History

"Love is the desire for the perpetual possession of the good." These timeless words echo through the ages, inviting listeners to explore one of the most profound questions of human existence. What is love? Is it a mere passion of the body, or a divine force that elevates the soul? In The Symposium, Plato takes us to an ancient Athenian banquet where the finest minds of the classical world—philosophers, poets, and politicians—gather to unravel this enigma.

To listen to The Sayings of Marcus is to walk beside an emperor who governed not through cruelty or conquest, but by reason, restraint, and virtue. This collection presents rare, firsthand glimpses of Marcus Aurelius not as a distant symbol of power, but as a human being navigating the immense burden of imperial responsibility with unwavering Stoic discipline. Here is Marcus confronting betrayal with mercy, rejecting revenge in the arena, and speaking candidly of philosophy, war, death, and duty. His words, at once spare and profound, offer a timeless testament to character under pressure.

En su ensayo La paz perpetua, Immanuel Kant expone una serie de principios racionales y éticos para lograr una paz duradera entre las naciones. Pero si trasladamos estos postulados a la dimensión individual, encontramos una poderosa metáfora: la paz entre los Estados puede verse como la paz interna entre las distintas partes de nuestro ser.

Plato explores the nature of knowledge through a conversation between Socrates, the young mathematician Theaetetus, and Theodorus, his teacher.

Pensées pour moi-même, l'empereur philosophe Marc Aurèle nous livre un témoignage intime et intemporel sur la condition humaine, le devoir, la souffrance, la mort, et la vertu. Rédigées pour lui-même, ces réflexions stoïciennes n’étaient pas destinées à la publication, ce qui leur confère une sincérité brute et touchante. Ce chef-d'œuvre de la philosophie antique devient alors un guide profond pour quiconque cherche à vivre avec sagesse, force intérieure, et sérénité face aux épreuves de l’existence.
