A partir del siglo V a. JV. (aprox.) el pueblo griego se convierte, no sólo en el mejor creador artístico de su época, sino en el mejor creador artístico de la historia, o al menos en uno de los dos o tres más cualificados y conocidos. Nadie puede estudiar arte sin conocer la producción artística del clasicismo heleno que aquí vamos a mostrar muy brevemente, con algunas de las obras que se han convertido en símbolo artístico de todos los tiempos.

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!

¿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.

Epicteto foi um conferencista que não deixou escritos filosóficos. Felizmente, os aspectos principais de sua filosofia foram preservados para as gerações futuras por um de seus dedicados alunos, o historiador Flávio Arriano. Arriano transcreveu meticulosamente em grego um número considerável de palestras de seu mestre para um amigo. Essas palestras, conhecidas como os Discursos [ou Diatribes], foram originalmente reunidas em oito livros, dos quais apenas quatro subsistiram até nossos dias.

Darrow was a professor at Harvard, a prominent theosophist, and the author of numerous works on philosophy. In this piece he examines primarily the Republic, from a theosophical standpoint, in an attempt to show that many scholars have misinterpreted Plato's relationship with the arts. Darrow states that Plato's belief was that the only true art is a life well lived, with the ultimate aim being to create a heaven on Earth.
