Threnody is an archaic word which has its roots in the Greek term, which means to sing a dirge, generally at a funeral or at the loss of a cherished person. In this volume, D. Scott Smith (author of Motivational Listener) provides vision and understanding that allows for comparison between the “good old days” and the present times. The nineteenth century seems so distant and unreal, almost as if there is no connection between the people of that era and ourselves. When listening to this book, you will be surprised at how much we have in common.

As subjective individual beings, we strive to understand our place within the objective universe. The historical narrative of mankind reveals the rigidness of individual bias. By understanding the journey of ourselves, in mass, we begin to fully appreciate the confines of our own existence. To such a degree that our ancient ancestors began to unveil the quantifiable qualities of nature's most fundamental nature - revelations that operate by the rationale of introspection.

Socrates the lover. Socrates the warrior. An innovative and insightful exploration of the passionate early life of Socrates and the influences that led him to become the first and greatest of philosophers. Socrates - the man whose logic and questioning gave birth to the ideas of Western thought, and whose execution heralded the end of the Athenian Golden Age. Despite his preeminence among the great thinkers of the past, precious little of his story is known, and what is often begins and ends with his trial and death.

Julien Offray de La Mettrie, geboren 1709 in Saint-Malo und gestorben 1751 in Potsdam, war ein französischer Arzt und Philosoph. Durch seine Schrift "Der Mensch eine Maschine" wurde er zu einem wichtigen Denker des Materialismus. In seiner Schrift hebt er den Dualismus von Geist und Materie auf, polemisiert aber auch scharfsinnig all zu rationalistische Variationen der Vernunft. Dem setzt er eine die Sinnfreuden bejahende und individualistische Haltung entgegen. Nebst Verfolgung von Kirche und Zensur wurde er auch von den französischen Philosophen der Aufklärung totgeschwiegen und dann aus ihrem "Kreis der Philosophen" ausgeschlossen.

When Athenians suffered the shame of having lost a war from their own greed and foolishness, around 404 BCE the public's blame was directed at Socrates, a man whose unique appearance and behavior, as well as his disapproval of the democracy, made him a ready target. Socrates was subsequently put on trial and sentenced to death. However, as René Girard has pointed out, no individual can be held responsible for a communal crisis.

In this short book, famous Roman politician and philosopher Cicero offers a compelling guide to finding, keeping, and appreciating friends.

The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. Although it was written in 1888, its controversial content caused its publication to be delayed. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word Christ is translated. Nietzsche claimed in the foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader "...must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion."

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Lao Tzu. The text's authorship, date of composition, and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China.

The Tao Te Ching is a compilation of meditations, comprised of 81 short chapters. Each chapter reflects on the beauty and mystical nature of the Tao (the Way).

This 21st-century edition has been translated so that ancient text (originally written in classical Chinese in the fourth century BC) can be understood and enjoyed by the average listener.

Sokrates, geboren 469 v. Chr. und durch den Schierlingsbecher 399 v. Chr. hingerichtet, war ein griechischer Philosoph aus Athen und gilt als eine der Hauptgestalten des abendländischen Denkens. Er schuf die Methode der Mäeutik, "der Hebammenkunst". Durch Fragen und nicht durch Belehren des Gesprächspartners sollte dieser seine Erkenntnis selbst "gebären", selbst hervorbringen. Die Einsicht in die Fragwürdigkeit des eigenen Wissens war hierbei ein essentieller Punkt.

Hippias of Elis travels throughout the Greek world practicing and teaching the art of making beautiful speeches. On a rare visit to Athens, he meets Socrates, who questions him about the nature of his art. Socrates is especially curious about how Hippias would define beauty. They agree that beauty makes all beautiful things beautiful, but when Socrates presses him to say precisely what he means, Hippias is unable to deliver such a definition.

Fürwahr, dem Namen nach ist Erasmus weithin bekannt. Doch wer weiß schon, wie viele bedeutende Werke dieser berühmte Gelehrte aus Rotterdam verfasst hat? Wer hat sie je ganz, wer wenigstens teilweise gelesen? Das Lob der Narrheit, seine berühmte Redeübung, die zuerst anno 1511 in Paris gedruckt wurde, ist mittlerweile fünfhundert Jahre hindurch sowohl lateinisch wie auch in anderen Sprachen immer wieder neu aufgelegt worden, fehlte nie in den Buchhandlungen.

Une heure de promenade auditive dans les pas des anthropologues, en compagnie de Marie-Armelle Deguy, pour interroger nos sociétés humaines.

Quando una nave arriverà da Delo, Socrate dovrà morire. Bisogna forse sottrarsi a questo destino, come vorrebbero gli amici? Ma così verrebbe negato tutto quanto Socrate ha costruito nella sua vita, tutto il patrimonio di coerenza e dirittura morale che lo ha sempre contraddistinto e guidato. No, si deve affrontare ciò che è stato deciso secondo la legge, quella legge che è ossatura e anima dell’amata città. A chi piacerebbe una città senza leggi?

Socrate est souvent qualifié de "père de la philosophie". S'il n'en est peut-être pas le fondateur, il est le premier à se détourner de l'étude de la nature et à insister pour que la réflexion philosophique s'intéresse désormais, et exclusivement, aux "affaires humaines". En raison de cette stature, et du fait qu'il n'ait jamais laissé d'écrit, on a longtemps cherché dans les œuvres de Platon, de Xénophon, d'Aristophane ou encore d'Aristote, la trace du vrai Socrate, du Socrate historique.

Common Sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775-76 that inspired people in the Thirteen Colonies to declare and fight for independence from Great Britain in the summer of 1776.

It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.

Érasme est la figure la plus marquante de l'humanisme. "Éloge de la folie" ("Encomium Moriae") est cet exercice oratoire à la manière des anciens, la folie s'exprime à la première personne en un joyeux sermon, plein de paradoxes, d'audaces et de satires à l'égard de la plupart des institutions - laïques et ecclésiastiques - et de leurs "mainteneurs".

Politics is the second half of a single treatise by Aristotle (384 B.C.E - 322 B.C.E.), Ethics being the first. Both deal with one and the same subject: what Aristotle calls the philosophy of human affairs. He also refers to it as political science and social science. Aristotle collected and studied the constitutions of over 150 city states before writing his Politics.

Phèdre est un des nombreux dialogues socratiques transmis par Platon. Il y est question de la beauté et de l'amour, entendu comme désir, dans un premier temps, puis de la beauté d'un discours et de la rhétorique dans un second temps. L'amour comme la rhétorique peuvent éléver la beauté de l'âme mais ils peuvent tout aussi bien l'abaisser, en s'attachant seulement au plaisir et à la domination d'autrui.
