Las Meditaciones de Marco Aurelio es una obra clásica de la filosofía estoica, escrita por el propio emperador romano como una serie de reflexiones personales destinadas a su desarrollo espiritual y moral. Lejos de ser un tratado académico, el texto es íntimo, sincero y profundamente humano. A través de sus páginas, Marco Aurelio se enfrenta a las dificultades del poder, el dolor, la muerte y el deber, mientras busca vivir de acuerdo con la razón, la virtud y la naturaleza.

In this thought-provoking book, Tobias Leenaert leaves well-trodden animal advocacy paths and takes a fresh look at the strategies, objectives, and communication of the vegan and animal rights movement. He argues that, given our present situation, with entire societies dependent on using animals, we need a very pragmatic approach. How to Create a Vegan World contains many valuable ideas and insights for both budding advocates for animals and seasoned activists, organizational leaders, and even entrepreneurs.

The intention of this book is to open up a space for reflection and awareness of some aspects of the vast topic of female psychology, romantic relationships, and regaining your personal power by opening your heart to yourself. The central focus is the subconscious dynamics of female spirituality and the basic male and female archetypes, along with their strengths, fears, and possibilities. This understanding is valuable in order for every partner to become a complete personality who can accept their strengths, as well as their shadow aspects—those that we hide from ourselves.

Originally published in 1854, Walden; or, Life in the Woods, is a vivid account of the time that Henry D. Thoreau lived alone in a secluded cabin at Walden Pond. It is one of the most influential and compelling books in American literature. Much of Walden's material is derived from Thoreau's journals and contains such engaging pieces as "Reading" and "The Pond in the Winter.". Other famous sections involve Thoreau's visits with a Canadian woodcutter and with an Irish family, a trip to Concord, and a description of his bean field.

Estranho pensar que a filosofia randiana seja praticamente ignorada no Brasil. Talvez a nossa longa tradição estatizante e nosso apego tradicional ao altruísmo explique, mesmo que em parte, tal fenômeno. Rand não é apenas importante para que tenhamos uma nova visão de mundo e de indivíduo. Em terras brasileiras, a sua vida e o seu pensamento são verdadeiramente fundamentais.

На тему любви написаны тысячи книг и сказано такое множество слов, что одному человеку невозможно объять все их количество. Осмыслить ее как целостный духовный феномен, стало возможным благодаря философии. Первые попытки рационального осмысления любви были предприняты в Античности: Сократ считал, что истинная любовь вдохновляет человека на поиск истины, способствует духовному росту и преодолению эгоистических устремлений. Платон первым составил ее классификацию, определив виды.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) was the forerunner of the post-Kantian idealists and remains one of the most important figures in German philosophy. Throughout his career, Fichte published, in addition to his systematic or "scientific" treatises, the best known of which is the "Foundation of the Entire Wissenchaftslehre (1794-5), a series of works directed at the general public.

Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and the values of leadership.

In this illuminating overview, Professor Garrett Thomson surveys the field, considering the work and influence of 29 major thinkers representing logical atomism and logical positivism (including Russell and Wittgenstein), analytic philosophy (including Quine, Davidson, Rawls), phenomenology and existentialism (including Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre), hermeneutics (including Gadamer and Habermas) and post-structuralism (including Foucault, Derrida and Deleuze). Also examined are some recent thinkers including Richard Rorty and Charles Taylor.

The rapid rise of the #MeToo movement has created a seismic shift in how we work with sexual misconduct that occurs in relationships between men and women, but the scope and impact of behaviors within that category is full of gray areas. #MeToo-Informed Therapy guides therapists in finding effective ways to help men who offend, empowering women to find their voices, exploring ways for men to be allies in the #MeToo movement, and helping couples whose relationships can be enhanced by understanding #MeToo issues.

Der Einzelne im Spannungsfeld zwischen Individualität und Gesellschaft. Jeder Mensch ist zunächst einmal ein Einzelner. Das kann zur Belastung werden, aber auch den Ehrgeiz wecken, die eigene Individualität zu kultivieren. Zwischen diesen beiden Polen unserer Existenz hat es immer wieder eindrucksvolle Versuche gegeben, einzeln zu sein. Davon erzählt Rüdiger Safranski, beginnend bei Michel de Montaigne, über Rousseau, Diderot, Kierkegaard, Stirner und Thoreau bis zur existentialistischen Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Chi è il Dio dei monoteismi? Non certo il Dio di cui discutono atei e credenti, ma un Dio tragico e assoluto, drammatico nella sua Unità e apertura al mondo. È il concetto più alto: pensarlo significa affondare negli abissi del monoteismo, scorgere l'imperscrutabilità di questa presenza-assenza che da sempre ingombra la vita dell'uomo. Ma è anche il Dio che irrompe nella storia con uno sguardo di Amore verso l'Uomo e si fa sorgente di libertà e giustizia.

Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180.

In this Bundle you will get all the basic principles of Eudaimonia - Stoicism for the Uninitiated and those principle applied into a lifestyle that we can call Essentialism. Both Stoicism and Essentialism are in my opinion closely related, both disciplines praise the art of the simple life. It may take a while to master it but the price in not trying it can be high in terms of stress, dissatisfaction and a general lack of wellness in this disoriented society.

Questo libro è per chi si sente fuori posto o, come si dice in greco, atopos. Pare che uno dei primi a essere definito così sia stato Socrate, giudicato troppo strano, a volte anche fastidioso. Dopo di lui, tutti i filosofi vennero considerati atopoi. Le loro vite erano tormentate dalla ricerca di qualcosa che continuava a sfuggire e osservavano il mondo dall'esterno, senza farne mai davvero parte. Chi si sente fuori posto prova ogni giorno il doloroso desiderio di trovare un luogo da chiamare casa e vive la vita col fiato sospeso, sperando di riuscire un giorno a respirare.

This book (in dialogue form) explains what is the nature of politics, and what is the anthropological evolution of the political party by defining the essence of the political left and right and their respective raisons d’etre, what motivates them, and the nature of their ethics. The explanation is contained in 7 Dictums (one set of seven principles each for the Left and the Right). Further, the book demonstrates how the Dictums are relative and explanatory to the rise and fall of empires and the causes of war.
