From the Introduction: "Every biography is a story of adventure. The energetic personalities of the world represent an adventure in living. The philosophical personalities, on the other hand, represent an adventure in thinking. And when we examine the lives of the philosophers we find that the procession of a man's thoughts can be as exciting a spectacle as the pageantry of a man's deeds."

Ob das Habermas'sche Werk eine Ethik der Moderne ist, will Detlef Forster mit seiner Darstellung der Habermans'schen Philosophie beantworten. Es ist eine Analyse, welche von Heidegger bis zur nationalen Einheit 1990 reicht und besonderes Augenmerk auf die enge Nähe von Theorie und gesellschaftlicher Praxis betont.

He didn’t just think. He built the tools for thinking. Born in Macedon. Trained by Plato. Tutor to Alexander the Great. But more than anything, Aristotle was a blueprint engineer. A mind that broke reality into categories, causes, and systems that still shape the world today. This is the full map of Aristotle’s legacy. Across logic, biology, politics, metaphysics, ethics, storytelling, and more. He didn’t give us the answers. He gave us the frameworks to figure them out.

Born and raised in a small town in Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) began his career in philology (the study of language), and served as a professor at the University of Basel. In 1879, he was forced to leave due to health issues, which afflicted him throughout his life. Supported by his university pension and aided by friends, he spent the next decade as an independent author, writing the books for which he would become famous, including Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, and On the Genealogy of Morals.

While names like Nero, Caligula, Hadrian, and Constantine grab all the attention with their exploits, Marcus Aurelius tends to sit more in the historical background of the Roman Empire. In many ways, he is a lesser known emperor even though his written works have stood the test of time. Marcus, a prolific writer and formidable scholar, was perhaps the first to fulfill Plato’s dream of the philosopher king.

Few philosophers have so extensively influenced thought and language as Aristotle. His conception of the universe pervades Christian theology. Knowledge of his thought is necessary to understand Bacon, Galileo and the modern scientific view of nature, as well as Dante and many passages from Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton. Many phrases such as "liberal education" and "theory" contrasted with "practice" originated with this student of Plato and tutor of Alexander the Great. Writing to inform the beginner and stimulate the expert, eminent scholar A.E. Taylor presents a searching analysis of Aristotle's thought, including classification of the sciences; formal logic; theory of knowledge; matter and form; the four causes; God; physics; biology; sensation; ethics; theory of the state; the fine arts. He also considers Aristotle's provincialism, errors regarding the nervous system and astronomy, and defense of slavery.

Weiterhin in dieser Box vertreten: Versuch über das Geistersehn (Track 12-16) sowie sein postum veröffentlichtes Werk Über die Kunst Recht zu behalten (Track 17-18).

Epictet și-a petrecut formarea sub filosoful roman Musionus Rufus, alături de care a parcurs "programa" stoică clasică: logică, fizică și etică. După dobândirea libertărții și-a petrecut întreaga carieră predând filosofie și recomandând o rutină zilnică de autoexaminare. Discipolul lui Epictet - Arrian - a publicat mai târziu notele și discursurile maestrului stoic. Encheiridion, sau Manualul reprezintă o distilare a învățămintelor lui Epictet. Ideea centrală este cea conform căreia singurul aspect asupra căruia un individ are control este mintea acestuia.

Victor Hugo is one of the best-known French writers, and is part of the greatest literary figures of all time. His poetry made him famous very early, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest lyric poets when he was only 20 years old. He was also a novelist and a dramatist, and furthered the cause of Romanticism, this exalted artistic movement which toyed with Sublime and soared on the winds of emotion.

Nero as the political slave master of the Roman world wielded absolute power over all his subjects, including the Stoic philosopher Seneca. This absolute political power decisively influenced how Seneca adapted his humane view of Roman slaves to the institution of household slavery. Seneca, who was also Nero's advisor, fashioned an ideology of clemency or mercy to influence how Nero the political slave master treated his subjects and how the Roman household slave master treated his slaves. Contrary to common assumptions among scholars, I emphasize that the political loyalty of Seneca to the...
