Roman Philosophy

"El tiempo que tenemos no es corto; pero perdiendo mucho de él, hacemos que lo sea, y la vida es suficiente- mente larga para ejecutar en ella cosas grandes, si la empleáremos bien."... "La brevedad de la vida" es un tratado filosófico a la vez fundamental y moderno sobre nuestra relación con el tiempo.

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.

In an age when philosophers had scarcely glimpsed the horizons of the mind, a boy named Aristocles decided to forgo his ambitions as a wrestler. Adopting the nickname Plato, he embarked instead on a life in philosophy. In 387 B.C. he founded the Academy, the world's first university, and taught his students that all we see is not reality but merely a reproduction of the true source. And in his famous Republic he described the politics of "the highest form of state."

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.

Aristotle's Poetics is best known for its definition and analysis of tragedy and comedy, but it also applies to truth and beauty as they are manifested in the other arts. In our age, when the natural and social sciences have dominated the quest for truth, it is helpful to consider why Aristotle claimed: "poetry is more philosophical and more significant than history." Like so many other works by Aristotle, the Poetics has dominated the way we have thought about all forms of dramatic performance in Europe and America ever since.

Epiktet war einer der Hauptvertreter der Philosophie der Stoa, und als solcher äußerst einflussreich. Sein "Handbuch" ist ein Leitfaden für praktische Philosophie und bietet einen präzise formulierten Leitfaden für eine ethische Lebensführung. Ein sehr alter Text - doch immer noch hochaktuell!!

"Cine sunt eu?" este o întrebare esențială. De multe ori, răspunsurile pe care ni le oferim sunt formulate pe baza interpretărilor asupra trecutului ori pornind de la ceea ce cred alții că suntem sau ar trebui să fim. Ne identificăm altfel cu ficțiuni proprii sau cu ale altora. Ficțiunea Sinelui e, însă, doar răspunsul iluzoriu la întrebarea privitoare la adevăratul Eu, ne spune Eckhart Tolle. Adevărul ființei mele este prezentul - acel "Acum" în care mă deschid spre marele și tainicul Întreg.

"Mi-am propus sa va vorbesc despre minciuna, ceea ce înseamna despre un lucru pur omenesc: numai omul poate minti, pentru ca numai omul are parte de un "lucru" care poate sa exprime si care, exprimând, se poate misca în doua directii total opuse: adevarul si falsul intentionat. Acest "lucru" este limba. Voi vorbi despre minciuna nu în sensul ei "privat", ci în cel "public", asadar voi vorbi despre minciuna colectiva, în care unul sau mai multi îi mint pe multi care la rândul lor sunt fie mintiti, fie mint in corpore, traind împreuna cu cei care îi mint, într-un vast scenariu al minciunii." (Gabriel Liiceanu)

"Nimeni nu traieste cu adevarat daca nu cade sub o forma sau alta de seductie. De fapt, oamenii ramân cel mai adesea acolo unde specia îi asaza: (în "bancul de heringi", de care vorbea un filozof danez), acolo unde se traieste dupa regula tuturor. Acolo ne instalam cu totii din clipa în care venim pe lume si tot acolo ramânem, cei mai multi dintre noi, pâna la sfârsit."

Gabriel Liiceanu: Sa acceptam ca exista gânditori în fata carora te poti "preda", ca gândurile lor, în loc sa fie "digerate pâna la a li se pierde urma", devin totodata, deîndata ce le expui si interpretezi, calea ta privilegiata de acces la lucruri. Nu exista nici o garantie ca numai drumul drept te poate duce la tinta. Exista si ocoluri convenabile. Asa cum exista si exegeze mincinoase. Citezi, sistematizezi, explici. Dar o faci pe fondul unui travesti mental: lasându-l pe celalalt sa vorbeasca, vorbesti si tu odata cu el.

Beginning with Charlemagne, the great and educated king who would serve as an inspiration for world leaders from Frederick II to Adolf Hitler, the Holy Roman Empire’s intricate ties with the Roman Catholic Church would provide for plenty of excitement and drama in its early years. However, as the empire staggered through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, it would eventually be forced to declare its allegiance with a new way of thinking: Protestantism.

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 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.
