Перед вами философский трактат, написанный Платоном, в котором он приводит слова своего учителя Сократа во время судебного процесса в Афинах.

Сократу предъявляли обвинения по нескольким пунктам: богохульство и отрицательное влияние его учений на молодёжь.

В «Апологии» Сократ защищает свои убеждения, ценности и образ жизни, произнося три речи: первую — после обвинений, вторую — после признания его виновным, третью — после вынесения смертного приговора.

Qui étaient vraiment les sophistes, ces maîtres de parole capables d'enthousiasmer la jeunesse athénienne et d'inquiéter Socrate, Platon ou Aristote ? Cet ouvrage clair et vivant dévoile l'univers de Protagoras, Gorgias, Hippias et Prodicos : leurs idées, leur influence et les débats décisifs qu'ils ont ouverts sur la vérité, la justice, la démocratie ou le pouvoir du langage. Entre relativisme, scepticisme et invention d'une nouvelle éthique, les sophistes ont posé les bases d'une pensée lucide et pragmatique, dont les échos résonnent encore aujourd'hui.

Philosophe discret menant une vie d'une régularité quasi légendaire, Emmanuel Kant n'en demeure pas moins l'un des penseurs les plus audacieux et les plus décisifs de l'histoire de la philosophie.

Cet ouvrage clair et accessible offre une introduction lumineuse à son œuvre.

Life, Death, and Immortality: Exploring the Eternal Journey of the Soul. Phaedo by Plato is one of the philosopher’s most important dialogues, exploring profound themes such as the nature of the soul, immortality, and the afterlife.

“Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius is a timeless collection of philosophical reflections written by the Roman Emperor during moments of solitude and self-examination. Rooted in Stoic philosophy, the work explores themes such as self-discipline, mortality, resilience, and the pursuit of virtue amidst the burdens of leadership. This edition features the classic English translation by Meric Casaubon, whose 17th-century prose preserves the gravity, elegance, and moral clarity of the original text.

Dialogul Despre mânie aşează o oglindă în faţa omului mâniat şi-i arată chipul strâmb şi negru. Un chip care nu mai este al unui om. Ca să nu te pierzi în acest război cu tine însuţi, învaţă să nu-l începi. Este în puterea ta, pentru că "mânia nu îndrăzneşte nimic singură, ci doar cu acordul sufletului".

If recent history has taught us anything, it's that sometimes the best guide to leadership is the negative example. But that insight is hardly new. Nearly 2,000 years ago, Suetonius wrote Lives of the Caesars, perhaps the greatest negative leadership book of all time. In How to Be a Bad Emperor, Josiah Osgood provides crisp new translations of Suetonius's briskly paced, darkly comic biographies of the Roman emperors Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Caligula, and Nero. Entertaining and shocking, these ancient anti-role models show how power inflames leaders' worst tendencies.

How to Have Willpower brings together two profound ancient meditations on how to overcome pressures that encourage us to act against our own best interests—Plutarch's essay On Dysopia or How to Resist Pressure and Prudentius's poetic allegory Psychomachia or How to Slay Your Demons. Challenging the idea that humans are helpless victims of vice, these works—introduced and presented in vivid, accessible new prose translations by Michael Fontaine—emphasize the power of personal choice and the possibility of personal growth, as they offer insights and practical advice about resisting temptation.

Texte apocryphe probablement, ce "Manuel d'Epictète" est un discours sur les vertus du Philosophe en des termes très simples, qui s'appliquent en fait à tout humain. Sans doute un des premiers textes de développement personnel de l'Histoire, l'auteur y explicite les idées et les habitudes qu'une personne qui veut trouver la vérité doit rechercher en lui et en dehors, en véritable Stoïcien. Au XXème siècle encore, il influence fortement les philosophes par ses textes, comme par exemple Alain.

If you’ve ever wondered how an idea born in a crumbling Athens marketplace came to influence emperors, generals, civil rights leaders, and modern thinkers alike… this audiobook will show you. Stoicism isn’t just a set of quotes or life hacks. It’s one of the most resilient philosophies in history—because it evolved. It adapted to war, exile, politics, hardship, and religion. And despite being over 2,000 years old, its message is more relevant than ever.

What God Would Have Known offers a thorough and incisive treatment of its subject that remains respectful and fair-minded throughout. It is not concerned with the overworked question of whether classical Christians believe irrationally, but with what overlooked arguments about human development show in relation to the truth or falsity of Christian claims about reality.

This book has stood the test of time as a cornerstone of philosophical literature and a guide to living a balanced and meaningful life.

"Cesse de te laisser emporter par le tourbillon." Ouvrage majeur de la philosophie stoïcienne, les pensées de l'empereur Marc Aurèle furent rédigées entre 170 et 180 ap. JC.

Questo libro è per chi si sente fuori posto o, come si dice in greco, atopos. Pare che uno dei primi a essere definito così sia stato Socrate, giudicato troppo strano, a volte anche fastidioso. Dopo di lui, tutti i filosofi vennero considerati atopoi. Le loro vite erano tormentate dalla ricerca di qualcosa che continuava a sfuggire e osservavano il mondo dall'esterno, senza farne mai davvero parte. Chi si sente fuori posto prova ogni giorno il doloroso desiderio di trovare un luogo da chiamare casa e vive la vita col fiato sospeso, sperando di riuscire un giorno a respirare.
