Story
François, duc de La Rochefoucauld, prince de Marcillac, est un écrivain, moraliste et mémorialiste français, surtout connu pour ses "Maximes". Bien qu'il n'ait publié officiellement que ses "Memoires" et ses "Maximes", sa production littéraire est dense. Comme la plupart de ses contemporains, il voyait la politique comme un jeu d'échecs. Les "Maximes" forment une dénonciation inlassable de toutes les apparences de vertu.

Story
La Bruyère est célèbre pour une œuvre unique, "Les caractères ou Les mœurs de ce siècle" (1688). Cet ouvrage, constitué d'un ensemble de brèves pièces littéraires, compose une chronique essentielle de l'esprit du XVIIe siècle. La Bruyère fut l'un des premiers écrivains à mettre en avant le style littéraire, en développant un phrasé rythmé dans lequel les effets de rupture sont prépondérants. Ce style incite à la lecture à haute voix, donnant ainsi à cette activité le statut de jugement moral grâce à l'effet rhétorique.

Story
Aristote est un philosophe grec de l'Antiquité. Avec Platon, dont il fut le disciple à l'Académie, il est l'un des penseurs les plus influents que le monde ait connus. Il est aussi l'un des rares à avoir abordé presque tous les domaines de connaissance de son temps : biologie, physique, métaphysique, logique, poétique, politique. Chez Aristote, la philosophie est comprise dans un sens plus large : elle est à la fois recherche du savoir pour lui-même, interrogation sur le monde et science des sciences.

Story
Euripide est un des trois grands tragiques de l'Athènes classique, avec Eschyle et Sophocle. Certains auteurs antiques lui attribuent 95 pièces dont 18 conservées dans leur intégralité. Il reste d'Euripide plus de pièces que d'Eschyle et Sophocle réunis, parce que sa popularité augmentait tandis que la leur déclinait. Il connut un immense succès durant l'époque hellénistique. Connu parmi les écrivains de l'Athènes classique pour sa sympathie sans égale envers toutes les victimes de la société, femmes incluses, ses contemporains l'ont associé à Socrate.

Story
Pupil of the great Plato, teacher of Alexander the Great, Aristotle is a massively influential figure in Western philosophy. Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold". Modern ethics are based on his ideas about virtue; his writings literally encompassed all the scientific knowledge of the time and beyond, so much that many of his findings were still considered cutting-edge many century afterwards. Aristotle also shaped modern logic, and put his mark on all subsequent philosophy and theology.

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.

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
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.

Story
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.

Marc Aurèle est le dernier des "Cinq bons empereurs" de Rome ; son règne marque l'apogée de l'empire romain, qui ne sera jamais plus riche et pacifié qu'alors. Il partage avec l'esclave Épictète une place majeure dans la philosophie stoïcienne, et ses enseignements n'ont rien perdu de leur utilité aujourd'hui. Ses Méditations sont une série de notes écrites pour son propre usage, pendant une campagne militaire, et témoignent de sa quête de sagesse et de perfectionnement.

Story
Pas de méthode scientifique moderne sans Sir Francis Bacon. Son œuvre s'inscrit dans le cadre de la révolution scientifique, qui prit son essor au XVIIe siècle en Angleterre et décida de toute l'évolution de la pensée philosophique et scientifique. C'est à lui que l'on doit l'idée d'une approche méthodique, fondée sur l'observation prudente des faits de la nature. Il fut le premier à défendre l'idée de l'empirisme comme base du travail scientifique, afin d'éviter la projection et les distorsions dues à une préférence pour l'une ou l'autre hypothèse.

Né esclave, Épictète devint l'un des plus grands philosophes stoïciens, et ses préceptes sont toujours appliqués aujourd'hui. Nous lui devons le stoïcisme, doctrine pensée pour éviter toutes les souffrances inutiles. Il n'y a que sur nos propres actions et attitudes que nous pouvons agir ; comme ce n'est pas parce que l'on s'inquiète beaucoup que les choses s'améliorent, il convient donc d'accueillir tout événement avec calme et sans passion.

Story
Epictetus was born a slave, and became one of the most influent Stoic philosophers. Stoicism is the attitude allowing one to free oneself from the unnecessary suffering that arises from anxiety about events that are beyond our control; therefore, it can be of tremendous importance in one's life. According to Epictetus, our own actions and attitudes are the only thing in our control; whatever else happens, we should examine calmly and dispassionately, because no amount of suffering will change the impact of external events.

"De la vie heureuse" est un traité de sagesse, intemporel et universel. Il a été écrit par Sénèque comme un dialogue avec un interlocuteur imaginaire, vers 58 après Jésus Christ. L'œuvre est dédiée à Gallion, frère aîné de Sénèque. Son principal objet est de montrer que le bonheur n'est pas matériel, mais naît d'une vie en accord avec la vertu et la raison (selon les préceptes du stoïcisme).

Story
Aristotle's Poetics is best known for its definition and analysis of tragedy and comedy, but it also applies to truth and beauty as they are manifested in the other arts. In our age, when the natural and social sciences have dominated the quest for truth, it is helpful to consider why Aristotle claimed: "poetry is more philosophical and more significant than history." Like so many other works by Aristotle, the Poetics has dominated the way we have thought about all forms of dramatic performance in Europe and America ever since.
