Story
Von Heraklits Werk sind keine Originaltexte überliefert. Zur Verfügung stehen allein Bruchstücke. Problematisch ist, dass diese Bruchstücke aus den Werken diverser anderer antiker Autoren entnommen sind. Häufig sind es indirekte Zitate des Typs "Heraklit sagt,...". Nur selten finden sich direkte Zitate. Problematisch ist zudem, dass in der Fachliteratur bis heute umstritten ist, welche Fragmente authentisch sind. Die Authentizität von 1 bis 3 Dutzend Fragmenten ist umstritten.

Wat is filosofie?

Story
De oorspronkelijke betekenis van het Griekse woord voor filosofie is het houden van en zoeken naar kennis en wijsheid. Door de ontwikkeling van de wetenschap in Europa veranderden de conceptie en de functie van de wijsbegeerte, zodat hedendaagse opvattingen van filosofie begrepen moeten worden tegen de achtergrond van de wetenschapsgeschiedenis. In deze vier colleges geeft Herman Philipse een historisch-systematisch overzicht van de opvattingen over wijsbegeerte aan de hand van belangrijke denkers.

Perché Eraclito morì sepolto vivo sotto il letame? Cosa ci raccontano il dolce morire di Democrito in una vasca piena di miele e il tuffarsi nell'Etna di Empedocle? Perché Thomas More fu decapitato e Giordano Bruno arso vivo? Cosa nascondono la cicuta di Socrate, la polmonite di Descartes e la pleurite di Schopenhauer? Per Matteo Saudino, il Prof più seguito d'Italia, morire è l'atto più filosofico del nostro vivere. La morte è un caleidoscopio attraverso cui osservare frammenti di puzzle esistenziali e ricostruire trame del pensiero.

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.

Socrates questions Ion, an actor who just won a major prize, about his ability to interpret the epic poetry of Homer. How does an actor, a poet, or any other artist create? Is it by knowing? Is it by inspiration? As the dialogue proceeds, the nature of human creativity emerges as a mysterious process and an unsolved puzzle. Plato lived in Athens, Greece. He wrote approximately two-dozen dialogues that explore core topics that are essential to all human beings.

Story
Laches, a general in the Athenian army, saw Socrates fight bravely in the battle of Delium. When he and Nicias, another general, are asked to explain the idea of courage, they are at a loss and words fail them. How does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can a lion be said to be courageous? What about small children who have little idea of the dangers they face? Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad consequences?

Story
A dialogue between Socrates and Meno probes the subject of ethics. Can goodness be taught? If it can, then we should be able to find teachers capable of instructing others about what is good and bad, right and wrong, or just and unjust. Socrates and Meno are unable to identify teachers of ethics, and we are left wondering how such knowledge could be acquired. To answer that puzzle, Socrates questions one of Meno’s servants in an attempt to show that we know fundamental ideas by recollecting them.

Story
"Plato was not a Platonist! I would like to show... that anyone who reads the dialogues of Plato without bias or an ax to grind will find a humorous, witty, pleasant friend; and not a desiccated scholarly mandarin. Plato was an open-minded, tolerant, reasonable individual, not a tight-lipped, pietistic, puritan. In a word, Plato was an Athenian, not a Spartan!". In the twenty-four centuries that have passed since the Athenians put Socrates to death, every generation has interpreted the meaning of Plato’s work differently.

Story
Hippias of Elis travels throughout the Greek world practicing and teaching the art of making beautiful speeches. On a rare visit to Athens, he meets Socrates who questions him about the nature of his art. Socrates is especially curious about how Hippias would define beauty. They agree that "beauty makes all beautiful things beautiful," but when Socrates presses him to say precisely what he means, Hippias is unable to deliver such a definition. The more Socrates probes, the more absurd the responses from Hippias become.

Story
¡Qué feliz sería si fuese feliz! Estas palabras de Woody Allen quizá dicen lo esencial: que estamos separados de la felicidad por la misma esperanza que la persigue. La sabiduría, al contrario, sería vivir de verás, el lugar de esperar vivir. En esa dirección apuntan las lecciones de Epicuro, de los estoicos, de Spinoza, o, en Oriente, de Buda. Solamente tendremos una felicidad proporcional a la desesperación que seamos capaces de atravesar. La sabiduría es exactamente eso: la felicidad, desesperadamente.”

Auf dem Höhepunkt der Corona-Krise sahen sich Intensivmediziner mit der Frage konfrontiert: Wen rette ich, wenn die Ressourcen zu knapp werden? Sie müssen auswählen - es droht Triage. Medizin, Ethik, Rechtsprechung und Gesundheitsökonomie sind sich uneinig: Darf man Menschenleben gegeneinander abwägen? Sind jüngere Personen im Konfliktfall älteren mit schlechterer Prognose vorzuziehen? Darüber hinaus stellt sich die Frage, wie wir überhaupt mit eigenen Ressourcen umgehen: Sollten wir nicht viel mehr helfen und unsere Ressourcen entsprechend aufteilen?
