Perché Eraclito morì sepolto vivo sotto il letame? Cosa ci raccontano il dolce morire di Democrito in una vasca piena di miele e il tuffarsi nell'Etna di Empedocle? Perché Thomas More fu decapitato e Giordano Bruno arso vivo? Cosa nascondono la cicuta di Socrate, la polmonite di Descartes e la pleurite di Schopenhauer? Per Matteo Saudino, il Prof più seguito d'Italia, morire è l'atto più filosofico del nostro vivere. La morte è un caleidoscopio attraverso cui osservare frammenti di puzzle esistenziali e ricostruire trame del pensiero.

Volumul "Rămâi cu bine" conţine o selecție de scrisori care au fost trimise de Seneca acum 2000 de ani şi acum au ajuns la noi. "Ramâi cu bine" nu este doar o formă de a lua rămas bun la incheierea unei scrisori, ci şi o aducere aminte: "Eu plec, tu rămâi cu tine. Întotdeauna eşti cu tine. Ai grijă de ceea ce este cu adevărat al tău - timpul tău şi partea ceea bună din tine!"

María Zambrano, allieva di José Ortega y Gasset e di Xavier Zubiri all'Universidad Central di Madrid, fu esiliata dopo la guerra civile e viaggiò, peregrinando e nascondendosi, dal Messico a Cuba, da Roma alla Svizzera. Con uno sguardo profondo e delicato, Luigina Mortari compone il ritratto di una vita in fuga e di un pensiero libero: "La filosofia di Zambrano spazia sui paesaggi dell'anima, apre all'immensità del cosmo, addolcisce il discorso con parole di poesia, e per queste sue qualità può sembrare una filosofia dell'intimo.

Poche donne nella storia ebbero la possibilità di distinguersi nelle discipline scientifiche, considerate appannaggio maschile. La più nota, nella tarda antichità, fu senza dubbio Ipazia, scienziata e filosofa, nata ad Alessandria d'Egitto nel 370 d.C., inventrice di strumenti come il planisfero e l'astrolabio. Figlia del matematico Teone, e lei stessa primo matematico donna della storia, fu la più nota esponente alessandrina della scuola neoplatonica, circondata dal rispetto di allievi giunti da ogni angolo del mondo.

Durch keinen anderen Denker lernt man so gut kennen, was auch die "Sattelzeit" genannt wurde: der Übergang des alten Europa in die moderne Gesellschaft. Ob Aufklärung, die Herrschaft Napoleons oder die Befreiungskriege, ob Industrialisierung, Vormärz oder die großen Entdeckungen - die Welt ändert sich während der Lebensjahrzehnte Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegels von Grund auf. Und zwar durch Ideen, die zu Revolutionen führten: politische, industrielle, ästhetische und pädagogische.

Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola, known to the English-speaking world as Julius Evola (1898-1974), was an Italian philosopher, magician, painter, occultist, Orientalist, linguist, and champion mountain climber. Often considered a pillar of Neo-Fascist thought, Evola opposed Fascism and called himself a “radical traditionalist”.

David Hume es considerado el filósofo en lengua inglesa más importante que jamás haya existido. Sin embargo, en vida se le atacó por su escepticismo religioso, se le llamó el Gran Infiel y se le consideró inapto para instruir a los jóvenes. Adam Smith, en cambio, fue un profesor reverenciado de filosofía moral y a menudo se le ensalza como padre fundador del capitalismo. Lo más asombroso, con todo, es que los dos mantuvieron, según lo define Rasmussen, la amistad más grande que se conoce entre dos filósofos.

Drawing on extensive archival sources and hundreds of interviews, Timothy Brennan’s Places of Mind is the first comprehensive biography of Said, one of the most controversial and celebrated intellectuals of the 20th century. In Brennan’s masterful work, Said, the pioneer of post-colonial studies, a tireless champion for his native Palestine and an erudite literary critic, emerges as a self-doubting, tender and eloquent advocate of literature’s dramatic effects on politics and civic life.

When we lose someone we love, when we suffer loss or defeat, when catastrophe strikes - war, famine, pandemic - we go in search of consolation. But how do we console each other and ourselves in an age of unbelief? In a series of lapidary meditations on writers, artists, musicians, and their works - from the books of Job and Psalms to Albert Camus, Anna Akhmatova, and Primo Levi - esteemed writer and historian Michael Ignatieff shows how men and women in extremity have looked to each other across time to recover hope and resilience.

David Hume (1711-1776) is perhaps best known for his ideas about cause and effect and his criticisms of religion, but he is rarely thought of as a philosopher with practical wisdom to offer. Yet Hume's philosophy is grounded in an honest assessment of nature - human nature in particular. The Great Guide is an engaging and eye-opening account of how Hume's thought should serve as the basis for a complete approach to life. Julian Baggini masterfully interweaves biography with intellectual history and philosophy to give us a complete vision of Hume's guide to life.

Trois femmes exceptionnelles, Jeanne Guyon, Simone Weil et Etty Hillesum, trois vies marquées par l'expérience mystique. Chacune emprunte le long chemin du délaissement de soi, du dénuement, du renoncement à toute forme de satisfaction, pour parvenir à une parfaite "indifférence", une disposition à ne pas faire de différence, apprendre à tout accueillir avec la même générosité désintéressée, au-delà du bien et du mal.

In The Lives of Michel Foucault, David Macey quotes the iconic French philosopher as speaking “nostalgically...of 'an unforgettable evening on LSD, in carefully prepared doses, in the desert night, with delicious music, [and] nice people'". This came to pass in 1975, when Foucault spent Memorial Day weekend in Southern California at the invitation of Simeon Wade - ostensibly to guest-lecture at the Claremont Graduate School where Wade was an assistant professor, but in truth to explore what he called the Valley of Death.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 - 1831) ist in Stuttgart geboren und besucht dort die Schule. Bekannt wird er als Philosoph des deutschen Idealismus. Seine hohen Ideale beschreibt er als "absoluten Geist" und fordert statt des Behauptens das "begreifende Erkennen", welches durch Nachdenken zu erreichen sei. Lebenslang pflegt er sein großes politisches Interesse an der deutschen Staatsbildung. Die vielbeachteten Abhandlungen Die Verfassung Deutschlands (1802) und Über die wissenschaftlichen Behandlungsarten des Naturrechts (1803) sind beeindruckende Zeugnisse dafür.

The tradition of the Himalayan sages that exists today is an unbroken chain that extends for more than 5,000 years.
