El gran filósofo griego Sócrates ha pasado a la historia como uno de los pensadores más importantes de la humanidad, y, debido a que no llegó a dominar la escritura, la gran mayoría de sus enseñanzas fueron transmitidas por su discípulo Platón.

Platão é considerado um dos nomes mais importantes para a compreensão do pensamento filosófico no Ocidente. Ele foi aluno de Sócrates, de quem registrou as ideias, e professor de Aristóteles–apesar das divergências que posteriormente os separaram. Um de seus legados mais importantes é a concepção do mundo das ideias em contraposição ao mundo dos sentidos. Para explicar essa teoria, o filósofo grego formulou a “alegoria da caverna”, que revolucionou para sempre a nossa forma de interpretar a realidade.

Aristóteles é considerado o primeiro cientista da humanidade e uma das mentalidades mais geniais de todos os tempos. Inventor da lógica e fundador da escola filosófica Liceu, foi aluno de Platão, mas não seu seguidor. Com isso, formulou sua própria filosofia e foi responsável por expandir a compreensão de disciplinas diversas, como biologia, ética, astronomia, retórica e política. A Coleção Saberes chega com o propósito de apresentar ideias e teorias de uma forma organizada, sintetizada e dinâmica.

Con este libro comienza la aventura de la filosofía y también comienza nuestra serie de publicaciones sobre la filosofía. Incluso decidir el orden es una decisión filosófica, y la Apología es el preludio perfecto.

Wie kann ich ein guter Mensch werden und mein Leben im Streben nach der "Eudaimonia", der Glückseligkeit, führen? In seiner weltberühmten ethischen Schrift entwirft der Universalgelehrte Aristoteles eine gesamte Philosophie für eine gelungene Lebensführung.

Zufällig trifft Sokrates einen Freund auf der Straße. Ein Gespräch entspinnt sich, in dem Sokrates von seiner Begegnung mit dem weithin bekannten Sophisten Protagoras erzählt. So kurz der Handlungsrahmen wiederzugeben ist, so inhaltsreich das, was Platon in diesem frühen Dialog seinen Lesern zu bieten hat. Im Protagoras lässt Platon Sokrates sich erstmalig mit den Sophisten streiten. Überdeutlich tritt zutage, wo zwischen sokratischer Dialektik und sophistischem Denksport die Unterschiede liegen.

The Greek word sumposion means a drinking party (a fact shamefully ignored by the organizers of modern symposia), and the party described in Plato's Symposium is one supposedly given in the year 416 BC by the playwright Agathon to celebrate his victory in the dramatic festival of the Lenaea. He has already given one party, the previous evening; this second party is for a select group of friends, and host and guests alike are feeling a little frail.

Der Ion zählt zum Frühwerk Platons. In dem kurzweiligen Dialog kommt es zu einem Gespräch zwischen Sokrates und dem in Athen zu Besuch weilenden weithin bekannten Rhapsoden Ion von Ephesos. Das Thema zwischen dem ironischen Philosophen und dem hochmütigen Sänger ist schnell gefunden: Zuallererst geht es um die Frage, worauf die Kompetenz eines Rhapsoden eigentlich beruhe.

Letters from a Stoic is one of the essential works of Roman Stoic philosophy, offering a series of moral reflections on virtue, discipline, friendship, time, grief, mortality, wealth, simplicity, and the art of living well. Written as letters addressed to Lucilius, these meditations combine practical advice with deep philosophical insight, showing how reason, self-command, and inner freedom can help a person face uncertainty, loss, desire, and fear.

À l'heure où les recettes miracle promettent bonheur, réussite et sérénité en dix étapes, Oscar Brenifier renverse la table. Plutôt que d'ajouter un énième manuel de « meilleure version de soi-même » au rayon bien-être, il convoque Socrate, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Spinoza et d'autres esprits turbulents pour dynamiter les certitudes modernes. L'auteur montre comment la philosophie – la vraie, celle qui dérange, bouscule et force à penser – s'oppose frontalement aux illusions du coaching express.

When it appeared in 1670, Baruch Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise was denounced as the most dangerous book ever published. In A Book Forged in Hell, Steven Nadler tells the fascinating story of this extraordinary book: its radical claims and their background in the philosophical, religious, and political tensions of the Dutch Golden Age, as well as the vitriolic reaction these ideas inspired.

In times of peace, the women of the ancient Mediterranean had few chances to exercise leadership. But when failures of men’s leadership set off crises, many women, then as now, stepped up to lead and defend their communities. In How to Lead When Men Fail, Mallory Monaco Caterine presents a...
