Plato bildet die Höhe der gesamten griechischen Geistesarbeit, indem in ihm ihre beiden Hauptrichtungen, das Erkenntnisverlangen und der Gestaltungstrieb, das wissenschaftliche und das künstlerische Streben, sich miteinander verbinden und durcheinander steigern.

Es dauerte eine Weile, bis Kants Zeitumgebung erkannte, wie sehr seine Leistung ihrem eigenen Streben entgegen-kam. Aber als sie es erkannte, da fielen ihm weiteste Kreise mit heller Begeisterung zu und folgten den von ihm eröffneten Bahnen. Denn sein Werk schien das sie beseelende Verlangen nach Freiheit erst recht zu begründen und abschließend... Read more

"Qu'est-ce que je serais heureux si j'étais heureux !" Cette formule de Woody Allen dit peut-être l'essentiel : que nous sommes séparés du bonheur par l'espérance même qui le poursuit. La sagesse serait au contraire de vivre pour de bon, au lieu d'espérer vivre. C'est où l'on rencontre les leçons d'Epicure, des stoïciens, de Spinoza, ou, en... Read more

One of two major philosophical traditions of the twentieth century was Wittgenstein's linguistic analysis. The other, diametrically opposed, came from Heidegger, and his fundamental question: "What is the meaning of existence?"

In an age when philosophers had scarcely glimpsed the horizons of the mind, a boy named Aristocles decided to forgo his ambitions as a wrestler.

With Friedrich Nietzsche, philosophy was dangerous not only for philosophers but for everyone.

Kierkegaard wasn't really a philosopher in the academic sense, yet he produced what many people expect of philosophy. He didn't write about the world, he wrote about life, about how we live, and how we choose to live. His subject was the individual and his or her existence, the "existing being." In Kierkegaard's view, this purely subjective... Read more

Immanuel Kant taught and wrote prolifically about physical geography yet never traveled further than forty miles from his home in Königsberg.

In Rousseau we encounter a walking ego, a naked sensibility. Feeling triumphs over intellectual argument in his works, which are both deeply stirring and deeply inconsistent. Yet while his contemporaries Kant and Hume may have been superior academic philosophers, the sheer power of Rousseau’s ideas was unequaled in his time. It was he who... Read more
