Marc Aurèle est le dernier des "Cinq bons empereurs" de Rome ; son règne marque l'apogée de l'empire romain, qui ne sera jamais plus riche et pacifié qu'alors. Il partage avec l'esclave Épictète une place majeure dans la philosophie stoïcienne, et ses enseignements n'ont rien perdu de leur utilité aujourd'hui. Ses Méditations sont une série de notes écrites pour son propre usage, pendant une campagne militaire, et témoignent de sa quête de sagesse et de perfectionnement.

All effective debaters, whether they know it or not, employ Aristotle's 3 basic principles of effective argument that form the spine of Rhetoric. In Poetics, Aristotle draws a dramatic distinction between poetry and history. This collection also includes Aristotle's body of work that has come to be identified as Logic.

To give and receive well may be the most human thing you can do-but it is also the closest you can come to divinity. So argues the great Roman Stoic thinker Seneca in his longest and most searching moral treatise, "On Benefits" (De Beneficiis). James Romm's splendid new translation of essential selections from this work conveys the heart of Seneca's argument that generosity and gratitude are among the most important of all virtues.

In Of Peace of Mind, the Roman philosopher Seneca explores one of humanity's most enduring concerns: how to achieve inner calm amid the distractions, ambitions and anxieties of everyday life. Drawing on the principles of Stoicism, Seneca shows how self-knowledge, moderation and purposeful action can free us from worry and help us live with greater confidence and serenity.

Life is not short, Seneca argues. We simply waste too much of it. In On the Shortness of Life, the Roman philosopher and statesman examines how people squander their most precious resource: time. With clarity and conviction, Seneca challenges the pursuit of wealth, status and distraction, urging readers instead to devote themselves to what truly matters. Combining sharp observation with practical wisdom, he shows how mindful living can free us from needless busyness and help us make better use of the years available to us.

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.

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?
