Las Meditaciones de Marco Aurelio es una obra que todavía hoy sigue ayudando a millones de lectores a vivir mejor. Cuando nos enfrentamos a su lectura, una pregunta nos asalta inevitablemente: ¿cómo pudo Marco Aurelio (121-180), máxima autoridad de uno de los imperios más grandes de la historia, conservar la serenidad en medio de un tumulto de guerras, traiciones, epidemias y catástrofes naturales que lo sacudieron durante cerca de dos decenios? La respuesta se encuentra en la filosofía en la que se formó desde muy joven y por la que experimentó una intensa pasión: el estoicismo.

Paleophilosophy: The Dawn of Thought is a book that restores to us the forgotten dignity of ancient humanity. It makes a simple and radical claim: philosophy is older than cities, temples, and alphabets; it begins not with libraries, but with silence around the fire, with palms pressed against stone, with the rhythm of the dance, with the care given to the dead, and with dreams in which humankind first encountered the “other.

Life is unpredictable. Challenges arise, setbacks happen, and uncertainty is inevitable. But while you may not control what happens, you can control how you respond. Imagine facing uncertainty without fear, setbacks without frustration, and loss without despair. This book will show you how to shift your focus from what you can’t control to what you can—your thoughts, actions, and perspective.

Centuries before anyone ever thought of keeping a gratitude journal, the Aztecs understood the profound value of being grateful. For generations, specially trained Aztec public speakers presented traditional dialogues at marriages, births, funerals, government ceremonies, and other important occasions.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was one of the most influential figures in late republican Rome, a moment of great social, political, and cultural unrest that would lead to the transition from republic to empire. Cicero was a statesman who held the highest political office, the consulship, and then suffered politically motivated exile. His career was grounded in his continued success as an orator: his speeches were famous during his lifetime and, together with his rhetorical treatises, shaped the practice and theory of public speaking for centuries to come.

Aristotle's Poetics is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term which in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes drama—comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play—as well as lyric poetry, epic poetry, and the dithyramb). He examines its "first principles" and identifies its genres and basic elements. His analysis of tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion.

From Socrates' fascinating discussions of morality and virtue to Pythagoras' attempts to understand the arrangement of the cosmos, the thinkers of the ancient world provided us with an astonishing array of ideas that has helped to shape the modern world.

What happens when someone sounds wise—but isn’t? In Sophist, Plato takes us into a thoughtful and eye-opening conversation about truth, falsehood, and the power of language.

Dans ce second et dernier volume dédié à l'histoire romaine, l'immense Isaac Asimov emmène ses lecteurs à travers les quatre siècles durant lesquels Rome assura son hégémonie sur le monde occidental, apportant la paix à une centaine de millions de personnes, tout en développant deux des plus conséquents héritages de l'Antiquité : le droit et le christianisme. Se plaçant en chroniqueur lucide, Asimov, au moyen d'anecdotes savoureuses et d'apartés, relie la grande histoire, celle des batailles et des empereurs, à la « petite », celle du quotidien et des masses anonymes.

When Christians of any age, country, or denomination debate the nature of the good life, the soul, free will, or design, Aristotle lies behind their logic as well as their rhetoric. Although Aristotle did not have access to the Bible's special revelation, he made full use of general revelation to arrive at deep truths about the nature of God, human identity, and the universe. In a follow up to his well-loved book From Plato to Christ.

Cármides es un diálogo temprano de Platón, centrado en la exploración de la virtud de la "Sofrosina", un concepto griego antiguo de un ideal de excelencia de carácter y solidez de ánimo, que cuando se combina en un individuo bien equilibrado conduce a otras cualidades, como la templanza, la moderación, la prudencia, la pureza, el decoro y el autocontrol; usualmente traducida como templanza, moderación o sabiduría interior. El diálogo se sitúa poco después de la batalla de Potidea.

Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder, and the first Western philosophers developed theories of the world which express simultaneously their sense of wonder and their intuition that the world should be comprehensible. But their enterprise was by no means limited to this proto-scientific task. Through, for instance, Heraclitus's enigmatic sayings, the poetry of Parmenides and Empedocles, and Zeno's paradoxes, the Western world was introduced to metaphysics, rationalist theology, ethics, and logic.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-AD 65) is one of the most famous Roman philosophers. Instrumental in guiding the Roman Empire under emperor Nero, Seneca influenced him from a young age with his Stoic principles. Later in life, he wrote Letters from a Stoic, detailing these principles in full. Seneca’s letters read like a diary or a handbook of philosophical meditations. Often beginning with observations on daily life, the letters focus on many traditional themes of Stoic philosophy, such as the contempt of death, the value of friendship, and virtue as the supreme good.

Considered by many to be the most important philosopher ever, Plato was born into a well-to-do family in wartime Athens at the end of the fifth century BCE. He finally decided to go into politics, but became disillusioned, especially after the Athenians condemned his teacher, Socrates, to death. He began teaching in his twenties and later founded the Academy, the world's first higher-educational research and teaching establishment. Eventually, he returned to practical politics and spent a considerable amount of time and energy trying to create a constitution for Syracuse in Sicily.

Para Spinoza, Deus é eterno e infinito. Sendo infinito, nós não podemos limitá-lo. Ele tem que estar em nós, pois se não estivesse, nós limitaríamos Deus. Embora Spinoza fosse judeu, seu conceito de Deus não é o mesmo do judaísmo. Por isso, o autor fez uma separação entre o Deus de Spinoza e o Deus Judeu.

En Apología de Sócrates, diálogo compuesto entre 393 y 389 a. C., Platón (c. 427 - 347 a. C.) da una versión de la defensa del mismo Sócrates tras ser acusado de corromper a los jóvenes y despreciar a los dioses.

Historians, even historians of philosophy, have tended to dismiss Stoicism lightly, and popular opinion has taken the cue. No doubt, relevant reasons abound. The riches of Socrates, Democritus, Plato, and Aristotle served to accentuate the comparative poverty of the next age.

Wie der Name des Dialogs es bereits ankündigt, geht es im "Sophistes" um eine genauere Bestimmung desselben. Ausgehend von der Frage, was denn das Wesen des Sophisten sei, vertieft Platon einmal mehr das die griechische Philosophie beschäftigende Thema von Sein und Nicht-Sein, von Wirklichkeit und Schein, von wahren und falschen Bildern. Dabei bildet die parmenideische Philosophie den Hintergrund, vor dem der junge Theätetos und der anonyme Gast aus Elea die eben genannten Themen im "Sophistes" diskutieren.

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

Stoicism has a lot to offer that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago—its guiding purpose was to help us to live better lives. The Stoic golden rule was that "we can't control external events, but we can choose how to respond to them". This idea can have a profound effect on how we exist in the world.

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world. The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.
