Forte di questa convinzione, Cristina Dell'Acqua ci conduce in un nuovo viaggio nel mondo greco, per imparare a sentire socraticamente. Nel pensiero di quest'uomo straordinario, che nella vita non ha mai smesso di insegnare (fu la sua missione), ci sono i semi della nascita dell'uomo occidentale. Il suo insegnamento si fonda sui temi della ricerca, della libertà, del dialogo e del dubbio. Una formula che ha come nutrimento l'amore per le domande e parte da un unico presupposto: la conoscenza di sé.

Active Silence explores a forgotten form of strength: the ability to pause, observe, and think clearly before speaking. It is a modern Stoic guide to mastering the inner space where calm judgment, emotional discipline, and strategic clarity are formed. This audiobook invites the listener to rediscover silence as a deliberate act of intelligence. True thinkers, effective leaders, and resilient minds understand that power does not come from speaking more — it comes from thinking better.

Story0
Marcus Tullius Cicero war Redner, Politiker und Philosoph. Im alten Rom nahm er eine Sonderstellung ein – er galt als „pater patriae" – Vater des Vaterlandes, nachdem er als oberster Magistrat der Republik die Verschwörung des Catilina niedergeschlagen hatte. Auch als Philosoph war Cicero bekannt: In seiner kleinen Schrift Paradoxa Stoicorum befasst er sich mit moralphilosophischen Lehrsätzen, die seiner Meinung nach „im Widerspruch zum herrschenden Bewusstsein des Durchschnittsmenschen" (paradoxos: wider die gewöhnliche Meinung) waren.

Story0
Radical Antiquity takes you on a unique journey in search of anarchy, statelessness, and social experimentation in the Graeco-Roman world. Sweeping across the Mediterranean from the time of the first Olympic Games in 776 BCE until the emergence of Islam in 610 CE, Christopher B. Zeichmann introduces the listener to communities of escaped enslaved people, pirates, and religious sects—all of whom sought a more egalitarian way of life that avoided the coercion, hierarchy, and exploitation of the state.
