Escritas en un momento de crisis política y personal, las misivas no solo tratan temas filosóficos como el paso del tiempo y la naturaleza del mundo, sino que ofrecen consejos prácticos sobre cómo vivir una vida serena y feliz, enfrentando la adversidad con entereza y sabiduría.

Einleitung: Die Magische Kraft des StoizismusIm hektischen und oft chaotischen Alltag des 21. Jahrhunderts sehnen sich viele von uns nach innerer Ruhe und Gelassenheit. Wir sind ständig gefordert, jonglieren zwischen beruflichen und privaten Verpflichtungen, sind von der Informationsflut der sozialen Medien überflutet und finden oft kaum Zeit, innezuhalten. Inmitten dieser modernen Herausforderungen erscheint eine alte Philosophie plötzlich wie ein Leuchtturm, der uns zeigt, wie wir inmitten des Sturms ruhig bleiben können: der Stoizismus.

Carrington presents a fairly deeply detailed look at understanding the 8 limbs of Yoga. Originally published in 1923 as a Westerner’s perspective and understanding of the practice Yoga, Carrington reveals a surprising depth of understanding as that of an adept, and manages to impart a lot of information, similar in that way that several more recent and more famous Yogis have shared their versions of shedding light on Yoga.

The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, perhaps the single most important figure in Western culture, is hidden in plain view. If his claim that “the unexamined life is not worth living” has ceased to shock us, that is not because we know how to live examined ones; we speak of “the Socratic method” in ignorance of just how much that method demands of us. In Open Socrates, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard takes us deeper into Socrates’ thought than any modern writer has.

This dialogue is a must-listen for anyone interested in ancient philosophy, cosmology, or metaphysics. Timaeus invites listeners to reflect on the deeper questions of life, existence, and the universe’s origins.

While medicine and science have obviously changed enormously since the classical world, and some Greco-Roman beliefs about diet now appear hilariously off the mark, How to Eat reveals that much of their advice still resonates—and all of it is fascinating.

From self-realization and self-promotion to self-help and the selfie, the modern world encourages us to be self-obsessed. We are even told that finding ourselves is the key to happiness. Better to lose yourself! More than 2,500 years ago, the Buddha argued that the self is an illusion—and that our belief in it is the cause of most, if not all, of our suffering. How to Lose Yourself presents lively, accessible, and expert new translations of ancient Buddhist writings about the central, unique, and powerful Buddhist teaching of "no-self."

What is love? In poetry, songs, fiction, movies, psychology, and philosophy, love has been described, admired, lamented, and dissected in endless ways. Is love based on physical attraction? Does it bring out our better selves? How does it relate to sex? Is love divine? Plato's Symposium is one of the oldest, most influential, and most profound explorations of such questions—it is even the source of the idea of "Platonic love."

Sebastián's interest in philosophy started with his friends in college who at the time introduced philosophy to him by engaging in discussions of critical thought. With time he branched out learning about the philosophies of different cultures, only to end up back to where he started with his favorite philosopher. This small book captures just a glimpse of Socrates' impactful thoughts and life's work. He remains an emblem of wisdom and a pillar of philosophical inquiry, urging us all to live examined and thoughtful lives.

Las Meditaciones, Pensamientos o A sí mismo del emperador romano Marco Aurelio es una obra literaria constituida por una serie de reflexiones de este filósofo, aparentemente fuera del tiempo y sin cronología. Fue originalmente redactada en griego entre los años 170 y 180. La obra, en doce tomos, es única en su género, y parece recorrer los últimos años de la vida interior de este emperador.

The Grammar of Angels tells the story of Renaissance prodigy and polymath Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, the uncontested marvel of an age of true wonders. Pico dedicated his life to a quest to find the sublime; to reconcile all existing thought into a philosophy that would settle the most important questions about human existence. This philosophy would also provide tools by which man could transcend his mortal limitations and join the ranks of the angels.

The Discourses of Epictetus are a series of informal lectures by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus written down by his pupil Arrian around 108 AD. Four books out of an original eight are still extant. The philosophy of Epictetus is intensely practical.

Neben der "Politeia" ist der "Timaios" der wirkungsgeschichtlich bedeutendste Dialog Platons. In einer Haltung religiöser Verehrung lässt Platon darin den Philosophen Timaios in mythischer Einkleidung die Erschaffung des Kosmos erzählen. So beantwortet der Dialog in Form der wahrscheinlichen Rede so grundlegende kosmologische Fragen wie: Wer erschuf den sichtbaren Kosmos und was war das Ansinnen dahinter? Gibt es ausschließlich nur einen Kosmos, oder existieren mehrere nebeneinander? Was war vor dem Kosmos, und wie entstand die Zeit?

Todo lo que los filósofos griegos pensaron hace mucho tiempo para mejorar tu vida ahora mismo. ¿Qué le diría Epicuro a Elon Musk? ¿Y Diógenes a una celebrity de Instagram? Es más, ¿qué te dirían los viejos filósofos a ti? Sí, a ti. Eres más griego de lo que piensas, todo lo que te pasa les pasó antes a ellos, tus problemas son los mismos y sus recetas para la vida siguen estando vigentes, pero desgraciadamente las hemos olvidado o malinterpretado. Es hora de volver a ellos. El escritor y aventurero Fabián C.

Oft genannt – selten gelesen – nie gehört. Johann Gottlieb Fichtes Reden (1808) versuchen, ein Nationalgefühl zu wecken, und zielen auf die Gründung eines deutschen Nationalstaates, der die Nachfolge des erloschenen Heiligen Römischen Reiches antreten und sich von der französischen Herrschaft emanzipieren sollte. Er entwickelt gedanklich eine "Nationalerziehung“, welche "die Freiheit des Willens gänzlich vernichtet“, um den Einzelnen in ihrem Sinne zu formen. Es versteht sich, dass solche Reden heutzutage kontrovers beurteilt werden.

As chief advisor to the emperor Nero, Lucius Annaeus Seneca was most influential in ancient Rome as a power behind the throne. His lasting fame derives from his writings on Stoic ideology, in which philosophy is a practical form of self-improvement rather than a matter of argument or wordplay. Seneca's letters to a young friend advise action rather than reflection, addressing the issues that confront every generation: how to achieve a good life; how to avoid corruption and self-indulgence; and how to live without fear of death.
