Sin, the newest contribution by Gregory Mellema, provides a short and lively summary of what contemporary philosophers are saying about the relationship between the traditional theological category of sin and contemporary philosophical ethics.

O excelentă introducere în scrierile lui Seneca, în ceea ce înseamnă filosofia stoică și stoicismul: lecții comprimate pe înțelesul cititorului contemporan și sfaturi practice despre cum să duci o viață bună, despre umilință, dragoste, bătrânețe ș.a., extrase din învățăturile atemporale ale lui Seneca

Few ideas have been as influential in the development of moral, political, legal, and economic thought in the broad Western tradition as the idea of natural law. It is also true that the understanding of natural law and its influence on specific norms and institutions—rights, justice, private property, rule of law, limited government—is not anywhere near as widespread in the 21st century as it was just 100 years ago.

As in walking we learn to harmonize with the law of gravity, so in living we learn to harmonize with the natural order. By this understanding of the term, one must develop a certain mastery of Taoist philosophy in order to remain alive. What departs the Way is already doomed, posits Lao, thus validating this understanding of his teachings as a nature philosophy which, like the nearly contemporaneous Athenian enlightenment, crested thousands of years ahead of its modern reawakening.

Tras su sentencia, Sócrates se encuentra en su celda de la ciudad de Atenas esperando el fatídico día. Poco antes de este, ante él se presentaría Critón, su viejo amigo, quién trataría de convencerle para escapar de la muerte. Sin embargo, Sócrates, dando fe de sus ideales, rechazaría sus insinuaciones para huir de la justicia ateniense, y antes de partir a cumplir el veredicto de la asamblea, le daría una lección respecto a la justicia y los compromisos, y como estos son la base de la convivencia entre hombres de honor.

„Z góry i bez trudu można zgadnąć, jakie będą błędy ciemnych mas. Czego nikt nie zdołałby przewidzieć, czego nie wyśnilibyśmy w sennym koszmarze, czego nie spłodziłaby najbardziej chora wyobraźnia – to błędy ludzi świetnie wykształconych” – G.K. Chesterton. „Obrona rozumu” to wybór esejów G.K. Chestertona. Wybitny angielski pisarz z typowym dla siebie błyskotliwym humorem, czasem nabierającym cech humoru czarnego, opisuje przejawy współczesnego sposobu myślenia, wykazując, że są to w istocie przejawy bezmyślności.

Was ist Wissen? Dies ist die grundlegende Frage, die Platon in dem Dialog "Theätet" verhandelt. Um diese so gewichtige Frage philosophisch zu diskutieren, lässt Platon seinen Sokrates mit dem Mathematiker Theodoros und dessen Schüler Theätet zusammentreffen. Während der ältliche Theodoros für den Erkenntnisgang des Dialogs eher die Rolle des Mitunterredners einnimmt, rückt der noch junge und unerfahrene Theätet mehr und mehr ins Zentrum des Dialogs.

Wenn Dir ein Unheil passiert, gibt es für Dich kein besseres Heilmittel als die Lektüre von Lucius A. Seneca. Seine Schriften fanden die Bewunderung des Kirchenvaters Hieronymus, sie trösteten den römischen Senator Boethius im Gefängnis, sie wurden von Dante zitiert und von Rubens verehrt, sie entlockten sogar dem Erasmus höchstes Lob. Sein eigenes Leben vor 2000 Jahren scheint dazu in offenem Gegensatz zu stehen: Unter Kaiser Caligula wird Seneca verfolgt, unter Claudius verbannt und von Nero zum Selbstmord gezwungen.

At the core of our being lies the heart. The heart is what contains human emotion, including love and compassion. Though humanity wants world peace, we can't seem to live peacefully amongst one another. Religious institutions, schools and educational systems, military and governments have done little to nothing to end the violence. Love is the solution, yet we continue to justify the violence. Why is this?

El último de los discursos dados por uno de los filósofos más grandes de la historia de la humanidad retrata en sus páginas cada uno de los principios que defendió durante su vida.

Um jedoch in die große Mannigfaltigkeit der hierher gehörigen Ansichten und Ratschläge einige Ordnung zu bringen, will ich sie einteilen in allgemeine, in solche, welche unser Verhalten gegen uns selbst, dann gegen andere, und endlich gegen den Weltlauf und das Schicksal betreffen.

The Lord of the Rings is intended to be applicable to the real world of relationships, religion, pleasure, pain, and politics. Tolkien himself said that his grand tale of wizards, orcs, hobbits, and elves was aimed at truth and good morals in the actual world.

What is medicine and what is it for? What does it mean to be a good doctor? The Way of Medicine articulates and defends an account of medicine and medical ethics meant to challenge the reigning provider of services model, in which clinicians eschew any claim to know what is good for a patient and instead offer an array of “health care services” for the sake of the patient’s subjective well-being.

Torture doctors invent and oversee techniques to inflict pain and suffering without leaving scars. Their knowledge of the body and its breaking points and their credible authority over death certificates and medical records make them powerful and elusive perpetrators of the crime of torture. In The Torture Doctors, Steven H. Miles fearlessly explores who these physicians are, what they do, how they escape justice, and what can be done to hold them accountable.

Tras la partida de Sócrates al Hades, todos los hombres de Grecia se llenaron la cabeza de interrogantes respecto a su muerte. En este libro —uno de los diálogos más importantes de Platón—, se sostiene una charla entre Equécrates y Fedón, revelándose las últimas preocupaciones del famoso filósofo, así como también valiosos debates en lo que intervendrían Simias y Cebete, respecto a la naturaleza del alma y como esta representa un ser inmortal que trasciende al cuerpo; y que, para su propio bienestar, debe estar lo más desapegada posible a las bajas ambiciones terrenales.

In "Also sprach Zarathustra" bringt Friedrich Nietzsche die Kerngedanken seiner Philosophie in großer Dichtung zum Ausdruck.

Der Sprecher Volker Braumann legt hier mit dem ersten Teil des Zarathustra eine mitreißende wie verständige neue Lesung des Textes vor.
