The Discourses of Epictetus is a series of informal lectures by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, compiled by his pupil Arrian. The Stoic emphasis on endurance, self-restraint, and the power of the will to withstand calamity could often appear cold and inhuman. Epictetus, however, offers the most humane interpretation of Stoic ideals by using humor, imaginary conversations, and homely comparisons to put his message across.

To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control, and we should calmly accept whatever happens. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through self-discipline.

We have selected for you 100 best quotes by Cicero. Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman politician and lawyer, who served as consul in the year 63 BC.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) had a profound influence on the shape of 19th-century thought and political discourse. His view of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to the unrestricted state. Mill favoured decentralised forms of socialism because he thought that a centralised model would discourage competition, neglect talent, and disregard freedom.

Written in Greek by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. While the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers throughout the centuries.

Laches und Euthyphron. Die beiden Dialoge Laches und Euthyphron zählen zu den sogenannten Tugenddialogen im platonischen Werk. Im Laches kommen während eines Schaukampfes fünf Männer zu einer Diskussion zusammen, darunter auch Sokrates. Es entspinnt sich eine lebhafte Diskussion über die Frage, was das Wesen der Tapferkeit sei. Mit Nikias und Laches ergreifen zwei erprobte Krieger und Feldherren das Wort, kommen aber zu sehr unterschiedlichen Ansichten.

The Symposium is a Socratic dialogue by Plato, dated c. 385 – 370 BC. It depicts a friendly contest of extemporaneous speeches given by a group of notable Athenian men attending a banquet. The men include the philosopher Socrates, the general and statesman Alcibiades, and the comic playwright Aristophanes. The panegyrics are to be given in praise of Eros, the god of love and sex. In the Symposium, Eros is recognized both as erotic lover and as a phenomenon capable of inspiring courage, valor, great deeds and works, and vanquishing man's natural fear of death.

"Держава" — діалог Платона, присвячений проблемі ідеальної держави. Він був створений у 360 р. до н.е. На думку Платона, держава є втіленням ідеї справедливості. В діалогові вперше чітко вказані філософи як люди, здатні осягнути те, що завжди тотожне самому собі. Діалог містить систематику й короткий критичний аналіз різновидів державного устрою (ідеальна «держава майбутнього», котра поки не існує, до нього не входить), розташованих Платоном за мірилом поступової деградації, що має вигляд еволюції в часі, але незворотність такої еволюції прямо не стверджується.

A leading thinker of the Stoic school of philosophy, Epictetus (A.D. 55-135) was a renowned teacher whose students transcribed and compiled his teachings; this collection presents the work of Arrian, a Greek philosopher and historian who was a disciple of Epictetus. In these two brief but highly influential works, Epictetus demonstrates that philosophy is more than a theoretical discipline; it is a way of life based on logic, reason, and self-reflection.

Although he was born into slavery and endured a permanent physical disability, Epictetus (ca. 50-ca. 130 CE) maintained that all people are free to control their lives and live in harmony with nature. We will always be happy, he argued, if we learn to desire that things should be exactly as they are. After attaining his freedom, Epictetus spent his career teaching philosophy and advising a daily regimen of self-examination.

Pensées pour moi-même, l'empereur philosophe Marc Aurèle nous livre un témoignage intime et intemporel sur la condition humaine, le devoir, la souffrance, la mort, et la vertu. Rédigées pour lui-même, ces réflexions stoïciennes n’étaient pas destinées à la publication, ce qui leur confère une sincérité brute et touchante. Ce chef-d'œuvre de la philosophie antique devient alors un guide profond pour quiconque cherche à vivre avec sagesse, force intérieure, et sérénité face aux épreuves de l’existence.

Spinoza passe pour un philosophe difficile à comprendre. Son système, pourtant, est extrêmement simple : tout découle de la parfaite nécessité de Dieu. Encore faut-il entendre le mot « Dieu » dans le sens donné par Spinoza : non un Dieu personnel, mais un principe d'unité pour toute la nature. Par le nombre de concepts qu'il aborde et la clarté de ses explications, ce livre propose une synthèse exigeante et accessible de son œuvre.

Lorsque l'on évoque René Descartes, viennent spontanément à l'esprit l'adjectif « cartésien » et la formule « Je pense, donc je suis ». Réduite à une exaltation de la seule raison, sa pensée est pourtant souvent simplifiée à l'excès. Cet ouvrage propose de dépasser ces lectures convenues en restituant la richesse et la complexité de son œuvre, où la méthode s'articule étroitement avec l'intuition et l'expérience du doute.
