世界の恒久的平和はいかにしてもたらされるべきか．

Ética a Nicómaco de Aristóteles es un texto fundamental de la filosofía moral occidental, donde el autor explora el concepto de virtud y felicidad. Aristóteles plantea que la vida buena para el ser humano es la vida de virtud, entendida como un término medio entre dos extremos, y que la felicidad (eudaimonia) es el fin último de la existencia humana, alcanzable mediante la práctica de las virtudes éticas y dianoéticas, en el marco de una vida dedicada a la actividad del alma conforme a la razón.

Humankind has never before faced challenges of the scale and complexity of today. We need to expand our ethical toolkit. The mental tools most of us rely on to ‘do the right thing’ just don’t work when it comes to reasoning about such huge collective problems. From the small stuff like single-use plastics to major decisions like whether to have children, Rieder defines exactly how we can change our thinking and lead a decent, meaningful life in a scary, complicated world.

Als Rousseau 1765 der Bitte seines Verlegers nachkam, seine Lebensgeschichte zu Papier zu bringen, konnte er nicht ahnen, dass seine Bekenntnisse noch Jahrhunderte später als Schlüsselwerk gelten würden. Zum ersten Mal boten die niedergeschriebenen Erinnerungen eines Schriftstellers mehr als allgemeine Gedanken zu Gesellschaft und Religion. Sie wurden zur präzisen Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Persönlichkeit. Das intime Psychogramm des Pädagogen und Philosophen Rousseau in der Lesung von Joachim Höppner bietet mehr als 30 Stunden Hörgenuss.

Im vierten Teil seiner "Geschichte der abendländischen Philosophie" führt August Messer in bündiger und verständlicher Art und Weise in die Philosophien von Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling und Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel ein - also in die Gedankenwelten jener Philosophen, die seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts als "Deutscher Idealismus" in einen Zusammenhang zueinander gebracht werden, welcher der Eigenständigkeit ihrer philosophischen Systeme nicht in jedem Falle gerecht wird.

掃除を究めると、驚くほどストレスが減る。心が穏やかになる。仕事も人間関係もうまくいく――。

Mit den Mädchen hat es die Natur auf Das, was man im dramaturgischen Sinne, einen Knalleffekt nennt, abgesehen, indem sie dieselben, auf wenige Jahre, mit überreichlicher Schönheit, Reiz und Fülle ausstattet, auf Kosten ihrer ganzen übrigen Lebenszeit, damit sie nämlich, während jener Jahre, der Phantasie eines Mannes sich in dem Maße bemächtigen könnten, dass er hingerissen wird, die Sorge für sie auf Zeit Lebens, in irgend einer Form, ehrlich zu übernehmen; zu welchem Schritte ihn zu vermögen, die bloße vernünftige Überlegung keine hinlänglich sichere Bürgschaft zu geben schien.

During the 2010 Olympic speed skating final, Mark Tuitert wasn't thinking about winning, but about Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus and Zeno - philosophers belonging to an ancient school of thought that emerged from their experiences of personal hardship. The Stoics developed a philosophy grounded in striving toward unbiased thinking, self-betterment through virtues, and a focus on only that which lies in our power to control. Now, after two decades of applying this philosophy, he has distilled Stoicism and his personal experience into ten powerful lessons.
