Historians, even historians of philosophy, have tended to dismiss Stoicism lightly, and popular opinion has taken the cue. No doubt, relevant reasons abound. The riches of Socrates, Democritus, Plato, and Aristotle served to accentuate the comparative poverty of the next age.

Scopri la forza del passato per illuminare il tuo presente: un’epica lezione di saggezza e nobiltà. Scopri i segreti perduti della Cavalleria medievale e lasciati ispirare dalla sua saggezza millenaria, che ancora permea le nostre vite quotidiane. In un mondo in cui la Cavalleria sembra estranea ai nostri valori, questo libro svela l’inconscia presenza di un’etica dimenticata, eppure ancora profondamente, intrinsecamente radicata nell'essenza umana del Terzo Millennio.

Wie der Name des Dialogs es bereits ankündigt, geht es im "Sophistes" um eine genauere Bestimmung desselben. Ausgehend von der Frage, was denn das Wesen des Sophisten sei, vertieft Platon einmal mehr das die griechische Philosophie beschäftigende Thema von Sein und Nicht-Sein, von Wirklichkeit und Schein, von wahren und falschen Bildern. Dabei bildet die parmenideische Philosophie den Hintergrund, vor dem der junge Theätetos und der anonyme Gast aus Elea die eben genannten Themen im "Sophistes" diskutieren.

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

Stoicism has a lot to offer that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago—its guiding purpose was to help us to live better lives. The Stoic golden rule was that "we can't control external events, but we can choose how to respond to them". This idea can have a profound effect on how we exist in the world.

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world. The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.

Es gibt diese Sätze, die jeder kennt. Kein Wunder, dass sie unser Weltbild bis heute beeinflussen.

Bruno Preisendörfer begibt sich auf eine erstaunliche und spannende Spurensuche. Berühmten Zitaten geht es oft wie literarischen Figuren: So wie diese ihren Herkunftsbüchern entlaufen, verlassen jene ihre Entstehungskontexte und beginnen bei ihrer jahrhundertelangen Wanderung durch die Köpfe der Menschen ein Eigenleben.
