Descubre la filosofía desde tu sofá: De Sócrates a Netflix te lleva en un viaje filosófico con ejemplos de la vida diaria y queridos personajes de la cultura pop. ¡La filosofía nunca fue tan accesible! "Sólo sé que nada sé y ni de eso estoy seguro". Es difícil creer que una frase muy conocida, parafraseada y con la que es tan fácil identificarse fue dicha hace miles de años. También es probable que la reconozcas, pero que no sepas quién la acuñó. La verdad es que en nuestro día a día nos enfrentamos a dilemas filosóficos y usamos distintos conceptos para resolverlos sin siquiera darnos cuenta.

Hoy día, el exceso de información, de transparencia y de rendimiento nos ha conducido a un tiempo incapaz de callar ni de concluir ningún proceso, un tiempo que ya no exhala ningún aroma. Pero el pensamiento no es posible sin silencio.

Nietzsche, um crítico mordaz da cultura ocidental, defende neste livro a tese de que os pensadores anteriores a Platão foram os únicos a compreender a dimensão trágica das forças que regem a vida dos homens (trata-se de um dos textos mais importantes sobre a filosofia pré-socrática). Se costumamos atribuir a Sócrates o início da filosofia, Nietzsche sugere, aqui, que talvez ela tenha justamente terminado com ele.

In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech.

Ve ne sarete accorti: il mondo è cambiato. Senza alcun preavviso. Gli uomini si depilano come modelle e le donne hanno schiene tatuate come i marinai. I cani vanno in giro con le scarpe, mentre il prof consulta lo smartphone con un paio di occhiali fluo. Sì, qualcosa è cambiato là fuori e, a furia di stropicciarsi gli occhi, si rischia lo strabismo (di Venere e pure di Marte). A chi rivolgersi dunque per chiedere spiegazioni? Allo chef a cinque stelle? Al tipo del meteo? All’industriale della scarpa? No di certo: alla grande filosofia occidentale, dalle origini a oggi.

Postmodernism claims that "modernity", which grew from the Enlightenment to the Industrial Revolution and Marxism, has collapsed.

What is virtue? What is moderation? What is justice? What is courage? What is good? What is piety? Socrates thought that understanding the perspectives of others on these six great questions would help him become a more excellent human being.

It's time to admit that we, the people of this planet, have lost faith in conventional tactics for maintaining order in the world. The time-tattered trio—violence, war, and self-serving politicians—have only made things worse. More importantly, we've lost faith in ourselves and the essential goodness of human nature.

Our Western cultural conversation, as invented by Plato, is made up of a dialectic between unity and diversity. Plato had thought to harmonize the unchangeableness of Parmenides with the constant change of the thinker Heraclitus. He invented this universe in which we have, up until now, been happily living. Unfortunately, the diversity/progressive side of this conversation has now destroyed whatever unity we could ever hope to have. The universe is kaput.
