Drawing on the wisdom of 2,500 years of contemplative non-religious writing on all that it means to be human - from the origins of the universe to small matters of courtesy and kindness in everyday life - A. C. Grayling, Britain's most popular philosopher, has created a secular bible. This book is designed as a narrative and also to be dipped into for inspiration, encouragement and consolation, The Good Book offers a thoughtful, non-religious alternative to the many people who do not follow one of the world's great religions.

Louis Markos, acclaimed author of From Plato to Christ and Passing the Torch, gives you a seat at his table for an international potluck dinner held in his home, where guests from many faith traditions and walks of life engage in spirited discussion about faith, miracles, and the meaning of life...

Today’s technology has overtaken religion as the chief influence on twenty-first century life and community. In Tech Agnostic, Harvard and MIT’s influential humanist chaplain Greg Epstein explores what it means to be a critical thinker with respect to this new faith. Encouraging listeners to reassert their common humanity beyond the seductive sheen of “tech,” this book argues for tech agnosticism—not worship—as a way of life.

Au moment où il écrit La Vie heureuse et De la Providence, Sénèque est un homme vieillissant, immensément riche, au terme d'une carrière politique et littéraire exceptionnelle. Ces deux textes prennent la forme de lettres : l'une adressée à son frère aîné, l'autre à l'un de ses plus proches disciples. Comment vivre en philosophe dans un monde où la sagesse n'est pas souveraine mais précaire ? Comment demeurer libre lorsque la fortune, le pouvoir ou la peur menacent à chaque instant de tout emporter ?

Dall'indimenticabile ingegnere-filosofo partenopeo, un autore da 20 milioni di copie. «In questo libro pongo 4 grandi domande: 1 Esiste Dio? 2 Esiste il Destino? 3 Che cos'è il tempo? 4 Che cos'è lo spazio? A esse cerco di trovare, se non proprio una risposta, almeno un tentativo di risposta.»

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.

Comment expliquer le succès tardif mais réel, le retentissement subit de la philosophie de Schopenhauer ? C'est qu'il est possédé de la folie de son temps, cette folie que l'on a si justement appelée la maladie du pessimisme, ou encore la maladie du siècle, der Weltschmerz, la douleur du monde, cette folie qui compte tant de victimes, de Werther à René, de Childe-Harold à Rolla, et d'illustres malades : Byron, Musset, Henri Heine, rieurs attristés, viveurs blasés, sceptiques nuageux, révoltés lyriques qui adorent la vie et la maudissent. Schopenhauer est le théoricien de cette école de poètes.

This book thoroughly and calmly examines all the arguments and associated considerations offered in support of religious belief, and does so in full consciousness of the reasons people have for subscribing to religion, and the needs they seek to satisfy by doing so. And because it takes account of all the issues, its solutions carry great weight. The God Argument is the definitive examination of the issue, and a statement of the humanist outlook that recommends itself as the ethics of the genuinely reflective person.

Cette version audio vous invite à pénétrer dans le Jardin d'Épicure, père d'une philosophie qui, de nos jours, continue de nourrir notre perception du monde extérieur et de notre monde intérieur. Physicien autant que philosophe, il a pourtant bâti un système d'une intelligence merveilleuse qui lie l'infiniment petit, les atomes, à l'infiniment grand, les planètes. Il le déploie avec clarté à travers trois grands ensembles de textes, des lettres à ses disciples, des sentences et enfin des maximes : de la forme la plus développée à la plus concise, que vous pourrez écouter dans leur intégralité.

Is faith just wishful thinking, or can belief in God stand up to reason? In Is Belief Believable?, Christopher Kaczor challenges the idea that faith and reason are incompatible. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and psychology, Kaczor offers clear and compelling arguments that address...

In diesen Aufzeichnungen ringt er mit Fragen nach Tugend, Gelassenheit und der Vergänglichkeit des Lebens – Worte, die bis heute als Schlüsseltexte der stoischen Philosophie gelten. Aurels Gedanken sind zugleich Lebensratgeber, philosophische Meditation und eindrucksvolle Zeitzeugnisse – ein Werk von unvergänglicher Bedeutung. Selbstbetrachtungen (2. Jh. n. Chr.) sind das Vermächtnis des römischen Kaisers und Philosophen Marc Aurel.

Collana: Perle di saggezza. L’incontro con un Maestro è un colpo di fulmine. All’improvviso si avverte una completezza che è, infondo, il senso ultimo anche del comune innamoramento; ovvero la ricerca dell’unità perduta, comegià ipotizzava Platone.Osho offre una narrazione più attuale, spiegando che “l’essere umano nasce consapevole, e in seguitosi addormenta. Nasce integro, e in seguito si fraziona in mille identità. L’uomo nasce in quantoindividuo, ma poi cade addormentato e sogna di essere una folla.Il problema dell’essere umano è tutto qui, ed è qui che si annida la sfida della vita.

This book refutes the concept of Religious Equality from many aspects. For the agnostic or secular or irreligious or anti-religious this book proves how everyone is upon a religious faith even if they don't know it and that it is impossible to not have a religion. Also the importance of choosing a religion is established as the most important decision one can make and the concept that all religions are equal is a extremist false faith.

The most important work of the devotio moderna movement, Thomas à Kempis’s classic, The Imitation of Christ, is saturated with Scripture and classical philosophy and reveals a deep understanding of human nature. Matthew Arnold called it “the most exquisite document, after those of the New Testament, of all that the Christian spirit has ever inspired.”
