who defied social convention and the longest odds to become database poets, information-wranglers, hypertext dreamers, and glass ceiling-shattering dot com-era entrepreneurs. This inspiring call to action is a revelation: women have embraced technology from the start. It shines a light on the bright minds whom history forgot, and shows us how they will continue to shape our world in ways we can no longer ignore. Welcome to the Broad Band. You're next.

Broad Band by Claire L. Evans, read by Claire L. Evans

Our "shadow" side comes to the surface in relationships more than anywhere else. The good news is that when we recognize and understand that we can work with our tendency to project our shadow onto those with whom we're in relationship, we can release ourselves from the habit to hurt or control one another, and we can tame our retaliatory impulses. Using Buddhist-inspired mindfulness techniques and practices for cultivating loving-kindness, David Richo shows us how we can become skilled at noticing our projections onto others and we can learn to withdraw them. We can grow from that process, discovering the wisdom of our shadow side that is hidden even to ourselves. By befriending and embracing the shadow, we can discover the gifts we might not otherwise have dared to recognize or share.

Adjoa Andoh explains the folklore that lies behind Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys for the brand-new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of his best-selling and much-loved novel.

When his father dies, Fat Charlie Nancy discovers that not only was the late Mr Nancy actually the god Anansi, but he also has a long-lost brother, Spider, who is everything Fat Charlie is not. When Spider begins to take over Fat Charlie's life, his flat and even his fiancée, Rosie, Fat Charlie is forced to make a pact that lands him in trouble with the gods themselves....

Anansi Boys is a story of love, laughter, music and murder, old gods and new tricks that takes Fat Charlie from his home in South London to Florida, the Caribbean, and the very Beginning of the World itself. Or the End of the World. Depending on which direction you're coming from.

Jacob Anderson stars as Charlie, and he has written and performed a specially commissioned song - 'Charlie's Song' - which forms part of the magical fabric of Anansi Boys.

Dramatised for Radio 4 by the award-winning Dirk Maggs (Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), the stellar cast of this series also includes Joseph Marcell, Lenny Henry, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Angela Wynter, Josiah Choto, Adjoa Andoh, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Ariyon Bakare, Earl Cameron, Ronke Adekoluejo, Sheila Atim and Pippa Bennett-Warner, as well as a cameo appearance from Neil Gaiman himself.

'I have written a blasphemous book', said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, 'and I feel as spotless as the lamb'. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible - and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child - or perhaps its immaculate conception - the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville's magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.
