Per una meravigliosa e tremenda ambiguità linguistica, la morte e la vita sono iscritte nella stessa parola bios: bíos è vita, biós è arco. Noi siamo così un cerchio incompiuto, imperfetto, un arco, in cui inizio e fine non coincidono. Solitari restare a riva a osservare le tempeste della vita o salire a bordo senza troppo curarci dei compagni di viaggio? Seguire le leggi del cosmo o le leggi dell'io? Scegliere la politica o l'antipolitica? Il negotium o l'otium? Credere o capire di fronte a Dio e alla morte? Seguire la lezione dei padri o la rivoluzione dei figli?

What is the connection between them?

Marco Aurelio escribió sus Meditaciones durante los descansos de sus actividades políticas y bélicas. Estas reflexiones tenían el propósito de recordarle las máximas fundamentales del estoicismo y de ayudarle a aplicarlas en su día a día para no desviarse del objetivo primordial: ser mejor persona. Organizadas en doce libros, versan sobre temas universales y atemporales como la fugacidad del tiempo o la manera correcta de conducirse en la vida.

What's the big idea? Socrates argues that there are reasons to believe the soul is immortal and will live on after the body’s death. This dialogue tells us how Socrates spent the last day of his life with several friends, and how he met his end. Though soon to take a fatal drink of poison, Socrates insisted on discussing the soul and tried to prove its immortality.

Para conquistar el mundo, uno debe conquistarse primero a sí mismo: las emociones, las acciones y los pensamientos. Eisenhower dijo que la libertad es la práctica de la autodisciplina. Cicerón definió la virtud de la templanza como el esplendor de la vida. Sin límites ni autocontrol, no solo nos arriesgamos a no alcanzar nuestro potencial y a perder lo que hemos logrado, sino que, además, nos aseguramos una vida de humillación y miseria.

Aristotle knew things about happiness, habits, and human nature. This book is about his book, the Nichomachean Ethics.

In lucid prose, acclaimed philosopher John Sellars takes us on a journey through Aristotle's thought, vividly bringing to life the key ideas, and demonstrating that the famous philosopher's capacity for curiosity continues to offer us all a vision of more fulfilled lives. Aristotle has lessons still to teach.

How to Say No is a delightful collection of brief ancient writings about Cynicism that captures all the outrageousness, wit, and wisdom of its remarkable cast of characters—from Diogenes in the fourth century BCE to the column-stander Symeon Stylites in late antiquity.

In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech.

In his Poetics, Aristotle puts forward that everything we create is a kind of imitation of life, merely using different types of media, objects and manners, whether painting, music, or language. We shape the images, sounds or words to make some particular point and tell a unique story. But if you want an audience to respond to what you have to say, whatever you create must be connected logically to the real world. The rules of doing this successfully are laid out in Poetics.

Vieles, was wir heute denken, viele unserer westlichen Werte gehen zurück auf die Glanzzeit der ersten Philosophie in Griechenland um 500 v. Chr. Verbunden mit den Namen Sokrates, Platon und Aristoteles. Und auch unsere Literatur bestimmen noch immer Figuren und Geschichten der Antike. Unsere Box vereint Klassiker der Denk-und Dramenkunst. Mit dabei: "Die Apologie des Sokrates", "Das Gastmahl", "Phaidon" (alle Platon), "Die Nikomachische Ethik" (Aristoteles), "Antigone", "König Ödipus" (Sophokles), "Medea" (Euripides), "Die Perser" (Aischylos) und "Die Vögel", "Lysistrate"(Aristophanes).

What’s the big idea? To Socrates, living according to his values was more important than life itself. Plato’s Apology is in three parts: Socrates’ personal defense in his trial for impiety and corrupting the young, his plea before being sentenced, and his address to the jurors after he was condemned to death. This book includes an introduction, telling who Socrates was and how he came to be on trial for his life before his fellow Athenians.

A classic of stoic philosophy written by the emperor of Rome, Marcus Aurelius.

Theophrastus' Characters is a joyous festival of fault-finding: a collection of thirty closely observed personality portraits, defining the full spectrum of human flaws, failings, and follies. With piquant details of speech and behavior taken straight off the streets of ancient Athens, Theophrastus gives us sketches of the mean, vile, and annoying that are comically distorted yet vividly real. Enlivened by Pamela Mensch's fresh translation, Theophrastus' Characters transports us to a world populated by figures of flesh and blood, not bronze and marble.

Over two millennia ago, a Greek philosopher had a number of wondrous insights that paved the way to cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. In this elegant work, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander's overlooked legacy to modern science. He examines Anaximander as a scientist interested in shedding light on the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in his rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again.

Gehörte der "Menon" in der Antike zu einem der viel gelesenen und ausgedeuteten Dialoge Platons, zählt er heute eher zu den weniger bekannten Dialogen. Dabei enthält er viele wesentliche Aussagen Platons zu Erkenntnistheorie, Heuristik, Ethik und Seinslehre. Im "Menon" veranschaulicht uns Platon, wie all diese Bereiche, die heute gern getrennt voneinander gelehrt und erforscht werden, bei ihm noch unzertrennbar zusammengehören. Paraphrasierend könnte man mit Platons "Menon" sagen: "Ja, Tugend ist lehrbar.

Seneca (1 – 65 n. Chr.) war mehr als nur ein Philosoph: er war Staatsmann und Erzieher des despotischen Kaisers Nero. Wenn Seneca, Hauptvertreter der Denkrichtung der Stoa, praktische Lebenstipps erteilt, weiß er genau, wovon er spricht. Seneca weiß: ein gutes, glückliches und sinnvolles Leben ist möglich. Hier enthalten: Vom glücklichen Leben, Von der Kürze des Lebens, Von der Gemütsruhe, Vom Zorn.

What’s the big idea? Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius believed that in a palace or a soldiers’ camp one can live a life free of envy and desire, neither pursuing pleasure nor fearing pain as one performs the duties life has assigned. I have worked to make his Meditations as understandable as possible. By the end of the book, the emperor’s philosophy will be crystal clear. So please travel back almost 2,000 years ago and join Marcus Aurelius as sits in his camp in the evening meditating on life.
