Platão é considerado um dos nomes mais importantes para a compreensão do pensamento filosófico no Ocidente. Ele foi aluno de Sócrates, de quem registrou as ideias, e professor de Aristóteles–apesar das divergências que posteriormente os separaram. Um de seus legados mais importantes é a concepção do mundo das ideias em contraposição ao mundo dos sentidos. Para explicar essa teoria, o filósofo grego formulou a “alegoria da caverna”, que revolucionou para sempre a nossa forma de interpretar a realidade.

Aristóteles é considerado o primeiro cientista da humanidade e uma das mentalidades mais geniais de todos os tempos. Inventor da lógica e fundador da escola filosófica Liceu, foi aluno de Platão, mas não seu seguidor. Com isso, formulou sua própria filosofia e foi responsável por expandir a compreensão de disciplinas diversas, como biologia, ética, astronomia, retórica e política. A Coleção Saberes chega com o propósito de apresentar ideias e teorias de uma forma organizada, sintetizada e dinâmica.

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.

"Dass ich (...) vom "deutschen Wesen" zu fabeln begann (...) heute ist es mir ein unmögliches Buch" - so Nietzsche in seinem "Versuch einer Selbstkritik", dem der "Geburt der Tragödie" 14 Jahre später angefügten Vorwort aus dem Jahr 1886. Und tatsächlich birgt dieses Buch schwer zu ertragende Abschnitte, die sich, als Huldigung an die großen sächsischen Antiromanisten und Antisemiten Martin Luther und Richard Wagner, wie ein Hinweis auf den späteren Zusammenbruch der Menschlichkeit in Deutschland lesen.

"Auch der Mutigste von uns hat nur selten den Mut zu dem, was er eigentlich weiß ..."(Friedrich Nietzsche: Götzendämmerung)Eine heitere Psychologie bedarf des unverstellten Blickes, der "fröhlichen Wissenschaft", der offenen phänomenologischen Schau. Auch wenn man bei einigem in diesem Buch, wie z.B. den Ausführungen über das Bild des Sokrates, zurückschrecken mag, die Einforderung Nietzsches des unbedingt freien Blicks steht - bis heute - spannungsvoll im Raum."Ich mißtraue allen Systematikern und gehe ihnen aus dem Weg. Der Wille zum System ist ein Mangel an Rechtschaffenheit.

Nel pensiero di quest'uomo straordinario, che nella vita non ha mai smesso di insegnare (fu la sua missione), ci sono i semi della nascita dell'uomo occidentale. Il suo insegnamento si fonda sui temi della ricerca, della libertà, del dialogo e del dubbio. Una formula che ha come nutrimento l'amore per le domande e parte da un unico presupposto: la conoscenza di sé.

In seinem Buch "Die Rätsel der Philosophie" (1914), zunächst erschienen unter dem Titel "Welt- und Lebensanschauungen im neunzehnten Jahrhundert" (1900/1901) stellt Rudolf Steiner die Entwicklung der abendländischen Philosophie in den Kontext der Evolution des menschlichen Bewusstseins.

With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern sciences of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of meaning and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths.

The inscription on the Oracle of Delphi says: 'Nothing in excess.' C.S. Lewis described temperance as going to the 'right length but no further.'

Drawing on ancient Stoic wisdom and examples across history and around the world, Ryan Holiday shows why self-control is so vital, and how to cultivate it in our own lives.
