Ma servono anche a dare un senso alla vita umana, a fornire risposte alle domande che ci facciamo ancora oggi: da dove viene l'Umanità? Perché siamo destinati a morire?

In ancient Greece and across the Mediterranean, kingdoms strive for dominance. The great powers of Carthage and Egypt look on with avarice as the might of the Greeks is spent warring between themselves, oblivious to external dangers. Year in and year out, the people suffer at the hands of their rulers and the famine and pestilence that comes with conflict.

The need to eat and drink is a biological necessity for everyone, but along with that, food and drink are often at the very center of social life. This was no different in ancient Greece, but if anything, the social importance placed on food and wine in the Greek world was even more pronounced and had profound consequences for the rest of the world.

"L'amore. Cominciamo da qui, parliamo d'amore. Ma per farlo dobbiamo ricordare che anche i sentimenti hanno una storia. Tutto cambia nel tempo, persino questo sentimento che una retorica tanto facile quanto ingannevole ci spinge a considerare immutabile. Dimentichiamo allora la concezione romantica e cerchiamo di capire che cos'era l'amore per i greci, cerchiamo, addentrandoci in un mondo lontano, di cogliere i diversi volti dell'amore.

Auf einprägsame und humorvolle Weise gelingt es Anthony Kenny, auch Lesern ohne Vorkenntnisse, die Geschichte der Philosophie näher zu bringen. Von Pythagoras über Sokrates bis hin zu Platon führt er uns mit Leichtigkeit durch die antiken Anfänge der Philosophie und stellt einleuchtend dar, warum diese lang vergangene Epoche des Denkens in der heutigen Gesellschaft aktueller denn je ist.

Eine fesselnde Geschichte der Philosophie, die Kenny mit so klaren Worten zu erklären vermag, wie sonst kaum ein Philosoph - ideal für jeden Einsteiger. Das 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. war das der großen Philosophen. Nachdem Sokrates starb, wurde kurz darauf Aristoteles geboren. Bereits im Jugendalter verließ der Makedonier seine Heimat und ging nach Athen, um von Platon unterrichtet zu werden. Der Hörer wird hineingezogen in eine antike Welt, geprägt von geistiger Stärke und philosophischen Theorien.

Ma nessuno può negare ch'esso sia stato immenso e che soprattutto siano stati vari, vivaci e affascinanti i suoi protagonisti Indro Montanelli. I greci di Montanelli sono nostri contemporanei. Molte le affinità e i confronti anche paradossali: Omero era il "poeta della Confindustria", Platone un totalitario che "se vivesse oggi, riceverebbe il premio Stalin".
