Ética a Nicómaco de Aristóteles es un texto fundamental de la filosofía moral occidental, donde el autor explora el concepto de virtud y felicidad. Aristóteles plantea que la vida buena para el ser humano es la vida de virtud, entendida como un término medio entre dos extremos, y que la felicidad (eudaimonia) es el fin último de la existencia humana, alcanzable mediante la práctica de las virtudes éticas y dianoéticas, en el marco de una vida dedicada a la actividad del alma conforme a la razón.

"Держава" — діалог Платона, присвячений проблемі ідеальної держави. Він був створений у 360 р. до н.е. На думку Платона, держава є втіленням ідеї справедливості. В діалогові вперше чітко вказані філософи як люди, здатні осягнути те, що завжди тотожне самому собі. Діалог містить систематику й короткий критичний аналіз різновидів державного устрою (ідеальна «держава майбутнього», котра поки не існує, до нього не входить), розташованих Платоном за мірилом поступової деградації, що має вигляд еволюції в часі, але незворотність такої еволюції прямо не стверджується.

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world. The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.

Dort lassen sie sich nieder und, den Schatten und das laue Lüftchen in der Mittagshitze genießend, beginnen sie sich zu unterhalten.
