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.

"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.

The Apology of Socrates was written by Plato. In fact, it's a defensive speech of Socrates that he said in a court noted down by Plato. The main subject of the speech is a problem of the evil. Socrates insists that neither death nor death sentence is evil. We shouldn't be afraid of the death because we don't know anything about it. Socrates proved that the death shouldn't be taken as the evil with the following dilemma: the death is either a peace or a transit from this life to the next. Both can't be called evil. Consequently, the death shouldn't be treated as evil.

Most classical authors and modern historians depict the ancient Greek world as essentially stable and even static, once the so-called colonization movement came to an end. But Robert Garland argues that the Greeks were highly mobile, that their movement was essential to the survival, success, and sheer sustainability of their society, and that this wandering became a defining characteristic of their culture.
