Socrates created and embodied a living holistic philosophy that integrated mind, body and soul. He asked the timeless question that affects us all: What is the right way to live?

Peter Sloterdijk porträtiert philosophische Temperamente von der Antike bis in das 20. Jahrhundert...

Ein Drama ist entweder eine Tragödie oder eine Komödie. Und alle anderen allgemein bekannten Genres sind Ableitungen bzw. Variationen der genannten zwei Hauptformen. Die "Poetik" von Aristoteles bildet bis zum heutigen Tag den Muttertext für unser Verständnis von Theater. Obligatorisches Wissen für jeden Theater-Kritiker und der Ausgangspunkt unserer Vorstellung bzw. deren Definitionen über notwendige Formen innerhalb von Geschichten.

Fils d'une famille de l'aristocratie athénienne, Platon semblait être destiné à occuper des responsabilités politiques de tout premier ordre. Mais sa rencontre avec Socrate bouleverse ces plans. À la mort du maître, il se consacre, via l'écriture et l'Académie qu'il fonde en 387, à la transmission de la pensée novatrice de Socrate.

In The Ajax Dilemma, Paul Woodruff examines one of today's most pressing moral issues: how to distribute rewards and public recognition without damaging the social fabric. How should we honor those whose behavior and achievement is essential to our overall success? Is it fair or right to lavish rewards on the superstar at the expense of the hardworking rank-and-file? How do we distinguish an impartial fairness from what is truly just?

Sympósion heißt Trinkgelage. Die Teilnehmer "lagerten" sich halb aufgerichtet auf einer "Klìne" - einer hochbeinigen Liege, die zwei bis drei Personen Platz bot. Trinkgefäße wurden herumgereicht. Man erzählte und diskutierte. Bei Platon versammeln sich Sokrátes, der Komödiendichter Aristophánes, der Politiker Alkibiádes, ein Arzt namens Eryxímachos, dessen Freund Phaídros, der junge preisgekrönte Tragödiendichter Agáthon und dessen älterer Liebhaber Pausanías.

Aristotle was the third key figure among the philosophers of Ancient Greece, after Socrates and Plato. Here, extensive sections of the main works for which he is still respected are given, following accessible introductions setting the scene.

L'Apologia di Socrate è un testo giovanile di Platone. Scritto tra il 399 e il 388 a.C., è la più credibile fonte di informazioni sul processo a Socrate, oltre a quella in cui la figura del vecchio filosofo è probabilmente meno rimaneggiata dall'autore.

In dem berühmten und hier erstmals als Hörbuch vorliegenden Werk über das Wesen des Guten aus dem Jahre 399 belehrt uns Augustinus, der große Kirchenvater und unermüdliche Vorkämpfer der Christenheit, über das Gute im Menschen und wie wir es in der Liebe zu Gott verwirklichen können.

Sokrates, etwa im Jahre 469 vor Christus geboren, wurde um Jahre 399 der Prozess gemacht. Ihm wurde wegen "Asebie", also Unfrömmigkeit, der Prozess gemacht und er wurde für schuldig erklärt. Unmittelbar an den Schuldspruch schloss sich eine zweite Verhandlung über das Strafmaß an. Die Ankläger hatten die Todesstrafe gefordert. Dem Angeklagten stand nach dem Gesetz das Recht zu, eine andere Strafe zu fordern, gleichzeitig aber seine Schuld anzuerkennen.

The Treasure was originally taken from the Second Temple in 69 AD, just before the Romans sacked Jerusalem and the Temple. The Treasure was split up and hidden in 64 different places in and around Jerusalem. Those locations were documented on the Copper Scroll found with the Dead Sea Scrolls. The first of these scrolls were found by Bedouins in caves at Qumran in 1947. The Copper Scroll was later found in cave number 3 by professionals in 1952.

The book is one of the most influential ethical treatises of all time. Written in 350 BC, it identifies happiness as life's goal. How do we achieve this goal? Not through the satisfactions that come from pleasure, wealth, or fame. According to Aristotle, the true path to happiness lies in contemplation of philosophic truth. This is the only action through which humans can exercise their distinctively unique trait: the ability to reason.

I am tired of relying on pharmaceuticals and chemicals to deal with everyday common illnesses, from a cold to a headache to high blood pressure. Every medication we use, no matter how common or well researched, comes with intended and unintended effects. Some of these, such as the intended effects, are desired, like pain relief when taking pain relief medication. The problem is the unintended effects these medications cause in the body.

Few philosophers have so extensively influenced thought and language as Aristotle. His conception of the universe pervades Christian theology. Knowledge of his thought is necessary to understand Bacon, Galileo and the modern scientific view of nature, as well as Dante and many passages from Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton. Many phrases such as "liberal education" and "theory" contrasted with "practice" originated with this student of Plato and tutor of Alexander the Great. Writing to inform the beginner and stimulate the expert, eminent scholar A.E. Taylor presents a searching analysis of Aristotle's thought, including classification of the sciences; formal logic; theory of knowledge; matter and form; the four causes; God; physics; biology; sensation; ethics; theory of the state; the fine arts. He also considers Aristotle's provincialism, errors regarding the nervous system and astronomy, and defense of slavery.

"Non si è mai troppo giovani né troppo vecchi per conoscere la felicità..." Inizia così il cammino verso la felicità secondo Epicuro...

Il Timeo, scritto intorno al 360 a. C. da Paltone, è il dialogo che ha maggiormente influito sulla filosofia e sulla scienza posteriori. In esso vengono approfonditi essenzialmente tre problemi: quello dell'origine dell'universo, quello della sua struttura materiale, ed infine quello della natura umana. Ai tre argomenti corrispondono altrettante parti in cui è possibile suddividere l'opera, alle quali va aggiunto il prologo.
