Fils d'une famille de l'aristocratie athénienne, Platon semblait être destiné à occuper des responsabilités politiques de tout premier ordre. Mais sa rencontre avec Socrate bouleverse ces plans. À la mort du maître, il se consacre, via l'écriture et l'Académie qu'il fonde en 387, à la transmission de la pensée novatrice de Socrate.

Sujet d'intense fascination, le Marquis de Sade a acquis au fil des décennies une image qui relève du mythe. En occultant, détournant et justifiant les faits historiques, de nombreux intellectuels du XXème siècle interprètent avec complaisance la vie et la littérature du Marquis jusqu'à l'ériger en symbole. Briseur de tabous, libérateur de la sexualité, Révolutionnaire et féministe avant l'heure ? La réalité du personnage est autre.

Despite new revelations about Heidegger's anti-Semitism, writes Madsbjerg, the philosopher's work still stands on its own. Fried replies.

Living Up There is a memoir of time lived mostly at 10,000 feet in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in a home-made cabin. Inimitably personal, it is written with the sensibility of a loving field biologist and human wonderer. This audiobook holds obvious relations with two literary-cultural traditions: first, that of journal memoirs of days spent intentionally removed from the speed and ease and at least some of the understood contracts of "civilization," two of whose best known for bears are Henry David Thoreau's Walden and Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek; and second, that of retreat to the natural basis of the world following the attainment of certain age and completion of responsibility cycles of family and livelihood.

An extraordinary personal testament to the life and times of one of America's great naturalists and literary figures, written by Edward Waldo Emerson, son of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau's friend and mentor. It is perhaps the best short introduction to Thoreau's life and times. "To his lonely happiness the world will owe the best gifts he has left" - Edward Waldo Emerson. Henry Thoreau left society at the age of 28 to live for two years and two months in the woods by his own means. He did this in order that when it came time for him to die he would not discover "that he had not lived".

Der Klassiker über das Aussteigerleben und ein radikales Selbstexperiment in der Natur: Der 28-jährige Henry D. Thoreau zog sich 1845 an den Walden-See in eine einsame Waldregion Massachusetts in eine selbstgebaute Blockhütte zurück, um zwei Jahre lang ein Leben fernab der industrialisierten Zivilisation zu leben. Bis heute ist dieses sprachlich versierte Buch, das auf Thoreaus Tagebucheinträgen basiert, für alle interessant, die einen alternativen Lebensstil erstreben.

Jørgen K.’s korte liv kom til at centrere sig om Det teologiske fakultet i Århus, hvor han tog sin uddannelse og havde sit virke. Han interesserede sig især for fire områder: videnskabsteori og hermeneutik, herunder digtningens rolle; teologi og religiøs tro; menneskesynet, hin enkelte, ikke mindst som det bliver reflekteret hos Søren Kierkegaard; og endelig synet på samfundet og institutionerne. Men det var karakteristisk for ham. at han tænkte bredere og spændte videre end alle andre i sin tid.

La filosofia di Berdjaev (1874-1948) è una delle più profonde affermazioni dell'esistenzialismo cristiano e risente dell'influsso di Dostoevskij. In particolare, la lettura della leggenda del "Grande Inquisitore" (che compare nei fratelli Karamazov sotto forma di racconto pensato da Ivan ed esposto ad Alëša) è stato un passo fondamentale per il filosofo russo, in quanto inserisce nella sua filosofia della storia, caratterizzata da una visione teologica, la riflessione sulla libertà.

Una vita esemplare e un pensiero folgorante. Eugenio Borgna ha trascorso molto della sua vita in dialogo con gli scritti di Simone Weil, che hanno saputo offrirgli infinite suggestioni per il suo cammino di medico e psichiatra, impegnato nell'ascolto e nella condivisione della sofferenza e della speranza.

I could have written a book about my path of healing from the severe physical and sexual abuse I endured in childhood. I could have written a book about my professional life in intelligence and security, and what it taught me about what goes on in the shadows of power (state and corporate). I could have written a book about my lifelong journey into mysticism, yoga, shamanism and the occult, and articulated the powerful realizations I have stumbled into along the way.

Stefan Zweig war nicht nur meisterhafter Novellist, er schrieb auch ungeheuer lesenswerte biographische Miniaturen. Im Werk "Der Kampf mit dem Dämon" erzählt er von drei Autoren, deren Genialität sie an den Rand des Wahnsinns brachte – und darüber hinaus. In diesem Hörbuch geht es um den Philosophen Friedrich Nietzsche, dessen Innerstes Zweig freilegt, als sei die Feder ein Skalpell.

Wiserwoof presents The Stoics Collection. In this first release we give you a collection of the best Epictetus quotes. Epictetus was born nearly 2,000 years ago in Hierapolis (present-day Pamukkale in Turkey) as a slave in a wealthy household. Epaphroditus, his owner, gave him the permission to pursue liberal studies and it is how Epictetus discovered philosophy through the Stoic Musonius Rufus who became his teacher and mentor. Later, Epictetus obtained his freedom shortly after emperor Nero’s death and started teaching philosophy in Rome for nearly 25 years.

In Simply Chomsky, Professor Raphael Salkie provides a compact, user-friendly introduction to Noam Chomsky’s political activism and his groundbreaking work in linguistics. Unlike most Chomsky studies, Prof. Salkie not only covers the essentials of Chomsky’s thought and accomplishments, but also explores his most recent concerns - including the climate crisis, the threat of nuclear holocaust, and current geopolitical hotspots - which are often very different from the topics that preoccupied him decades ago.

『집으로 가는 길은 어디서라도 멀지 않다』는 정확하고 간결한 글 솜씨로 법정 스님을 잇는 문장가라는 평을 듣기도 한 원철스님이 2011년 산사로 돌아간 뒤 처음 펴낸 산문집이다. 이 책은 스님의 일상과 수행, 공부, 여행 단상을 담았다. 누구나의 일상과 다를 바 없지만, 힐링과 충고에 지친 사람들에게 맑은 차 한 잔 같은 '쉼', 그리고 반짝이는 '깨우침'을 함께 느낄 수 있다.
