One does not magically morph into a \"hero\" as a result of circumstance: the just-in-time rescue, rising up in the midst of a crisis, or even leading others out of a catastrophe. Becoming a hero is more than even these courageous acts. It requires deep insight-the type of philosophical investigation that the greatest minds throughout history have pondered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith his book series \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Heroes\u003c\/i\u003e, Clemens Lode bridges the gap between coding, science, philosophy, and, ultimately, leadership.

He takes the reader through a series of explorations-beginning with the foundations of knowledge and leading to \u003ci\u003eepos\u003c\/i\u003e, how our own lives can become stories of heroism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClemens Lode is the founder LODE Publishing, established to create a blueprint for heroes. His goal is to do this by providing a foundation in classical philosophy and modern science. His dream is to create a better world by teaching people what it means to be a hero---and how to become a hero in real life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClemens received his Masters in computer science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. After focusing his studies on nature-inspired optimization, and his professional career on large-scale health-care server applications, he moved on to optimizing businesses and, ultimately, helping improve individual lives. Before creating LODE Publishing, he founded a company dedicated to bringing the power of nature to computers. Its most successful product was a program that used evolutionary algorithms to optimize game strategies---a task Google recently took up for its development of artificial intelligence. Clemens currently works as a business IT consultant, analyzing organization structure, team psychology, and helping with IT processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 16, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42718544199743,"sku":"9783945586211","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/f3e7829be2df28320f9c03995538ec93.webp?v=1765082348","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/philosophy-for-heroes-part-i-knowledge-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
