S'initier à Platon, c'est pénétrer un univers où les Idées éternelles guident la réflexion, et où la quête du Bien, de la vérité et de la justice transcende le monde sensible. Philosophe majeur de la Grèce antique et fondateur de l'Académie, il a profondément structuré la pensée...

Este ensayo aporta luz a problemas políticos de la máxima actualidad en nuestra sociedad, en un momento en que la izquierda transformadora se encuentra en un estado de resaca, tanto por la tendencia al retroceso que está experimentando, como por su condición tras unos años de constante actividad. Escrito gracias a una profunda reflexión y un continuado estudio de la filosofía política, sobrepasa el aspecto teórico al alimentarse también de la experiencia política y la práctica institucional realizada durante muchos años.

What is love? In poetry, songs, fiction, movies, psychology, and philosophy, love has been described, admired, lamented, and dissected in endless ways. Is love based on physical attraction? Does it bring out our better selves? How does it relate to sex? Is love divine? Plato's Symposium is one of the oldest, most influential, and most profound explorations of such questions—it is even the source of the idea of "Platonic love."

Do the most stressful things in life feel beyond your control? People pleaser? Stressed out? Overbooked? Not getting the life experiences you wish? For many good-hearted people, their empathy for others and their causes weighs them down and holds them back in life. What if much of the worry in life is 100 percent unnecessary?

In a time when division is treated as a given, The Sovereign Perspective challenges the assumption that conflict and polarization are unavoidable. HRH Prince Gharios El Chemor of Ghassan Al-Nu’Man VIII dissects the root causes of today’s fractured world—political extremism, ideological rigidity, media manipulation, and the erosion of critical thinking. Rather than taking sides, he explores how societies can foster cooperation without compromising individuality or reason.

This is the second of three volumes of posthumously collected writings of G. A. Cohen, who was one of the leading, and most progressive, figures in contemporary political philosophy. This volume brings together some of Cohen's most personal philosophical and nonphilosophical essays, many of them previously unpublished. Rich in first-person narration, insight, and humor, these pieces vividly demonstrate why Thomas Nagel described Cohen as a "wonderful raconteur".

A bold manifesto arguing that the most complex challenges we face today—as individuals, businesses, and a society—require us to ask deeper questions, not seek easier answers “With this beautifully written book, Seth Goldenberg awakens the gifts we all possess: wonder, optimism, and the...

In A Decent Life, May leads listeners through the traditional philosophical bases of a number of arguments about what ethics asks of us, then he develops a more reasonable and achievable way of thinking about them, one that shows us how we can use philosophical insights to participate in the complicated world around us. He explores how we should approach the many relationships in our lives - with friends, family, animals, people in need - through the use of a more forgiving, if no less fundamentally serious, moral compass.

A wide-ranging and up-to-date survey of the leading ideas and debates in political philosophy.

Philipp Hübl führt intelligent und unterhaltsam in die moderne Philosophie ein und gibt klare Antworten auf die großen Fragen des Lebens: Gibt es Gott? Kann man ohne Gefühle leben? Sind wir frei in unseren Entscheidungen? Haben Träume eine Funktion? Warum ist uns Schönheit so wichtig? Hat der Tod einen Sinn? Wer dem weißen Kaninchen folgt, sieht das Wunderland der Wirklichkeit mit neuen Augen. Es ist eine Jagd mit reicher Beute, hin und her, querweltein, durchs ganze Leben und zurück.

Periferia di Milano, anni Settanta. Gli anni del terrorismo e della droga, dei sogni di Oriente e di liberazione. Una mattina, nella classe di un Istituto Agrario, fa la sua apparizione Giulia, una giovane professoressa di lettere che parla di letteratura e di poesia con una passione sconosciuta. È quell'incontro a "salvare" Massimo Recalcati che, in questo libro dedicato alla pratica dell'insegnamento, riflette su cosa significa essere insegnanti in una società senza padri e senza maestri.

As a boy, severely disabled after contracting polio as a baby in working class Liverpool, Bert Massie found himself wondering why disabled people were expected to adapt to the world around them, and not the other way round. In his teens, he began to campaign for rights for disabled people, and having battled his way through prejudice and the education system to become a Bachelor of Arts and a qualified social worker, he became a prominent figure in the fight for fair treatment for disabled people leading to the ground breaking Disability Discrimination Act.

In The Ajax Dilemma, Paul Woodruff examines one of today's most pressing moral issues: how to distribute rewards and public recognition without damaging the social fabric. How should we honor those whose behavior and achievement is essential to our overall success? Is it fair or right to lavish rewards on the superstar at the expense of the hardworking rank-and-file? How do we distinguish an impartial fairness from what is truly just?

From interpreting the world to changing it, a synthesis of Chomsky's early work on philosophy, linguistics, and politics. Originally delivered in 1971 as the first Cambridge lectures in memory of Bertrand Russell, Problems of Knowledge and Freedom is a masterful and cogent synthesis of Noam Chomsky's moral philosophy, linguistic analysis, and emergent political critique of America's war in Vietnam.

"The communists do not preach morality at all"; this line from The Communist Manifesto might seem to settle the question of whether Marxism has anything to offer moral philosophy. Yet, Marx issued both trenchant critiques of "bourgeois" morality and thundering condemnations of capitalism's "vampire-like" destructiveness. He decried commodity-exchange for corroding our ability to value one another for who we are, not how much our lives could be traded away for.

The Enchiridion and Discourses is a compilation of Epictetus's philosophical teachings. Although Epictetus spent much of his life as a slave, he believed that all people were free to control their emotional well-being and live in harmony with their circumstance and those around them. His works are a guide for applying philosophy to day-to-day living. Although many of the great philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, promoted grand ideas, they never approached the subject of integrating those ideas into everyday life.

Il nichilismo, la negazione di ogni valore, è anche quello che Nietzsche chiama "il più inquietante fra tutti gli ospiti". Si è nel mondo della tecnica e la tecnica non tende a uno scopo, non produce senso, non svela verità. Fa solo una cosa: funziona. Finiscono sullo sfondo, corrosi dal nichilismo, i concetti di individuo, identità, libertà, senso, ma anche quelli di natura, etica, politica, religione, storia, di cui si è nutrita l'età pretecnologica.

Lost and Found, by Dr. Mark D’Souza, ventures deep into this quandary, addressing the poignant disconnects of our modern era. As workplaces remain trapped in a cacophony of disagreements, the world witnesses an opioid crisis showing no signs of remission. Drawing upon his extensive experience in medical practice and rich insights from philosophy, psychology, and literature, Dr. D’Souza traces this descent into chaos, marking Nietzsche’s assertion of the “death of God” as a pivotal moment in the annals of philosophical and societal thought.
