Richard David Precht widmet sich den großen Vordenkern der Moderne: Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Sigmund Freud, Martin Heidegger, Max Horkheimer, Ludwig Wittgenstein u. v. a. Die Moderne provoziert die Philosophie! Der Raum als feste Größe der Physik verliert an Bedeutung, die Frage, was Materie ist, erscheint auf einmal erstaunlich unklar. Ebenso unklar ist die Frage, was Leben ist, und auch das Bewusstsein wird zunehmend zum Rätsel. Mit Sigmund Freuds Psychoanalyse übernimmt das Unbewusste die Herrschaft über den Menschen und fordert die altehrwürdige Vernunftphilosophie heraus.

An Büchern zur Philosophiegeschichte besteht weiß Gott kein Mangel. Und so ist August Messers philosophiehistorischer Abriss in 5 Bänden eben nur einer von Dutzenden lesbaren Versuchen, einen ersten Überblick über die Ideenwelt des Abendlandes zu bieten. Statt den Leser auf ausgedehnte philosophische Exkurse mitzunehmen, bleibt er auf dem Hauptweg und präsentiert uns die Geschichte der Philosophie in ihren Hauptströmungen und wichtigsten Repräsentanten. Diesem Konzept bleibt er auch im zweiten Teil zur Philosophie im Mittelalter treu.

Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder, and the first Western philosophers developed theories of the world which express simultaneously their sense of wonder and their intuition that the world should be comprehensible. But their enterprise was by no means limited to this proto-scientific task. Through, for instance, Heraclitus's enigmatic sayings, the poetry of Parmenides and Empedocles, and Zeno's paradoxes, the Western world was introduced to metaphysics, rationalist theology, ethics, and logic.

Para Spinoza, Deus é eterno e infinito. Sendo infinito, nós não podemos limitá-lo. Ele tem que estar em nós, pois se não estivesse, nós limitaríamos Deus. Embora Spinoza fosse judeu, seu conceito de Deus não é o mesmo do judaísmo. Por isso, o autor fez uma separação entre o Deus de Spinoza e o Deus Judeu.

Scopri la forza del passato per illuminare il tuo presente: un’epica lezione di saggezza e nobiltà. Scopri i segreti perduti della Cavalleria medievale e lasciati ispirare dalla sua saggezza millenaria, che ancora permea le nostre vite quotidiane.

Wie der Name des Dialogs es bereits ankündigt, geht es im "Sophistes" um eine genauere Bestimmung desselben. Ausgehend von der Frage, was denn das Wesen des Sophisten sei, vertieft Platon einmal mehr das die griechische Philosophie beschäftigende Thema von Sein und Nicht-Sein, von Wirklichkeit und Schein, von wahren und falschen Bildern. Dabei bildet die parmenideische Philosophie den Hintergrund, vor dem der junge Theätetos und der anonyme Gast aus Elea die eben genannten Themen im "Sophistes" diskutieren.

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

What unites Google and Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, Siemens and GE, Uber and Airbnb? Across a wide range of sectors, these firms are transforming themselves into platforms: businesses that provide the hardware and software foundation for others to operate on. This transformation signals a major shift in how capitalist firms operate and how they interact with the rest of the economy: the emergence of platform capitalism. This book critically examines these new business forms.

Pragmatism, America's homegrown philosophy, has been a major intellectual movement for over a century. Unlike its rivals, it reaches well beyond the confines of philosophy into concerns and disciplines as diverse as religion, politics, science, and culture. In this concise, engagingly written overview, John R. Shook describes pragmatism's origins, concepts, and continuing global relevance and appeal.

These three ‘Consolations', written by Seneca to his mother and two friends, have been described as ‘the crowning achievement in the canon of ‘consolation letters'. But sentimental they are not, for they emerge from the writer's deep-seated commitment to Stoicism, where individuals are exhorted to inhabit qualities of virtue, positivity, resilience, and indifference. This recording opens with Seneca's consolatory letter to Marcia, who, after three years, was still mourning the death of her son.

Слава виднейшего политического, государственного и военного деятеля Гая Юлия Цезаря и по сей день является нравственно-политическим ориентиром для многих политиков.

There are times when we've all felt that we haven't been treated as we deserve—that we've been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we've treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help listeners better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life—how to do right by others.

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is one of the greatest guides to human flourishing ever written, but its length and style have left many readers languishing. How to Flourish is a colloquial new translation by Susan Sauve Meyer that makes Aristotle's timeless insights about how to lead a good life more engaging and accessible than ever before.

The influence of Plato, his Dialogues and his ‘Academy', cast a long shadow. Around 35 Dialogues, almost all featuring Socrates as the principal figure, are generally ascribed to Plato and form one of the most important threads in Western philosophy. These four Dialogues may fall into the ‘Attributed Texts' category, but they are of sufficient interest to warrant study in our time and when set against the principal canon.

The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as ‘On Benefits'. However, it is more usefully titled ‘On Favours', because this is what it is essentially about: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions.
