The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives

A renowned Buddhist teacher turns to two of the most influential figures in history for guidance on how to face the ethical challenges of our time"[Batchelor] draws on a different tradition of doubt-Socratic questioning-and explores the wisdom that Buddhist and Hellenistic philosophy might offer us today."-Ezra Klein, The Ezra Klein Show &nbsp; The Buddha's revolutionary teachings transformed Asia, and his contemporary Socrates laid the foundations of Western philosophy. Although they never met, Socrates and the Buddha each addressed in a radically new and surprisingly similar way the core questions of how to lead a good, just, and dignified life amid turbulence and violence. Common to their teachings was an ethics of uncertainty: both refused to make truth claims about the ultimate nature of reality, insisting on the primacy of critical self¿evaluation as the basis of an ethical life. &nbsp; In this illuminating book, best-selling author Stephen Batchelor explores the philosophical, social, and political worlds of the Buddha and Socrates, showing how their teachings continue to provide lessons in how to lead a flourishing and engaged life. Keenly aware of the fickle and conflicted nature of the human mind, Gotama and Socrates inspired their followers to act with humility and courage, risk and resolve, doubt and confidence. Drawing on their insights, and those of their followers, Batchelor uncovers a middle way between Buddhist dharma and Greek philosophy that can serve as a starting point for a "secular faith" that addresses the most pressing spiritual and planetary issues of our age.

The Year

Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun-from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences - ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history's most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones. Illustrated with examples from history and pop culture - Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie - Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals? Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the life-changing power of language, Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

Text und Textlichkeit

In den Philosophiegeschichten lässt man die Moderne entstehen aus einer von Kant vollendeten Wende von einer Ausrichtung auf die Dinge zu einer Reflexion des Denkens auf sich selbst. Die vermeintliche Einzigartigkeit dieser Wende verstellt den Blick darauf, dass es auch vor der von Kant kritisierten Metaphysik seiner Zeit analytische Untersuchungen des Denkens gab. Bereits in der Antike entwickelte man aus diesen Analysen gegensätzliche Begriffe von Denken. Das führte dazu, dass es Phasen gab, in denen es fast keinen weiteren Transfer der Vorgänger-Positionen gab oder dass deren Lehren nur in einer Umdeutung durch die neue Lehre weiter tradiert wurden. Geht man den Gründen für diese Antithesen nach, stößt man auf Positionen, für die die Arbeit des Denkens erst einsetzt, wenn ihm Gegenstände 'gegeben' sind, während andere jede Fähigkeit, etwas für sich zu unterscheiden und dadurch erst Gegenstände zu haben, als Denken begreifen. Platon und Aristoteles und ihre Traditionen sind Vertreter der einen, die hellenistischen Schulen Vertreter der anderen Position. Es ist deren Begriff von Denken, auf den die Moderne zurückgreift. Das Buch versucht, die von beiden Seiten ausgeblendeten Bereiche aufzuhellen und eine nicht nur historische Anerkennung, sondern eine sachliche Auseinandersetzung möglich zu machen.

The history of philosophy is often divided up into the history of modernity and its prehistory. History begins with the subject being enlightened about itself, and everything leading up to that point is seen as prehistory. This perspective does not consider any other forms of enlightenment at all. This book attempts to reconstruct the enlightenments that have been declared non-modern and to reintegrate the interrupted transfer process.

Über eine nötige Korrektur des Wissenstransfers in den Philosophiegeschichten

Die Wege der (europäischen) Philosophie in die Moderne

Band 15/II: Aristoteles Werke

Der Kommentar versucht, die auszulegenden Bücher ¿-E als Hinführung in das Gesamtkonzept von Aristoteles' Metaphysik zu integrieren, das Seiende (als den allgemeinsten Gegenstand) unter dem umfassendsten Gesichtspunkt zu untersuchen, was es in seinem Sein begründet. In ¿ wird diese Aufgabe der zu begründenden Wissenschaft eingeführt und exemplarisch am Satz des ausgeschlossenen Widerspruchs erläutert. Dieser ist für Aristoteles nicht bloß logisch die Voraussetzung jeder sinnvollen Mitteilung, sondern verleiht zugleich einem Seienden die Bestimmtheit, ohne die es nicht sein kann. In ¿ werden für diese Untersuchung erforderliche Begriffe im Sinn einer deskriptiven Metaphysik im Ausgang vom alltagssprachlichen Gebrauch entwickelt, nicht ohne systematische Zusammenhänge. In E findet sich der wichtige Methodengrundsatz: An der Erörterung des jeweils höchsten Seienden können paradigmatisch Einsichten von universaler Bedeutung gewonnen werden. Eine eingehende Analyse des Textes, die auch Fragen der Übersetzung und der Textkritik nicht ausspart, sofern sie philosophisch bedeutsam sind, vermag zu zeigen: In den meisten Aussagen sind intrikate, vielfach verflochtene Fragen angesprochen, die auch für eine heutige systematische Philosophie sachlich bedeutsam sind.

This commentary conceives of books Γ–E of Aristotle’s 
 Metaphysics
 as an introduction to the problematics of the highest science he is founding, which grounds a being in its being. This rigorous text analysis, which also addresses philosophically significant questions of translation and textual criticism, also shows how relevant many of Aristotle’s statements can be for a contemporary philosopher with a systematic interest.

Metaphysik

Although Plato is considered by many to be the "founder" of psychology, it is controversial to what extent Plato's various statements on the soul can be combined to form an actual psychological theory. In this volume, which stems from the 2024 Tübingen Platon-Tage, thirteen international researchers examine various aspects of Plato's treatment of the soul that can be called "psychological" in a narrower sense, such as his theory of perception, desire, pleasure, or imagination (
 phantasia
 ). Particular attention is paid to the question of the extent to which such phenomena are psychophysical, i.e., they concern not only the soul but also the body. In addition, there are contributions that seek to clarify what it means for Plato that the soul is a principle of life and also the ruler of the body and its dispositions and processes. Finally, several contributors address the question of the mathematical constitution of the soul in Plato and in the Ancient Academy. In doing so, the volume takes a fresh look at key Platonic texts that discuss phenomena of the soul, such as the 
 Phaedo
 , the 
 Theaetetus
 , the 
 Timaeus
 and the 
 Philebus
 , but also, for example, the 
 Sophist
 . As a result, several main trends emerge: for example, that for Plato the question of the role of the soul is closely linked to the question of the role of the body, and that the problem later addressed by Aristotle is strongly influenced by Plato, not only with regard to the status of the soul, but also with regard to the contribution of the body to the explanation of mental phenomena. Together, these findings provide a basis both for pursuing larger questions about Plato's psychology as a unified theory and for exploring his influence on later traditions, from Aristotelianism to the modern era.

A Little History of Science

'Donald J. Robertson is one of my favourite writers' - Ryan Holiday, bestselling author and founder of The Daily Stoic 'One of the best books ever written on the power and practicality of philosophy for building a good and successful life' - Tom Morris, bestselling author of Plato's Lemonade Stand and Stoicism for Dummies How can we apply the teachings of the greatest ancient philosopher to modern life? Socrates is the most famous ancient philosopher and the source of the entire Western philosophical tradition. He spent his life teaching practical philosophy to ordinary people in the streets of Athens, yet few people today are familiar with the wisdom he has to offer us - until now. In this groundbreaking book, Donald J. Robertson, a practising cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, transports readers back to the streets of ancient Athens, expertly weaving together a page-turning account of the visionary man to show us how we can apply Socratic ideas to our daily lives. Through a vivid, semi-fictionalized narrative, readers have a ringside seat to witness Socrates's journey firsthand - from his military service and public trials to his ultimate execution. This engaging guide introduces the core Socratic principles and reveals how his method of rigorous self-examination is more relevant than ever in a world filled with misinformation. 'Engagingly written and highly accessible, especially innovative in highlighting the significance of Socratic philosophy for modern readers' - Chris Gill, Professor Emeritus of Ancient Thought, Exeter University
