Der römische Philosoph Seneca lehrt, wie man aus einem kurzen Leben ein langes macht. Sein Versprechen: „Das Leben, das uns gegeben ist, ist lang genug und völlig ausreichend zur Vollführung auch der herrlichsten Taten, wenn es nur von Anfang bis zum Ende gut verwendet würde.“ Der zeitlose Essay des Stoikers Seneca bietet ein tiefen Einblick in die Kunst des Lebens.

On June 22, 1936, the philosopher Moritz Schlick was on his way to deliver a lecture at the University of Vienna when Johann Nelböck, a deranged former student of Schlick's, shot him dead on the university steps. Some Austrian newspapers defended the madman, while Nelböck himself argued in court that his onetime teacher had promoted a treacherous Jewish philosophy. David Edmonds traces the rise and fall of the Vienna Circle - an influential group of brilliant thinkers led by Schlick.

¿Cómo vivir una vida feliz? Hace más de dos mil años, el filósofo griego Epicuro ofreció una respuesta simple: lo único que realmente necesitamos es placer. Hoy tendemos a asociar la palabra «epicúreo» con el exceso indulgente y el simple disfrute de la comida y el vino, pero el hedonismo ligero y la autocomplacencia decadente están a años luz de la vida placentera que perseguían Epicuro y sus seguidores, más preocupados por los placeres mentales y por eludir el dolor incluso en los tiempos difíciles.

Dialogul Despre mânie aşează o oglindă în faţa omului mâniat şi-i arată chipul strâmb şi negru. Un chip care nu mai este al unui om. Ca să nu te pierzi în acest război cu tine însuţi, învaţă să nu-l începi. Este în puterea ta, pentru că "mânia nu îndrăzneşte nimic singură, ci doar cu acordul sufletului".

Este un ghid antic de time management care te îndeamnă să nu uiți că TU ești beneficiarul final al vieții și al timpului tău.

Epictetus was one of the main voices of the philosophy of the Stoa, and as such most influentia. His "Enchiridion", or handbook, is a manual for practical philosophy. It offers carefully worded instructions for an ethical, sustained way of life. A very old text - but true to this very day and age!

Dialogul Despre viaţă fericită este despre Plăcere. Şi o combate. De ce? Ca să nu ne combată ea. Plăcerea dispare imediat ce este atinsă, iar dacă noi ne vom ghida după ea, rătăcirea este sigură. Plăcerea să ne fie un însoţitor, nu călăuză. Să nu ne conducă, ci să ne urmărească.

Recognizing the power of the new and trying to understand and promote the conditions that make it possible, the Greeks were the first to write about innovation and even the first to record a word for forging something new. In short, the Greeks "invented" innovation itself - and they still have a great deal to teach us about it. How to Innovate is an engaging introduction to key ideas about - and examples of - innovation and creative thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D'Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus.

Platons Dialoge gehören in philosophischer wie auch in literarischer Hinsicht unzweifelhaft zu den großen kulturellen Hervorbringungen des alten Griechenlands. Ihr Einfluss auf das Denken und auf das, was wir heute allgemein unter Philosophie verstehen, kann kaum überschätzt werden. Zentrale Themen der platonischen Philosophie wie die Frage nach dem Guten und die Frage, wie man auf zwingend richtige Gründe abgestütztes Wissen erlangt, haben mehr als nur Akzente in der abendländischen Geistesgeschichte hinterlassen.

Il Medioevo - lo dicono tutti - è un'epoca buia. "D'accordo, ma chi è stato a spegnere la luce?" domanda candidamente Luciano De Crescenzo. E quali figure riuscirono a illuminare quel buio con la forza del loro pensiero?

In The Republic, Socrates is asked the question: "What is justice?" And in order to answer it, he draws a long and detailed analogy between the individual and the city. Plato’s work forms the foundation of Western philosophy and covers a wide range of topics including political theory and ethics, with extended digressions into artistic and literary criticism, the theory and practice of education as well as epistemology and metaphysics.

Gefühle und Emotionen sind uns oft lästig, weil wir glauben, dass wir dann nicht mehr richtig funktionieren. Doch das Unterdrücken und Übergehen unserer Gefühle kann uns krank machen, da sie wichtige Signale senden. Wie können wir unsere Gefühle für uns nutzen? Wie können wir mit dem Wissen über unsere Gefühle und die Veränderung der negativen Gefühle glücklicher und zufriedener werden?

In 1572, Montaigne - nobleman, humanist, and thoroughly Renaissance man - retired to the seclusion of his estate in the Dordogne and started to write. From his pen poured a stream of "essays" - attempts to capture the observations that came to him on an idiosyncratic range of subjects, from ancient customs, cannibals, and books to thumbs, war-horses, and the wearing of clothes. He made the study of himself the starting point for investigations into how to live, and wrote with a startlingly modern candor about love, grief, friendship, sex, and death.

In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Christopher Taylor explores the life of Socrates and his philosophical activity, before looking to the responses his philosophical doctrines have evoked in the centuries since his betrayal and execution at fellow Athenian hands.
