Story
Louis-Charles Bourbon, or the Dauphin, never actually reigned, but became either a symbol of martyrdom or the object of one of the most successful acts of substitution ever performed. He enjoyed a charmed early childhood in the palace of Versailles, as the heir of the most powerful throne in Europe; when the French Revolution unfolded in all its horror, his family was incarcerated, and the orphaned boy-King had to endure the hostility and abuse of a nation.

Story
The Sun King's reputation still stands on his reign, rich in art and literature, his brilliant court and invincible armies. He was in power for 72 years, the longest reign of any monarch in European history; he made France the leading European power, set up the lavish palace of Versailles to be sure the rebellious nobility would always be before his eyes, and consolidated a system of absolute monarchical rule in France that endured until the French Revolution.

Story
En mettant en scène son maître Socrate, Platon inaugure ce geste intellectuel primordial : s'interroger soi-même, pour mettre en évidence préjugés et erreurs, et comprendre ce qui fait véritablement la morale, la vie en société, la valeur d'une vie humaine. Sans cette interrogation honnête et lucide, il n'y aurait qu'à fonctionner mécaniquement, comme un robot qui ne sait pourquoi il avance.

L'œuvre de Hegel est le sommet de la philosophie idéaliste allemande. Figure incontournable de l'Aufklärung (les Lumières), son influence a été décisive sur l'ensemble de la philosophie contemporaine. Hegel construit un système grandiose qui part de deux questions fondamentales : "Si Dieu existe, d'où vient le mal", et "Si la vérité est une, pourquoi les philosophes se contredisent-ils ?".

Story
"Le Prince des philosophes" selon Deleuze, un "précurseur" selon Nietzsche ; d'après Hegel, "l'alternative est : Spinoza ou pas de philosophie". Penseur hollandais et figure incontournable de la philosophie, Spinoza a été pris à tort pour un auteur athée. En réalité, il critique les positions traditionalistes des religions révélées, pour proposer une religion traditionnelle. On dit de Spinoza que, victime d'une tentative d'assassinat, il aurait conservé le manteau troué par le poignard pour se rappeler que la passion religieuse mène à la folie.

Story
Nicolas Machiavel, penseur humaniste de la Renaissance, a laissé derrière lui une légende noire. Le Prince, son œuvre la plus célèbre, donne des instructions claires et précises sur la façon d'obtenir et conserver le pouvoir, la fortune et la gloire, même si ce doit être aux dépens des autres. Pragmatique, il n'hésite pas à faire passer la fin recherchée au-dessus de tout principe moral abstrait, susceptible d'entraver l'action du prince ; le Prince est ainsi devenu un des ouvrages politiques les plus craints de l'histoire des idées.

Story
Lao-tsu (Laozi, Lao-tzu, ou Lao Tseu) est l'auteur du "Tao Te Ching" ("Livre de la Voie et de la Vertu"). C'est à lui qu'on doit le sens des équilibres yin et yang, le principe du non-agir, et l'idée du Tao, à l'origine de toutes choses. On prête à Lao Tsu des origines surnaturelles ; en tout cas, sa sagesse en a fait le père fondateur du taoïsme. Ce courant de pensée à l'importance centrale dans la pensée orientale se double d'une pratique quotidienne.

Story
Socrate : une figure majeure, aux fondements de toute la philosophie occidentale ; une légende bizarre, qu'on ne connaît qu'à travers les récits des autres ; et surtout, un drôle de philosophe. Sa méthode est simple et directe : pour apprendre à l'autre à penser par lui-même, il faut questionner sans cesse, afin de mettre au jour les préjugés, présomptions et contradictions. L'autre est amené par un jeu de questions à découvrir lui-même son erreur, ce qui lui permet enfin d'accueillir la vérité.

Napoléon Bonaparte : un des plus grands leaders n'ayant jamais existé. Un essor irrépressible le mena de l'école militaire au trône d'Empereur des Français, puis à la conquête de l'Europe, avant la défaite de 1815. Objet d'une légende dorée comme d'une légende noire, exemple d'une volonté de fer et stratège de génie, Napoléon a changé le cours de l'Histoire. On étudie ses campagnes dans toutes les écoles de stratégie, sa politique libérale a eu une influence mondiale, et il reste une des figures les plus controversées de l'Occident.

Mathématicien et philosophe, Blaise Pascal est un des plus grands esprits n'ayant jamais existé. Il publia un traité de géométrie projective à l'âge de 16 ans, avant d'inventer la machine à calculer pour aider son père dans ses travaux. On doit à Pascal des avancées importantes dans le domaine des sciences, de la méthode scientifique, du calcul des probabilités, et de la philosophie. Ses Pensées sont une œuvre majeure retrouvée sur des feuillets épars, et qui touchent de nombreux paradoxes : infini et néant, âme et matière, foi et raison.

Story
Marcus Tullius Cicéron : un des plus grands orateurs n'ayant jamais existé. Ses talents d'avocat lui permirent d'accéder à la magistrature suprême, fonction normalement réservée à la noblesse ; et la seule énergie de ses discours, les "Catilinaires", suffit à déjouer une terrible conjuration qui visait à l'élimination d'une partie de l'élite politique. Cicéron connut la gloire à la suite de cette affaire, avant que sa franche opposition au pouvoir d'Antoine lui coûte la vie en 43 av. J-C. L'œuvre de Cicéron est considérée comme un modèle d'expression latine, et on lui doit la transmission d'une part importante de la pensée grecque.

Cent citations de Bouddha pour vous familiariser avec la pensée bouddhiste, inspirer votre vie quotidienne, et vous approcher de l'éveil. Siddharta Gautama était né prince ; dégoûté des illusions matérielles, il parcourut un temps le chemin de l'ascétisme, avant de se rendre compte que la négation du corps n'était qu'une autre des illusions de la conscience. C'est alors qu'il atteint l'éveil, ce qui lui valut son surnom de Bouddha, "l'Eveillé" ; il devait ensuite mettre sa sagesse en enseignements, parvenus jusqu'à nous sous forme d'aphorismes.
