L'Éthique à Nicomaque d'Aristote est composée de neuf livres qui traitent des moyens d'atteindre le bonheur en développant la vertu. Les deux derniers livres sont consacrés à définir l'amitié, telle qu'elle existe et telle qu'elle doit être vécue par l'homme vertueux. La méthode aristotélicienne permet de distinguer les différentes causes et les différentes manifestations de l'amitié, nécessaire à l'homme et qui lui révèle son appartenance à la communauté. Le véritable ami est celui qui aime l'autre pour lui, et non en vue de ce qu'il peut lui apporter.

The inscription on the Oracle of Delphi says: 'Nothing in excess.' C.S. Lewis described temperance as going to the 'right length but no further.' Easy to say, hard to practice—and if it was tough in 300 BCE, or in the 1940s, it feels all but impossible today. Yet it's the most empowering and important virtue any of us can learn. Drawing on ancient Stoic wisdom and examples across history and around the world, Ryan Holiday shows why self-control is so vital, and how to cultivate it in our own lives.

In this thought-provoking new book, the Dalai Lama argues that religion is not a necessity for pursuing a spiritual life. Rather, focusing on tolerance and understanding between religions, as well as tolerance and understanding between believers (of any faith) and non-believers is the way forward. The way to achieve such an approach, he proposes, is through a system of secular ethics grounded in a deep appreciation of our common humanity.

Queremos saber y este deseo de saber es la expresión de una de las inquietudes más arraigada en el ser humano. La transparencia nos permite, literalmente, trascender, ir más allá del cristal, sobrepasar un límite, cruzar una frontera, mientras que la opacidad no nos abre el campo de visión, no nos permite entrever mínimamente algo de lo que hay más allá. Anhelamos la transparencia, pero no somos conscientes de los problemas que se pueden derivar de la cultura global de la transparencia.

For over two thousand years, this books has been the foundation of Chinese family life. Based on a series of conversations with Confucius, and supplemented by a series of story examples by an Emperor in the 11th Century, it is essential to understanding the nature and order of Chinese society.

La Tierra no es perfectamente redonda, pero la circunferencia creada por los hombres sí lo es. Lo malo es que cuando intentaban medir esa circunferencia inventada con su diámetro, salía un número irracional, un número desconcertante, el número pi. Otros conceptos ideales creados también por los hombres, como la simetría, la ortodoxia, la unanimidad, el orden o la belleza pueden derivar también en consecuencias irracionales, indeseadas, injustas y dañinas.

El transhumanismo es uno de los movimientos filosóficos y culturales que más atención ha atraído en los últimos años. Preconiza el uso libre de la tecnología para el mejoramiento del ser humano, tanto en sus capacidades físicas, como en las mentales, emocionales y morales, trascendiendo todos sus límites actuales. Las tecnologías a las acude son la ingeniería genética y el desarrollo de máquinas inteligentes.

दुनिया भर के दार्शनिकों में सुकरात का विशिष्‍ट स्थान है। उनमें सोचने-समझने की क्षमता थी और वह सत्य एवं न्याय की खोज के प्रति दृढ़-संकल्प थे। वह मानते थे कि एक बेहतर विश्‍व की कल्पना तभी साकार हो सकती है, जब लोग समझदार एवं बुद्धिमान हों। हमें किसी दूसरे के विचारों को यूँ ही स्वीकार नहीं कर लेना चाहिए, बल्कि उनको आलोचनात्मक तर्क की कसौटी पर परखना चाहिए।.

Although he was born into slavery and endured a permanent physical disability, Epictetus (ca. 50-ca. 130 CE) maintained that all people are free to control their lives and live in harmony with nature. We will always be happy, he argued, if we learn to desire that things should be exactly as they are. After attaining his freedom, Epictetus spent his career teaching philosophy and advising a daily regimen of self-examination.

What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant? How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us?

¡Así que tú te dedicas a la filosofía! Con esta afirmación comienza este itinerario filosófico personal que Miquel Seguró convierte en una original invitación a la filosofía. A partir de siete tópicos contrafilosóficos ("la filosofía no sirve para nada"; "para qué pensar tanto si al final todos morimos"; "la ciencia lo acabará explicando todo"...) el autor pone en evidencia hasta qué punto la filosofía forma parte de la construcción de nuestra propia biografía.

Drawing on philosophy, literature, neuroscience, and other fields of study, Ligotti takes the penetrating lens of his imagination and turns it on his audience, causing them to grapple with the brutal reality that they are living a meaningless nightmare, and anyone who feels otherwise is simply acting out an optimistic fallacy.
