Giordano Bruno wurde 1548 zu Nola geboren. Er war ein Universalgelehrter, der an zahlreichen Universitäten Europas unterrichtet hat und immer wieder wurde er aufgrund seiner Ansichten von der katholischen Kirche verfolgt, verteufelt und schließlich am 17. Februar 1600 auf dem Campo dei Fiori in Rom verbrannt, nachdem er 7 Jahre von der Inquisition in deren Kerkern inhaftiert war. Am selben Platz wurde am 9. Juli 1889 unter feierlichen und lautstarken Protesten der italienischen Bevölkerung gegen den Vatikan sein Denkmal eingeweiht.

Story0
What do you do when your life has fallen apart? Fifteen hundred years ago, a Roman nobleman named Boethius asked this question as he was sitting in a prison cell waiting to die, accused—probably unjustly—of treason. Boethius had been a rich and powerful man with all a person could want in life, but now he had lost everything. Shaken, he wondered how such terrible misfortune could have happened to him and why life was so unfair.

Over two millennia after its compilation, the Politics still offers much to consider with regards to political science. Aristotle's succinct and thoughtful analysis is based on his study of over 150 city constitutions and covers the gamut of political issues in order to establish which types of constitution are best, ideally as well as for particular circumstances, and how they may be maintained.

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Lao Tzu. The text's authorship, date of composition, and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China.

Stoicism has a lot to offer that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago—its guiding purpose was to help us to live better lives. The Stoic golden rule was that "we can't control external events, but we can choose how to respond to them". This idea can have a profound effect on how we exist in the world.

Story16
Ancient Greece first coined the concept of democracy, yet almost every major ancient Greek thinker - from Plato and Aristotle onward - was ambivalent toward or even hostile to democracy in any form. The explanation for this is quite simple: The elite perceived majority power as tantamount to a dictatorship of the proletariat. In ancient Greece, there can be traced not only the rudiments of modern democratic society but the entire Western tradition of antidemocratic thought.

Die kleine Schrift von Karl Jaspers weist auf eine oft übersehene Tatsache hin: Das Bekenntnis Friedrich Nietzsches zu Jesus – und das mitten im 'Antichrist', dem 'Fluch auf das Christentum'. Nietzsche zeichnet dabei das Bild eines Menschen, das mit der 'Vertretungssoteriologie' des Christentums nichts mehr zu tun hat. Darüber hinaus stellt er seine Gedanken als ein Angebot dar, das jeder Einzelne, immer wieder neu, zu prüfen hat.

The Stoic philosopher Musonius Rufus was one of the most influential teachers of his era, imperial Rome, and his message still resonates with startling clarity today. Alongside Stoics like Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, he emphasized ethics in action, displayed in all aspects of life. Merely learning philosophical doctrine and listening to lectures, they believed, will not do one any good unless one manages to interiorize the teachings and apply them to daily life.
