Greek Philosophy

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.

"The golden tractate" (Aureus) by Hermes Trismegistus is a classic text of Hermetic and ancient Philosophy about natural and divine magic; it will strongly influence the later Alchemic literature. The Golden Tractate of Hermes, first created in the Renaissance and rendered into English in 1850, is one of a number of texts from its era attempting to explain alchemy, along with the works of Pontanus and Artephius.

Para Spinoza, Deus é eterno e infinito. Sendo infinito, nós não podemos limitá-lo. Ele tem que estar em nós, pois se não estivesse, nós limitaríamos Deus. Embora Spinoza fosse judeu, seu conceito de Deus não é o mesmo do judaísmo. Por isso, o autor fez uma separação entre o Deus de Spinoza e o Deus Judeu.

The Phaedrus by Plato, is a dialogue between Plato's protagonist, Socrates, and Phaedrus, an interlocutor in several dialogues. It was probably written around 370 BC, at about the same time as Plato's Republic and Symposium. Ostensibly about love, the discussion in the dialogue focuses on the art of rhetoric and how it ought to be practiced. The dialogue appears in the direct words of Socrates and Phaedrus, without an introduction.

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Lao Tzu. The text's authorship, date of composition, and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China.

Platone ha inventato un grande rimedio per la follia: la ragione! In questo breve, denso e illuminante saggio, Umberto Galimberti muove dai Greci per giungere fino a noi e alla relazione che ci costituisce. Il Simposio, il più bel testo che mai sia stato scritto sull'amore, ci guida ancora a scoprire la mediazione che l'amore realizza tra la follia e la ragione. È attraverso l'amore che entriamo in contatto con la nostra follia: ci innamoriamo, infatti, proprio di chi è riuscito a intercettarla e a presentarla a noi stessi.

La misteriosa natura del bello, a cui faceva riferimento Simone Weil, non è puramente estetica, cioè riconducibile a questioni di gusto. Essa è piuttosto ontologica ed etica, strettamente unita com'è al vero, al giusto e al bene. È questo il senso della bellezza che si ritrova nei testi classici della grecità, da Omero a Saffo ai tragici. Umberto Curi vi si sofferma ampiamente in questo suo saggio, che ha al centro l'analisi del rapporto tra bellezza e tempo.

The greatest philosopher who ever lived. A dissolute tyrant in need of an education. What could possibly go wrong? Plato was the most brilliant thinker of his age. Head of the Academy in Athens, friend of the best minds of his generation, his philosophy was famous across the Greek world. But would he ever get the chance to try his ideas out?

Il filosofo romano scrive all'amico Lucillo, e gli racconta l'animo umano. Le sue caratteristiche, i suoi vizi e le sue virtù. Come un esploratore dei sentimenti più intimi, e un gran conoscitore delle numerose sfaccettature che compongono i pensieri e i comportamenti degli esseri umani, Seneca indica una via possibile per vivere in armonia con se stessi e con gli altri, attraverso la riscoperta della consapevolezza di quello che davvero conta.

Pupil of the great Plato, teacher of Alexander the Great, Aristotle is a massively influential figure in Western philosophy. Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold". Modern ethics are based on his ideas about virtue; his writings literally encompassed all the scientific knowledge of the time and beyond, so much that many of his findings were still considered cutting-edge many century afterwards. Aristotle also shaped modern logic, and put his mark on all subsequent philosophy and theology.

Die griechische Kultur und ihre Geschichte waren so einflussreich, dass sie eine bedeutende Wirkung auf uns moderne Menschen in der ganzen Welt haben. Die alten Griechen hoben die Demokratie aus der Wiege, ein politisches System, das weit verbreitet ist und von manchen für die beste Form der Regierung gehalten wird. Große Geister aus Griechenland machten unglaubliche und bedeutende Entdeckungen, wie z.B. die Wassermühle, die Grundlagen der Geometrie und die Anwendung der Medizin, um Krankheiten zu heilen.
