In 1988 a French philosopher announced that mathematics and the science of being are one and the same thing. He was not speaking loosely. He meant that set theory, the austere discipline that tells us how collections behave, is the true account of what exists, and that philosophy had been waiting twenty-five centuries for someone to notice. From this announcement he built the most ambitious system of our age: a theory of how anything genuinely new can enter a world, and of what it costs a person to stay loyal to it.

Everyone thinks they know Parmenides. He was the odd man of ancient Greece who used cold logic to prove that motion is impossible, that change is a fraud, and that your own eyes are liars. He is the philosopher common sense loves to hate, filed away as a curiosity between two more agreeable neighbors. This book argues that almost everything in that portrait is upside down, and that the real Parmenides was not the enemy of the living world but its unlikeliest comforter.

Was haben das Verschwinden von Apfelsorten, das Auftreten von Politikern in Talkshows, religiöser Fundamentalismus und der Kunst- und Musikmarkt miteinander gemeinsam? Überall wird Vielfalt reduziert, Unerwartetes und Unangepasstes zurückgedrängt. An die Stelle des eigentümlichen Inhalts rückt vermeintliche Authentizität: Nicht mehr das »was« zählt, sondern nur noch das »wie«.

There may be no end to the number of philosophies a human mind can build. Not empty ones, not frauds, but coherent, honest systems raised on real distinctions and carried through to the last decimal of clarity. Coherence, it turns out, is cheap. Yet out of this endless field of possible worlds, only a handful live for thousands of years. One of them bears the name of a quiet Greek of the third century who was so reluctant to draw attention to himself that we do not know the year or the place of his birth.

Can we make ourselves into better human beings? Can we help others do the same? And can we get the leaders of our society to care that humanity prospers, not just economically, but also spiritually? These questions have been asked for over two millennia and attempting to answer them is crucial if we want to live a better life and build a more just society. How to Be Good uses the story of Socrates and Alcibiades and examples from Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius and Machiavelli, alongside modern interpretations to explore what philosophy can teach us about the quest for virtue today.

Desde los desiertos de Egipto hasta la Biblioteca Vaticana, desde la Florencia de Dante hasta la celda de Catalina de Siena, Peter Jones nos presenta a pensadores, místicos y rebeldes que se enfrentaron a los mismos dilemas que nos inquietan hoy: cómo convivir con nuestros defectos, perdonarnos, analizar nuestros deseos y encontrar sentido en medio de la confusión.
