Story
Es gibt diese Sätze, die jeder kennt. Kein Wunder, dass sie unser Weltbild bis heute beeinflussen. Nur: Kaum jemand weiß, woher sie stammen, wie sie ursprünglich gemeint waren – und was ihnen im Laufe der Zeit zugestoßen ist. Bruno Preisendörfer begibt sich auf eine erstaunliche und spannende Spurensuche. Berühmten Zitaten geht es oft wie literarischen Figuren: So wie diese ihren Herkunftsbüchern entlaufen, verlassen jene ihre Entstehungskontexte und beginnen bei ihrer jahrhundertelangen Wanderung durch die Köpfe der Menschen ein Eigenleben.

Story
The Discourses of Epictetus is a series of informal lectures by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, compiled by his pupil Arrian. The Stoic emphasis on endurance, self-restraint, and the power of the will to withstand calamity could often appear cold and inhuman. Epictetus, however, offers the most humane interpretation of Stoic ideals by using humor, imaginary conversations, and homely comparisons to put his message across.

Story
When Athenians suffered the shame of having lost a war from their own greed and foolishness, around 404 BCE the public's blame was directed at Socrates, a man whose unique appearance and behavior, as well as his disapproval of the democracy, made him a ready target. Socrates was subsequently put on trial and sentenced to death. However, as René Girard has pointed out, no individual can be held responsible for a communal crisis.

Thomas Taylor was the first to translate the complete works of Plato into English and as such, a prominent Neoplatonist of his day. He wrote prolifically and his huge body of work has been influential on generations of writers and thinkers that followed him. Here he presents us with a concise summary of Platonic philosophy in the form of a creed. It is not intended to be heard as dogma, so much as it is a guide for students and thinkers alike.

Story
Laches, a general in the Athenian army, saw Socrates fight bravely in the battle of Delium. When he and Nicias, another general, are asked to explain the idea of courage, they are at a loss and words fail them. How does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can a lion be said to be courageous? What about small children who have little idea of the dangers they face? Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad consequences?

Story
The world isn’t coming to an end, contrary to what you may have heard. But the media’s near-exclusive focus on conflict and disaster means that the progress and everyday acts of brilliance taking place across the globe go unnoticed. Jurriaan Kamp shows that optimism - intelligent optimism, not a rose-colored-glasses brand of wishful thinking - is good for not only your mind but your body too. He details a whole host of health problems that can actually be linked to pessimism.

Story
Gehörte der "Menon" in der Antike zu einem der viel gelesenen und ausgedeuteten Dialoge Platons, zählt er heute eher zu den weniger bekannten Dialogen. Dabei enthält er viele wesentliche Aussagen Platons zu Erkenntnistheorie, Heuristik, Ethik und Seinslehre. Im "Menon" veranschaulicht uns Platon, wie all diese Bereiche, die heute gern getrennt voneinander gelehrt und erforscht werden, bei ihm noch unzertrennbar zusammengehören. Paraphrasierend könnte man mit Platons "Menon" sagen: "Ja, Tugend ist lehrbar.

Story
Zufällig trifft Sokrates einen Freund auf der Straße. Ein Gespräch entspinnt sich, in dem Sokrates von seiner Begegnung mit dem weithin bekannten Sophisten Protagoras erzählt. So kurz der Handlungsrahmen wiederzugeben ist, so inhaltsreich das, was Platon in diesem frühen Dialog seinen Lesern zu bieten hat. Im Protagoras lässt Platon Sokrates sich erstmalig mit den Sophisten streiten. Überdeutlich tritt zutage, wo zwischen sokratischer Dialektik und sophistischem Denksport die Unterschiede liegen.

Get the summary of William B. Irvine's The Stoic Challenge. The Stoics believed that we have the ability to be flexible in our reactions to adversity. They discovered that when we view setbacks as tests of our character instead of misfortunes, we’re able to dramatically change our emotional response to them and develop the ability to stay calm in the face of adversity.

René Kraus realiza impagables descripciones del filósofo, de algunos de sus célebres contemporáneos y del ambiente de la ciudad y la época, subrayando la tesis que subyace en esta obra: que los seres excepcionales, incluso cuando son incomprendidos y maltratados en vida, terminan imponiendo su elevado ejemplo moral y proporcionan a la humanidad un horizonte de civilización.
