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.

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.

En skånsom død er en kort, intens og personlig skildring af Simone de Beauvoirs mors sidste tid – hendes sygdomsforløb og død – og samtidig et stærkt psykologisk og sociologisk portræt af at være kvinde og mor, af forholdet mellem mødre og døtre, og ikke mindst af tidens strenge moral, der har formet Beauvoirs mor og kilet sig ned mellem hende og datteren. En oktoberdag på en rejse i Rom bliver Simone de Beauvoir ringet op. Hendes mor har været ude for et uheld. Det bliver begyndelsen på et langt og i sidste ende uhelbredeligt sygdomsforløb – men også på genforeningen mellem mor og datter.

Ibn Arabi, reconocido a lo largo de la historia como el Maestro Sublime o el Hijo de Platón, representa una de las figuras más relevantes del pensamiento y la filosofía de al-Andalus. El místico o sufí de Murcia fue clave durante la segunda mitad del siglo XII en pleno apogeo de la cultura árabe. Su pensamiento se expande por las distintas ramificaciones del saber, y es un perfecto ejemplo de encrucijada de caminos y tendencias espirituales y filosóficas, a la vez que la puerta a la espiritualidad más genuina y depurada.

Seneca három Vigasztalása , consolációja az ókori vigasztalásirodalom legérettebb alkotása. Az első egy asszonyhoz szól, aki elvesztette fiát, a második az író egy barátjához, aki testvérét siratja, a harmadikat pedig édesanyjához írta Seneca korzikai száműzetéséből. E műfaj elméletét Ciceró foglalta össze tömören: a vigasztalás első eszköze bebizonyítani, hogy nincs rossz, s ha van, nem jelentékeny; a második, rámutatni, hogy minden bánat és gyász az élet törvénye; a harmadik, bebizonyítani, hogy értelmetlen elemészteni magunkat a bánatban, holott világosan tudjuk, hogy nincs ellene orvosság.

Als Denker von tiefgreifender Originalität und berüchtigter Schwierigkeit bleibt Martin Heidegger eine der umstrittensten Figuren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein monumentales Werk „Sein und Zeit“ definierte die zentrale Frage der Philosophie – was es bedeutet, „zu sein“ – neu, während seine späteren Schriften sich mit Technologie, Sprache, Kunst und Sterblichkeit befassten. Doch seine dunklen politischen Verstrickungen sorgen weiterhin für Unbehagen und verlangen von den Lesern, sich nicht nur mit der Brillanz seines Denkens, sondern auch mit den Schattenseiten seiner Biografie auseinanderzusetzen.

Was geschieht, wenn wir Kant nicht mehr als marmornes Denkmal, sondern als lebendigen Menschen lesen? Diese Frage bildet den Kern dieses Buches. Immanuel Kants Philosophie war niemals dazu bestimmt, als unverrückbares Dogma verehrt zu werden. Sie war ein kritisches Projekt, ein Versuch, die Grenzen der Vernunft sichtbar zu machen und Werkzeuge für weiteres Denken zu schaffen.

Before mindfulness apps. Before lo-fi beats to study to. Before every self-help book told you to “let go”… There was Alan Watts. This book isn’t a lecture. It’s a vibe. Everything Is Fine, Actually is a chilled-out journey through the life and mind of a man who didn’t care about enlightenment points — just clarity, laughter, and presence. From his British roots to his West Coast evolution, Watts preached the art of not trying, the illusion of the ego, and the sacred joke of existence.

He didn’t rule an empire. He didn’t fight a war. He just had an idea — that the world could be better if everyone just played their part. This is the story of Confucius — not as a saint, not as a symbol, but as a man trying to fix a broken world with virtue, obedience, and a whole lot of ritual bowing. Through chaos, rejection, and endless lectures, he built a moral system that outlived dynasties and became the software of an entire civilization. But what did it cost? This isn’t worship. This isn’t a takedown. This is a biography told with open eyes.

He was sick, alone, and laughed at by every polite thinker of his day. Then he broke the world. This is the life and madness of Friedrich Nietzsche — the man who declared God dead, tore morality out by the roots, and invented the Übermensch before collapsing in a foreign street, hugging a horse and signing letters as Dionysus. Nietzsche: The Man Who Saw Too Much is a mind-melting biography of the firebrand who rewired philosophy from the ground up.

I korte tekststykker, der fortæller om samtiden og den betydning de fik for den, portrætterer Stefan Zweig to af det 19. århundredes helt store personligheder - den russiske forfatter Fjodor Dostojevski og den tyske filosof Friedrich Nietzsche.

Han voksede op i Wien i et velhavende, jødisk hjem, studerede filosofi og litteraturhistorie og blev som ung forfatter del af de avantgardistiske kredse. I 1920'erne og 30'erne var han en af Europas førende forfattere.

Platon legendärer Philosoph: Leben und Werk in einer Kurzbiografie! Alles, was man wissen muss, kurz und knapp. Infotainment, Bildung und Unterhaltung vom Feinsten.

Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder, and the first Western philosophers developed theories of the world which express simultaneously their sense of wonder and their intuition that the world should be comprehensible. But their enterprise was by no means limited to this proto-scientific task. Through, for instance, Heraclitus's enigmatic sayings, the poetry of Parmenides and Empedocles, and Zeno's paradoxes, the Western world was introduced to metaphysics, rationalist theology, ethics, and logic.

Vanaf Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) zijn we in de greep van het verlangen naar echtheid en authenticiteit. Naar de natuur, naar spontaniteit, jeugd, vriendschap en liefde. Meer dan 300 jaar geleden werd Rousseau geboren, maar de uitvinder van het ik is nog altijd onder ons. Dankzij sociale media snappen we meer dan ooit dat we onszelf moeten spelen. Denk ook aan de geregisseerde echtheid van het programma Boer Zoekt Vrouw en de door mediatraining gestuurde oprechtheid van de politicus. Er loopt een rechte lijn van Rousseau naar de smiley en andere emoticons.

These two autobiographical essays by Douglas Harding were written 30 years apart. Harding wrote the first one in the 1960s when he was in his early 50s. He wrote the second one, "On Having No Head," when he was 80. They are instructive, insightful, and entertaining.

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. ABOUT SIR THOMAS MORE: There are some writers who are chiefly interesting in themselves, and some whom chance and the agreement of men have picked out as symbols and convenient indications of some particular group or temperament of opinions.
