Selten nur findet man Sokrates außerhalb der Stadtmauern Athens. Meistens findet man ihn angeregt diskutierend auf Markplätzen, in öffentlichen Gebäuden und in Privathäusern. Im Phaidros aber macht er einen mittäglichen Spaziergang mit eben jenem jungen Mann Phaidros an einem Flüsschen entlang hin zu einer Platane. Dort lassen sie sich nieder und, den Schatten und das laue Lüftchen in der Mittagshitze genießend, beginnen sie sich zu unterhalten.

Zufällig trifft Sokrates einen Freund auf der Straße. Ein Gespräch entspinnt sich, in dem Sokrates von seiner Begegnung mit dem weithin bekannten Sophisten Protagoras erzählt. So kurz der Handlungsrahmen wiederzugeben ist, so inhaltsreich das, was Platon in diesem frühen Dialog seinen Lesern zu bieten hat. Im Protagoras lässt Platon Sokrates sich erstmalig mit den Sophisten streiten. Überdeutlich tritt zutage, wo zwischen sokratischer Dialektik und sophistischem Denksport die Unterschiede liegen.

Brought to you by Penguin. Say 'philosopher,' and someone grand, old and bearded might come to mind. But, as philosophy professor Scott Hershovitz shows in this delightful debut, some of the best philosophers in the world are better described as nasty, brutish and short--that is to say, they're...

La philosophie, une affaire grecque ? Seulement européenne, occidentale ? Absolument pas ! Partout dans le monde, d'autres cultures, d'autres langues ont des usages multiples de la raison et de son exercice, qui produisent des systèmes de pensée rigoureux, déductifs, démonstratifs. Des philosophies à part entière. Encore faut-il trouver des chemins pour y accéder. En grand pédagogue, Roger-Pol Droit nous propose d'"entrer dans les têtes" des philosophes d'ailleurs, indiens ou chinois, logiciens bouddhistes tibétains ou japonais, penseurs juifs ou arabo-musulmans.

With his feet firmly on the ground, he challenged the speculative ideas of David Hume and George Berkeley who regarded ideas in the mind as a basis for the external world. Instead, the pugnacious but lively Reid took a much more ‘common sense’ view in basing his ideas of reality on sensus communis. Starting from a Ciceronian, stoical platform, he developed his views on more rational attitudes towards reality - ‘direct realism’.

Epictetus was one of the main voices of the philosophy of the Stoa, and as such most influentia. His "Enchiridion", or handbook, is a manual for practical philosophy. It offers carefully worded instructions for an ethical, sustained way of life. A very old text - but true to this very day and age!
