Roman Philosophy

Sense and Sensibilia is a work of the Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle, included in the collection Parva Naturalia. The Parva Naturalia (a conventional Latin title first used by Giles of Rome: "short treatises on nature") are a collection of seven works by Aristotle, which discuss natural phenomena involving the body and the soul. They form parts of Aristotle's biology.

The Menexenus is a Socratic dialogue of Plato, traditionally included in the seventh tetralogy along with the Greater and Lesser Hippias and the Ion. The speakers are Socrates and Menexenus, who is not to be confused with Socrates' son Menexenus. The Menexenus of Plato's dialogue appears also in the Lysis, where he is identified as the "son of Demophon", as well as the Phaedo. The Menexenus consists mainly of a lengthy funeral oration, referencing the one given by Pericles in Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War.

The Laches is a Socratic dialogue written by Plato. Participants in the discourse present competing definitions of the concept of courage or "manliness".

Поли́тика — трактат Аристотеля о государстве, содержащий начала социальной и политической философии. Трактат написан в последние годы (335—322 до н. э.) жизни Аристотеля в Афинах, попавших под влияние Македонии. В книге рассматриваются проблемы семьи как ячейки государства, рабства, гражданства, определения государства, а также форм его правления и целей.

Crito is a dialogue that was written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It depicts a conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito of Alopece regarding justice, injustice, and the appropriate response to injustice after Socrates's imprisonment, which is chronicled in the Apology. In Crito, Socrates believes injustice may not be answered with injustice, personifies the Laws of Athens to prove this, and refuses Crito's offer to finance his escape from prison. The dialogue contains an ancient statement of the social contract theory of government.

Die Inschrift auf dem Orakel von Delphi lautet: »Nichts im Übermaß«. Das ist leicht gesagt, aber schwer zu praktizieren – und wenn es schon 300 v. Chr. schwer war, so ist es heute fast unmöglich. Und doch ist die Selbstdisziplin die stärkste und wichtigste Tugend, die jeder von uns lernen kann. Ohne sie können wir unsere Lebensziele nicht erreichen. Ryan Holiday beschreibt im 2. Band der Reihe über die vier stoischen Tugenden, wie wir Willenskraft, Mäßigung und Selbstkontrolle – also Disziplin – in unserem Leben kultivieren können.

Die Politeia besteht insgesamt aus 10 Büchern.

A partir de uma história repleta de simbologias, Platão nos apresenta conceitos e situações que visam a busca pelo conhecimento em contraste com a ignorância e a manipulação. O enredo integra o livro VII de A República e destaca um diálogo entre Sócrates e Glauco. As personagens imaginam uma situação hipotética em que várias pessoas são mantidas acorrentadas no fundo de uma caverna escura subterrânea. Dessa forma, a “caverna” representa o nosso mundo interior, nossas limitações e a chamada zona de conforto.

"В чому наше благо? Вибрані думки римського філософа" — збірка творів, що належать перу давньогрецького філософа Епіктета. До неї увійшли "Афоризми" і трактат В чому наше благо? Це роздуми відомого, зрештою, провідного, проповідника стоїцизму від класичної грецької школи про сенс життя і природу, про моральність, щастя і свободу особистості. Власне, роздуми Епіктета — це підвалини філософського напрямку самовдосконалення і саморозвитку. Епіктет вважав, що людина повинна розділити усі речі і обставини на залежні від неї і незалежні. У першому випадку мужньо виконувати свій обов'язок, решту — ігнорувати.

"Das Glück ist mit den Tapferen" – alle großen Führungspersönlichkeiten der Geschichte haben das gewusst und waren erfolgreich, weil sie sich trauten, Risiken einzugehen. Heute jedoch sind so viele Menschen durch Angst vor den Hindernissen und Herausforderungen im Leben wie gelähmt.

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.
