Greek Philosophy

O Manual de Epicteto, também conhecido por Encheirídion, é um curto guia com conselhos éticos estoicos compilado por Flávio Arriano, aluno de Epicteto. Encheirídion consiste em um conjunto de aforismos que o filósofo deve ter sempre à mão, para ajudá-lo a enfrentar e vencer as dificuldades da vida: para lembra-lo, conforme ensinava Epicteto, que não devemos considerar como nossas aquelas coisas que não estão sob o nosso controle, mas devemos, sim, concentrar nossos esforços naquilo que está sob o nosso controle.

In these aphorisms, the philosopher reflects on our mortality and the knowledge that we will suffer in this life. However, each of us has the choice to endure with dignity those setbacks that we cannot control, he contends. Acceptance is core in Stoic doctrine.

Life in Ancient Greece and Rome was tough. Violent wars and terrible diseases were much more common. And yet, some philosophers - and even one emperor - have found a way to stay resilient and reasonably happy in those hard, unpredictable times! Their ideas, known as Stoicism, have stood the test of time. And they'll make you stronger and wiser than most modern-day popular psychology.

The dramatic nature of Plato’s dialogues is delightfully evident in the "Symposium." The marriage between character and thought bursts forth as the guests gather at Agathon's house to celebrate the success of his first tragedy. With wit and insight, they each present their ideas about love - from Erixymachus’s scientific naturalism to Aristophanes' comic fantasy. The unexpected arrival of Alcibiades breaks the spell cast by Diotima’s ethereal climb up the staircase of love to beauty itself.

Meno is a Socratic dialogue written by Plato. In it, the two characters, Meno and Socrates, discuss "arete", or virtue. This dialogue is also famous for introducing "Meno's Paradox".

Ce texte fondateur du philosophe épicurien de la Grèce Antique qui regroupe poésie et philosophie se présente comme une tentative de "briser les forts verrous des portes de la nature", c'est-à-dire de révéler au lecteur la nature du monde et des phénomènes naturels. Selon Lucrèce, cette connaissance du monde doit permettre à l'homme de se libérer du fardeau des superstitions, notamment religieuses, constituant autant d'entraves qui empêchent chacun d'atteindre l'ataraxie ; la tranquillité de l'âme.

On Life and Death is a work of the Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle, which was included in the collection Parva Naturalia ("short treatises on nature"). The collection consists of seven essays discussing various natural phenomena related to the body and soul. The culmination of Aristotle's "Parva Naturalia" is the definition of the stages of the life cycle, from the birth of a new living being to death.

Lysis is a dialogue of Plato which discusses the nature often translated as friendship, while the word's original content was of a much larger and more intimate bond. It is generally classified as an early dialogue. The main characters are Socrates, the boys Lysis and Menexenus who are friends, as well as Hippothales, who is in unrequited love with Lysis and therefore, after the initial conversation, hides himself behind the surrounding listeners.

We live in a fast-paced world that has come to characterize the 21st century. We are bombarded with constant distractions, and silence has all but vanished from our daily schedule and practice. We are collectively exhausted, but we don’t really realize it. The exhaustion manifests in sicknesses we can’t identify, and if we can, it’s something we can’t pronounce. We batter ourselves against the daily onslaught that has become our lives.

Der römische Philosoph Seneca lehrt, wie man aus einem kurzen Leben ein langes macht. Sein Versprechen: „Das Leben, das uns gegeben ist, ist lang genug und völlig ausreichend zur Vollführung auch der herrlichsten Taten, wenn es nur von Anfang bis zum Ende gut verwendet würde.“ Der zeitlose Essay des Stoikers Seneca bietet ein tiefen Einblick in die Kunst des Lebens.

¿Cómo vivir una vida feliz? Hace más de dos mil años, el filósofo griego Epicuro ofreció una respuesta simple: lo único que realmente necesitamos es placer. Hoy tendemos a asociar la palabra «epicúreo» con el exceso indulgente y el simple disfrute de la comida y el vino, pero el hedonismo ligero y la autocomplacencia decadente están a años luz de la vida placentera que perseguían Epicuro y sus seguidores, más preocupados por los placeres mentales y por eludir el dolor incluso en los tiempos difíciles.

Recognizing the power of the new and trying to understand and promote the conditions that make it possible, the Greeks were the first to write about innovation and even the first to record a word for forging something new. In short, the Greeks "invented" innovation itself - and they still have a great deal to teach us about it. How to Innovate is an engaging introduction to key ideas about - and examples of - innovation and creative thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D'Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus.
