Que serait la philosophie sans ces belles histoires ? La caverne de Platon, le tonneau de Diogène ou la chouette de Hegel, la philosophie aime les petites histoires qui illustrent la pensée des plus grands. Ces histoires, ces fables, éclairent des pensées parfois complexes et permettent à chacun de mieux comprendre les plus grands philosophes de l'histoire. Depuis la nuit des temps philosophiques, ces histoires sont une manière pour ces grands penseurs de se faire comprendre du plus grand nombre en privilégiant l'humour, la métaphore, ou la morale.

La filosofía y el pensamiento espiritual andalusí florecieron en nuestra tierra durante más de siete siglos. Un periodo en el que en Al Ándalus convivieron tres culturas diferentes (musulmana, cristiana y judía), cada una de ellas con su propia visión del mundo y del espíritu.

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.

From self-realization and self-promotion to self-help and the selfie, the modern world encourages us to be self-obsessed. We are even told that finding ourselves is the key to happiness. Better to lose yourself! More than 2,500 years ago, the Buddha argued that the self is an illusion—and that our belief in it is the cause of most, if not all, of our suffering. How to Lose Yourself presents lively, accessible, and expert new translations of ancient Buddhist writings about the central, unique, and powerful Buddhist teaching of "no-self."

Las Meditaciones de Marco Aurelio es una obra que todavía hoy sigue ayudando a millones de lectores a vivir mejor. Cuando nos enfrentamos a su lectura, una pregunta nos asalta inevitablemente: ¿cómo pudo Marco Aurelio (121-180), máxima autoridad de uno de los imperios más grandes de la historia, conservar la serenidad en medio de un tumulto de guerras, traiciones, epidemias y catástrofes naturales que lo sacudieron durante cerca de dos decenios? La respuesta se encuentra en la filosofía en la que se formó desde muy joven y por la que experimentó una intensa pasión: el estoicismo.

Dans ce second et dernier volume dédié à l'histoire romaine, l'immense Isaac Asimov emmène ses lecteurs à travers les quatre siècles durant lesquels Rome assura son hégémonie sur le monde occidental, apportant la paix à une centaine de millions de personnes, tout en développant deux des plus conséquents héritages de l'Antiquité : le droit et le christianisme. Se plaçant en chroniqueur lucide, Asimov, au moyen d'anecdotes savoureuses et d'apartés, relie la grande histoire, celle des batailles et des empereurs, à la « petite », celle du quotidien et des masses anonymes.

Paleophilosophy: The Dawn of Thought is a book that restores to us the forgotten dignity of ancient humanity. It makes a simple and radical claim: philosophy is older than cities, temples, and alphabets; it begins not with libraries, but with silence around the fire, with palms pressed against stone, with the rhythm of the dance, with the care given to the dead, and with dreams in which humankind first encountered the “other.

This book is not a museum of doctrines or a dry catalog of names and dates. It is a journey through the restless spirit of European thought—from Petrarch’s anxious letters to the ancients, to Pico della Mirandola’s vision of human dignity, from Ficino’s hymns to harmony, to Bruno’s infinite cosmos, from Machiavelli’s stark realism to Montaigne’s gentle skepticism, from Bacon’s call for experience to Descartes’s radical doubt and Spinoza’s infinite substance.

Thoughtful Cinema explores how films raise and suggest answers to philosophical questions through an in-depth analysis of how seven films engage with various philosophical traditions, ranging from the nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to the twentieth and twenty-first century American philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson.

Pero este libro no se limita a contarlos, sino que nos invita a leerlos con una mirada profunda, emocional y transformadora, desvelando su sabiduría práctica y su asombrosa vigencia en la vida cotidiana.

ليس من المستغرب أن أصل كلمة «philosophy» — بالإنجليزية والتي تعني الفلسفة — مشتق من اللغة اليونانية القديمة، وهي عبارة عن كلمة مكونة من جزأين، الجزء الأول «philo» ويعني «المحبة» أو «الاعتناء أو الاهتمام»، والثاني «sophos» ويعني «الحكيم» أو «الحكمة»، لذا فإن كلمة «philosopher» أي الفيلسوف تعني الشخص الذي يحب الحكمة والمعرفة ويهتم بهما، في حين أن التعريف الموحد في القاموس لكلمة «الفلسفة» هو أنها «دراسة الطبيعة الأساسية للمعرفة والواقع والوجود»؛ أي محاولة اكتشاف إجابات لبعض الأسئلة مثل مَن نحن، وما سبب وجودنا في هذه الحياة.
